The Substack That Didn’t Age Well
Te Pāti Māori win easily – but how about that turnout?

Labour’s Loose Lips Sink Ships: Senior MPs’ Rogue Statements Expose Party Incompetence
At its core, this mess reveals Labour’s competence crisis. From the leader down, they cannot maintain a united front, fact check their attacks or even remember their own policies.
Peeni Henare Goes Rogue: Labour’s Soft Spot for Gangs Exposed Again
If Henare keeps this up, it won’t just be his career on the line: it’ll confirm Hipkins’ days as leader are numbered.
Labour’s Soft Spot for Gangs Exposed Again: Peeni Henare Spills the Beans on Repealing the Patch Ban
This by-election might be boring to most, but it’s revealing Labour’s true colours.
Labour’s NCEA Debacle: Hypocrisy, Incompetence and a Failing System
This saga exposes Labour for what they are: a party more interested in protecting their legacy than fixing a broken system.
Labour’s Nasty Streak Laid Bare as MPs Swear and Sneer at Seymour
Labour’s Nasty Party reputation is well-earned and no amount of crocodile tears will wash it away. Next time Russell or Webb feel the urge to swear, they should try coming up with an actual argument instead.
Willie Jackson’s Delusion: Labour’s Māori Electorate Pipe Dream Is About to Get Smashed
Willie Jackson can tell the Herald he doesn’t want a war but it’s coming whether he likes it or not. Te Pāti Māori’s not here to negotiate a ceasefire; they’re here to win. And when the dust settles, Labour’s going to be left wondering why they didn’t see it coming.
Ranked on Their Mid-Term Prospects

Does Ginny Actually Have Any Friends?
Who would name an organisation "KOCS"? The Labour Party, of course.
The Pathway from Frumpy Loser to Leader
The move is on. Will Ayesha Verrall make the cut to become the next Labour leader?
Labour’s Antisemitism Problem
Labour in the UK had a terrible anti-Semitism issue, so much so they needed an inquiry and the removal of some MPs. Labour in New Zealand seems to have a similar issue, but are strangely silent on the issue, even as their MPs signal support for the genocidal attacks against Israel on Oct 7.
The Whispering Campaign Against Hipkins Has Started
You know the end is nigh when various left-wing mouthpieces start saying out loud what others are only whispering in to their chardonnays or their Fair trade decaf soy latte coffees.
Bolger Thought He Was Secure Too
Jim Bolger thought he was secure when he went overseas as Prime Minister, only to be met by my father telling him Jenny Shipley had the numbers to roll him. Chris Hipkins now dances with the same perils as he swans off to the UK.
Tell Him He’s Dreamin’
Chris Hipkins is delusional. Most Kiwis see him as the ugly face of the Ardern regime, the guy who presided over multiple debacles in Health, Education, Police and Covid. Claiming his caucus backs him is fanciful.
