Is Lack of Speed Camera Revenue Driving Zero Tolerance?

Is Lack of Speed Camera Revenue Driving Zero Tolerance?

Last week I wrote a post in regard to a recent announcement from Acting Superintendent Gini Welch that the NZ Police would now be operating a zero-tolerance speed limit breach policy permanently. In that post, I looked at some of the thinking behind the Police’s sudden urge to ticket

Cannabis Legal Reform – Arguments for and Against: A Reply

Recently The BFD published an article in three parts by James Farmer QC titled “Cannabis Legal Reform – Arguments for and Against”. The following is my reply. I have consistently believed that cannabis is a harmful substance and that people who use it for “recreational purposes” would be more sensible to

“I’m Going to Take Jack Dorsey’s A** Down”

Twitter may be about to join a very exclusive club: leftist oligarchs hit with multimillion-dollar lawsuits by Lin Wood. Wood is the lawyer who helped “Covington Kid” Nick Sandmann win undisclosed settlements – believe to be as much as several hundred million – from CNN and the Washington Post. At the time,

Not Even Pregnant Mums Are Safe from Dictator Dan’s Goons

You’ve got to hand it to Victorian premier Daniel Andrews, he’s really putting his state on the global map – for the wrong reasons. I’ve reported for months that Victoria’s state bureaucracy, especially its police, have gotten rolling drunk on the unelected power they’ve seized using

Victoria: The Death State

Victoria: The Death State

Victoria became the first state in Australia to legalise state-sanctioned suicide – or, to use the preferred bland euphemism, “Voluntary Assisted Dying” – last year. It’s also taking its first steps on the slippery slope that death-fanciers insist doesn’t exist. More than 300 people have applied­ to end their lives

Border Laws Challenge: Round 1 to Palmer

Border Laws Challenge: Round 1 to Palmer

West Australia’s McGowan Labor government may be patting themselves on the back for apparently heading off Big, Bad Clive Palmer at the legislative pass on one front, but they can’t legislate away the Constitution. Palmer may have lost his bid for compensation over his Balmoral South iron ore

WA’s Anti-palmer Law Could Cost All Australians

WA’s Anti-palmer Law Could Cost All Australians

Australia’s state governments haven’t exactly been covering themselves in glory over the last six months. There was the NSW government’s incompetent handling of the Ruby Princess cruise ship, which unleashed a wave of infections across Australia. Victoria has been a masterclass in failure, from its execrable hounding

There’s No Reason for It, It’s Just Police Policy

There’s No Reason for It, It’s Just Police Policy

We used to have a saying in the Police when you received an order that didn’t make any sense, “There’s no reason for it, it’s just Police policy.” It seemed to be a catch-all for all the non-sensical decisions we would be subject to. And it seems

Private Property Rights in NZ

Talk of private property rights is usually the stuff of law journals and academics and receives little public attention.  Like many things in life, it is only when something is taken away that you really come to appreciate it. New Zealand has seen a worrying erosion of private property rights

Andrews Government to Be Investigated Under Its Own Laws

Andrews Government to Be Investigated Under Its Own Laws

As I recently wrote, the horrorshow of the Victorian government’s hotel quarantine program may well blow up in premier Daniel Andrews’ face in a very personal way. The Victorian stands to be prosecuted under the draconian “industrial manslaughter” laws that Andrews himself enacted at the behest of his union

Too Bad What Kiwis Want

Too Bad What Kiwis Want

On 2 August I wrote an article for the BFD called, ‘Kiwis do not want a jab’. About 30% of New Zealanders said they would not want a COVID-19 vaccination. I also heard from friends who would not accept one either. I wrote in my guest post … New Zealand has

How Long Until the MSM Breach Their Own Guidelines Regarding Tarrant?

Back on the 2nd of May last year, we heard from The BFD correspondent WH about New Zealand’s major media outlets sudden desire to hide the truth from their readers, watchers and listeners when it came to reporting on the Christchurch murders carried out by Brenton Tarrant. It seemed
