Last year New Zealand hosted the APEC online conference. Unbelievably for a wholly online conference, it still came with a price tag of $76 million dollars. We can at least tell you where $93,000 of that $76 Million dollars went. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs paid Stuff and the

Last year Stuff reported on the extent of media bludging from government troughs. It is eye-watering just how much taxpayer coin some media organisations have availed themselves of.

The landscape for conservative media is getting darker and darker. The BFD is faced with competitors that are hock deep in Government funded troughs and social media giants that stifle freedom of expression. Last year The BFD copped a second 30-day ban on Facebook. Our first one was for
