Winston is the longest survivor in the gladiatorial palace we call parliament, but the last week has shown that he is not invincible. Although clearly not done for yet, questions are now being asked about how much longer he is likely to survive, and also what will happen to NZ

As a public service, The BFD is highlighting some of the consequences of ‘clean’, ‘green’ energy. We have looked at EV batteries and wind turbine blades. Today let’s look at solar panels or photovoltaic panels (PV). In May 2018, Michael Shellenberger, a Time Magazine “Hero of the Environment” and

It is a ‘climate emergency’! Poor St. Greta had to sail the Atlantic to show us how dire it had all become. Local authorities up and down the country have told us so. People are gluing themselves to roads, that is how bad the situation is, and the only thing
Has a dose of reality hit the Herald editors, or was it simply that something slipped through on a quiet Saturday when no one was looking? Fancy the MSM in New Zealand actually telling some real facts about JAG’s favourite obsession, electric vehicles (EVs). An article by Troy Bowker
