NZ Politics
Alcohol a Concern (But Not Abortion)
When it comes to FASD, the government is clearly signalling that the unborn child is human and has value. Yet simultaneously, Minister Dooecy voted for Labour’s extreme abortion legislation in 2020.
Two States
The just position for our government to take is to encourage a democratic Israel to continue its attempt to get rid of Hamas.
It’s Not Unusual, They Say
Any attempt to tell us this is usual is a smokescreen to hide the reality.
TPM: Damage Control by the Media
The predicted groundswell after hīkoi didn’t materialise.
Te Pāti Māori’s Takuta Ferris Fans the Flames of Racial Hate and Political Violence

If he’s serious about a political comeback with NZ First, he needs to sharpen up fast. Crass jokes might fly in the pub but in politics they can sink you quicker than a lead balloon.

Any attempt to support the bill in its present form or a compromise version which effectively deregulates genetic editing in laboratories will be a opening into an entirely uncertain and risky future.
The Clark and Key Visit to China
It’s impossible to understand why there should have been the slightest criticism of Helen Clark and John Key for attending the parade. In helping to preserve New Zealand’s relationship with our most important trading partner, we owe them our gratitude.
