Now They Want to BAN Pump Actions
Nicole McKee Spokesperson Fair and Reasonable Campaign Since our last post, our lawyers have now been through the detail of the proposed changes. You can read their report here: Arms Legislation Bill – Analysis of the Select Committee Report There are many areas where the Select Committee’s report suggest they
The Testimony that the Politicians Did Everything They Could to Block
Radix Jacqui’s Story – ‘I was conceived in rape. I value life.’ Jacqui has a powerful story to tell – a story which politicians should hear BEFORE they pass a radical and extreme abortion law in New Zealand. But the politicians on the Select Committee denied her the opportunity to make
The BFD Face of the Day
The Abortion Legislation Committee has delivered its much anticipated report on the Abortion Legislation Bill. […] The Select Committee received more than 25,000 submissions on the often divisive bill, which will remove the medical procedure from the Crimes Act. In the report, the committee explicitly wanted to note that the
Red Radio Commissars vs Concert FM
The story developed rather quickly. The board of Red Radio announced they were killing off Concert FM, the classical music radio station that supports musicians and orchestras up and down the country. Outrage was heard. Court action was threatened. Aunty Helen intervened. Concert FM was saved. Yet something feels off.
Audio: Paula Bennett Does Hypocrisy. ‘Chilling and Concerning…Incredibly Dangerous’
This is the same Paula Bennett who stayed in the office while she fed her staff and MPs to Melanie Reid in order to do a political hit job on Jami-Lee Ross. This is the same Paula Bennett who is a member of a political party that regularly sent
Will Ardern Be PM for Three More Years?
Don’t we just love to speculate about politics. To analyse the polls and guess at what we think might happen. The scenarios can be many and varied and of course some of our views are deeply influenced by our own wishful thinking. For example, there’s nothing I’d
Gangs with Guns
Someone once said that the biggest gang in New Zealand is the New Zealand Police. While I have respect for the police and they are obviously not criminals, I do get the point that they are a powerful group. Since Stuart Nash under Jacinda Ardern, started listening exclusively to the

The muck-rakers’ union is upset that someone had the temerity to do to a couple of shifty journalists that which they do themselves all the time to people whose lives they want to wreck with their “public interest” stories. The journalists union, E tu is seeking an assurance from
US Government Claims Huawei ‘Smoking Gun’
Some time back, I started to write a post for The BFD, grudgingly ceding credit where it was due to the Ardern government for banning Huawei from New Zealand’s 5G network. “That was a wise decision”, I began to write. Huawei is notorious not just for the sort of
If You Think Hate Speech is BAD, How About a Hate SONG!

‘A Radio Station’ Is SCARED of ‘A Website’
A new NZ media website has not been around for very long but already it is striking fear into the heart of a Radio Station. How do I know this? Well, “a Radio Station” reported on a website in relation to a news story but referred to it cravenly as
Is Bridges Giving us a Labour – Greens Government?
This month marks the second anniversary of National’s anointment of Simon Bridges as Party Leader. It would be fair to say that there was a high level of surprise by his selection. He really wasn’t on the radar before he suddenly became leader and many wondered openly about
