Dr Muriel Newman nzcpr.com The way that Jacinda Ardern’s Labour-Green-New Zealand First Coalition Government is dealing with the quarter of a million law-abiding New Zealanders who make up this country’s firearms community is a disgrace. Just a year ago, the Prime Minister had such
You can guarantee you won’t read that headline in the MSM. The script of her speech to the NZ Labour Party Conference (as posted on the Labour Party web site), has her saying “while I am loathed” – as she then goes on to talk about Campbell Barry becoming NZ’
Poor Simon, why bother voting for the Zero Carbon Bill when you are still going to be targeted as a denier? Simon Bridges’ office was defaced overnight by climate change activists. The National Party leader posted an image to Twitter on Sunday showing a dark liquid resembling oil coating the

Greg O’Connor Facebook I’ve been thinking about this over the last few days. When the Rebels Motorcycle gang, the first Australian gang, arrived here in 2009 the Nats talked very tough about how they weren’t going to allow them to establish. It didn’t work, and they

Serving at the beck and call of MPs furthering their own agendas and personal credibility, is it any wonder that the NZ police have lost the plot? Perfect for the job, a soft-spoken reasonable woman, Assistant Commissioner Sandra Venables fronted up to the AM show this week to remind
Judith Collins and Willie Jackson on Garner yesterday morning. Jackson made a comment about how well Ardern speaks Te Reo and much better than Judith Collins. Not missing a beat Judith Collins says she thinks she speaks English better than Ardern (Touche) and gives her a few other good verbal

Macca It was disappointing to read so many on this site laying into Bridges with National’s anti-gang policy. Make no mistake, I have little to no time for Bridges and think he is bloody arrogant. Surely he must see the damage he is doing to his party, yet
I think we are going to have to add to The BFD Left-wingese dictionary, as the Young Labour Camp sex pest has been discharged without conviction.
