The Green party can only blame themselves for selecting an activist as co-leader. Marama Davidson has divided the party with her radical views, many of which have nothing whatsoever to do with what is supposed to be an environmental party. If I was unkind I would say that she
ACT party Press Release: “148 days since the Arms Amendment Act was signed into law, and just a few months until the end of the firearms amnesty, police are still working out which firearms and parts should be banned”, ACT Leader David Seymour says. An updated list of prohibited guns
Thank goodness Jacinda Ardern spares us the use of the title of “comrade” heard too often in her youthful address to communist socialist youth rallies. But unfortunately she’s swapped out this word for another one. She overuses the title “Minister”. It’s Minister Little, Minister Twyford and Minister Woods,
ACT Party Press Release: “The revelation that a Ministry of Education contractor was paid $500,000 without having any contact with students is yet another reason to downsize our education bureaucracy and free up resources to pay teachers more”, ACT Leader David Seymour says. “It is also deeply ironic that
I want to make it clear that I do not disagree with making our waterways cleaner and safer. Yes, once there was a time when we could swim in all the rivers here, but I have also swum at beaches in Hong Kong in the 1980s where faeces were floating
As I wrote some time ago, the left never let ignorance get in the way of babbling cretinous opinions – nowhere more obviously than when it comes to free speech. Raybon Kan goes one worse: not only is he plainly ignorant about the very basics of free speech, he openly advocates
When my better half watched a documentary on solar flare, which is a sudden unpredictable flash of increased brightness on the sun, we talked about the possible correlation between the sun’s variability and global warming. It just makes sense. We are curious people but not scientists, and Wikipedia says
As I wrote yesterday, New Zealand and Australia face some hard strategic challenges in the coming decades. Whether or not American power in the Pacific declines – and I suspect that rumours of its demise are greatly exaggerated – it remains certain that Beijing will continue to flex its military and economic
The NZ Greens have shown themselves to be the most intolerant party in NZ, and I do not say that lightly. They claim to be tolerant and to support diversity, but within their ranks they ruthlessly purge their party of anyone who dares to express a non-party-sanctioned opinion.
Dieuwe de Boer Right Minds Liam Hehir, Stuff’s token moderate, has decided to call it quits. His reasons are fairly noble: he wants to spend more time with his family, and having to write a weekly column is too much pressure to balance against a real career and family.
Radio NZ Morning Report Corin: Well the National party says the government has broken its promise by scrapping its KiwiBuild targets. Yesterday the new minister, Megan Woods, ditched the target of building 100,000 homes over ten years saying “the pressure of meeting that target is partly to blame for
Albert-Eden Local Board (Owairaka subdivision) Albert-Eden Local Board RATINGS GUIDE: $ to $$$$$ with $ being a leftist trougher and $$$$$ being small government dynamo For some however, a clown is more appropriate. More than one may be awarded. I note that the candidate profiles on voteauckland.co.nz now have some
The original idea was floated by David Shearer in 2014. It was named Kiwibuild. The Labour Party imagined itself as the champion of young families; providing them all with homes, as they had done in the 1960s. This time, though, it would be even better, as these houses would be
For decades, the left in New Zealand has operated under the cosy assumption that the country’s relative isolation allows them to indulge their ideological conceits of pacifism and anti-Americanism. Leftist New Zealand politicians since at least Lange have figured that they can safely signal their virtues without incurring
