It Is No Longer a Theory
Someday soon, we will find ourselves subjects in a digital gulag, constantly monitored and judged and always one little misstep away from being cast out into digital exile.
NZ Politics
The Left Can’t Satire, Either
I don’t know, maybe regular readers of the Spinoff would find all this hilarious. All I see is the far-left showing everybody else how it sees the rest of us.
More Biased Voices Are Wanted
Stuff is calling for Kiwis to share views on what's happening in Israel and Gaza, but don't expect there to be any balance.
Jami-Lee Ross: The Comeback Kid Deserves a Shot at Redemption
Look, nobody’s saying you have to forget the past. But holding it over someone’s head forever is a cheap shot. We’ve all got skeletons in our closets: what matters is what we do next.
Repealing the Offshore Oil Ban: A Bold Move to Undo Labour’s Economic Sabotage
We know what’s at stake: a thriving economy or a return to Labour’s dark ages. The coalition’s got it right – now they just need to see it through.

For many foreign nationals, New Zealand has become a stepping stone. A place to wait and qualify before making the real move.

The people and corporations who ‘win’ in the trans industry won’t be happy for our children and youth to stop at social transition. Where’s the money in that? The goal can only be the medicalisation and mutilation of our children, which the ‘health’ industry calls “gender-affirming healthcare”.
The Debate Over Transgender Inclusion in Sport
The Law Commission is currently reviewing whether gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics, should be added to the Human Rights Act.
The Psyche of a Small, Proud, Compliant Country
NZ was not the test case this time. Ardern knew the Covid-19 injections would cause harm but went ahead and imposed them upon an accepting public.
