They Should Stick To Their Guns

When Malcolm Turnbull was Prime Minister of Australia he had an unfortunate habit which would go something like this: a policy would be announced, it would be passed by the House of Representatives, be sent to the Senate; the gridlock in the Senate from 2013 would make it clear fairly

An Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove

Dr Muriel Newman nzcpr.com Appointed as New Zealand’s Prime Minister in 2017, Jacinda Ardern has been described as an iron fist in a velvet glove. She wooed the world with talk of kindness and compassion, while at home ruling like a dictator with little regard for public opinion

Luxon Gives Us a Peek at His Balls

I’m always constantly perplexed as to why National ever bothers to go to Ratana each year and be harangued by Maori. When Chris Finlayson was the Treaty Negotiations minister I always thought it was because he enjoyed getting an annual kick in the balls and really enjoyed the spankings.

Cult of Ardern Comes up Empty

Authoritarian regimes almost always cultivate a Cult of Personality around their Dear Leaders, and the Ardern government was no different. Introducing the so-called “Public Interest Journalism Fund” was a master-stroke that effectively gagged the New Zealand media with the apron strings of government funding. But in any case,

Sepuloni Has Not Been a Great Minister

Hot on the heels of media nonsense about Ardern’s departure – for instance, it was driven by misogyny despite many of her harshest critics being females – comes the fawning over Sepuloni. In the NZ Herald Thomas Coughlan writes: Sepuloni’s elevation to the top may challenge this. She’s Social

As I write this Chris Hipkins is being confirmed as Prime Minister of New Zealand. The left-wing media are desperately trying to push the reset button with all sorts of twaddle about him being some kind of mad right winger in an attempt to pretend the numerous crises facing
