The duplicitous PM deliberately cherry-picked and misrepresented the British Medical Journal results as exposed by Cam Slater in his article, “Your Mask is as Useless as …” on April 3,

There must be a public poll coming. How do I know? Easy, the tyrant Jacinda Ardern is posting inane rubbish on social media and her lickspittles in the media slavishly leap on the posts and create ‘news’ out of it. It’s a shell game she loves playing with you
Victims of crime missed out on support they were entitled to because Justice Minister Kris Faafoi failed to sign off the criteria for a $3 million victim support fund for more than five months after the fund was announced, National’s Justice spokesperson Paul Goldsmith says. “Earlier this month it

Information Opinion The announcement from the government that employers do not have to rehire unvaccinated workers came as a shock. Employers should tread very carefully in this area, as it appears, to me at least, to fly in the face of employment law as it is applied today. The new
Farmlands are the latest store to deploy discriminatory and pointless policies against their own customers. They’ve chucked someone out of their store and trespassed them for the high crime of not wearing a mask: A woman has been left shocked and hurt after being kicked out of a Farmlands
