Darryl Betts Comparing notes with like-minded people is comforting but I worry that it is unlikely to have a significant impact on the great echo chamber encompassing the New Zealand government, mainstream media, and many of my fellow Kiwis. So I bravely journeyed into what feels very much like
If there’s one thing Covid has increasingly illustrated it is how different Auckland is to the rest of the country. Without wishing to be insulting to those outside of Auckland they could probably be best described as our country cousins. This was very apparent in the current lockdown. Most
Dear Editor Are we really supposed to believe that Grant Robertson was not previously aware and had to be told, upon condescendingly visiting the exiled Auckland kingdom, that hair salons could not open but beauty therapists could; that these locked down hairdressers were suffering, being forced out of business or
When leaving Auckland this Christmas you can be assured things will not run smoothly, or as promised, because the MoH are in charge. They earned the equivalent of a PhD in mismanagement through their extraordinarily bad handling of MIQ facilities. Southlanders are not fooled into thinking a digital vaccine certificate
Back when we busted Siouxsie Wiles and Nicola Gaston for breaking lockdown rules, despite them lecturing us all about how we should follow the rules, Dr Ashley Bloomfield let the cat out of the bag that Siouxsie Wiles had texted him. I made two OIA requests, one of Ashley Bloomfield,

The Parlermaid Despite my loathing for our current Prime Minster and her Cabinet of Incompetents, I will grudgingly give them credit for one thing. At the outset of this pandemic, they locked down New Zealand for long enough for us to assess our position and begin to plan a way
Information Opinion David ‘Tainted‘ Fisher, hack journalist for ‘A Newspaper‘ and all around (allegedly) duplicitous scumbag, has been paid (presumably) to write a piece for his employer where he waxes lyrical about the probability (he wishes?) that there will be a domestic terrorist attack in our fair land some time
Jacinda Ardern promised to be the most open and transparent government we have ever seen. That was at the same time she dishonestly told us she never lied. Both were of course lies, and are now being shown as such on an almost weekly basis. The latest example of willful
The Government must urgently direct Kainga Ora to drop its state house eviction ban which breaches its obligations as a landlord and is resulting in the victimisation of innocent neighbours, National’s spokesperson for Housing and Urban Development Nicola Willis says.
