Where Is the Healthy, Open and Honest Debate?

The Freedoms & Rights Coalition Information Opinion It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that all of our politicians have coerced, pressured and manipulated a good portion of the general population into taking the Pfizer vaccine. Love it or hate it (the vaccine, that is), this type of

It’s Not Pretty outside the Echo Chamber

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

Letter to the Editor: Media Demonisation

Letter to the Editor: Grant Robertson the Glib

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

They Want to Destroy All That Is Good in NZ

This Ardern Labour government with its conniving, cunning, dishonest Maori caucus seem to be convinced that they have the right to destroy our democracy and introduce apartheid. They want to destroy everything good about New Zealand
