Shameless Gloating

Sir Bob Jones nopunchespulled.com Sorry to rub it in (I’m not really) but my prediction on this blog in early 2020 that “when it’s all done and dusted, Sweden’s non-lockdown approach to covid will have proved to be the correct one”. Apart from the fact

Recently Grant Robertson joined in the discussion around the US Supreme Court decision on abortion and did

NZ’s Rich Underground Resources Go Begging

Information Opinion The future of mining in NZ is pretty grim under our Green-aligned, unproductive government. At the rate it spends money, anyone of mediocre intelligence would figure out that producing money should be high on the agenda. Not so. Their much touted climate emergency ranks above growing the

New Zealand Second-Worst Country to Move To

Information Opinion I came to New Zealand in the 1980s as an expat. It was a lovely place. Friendly people, low levels of traffic, fabulous beaches, jobs easy to come by. I thought I had come to heaven. I raved about the place to family and friends back home. Now,

Painted Themselves into a Corner

They’ve Painted Themselves into a Corner

Faced with a perfect storm of falling poll numbers, rising and rampant inflation and poor, reactive decisions of their own making, the Labour Government has been forced to roll over fuel excise and road user charge cuts yet again. They’ve painted themselves into a corner on fuel prices, and

Face of the Day

An amateur attempt at deflection by Ms Nanaia Mahuta… The people who are calling for transparency and accountability aren’t trolls hiding “behind pseudonyms”, but other Government ministers and the media. She said it led to “cartoons, memes, social media posts and commentary which you wouldn’t wish on your

Guess the Taniwha Is Having a Sook

I recently read an excellent history of the Krakatoa explosion, Simon Winchester’s Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded. The book touches on everything from Dutch colonialism to how the discovery of gutta-percha revolutionised communications technology. It also, naturally, discusses similar supervolcanoes, such as Tambora – also in Indonesia – which

Jacinda’s Army is Coming For You
