Everything about politics
Judith Collins A thought about climate change. Politicians around the world have been calling for faster and faster action to reduce emissions. Our own Prime Minister has joined the political hype-train by announcing climate change is “my”/her generation’s nuclear-free moment. (Who made everyone under 40 “her”
The latest Newshub/Reid Research poll is out and it is bad for Jacinda Ardern personally along with Labour. Headline numbers are: National: 43.9% Labour: 41.6% Greens: 6.3% NZ First: 4.0% On those numbers, a Labour/Green government would be returned. The Nats simply don’t
In a clear case of protesting just a tad too much, Australia’s ABC has spent nearly 3000 words shrilly “fact-checking” the claim that the taxpayer-funded broadcaster is biased toward the green-left. When Professor Sinclair Davidson claimed that ABC employees are five times more likely to vote
Phil Goff has stormed home to win a second term as Mayor of Auckland, beating his main rival and former parliamentary colleague John Tamihere.
When Tucker Carlson dared to question the dogma that “diversity is a strength”, the left exploded in fury. Masked vigilantes besieged Carlson’s family – when they knew he was on-air and away from home – screaming their usual nonsense about “racism”, blah blah blah. Except that Carlson was right to
I am so sick of Rainbow tick this and Rainbow approved that. There is nothing beautiful at all about the power being wielded by the Rainbow lobby. They have a firm hold of the Auckland Council’s balls and it only takes a little squeeze to bring them into line.
Danny Bright It gives me no pleasure at all to say “told you so” with regard to my prediction last Wednesday. I said it would take a miracle, and unfortunately the miracle wasn’t forthcoming, so Aucklanders are stuck with another three years of numpty Goofy Goff. Listening to him
Christopher Luxon has started off his campaign to win Botany by single-handedly pissing off every single existing National caucus member, especially Todd Muller, who is seen as the wet team’s hope to replace the failing Simon Bridges. But that win could still come hard for Luxon. Ross is
There is a very good reason why Michelle Boag is known as a political poo finger. * She backed 2-time loser Bill English – LOST x two * Backed Maggie Barry to win in Botany- LOST to Jami-lee Ross * She backed Vic Crone for Mayor- LOST * She backed John Tamihere for
Four months after finishing phase one of The People’s wall on their land, the property owners share their story and an important message to all who donated to make it happen. If you have a great Youtube or Vimeo video to share send it to videos@thebfd.co.nz
OMG Trump was on fire in this video telling America that “the only way Joe Biden got to be Vice President is because he kissed Obama’s ass!” He also said that the so-called whistleblower worked for Biden and that Omar married her brother (which is true). If you
It seems that anti-farmer activism doesn’t begin at home for animal activist Chris Delforce. Delforce is the activist behind the insidious “Aussie Farms” map, which lists the location and contact details of every farm in Australia. The map, along with Delforce’s nutty “documentary”, Dominion, have been the
Lindsay Mitchell lindsaymitchell.blogspot.com There’s been discussion over the past few days about taxing wealthy pensioners more to claw back their Super. More and more 65+ year-olds are continuing to work. According to Age Concern in 2013, 22% of New Zealanders over the age of 65 years
Croaking Cassandra Statistics New Zealand Thursday morning released its monthly residential rentals series. I don’t usually pay any attention to these data but since I’d been thinking about the very low level of real interest rates, I decided to take a quick look for once. The series goes
“Politics,” said Groucho Marx. “Is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.” Never was that truer than in the ridiculous green campaign against plastics. While plastic pollution in the world’s oceans is undeniably a problem, the greens are comprehensively
As we endure the bratty antics of scowling ignoramus Greta Thunberg and her idiot parade of “climate-striking” infants, it’s easy to be fooled into thinking that the younger generation is going to hell in a handcart. That’s nothing new: oldies have been grumbling about the “youth of
