Everything about politics
Politicians really give me the screaming dabdabs sometimes. The latest fool to utter foolish words is Prime Minister Chris Hipkins, who has declared that NZ needs to “get real” about its vulnerable roading network. Say what? New Zealand needs to “get real” about its vulnerable roading network in the aftermath

Jennie George is hardly a raving, right-wing nut job. In fact, she’s a former Labor government minister and trade union leader, married to a former Communist Party activist. But, back then, Labor actually stood for working-class people. Working-class people who built things. Things that made the
I find it hard to imagine a Jewish school hiring a radical jihadi as a teacher, or indeed, an Islamic school hiring a militant atheist or transgender activist. Or a Catholic school hiring an outspoken pro-abortionist. Faith-based schools are, well, faith-based. Like it or not, their religious

The backlash against transgender ideology is gathering pace. Switzerland and Hungary are refusing to endorse the dangerous nonsense of “gender neutral birth certificates” and “self identifying”. Other countries are backing away from the so-called “affirmation model” and surgically and chemically mutilating children at ever-younger ages. Now, it’s
Nothing says “I’m an out-of-touch leftist” quite like a politician spruiking a vehicle that costs as much as a Mercedes or BMW, is made by a brutal communist dictatorship, and uses materials mined by child labour in Africa. Materials mined and refined in environmental disaster areas. If

Nicola Sturgeon resigned at 11 am today and gave her main reason as burnout. Meanwhile, an SNP official told Politico: ‘It’s a Jacinda Ardern moment. Better to leave
Brian Tamaki With talk of Luxon being replaced as leader circulating, it brings up a deeper issue that’s been festering away for some time in the National party. It’s the “Political Cancer” that’s been eating away at the party. It started way back when the party had
It’s been interesting watching the discussion around ‘misinformation’, ‘disinformation’ and ‘extremist content’ online. In fact, this is a new concept that has only recently entered the public discussion around digital technologies and social media. I think it is remarkable that our political elites consider them such a threat to
Sir Bob Jones nopunchespulled.com New Prime Minister Hipkins is currently getting a free ride with the bored media trying to promote him as an appealing fresh new broom. He’s anything but that. Take the invention of a hitherto unheard nick-name “Chippy”, this to induce a likeable character,
Yesterday there was a spirited debate on this site about Christopher Luxon and his lacklustre performance. On the one hand is the spin that he is a successful businessman and knows how to run business, and the other says that he lacks charisma and gravitas and is just not gelling.
Boy, Aucklanders must be so glad that they now have a brand new Minister for Auckland. Hasn’t he just been a tower of strength throughout the whole flooding and cyclone damage? He went there, and he stood by a cameraman for a bit, and he…ummm, well he err…
