The Cult That Is Tikanga

Phil Green The political atmosphere has heated up recently, with events in Kaipara attracting the attention of both the MSM and political columnists trying to bring some sense and propaganda into the debate over ‘How much are we owned by Maori interests’. Quite a lot actually, if the sabre-rattling

Like Rats Deserting the Sinking Ship

Jacinda Ardern has announced that six Labour MPs are retiring from parliament…at the next election, which is 10 or 11 months away. Why is she doing this now? This makes no sense to me, and I cannot recall any time when another prime minister has had to do this.

Welcome to the New Normal

This past weekend has been an absolute shocker. This Government clearly has no idea what they are about and the police have even fewer clues. Here are four headlines from Saturday: One person shot dead at South Auckland church: Machete-wielding dairy robber chops off worker’s fingers: Many hospital

The Doctor Ewan Campbell is best known for his innovative soil-conditioning system. It was apparently such a threat to mainstream fertiliser companies that he became the subject of a weird commerce commission investigation for misleading claims. Then, to top off the persecution, he was imprisoned for tax crimes on

Australiazuela Is Next on the Road to Socialist Paradise

As I recently wrote, Europe’s idiotic infatuation with ludicrous “green energy” policies is leading it down the primrose path of destruction. Energy supplies are collapsing, right in the middle of the sort of winter the Climate Cult assured us would never happen again, and the continent stands on the

This Looks Like Just the Job for the NACC

Australia got a brand-new National Anti-Corruption Commission, last Monday. And, by a strange coincidence, the very next day it had a tailor-made parliamentary financial scandal to look into. Handing out public money in breach of the rules fits the definition of a financial scandal. Which is allegedly

Are You Getting the Picture Yet, Sweetie?

New Zealanders are heartily sick of the mewling, whining, miserable visage of Jacinda Ardern. She has become the most despised person in New Zealand politics. Little wonder then that she is essentially signalling she will be campaigning from behind strong fences and a veritable army of security next year: One
