The Reserve Bank’s decision to increase the Official Cash Rate by 50 basis points today means yet more pain for anyone with a mortgage. Not since the dawn of the OCR have New Zealanders experienced such a relentlessly steep climb in interest rates. A 50 basis points rise is
The Police seem to have developed a systemic proclivity for breaking the law. The latest episode has seen them busted for illegally pretending to be window washers so they can give tickets to people at intersections for using cell phones. And they wonder why we don’t trust them: Police
National Party leader Christopher Luxon has defended National’s tax-cut policy while fighting back claims the plan could be a financial disaster. It comes after UK Prime Minister Liz Truss was forced to U-turn scrapping the top rate of tax after the announcement caused turmoil on the financial

The police are supposed to be the thin blue line that stands between law-abiding citizens and criminal anarchy. In Australia, though, it’s become the thin blue protection racket standing between the Establishment Left and anyone who dares challenge them. In Wellington, too, police filmed themselves exchanging triumphant high-

Elon Musk has been copping a lot of flak, the last few days, for suggesting a brokered peace deal in Ukraine. Which is a bit odd, really: because brokered peace is almost always how modern wars end. It’s almost as if a great many people want the war to
Australia clearly doesn’t have enough jihadis — because the Albanese government seems pretty keen to import more. One of Anthony Albanese’s first virtue-signals after his 32% election win was granting permanent residence to a confessed former member of the Tamil Tiger terrorist group who’d entered Australia illegally
STEPHEN BERRY’S GUIDE TO THE 2022 AUCKLAND LOCAL ELECTION VOTING GUIDES “They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and, following the Absolutely Biased Guide to the Auckland Local Elections 2019, there are plenty of imitations popping up on the internet in 2022,” says political commentator and 2013

They say you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep. Not just personally, but ideologically. Jacinda Ardern’s political pals and ideological fellow-travellers tell us everything we need to know. Ardern is great chums with Canada’s smirking, dim-witted authoritarian, Justin Trudeau. Needless
With all of the terrible things this Labour Government is guilty of – corruption in its ranks, dividing the country along racial lines, confiscating public assets, to name but a few – one thing no one seems to mention much is their disgraceful attitude to money. Not just any money, but taxpayers’
Sir Bob Jones nopunchespulled.com As one of the largest Auckland and Wellington ratepayers (over $5m annually in Auckland and $6m in Wellington) common-sense says it would save everyone a lot of trouble if instead of bothering the public, I chose the mayor and councillors. But far from that,
