Just to brighten your weekend, mostly by showing you that, however bad things are in Wellington, they could always be worse. BFD readers, please enjoy all the antics, japes, capers and pratfalls of politics, Canberra style. First off, PM Anthony Albanese is doing what he does best: skiving off and
You know, most of us grow out of the “Give me what I want or I’ll hold my breath till I die!” gambit by the time we’re about four. But not the fagscisti. The Waffen-SSM are tanty-throwers extraordinaire, who use infantile emotional blackmail to get their

I’ve been watching some of our commenters torturing themselves over the last couple of days over two of my articles and one of JC’s. I’ve been shaking my head with increasing incredulity that some of you come here for my sage opinions but then irrationally think you
