Things That Make Me Go Hmm

Voices For Freedom Telegram We wonder what would happen if they simply re-employed all the mandated staff unnecessarily fired for not taking the Covid-19 vaccine? It’s not as if it made any dent in the remaining staff NOT getting the virus. Perhaps it’s time for people

Boats and Climate: It’s 2007 Again

Have the wheels ever fallen off a government as fast as Albanese’s Labor? Well, possibly Julia Gillard’s: from the moment Gillard broke her clear promise, made the day before the 2010 election, not to introduce a carbon tax, her government was toast. All that was left to decide

Jacinda Ardern Is Trying to Make a Silk Purse Out of a Sow’s Ear

The Tauranga by-election was really about whether National’s majority reflected a return to near normality or could Labour prove its 2020 result was more than just a Covid one. The result reflected the former, as a 4% gap in 2020 was turned into a 42% gap last weekend.

The Next Labour Leader in Waiting?

Information Opinion The resident commies in the Beehive have decided to follow a playbook similar to the one Hillary Clinton followed in 2016, with predictable results. One suspects – knowing what 40-something women in senior jobs who know they’re seriously out of their depth are like – that ‘dissent’ or,

You Could Become an Instant Media Star

I’ve got a fair bit of respect for Sunny Kaushal. He may have been a Labour candidate in the past, but he was also one of the first people who reached out to me after I had my stroke, genuinely concerned about me, despite past political differences. That act

Pope Francis Hits the Mark for Once

Anyone who’s read me for any length of time is probably aware that Pope Francis is not exactly one of my favourite people. Like too many mainstream Christian figures, he’s a weak, wet, woke bandwagon-jumper on any fashionable lefty cause. But even a busted cuckoo clock can

One Thing We Do Well Is Bureaucracy: Part One

I have been a BNZ customer since the 1990s. We had a mortgage with them back then, and when I went into business in 2001 I set up a business account with them too. I set up a trust in 2006 to protect the family home, also with the BNZ.
