Aussie Media Lifts the Lid on Ardern

By and large, the Australian legacy media are almost wholly ignorant of New Zealand politics. That ignorance makes them natural Jacinda Ardern fans. Literally all they know about the NZ PM is that she had a baby, hugs people and talks about “kindness” a lot. Even the most basic details

Hiding from the Truth Isn’t Helping

We live in a time of universal deceit. The media lie. The government lie. The public service lie. Academics lie. We are bombarded, day and night, by a constant litany of lies. Such a state is clearly not conducive to a well-functioning society. Which may well be the point:

Temporary Australian Prime Minister Albo had to wait over 26 years to reach the top; John Howard and Paul Keating 22 years and Harold Holt over 30 years! In this country, Sir Keith had to wait 25 years, English 26 years and Bolger and Clark 18 years. All seems quite

Take a Concrete Pill to Harden Your Heart

Have you wondered how MPs harden their hearts against the obvious plight of the poor, the needy people whose lives they promised to improve when we gave them a shot at government? They got that opportunity and the results are in: the poor are worse off after fuel and cost
