No-One Freely Chose to Take This Vaccine

No-One Freely Chose to Take This Vaccine

‘No One Marched When I Was Elected’

As we all know, Jacinda wasn’t elected in 2017. Labour got fewer votes than National but the party with 7%, led by Winston Peters, decided to form a government with Labour with the Greens in support, but not as a part of the government. If only the Greens had

They Have Paid a Heavy Price

Here are three photos of the people who lost their jobs because they would not have the vaccine. They are standing on the steps of the Tauranga Memorial at yesterdays protest. My EX-teacher friend sent me these yesterday afternoon. She found it very moving! The numbers are distressing. You

First Dan, Then Dom Caves

Well, it’s certainly been a tumultuous few days in Australian pandemic politics. At the start of the week, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews was all-but-guaranteed to pass his pandemic bill, described by that state’s Bar Association as “a blank cheque to rule by decree”. At the same

So Much for Our Inalienable Rights

So Much for Our Inalienable Rights

As I noted, some months ago, the very fact that politicians can brag about “freedom incentives” proves that we are not free. When politicians openly talk of “granting limited freedoms”, it is as clear an admission as any that we are not free. In fact, politicians are tacitly admitting that

It’s Not Pretty outside the Echo Chamber

It’s Not Pretty outside the Echo Chamber

Darryl Betts Comparing notes with like-minded people is comforting but I worry that it is unlikely to have a significant impact on the great echo chamber encompassing the New Zealand government, mainstream media, and many of my fellow Kiwis. So I bravely journeyed into what feels very much like

High Time Auckland Became a State

High Time Auckland Became a State

If there’s one thing Covid has increasingly illustrated it is how different Auckland is to the rest of the country. Without wishing to be insulting to those outside of Auckland they could probably be best described as our country cousins. This was very apparent in the current lockdown. Most

Letter to the Editor: Grant Robertson the Glib

Dear Editor Are we really supposed to believe that Grant Robertson was not previously aware and had to be told, upon condescendingly visiting the exiled Auckland kingdom, that hair salons could not open but beauty therapists could; that these locked down hairdressers were suffering, being forced out of business or
