She demands loyalty, but it was her disloyalty to her former leader that was key in bringing about his downfall. Bridges was stabbed in the back by a pack of liberal leftists in the party who had undermined him for almost the whole two years of his leadership. Judith Collins was one of those leftists,…
The widespread use of the term “war on drugs’, usually followed by the claim that said war has failed, is in the main a piece of partisan propaganda. Usually used by (so called) Libertarians & other drug use advocates, its not really true, for there is no war on drugs in the West, there never…
New Zealand’s media is pretty much fully captured by the progressive left. Most political comment especially is delivered from this perspective, and as such political ideas have also infiltrated our science institutions, there exists a coalition between media and science that keeps the NZ public completely in the dark as to alternative views on scientific…
Sure, there is a problem with media bias in New Zealand. They’re mostly all a bunch of left wing/ progressive stooges. Have been for decades, as I’ve pointed out interminably myself. So what’s with all the recent whinging? National’s not getting a “fair go”? So what, they’ve never had a fair go. Worse, they’ve never…
Alinsky’s strategy is to turn every event to a political advantage, & that is what Antifa did with the death of George Floyd. Whereas the Black Lives Matter group exists as an organisation rooted in Cultural Marxism and Critical theory, there were people at their demonstrations who felt genuinely aggrieved by the circumstances of Floyd’s…
Lies everywhere. Like quicksand. We struggle to escape, but the mire just gets deeper, and we sink further into it. The truth is beyond reach, and any attempt to bring truth, or even to suggest there’s something not quite right, is met with thundering disapproval. It rains down in torrents on anyone who in the…
Sky News reported last night that the Black Lives Matter Group in Brisbane Qld couldn’t get to the demonstration, so they handed it over to the Australian Communist Party to organise. This change went unnoticed by the crowd, who gathered in Brisbane and gasped and applauded and cheered over the ghastly rhetoric pouring from the…
If by any kind of strange desire, you wish to see someone doing an imitation of a stick insect on speed, then you need to watch Jack Tame’s interview of Todd Muller on NZ Q and A last night. Tame asked some fairly simple questions of Muller, that he should have had ready answers for…
Simon Bridges was unpopular with the left, so in an example of either craven cowardice, or rank stupidity, the National Party did as the left wanted them to do so badly, and removed him as leader. Why did the left hate Simon Bridges? Because he was a fighter, and prepared to take it to the…
OK, so the left now fully control both major New Zealand parties. Labour, at least true to their principles, and the National Party, hopelessly infiltrated by the left and now, following the coup by Muller and Kaye, an opposition in name only. Not that it is really much of a loss, given the Nats have…
Polling to be released today or tomorrow is predicted to be bad news for the National Party and its leader Simon Bridges. Labour can be as joyful as they wish. The reality is that today’s poll doesn’t matter. Its the one held on election day that matters, and if Jacinda Ardern & Labour are still…
Otago Medical school took in 202 students this year. 120 places went to “special” categories for students whose backgrounds are rural, Pacific, Māori, low socioeconomic, or refugee. To be included in the remaining 82 non special places, students had to attain an exam score of 94%. The score for the special categories is not available…
There’s a question mark at the end of the title, because it just cannot be true that showing “hostility” is now regarded as a serious crime by NZ Police. They’ve stated so on their Facebook page, but that doesn’t mean its law. Here’s the text- New Zealand Police, and people in New Zealand, do not…
OK, so Auckland is a bogged down disaster. That’s plain and simple. What’s harder to understand is the inability of governments to understand why it is bogged down, and how to fix the problem. The Auckland Council is reported to have 400 planners on its staff. If this is so, then they should all have to…
The main reason people give for voting National is to keep Labour, who they see as so much worse, out of power. This reasoning doesn’t work anymore. Two recent actions by National emphasize why this is so. 1) Changes to the Resource Management Act that promote separatism. 2) The Harmful Digital Communications Act being used…
The NZ National party lost the battle of ideas decades ago. Its political strategy today is mostly a series of slow steady surrenders, one after the other after the other, to progressive ideology. Currently, the Nationals are all a tizz over the prospect of current Labour party leader Andrew Little losing his defamation case, being…
Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s pending visit to Australia and New Zealand has been cancelled. The reported reason is Ayaan is concerned for her safety. Ms Ali was due to speak in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland from Thursday to Sunday this week. The event was organised by Think Inc., a Sydney-based organisation that attempts to provoke…
