This turkey is struggling cooped up in a bubble
Kiwis rejoice and turkeys run! National has come up with a cunning plan of 10 bullet points, no less, to dish up Turkey-19 this Christmas. No doubt, the Government doesn’t want to be outdone and may throw in catered self-isolation at home for all those…

Smug hermit king
John Key is doubling down. You have to wonder that the game plan is here. National has its big Covid policy announcement this week and Key going early will not only invite comparisons to see if there are differences between his musings and the party's…

Fearmongering or telling it how it is?
About those numbers. They’re obviously very wrong, aren’t they? We all know that the truth hurts but when it is this uncomfortable and painful we simply decide it stops being the truth. There are words to describe and name this kind of decision making. It…
