Sexual harassment is unsettling, distressing at times and demeaning. My generation had no choice but put up with it. We should have had avenues available where we could safely report it but we didn’t. The better part of valour was to stay quiet because we …

If Hager wanted to get the book out before the election, he could have had it ready six months earlier… That would have defeated his purpose. He wanted it to coincide with the start of the campaign because he believes it is a political matter and needs …

Of course you won’t be reading it. You don’t want your rigid view-point to be upended with a few truths. Sure, its impossible to write a book on topics such as those of Nicky Hager’s without committing the odd error, but he has consistently been proven …

So far as I’m aware, none of the sources have been named – it’s all anonymous. Well of course they are. When you’re dealing with questionable people who have a degree of power and money and are known to have shady contacts, then you have no choice but to …

“Bola was climate change too, I suppose? That comment suggests you don’t fully understand the term. It isn’t a weather system in itself. It is basically a change in the normal atmospheric temperature patterns across the globe spurred on by increasing CO2 …

Talking of a “walking symbol of the modern Labour party”. I was unimpressed with Labour’s Jan Luxton on yesterday’s Q&A. She refused to answer most questions on the grounds that Labour had not revealed its rural/ farming policies. Not surprisingly her …

Imo, that is because they choose most of their candidates based on surface impression and not on the substance – or more correctly the lack of it – which lies behind it.

I realized overnight that we’ve all been spared the Christmas Day photo of Erica Stanford in her shorty pyjamas, surrounded by hubby and kids also in shortie pyjamas , watching a shallow Hugh Grant movie. FIFU

You beat me to it. Love that the five villains includes Mark Mitchell. Cannot stand the man. Doubt Hooton will be getting a National Party Xmas Card this year.
