You have to hand it to National. They have no scruples. Nothing matters but winning. As a recent social media post confirms. Yesterday National's social media team posted this tweet: https://twitter.com/NZNationalParty/status/1298088604258902016 But the tweet left out important context provided in the answer: ... day 3…

The Trump administration has declared war on China, and there is much speculation in the punditry as to whether or not this is a new Cold War similar to that waged post World War 2 against Russia. In my opinion, the 19th century Opium Wars…

There is an interesting case being heard right now in the High Court in Wellington. Andrew Geddis in the Spinoff has the details. Is there any good reason to let 18-year-old people vote, but not those who are 16 or 17 years old? That’s the…

This article popped up in the Herald this morning. The first thing that I noticed was that it was sponsored content. The subject seemed slightly weird for sponsored content. Usually you expect to read industry specific news. But this one decided to delve into the…

Dear reader. Feel, thanks to the catastrophisation of New Zealand's quarantine system by National and parts of the media, that we are living in a cluster f&%k? This is even though the indications are that the large cluster that may have formed appears to have…

The Resistance Coalition Government has failed miserably and is falling to pieces and the Empire is taking advantage of the shambolic situation and is striking back. Princess Jacinda is under threat and Ashley Skywalker is fighting off attempts to make him appear before the Eye-Browed…

It has been an interesting week in Aotearoean politics. Instead of smashing through a political advantage Jacinda Ardern chose to delay the election for a month. Judith Collins and the National Party were given a breather to actually come out with some policy and to…

For some reason yesterday I thought of the Green Party's Policy Costings Unit idea, where political parties could get their policies costed by Treasury and then the results are made available to the public when the policy is launched. This was Green Party policy going…

Mr Borrowdale has succeeded in part and the High Court has ruled that the first 9 days, from March 26 to April 3, elements of the Government's Covid lockdown were unenforcable. I am not surprised. Based on this opinion given by Andrew Geddis I said…

Inasmuch as tiny, distant New Zealand need worry about the foreign policy of the United States, it’s worth a drill into what a Democratic Party dominated United States foreign policy might look like. If elected, Joe Biden will inherit a United States that has abdicated…
