James Casson is a Hamilton City councillor. He thinks refugees are scum and we should quit mourning those killed in the Christchurch terror attack. This former copper (second from left) is an idiot, obviously. When one of the most conservative organisations in NZ reckons you're…

This post is a place for positive discussion of the future. An Open Mike for ideas, solutions and the discussion of the possible. The Big Picture, rather than a snapshot of the day’s goings on. Topics rather than topical. We’d like to think it’s…

Who can think about the most insensitive thing someone could do right now in Aotearoa New Zealand? How about run a petition AGAINST the banning of military style semi automatic weapons? Well I can go one further. How about having sold the weapons to the…

It’s not enough to challenge racism as though it’s the cause of Christchurch’s Mosque massacre and many experts agree that the growing white supremacist movement is yet another symptom of the male identity crisis. The devastating reality is that we ignored the signs that our…

Watching from the opposite side of the world it is hard to imagine how badly the Conservative Party has handled it. I mean we are days away from the end and the UK now relies on the whim of shifting temporary alliances to determine how…

I have a really soft spot for the Green Party. If it was not for tribal hard wiring of my genetic makeup I could quite possibly be a member of the Green Party. Their analysis of the environmental catastrophe that we are facing and their…

In September last year, Prime Minister Ardern appeared in the United Nations with her new baby. It was a strong symbol, but it's one that hasn’t been converted through New Zealand’s attitude to foreign development in the Pacific. Symbols need to be backed up with…

The Free Speech coalition has a somewhat checkered history. It was formed to support a couple of low class fascists coming to New Zealand and insulting multiculturalism for clicks and profit. The really upsetting thing about the fascists was that it seemed questionable that they…
