Would anyone but the most hardened cynic think the reason Jacinda Ardern fronts almost every press conference on the Covid-19 “crisis” is because she wants to smokescreen her govt’s abject failure in almost every other area of policy? Could the NZ PM possibly be the kind of depraved narcissistic opportunist who would seize upon a fatal disease to bring herself

Pauline Hanson is as usual being roundly abused for expressing a viewpoint unpopular with the would be ruling class of SJWs, race baiters and other such mentally defective rabble as make up the left wing of politics today. She has said Australians should not accept Afghan refugees into their country. To be more accurate, Ms Hanson is really confronting the

The National Party may wish for unity under Judith Collins, but it will only be a wish while MPs are as openly defiant as Erica Stanford was this morning. Whereas dissent may be fine within caucus, it is a massive lack of judgment to express it in public and especially during an appearance on a hostile network such as Newshub.

What’s to be done about refugees who come to New Zealand to escape totalitarian regimes and then cheer for the same totalitarian style of govt here? Should they be required to undergo cultural courses that impress upon them the need to support the traditions that underpin the foundations of our free society? Such as free speech, or more precisely, freedom

Labour are determined to fashion New Zealand’s political debate. The left and their media soldiers want us to talk about only those things they deem as worthy of discussion. What this is in actuality is an instruction. They are saying “Shut up! We will tell you what is important”. TV One is Labour’s most effective propaganda outlet, and while the

Those of us who know the National Party weren’t disappointed at the outcomes of last weekend’s conference. Ms Collins say it was a success because they appointed three new board members and she received 20 standing ovations during her closing speech, and sure, that’s success by some measures. However a crucial issue appears to be unresolved and that is the

Not much change will occur at this weekend’s National Party conference. Even though the Nats have lost two elections in a row now, only a few understand why, and most of them do not. The real point about the Nationals is that even when they win elections they lose, and this is why the country has plunged headlong into the

If socialist Princess Jacinda Ardern and the wokest Police Commissioner ever Andrew Coster and bumbling idiot Police Minister Poto Williams all agree that police should not be armed, then its obviously the wrong decision. Sure, it would be excellent if Police did not have to be armed. As has been the case for decades. However as the progressives keep telling

Judith Collins appeared in on Newstalk ZB Radio this morning with John MacDonald, an announcer many may not be familiar with as he is apparently filling in for someone else. Listeners have described the interview as “fiery”. In terms of the flaccid presentation of most NZ radio and TV perhaps it was. (listen to audio below) If you were piqued

At a meeting two days ago with constituents, National MP Stuart Smith received some harsh criticism over his party’s weakness in succumbing to the climate change scam. One man, in a welcome indication that not all NZers are anxiety ridden poorly educated well brainwashed products of a decrepit socialist controlled school system, voiced the following heretical viewpoint- “How can you

Mr Seymour may be the flavour of the month to a lot of disillusioned National Party supporters, but there’s always been a question over his real commitment to liberty. Surely he should support the people having a voice on the changing of this country’s name. However it appears he does not. The Labour govt has entered into a covert deal

Faafoi won’t talk about hate speech since his last interview a month ago where he made it clear he was completely clueless on steering the law into legislation. He’s gone to ground, and with similar silence from just about everyone else in govt, its clear the decision is to hand the problem to uniformed police. So this barbarian legislation will

New Zealand media would deny allegations of green left bias, but the evidence is overwhelming. For example, when renewable energy is such a hot topic right now, a search of NZ news shows no mention of a major battery fire occurring at a Tesla power project in Australia. The event was reported on numerous sites overseas but apparently ignored in

Jacinda Ardern should apologise to the Pacifica community again, for using them to massage the news cycle. Ms Ardern’s apology on Sunday was designed only to distract public attention from her very bad results in this weekend’s Reid Research poll, where the Labour party dropped 10%. The main business of govt for Jacinda Ardern is massaging the media. Ardern has

Can those of us who are anti-left take any hope from recent polling? The answer has to be yes, for with a 10% drop for Labour, it exposes a definite chink in the armour of Ardern and her media army. However the major part of the polling still shows an irrational degree of support. Sad when its a govt that

Climate Change research in elite American universities is being funded by Communist China. If we had a real media in New Zealand, it is certain we would know this was also a major problem here. Communist journalists working for Stuff and Newshub and TV One and the Herald and Radio NZ are all happy to push lie after lie on

The West have persistently voted soft weak globalist liberals into power, and the latest example is New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern, who has just made a major concession to Jihadi terror. Not only has Ardern allowed the traitor Suhaya Aden back into New Zealand, her officials have already said a proposed “investigation” will not result in any charges. NZ’s media is

The New Zealand media has published a number of articles to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the cancellation of the Springbok rugby match in Hamilton, and later the end of apartheid in South Africa. In terms of democracy, one man one vote is the standard, and leaving side those born in the country, if you allow a man to enter

“He Puapua” is the document outlining the plan to make all NZers submit to governance by a few radical separatists claiming to represent Maori. The Ardern govt claims it is only a discussion document, but this is obviously false, as the scheme to reform the country’s water system is clearly patterned on the plan. The water reform plan would have

Stuff’s begging message says you should support them because they “stick up for the little guy”. This is perhaps their biggest lie. As their senior writer Andrea Vance’s articles so often prove, Stuff is always for the big money big govt big regulatory forces that are bearing down on the little guy. The forces that the little guys who took

A commenter on the BFD related an interesting story this morning about an old colleague of his who slavishly supported Jacinda Ardern. His one time colleague (let’s call him Bill) watches the TV One 6 o clock news and his opinions are- Ardern is wonderful and he wants her and Labour to remain as PM “forever” She has saved 88000

Its a simple question and the media have made half hearted attempts at answering it, but the root cause for some reason escapes their eagle eye. The most common answer, and the one National’s shadow housing spokeswoman Nicola Willis gives is that there is a “shortage of housing”. There has been a shortage of housing for about a decade or

New Zealand bears the embarrassment of owning the first team to “take the knee” at the Tokyo Olympics. The women’s soccer team did so before their match against Australia. A match NZ lost two goals to one. NZ’s goal scorer Gabi Rennie was asked by NewstalkZB’s Heather Du Plessis-Allan why her team took the knee. Ms Rennie’s answer was garbled

New Zealand should have been alerted during the 2017 election campaign when budding Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern made the preposterous statement “I do believe it is possible to exist in politics without lying”. She then went on to claim she had never told a lie (in politics). In reality, lying in politics today is endemic. As Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

The only sure way to stop escalating crime and violence in New Zealand is to build a time machine. Go back about fifty years and stop the seeds that were planted then that have taken root and produced the problems we have today. Unless we want to get really tough, but we don’t of course. if a political party stood
