The latest NZ political poll confirms what any astute observer has known for some time. Christopher Luxon is a dud. He is Todd Muller all over again, and the National Party cannot attract widespread support while it is in the hands of people too timid to present themselves as anything much different to the insufferable […]
After a strangely intense speech in parliament two weeks ago, National’s deputy leader Nicola Willis is being heralded as the next big thing. She is even being compared to the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher. They’re not alike at all. Thatcher was a Conservative who intensely disliked feminists. Willis is a feminist and a Progressive. “The […]
New Zealand today is a Stasi like police state where citizens who oppose the views of the liberal progressive govt of Jacinda Ardern are intimidated, marginalised and silenced by the combined forces of the Police, the Media and Academia. Last week, “unapproved” journalist Avi Yemini was barred from entering NZ. Mr Yemini works for Rebel […]

Good article and discussion in Quadrant about outrageous bias of Australian broadcaster ABC. Author James Allen.
More of Mark Scott? Surely Not
Could it be that Tony Abbott’s cabinet is infested with closet masochists, the sort who enjoy being beaten up by the national broadcaster its current managing director has so steadfastly refused to reform? It is the only way to explain this talk of extending his contract.
Let me be blunt. If this Coalition government extends Mark Scott’s term as the ABC’s managing director for a year, or even for two minutes, then I will not vote for them, no matter how awful the alternative. Spoiled ballot here I come.

RB, FYI on Allen West. Because of you fondness you’ve expressed for him, I’m not sure how you will look at it. For me, this is not the first time Col West has displayed judgment I find worse than merely disappointing.

No, I’d missed it. I’d not even caught wind of that story. Thanks.
Now I don’t feel too badly about providing you with some of the warning signs.
I’d already written him off because when he was in a position to take an important leadership stand, he folded, and in a way that left me thinking “this man is in the tank or far more gullible than he has a right to be given the promise we invested in him.” Here’s the link with the video of the man explaining his cave: Allen West: ‘Screw the TEA Party; Save the GOP’.
And here is an even early caveat that, in a way, proves that having a somewhat jaundiced eye helps stave off possible disappointment and, worse, total disgust with the process.
Please inform me via email if I chose correctly in not showing you these sooner.
