With apologies to Max Ehrmann, who wrote the original text in Desiderata in 1927, “whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the communist plan for New Zealand is unfolding as it should”. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the failure of law and order and the political perversion of the police, […]
If Jimmy Shaw suddenly became leader of National there would be an outcry from the party’s supporters. The man in the street supporter that is. The hard core of the party, the same people who have let it drift steadily left for forty years, would probably be flat out on Kiwiblog and other social media […]
If you’re a believer in reason, you would no doubt be left speechless by the torrent of nonsense that is the accepted public discourse today. The term “speechless” is chosen specifically here. What does one say that can have any impact upon the overwhelming onslaught of Alice in Wonderland style absurdity that is currently being […]

While you may be correct (I’m not sure about Abbott) I keep thinking part of the problem is that most politicians are just so stupid they trip over themselves and lose their way at the smallest opportunity. An example is UKIP’s new poster boy who has wrecked much of the good work Farage did by being or acting like an idiot. What is wrong with these people who want to govern in that they have no idea how to keep their noses clean? Its darned depressing.

Yes it is depressing for Australasia that we have two dripping wet socialist prime ministers who really do not deserve to be there.
The thing is Abbott and Hockey were actually hitting the targets that they had set themselves when they were knifed in the back. It was a scum media party beat up and gutless wimps that got Turnbull over the line.
An Abbott government working towards emulating the anti globalist policies of a Trump administration would have been much better for all of us. Now that Trump is there he makes Abbott look substandard though I have to say.
Turnbull does not stand for anything conservative, let alone the policies Trump is moving to implement so he has to go. The media want him there because he is just like Shorten, so they won’t be pushing for Abbott or anyone conservative.

Abbott mightn’t be as dynamic as Trump but by gee he achieved a lot while in power, with no recognition, just people like Savva and Marr bagging him completely. Turnbull is a nothing just there for prestige and power. Abbott loves his Country and was fighting for it and still is. Turnbull ignores Australians in favour of Moslems and panders to them while also throwing our tax money at them, despite so many Aussies needing help. Shame on you Turnbull, it’s past time for you to go before you do any more damage to Australia.

This is getting serious. Frydenberg may be a good bloke, but the emerging high cost energy policy will destroy industries and our kids futures.
Corey seems to be making headway, why not a new coalition of Nationals, Conservatives and those Liberals who are opppsed to the “moderates” policy?
Should at the very least gain control of the senate without the influence of greens or independents like Lambie and Hinch.

Can you please do a list of who voted for Abbott and who voted for Turnbull in the 2009 leadership spill as Abbott only won by one vote. Also the results of the 2008 spill will be interesting because I believe if the Liberals stayed with Nelson then we will not be in mess that we are in today.

Any chance you can rearrange the cephalopods above into their respective states? Makes it easier for people to see the morons that got ticketed in.
