A previous column looked at Winston Peters biographically. This one takes a closer look at his record as a minister, especially his policy record. Brian Easton writes – 1990-1991: Minister of Māori Affairs. Few remember Ka Awatea as a major document on the future of Māori policy; there is not even an entry in Wikipedia. The impression […]

leftist ugly shriveled autistic cult leader who turns out to be a raving Anti- Semite. Why am I not surprised? Two years ago the idiot Anglican Dean of Bunbury Cathedral used a video address by her as a sermon. I no longer attend.

‘Dear friend, of course I remember. Wasn’t it just yesterday? Yesterday, but a century ago. In this city, but on a planet that is now far away. How all these things get confused: times, places, the world broken in pieces, not to be glued back together. Only the memory…’ (T.K.-B., a former courtier in the […]

Like most people, I was getting heartily sick of all the time being wasted over the coalition negotiations. During the first three weeks Winston grinned like a Cheshire cat, certain he’d be needed; Chris Luxon wasted time in lifting the phone to Winston and, still in campaign mode, visited the Chelsea Sugar Works rather than…

Coleman Hughes has published this piece in two places: on his own Substack site, and at the Free Press. Since I first noticed it at the latter site, I’ll put the screenshot for the FP version below (click it to read), but you can also access it on his own site here (be sure to […]

By Paul Homewood There’s one more thing to note about this announcement: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/boost-for-offshore-wind-as-government-raises-maximum-prices-in-renewable-energy-auction As well as the massive price rises for offshore wind, prices have also been increased for solar power:

When might it occur to politicians, German or not, that endless subsidies to feed their own climate obsessions either come out of the same pot as the rest of their government’s income, or by pumping up national debt – or both? Looks like a road to nowhere, or nowhere good. – – – As Germany […]

A hugely significant gain for ACT is somewhat camouflaged by legislative jargon. Under the heading ‘Oranga Tamariki’ ACT’s coalition agreement contains the following item: • Remove Section 7AA from the Oranga Tamariki Act 1989 According to Oranga Tamariki: “Section 7AA is our practical commitment to the principles of the Te Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi.”…

With President Milei’s election in Argentina, dollarization is suddenly on the table. I’m for it. Here’s why. Why not? A standard of valueStart with “why not?” Dollarization, not a national currency, is actually a sensible default. The dollar is the US standard of value. We measure length in feet, weight in pounds, and the value of…

Given the choice, power consumers would have rejected the wind and solar transition and the net-zero CO2 madness that underpins it, from the outset. At the heart of their new-found and growing hostility is the question of who benefits? And who pays? Having been repeatedly pounded with off-the-charts electricity bills, the great unwashed are starting […]

This month, the Coolidge Reagan Foundation has called upon the Michigan bar to investigate and sanction Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., over her comments on Gaza and Israel. While I have been critical of Tlaib over her rhetoric and claims on the Hamas attack and later war, I believe that such sanctions would be inimical to […]

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism.

We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
