Ahhh, politics! You are just getting some control of the political debate with the opposition making spoilsport Karl Marx mouthings that are playing your way, when, BANG, some complete drunken ass commits an utterly pointless and stupid mess right on your front doorstep. No wonder John Key always looks tired and harassed when on camera [...]
It is now more than 24 hours since David Shearer became the New Leader of the Labour party and, possibly, the opposition. I have been racking my brains to try and say anything about him. Good, bad, funny, witty. ANYTHING. Goodness, I thought Invisible Phil was hard work but at least he stuck his head [...]
So that was the New Zealand elections. Excuse me while I yawn. While the pundits will all be gasping with shock and horror at the “sudden” rise of New Zealand First (The Winston Peters Party), there should be no surprise at that result. The history of MMP is that small parties in coalition government take [...]
Once again the Herald shows us the ignorant nature of it’s headline makers: Key: We can’t help your price pain That is NOT what Key said at all. What he said was: “Like everyone else, we’re frustrated by higher petrol prices,” Mr Key said. “It’s just a fact we have to live with at the [...]

John Key once surmised that Phil Goff was using the pixies at the bottom of his garden to finance his promises. However, [...]
John Key: We will spend less of your money and pay off debt with asset sales… Phil Goff: We will spend more of your money – even if you don’t have it – and increase debt due to clueless accounting… Phil Goff: Still Digging After All These Years Keep on digging, Phil… Add a Comment
Congratulations to Helen Kelly, Actor’s Equity and MEAA for managing to seriously damage the NZ film industry and scare away the financiers of the Hobbit with their ham-fisted, bully-boy union tactics. Nicely done. I particularly like the way you ignored the “collective” part of collective bargaining by failing to consult your members and the “bargaining” [...]
Do politicians take the hypocritic oath when they are sworn in? Phil (Walking in Her Footsteps) Goff reached new heights of hypocrisy as he baited John Key today with readings from the ministerial manual: Opposition leader Phil Goff used the rules of the Cabinet Manual to attack Mr Key in the House yesterday about his [...]
