I see that Mr Key has been complaining to anyone who will listen about how hard done by he is, and that nobody understands any more. Well let me remind you, John Key, that you didn’t become Prime Minister by accident. You made a lifestyle choice and now you have to live with it, and if you don’t…
An emergency quarantine zone has been established around the Beehive building in Wellington, after reports of senior government ministers inexplicably falling ill. A civil emergency has now been declared in Wellington, and health officials have been meeting under urgency to consider how to address the situation. The crisis became apparent after a government minister began to behave in…
Everyone’s favourite authoritarian libertarian is back. The French have this week again made us wonder why we bothered to liberate them in 1944. They have elected a socialist President, and it seems now that they don’t want to take their much-needed austerity medicine. When I think of all the sacrifices past generations have made in…
Acclaimed Papakura lawyer Harry Hindenberg proposes a defence for John Banks If there was ever a time when John Banks needed a good lawyer, now is the time.

National Party leader John Key has angrily denied that his leadership is in trouble. Rumours that his deputy, Bill English, may be planning to oust him, have been doing the rounds in Wellington in recent days. But both John Key and Bill English say there is no plot, and that claims of a potential challenge…
A bitter fight has erupted within the ACT Party over the decision by leader John Banks to vote against keeping the alcohol purchasing age at 18. The move by Banks to support measures to further control the supply of liquor has some party strategists worried. They are concerned that an increasingly sober populace in control…
On Kiwiblog David Farrar demands that attention be paid to what David Parker said about Mexico. Because pointing out the bleeding obvious about Mexico (a low wage economy where thousands of US jobs have been exported over the years by companies looking to cut costs) is exactly like a Minister of the Crown saying Finland “has worse…
A guest post by John Key. If you’ve been following the news you’ll know that the Government has agreed to allow Sky City to install up to 500 additional gaming machines, in return for the casino building a new convention centre. I wanted to write to explain why we made the deal, because I’ve been…
