This question has been troubling me for days. Let’s examine the evidence: Jesus rose from the dead after being crucified. Brash has returned from political oblivion after being crucified in the media over his secret links to religious and business groups. When Jesus came into this world three wise men visited him. When Brash came…
Political strategist Dick Fritter has seen it all. A self-proclaimed politics tragic, he has worked with just about everyone, from Rob Muldoon to Osama bin Laden. Fritter’s biographer, Michael Bassett, has described the master strategist as a “hard drinking, hard living, hard loving man who can sniff out any scandal and manage any crisis.” His most…
Some people have asked me what I am doing tomorrow. There has been a great deal of speculation about what I will be doing in Wellington. I think it’s time I set the record straight. It has never been this blogger’s practice to talk publicly about his comings and going, and I do not believe…
Great news, everyone: this year we get two World IP Days! The first was on 26 April, but because that day coincided with Australia’s Anzac holiday (wouldn’t it be nice if we could enjoy such a thing?), Australia and New Zealand get to party it up today too! So enjoy your day. But before you…
I can’t believe how stupid the US have been. They’re crowing this week because they killed Osama bin Laden. Or at least they think they have. But where’s the proof?

One Law Commission insider has confirmed…
The head has been cut off one of the most insidious organisations in existence. The operation was surgical, precise and brutal, and it took almost everyone by surprise. But what does it mean in practical terms? While admired in some sections of society, the group’s leader had become something of an irrelevancy and a bogeyman,…
Dear God, I’m new around here, so I don’t know what the proper process is to lodge a complaint. But I’m used to having a direct line to you, so I’m not interested in dealing with some customer services person, nor am I prepared to go through a call centre in the Philippines. That’s why…
Hard-hitting conservative columnist Dr Frank Shizenhausen has some tough medicine I had a dream last night that left me shaken. I was minding my own business in my own home when I heard a knock on the door. Standing there were two gentlemen. I asked them what they wanted and they said they were here…
Dear William and Kate As you prepare for what will be the biggest day of your lives, you will no doubt be feeling trepidation and wondering what lies before you on the road you have chosen to tread together. You will have been receiving a lot of advice from friends and family about what makes…
