Labour leader Phil Goff today stunned the political world when it was revealed that he has an identical twin brother. Goff’s twin brother, Norman, appeared at the side of the Labour leader during an event marking the opening of the new toilet block at Rangitoto College in Auckland today. Norman Goff’s appearance caused intense confusion…
The NZ Herald appears to be insinuating that lawyers should not be entitled to receive preferential treatment when it comes to our drink driving laws. I am outraged. Outraged! I don’t like what the paper’s trying to suggest. Lawyers are central to the development and drafting of law. So it makes perfect sense for us to…
MP Dwayne Baker admitted today that he is the Labour politician under investigation by police. The police investigation concerns a number of allegations made by an 18 year old man.

Officials have been struggling to take the heat out of media reporting of the event, but a number of journalistic explosions have made their task particularly challenging. The rampant newspaper and…
I’ve always admired the British royal family. Next to the Tiger Tank, they’re probably the finest thing to come out of Germany. I especially like that young Prince fellow they’ve sent over here. The Prince is down to earth and humble. He stood before the people of Christchurch and said “I count myself extremely privileged”.…
I’ve always said that the UK has the best newspapers in the world. For example, the Guardian has reported on some very important medical research.
