The new Race Relations Commissioner has announced he will no longer investigate complaints of racism from minority groups. The new Commissioner, Walter Krank, took up the role last week, after the tragic disappearance of the previous officeholder in a hot air ballooning mishap. Mr Krank announced the decision at a press conference yesterday. “There’s no…
They led me into a spacious room. It was dimly lit, but even in the shadows I could detect the presence of others – yet more of them in those standout orange overalls, just like the two who guided me in. I guessed they were armed, and that they were highly trained. It would not…
The Whanau Ora Taskforce Report, which sets out options for improving social, education and other support services for families across New Zealand, has been welcomed by the Government. “I have no idea what this jolly Whanau Ora thing is all about, but it makes Tariana happy,” said acting Prime Minister Bill English.

More good sense from our conservative contributor Dr. Frank Shizenhausen I have always admired the American approach to law and order. They sure understand how to deal with scumbags in the US.

More Big Thinking from the Prime Minister When I came to office I promised big things. I’m not ashamed to say I’m ambitious for this country and its people. That’s why when National came to power in 2008 we told officials they had to go back to the drawing board, sharpen their pencils, think outside…
This story on Stuff has given me an idea. Russia’s president thought the country had too much time on its hands, so on Sunday he eliminated two of its 11 time zones. The changes mean that Chukotka – Russia’s eastern extreme, just across the Bering Strait from Alaska – is now nine hours ahead of…
