Interesting on the current Police crisis. Had dealings with Paul Basham years ago and I believed he was there for Basham and politically sycophantc Surprised he kept being promoted.

International Cricket should be held in Masterton. Balmy weather, great facilities and supportive crowd. The country would see Cricket, not rain.

The government has given Auckland $70 million of taxpayers money to hold concerts at Eden Park while canceling jobseeker benefits for young adults at a saving of $40 million annually. Am I missing something?

The PM's told me we should be proud NZ isn't recognizing Palestine and that NZ has an independent foreign policy. Someone in Cabinet needs to check his medication.

Australia, Canada, France, the UK and many others have the moral high ground on Palestine. NZ' position is in the gutter .

The NZ position on the Palestinian State is immoral and reeks of political sycophantsy.

I believe the Trump panadol autism statement was just a soften up for his next big medical announcement. That his mother was a Virginia

Is the government seriously suggesting that Cabinet hasn't made a decision on Palestine, that they're letting Winston decide on the fly. That international soap boxes are more important than NZ voters.

Police action and reaction to the Stephen's killing shows, without doubt that the Force as an entity should never be armed.

The USA bombing of Iran was self defence and we endorsed that. How crazy and irrational can you get?

Trump alleges genocide in South Africa. He's promoting it in Gaza.

Just saw the best Rugby game of the season. Black Ferns vs Canada. Hard, fast, skillful and superbly reffed. Credit to all 31 on field. Guys could learn a lot.

Today the government gave the film industry a $500 million handout while gutting agriculture research. Putting today's glitz ahead of our future prosperity.

Just figured. The previous school lunches only cost as much as the cancelled ferries. Kids received food, taxpayers got nothing.

The obscene fashion wastage at the Oscars make burping and farting NZ cows look environmentally responsible.

John Allen as Ombudsman. Surely not. Peter Boshier was a highly respected Judge.

I imagine that James Meager, as Minister for the South Island will be committed to restoring the ferries and associated infrastructure. That's the best thing the government could do for the Mainland.

Current crisis with the weather and aged ferry's highlights Nicola Willis idiotic decision to cancel the custom built fixed price contract for new boats. Considerably relieved Winston Peters is now in charge.

I've just figured. If Trump drinks a dozen cans of diet coke a day and eats McDonalds and Kentucky Fried it is no wonder he is just piss and wind!
