New leader pledges to win back National Party’s culture wars deserters Christopher Luxon’s declaration in his leadership acceptance speech that he intends to return to the National Party fold precisely 413,000 absconding devotees rates as the most candid party political disclosure in memory. This is because the majority of people in the politico-media sphere know exactly who these disaffected voters are. They are middle class well-to-do females living in the nicer suburbs of the main urban centres. They deserted the National Party because National itself became a casualty of the culture wars, overwhelmed even. This entire disaffected segment of the…

Cultural truths from USA via UK all enforced Down Under No question quite so absorbs conservative and establishment category gatherings in places such as Sydney, Adelaide, Auckland, and Wellington as this one. Why do the newspapers and broadcasting channels all share identical points of view? The reason for this singularity of community of interest is usually attributed to the self-selection of the people involved in putting out newspapers and broadcasts. This blends with a corresponding uniformity of background. The provenance of these individuals tends to be the same. They are all from urban and privileged backgrounds. Another factor underpinning this…

New Hebrides Dual Systems era recalled as race-based separatism evolves in Aotearoa Unbeknownst to most of its inhabitants an Oceania nation is transforming itself into the world’s newest condominium a rare form of governance in which sovereignty is shared by two legally defined categories. In New Zealand’s case the two categories are Maori and non-Maori. This transition is incremental and the change is imperceptible to all but the political activists driving the split governance scheme. This imminence of it was reinforced by the New Zealand government serving notice that it intended to nationalise municipal water. This followed the announcement of…

Pastoral farming abolition call hushed up in producer nation media no-go zones of silence A scheme by the World Health Organisation for a global conversion to plant-based nutrition at the expense of animal foods is running in parallel with COP26. The switchover scheme is studiously ignored in pastoral economies by politico-media interests taking advantage of a widespread public belief that the World Health Organisation and United Nations are two separate organisations. They are both part of the same body. The World Health Organisation was created to coordinate health affairs within the United Nations system. Anything critical of United Nations is…

Craving the City vote a poll driven Prime Minister cancels UK meat and dairy diet Pastoral farmers have emerged as the easiest targets for the Glasgow climatists. British prime minister Boris Johnson has proclaimed that Britain will eat “alternative proteins,” instead of red meat. There are strong indications that Australasian pastoralists are being softened up with the pre-Glasgow plugging of cattle and sheep as villains behind climate warming. Worse still, Mr Johnson’s vendetta against pastoral farmers targets dairy products as well as meat. Cheese is included on his list of global warming endangered products scheduled to be replaced by protein…

Cancelled Subs believed bomb-proof in newly reinforced Green-Climate-Anti Nuclear shelter France really did learn at the same time as everyone else that its flagship technology deal to build Australia’s submarines was cancelled. The reason was that France’s channels kept telling Paris that the Australian government would not dare to confront its electorate with anything nuclear in any shape or form. The more Paris interrogated its own channels the stronger emerged this anti nuclear theme and with it the belief in the determination of Scott Morrison government to stick doggedly with the diesel submarines on order. These channels included France’s own…

Maori vocabulary in broadcasts shrouded absence of special inoculation initiative and hoodwinked multiculturalists Auckland is a merchant city and New Zealand’s largest metropolis. Many of its more prosperous and educated citizens were thrilled when Maori phrases and words were routinely inserted into official situation reports on the virus threat and even to the extent of a new name for their city, a Maori one. They assumed that this display of diversity-in-difficulty was also a sign that politicians and public health officials had an operational plan for a by now obviously vulnerable segment of the public health community. It turned out…

Duke and Duchess of Suffolk new California Residence attracts global Media to High Court case in South Seas Proceedings in the High Court of New Zealand between the representatives of a prominent Russian businessman resident in California and a Wellington legal publisher have caused what is being seen as a benchmark in the ability of journalists to protect the sources of their stories. The burden of the case is that the Wellington publisher and journalist John Bowie has been ordered to pay substantial costs to the plaintiff’s representatives in New Zealand There are several firms in New Zealand which have…

Glasgow Extravaganza Tempts Climate Zealots to make ruinous pledges to United Nations Politicians and their entourages converging on Glasgow for Cop26 threaten to pile additional economic handicaps on their countries as they showily compete with each other in displays of climate warming zealotry. United Nations which is staging Cop26 will be the main beneficiary just because it diverts attention away from its own failure in regard to the real crisis, the pandemic, which it failed to intercept and then stonewalled in determining its origin. Europe is facing an energy shortage due low fuel stockpiles following last winter, which was colder…

Retrofitting French Atomic Subs was a customisation too far The new AUKUS military alliance concludes the most bizarre construction deal in modern military procurement, the one for Australia to retro re-equip French nuclear submarines with diesel engines. The compromise was itself powered by the most high minded of moral objectives blended with the most practical of political imperatives. The moral objective was to protect Australia from anything nuclear. The political one was old fashioned electioneering based on keeping jobs there too. What a difference a few years make. Five in the case of the backwardly compatible subs. In 2016 the…

National Leader Caustic comments on Covid Clinicians cracked media indifference Microbiologist Dr Siouxsie Wiles presented Judith Collins with one of the very few high value targets available to the leader of the Opposition. Mrs Collins let fly with her “big fat hypocrite” missile after someone dobbed in the New Zealander of the Year for being away from home at the beach. And not wearing a mask. Judith Collins targeted Dr Siouxsie Wiles (https://www.mscnewswire.co.nz/page2/item/19280-phillida-perry-s-siouxsie-the-virus-documents-dr-wiles-catching-mass-resentment-for-covid-containment.html) only a few weeks after taking a swipe at Dr Ashley Bloomfield the nation’s director general of health. Mrs Collins lashed out at the duo because strange…
