The National Party seems to be the masters at taking a privilege, benefit or entitlement and then pulling up the ladder so others can't have it. We see this again with more than just Christoper Luxon claiming the EV rebate at the same time as opposing it, with the promise that others won't get it should they be government. Visit www. BHNShop.nz for the July drop of merchandise to support t...

National has a history of needing to placate the people that vote for them who have abhorrent views on race. National needs to find a way to secure their vote while distancing themselves from the statements and ideologies that these voters have. How do they do that? It's a weird question as anyone with morals with just go 'we don't want their votes' but if National, or ACT for that...

Everyone was pissed at Paddy Gower about his segment on the "trans issue" with the right annoyed he was "shutting down comments from everyday women" and the trans community angry with accusations that Gower was 'bothsidsing' the conversation. The ugliest part of the conversation feels like Gower has couched the conversation that trans people are the issue which only fee...

Accusations of bullying in Kiri Allan's office by National and accusations of 'dirty politics' from basically everyone else including the departments that Allan is said to have offended against.

Christopher Luxon wants this issue to go away but ot won't until National MPs stop taking the rebate they are aiming to cancel and say they disagree with The PM is being criticised for taking two planes on his Asian trip in case one of them breaks down. Nation i...

We'll take a look at some of the National Party Conference from the weekend and some of the policy promises that have come from it. The Greens have received a $50,000 donation from James Cameron. The problem is they have been campaigning on reducing donations to $35,000 so does this have the air of hypocrisy...or is it something else? A controversial hunting competition has occurred over the w...

The Christopher Luxon Tesla debacle was a few days ago but as it's our first day back live we want to cover off a few things about the story that we think the MSM are missing Michael Wood is gone, as he should have been two weeks ago, yet in the embarrassing time for Labour, Chippy is still going up in the polls so what does that say about Luxon? Also the new clean out conflict of interest pol...

There are many claims that Jordan Peterson has made, two really interesting ones are to do with his qualifications and credentials he has to speak with authority on an issue. Seems that maybe Dr Peterson has been...stretching...the truth a little in his claims, some might say 'lying' but let's give him some grace...although this clip doesn't, it eviscerates the Canadian academic an...

Jordan Peterson has claimed that Dame Jacinda Ardern is a "catastrophic failure".

What National seems to not understand is that Christopher Luxon doesn't seem to be able to read the room as to what to say publicly and how it will be perceived. I think most people understand this stupid comment is a "joke" but what Luxon seems to not understand is that his opposition are looking for ways to paint him in a certain light, and with his "abortion is tantamount to...

When NZ Herald's Simon Wilson talks about David Seymour like he isn't even there during a podcast panel conversation.

Ministers Michael Wood and Jan Tinetti have had a day of it in the house today being grilled over each of their indiscretions causing the PM embarrassment and making a case for the right to solidify their "coalition of chaos" moniker Christopher Luxon really, really doesn't understand politics. Albeit a throwaway comment, he seems to have no awareness that after his "abortion is...

Things get a lot worse for Minister Michael Wood today with genuine questions now being asked if he can remain in cabinet. We learned yesterday the he was approached 5 times to sell his airport shares and many thought that he could be forgiven over what could be an oversight...but today we learn that he was in fact contacted 12 times making it much harder to sell the idea that this wasn't inte...

NZME's Editor at Large Shayne Currie joins us to talk about the government's discussion document, Safer Online Services and Media Platforms, and what it means for media in NZ. Does social media, and internet-based broadcasts need a new, overseeing regulatory body.

Nicola Willis has come out greatly offended that Labour has used National's position on getting women to have to pay again for contraception as an attack on women. Fair or not, the pearl clutching by Willis seems more a response to National leaving themselves wide open to the attack, than the attack itself. Willis claims this as a "baseless" attack which is nonsense and if you agree....

Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown is a petulant brat. This was evident last week when he had a very important announcement over Auckland's budget, where he spent a good portion of the time dissing Auckland councilors. The event was then completely overshadowed by Brown's attempt to ban some media from the announcement making the story for the media his apparent desire to restrict media reporting...

There are concerns in some sectors that a combination of Christopher Luxon's views on abortion and the recent announcement to repeal the free $5 prescription law introduced by Labour, which will mean women will go back to paying for their contraception, that the National Party is at war with women. Fair or not, perception is reality in the political game and post the overturn of roe v wade, th...

There is a proposed new super-power government body set to rule over news and social media content, film, gaming classification. The Free Speech Union is already raising many questions, some valid, some appear to be fear mongering based on what they 'think' will happen as opposed to what is in the proposed document and of course the usual suspects are looking for nefarious actions in publi...
