It's chaos over at Green HQ, just like this time last week it was chaos over at Labour HQ. They say a week is a long time in politics. Seven days ago Andrew Little was Labour leader and the Greens had reached a new high in the polls.

Eight hours after becoming Leader of the Labour Party, Leader of the Opposition, and possibly future Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern was asked the question of our time: are you planning on having children and would that affect your performance?

In a shocking turn of events, Andrew Little has resigned as leader of the Labour Party just hours after stating that he would not.

The Kiwi Gun Blog has a story with some shocking numbers into just how few resources go into training policemen for the use of firearms.

Perhaps the most controversial move of Trump's presidency among his supporters has been the decision to bomb a Syria airbase in response to a nerve gas attack on a civilian population. Let's take a look at some of the positives.
