There are a few topics this week that I considered weighing in on: bi-lingual road signs, drug prescriptions, and accusations of homophobia. There is a common thread that runs through these stories.

A little bit of a bizarre situation has formed in the wake of New Zealand's COVID lockdowns and forced vaccination policies. The opposition to these things was chaotic and disorganised.

The Media Council is somewhat of a strange beast. Sometimes it delivers good and interesting verdicts on issues of media balance, but most of the time it seems to share the heavy left-wing bias of the organisations it represents.

Not all technological advancements are good. The ability for the government to harass you via the device you carry in your pocket is one of those extremely negative developments.

It has been well over 3 years since Police raided my family home at dinner time on the hunt for illegal firearms.

I confess that I don't really know anything about the "Dominion Post" other than occasional references to it in media. On 14th April the owner and CEO of Stuff proudly announced that the word "dominion" was going to disappear from the newspaper's name.

A week is a long time in politics. I started off a Saturday morning in late March escorting Helen Houghton from New Conservative to speak at Kelly-Jay Keen's "Let Women Speak" event in Albert Park.

There has been some debate on the right as to the meaning and purpose of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Ever since I accepted the invitation to join New Conservative, I've been thinking.

New Zealand experienced two very important events this week that are more closely related than you might think. First, the chairman of the social housing ministry was sacked for making political statements in public.
