Liam Dann, writing in the Herald this week, lamented the fact that immigration would be a major issue in the upcoming election this year.

Yes, there will be another New Zealand property crash, and, yes, it will include Auckland. In May 2015 I made a video outlining the reasons why the Auckland property market was in a bubble and so would eventually crash.

The government is never slow to take up an opportunity to spend tax payers' money on some "important" world event (think Rugby World Cup 2011- conservatively $39 million plus, America's Cup 2013  - $33 million).

In 2014/5 some western politicians started calling for Russia to be disconnected from the SWIFT system for inter-bank transfers. Russia responded by putting in place plans to set up their own version of SWIFT.

Conservatism is at heart a humble philosophy. It engages with reality, not seeking to remake it. It holds that certain things are eternally true.

Stuff is always alert to its important role of herding the New Zealand public along the road of the latest war narrative.

I recently read this interesting article over on Social Matter. While well-written and thought-provoking, I do have some misgivings about the author's conclusions.

I have a Make America Great Again hat. I wear it. It annoys people. The right kind of people. The people who need to be annoyed.

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.

In one of the more bizarre offerings from the New Zealand mainstream press this past week, a fellow by the name of Jacob Van de Visser took the opportunity to contribute to Stuff's 'Stuff Nation' page, where readers can send in local news or opinion pieces.

Until recently, those of us concerned about the implications of rampant globalisation on New Zealand were mostly worried about NZ becoming a lap dog of the United States.

Due to popular demand, here is another edition of Mid-Week Politics from the staff at Right Minds. We will endeavour to make this a regular series.

Labour and the Greens last week released their budget responsibility rules. This is a slick political move which could fool a lot of soft voters. On the face of it, it looks like they are making a firm commitment to fiscal responsibility.

In an Official Information Act request obtained by Right Minds NZ, dated March last year, it has been revealed that the Auckland DHB spend over $95,000 on workshops for staff to promote their "new values" in 2014.

It seems the 21st century really is an extraordinary time to be alive. Unfortunately, I don't mean that in a good way. We live in a bizarre age when men are women, women are cats, landmasses are people, but unborn people aren't people.

I’ve changed my mind about New Zealand becoming a republic.  Ever since I was a kid I’ve been very 'anti-royal'. When I was 12 my Mum dropped me off at LLandaff Cathedral in Cardiff on her way to work, to see the Queen turn up.
