Here’s the thing, this election may already be over…but, if Labour is to have any chance I think two things need to happen.Winston Peters needs to be back ACT needs to disappear There is not much that Labour can do to get Winston Peters back, but for the other necessary action to happen, maybe Labour can help that along a little bit. ACT seems to be somewhat imploding with not too many people

So Paul Sheehan from the Sydney Morning Herald thinks we should see the back of the haka, especially looking at the ‘throat slitting action. Well let’s look at the technical side of things first. In Maori culture that action means to draw of the breath of life into the heart and lungs…but to be honest I don’t care about that. I could care less if it meant, “I’m going into battle against you and

Dr. Don Brash has pulled out of a debate on Treaty issues to be held on TV3's 'The Nation'. The ACT Party and Dr. Brash have been asking TV3 for logistical and editorial details about the debate. It would appear they have not received what they wanted so Dr. Brash was pulled. I interviewed Dr. Brash for 40 minutes on Saturday along with Jeremy Elwood my co-host on The Slightly Correct Political

Do we all have a little ‘Mutu’ in us? A week ago Professor Margaret Mutu responded to a Department of Labour report that found Maori are more likely to express anti-immigration sentiment than any other ethnic group by saying that white immigration should be restricted because they pose a threat to race relations due to their “white supremacist” attitudes. Over the following few days there has

Last year, on the 9th anniversary of 9/11 I spoke with Dr Gene Corely and Mike Berger about the collapse of the twin towers. Dr Corley is basically the world expert in why buildings fall down and headed the FEMA report into what happened with the twin towers and Mr Berger is the media spokesman for 911truth.org and a documentary maker. An interesting conversation then occurred... Part One

So the Minister of Police has issued a statement saying there would be no apology to the Urewera 18 since charges have been dropped against most of them. The Crown and the Police should absolutely apologise. The Police have said there wasn't enough evidence to proceed against all but four of the accused, quick question...why did that take four years to figure out? The 'news' we heard all those

I wonder if any of our minor parties are ineligible for the 2011 election. A fact that I just found out from the Electoral Office is that not only does a group need to attain 500 members to become a party, it also needs to keep 500 on its books to remain a legal entity. The Electoral Finance Act (1993) states in Section 67, Clause 3 that“It shall be the duty of the secretary of any political

An article from the Dominion Post came out today with that famous pantyhose wearing rugby player, Alan Hewson, saying that the 1981 Springbok Tour should not have happened. I disagree. Alan Hewson says he now is thirty years older that "maybe the Government shouldn't have allowed the tour to take place." I disagree. I understand the sentiment that comes with the idea that we should not have

So Michael emailed me today and challenged all of us to predict the results for the election. Okay lets do it here... So this is the idea. You will have a chance to list your guesses now, then come 30 August you will have a chance to revise your picks. I will organise two prizes, one for who is closest from the first pick, then one who is closest from the revised picks. We will say there are 122

It is fantastic to see that Don Brash is trying to get back into politics with today’s coup of the ACT Party leadership. Don Brash said in his brief press conference his objectives were to “raise the income levels of all New Zealanders” while making sure that “all New Zealanders are treated equally under the law”. Finally a man in politics who is going to fight for the lower class, to stand up

Some are for this bill, some are against it, but I think what I am seeing is inaccuracy, xenophobia and hysteria around the bill in general by a few loud voices who are being listened to and believed as if they were Jesus Christ himself spelling out the Gospels. For me, I don’t have a huge issue with this bill, I never have, and I don’t buy into the conspiracy theories that all of a sudden NZ

I read about the ‘lone’ protestor at Waitangi today on stuff.co.nz this afternoon. He is Wikitana Popata, nephew of MP Hone Harawira.

On Jan 8th I emailed the leaders of all seven of the political parties currently in government, and also Winston Peters for good measure, and asked them if they would care to support the drive for Kiwi's to own their national holiday, to get over the bickering and fighting and laid down the challenge that Waitangi Day "is for people to own the day, and celebrate it!"

Albert Einstein said the definition if insanity is "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." I think we as a nation have begun doing this habitually and in 2011 we need a new perspective.

I wonder sometimes if what we say we want...is actually what we want in politics. It seems that what we hear over and over again is the viable third party...a party for all New Zealand, a party that represents the majority of us, a Centrist Party! John Key is a very centrist politician...in some areas he is more left that Labour and in other areas he is very right. I interviewed him last year

If you have a critical word to say about Winston Peters some people lose their mind. This morning the topic of conversation was around Winston, and my opinion that he says lots of words but no substance ever really comes out. A perfect example of this is Close Up last night where the debate was about the retirement age (I have no idea why Winston was on anyway, he isn't in Government and he isn't

As a talkback host I am often in a position to spar with people over topics, it’s probably a weakness that I enjoy it a little too much as on occasions I may lose the context of a conversation, or the importance of an issue, to 'win' the argument.I am growing as a person and a talkback host and think this is an area that I can, and have worked on.

Hide said "No" and also stated clearly that he would not be stepping down from the leadership role.The most surprising part of the interview was Mr. Hide revealing that he didn't know that the offensive act committed by Mr. Garret was suppressed.

The GOP should smash the Democrats in the mid term elections in 7 weeks, only one thing can really get in their way...the GOP.See the problem with the Democrats is they are too fractured, there base is far left to centre. Typically the GOP has set itself up to be much more aligned with one another. The Republicans seem to be able to get together much more easily and agree, whereas the Dems views

As reported on Stuff.co.nz he is going to ‘complain to the Press Council and Broadcasting Standards Authority over media using the name Whanganui.’ He has gone so far as to say that media bodies that using the name Whanganui are acting illegally.

Last week Matt Stone and Trey Parker celebrated their 200th episode of South Park. The episode basically showed every celebrity that they had ripped on in the previous 199 episodes trying to figure out a way that they could become impossible to mock, then the answer dawned on them, the one being that is never mocked…Mohammed!If the group of celebrities could capture Mohammed, they could extract

If you read the comments below, and be aware there is some offensive language there, it appears it may be as some of the are dated as far back as 12 months ago and seem to be identifying him as the convicted. I am sure if you watch the news tonight, it will be confirmed or not
