Re Judge Ema Aitken, I see Newsroom framed it as 'NZ First fails to claim scalp of judge'. A rather partisan way of viewing it, as some have pointed out, which shows where Newsroom's sympathies lie.
I am incredulous that a Judge, who so obviously was not being full and free with the truth, is permitted to sit on the bench for a single moment longer. Of course she did not recognise Winston Peters, perhaps the highest profile politician we've ever had. Yeah right.
Oh jeez John. You mean to tell me that while most of us spend our days working away, trying to get ahead, these Champagne quaffing socialist woketards are being funded by us to mince around on the stage, pushing their political ideology? Well, I kinda knew all that, but your articles usually show me that the rot is oh so much deeper than I could imagine at my max cynical. I certainly was not aware of the "Arts Council of New Zealand Toi Aotearoa Act 2014" and all its pro-Maori pc bullshit. Jeepers.
You are so very correct to point out that the Nats have let this happen to them. They have had a good couple of years to roll back the bollocks, yet they let TVNZ, RNZ etc continue to slag them whilst masquerading as journalists. Paul Goldilocks & Luxflakes seem too scared to do anything, so we should not be all that surprised.
Perhaps some solace from the fact that the only people who will actually go to see a show about Aunty Helen are those already so far gone down that lefty rabbit hole.
I can remember an age when public service people held a certain amount of respect; after all they reliably carried out most of the duties the public expected of them. Their overall numbers relative to the population weren’t excessive either.
They certainly weren’t a politically-driven entity in their own right.
A lot has changed, and not for the better as far as I can see.
Those involved in the Auckland theatrical scene are nothing more than snotty wannabes who see themselves as superior to the rest of us. They make my skin crawl with their superciliousness. That Woman and her coke-soaked other half are very much part of this lot, Mulligan being a very good mate of theirs. Absolute Power, Ian Wisharts 2009 unauthorized biography about Ms Clark (That Womans handler), should be compulsory reading for high school students. Read that, and you have the measure of what she is about.
Great substack - just want to add one word to your spot on paragraph . . .
Whatever the case, the current Government’s intolerable tolerance of vast sums of public (TAXPAYERS') money being used to propagandize for New Zealand’s political opposition could cost the Government power at the next election.
Unfortunately for Luxton his submissive acceptance of the MSM bias, the continual finger from the Public Sector and local government makes a mockery of the promises he campaigned on and was elected for. Such a weak showing from a man who needs to be a politician not a woke businessman is good news for the Left.
The Prime Minister’s surname is Luxon (no “t”) but please don’t take that as a criticism John. Many perfectly capable people call the former PM John Keys. It’s because these so called leaders are such vacuous drones it’s genuinely hard to remember their proper names. No one ever said Winston Churchills or Margaret Thatchill
Ah Maggie. And Winston. Bless them. Add Reagan & now Trump. These are the type of leaders we need (maybe Trump without his phone tho...). Vacuous drones indeed.
Interesting that you mention the Fabians John. A quick check on who is part of or connected with this NZ Fabian Society reveals names that are familiar and some who are not…there’s quite an influential group there. I see that Sir Michael Cullen was one, and currently there are a number who are aligned with Labour and Green parties.
The George Bernard Shaw types. They who either ignore the mass slaughters of their own citizens by the Chinese & Russians communists, or dismiss the mass murders as necessary to make the commie omelette
I genuinely have no idea what that is supposed to men, but seriously go & read the comments. You’re doing nothing but feeding the narrowly ideological, stuff that just confirms their prejudices.
The lack of self awareness & lack of irony of people going on ‘bias’ is comical.
Pure partisan hackery. You’re welcome to do it of course, but let’s be honest about what it is.

Beyond appalling.
Clark has been sucking from the taxpayers teat for decades - enough already !
It appears to only support the sisterhood and Maori.
When do the hard working stale, pale male get a look in ?

We should all note ,the left never rest in their efforts to destabilise New Zealand. Ward Lealand is just one example.
Shame it's not titled Helen Clark in Six Seconds

I’ve amended accordingly Deb! 😃

That doesn’t seem very DEI of them. I note some names here that are familiar such as Sue Bradford, Nick Hager, James Renwick, Tracey Martin and so on.
There’s some joining of the dots overdue…
“Citizen typist, enthusiastic amateur”
That’s not how you spell partisan hack.
Nice try Shiller

The literal mirror image of a woke echo chamber.
I suppose the saving grace is that ordinary Kiwis won’t and don’t give a toss about this nonsense… it certainly is preaching to the choir…
Wokesters don’t seek to preach to anyone other than their own choir. That’s their “special power” (and, hopefully, vulnerability)
Bastardi.......putting a mortgage on our mokopuna...these people make me want to vomit.
