Great to see that NZ Plunket has completely minimized Truby-King’s role in favour of two local wahine Māori. More Marxist race-based “truth scrubbing”. Sad, inward-looking stuff. rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

There must be a full investigation into the faux independence of Jordan Rivers. He is embedded in Chris Hipkin’s office, is taxpayer funded and is doing the grunge work for the Labour Party.

Look out TVNZ+ ! An old University of Otago flatmate from CHC used the “syrup suckers” ad hominem re private schoolboys. Referred to dripping honey on seniors c*cks during “fagging” rituals with juniors. SS should withdraw and apologize PDQ IMHO

As a former senior manager in the NZL public service I often “briefed” Ministers. These were always in writing and usually countersigned by a Dep Sec. This was the protocol. They were never an informal chat/discussion/txt/phone call. Mr Coster’s assertions are not believable.

A stunning Split Enz video. Unmatched 1970s creativity. Their unique style pre-dated Punk and New Wave with musicality previously unheard internationally. youtu.be/icBL4ahIWTU?si… via YouTube

RIP Rob and Martin Winch - master session musicians. Gone too young. The very classy 1990 Commission Song - 'New Zealand - Kainga Tu-turu' deserved a better reception IMHO. youtu.be/JIIsiJ2yvHk?si… via YouTube

Come back Metternich, Talleyrand, Castlereagh, Nessselrode et al ….. your services are required to corral an aggressive state with its eye on European territory. nzherald.co.nz/world/even-if-…

Sad stuff. Margaret Mutu doesn’t understand the global meaning of democracy. Does she teach this flawed stuff at AU? PS TVNZ+ why was this morning’s streamed Q+A cut short? Slipshod stuff IMHO.

I prefer his analysis of “international law” to that espoused by Helen Clark and Phil Goff et al. The frank realism of a wider perspective rings true. Well worth watching IMHO.

Samira Taghavi writes knowledgeably and passionately about the situation in Iran. This article is well worth reading as a counter-point to the usual left-wing boosterism from ⁦Helen Clark⁩ et al. nzherald.co.nz/nz/when-human-…
