The time has come to get rid of all prayers and mentions of a god in all forms of government. Allowing religious organisations to claim charity status is another thing that needs addressing urgently. Many offer no form of charitable work at all, just accumulating wealth and power for the hierarchy.

My column. Fire at will, see if I care.
It's time to shut down greyhound racing, for good.

Why are the politicians so weak-kneed on it?

Kiwis are brave enough to ban greyhound racing. Why aren’t we?

The thing opponents of Voluntary Assisted Dying never realise is that people facing horrible deaths will & do choose to avoid them. They’ll just choose earlier than they otherwise might & will have to die alone for fear of implicating loved ones in their decision.

"The poll found almost half (48%) of respondents thought hotter summers were caused by “normal fluctuations in the weather cycle”, while the rest (52%) correctly identified they are a “consequence of climate change”."
Public climate knowledge shouldn't be a coin toss in '24.
Media has failed us.
