TV REVIEW: The Nation, Q+A and Marae
I haven’t watched the Nation much of late. It’s just the same talking heads all agreeing with each other. I tuned in this week out of mistake and Jesus it’s a hot mess. Winston Peters is on with Lisa Owen and his disdain for the mainstream media is just glorious to watch. I felt like I should have called the Police because it was an elderly Maori male beating up on a white privileged woman for 20minutes.

Our economic sovereignty can not be maintained if we sell our most productive land to overseas investors, it’s as simple as that.

AAAP Guerrilla attack on WINZ & is it time beneficiaries started a vandalism campaign this election?
The simple truth is that most of our welfare agencies are now staffed by people without the necessary compassion skills to do anything useful in the lives of our most vulnerable. If beneficiaries really wanted to vent their fury at the manner in which WINZ staff treat them, then they could do that with a vandalisation campaign this year.

ComedyFest review: Markus Birdman, Wrestlemania 33 & Logan – a requiem for the cultural death of Generation X
Markus Birdman is a fascinating comedian and proof that the snippets you see of an act in a big gala is not indicative of the comedians full body of work. In short bursts, Birdman is a cynical but well read 40s something solo father of a 12 year old but in a full show he is a philosopher who encapsulates the zeitgeist of the cultural death of Gen X.
