MEDIA WATCH: Oh for God’s sake, there are plenty of good reasons to attack ACT – this isn’t one of them

Why NZ First are right and the Euthanasia law needs to be a public referendum
By allowing assisted suicide, we open an enormous door that can’t be closed and the entire public need to not only have a say on that, but the decision must be one we agree on because once the media pick up on stories of euthanasia coercion we all need to be responsible and not yell that it’s the politicians fault.

Paying For Our Pakeha “Guilt” and “Privilege”
PERHAPS THE BEST WAY to assess the quality of the NZ Herald’s “Land of the Long White Cloud” is by studying Tom Clarke’s characterisation of James Cook.

Clarke then proceeds to deliver a false description of Cook’s mission – complete with jokes about planting flags and claiming countries.
