OPINION: Yours truly sees that the political phoenix that is Winston Peters is again trying to make a return to parliament.

Peters recently unveiled NZ First's slogan for this year's election... 'Take our country back'.

I am sure many readers would like Peters to 'take our country back' to September 2017 when he signed up with Labour and started the train wreck of the past 6 years.

While the wily old campaigner would like to downplay his part in creating the mess we now have running the joint, it is actually his fault entirely and this should not be forgotten.

Domestic Focus

OPINION: After hogging the media limelight for telling a NZ Chinese MP to "go back home", Winston Peters has decided to focus on a domestic issue - oil and gas drilling.

OPINION: The same mainstream media muppets that brought you Jacindamania in 2017 have been flat out pimping for the Opportunities Party, labelled by some as the 'LinkedIn Greens' for their corporate spin on Green-esque 'tax the rich' policies.

UK Warning

OPINION: Your old mate reckons the atrocious way farmers in the UK are treated by their lords and masters in Westminster is a salient warning for us.
