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.

OPINION: Finally, the jackboot of State will be lifted from the throat of those trying to grow the economy.

OPINION: With media putting so much effort into covering the issue of children not really liking the school lunch they never asked for in the first place, it's understandable they've paid little if any attention to the looming threat to the NZ economy - bird flu.

Dodgy!

OPINION: If you believe Maori Party president John Tamihere’s claim that “nothing dodgy” occurred at Manurewa Marae during the last election, the Hound has a bridge to sell you.
