I can’t accuse NZ First MP Shane Jones of being pale, male, and stale. But he is male, and he is stale with these comments of his about the way some MPs are dressing in Parliament. I do agree with him, though, that some of the rules in Parliament need toughening up. This has all been stirred-up after the MPs did their haka in Parliament last week. …

Much has been going on around the world this year so climate and environment have taken a back seat.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins says he had no problem with Te Pati Māori's haka in the House last week, during the vote on ACT's Treaty Principle Bill. David Seymour, the National Party, and Shane Jones have written to Speaker Gerry Brownlee. They say the Speaker should oversee rule changes at Parliament in light of the disruption. Hipkins told John M…

An absolute circus is one way to describe David Seymour’s Treaty Principles Bill. Or you could say that the thousands at Parliament today to protest against it is what democracy is all about. Either way, if you want to point a finger at anyone for creating this shambles, don’t point it at David Seymour. Point it at Prime Minister Christopher Luxon.…

When it comes to apologies there are generally two types: a sincere apology and a hollow apology. And survivors of abuse in state or religious care are saying that the Prime Minister’s apology today for that abuse is hollow, because the Government isn’t saying anything today about redress or compensation. The Government’s position is that it needs …

If you’re feeling under resourced or carrying a heavy load, it’s no surprise. God has made no provision for you to live the Christian life on your own. You’re not strong enough or committed enough, none of us are. God has just one provision for us to live a life of joyful obedience in Christ – the Holy Spirit. And how does the Holy Spirit help? You…

Donald Trump has a mandate to do what he promised after winning easily. But how far will he actually go and how fast?

You'll have your own way of describing this crazy situation where we’ve got KiwiRail telling the Christchurch City Council that it has to close a 1.5 kilometre stretch of cycleway for two years, because the cycleway needs some safety improvements. KiwiRail reckons the Heathcote Express cycleway, which is near a railway crossing, is so dangerous tha…

I think I’m going to trust my gut instinct more often. Because yesterday, I didn’t like the idea of it, but my gut was telling me that Donald Trump was going to win the presidential election. And because I’m going to listen to my gut instinct more often, today I’m going to tell you that —even if we don't like it— we need to calm the farm a bit with…

Historic. Knife edge. Too close to call. That’s what they’re all saying about today’s presidential election in the States. What you never see though, splashed across the screens on CNN and Sky News and BBC, is “gut instinct”. My gut tells me that it’s going to be Donald Trump. And, this is the great thing about gut instinct, it doesn't really matte…

Labour is lamenting the Treaty Principles Bill even seeing the light of day. David Seymour's controversial bill will be introduced in Parliament tomorrow.

The plan to give “use of force” powers to the people running the Government’s new boot camps for young criminals is getting a bit of attention today. Or military academies as the Prime Minister was calling them this morning.

From today, the police don’t intend to respond to every mental health callout. But I don’t think we’re going to see any major difference. I’ll tell you why shortly,.

An election on a knife-edge, and a nation seemingly on the brink. How do we make sense of this fever-pitched moment? First a snapshot from USA Today political reporter Deborah Berry, who's been in Georgia a lot lately. Then we hear how strategist Rachel Bitecofer has advised the Democrats to beat the Republicans at their own game, with less focus o…

I didn’t go to university and there’s a bit of a dad joke that I trot out about that now and again. I say that I’m a student of life, in no rush to graduate. So maybe I’m coming at this with a biased view of the world, but I agree with this academic at the University of Canterbury who is saying today that universities have just become factories tha…

Today on Politics Friday, John MacDonald was joined by National’s Vanessa Weenink and Labour’s Tracey McLellan for a chat about the latest political happenings.

It’s Gumboot Friday tomorrow and the guy behind it, Mike King, seems to have put his foot in it. Although, I’m a little bit torn on this one. So what’s happened is we’ve got this charity fashion show being held in Dunedin to raise money for suicide prevention and mental health awareness. And, like most events, the organisers wanted to serve alcohol…

If I say to you “30 kph speed limit area”, chances are you can think of one. I can think of one straight away - on the southern end of Colombo Street in Christchurch. You’re cruising along at 50 kph and then —bang— it drops down to 30. No schools on that stretch of Colombo. There’s a school on one of the side streets, but it goes down to 30 —and it…

Our friends at If You're Listening have a new series about the US presidential election that we want to tell you about. Donald Trump still refuses to accept the result of the 2020 election. Now he’s on the ballot again, and in his campaign against Kamala Harris he’s calling on his supporters to make the race ‘too big to rig’. In America's Last Elec…

When I heard that a campervan park is going to be up and running in central Christchurch, near Latimer Square —possibly in time for this summer— my first thought was that I’m glad I haven’t spent more than $500,000 buying an apartment around there. Not even the developer’s reassurances that campervan people aren’t “yahoo types” made me feel any mor…

We were thrilled to welcome our dear friend Ted Barrett to speak to the men at Rock Bottom. Ted spent years working as an MLB umpire, he humorously told us, “Jesus loves umpires—because no one else does.“ His journey is truly inspiring, as he shares his path from salvation and learning to follow Jesus, to his time in Major League Baseball, and ulti…

“There for the grace of God goes I.” We generally say it when something bad and we know that it could just as easily happen to us, and anyone who is a parent should say that whenever they hear nightmare stories about kids being abused by their parents or caregivers. I say that not just as a by-stander looking on. I say that as someone with three ki…

John MacDonald was joined by National’s Hamish Campbell and Labour’s Reuben Davidson for Politics Friday. On the agenda today was yet another case of Oranga Tamariki failing to act on information pertaining to child welfare – is it time to start parenting courses to help with the stress of raising children? A petition has launched, looking at banni…

I feel really uncomfortable about the idea of public sector bosses getting performance pay. Not that the Government is going to care too much about that, because it’s confirmed that, from the middle of next year, that’s what’s going to be happening. It’s unclear to me at this stage whether it’s going to mean the heads of all our government departme…

After saying just the other week that I don’t agree with central Government taking over local councils when things go pear-shaped, I’ve changed my tune. Slightly. And I’ve got an idea to run past you. First, though, can you imagine what it must feel like being a mayor and getting the phone call from the Beehive saying ‘you’re doing a pretty cruddy …

Labour Leader Chris Hipkins joined John MacDonald for their regular catchup. On today’s agenda: Andrew Bayly is in hot water for his “offensive comments” during a Ministerial visit – what are his party’s thoughts on the situation? Is it time to have central government reporting on local councils to mitigate the chances of what’s happening in Wellin…

Sometimes you just have to resort to cliches, because there are times when there’s just no other way to say it. Or no better way to say it. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over-and-over and expecting different results. That’s how I feel about the Government strengthening its Three Strikes law to make it easier to keep repeat offe…

You can call me a nerd, if you want to. But I reckon there is nothing like the performance of walking down to your local polling booth on voting day and casting your vote. The way we do every three years when we’re electing a Government. In the general election. There’s no confusion. It’s well-publicised. You can do early voting, if you want to or …

Like it or not, we all have a stake when Americans head to the polls in November.

What’s the thing you hear people say time-and-time again about the way we seemed to just get on with the job of building infrastructure back in, say, the 1970s? What’s the most common thing you hear people say about that? They say “our forebears had the foresight”. And that’s what I hope Christchurch city councillors have when they decide whether o…

A blow to South Canterbury as Timaru's Smithfield meat-works is confirmed to be closing. The entire nearly 140-year-old site will close by December's end.

Here’s my perception of ACC: some people get ACC pay-outs at the drop of a hat and others have to fight, for what can be years. And it’s the fighting bit that seems to be biting ACC on the backside, with the news that it’s gone from having a $900 million surplus last year to a $7.2 billion deficit this year. It’s saying one of the reasons for that …

Christchurch's mayor is keeping mum about seeking re-election. First time mayor Phil Mauger took the reins in 2022 after narrowly beating former health boss David Meates. City Councillor Sara Templeton has announced her bid for mayor a year out from local body elections. Mauger wouldn’t confirm to John MacDonald whether he's decided to run. He says…

The highest court in the land is too big for its boots. That’s what the guy who runs the New Zealand Initiative think tank is saying today. Roger Partridge is his name - he’s also a lawyer and King’s Counsel. And he says the Supreme Court needs to be reined-in because he thinks it’s trying to re-write the laws made by Parliament. One of the example…
