Whilst driving, through Labour’s Sue Moroney’s territory, on my way back from my weekly lecture at BTI in Tauranga, I laughed so much I nearly drove into a pole. Narrowly missing the pole, the laughter saw me nearly swerve into fence. This is what I saw on the side of Galloway St in Hamilton: I […]

Next time you want to tape a politician…
August 7th, 2008 Comments Off on Next time you want to tape a politician…
I will resist the urge the comment on the content of the recent taped conversations, well I might say *yawn* what political party does not contain MP’s that have ideas about where they would like their party to head in the future, in fact to swipe my 16 year old’s comments, there would be something […]

As the early bird rate expires on Friday, I registered Matt’s and my attendance at this years Forum on the Family. Being election year, the line up is mostly politicians all keen to vote catch but of the array of political parties being billed, one is most conspicuously absent. Can you spot which one? Its […]

June 20th, 2008 4 Comments
I was absolutely horrified to wake up this morning to hear that Parliament had passed the Criminal Procedure Bill last night. While there were some good things in the Bill (as there usually are) such as the district courts being able to hear P cases, I am most appalled at the attack on double jeopardy; […]

Greens, Tasers and Torture
November 29th, 2007 3 Comments

A common objection to belief in the God of the Bible is that a good, kind, and loving deity would never command the wholesale slaughter of nations. In the tradition of his popular Is God a Moral Monster?, Paul Copan teams up with Matthew Flannagan to tackle some of the most confusing and uncomfortable passages of Scripture. Together they help the Christian and nonbeliever alike understand the biblical, theological, philosophical, and ethical implications of Old Testament warfare passages.
John Key on Religion and Public Life
September 30th, 2008 21 Comments
A few weeks ago someone gave me a copy of this interview with John Key. Now the first thing to note is that the article was published by Gaynz.com. Gaynz.com are not a terribly reliable media outlet, and Madeleine would say that they are beneath the term “media outlet”. Hence, much of what is written […]
