Tuesday, 27 February 2024, 9:30 am | Eugene Doyle

Statues and place names are important cultural and ideological markers. They announce in bronze or in typeface who you are and what you stand for. They have, usefully and provocatively, been taking a bit of a beating lately as statues to slavers, agents ... More >>

Things Are Not What They Seem

Tuesday, 20 February 2024, 3:21 pm | Eugene Doyle

Monday, 5 February 2024, 10:18 am | Eugene Doyle

New Zealand Goose-steps Towards The Moral Abyss

Friday, 2 February 2024, 11:55 am | Eugene Doyle

Houthis Save The World

Tuesday, 30 January 2024, 12:46 pm | Eugene Doyle

The State of Israel can butcher thousands of innocents but New Zealand would not lift a finger to provide support to its victims. IDF soldiers can gun down old men and women waving white flags, shell lines of refugees queuing for aid, and deprive ... More >>

The Case Against Israel

Friday, 12 January 2024, 12:52 pm | Eugene Doyle

Christ Is Born In Gaza

Friday, 22 December 2023, 3:25 pm | Eugene Doyle

Why was the Little Baby Jesus born in a stable? Because the Israelis bombed all the houses. Truly. Every year Jesus is born, dies and is reborn. He is reborn into our world – that is part of what makes Christian symbology meaningful. This year ... More >>

The Minister For Smoking Must Resign

Thursday, 30 November 2023, 12:12 pm | Eugene Doyle

Dr Shane Reti, the Minister for Smoking, needs to do the honourable thing. That seems unlikely, given he will shortly co-sign a death warrant for thousands of vulnerable people, but it must be called for: resign. I can’t think of a more ignoble start ... More >>

The Holocaust Should Be A Lesson Not A Template

Tuesday, 7 November 2023, 12:15 pm | Eugene Doyle
