		<title>Jesus saves, Mum and Dad lose, and Bishop Brian scores every time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Bishop and Bishopess Tamaki. Nice hair, nice teeth, nice frock, nice suit, nice bank account, nice smiles. But not-so-nice food-bank, according to The New Zealand Herald
When it comes to investing money, there’s one born every minute. Or, in the case of Destiny Church’s ludicrous self-appointed &#8220;Bishop&#8221;, Brian Tamaki, there’s one Born Again every minute. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reflections on a cruel world that’s being overrun by brats and prats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ I can hit you, but you can't hit me, because I'm smaller than you, and I know my rights. Dreamstime.com
There is nothing quite like the careful application of pain to deter young people from inflicting physical suffering upon others. The best result can be expected when well-intentioned and maturely measured punishment is firmly applied [...]]]></description>

		<title>If you insist on a bargain, be prepared to live in the world’s basement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New Zealanders have a quaint but misplaced pride in the idea of “make do, and mend”. They call it The Number 8 Fencing Wire Theory. The trouble is that Number 8 fencing wire is hard to find these days. It’s been replaced by much thinner, stronger and better quality high-tensile steel fencing wire. And the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Telecomplications: Is it a train? Is it a plane? No, it’s an immobile phone operator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Name a formerly State-owned company, now &#8220;privatised&#8221;, that treats its customers, suppliers and staff with mind-boggling disdain – overcharging the former and intimidating the latter, while trying to do everything on the cheap.
We’re talking about British Airways, whose fabulous Lakeside HQ near Heathrow boasts a stream running right through the interior and beside the cafeteria. [...]]]></description>

		<title>It’s blatantly racist, but with the Ora of respectability</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Experts say that by 2050, the Maori population will have outstripped that of other ethnic groups and this will render Waitangi Treaty disputes irrelevant. Other statistics prove that there will be but one super-fit tribe called the Ngati Khaki, and everyone will own everything, including the foreshore and seabed, the fish, the minerals, the oil, [...]]]></description>

		<title>How I’m being screwed by greedy people obsessed with bums and teats</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There’s much current debate about punishing people perceived to be well off by the pathologically envious, but I have a gripe about the potential attacks on rental property owners, given that not all of us own a string of houses entirely funded by mortgages and making losses that we can offset against tax. I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Going from Iraq to ruin: The oft-repeated history of lying politicians</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ Everyone admits that it was wrong-headed, except the powerful people who kicked it off
There are few sights uglier than that of a Scottish lawyer on the make, as Tony Blair showed during his six-hour defence of the indefensible before the Chilcott-led Iraq Inquiry. According to Wikipedia, Edinburgh-born Anthony Charles Lynton Blair is descended from [...]]]></description>

		<title>When they steal or destroy your land, what&#8217;s left to stand on, or for?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let us briefly leave the fraught and disputed foreshore and seabed of Aotearoa and visit the Moscow, the river that flows through Russia’s capital city. Back in the 1950s, when Russia was under a Communist dictatorship and private property was outlawed, an area on the river’s far bank was given to peasants to grow food. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Sue Bradford, who always knew what was good for you
The only favour that never-elected Green MP Sue Bradford did for New Zealanders (before she spat the dummy and threw the teddy) was to prove beyond doubt that when the Green Party suggests or supports or opposes anything, its stand will be wrong and economically [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ What the fox going on? Reynard is surprised by a cold snap in Britain
Over a pint, Rudolph complained: “Just how short can a human bean’s memory span be?” This mortal frailty has allowed all sorts of self-appointed experts to regularly recycle scares ranging from imminent ice ages or guaranteed incineration to warnings that cover [...]]]></description>
