Work, work, work
By Chris Trotter*“Bills” by LunchMoney Lewis, must be the all-time strangest theme-song ever chosen by a National Party leader. It simply wouldn’t occur to him that LunchMoney’s rap was a tribute to his own escape from the bills ordinary people gotta pay, and the “work, work, work” they “gotta do to fill the mouths they gotta feed. The National Party he came to lead was a huge organisation, filled with people very like himself. The experience of “The War” bound National Party members together in those days – as it did Labour’s. In the accompanying video, the artist makes clear his scepticism that the “work, work, work” of ordinary people will ever get them out from under all those bills.

Rugby: All Blacks frustrated over ugly Springboks incident
Springboks wing Kurt-Lee Arendse received a red card late in the All Blacks' 26-10 defeat after wiping Barrett out in the air while he was attempting to field a high ball. Despite the initial alarm, All Blacks coach Ian Foster is yet to rule Barrett out of the second test at Ellis Park. Foster also expressed frustrations with a similar incident involving Arendse, who faces a lengthy suspension for his red card, earlier in the match on Jordie Barrett. "It's pretty disappointing because it happened in the 10th minute as well and they deemed that was fair," Foster said. Caleb Clarke talks to an assistant referee in the All Blacks' defeat to South Africa.

Kiwis sharpen axe for Foster
The New Zealand Herald suggested that Foster will be asked by New Zealand Rugby to step down, with the embattled All Blacks set to drop to fifth on World Rugby’s Test rankings after a record-breaking 26-10 loss at Mbombela Stadium. Foster was already under scrutiny after the Ireland series review by NZ Rugby that saw two of his assistant coaches – John Plumtree and Brad Mooar – fired. NZ Rugby have refused to back Foster beyond the two Rugby Championship Tests in South Africa, and Crusaders boss Scott Robertson is tipped as an obvious choice to replace Foster if New Zealand fail to improve. “New Zealand Rugby chief executive Mark Robinson was in Mbombela for the Test, but it’s thought he will head back to Aotearoa before the second Test in Johannesburg next weekend. “This week, therefore, will be crucial as NZ Rugby weighs up its next move on Foster.

MEDIAWATCH: A salute to the columnist courage of Damien Grant
I want to take a moment to salute the courage of my weekly sparring partner on NZs number 1 weekly political podcast (that isn’t funded by NZ on Air), Damien Grant. The vast, vast, vast majority of mainstream columnists and journalists in this country have very clear colour inside the lines rules of acceptable debate and slavish acceptance of whatever the militant middle class identity politics aesthetics will allow. His blistering critique of Oranga Tamariki and their obscenely racist reverse uplifts policy was barely touched by anyone else because it ruthlessly challenged woke identity politics, likewise his review of the post #metoo crucification of James Gardner-Hopkins which exploded with allegations the law firm was a sexual harassment factory when the actual sad details of what really happened were far, far, far, far, far, far less egregious. His latest column today asks basic questions about our need to blame racism for everything, which has always been a bugbear of mine. TDB Recommends NewzEngine.comHe didn’t get a nomination for best columnist this year, and quite frankly that’s a badge of honour when you check out his competition.

Why this years National Conference seems so desperate
The Blue Dragons (the Chinese faction of the National Party), are frustrated with the current Government’s siding with America and want more international policy but with the current donations scandal in Court, they can’t get any traction. The low wage economy that National and ACT live for is the problem here, not extra days off that attempt to provide better work conditions. It’s like National are the Dr and they’ve suggested amputating the body away from the Tumour so the Tumour can keep growing! ‘Tax relief for hard working Kiwis’ – The average worker will get less than $1000 in National tax cuts, Luxon will take home $18 000 in tax cuts! This conference is coming across as desperate, because that’s what it is.

The Sunday Essay: 27 Teeth
Little white shadows in my head, far more than there should’ve been, crowding every available nook and cranny. Professor Meikle held his hands up and the dental assistant removed his gloves for him. “Look at all these teeth they took out of you.”After I’d healed from the surgery, we went back to Professor Meikle. At every appointment with Professor Meikle, he seemed disappointed – there were too many teeth. “OK, so you see these teeth here?” He pointed at my four wisdom teeth, only two of which had broken through.

All time low: All Blacks plummet down world rankings
England have poked their nose ahead of the All Blacks in the world rugby rankings, with beleaguered Ian Foster's side now lying fifth. The Springboks' margin of victory at Mbombela proved crucial, sending the All Blacks to their lowest ever ranking point. Under the world ranking system, there is an extra penalty if the margin of victory exceeds 15 points. So the 26 - 10 win has left the All Blacks at an all-time low, parked behind Ireland, France, South Africa and England. A Wales Online headline put it: "Dominant South Africa compound New Zealand's misery as All Blacks drop to all-time low."

Two more men arrested over 'sickening' cemetery damage
Two men in their 20s have been arrested after lawns and freshly-dug plots at a Waikato graveyard were ripped up by hoons earlier this week. Cambridge police have since arrested another two men, both aged 24. One is due to appear in the Hamilton District Court on August 11 on charges of intentional damage, interfering with a grave, sustained loss of traction and perverting the course of justice. The second is due to appear in the court on August 16 on charges of intentional damage, interfering with a grave and sustained loss of traction. The 19-year-old who was earlier arrested over the incident appeared briefly in court on Friday, charged with intentional damage, interfering with a grave and sustained loss of traction on a public road.

'Poking the bear': John Key criticises Pelosi's visit to Taiwan
Former Prime Minister John Key said US Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan this week was "reckless" and "dangerous". Key said he visited Taiwan as a junior backbencher in 2003, but he would no longer visit as a former prime minister. "I would never have gone as prime minister and I would never have sent a minister," Key said. Key said the relationship with China had "deteriorated considerably" since his time as prime minister in 2008. I think we could do it a lot better together and achieve better outcomes," Key said.

Media Fail To Debate Social Issue, Again - Family First
The analysis looked at 135 New Zealand-based media articles and opinion pieces as they appeared online during the two weeks immediately following the decision. 61% of all Op-Eds were Pro-Abortion biased, with not a single Op-Ed presenting a Pro-Life position. the newest radio station in the media - Today FM - was the most biased outlet with a 100% Pro-Abortion coverage of the issue. "It is disappointing that media outlets pushed one side of the debate so biasedly. The media should report the full debate in a balanced way and leave the public to come to their own conclusion.
