Put that on a bus billboard

A recent campaign by atheists in the UK told us that there’s no God and we should stop worrying and enjoy our lives. Here’s a guy who’s done the opposite. At the start of this year, Dr Arnold reduced his hours at his South Dunedin practice to pursue his dream of a free health centre. [...]

One for the Road…

However, he was in good company in the house, not to mention the thousands of New Zealanders who’ve arranged their affairs to maximise their various government payments. The Auditors report [...]

Cults…
