The best thing Judith Collins said during her first press conference as National Party leader came right at the end: “I think it might be time for a drink.”

Here we had intimations at least that the prim, prissy, prudish neo-Puritanism, the Woke-Fascism unleashed on the nation by the Marxist Jacinda Ardern might have met its match.

Equally encouraging, Collins did not disavow her long-standing nick-name, “Crusher.”

“I am hoping that the National Party will collectively crush the other lot come September 19,” was all she had to say about that.

“Crusher Collins” is exactly whom we need right now—as long as she is Crusher Collins and doesn’t succumb to pressure from the dripping-wets within her caucus who will try to make her as woefully Woke as they are.

What she does need to disavow is Communist China. She should undertake to take us out of the free trade deal with that abominable totalitarian regime. Let’s get back to “Made in New Zealand”!

She should disavow United Nations sovereignty over New Zealand, and restore it to New Zealand.

She should disavow the Global Migration Compact and pledge to withdraw New Zealand from it.

She should disavow the cancerous Cancel Culture currently poisoning public life, throttling free speech and destroying the lives of independent thinkers. She should undertake not to countenance any new “hate speech” laws and to remove existing laws that proscribe Thought Crimes. She should endorse David Seymour’s bill along those lines.

She must promise to crush the Wuhan Virus legislation which gives unbridled dictatorial powers to “Enforcement Officers” appointed by “Comrade” Ardern. Crusher said at the time of its passing that had National attempted such a thing it would have been crucified and rightly so. Therefore let us be done with it!

She should promise to crush Wokery in our schools and universities in particular, which have become not centres of learning and vigorous debate but the very crucibles of indoctrination and mindless conformity to a hysterical moronnial mob. She should explicitly call out the Woke-racist New Zealand School of Music for its insidious proposal to “de-center Whiteness.” She must go on asking, as she did again on Morning Report today, “Well is there? Is there something wrong with being white?”

She added to that, “I think most New Zealanders aren’t worried about things like culture wars.” Most New Zealanders aren’t, but they are being forced to pretend to acquiesce to this evil by the grotesque Woke elitists who seemingly run everything now.

It’s redundant to promise a strong economy. It’s a given that Crusher would deliver a strong economy versus the basket case that the Marxists are turning it into. But a strong economy cannot long be sustained under a crippling cultural Yoke of Woke.

So, Crusher Collins, you go, girl! Retain your testicles, even as the “men” around you have none!
