Ian Wishart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ian Wishart is a New Zealand journalist, author and editor of Investigate magazine.
Wishart is a conservative Christian and his views come from the Right politically, strongly attacking the current New Zealand government as Marxist; and criticising homosexual rights and sex education advocates for making factually incorrect statements in support of their various initiatives.[1] He is an evolution denialist, he also argues that evolutionary theory is being used as fodder for a secular campaign against Christianity, whilst the alleged weaknesses in evolutionary theory are not getting the same scrutiny.
Wishart claims that his book, Eve's Bite (2007), is the most politically incorrect book ever published in New Zealand. In the book, Wishart argues that New Zealand society is being "poisoned" and the Western world as a whole undermined "by seductive and destructive philosophies and social engineering that within the space of a generation have intellectually crippled the greatest civilisation the world has ever seen". His most recent book is Absolute Power, detailing Helen Clark's years as Prime Minister.
Wishart studied journalism at Wellington Polytechnic, graduating in 1982. He has worked for Radio Windy, Radio Hauraki, Radio Pacific, TV3 and Television New Zealand. He started a book publishing company, Howling At The Moon, in 1995. [2]
He has married twice with two children from his first marriage and several from his second. He and his second wife, Heidi, are Anglicans. [2]
