Nice leather bag, Waikato G…😉
The reason I do not like daylight saving. 6 and now dark with sun not due to 7.05.
Funnily enough the light of my life arose at 7.04 – a far more magnificent sight than any sunrise.
mine arose probs half hour before i even woke up. the joys of being a sleepy dad and just let mum get the kids sorted for school/bus in the morning!
i noticed last night how much earlier it was getting dark (bit after 9pm it was dark, was 11pm not that long ago), im never up early enough at the mo to see what time it gets light but im guessing we’re currently losing several minutes per day.
It’s 6.25 and the sky is changing colour here. Morning.
Still as black as Jack Johnson’s arsehole here in the darkest king Country. I do not think there is a sun any more.
How do you know Jack Johnsons…never mind.
Hunty, if you don’t know who jack Johnson was, well you may be too young.
I know him. I was just asking how Ancient knew what colour Jack’s a-hole was🤷♂️
I had to google Jack Johnson, a singing boxer!
Was he a stripper down King Country way in later years?

Why Net-Zero Leads to Blackouts | Kathryn Porter
Peter McCormack
Kathryn Porter explains why energy is civilisation and how the UK grid may be heading toward rationing and rolling blackouts within the next decade. …
Where Britain goes, we follow!
Is following the same catastrophic policy ignorance of other countries failures or global planning Sootz?
If you haven’t noticed many countries are currently having massive sewage breaches discharging into waterways. The latest into the Potomac River in WDC. Keep the people unsettled.
Are the yanks into log walking or is that Canadians!
Morning, all you early risers.
And I’m not talking about hunty’s totem pole.
Nice day here in that bay, sun’s not quite up.
cool but going to 27 today.
The University (so-called) of Waikato, whose Vice Chancellor on $700k+ is always complaining they have no money, are running a fun day today for the students.
It’s being run downtown in our fancy playground with all the trimings including lifeguards and ambos, etc.
Just to welcome the new students.
There wasterills know how to waste taxpayers’ and students’ money
There’s a job for Seymour. Cut their subsidies and student loans, which are a blight on ex-students’ lives and cause grief for the taxpayer.
That after they have just been given long-term property leases and don’t even pay rates to the council. That needs fixing as well.
how rude
You have no right not to be offended.
Being blunt is not rude.
Its saying it like it is.
Gloves are off!

Chippie🐍 is a fool with a glib slogan
On of his flunkies, would have to think it up for him.
A deal to build a $1.5 billion Trump International Hotel and Tower, including shops and a beach club, on the Gold Coast has been signed, marking the Trump brand’s first project in Australia.
Set to rise in the heart of Surfers Paradise, the six-star resort could become Australia’s tallest tower if built to the height developers have proposed.

Why retire in Thailand when there is now a much more exciting alternative. From Sovereign Man email.
“Just imagine how tranquil your retirement could be in… sunny Afghanistan!
You could wake up in the morning to the pleasant sound of celebratory gunfire… then artfully dodge landmines left behind by not one, but two different superpower invasions on your way to witness the day’s beheading.
You could cap off the afternoon spelunking through mountain caves where you might bump into actual jihadists, then end the day with with a stroll through a war-torn city’s desperate poverty.
If this sounds ideal to you, then you’re in luck! The Taliban now offers an investment visa for foreigners to obtain residency in Afghanistan.
This is a real thing; earlier this month, Afghanistan’s Economic Commission approved a proposal to offer foreign investors residency permits of up to ten years. Put your money into Afghan mining, construction, or energy, and you too can call Kabul home.”
For those for whom the hedonistic gay life of Thailand’s ladyboys still lingers there’s always Kabul’s Bacha bazi dancers. 🙂

Calls for a much needed “castle law” are being heard loud & clear in Queensland as the Australian Party milk growing frustration about rampant crime. From https://www.noticer.news/queensland-castle-law-cairns-crime/
#. “If someone’s entering your home with the intent of harm, they have no right being there, and you should have the full protection of the law in doing what you have to to get them out,”
It’s in response to a a parliamentary petition signed by a record 110,000 Queenslanders. Proponents have figures relating to Cairns where:
#. “the aboriginal crime-ravaged city was the fourth most dangerous in Australia after Townsville, Rockhampton and Yarra in Victoria, but the worst for property crime.”
Say what you like about the West Islanders but they’re less likely to tip-toe around the issues of race when identifying those who are actually committing crime than we are. Ditto for demanding solutions. The introduction of an absolute right of self defence would make assault & burglary a far more risky pastime than it is now.
And for today’s chocolate fish! Where in Godzone would such a castle law most improve the life of our citizens?

Immigration is once again shaping up as a hot political issue leading up to November’s General Election, but a twist this time around is that emigration – the number of people leaving the country long-term – is likely to be just as big an issue as immigration – the number of people arriving.
The issue of high levels of emigration was most recently raised by Labour leader Chris Hipkins in his State of the Nation speech on February 23.
“Every week, another 2000 New Zealanders leave the country because they can’t see a future here,” Hipkins said.
“Nearly 240,000 people have left the country in the last two years,” he added.
What Hipkins didn’t say is that the current great exodus of people leaving New Zealand long-term actually began under the last Labour Government, and really built up a full head of steam in 2023, during Labour’s final year when Hipkins himself was Prime Minister.
According to Statistics NZ, the number of people leaving long-term increased steadily under the last Labour Government, rising from 54,600 in 2020, to 70,409 in 2021, 94,540 in 2022 and 101,932 in 2023.
That trend continued under the current National-led government, with long-term departures rising to 118,525 in 2024 and 119,814 in 2025.
The most concerning component* of that exodus is the number of New Zealand citizens leaving the country long-term. This also increased steadily under the last Labour government, rising from 15,334 in 2020, to 65,792 in 2023.
It then increased slightly under the current national-led Government to 67,221 in 2024 before dropping back slightly to 66,309 in 2025.
Looking back a bit further (the Stats NZ figures go back to 2001), neither Labour nor National have exactly covered themselves in glory when it comes to outflows of New Zealand citizens.
https://www.interest.co.nz/public-policy/137340/current-exodus-new-zealand-citizens-overseas-began-earnest-under-labour-while
so you would have to say that neither of the majors is capable of being in Govt.
If Hipkins had a brain he would realise that most of the 240,000 left because of him and his policies.
And his bitch!!!

Peters’ Language Bill OUTRAGES Swarbrick: Why Greens Co-Leader Is Wrong
Winston Peters has read the room, and he is putting his money where his mouth is. His new bill finally recognizes English as an official language in the New Zealand statute, but the opposition from Chloe Swarbrick and the Greens has been breathless. Duncan Garner breaks down wh …
Wrong, he is making a noise with his mouth that he thinks will continue his sinecure at Parliament.
The useless prick just gave away another pile of money to Ukraine. i.e. that’s was mopey we could use for hospitals or helping our own citizens who need help, and there are plenty of them.
It was money that could reduce the tax rate on companies for a start.
Not hit the papers yet, but on the radio.
The Stuff article on the bill’s debate quoted Swarbrick as saying:
…..”“The English language is not under threat we are literally speaking and debating in it right now……..She said the government was trying to “invent an oppression”.”……
Invent an oppression? Coming from an advocate for a racial (racist) grouping who have won gold, silver & bronze in the Oppression Olympics that’s a bit strong!
It’s worth it if stirring up Chloe is the only thing it achieves. With her love of terrorists maybe she should give Afghanistan a go, I’ll chip in for the airfare.
or the parachute….
Cheaper to tip off the taiban that it is actually a man in drag. They will do the rest and us a favour

Necrophilia isn’t common but sex with roadkill is hitting it out of the park!
is it necrophilia, beastiality or both?
i really hope he has some sweet drugs to blame because if he was sober doing that shit it just makes him even more fucking minced…. and its a pretty fucking minced thing to do even if he was off his head on drugs
Necrophilia if just dead .Bestiality if dead, but full of maggots.
Either way it’s flogging a dead deer.

Would seem that resurrection is occuring in NZ, when they pop up into the chemist for their meds, as after all it seemed that they had been “hacked to death”.
Some users’ information had been changed, including to say they were deceased.

“The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated” —– author Mark Twain in 1897,
Stuff have covered the story too. They sought outside comment:

ManageMyHealth are/were a pack of incompetent fools. These clowns must be really bad.
Cryptoasset investors targeted
On investigations, I’m hearing noises that transfer pricing reviews are increasing, but a key focus area is cryptoassets. Inland Revenue noted in its last annual report that it had several cases going through its dispute process, which involved “tens of millions of dollars”. It seems to be taking a fairly aggressive approach.
A client has shown me a letter where Inland Revenue have said, “if you do not make a voluntary disclosure or contact me directly, I will assume that you have deliberately failed to correctly declare your cryptoasset income.”
The tone of this letter was really quite surprising to me. Generally speaking, when Inland Revenue is considering investigations and audits, it is never as aggressive as that. More often the questions/letters that come in are along the lines of “Are you sure about that? Maybe you might want to check and come back to us.” Whatever Inland Revenue’s tone cryptoasset investors and traders should expect enquiries.

Can anyone confirm reports of the Boss having his finger & toenails pulled in the basement of IRD’s Hamilton office?
The boss has to pay terminal tax of 170K on april 7. To me it’s so wrong to pick on crypto.If I bought and sold property, the capital gain is not taxed. because this is classed as income I have to pay income tax.
If you buy any property with the intention of selling it for profit, then it’s subject to CGT. That’s always been the case.
so advocate for cgt on housing and make the tax system fairer.
gold n silver are the same and attract tax, are sharemarket gains taxed?
i think its right to tax crypto, why not? its just a broken and unfair tax system to blame if theres loopholes to exploit.
i used to be dead against more tax and esp cgt but i now believe something needs to be done and with zero loopholes eg. not even exemptions for family home, farms etc mainly so theres zero grey areas.
land value tax aka georgism is the way i see it being most fair and no way for people to dodge paying their fair share.
the bonus of that is income tax should be able to be cut/abolished altogether or at the very least a high tax free threshold, your crypto income would them be tax free unless you were making good returns eg. over 150k per year.
but yea, we have cowards and spineless fucks for politicians so itll never happen and esp nats and act will protect the housing ponzi from being taxed.
“i think it’s right to tax crypto,”
Wash yee mouth out..
Quite right. The IRD should lay off the magic money men & concentrate on the superannuated shitstains whose fetish for rental housing has driven up the cost of entry level home ownership & out of the futures of our grandkids.
Greedy old cunts should be taxed into the grave.
Fuk ya grandkids. They can work for it as I did.
