stupid boy has had a very lazy and leisurely week, the beach is tommorows to do list (paua/drone fishing), fresh venison was yesterdays job :). the life of an unemployed bum is pretty sweet, i can see why you chose it as an early retirement career.
the beaches here are occupied by land whales and not the sexy fuck toys that frequent those nelson beaches hunty.

Worse, perhaps he has popped his clogs and gone to Heaven.
Hell no, that’s not probable. More than likely dancing with the devil if that’s happened.

maybe hes run outve politicians and mayors to hate and list all of their flaws and things that ticked him off?

anyways the booze thing well between mrs sb and a few mates that have given it up over the past year or so they must account for a good chunk of it.
my mate was a 24 of beer and a few rums EVERY day after work, hes been sober well over 2 yrs now. mrs sb is 10days away from 1 year, crazy the change in our lives/marriage etc i now have back the lovely (but still crazy) woman i married 13yrs ago.

its a good thing, booze is the most destructive drug in nz and its legal and shops selling it are prolific. i think the drop in consumption is mainly due to cost of living and not much spare coin esp for the younger folk and not cuz kiwis are being more responsible drinkers. if economy and wages improve then i think the booze consumption will grow again.

i think the main reason is that politicians love to drink, if parliament had more stoners then it would probs be legal too.
back in the moonshine days the mcrae family from gore made some of the best moonshine in nz, their booze regularly made it to the desks of the prime minister and politicians not as bribes but upon request. even tho it was illegal and the moonshiners got jailed those responsible for overseeing those laws still consumed said products.

Airlines: When Ōhakea will be available 24/7 for biggest aircraftA long-awaited change will make the Ōhakea Air Force base available full-time for the world’s biggest passenger aircraft.
It is a move airlines have been pushing for, and the minister responsible for aviation has agreed to make it a priority.
An extended air traffic control service is expected to be operational within 18 months.
New air traffic control staff will be recruited and trained, which will cost $4.57 million over two years, Associate Minister of Transport James Meager said today.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/companies/airlines/airlines-when-ohakea-will-be-available-247-for-biggest-aircraft/BDD5QQCF3ZCKZHRHQLUN4RFYV4/

Well overdue, given the Air Force has a tiny number of non-combatant planes.
It should be made into a fully-fledged airport for overseas travellers.

Be really good as a freight hub as well for freight for the lower NI.

In my e mail this morning was this which I welcome. I am sick of this Te Reo bullshit and the morons trying to push it doen our throats:

There’s something revealing about the meltdown over Winston Peters’ English Language Bill.
Put the pitchforks down.
No one is banning te reo Māori.
No one is scrapping bilingual signs.
No one is rolling back language revitalisation.
All Peters is doing is saying this: English should be formally recognised in law as an official language of New Zealand.
That’s it.
And yet Chlöe Swarbrick calls it “bullshit.” The Greens react like he’s declared cultural war.
Why?
English is the language our laws are written in.
It’s the language judges deliver verdicts in.
It’s how Parliament operates.
It’s how most Kiwis speak at home and at work.
Recognising that reality isn’t oppression. It’s honesty.
Here’s the truth: this isn’t really about language. It’s about politics.
For a lot of New Zealanders, rightly or wrongly, there’s a feeling that English is being sidelined in official spaces. They see government departments using Māori names exclusively. They hear more te reo without translation. They feel the pace of change is fast.
Now, let’s be clear: te reo does not dominate daily life. It never has. It’s a handful of words, signage, greetings.
But perception drives politics.
Peters understands that. He’s delivering on a coalition agreement promise that’s been sitting there for two years. He’s signalling to his voters: English matters too.
And when the Greens explode in outrage, it proves his point for him.
Most Kiwis are sitting there thinking: why is this controversial?
We are an English-speaking Western democracy. That doesn’t erase Māori culture. It doesn’t threaten te reo. Both can coexist. They already do.
The real debate should be about fairness in policy, cost of living, healthcare, crime. Not whether acknowledging English in law is somehow an attack on identity.
If you think the bill is unnecessary, fine. Argue that.
But acting like it’s cultural sabotage? That’s theatre.
And every time the reaction looks hysterical, Peters gets stronger

The Real New Zealand News  · Follow
Jacinda Ardern is getting absolutely DRAGGED on X right now. Good to see some Utu dished out.
Over the last week (Feb 18-25 2026), the former NZ PM’s 2022 clown show – claiming “free speech is a weapon of war” and pushing censorship as “protecting democracy” – has lit the timeline on fire. Top posts roasting her for tyranny, COVID dictatorship, and bankrupting the country are exploding with massive engagement.
The stats on the hate? Brutal: Viral posts from accounts like Dinesh D’Souza and others hitting 25,000+ likes, 6,000+ reposts, 1M+ views in days – all calling her rhetoric straight-up tyranny and demanding she shut her own mouth.
Multiple clips of her free-speech meltdown racking up 8,000–11,000 likes each, with thousands of replies piling on: “She’s a totalitarian dictator,” “most hated woman in NZ,” “should be in prison for the mandates and debt.”
Kiwi users flooding in with hundreds to thousands of likes per post: “She bankrupted the nation,” “forced experimental vaccines,” “divided the country,” “can’t even walk the streets here without getting heckled.” One straight-up: “Jacinda Ardern you are nothing but a Liar who poisoned the people.”
Semantic search for criticism pulls dozens of fresh posts from the week labeling her a “morally bankrupt tyrant,” “narcissistic sociopath,” “communist predator” who wrecked the economy and soul of NZ.
Engagement in the hundreds to thousands per thread.
Bottom line: Tens of thousands of people (and millions of views) are actively dragging this failed leader across X. The negativity isn’t fringe – it’s mainstream backlash from Kiwis who lived through her reign of terror and the world finally catching on. Ardern’s “kindness” mask is off, the world’s laughing, and the timeline is eating her alive.
Keep the receipts coming – this one’s never living it down.

comment image World first! CT scanners have uncovered hidden quake activity in Hamilton.

comment image No longer confined to hospitals, they’ve scanned sediment cores extracted from 20,000-year-old lakes in the Hamilton Basin.

And the results? Big!

The beauty of the scanners is that they allowed the team to view seismites – layers of liquefied volcanic ash – in 3D form, accurately measure their dimensions, and uncover the earth’s secrets.

comment image The scans show that at least four active faults in the wider Hamilton-Hauraki area have produced a minimum five earthquakes over the past 15,700 years. Three of those were magnitude seven or greater, with two occurring in the past 1,800 years.

The previously hidden but now uncovered faults include Kūkūtāruhe and Te Tātua ō Wairere faults in the Hamilton lowlands and the Te Puninga and Kerepehi faults in the Hauraki Plains. The scans also point to a previously unrecognised fault near Te Awamutu.

comment image Armed with their CT scanners, scientists and geologists can now detect and date large prehistoric earthquakes even when the faults are completely buried.

Covid-19: Italy exceeds 30,000 deaths from coronavirus
https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/europe/300008811/covid19-italy-exceeds-30000-deaths-from-coronavirus

Actually the Italian deaths reached 135,000 before the Italian govt issued a retraction, saying that the actual figure was around 7,500. All the other 127,500 deaths were normal deaths but “tested positive” for Covid.
Between 630,000 and 740,000 die annually in Italy.

And like other countries, if older people got Covid in 2020, they were “written off” i.e. deemed “not treatable” and either left to die without any treatment, or given the equivalent of Midazolam (in the UK) to drop their clogs.

None of which was reported by the media.

And the 7,500 were “rebranded” flu deaths or in the above mentioned “written off” category.

Why do we own Air NZ, asks David Seymour after $59m lossThe deputy prime minister says Government should consider selling off its majority stake in Air New Zealand, after the airline reported a substantial loss.
Air New Zealand has reported a loss before taxation of $59 million for the first half of the 2026 financial year.
The net loss after taxation was $40 million, the carrier announced on Thursday.
The result was driven by ongoing global engine maintenance delays, a slower than expected recovery in domestic demand, rising aviation system costs and a weaker New Zealand dollar, according to Air New Zealand.

Copying and pasting from a Good Oil post

“Just when I thought the NZ Medical Council could not become more unfit and improper, they took it as a challenge to do this —
“The Medical Council (will) tell doctors to advance Māori equity, dismantle ‘power imbalances’.

“Documents circulated to doctors this week show the Medical Council is consulting on a new statement requiring practitioners to actively advance “hauora Māori” and address “unfair systems and power imbalances” within the health sector. “

My GP was griping about this racist bullshit “equity” for specials way back when Labour first announced it. As he said it should be based on medical need not on patients race.

Michael Laws nailed the medical council.

Luxon is out of his depth politically.

You mean like the unfair system that meant Mrs Saggy had to pay $60 for a jab because she refused to say she was maori to get if for free?

Starmer is attempting to stop the “humble address” of UK Parliamentry opposition having the right to request the King to instruct the PM.

Starmer seeks to cover up his scandals
Jacob Rees-Mogg (Conservative Party)

The cover-up of a scandal can sometimes be more scandalous than the scandal itself, and it seems that this is exactly what we are seeing with Starmer’s attempts to thwart the will of Parliament by not releasing the files relating to Mandelson’s appointment. …

Ever wonder why announcements of announcements are about all we hear from our politicians? Why hot air & feathers have replaced action? Of how our whole political system now runs on PR, not on governing? This article explores how “we ended up spending more than almost any other rich country on infrastructure while our pipes, roads and hospitals fall apart around us.”

https://www.democracyproject.org.nz/p/democracy-briefing-how-comms-driven

#. “…..the Beehive’s “comms grid”, he shows how that very grid – the machinery of political communications – is what has broken the system”

#. “the government always “set the news agenda with a steady drumbeat of positive stories”, while the opposition was left trying to shout from the sidelines.”

#. “The people who now wield enormous influence over what governments say and do are often former journalists, political editors and senior producers who have migrated into the Beehive and then on to corporate PR.”

The basics get deferred while the glitz & glamour are “announced”. Good politics – maybe. But as management or governance it is ruinous!

Winston Peters celebrates end to Christopher Luxon’s beloved quarterly action plans
New Zealand First leader Winston Peters has celebrated the end of the quarterly action plans of which Prime Minister Christopher Luxon was so fond.
“Thank heavens for that,” the chuckling Peters told Ryan Bridge TODAY.
Meanwhile, National minister Chris Bishop responded to a social media post about the plans coming to an end by saying, “I believe the correct term is ‘goneburger’”.
One person not celebrating is deputy Prime Minister David Seymour, who said they were a “great platform for Act to show its disproportionate policy influence on this Government”.
“All I would say is when you have more policies to put in them, you quite enjoy them as we did.”

So that’s the end of progress then. Its a typical National Party behavoir.
Holding people’s feet to the fire was too tough for the lazy old cunt.

All talk and no do.
Has been for 40 years. Unless ya brown.

  • Only politicians can create law that allow themselves to be so well cared for financially.
  • New Zealand really REALLY need to get public referendums to become binding.
  • Next election please start telling all the candidates that you will only vote for them if they agree to make referendums binding.
  • Warn them that if they do not agree you will vote for the most likely candidate that could defeat them.

I happen to agree with you but direct democracy is not without its detractors. Understandably many are politicians.

One such windbag, Edmund Burke, who was a Whig MP from 1766 to 1794 & is still revered by modern conservatives. He pontificated:

…..”Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays instead of serving you if he sacrifices it to your opinion.”…..

They really think that they know better.
