In respect of the ‘Maori’ (Actually ONLY Tainui) ‘Queen’ adorning New Zealand currency, aside from questionable legality as the ‘Queen’ is an honorary title with the bearer having no actual power outside her own tribe and it’s close affiliates, doing-so would do nothing to promote ‘peace’ between the tribes, and be very assured that Tainui (Who are viewed by some as being at the bottom of the tribal pecking order) would crow about her ‘promotion’ unmercifully.
Politically, putting such an image on any NZ currency would NOT be a good idea – which means that labour, hoping to attract the ‘Maori’ vote away from TPM, would probably do it given the chance…
They would also need to use an actual representation of her rather than the sanitised photo-shopped version above. It hasn’t quite got her wonky eye correct.
Aaaaahhh but, but, Komata, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand in 1934 issued a One Pound Note with the image of the Second “Maori King” Te Tawhiao on it. That Bank Note was replace with the image of Jim Cook in 1940. Te Tawhaio remained for many years as the Watermark on NZ Currency.
So you watch the uppity Natives and liberal left supporters say the precedence has already been set and push hard for the image of this nothing to be put on the country’s currency.
The fact is as far as I am concerned, the current Tainui Bint who masquerades as a Queen, is not my Queen.
Saw one of those pound notes last month.
A friend has a number of pound notes and is going to sell them.
TAH
Thank you – I’d forgotten bout Tawhiao, so yes, the precedent has indeed been set, and with that being so, the push to put the Tainui variant will inevitably be made at some stage.
Agree about the .masquerade’ BTW.
We could try putting Chloe on the note. It would do wonders for the economy, people wouldn’t be able to get rid of them fast enough. The ironic part is it would be the only useful thing she’s ever done.
She would hasten the arrival of digital money.
I would hope people did not use notes for disgusting acts.
Thats why they stopped putting images of Politicians on stamps. To many good people spat on the wrong side.
a chloe stamp would love a good licking
why not chloe on the 50? then at the drug house the deros can ask for a “chloe bag”.
willie jackson on the 100 so he can be admired by all the iwi bros when they open their breifcases of cash.
rawiri on the 5, cuz hes cheap, nasty and pain in the arse
and of course dougal is correct, only dead ppl on our currency so lets cross our fingers (and nasska can pray)

Ngai Puhi are at the bottom of the heap but both are not particularly liked.
Come to think of it none of them like one another.
Their essential problem that’s never going away, is that they never know who in years gone by, ate a bit of whom and who screwed whom so they really don’t know who to like and not like and then add in all the whites mans her and he and other ethnics and really they are a bunch of mongrels that clearly have a genetic dispora like the rest of the world travellers. .

And that’s a very firm NO from me.

IAG exposes new customers to bluntest risk-based pricing, as new CEO wants to discourage investment in flood-prone propertyNew Zealand’s largest general insurer, IAG, is continuing to ease its customers into paying premiums that truly reflect the flood risk their properties face.
It doesn’t want to shock its riskiest customers with big premium hikes in one go.
However, it is taking a blunter approach towards pricing flood risk when it comes to writing new policies.
IAG is being judicious with the new business it takes on, as it doesn’t want to encourage people to invest in hazardous properties that could become uninsurable in the future.
“Let’s stop digging that hole deeper,” IAG New Zealand’s new chief executive, Phil Gibson, told the Herald.
Like his predecessor, Gibson wanted the Government to take a coordinated and forward-looking approach towards reducing risks associated with natural hazards.
IAG has just released a report that identifies 42 ways for the Government to address gaps in the system, including preventing building in risky areas, coming up with a plan for managed retreat, and ensuring local councils are sufficiently funded to invest in risk reduction.
Gibson said New Zealand still had options, but the clock was ticking.
Gibson believed banks could start by focussing on the new loans they issued, much like IAG was applying more aggressive risk-based pricing to its new business than its existing customers.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/personal-finance/iag-exposes-new-customers-to-bluntest-risk-based-pricing-as-new-ceo-wants-to-discourage-investment-in-flood-prone-property/premium/DLYUJX2LSFBP3EO6I4QUBXA2Y4/
Just arrived in from Canada. Hmmm, more storms bla bla bla.
i think risk based pricing is excellent way to go, i think they should also offer cheaper options with exclusions for flooding in those flood prone areas.
as for managed retreat, yea nah fuck off with thst idea. thats fancy words for rate/taxpayer bailouts.
insurance should be pricing in full on redzoning/ managed retreats into preniums of the most riskiest of properties. its not our fucking problem, those buyers took risks and risk means sometimes you lose.
Simple in theory.
It would take a month to explain the situation following Gabrielle and the ins and outs around lack of maintenance by councils and the skull duggery that has gone on behind the scenes.
Our area should never have flooded to the extent it did.
Residents have been shafted and the truth has been snuffed out by authority.
What annoys me is that I had a meeting with the local MP and she wiped her hands of anything by saying it was Labour that made all the decisions.
RCR report that 5 marae are being given $130 m to relocate or adapt. To hell with everyone else.
and trump rekons a deal will be done in 2 or 3 days…. now hes back to threats and most likely bombing today. great “ceasefire” 🤣 he knew a deal wont be done but it gave his corrupt family and mates another opportunity to make millions on the markets.
wonder how much trump makes each time? seems he has better luck then nancy pelosi and hubby when it comes to picking winners.
i also rekon trump would demand more then “10% for the big guy”…. aw well impreachment and hopefully prison is only 6-8 months away 🙂
I’m putting you up for a Guinness Book Of Records citation as the World Leading Expert on all things Trump. The most lines written on the exploits and future of the World’s Greatest President.
If accepted I believe there may be another expert on everything, like your good self, who who will travel over from her new Sydney home to personally make the presentation of the Award. What an achievement, to be honoured by the only other person on this planet who can speak with such clarity, such perspicuity, intelligibility and comprehensibility that the World stops and listens when such pearls of wisdom are spread amongst the masses.
the corner of your lip must be sore! hooked a hooker phil.
if i reset my bait im sure i can get a rol or a fja
Nah, as soon as I see “orange retard” or “Trump”, I stop reading and downvote every one of your posts in the thread. 🙂
Like a lot of lefties his opinions are made up from a mix of other peoples opinions, straight out propaganda and deliberate mis-information. Mind you I guess that’s true to some degree to all of us.
seriously tho trump was preaching yesterday that a deal would be reached within 2-3days, even after the chopper went down.
now hes back to threats, bombings and no chance of a deal…. but i highly doubt a deal was close, it was just yet another move to manipulate markets.
what i posted above was all true, 100% correct except the final para was just my 2cents.
go look at his awsome trading record for the past 18mnths, he makes the pelosis look like rookies.
truuummmmppp!
jooooze!
“perspicuity”
Just had a trip to the dictionary 😆
Nice.
Helen Clark and Ruth Richardson critique MMP – has it been good or bad for New Zealand?https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/helen-clark-and-ruth-richardson-critique-mmp-has-it-been-good-or-bad-for-nz/premium/VLYA3JBIS5D2VDEICCTBWBPNCE/
long but worth a read.
I actually read it. Bottom line, NZ political system is fucked. Is there an alternative? No.
“Helen Clark and Ruth Richardson critique MMP”
Sorry old boy, it’s not worth reading. MMP is a Marxist construct. That’s what everyone needs to know.
Downvoted for paywalled link.
Failed Herald salesman doesn’t know when to give up.
Useless broke artist doesn’t want to pay for someone else’s work.
Typical Maori attitude.

You remain a whinger. Don’t want to read, pass on by.
No need for your attempt at “look at Me” on a daily basis.
But like a perpetual child, you need attention to make your day.
To repeat, MMP is a Marxist/Socialist construct. I’ve known that since high school, so many decades.
Given what transpired over the last 9 years I’m sure the penny would have dropped for most people.
Better with an anvil, rather than a penny!
clearly youhave fogotten how rotten 2 party rule was. But the discussion was about those arguments and frankly, I don’t care what your opinion is as it wasn’t the basis of the the article.
you can see “premium” in the link, that means paywall so no need to even bother clicking
Always their choice, so why complain?
Just another whinger.
If anyone really, really wants to read a paywalled item on the Herald there are add-ons available on Firefox and Chrome.
Personally, I try to avoid Herald and Stuff ‘journalism’.
The Herald in particular is upping its game and regardless, there is always something that you don’t, didn’t know.
I’ve got thousands of bookmarks and over 150 are news, including stuff that I never visit and herald I might visit once a month for 30 seconds, just to confirm they are still woke.
Neither stuff nor herald carry any relevant and in most cases truthful news.
When stuff or herald are baying for Hipkins and ex Labour stooges to be prosecuted for vaccine deaths and injuries, or demanding the Waitangi Tribunal to be scrapped, I’m sure I’ll hear about it.
In this life one cannot afford to be splattered all over the map and listen to every voice.
I used to use fremium but it doesn’t seem to work now. Do you have one that works for the odd occasion something is worth reading?
If you just type ‘firefox addon to get around herald paywall’ or whatever operating system you use, into google/duckduckgo etc it brings up the most used. I use the firefox one (NZHerald Premium Article Viewer)
I use that as well. Herald must employ morons to do their website.
Thanks 😊
The Labour Party’s policy drought is set to end with an announcement this morning in Auckland.
Labour leader Chris Hipkins, who has said the policy will be cost-of-living focused, is expected to make the announcement at a train station, indicating it will likely relate to public transport.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/labour-to-release-new-cost-of-living-policy-at-auckland-train-station/I6N6GZ3FGVF3LCRY4IQEGH6VYY/
Would some please go along and help make up the crowd? Where else would the prick find a crowd?
Is a rail station an appropriate place to rent a crowd?
Indeed, has he even got permission to do so? They should send the gendarmes to toss them off the platform.
So will he be arriving in the crown bmw limo to lecture us on the virtues of public transport?
No. He hoped on the train two stations down the line, (Devonport). Along with minders, security, minders and prettiest.
There is no train station in Devonport.
You sure. Maybe it wa in the news that they had one. sooty found it.
Yep. A wet!
11am – there won’t be anyone at the station, pity he didn’t do it during the morning rush where he may have been swept onto the tracks…
Is it wrong to hope for a derailment about where he’s standing? It will only take them two years to work out how it happened.
A man was riding the train into Auckland when suddenly everything started rocking violently.
People were being thrown out of their seats and luggage was flying everywhere. Then, as suddenly as it started, everything is back to the calm, smooth ride he was used to.
Everyone sorted themselves out and found seats again.
When the conductor next walked through the carriage the man asked him what had happened. The conductor replied “We hit a politician”
He couldn’t believe it. “You mean hitting a person cause that?!”
The conductor looked at him and explained ,“Well he was on the platform, but we got him anyways.”
People could soon be able to “click and collect” their prescription medicines like they do with groceries.
Associate Health Minister Casey Costello plans to introduce legislation to allow pharmacies to have e-lockers for people to pick up prescriptions, including after hours.
Medicines can currently only be picked up in-person at a pharmacy, picked by a person “reasonably acting” on a patient’s behalf or delivered to a patient by post.
A Ministry of Health briefing to Costello in March said e-lockers would be “particularly helpful” for people who have difficulty accessing pharmacies during opening hours.
It said access to prescription medicines can be more challenging for disabled people, people in rural areas and poorer people, and is important for older people and those with chronic medical conditions.
The briefing suggested the proposal could be introduced sooner than other pharmacy changes, something also suggested in a separate Cabinet paper.
Perhaps they could also allow pharmacies to sell products not controlled by the medical council and the Pharma that props the useless outfit up.
I’m unsure where an e-locker is a better option than being able to have your drugs sent by post if you are unable to access during opening hours. Rather than disreputable types hanging around ATMs will we now see them lurking at pharmacy e-lockers while some poor sod is trying to remember the access code?
When I was 11 &12 I worked for the local chemist and used to bike around my Christchurch area delivering prescriptions to people at their homes. I cannot remember now but I guess if no one was home it was left in the letterbox.
During Covid I had a repeat prescription delivered by a boy, probably not much older than 12, on his bike. I hadn’t asked for it, I think it was just the pharmacist providing a service and a way to get his kid out of the house.
That’s what my Mother thought.
What they don’t say is this would be good for another pandemic. All the plebs could receive their control doses and think it’s a good idea
Developing the mRNA vaccines in NZ so one can have the vaxx before the flue or pandemic arrives.
9th June 2026 … Scientists had long been exploring RNA technology as a way to make vaccines before it had it’s breakout appearance during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Since then, interest in the potential uses of RNA to make vaccines and disease treatments has bloomed.
In late 2023 a government-funded platform began work to enhance New Zealand’s capacity to design and make RNA.
Three years in, how is the platform going?

AI is proving to be so helpful in this sphere of research & development, speeding things up, so we can all be vaxxed.
They make it sound like it is so easy, as if everything is no problem, just a few trials, & it will all be tickety boo.
All by the very trusted & well managed by the systemic NZ Health, MedSafe, with anonymouse NZ Medicines Assessment Advisory Committee (MAAC), as it awaits further opportunistic times.
E locker could be used to get the jab during a pandemic, open locker and machine swings out jabs you anywhere, arm, head arse. Get that up ya!
That too, but actually there is no reason why it can’t be done. After all if you order your groceries at Woollies the chemist can put them with your groceries. Don’t know if they do but its entirely conceivable. Not everyone has 5-hour days with 3 left for shopping.
No reason why Uber can’t deliver them either. But not currently, although a chemist can in his own car.
Just a bloody protection racket.
Like the post from Stephen Franks. Trade protection via bullying, which actually has no legal standing other than the power to extort all your money defending yourself in a quasai court.
I can see the gangs latching onto this idea. Set up lock boxes outside a den, deliver the drug of choice. All paid for by the taxpayer of course in the spirit of public good.
Gates has the ‘answer’, deliver vaccines by airborne mosquitos.
And then there is this: The vaccine to end all vaccines.
https://eccentrik.substack.com/p/its-here-fundamentally-new-ai-vaccine
“AI knows best.” If AI actually knew best, Ivermectin would be available at your local pharmacy for $2, Fauci would be on death row awaiting lethal injection, and Hipkins & Co would be on a perpetual holiday in prison.
they already have supply chains that are not restricted by stupid laws.
This idea could be setup to receive the loot too!
You’re getting this email because you’ve helped defend free speech – when it mattered,
So I won’t beat around the bush.
I need you to help fund the defence of Catherine Simpson, a nurse of more than 25 years who is being hauled before a disciplinary tribunal for lawful political opinions she shared online and in her own time.
Her hearing is in August. The Nursing Council has engaged a King’s Counsel to come after her.
We have committed to funding her defence in full, and we need supporters to make that possible now.
Support Cath Simpson Today I know what it’s like to be in Cath’s shoes.
For fifteen months, I was in the sights of my own professional regulator.
A committee of fellow lawyers turned its powers on me for the supposed offence of helping a client exercise their right to speak freely.
I learned first-hand what it is to have the body that licenses your livelihood stop asking whether you are competent and start asking whether it approves of your opinions or, in my case, a client’s lawful opinion.
I fought it, and the finding against me was overturned.
the process itself is the punishment, whatever the verdict.
It is designed to make you think twice before you next say what you think.
That is exactly what is being done to Cath right now.
The charges rest on a handful of posts from her personal X account, written in her own time, on COVID, abortion, gender and politics. A single member of the public complained, then declined to take any further part.
That might reasonably have been the end of it.
Instead, a Nursing Council employee logged in under their own personal account to trawl Cath’s posts for more material to add to the file. The Council has since engaged a King’s Counsel to bury a nurse for things she said as a private citizen.
I have now dealt with professional regulators from every side – answerable to one as a lawyer, defending others hauled before them, and, as a member of Parliament, watching the very law drafted that let the Law Society sit in judgment over its own. I never imagined the abuse of those powers that we are now seeing.
These bodies were created to protect the public from incompetent, dishonest or dangerous work. That is their proper function, and a necessary one.
But a great many have drifted, without ever asking their professions or Parliament, into something else entirely: policing the private opinions of the people they license.
And the penalties on the table are not minor.
The Tribunal can cancel her registration, suspend it for up to three years, fine her up to $30,000, and order her to pay the costs of the very process being used against her. For most people, that is financial ruin. For saying what they think.
This is why I’m asking you to support Cath today,
Cath is not accused of harming a single patient. The Council’s entire case that she poses a “risk to public safety” rests on her posts, and nothing more.
That is not regulation. It is a test of conformity – and it is spreading.
Teachers, doctors, lawyers, engineers: if your livelihood depends on a professional body, your speech is now within its reach. I have watched these disciplinary processes become a honeypot for activists drawn to the power to punish the opinions they dislike, and to reward the silence that satisfies them.
This is not only about Cath. We are now hearing from dozens of people in the same position. If your livelihood depends on a professional body, your speech is now within its reach.
Support Cath’s Defence
There are two things that have to happen here – and the Free Speech Union is doing both.
The lasting fix is to change the law.
I am leading our push for a Regulated Professions Neutrality Bill that would draw a hard line these regulators cannot cross, separating the question of whether a professional is competent, which is their job, from whether they approve of her opinions, which is not. That Bill is the cure.
But a Bill is not law yet, and even the best law will arrive too late for the person already standing in the dock.
Cath cannot wait for Parliament. Her hearing is rapidly approaching, the other side is already preparing, and every day we delay is a day she falls further behind.
So while we fight to change the law for good, we are defending the person being put through it right now.
Your backing funds Cath’s defence today and the campaign that means the next nurse never has to stand there at all.
Chip in to Support Cath’s Fight
You need not agree with a single word Cath wrote to see what is at stake. It is her opinions in the dock today – but the principle on trial is the one that protects yours.
A right we will not defend for the people we disagree with is not a right we will be able to claim when our own turn comes. And it will come.
Please give what you can today.
Stand with Cath – and help us make sure that no one else is left to stand alone.
Best wishes,
Stephen Franks | Council Chair – The Free Speech Union

The establishment will double down, as they know, fear that they could be taken out by the “far right” protestors.
Never mind the collateral stabbings, raping, etc.. of the common people.
The odds of being taken out by an immigrant is very low for the establishment.
So the establishment will use all the tools, the police, the judiciary, media, as they have a vested interest to develop further controls to target any who does not comply with their “thinking” for their own protection.
And of course a great salary, perks etc.. to be protected too.
Then to self righteoulsy claim they are protecting a great civilization.
Sooo… he was mentally ill? Why was someone with a severe mental illnes given a 5 year visa?
“Weekly public transport costs would be capped at $20 for Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch under Labour government”
Excellent, so those of us who don’t/can’t use public transport, and pay for our own transport, will now pay even more for those people who do use public transport.
Just another tax.
So Saggy, all the areas with no Public Transport like Taumarunui, Te Kuiti, Taihape etc don’t get this wonderful Labour Service, bur p[ay for it anyway.
So all is good in the world of Labour. Fuckwits!
So all the other areas with public transport can happily charge more than $20.
The charges in all areas will stay or increase. It’s just the taxpayer will be paying the difference between $20 and the actual cost.
Not terrorism-related. OK, so what did the perp want with the guy’s head?
Not terrorism, religious instruction.
Just following the perfect man, Mohammad’s advice & guidance.
If you encounter the disbelievers in a battle, strike off their heads. Take them as captives when they are defeated. Then you may set them free as a favor to them, with or without a ransom, when the battle is over.
— Koran 47:4 (Muhammad Sarwar translation)
Qur’an 47:4, “When you meet the unbelievers, strike necks.”
When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.
— Koran 8:12 (Shakir translation)
Qur’an 5:33 says, “Surely the reward of those who war against Allah and his messenger and go about to vandalize on the earth is only that they will be killed or crucified or have their hands and legs cut off on opposite sides or they will be banished from the earth.
This is their disgrace in this world, and in the hereafter they will have a great torment.”
Just wandering how the imams preach in their mosques.
Noting that the as per the abrogation verses are considered to the be main duty for muslims that want to be devout, pious etc..
Meccan verses were the first series of verses, as being more peaceful.
Medina verses are the 2nd lot of verses that gives guidance for governance.
The various Hadith, that have different standings, show & back up even more sayings, giving context, and the actions that Mohammad & his Companions practiced.
I threatened Andrew Little that if he did seriously try to enact hate speech laws, I’d firm a new religion, take the Koran and replace all references to Kaffir with Muslims and start quoting those verses. It would have been very amusing.
Some of us would be happy to sign up with you FJA. 😊
It used to be the British custom of old; putting a head on a pike.
Some of the well known ones.
William Wallace: His head was put on a spike on London Bridge in 1305, while his limbs were sent to different cities across the UK.
Thomas More: Displayed after refusing to accept Henry VIII as the supreme head of the Church of England.
Oliver Cromwell: In a famous instance of posthumous punishment, Cromwell’s body was exhumed in 1661 and beheaded. His head was spiked above Westminster Hall and remained there for over twenty years.
The William Wallace one aligns with Mohammadan practice, like cutting off hands & feet.
Now a days some ethic peoples not so far from here, treasure those old heads.
….”Now a days some ethic peoples not so far from here, treasure those old heads.”…..
The heads were those of slaves who were the despised property of the original sellers. The same former head owners were also persona non grata with their own tribes who considered them cowards since they were captured alive.
A couple of centuries later a pack of bludgers get to go on a group taxpayer funded trip to Europe to pick up some no-hoper’s head from some museum having a clean out.
What a rort.
Yup. Specially tattooed for resale in many instances.
I don’t know what’s worse – deliberately killing some poor sod to sell his head, or buying said head.
Malcolm.
Is it “Mull come” or “Mel come” 🤷♂️
My brother’s name. He’s goes with the second.
On the face of it Labour’s new brain fart capping public transport fares at $20 per week should be a massive vote winner. Except of course, the major beneficiaries will be welded on Labour supporters already. Instance an adult public servant commuting daily from Masterton to Wellington who is presently paying $18.50/trip each way or more likely a 30 day pass costing $555.00. Their savings will be enormous.
If the intent is to increase use of public transport then they may be well off target. Even now the services are overcrowded at peak times & the major concerns of commuters are not cost but chronic unreliability of the service & endless equipment failures.
It will take a long time before the average working Kiwi regards trains or buses as other than ways to transport teenage yobbos, alcoholics, degenerates, mothers with ill brought up brats & piss soaked pensioners from where they are to where they don’t want to be when they don’t want to do it.
Naaska, think of all the wealthy Geezers that live on Waiheke Island and commute 5 days a week to Auckland for employment at a huge cost for each return trip.
How well off are they going to be at the end of each week and I, who live in Taumarunui with no Public Transport whatsoever, pay for it.
Anyway, I shouldn’t worry, ’cause I think Hipkins is going to be looking for a new job come November because he is too dumb to develop policies to generate any wealth for this country.
Did you see why the rains have a problem? Labour didn’t fund the systems they need. The regional councils run by these slags spent it on nice to haves
It’s not called the Loser Cruiser for nothing.
In Auckland at least, it’s a really good place to get yourself beaten up for free, if getting lippy at the pub or flipping the bird at bikie gangs isn’t your thing.
Do not be fooled by nice old ladys. I was in the supermarket this morning, in the veg section saw this lady separating the truss tomatoes, into her bag as single tomatoes. I couldn’t help myself, and pointed to the camera overhead and said “you are being watched”. She smiled sweetly and said they are too busy watching “Other people” who are shoplifting.
Thirty years back when cellphones were becoming mainstream urban wisdom held that anyone having a blub session about their life should lick the lithium battery of their phone for self medication.
Now a new breakthrough suggests that V2 may be able to self medicate his advancing dementia by harvesting the mould off the walls of his unfortunate tenant’s hovels. It seems that “Psilocybin is a naturally occurring compound found in over 200 species of fungi collectively known as “magic mushrooms.” From https://expose-news.com/2026/06/08/advanced-alzheimers-successfully-treated/
#. “The patient had lived with Alzheimer’s disease for approximately 10 years and experienced severe functional decline over the preceding five years. According to the report, she had become largely monosyllabic, demonstrated profound cognitive impairment, chronic urinary incontinence, impaired mobility, dysphagia, executive dysfunction and severe reduction in spontaneous communication and emotional engagement.”
#. “After receiving a single 5g oral dose of psilocybin-containing mushrooms (Enigma strain), the patient reportedly experienced rapid and sustained functional improvement across multiple domains.”
And it gets better:

5g… of normal magic mushies thats well into the “heroic dose” realm, aka tripping fucking balls, full ego death and possible years in a mental ward if the trip goes wayward.
enigma must be piss weak.
a standard dose in nz is 1-2grams dried for a pretty good hit.
i always wanted to microdose mushies or lsd but have never got round to it.
supposed to increase creativity and open the mind without coming close to tripping or impairment ( about 1tenth normal dose)
Just found that out, have you? Nothing new about that. But then you don’t read the news much.
Yesterday I went online to my bank to pay some bills and got a screen that told me I had to do all this biometric shit to access my bank account. If I don’t want to do it, I will have to use my phone or do a one hour drive up to my local branch.

What are the ramifications?
Is this how the protesting truck drivers in Canada got their bank accounts frozen?
Are all the banks doing this?
Thanks for the replies you lot.
Cheers.
There aren’t any ramifications, other than you’re less likely to be ripped off by a fraudster. I worked on it for a bank.
It isn’t biometric information. It is, as they clearly told you, BEHAVIOURAL information. So, if a scammer gets into your account and uses a different device to you, holds their phone at a different angle, takes a longer or shorter time to make a payment, etc., the tool will score the transaction on a few different criteria as potentially fraudulent and will take action from there. Probably in the first instance by holding up the payment, then alerting you.
Even the information to identify you (typically a customer number only), that is sent via an API to the company who developed the tool, is anonymised.
You don’t need to be paranoid about every development. Some are beneficial.
You worked on it for a bank. We can safely presume that you were paid for your services. Ergo there was a cost to the bank.
Thus it follows that there was an accrued benefit to the bank.
Paranoia is justified when dealing with any banking organisation.
As I’ve posted before, if you want to blame someone, blame the gummint. The government put much more liability on the banks in the case of funds lost through fraud. So the banks have responded by introducing real-time fraud prevention measures like this.
Which I’m more than happy to sign up to.
…..”The government put much more liability on the banks in the case of funds lost through fraud. So the banks have responded by introducing real-time fraud prevention measures like this.”…..
Accepted. I also accept that real-time fraud prevention measures such as this & two factor ID are using MY time & MY inconvenience (potential or real) to save the banks money.
Then I’m sold a line of shit that I’m jumping through hoops under the duress of losing on line access to protect MY money. See where I’m coming from?
youd be the first cunt to cry and whinge when your money has been stolen from your account.
2 factors good, 30seconds of my time is cheap insurance really.
i come unstuck yesterday tho when i went to transfer 10k from aus and the codes went to my aussie number! got whacked another $5 roaming fee to get it sorted.
my mate got scammed 48k a few years back, 2 factor back then wouldve saved him as the 10min on hold to the bank was enough for them to clean him out. (he clicked on dodgy link to fake login page, took him 2 or 3mins to work out it was a scam and contact bank)
Don’t you have a phone with a dual sim?
You must have missed the bit in FJA’s comment where he wrote:
…..”The government put much more liability on the banks in the case of funds lost through fraud. So the banks have responded by introducing real-time fraud prevention measures like this.”…..
The government has left the banks exposed. They can no longer pull some obscure tract out of an agreement they forced on you ten years ago & refuse liability. Whether you think this is a good thing would depend on whether you were the bank or the customer.
The fact remains that the customer pays through inconvenience for the bank’s convenience.
Instance your mate who presumably wouldn’t have lost $48,000 had the bank invested in a fit for purpose help desk that didn’t keep their clientèle on hold forever.
When the corporate sneezes it’s always the customer/victim who catches the cold.
to be fair online banking and payments were pretty fast and loose.
couple that with lax muppets and old coots such as yourself navigating the online world and its a fuckup begging to happen.
the problem falls on both parties tbh, and now the banks are doing their bit by taking reasonable and practical steps to reduce fraud.
same as you should be too.
i dont think banks should be liable for muppetry and gullable fools losing their life savings, but i also dont think that would be fair with the lack of security steps there were a few years back.
i just made an online purchase a few minutes ago, maybe 10 or 12 seconds max for 2 factor… i dont know wtf your problem is, youre just being a fucking viking coot over nothing.
you either pay with your time or pay with your money… or did you think those nice banks would pay the loses from their shareholders pockets and not just be like say supermarkets and build losses into their prices/fees???
Hey leave me out of his inability to manage a simple bank account.
A lot of information has been being collected for a very long time. Re: IP address: theyv’e been doing that for decades.
If log into your bank account at home, the bank knows your IP Address, and thus general location. If minutes later you suddenly “present” your credit/debit card in person at a knock shop in Cairo, or a sporting goods store in Dubai, the system knows you don’t have teleportation abilities, so stops the transaction.
With some banks, if you log into your phone banking app at home on your home wi-fi, log out, and then drive to the local mall, without actually shutting down the app, and then attempt to log back in at the mall on your mobile connection, you will be denied access until you actually shut down the app, re-open it and attempt to log in again.
All this is called security.
How long do they allow between RentboysRUS in Nelson & a gay knock shop in Phuket?
Asking for a friend.
Are there gay knock shops here in Phuket?
Who Knew !! nasska knew.
That’s concerning.
Microsoft has a free app that you can put on websites that does all that tracking. Most websites you go to will have it.
Its interesting to watch as people move around the website or move on their phone.
Most of that has been around for years.
The issue is ensuring the security of YOUR bank account. So you don’t lose your money.
I’m no expert, but I’ve been told it depends on when you last logged into the Nelson public toilets and which viruses you caught.
That was supposed to be replying to Nasska but any any input on this delicate matter would be appreciated V.
Be helpful if you named the bank.
ASB
BNZ have introduced the same crap.
They all have, and so do most big companies.
They’re coming to get ya naaska. You will be paranoid before long.
Plods are determined to ruin the hospitality industry. Not like there’s no crime to solve.
Tauranga bars and restaurants caught selling alcohol to minors in sting
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/bay-of-plenty-times/news/tauranga-bars-and-restaurants-caught-selling-alcohol-to-minors-in-sting/IDCIQEJ64FHQZNG6NO2NPFZR7Y/
White boys or natives get free pass!
New Zealnad alcohol laws are pathetic. Go to a mature country like Italy where alcohol is cheap, avaliable and widely drunk, but genrally most people behave when drinking. You can drink in the street, on the beach, at a park, I do not believe there are any bans, and it is sold 24/7 in supermarkets. There is no such thing as a bottle shop or liquor store. Under 18s can’t buy, but they can drink, usually with their parents. I never saw anyone ever asked for ID or refused a sale. They don’t have queue hold ups while supervisors approve sales. New Zealanders have a problem with alcohol because it is “Forbidden Fruit” Europe generally doesnt, because its a natural part of daily life.
ah yes, but italy isnt graced with cuzi bros and jiggaboos on the piss.
we cater to the lowest common denominator
Just a little bit guilty is ok?
Is that like a little bit pregnant?
Hey SB wasnt my diesel supposed to be back over $3 this week according to you last month , but this week it is $ 2.51
no thats not what i said you dumb fuck, late august/september itll rise bigly if your orange hero cant get his hormuz reopening deal across the line in the next month or so.
takes 6-9wks for the oil to get to its destination so hes fast running outve time.
If If If – seems like you are starting to load the excuses bases
Ahh when you make a new prediction i need to ignore all previous ones , i think i might have it now , btw are you sure your not still a teenager with your ability to fly off the handle at the slightest bit of niggle , i have a couple of them and have noticed similarities.
i think you imagine a bunch of bullshit and attribute it to me.
screenshot the above post and this one, set a reminder on your phone etc and i honestly hope you can mock me for it in a few months cuz if not we’re in a world of hurt.
if he gets it open soon then crisis averted but i have as much faith in him as i would chloe swarbrick as finance minister.
if trumptard dosent sort it soon youll be wishing fuel was only $3.50.
fwiw the betting markets have it for not until december normal flow resumes so who knows.
now how about your orange heros predictions…. we’re how long into his predicted week long war, then predicted 3 week war.
hes predicted how many times a deal is about to be made?
hes predicted how many times the straights gunns be reopened?
seems the only predictions he gets right, oddly are the sharemarket ones… only 4billion dollars worth…. most corrupt potus ever

Weekly public transport costs would be capped at $20 for Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch under Labour governmentLabour is pledging to cap weekly public transport costs across the country to $20 in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, and $10 for all other areas.
The policy, which the party says would be introduced from July next year, breaks Labour’s election policy drought after leader Chris Hipkins said his party would wait until after the Government’s Budget to unveil more of its pitch to voters ahead of November 7.
Labour’s policy states once a public transport commuter reached their price cap, the rest of their trips for that week would be free.
Labour claimed it would save commuters on average about $25 per week or $1200 per year.
The party said the policy would cost about $65 million per year and it would be funded from the National Land Transport Fund.

Sean Reacts To Jacinda Ardern’s Return To Politics & Public Life
comment: The UN would be perfect for her – why only stuff up one country when she could stuff up the whole world!
She was never going to “retire”. Her exiting NZ politics was to give NZ and the world a chance to forget her misdeeds, so she could pop up again. All that and not not lose the 2023 elections which would have been a blot on her copybook.
Well maybe it’d give the rest of the world a reason to hate her as well.
Her problem will then become where to go next, because I doubt Elon will be giving her first shot at Mars.
Wait, actually Elon, we need to talk. . .
That wouldn’t work. Elon wants to create a colony of humans on Mars. He would find it impossible to find any sane male willing to take the chance and mating with the bitch. Those teeth would render any male unable to do the deed.
Yer, but she wouldn’t be back, hopefully she would take clarkE, too.
He might if we asked nicely.

Hospital Says Maori Patients The Most Important In New Job Description

It got me thinking. Is a Maori born outside of NZ to be treated with the same level of deference that the rest expect, given that they’re not indigenous?
And yeah yeah, I know none of them are.
If you take that to the beginning why don’t maori ancestral Taiwanese receive the same level of deference that the rest expect. //
The ACT Party is reigniting debate about the Paris Agreement and New Zealand’s Emissions Reduction Plans, in its climate policy announcement at Fieldays in Hamilton on Wednesday.
As part of its 2026 election campaign, the ACT Party says it wants to revisit the country’s Emissions Reduction Plans.
“ACT will reset these around realistic targets,” the party’s agriculture spokesperson Andrew Hoggard, a former Federated Farmers President, said.
The party is also proposing a “split gas” emissions target and wants to make sure agriculture is kept out of the Emissions Trading Scheme.
“New Zealand’s farmers are the most emissions-efficient in the world, yet they are treated like climate villains and punished by climate targets that ignore the difference between methane from livestock and carbon from fossil fuels,” Hoggard said.
Under this current approach, he said prime farmland gets converted to pine trees and farmers face new costs for emissions they’re already managing efficiently.
“And global emissions don’t drop – because other countries with higher-footprint production simply fill the gap.”
“That’s not an environmental outcome. That’s an economic and environmental own-goal,” Hoggard said.
‘Paris needs to change, or New Zealand needs to leave’
ACT hasn’t shied away from being critical of New Zealand’s involvement in The Paris Agreement, a legally binding international treaty on climate change.
In September, ACT called for New Zealand to alter its emissions reduction goals in the Paris Agreement – or withdraw from the pact completely. At the time, ACT leader David Seymour said: “Paris needs to change, or New Zealand needs to leave.”
ACT shared its full position statement via a document called A Better Climate Deal, where it mentioned revisiting the country’s Emissions Reduction Plans and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) under the Paris Agreement.
Under the Paris Agreement, every country has set out its own NDC – this is to show the contributions countries will make towards delivering on the Paris Agreement goals. The obligations under the 2015 Paris Agreement is to limit global warming to “well below 2 °C” and attempt to keep it to 1.5 °C.
What ACT wants
On Wednesday, Hoggard said the Paris Agreement provided a pathway for New Zealand to issue its own NDC and ACT was campaigning to do that in the next term of Parliament.
The Party is proposing:
Hoggard said current climate targets treated methane from a cow the same as carbon from a coal burner, claiming this wasn’t scientific.
“The result is that New Zealand farmers are being told to cut production while other countries increase output. That’s not reducing global emissions, it’s sending our jobs, our land, and our food production offshore – to countries that produce it less efficiently and with a higher carbon cost. It’s exporting jobs, investment, and food production overseas.”
ACT’s climate spokesperson Simon Court said: “ACT will submit a new Split-Gas emissions target that focuses on actual warming. Long-lived gases will continue on a path to lowering emissions, while biogenic methane will be managed under a No Additional Warming approach.”
When it came to removing agriculture from the ETS, Court said “taxing the world’s most emission-efficient farmers won’t change the climate.”
“It will just make food more expensive and push production into less efficient countries.”
“Last year, ACT made it clear that the Paris Agreement is broken and that New Zealand deserves a better climate deal. Today, we are putting forward exactly what that better deal looks like,” said Court.
“New Zealand produces dairy with a carbon footprint 46% lower than the global average. We should be expanding our production, not retreating. ACT is the only party with the courage to stand up to the UN, rewrite the rules, and secure a future where farming grows.”
Climate currently
Following Seymour’s comments in September,
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon made it clear that New Zealand would not be leaving the Paris Agreement, saying: “It would only damage, hurt, and punish our farmers. Our competitor countries would like nothing more than to see New Zealand products off their shelves.”
Luxon said the Government had already kept agriculture out of the Emissions Trading Scheme.
Alongside this, other changes have been made to the country’s climate policies such as restricting the Climate Change Commission to monitoring rather than advising on emissions reduction plans, removing the requirement for Emissions Trading Scheme settings to align with New Zealand’s Paris Agreement targets, and reducing the target for methane emissions.
The current government also reversed the offshore oil and gas exploration ban in 2024.
In December, Finance Minister Nicola Willis told the Finance and Expenditure Committee the Government was not prepared to send billions of dollars offshore to meet the Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement.
Countries can transfer carbon credits earned from reducing greenhouse gas emissions to help other countries meet their climate targets.
At the time, Willis said she did not believe it was in the best interests of New Zealanders to send billions of dollars offshore.
It remained a priority for the Government to meet its Nationally Determined Contributions, Willis said.
“We are working hard to ensure that our priority of domestic climate action is met.”
Experts told RNZ it would not be possible for the country to meet its climate change commitments by only focusing on domestic emissions reductions.

What gets me is that they are still clinging to the Carbon reduction argument when it’s the particulates that matter. You can’t destroy matter, and carbon is matter, and it will never be less or more.
It’s how it’s combined in other products that matters. CO2, anyone looking for breath?
ur cows fart, and I wonder hw much is expressed when one of Elon’s rockets takes off. No one mentions that
It would help if the actually consulted some real climatologists that don’t have alarmist views. There are lots of them. Judith Curry would be my pick. A party needs to stand up and say that if waming is ocurring, its probably natural variability and a warmer world is a better, greener world. Most of the idiots that say the most about “glaobal warming” are not climatologists nor meteorologists.
Anthropic opens most powerful AI model to public with safeguardsAnthropic, maker of the Claude artificial intelligence (AI) models, has made the most powerful version of its technology available to the general public, while restricting it from use in sensitive areas.
Dubbed Fable 5, the model is the first from the Mythos class – Anthropic’s most advanced lineup of AI technology, unveiled in April but restricted over cybersecurity concerns – to be made widely available.
Anthropic says Fable 5 is exceptionally good at writing and debugging software code, answering complex research questions and analysing images.
In parallel, Anthropic is offering an unrestricted version, Claude Mythos 5, to companies and organisations that already have access to this model family – including cybersecurity partners enrolled in its Project Glasswing programme.
That select group was expanded in early June to around 200 organisations in more than 15 countries and is expected to grow further.
Anthropic has restricted access to Mythos on cybersecurity grounds, given what the company calls its ability to quickly identify vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure, such as banking, power grids, and software.
When Project Glasswing launched, some critics accused Anthropic of overhyping the threat so as to generate attention.
But companies that have tested Mythos have since endorsed its capabilities, with the US Government – which had been in a legal dispute with Anthropic – eventually testing the model over security concerns.
The White House has since set up an arrangement to test the most powerful models from the leading AI companies before they are released.
Anthropic says the restrictions on Fable 5 will work like this: most queries to it relating to sensitive issues like cybersecurity will be routed instead to the lower-tier model, Opus 4.8, which was made public in late May.
Anthropic hired outside experts to spend more than 1000 hours trying to find ways to bypass these restrictions – a process known as red-teaming.
The company also ran a bug bounty programme, which pays people to find security flaws. No one found a way to completely unlock the model, Anthropic said.
The security question, which Anthropic has made one of its main commercial arguments, had drawn the San Francisco startup into an unprecedented standoff with the Trump administration over its refusal to lift its restrictions on mass surveillance and autonomous lethal weapons.
After that dispute, the Pentagon severed its contracts with the company, whose AI tools had been the only ones to hold defence security clearance.
The launch of Fable 5 comes with a steep price tag – US$10 ($17) per million input tokens and US$50 per million output tokens, double the cost of Opus 4.8. Tokens are measures of usage of an AI model.
An intensive coding session by a programmer can burn through one million tokens in a matter of hours or less.
Despite exponential revenue growth, Anthropic remains far from profitability and is paying a premium for computing power. It recently began leasing a data centre from Elon Musk for US$1.25 billion per month.
These launches come amid intense financial excitement around AI.
Anthropic and rival OpenAI recently announced they had filed IPO plans, just days before a record-breaking market debut for SpaceX, Elon Musk’s space giant that also owns xAI, his AI company.
Breaking: Government funds virtual fencing project for sheep and beef farms.
Prime Minister Luxon has announced a $159 million Land Use Flexibility scheme programme to “give growers and farmers more freedom to adapt and grow.”
It includes investing $3.55 million for sheep and beef farms to test virtual fencing in a 5 year project.
Other initiatives are the feasibility of prefabricated timber modules, better water storage, land use change, unlocking greater value from kiwifruit, a $45 mill dairy project on farm systems ($18 mill from govt).
It includes six commercial partnerships and $84 million from industry partnerships.
For FFS’s sake that virtual fencing is almost old hat and companies are using it around the world. Why should taxpayers be fronting that?
fark knows, theres plenty now using it already ffs.
sheep not yet i dont think but plenty of beef are collared and fenced esp stations now as they can graze marginal ground without stock going bush or having to spend a fortune fencing.
sounds more like nats have a donor who does virtual fencing and a bit of back scratching/ roi
Gallagher’s I presume. On pravda tv tonight at Fieldays with Luxon poncing around as well.
we use the gallagher collars on beef in aus, pretty good.

“France discovered its grid had 15% more capacity hidden in its existing wires — found by an algorithm, delivered without building anything.
The concept of grid-enhancing technologies — software and hardware additions to existing transmission lines that increase their capacity without new construction — has existed in engineering literature for over a decade. France’s transmission operator RTE spent two years validating whether the theoretical capacity gains were achievable in its actual network. In 2023, it published the answer: dynamic line rating, topology optimisation, and advanced power flow control devices applied to existing RTE infrastructure could increase effective grid capacity by 12 to 18% — without a single new cable, pylon, or substation.
Dynamic line rating is the most immediately impactful. Conventional transmission lines are rated at a fixed capacity calculated from the worst-case assumption: a hot summer day with no wind. In practice, French transmission lines are most stressed in winter, when wind cools conductors and allows them to carry more current safely. By installing weather sensors along transmission corridors and dynamically adjusting line ratings based on real-time temperature, wind speed, and conductor temperature data, RTE can authorise higher power flows whenever conditions allow — which is most of the time.
The regulatory value of this finding extends far beyond France. Every transmission system in the world is operating at fixed ratings that were calculated decades ago using conservative assumptions and instrumentation that no longer reflects the actual state of its infrastructure. The hidden capacity in existing grids globally — if France’s 15% figure is representative — exceeds the new transmission investment plans of most countries over the next decade. The cheapest new grid capacity is the capacity that already exists, rediscovered by an algorithm.

fark, just watched the vid of that piece of shit clack bunt trying to behead and stab the eyeballs outve that poor chap in irelend.
1. there needs to be laws to protect bystanders from prosecution for instant lynchings of these fuckers.
2. public need to be more armed and ready to respond to this kinda shit.
3. bout time the people of uk, irelend etc just fucking lose it and take matters into their own hands. mask up and start cleaning up the place in a fucking brutal way.
BLM had their few months of mass unrest, time for WLM to shine. strength in numbers,mask up, dont do looting etc and deal to the actual problem… might need to be a few migrant hotel barbeques.
The politicians, bureaucrats ducking & diving, looking to take the opportunity to gain more power & control, using the migrants as victims, which they allowed as tool.
….. Anti-immigrant unrest sprung up in several cities across the UK after Monday night’s attack. ……
….. Multiple houses were set on fire in Belfast, [some say were accomodating migrants] along with numerous vehicles, rubble piles and street barricades. These continued to burn as night fell, attended by a vast force of firecrews.
Dramatic scenes came after protesters pushed a flaming bin into a Glider bus on the Newtownards Road soon after crowds first began to gather, burning it to a cinder.
In the Lower Newtownards Road area in east Belfast, around 100 masked men made their way down the street kicking in doors and smashing windows, saying they were ‘getting the foreigners out’, the BBC reported. [shit stirring BBC narrative]
It was also reported that groups of locals had set up checkpoints and were checking passing cars for foreign nationals. (read more)
Also seems to be a great cure for those plastic wheelie rubbish bins, particularly when loaded up. How convenient. 😏
The target should be Parliament, & the political parties offices, and any places where they congregate.
The politicians can not say they were not warned.! for years.
To let them know, there is many more of the common people than them.
