I see that once again the self-important Auckland Airport is closed by fog.
Any respectable airport would have fixed that years ago.
Way past time others can do the job.

Trans-Tasman flights from Hamilton Airport have already resumed. The services officially restarted on June 16, 2025, and continue to operate today.

Yeah. Air NZ missed out again. Wankers.

We just need Rotorua to get on that wagon to some other destinations, such as Fiji, and better service will have resumed.

Just priming the people to eventually accept paying some form of levies, fees, rent, etc..

March 14 2026 ….. the notion of “land acknowledgments” – mandatory at public events – as a form of “predictive programming,” indoctrinating guilt while priming the public for such transfers. …..

12 March 2026 ……. Musqueam chief has said there’s no plans to collect rent or anything like that, “the agreement itself says that the Musqueam have Aboriginal title.”

backed by Supreme Court rulings, “means actual ownership of the land itself,” John warned. “You can’t ignore what the agreement says and just hope that this non-binding promise” is kept.
What truly matters he said, “is the rights recognition agreement that has been signed by the federal government and the Musqueam.”

Secret agreements signed between federal authorities and Indian bands “sound pretty fishy to me,” remarked Ezra [Levant], asking what the JCCF president means by that language.

Secret agreements between private parties are one thing, replied John. But when it’s the government “talking about recognizing Aboriginal title over lands where two million Canadians live, that is a matter of public interest.”

The deal effectively creates a new form of government “that is going to have jurisdiction along with the federal and provincial governments,” something he said that runs afoul of the Constitution. …..

I commented on this Canadian Court detail, all done in secret, in more detail with further links a few months ago & how that secret decision came about.
Unfortunately I can not find again, nor those other links. either on this site or through google.

The parallels on how also the recognition of “tikanga” sets the stage, & will bring about at some point, many more rights to cascade through NZ laws.

It is just a “right” as thrown around in the UN Declaration of Rights for Indigenous Peoples UNDRIP.
So do not be surprized when some one has to pay for others to have that “right“.

John Carpay: Vancouver, British Columbia, now belongs to the Musqueam Indian Band

3 mins 37 secs : Mar 6, 2026 : Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms

The creep from shared dual title & accepting it as CoGovernance with the supposed intent of not being dominant. ….. Yeah right …. as your rights would be rebalanced in the name of a good cause of “pluralist” “kindly” legal systems, that will paralyze you.

🤔 Perhaps get ahead of the game, just for the moment, and pay your taxes, regional & districts rates to an iwi band.
just film that, get a receipt & tell IRD or Council office, you are all paid up in full. 😁

Ani O’Brien wrote an article on this suggesting that by stopping Under 16’s having a smart phone it would remove the almost (as Australia have found) impossible task of removing internet content from that age group. They would still be able to have a “dumb” phone for actual talking and text.
She made the point, amongst others, that alcohol is banned by purchase on age limit. This would remove the need for over 16’s having to prove their age etc every time they went into an internet site.

It appeared to make sense to me.

nah, stop getting you knickers in a twist about everything.

removing the smartphones from kids is the way i rekon.
your not gunna see kids start carrying a laptop or setting up a desktop computer just to tiktok 🤣.
sure theyll be able to access social media on the other devices but its alot more inconvenient and a smartphone ban will be somewhat effective vs a social media ban like here in aussie. a smartphone ban wont affect you, a social media ban/ digi id will.

its very fucking simple really, you dumb old fucks who dont have young kids to watch over 24/7 have zero idea. youre too caught up in your own interests and beliefs to actually give a fuck about the safety a welfare of our young.

Never mind now, many of those uber & taxis are driven by the “enforcers” of Mohammad.

13 July, 2026 ….. the Australian [ISIS wife] as a cunning, threatening figure and the “driving force” behind many of the problems in the camp.

According to the security source, Ms Abby acted as what they called a “Sharia judge”, or an enforcer of Sharia law,
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07-13/australian-is-hodan-abby-inside-al-roj-camp-syria/106895922

Also to note how well one them is educated, a Doctor who worked in paediatrics.

Islam cannot be either ‘moderate’ or ‘not moderate.’ — Islam can only be one thing,”:—— Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Allah in Qur’an 4:74 says, So let those who purchase the world’s life for the hereafter engage in war for the sake of Allah.
And whoever engages in war for the sake of Allah, whether he is killed or victorious, so we will give him a great wage.

Allah in Qur’an 9:111 says,Surely Allah has purchased from the believers [Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden [Heavenly Paradise].
They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they kill and are killed….

So in much of the Western world, we are told to respect the most devout, pious adherent to Mohammad, deemed to be a good muslim.

Just as our academia, universities also teach about the “kindness” of fluidity in genderism that one can become.

I watch Japanese TV via a company based in Hong Kong.
One program discussed the growing shortage of bus drivers in the Tokyo region (let alone the provinces). Young Japanese don’t want to drive buses (and who can blame them).
The bus companies should increase fares and thus pay higher wages to their drivers. Of course, this would be inflationary, but wages in Japan have been suppressed for a long time.
The alternative is to take on Indian or other foreigners as drivers.

Similar things in Mandami’s New York, as the tax take severely dropped in its usual system City system.

The governmental people will not worry so much.
After all it would be easy to have a hefty exit departure tax on New Zealanders.

AI:–
Canada: Canada’s “departure tax” is one of the strictest in the world, treating many globally held assets—such as cryptocurrency, private corporation shares, and non-registered investments—as disposed of right before you leave. It can force individuals to pay massive bills on paper gains they haven’t realized yet. [1]

USA: that has tax enforces an expatriation tax ….. on world wide assets.

France, Spain, Germany, and Norway—have established or expanded exit tax regimes 

One can be sure that the remaining socialist countries will be seriously weighing up how to do this too.

So far in the USA one can change states & cities, but the intent of the Democrat Party is to make much of their taxes universal into Federal system.

No bird flu worst-case modelling, no compensation: Minister says farmers would carry cost
As avian influenza moves closer to New Zealand, the Government says its focus is on prevention rather than worst-case planning — but farmers warn a major outbreak could be devastating. Nadine Roberts reports.
The Government has no worst-case modelling for the impact a major bird flu outbreak could have on New Zealand’s food supply or economy, while Associate Biosecurity Minister Andrew Hoggard says poultry producers whose flocks are wiped out by the virus should not expect compensation.
On Wednesday, officials confirmed the first case of the highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu virus had been detected in New Zealand.
Hoggard told Stuff on Thursday the Government’s focus had been on preparing the industry to prevent an outbreak rather than modelling its potential economic consequences, despite commissioning extensive worst-case scenario modelling for foot-and-mouth disease in 2024.

A former teacher who threw bricks at police during the violent end to the Parliament protest occupation has been censured and ordered to disclose his disciplinary history to future employers.
The New Zealand Teachers Disciplinary Tribunal issued its decision against Billy-James Charles Natanahira following his convictions for assault with a weapon and rioting.
The convictions related to Natanahira’s actions on March 2, 2022, when police moved to clear the 23-day occupation around Parliament, leading to violent clashes between officers and protesters.
Natanahira was convicted in the Wellington District Court in June 2024 and sentenced to five months’ community detention.

Eat low mercury fish. Salmon, Herring, White fish,Anchovies and Sardines.
Flaxseed rich in omega-3s. Buy milled or ground Flaxseed or grind in coffee grinder.
Nuts. Walnuts, almonds, pistachios.
Avocado, fresh fruit and vegetables.
Exercise, BMI of 25 or under,non smoking and limit alcohol.

Been pondering on this dead brown skua issue and something doesn’t add up. The skua migrates from the artic to NZ around early November and returns March or April. But here we have a victim of bird flu dead on the beach mid July at least 2 months after it should have departed these shores. Now if it really did die of bird flu it must have been infected here otherwise it would have died much earlier. Even if bird flu did arrive with the Skuas as they are suggesting it must now be established in the local bird population somewhere. Tell me if I am wrong.

To cut to the chase, the real $money spinner is to get the vaccination programs in place, where no one complains, and will not stop mandatory & compulsory,

21 Feb., 2025 …… ….a poultry medicine expert at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine who studies how influenza viruses jump from animals to humans, said he’s concerned that vaccinating poultry could facilitate silent spread, where transmission occurs in asymptomatic birds.

“Vaccines can sometimes be seen as kind of a double-edged sword,
” Perez said. “They can control the disease, but at the same time, they may not be able to control infections. So vaccinated animals may show no signs of the disease.” …..
