“”OPINION:— Richard Prebble:— 22 Jun, 2022
National can win the election – but can they govern?
The Tauranga byelection has confirmed the opinion polls. National and Act can win the next election. Together the two parties got 66.59 per cent of the vote.
Labour with the Greens support got a disastrous 25.21 per cent.
Governing in 2023 will be very challenging. Act has been preparing by announcing policy. National is saying what it won’t do.
Labour is putting 82 per cent of all adults on some form of income support.
National leader Christopher Luxon says “I’m not dreaming up a policy to reform welfare”. He is promising to increase benefits.
At a time of full employment Labour is running a deficit.
National’s finance spokeswoman, Nicola Willis, says “I’m not proposing cuts of any sort.”
Dr Shane Reti, National’s health spokesman, says health’s “many stakeholders” are too “exhausted” to undertake any “large structural change”. Labour’s centralised health reforms will be retained.
The Māori Health Authority will not be abolished but “folded in”.
Luxon is a “big fan” of minimum wage increases, as long as the economy is growing enough to sustain them.
The Arms Act has not stopped the gangs from having guns.
National voted with Labour to override local town planning. Both supported the Child Poverty Act that has not stopped a record number of children living in motels.
The policy National has announced is what every party in opposition says. Oppositions have promised to get tough on gangs going back to Norman Kirk promising to take the bikes off the bikies.
Every party says it is going to get rid of government waste.
Adopting Act’s policy of charter schools by itself will not solve the crisis in education.
Pupils are graduating unable to read or do math.
Even in the best state schools education standards have slipped.
National’s only significant promise is to restore price stability as the Reserve Bank’s sole remit.
In effect, National is promising to be a Labour government under new management. No matter how good the management, if the policy is flawed, it will fail.
A major reason why Labour’s policies are failing is Labour is placing at the heart of government a radical and unworkable reinterpretation of the treaty as a partnership.
Luxon says he also believes that the treaty “means partnership”.
Luxon has tried to have it both ways. He has also said he does not believe tino rangatiratanga meant co-governance.
But he is not opposed to co-governance on a local level just in national policies.
Luxon then complains Labour has not explained what co-governance means.
National could set the agenda for the next election by explaining exactly what co-governance means.
Either the Treaty ceded sovereignty, protected property rights and gave everyone, Māori and non-Māori the same rights of citizenship, or the Treaty is an agreement to co-govern the country in partnership with a self-selected elite.
The Crown is everybody, Māori and non-Māori. It is totally unworkable to have Māori on both sides of a partnership.
Minister Willie Jackson says we have a new form of democracy where he negotiates in secret co-governance just with iwi leaders.
Who represents the country?
When only half the partnership is accountable to the electorate, New Zealand is no longer a democratic country.
Instead, one partner is like a New Zealand House of Lords with its only qualification being birth.
If National adopts Labour’s reinterpretation of the Treaty as a partnership, then in government National will be just as paralysed as Labour.
The Treaty zealots in the civil service will destroy the Government.
National’s great boast was its claim to be the party for all New Zealanders regardless of class, race, religion or gender.
Every previous National leader would reject the idea that Queen Victoria agreed to co-govern New Zealand in partnership with 500 odd Māori chiefs.
Luxon believes that he can fudge the treaty issue. Jacinda Ardern avoids the issue too.
Both Luxon and Ardern come from marketing backgrounds. He was a brand manager. Her degree is in public relations.
They both believe it is the sizzle not the sausage that matters.
Marketing can win elections. It worked for Ardern twice. It has worked for Luxon in Tauranga.
If the next election is just a battle of the brands National will win.
National then just needs to agree the Treaty is a partnership and Luxon/Willis can lead a Labour-lite Government in coalition with Te Pāti Māori.
If National wants to be a government that promotes free enterprise and personal responsibility then the party needs to issue policy that reflects these principles.
A good place to start would be declaring that the Treaty settled sovereignty, protects property rights and establishes equality of citizenship.
• Richard Prebble is a former leader of the Act Party and former member of the Labour Party.””
My paragraphing and bold emphasis.
If you believe that scenario then you need to vote for Matt king. He said nothing that infringes the bill of rights will be allowed. None of this co-governance shit, no three waters, two hospital systems or anything that doesn’t mean we are all the same.
Ed, i think it was matt king that also said scrap all race base spending too… that will be the issue that really sparks a flare up from the radical elite maori.
The big problem is getting matt king to be kingmaker, if nat/act get enough seats without him then we get shat on and have to hope seymour reigns in the maori crap which i think he would to some degree but not fully.
Matt King it is.
Hello and bye for today 🙂
Oh you tease
One of the reasons open markets accelerate development is that their decentralized nature creates a diversity of efforts to capture the future. Since no one can see the future, that diversity is more likely to hit on upcoming economic needs than any plan,
Now this wasn’t about NZ but China. It is still appropriate to us.
When the planners make a mistake, a huge national effort goes in the wrong direction, something less likely in fundamentally decentralized markets. In time, a communistic centralization will waste resources, stifle imagination and experimentation, and steal the economic dynamism of past decades. The economy will stagnate long after the COVID lockdowns are just a bad memory.

This is well worth the read. He spells out whats coming up for China. Its worth noting because it will affect us.
As are some of the comments.
Prebble said:
“In effect, National is promising to be a Labour government under new management.”
He is right in this National under virtually every thing Labour have done, National have agreed with Labour, be it housing and compliance legislation or recently being tough on gangs and offering to work with Labour to introduce new legislation (without knowing what the legislation may be) to deal with gangs.
All the Bald Headed Prick from National, Luxon can do is make some platitudes and hollow noises.
For example, National say they oppose 3 Waters, but have done absolutely nothing towards demonstrating that.
National have left the opposition, costs and the heavy lifting to the Taxpayers Union and Groundswell. National have not supported them one iota in their roadshow around the country in opposition to 3 Waters, but will want to reap the rewards of the Taxpayers Union and Groundswells work in opposing 3 Waters at the Ballot Box.
Quite frankly Luxon and National have become a great disappointment.
This country needs some strong leadership and vision for the future. Prebble is right, with National and Luxon, all we will get is more of the same crap that Labour are currently dishing up to this country, but possibly with a little different management style.
Quite frankly National became a great disappointment way back when the great Helmsan and the catholic took over. They remain that way today.
Its not a new thing.
so fixed that for you.
Spud, the Great Helmsman, the one that has made a huge amount of money working for Labour as a Glove Puppet, Lackey and General Factotum.
V2, your right, nothing much has changed and it appears, nothing will.
Willie Jackson fully explained on TV what Co Governance meant a couple of years ago (Though the interview with Miriama Kamo is now mysteriously hard to find)
‘A Separate Maori House of Parliament….And if whitey doesn’t like it he can piss off back to England’
CO, are you referring to the Maori Separatist, Willie Goebbels?
I posted this last night. Law professor says co-governance can’t work. Worth a listen.

Leighton Smith had a talk with this guy on his podcast last week. He is very good. He was teaching at Otago University for about 10 year before going to Queensland, so he is familiar with NZ.
So for Willis and Luxon in particular it is all about themselves —ie “I ” and not “we”. Where is the team effort Luxon.??
Seeds as a Weapon
China is the world’s largest agricultural importer with imports totaling $133.1 billion in 2019, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Plagued by shrinking arable land, natural disasters, and with swelling demand for food to feed one-sixth of the world’s population, the country has for years shown considerable interest in U.S. agricultural assets, among which, the “most valuable and easily transferable property are seeds,” a May research report (pdf) by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) states.
Beijing’’s goal is to be able to convert as much American farmland as possible to exclusively provide for China.
“Now you have secured on that acre, and scale that however many hundreds of 1000s of acres, you’ve secured your own supply chain for your country as the owner of that land, even if it’s on foreign soil,” he said.
https://www.theepochtimes.com/chinas-theft-of-us-agriculture-tech-secrets-is-enormous-national-security-threat-analyst_4546159.html?utm_source=uschinanoe&utm_campaign=uschina-2022-06-22&utm_medium=email&est=N7kOnxGtfPlUVXXLV8200nG5y1qR9oEIzhN6%2BAyidQlyWZjrut%2BjNDQoH19J%2Bp0%3D
Is the same thing happening here. I suspect it is and we can look at gold kiwifuit as a prime example along with the Dairy Industry.
Most likely communism in china will destroy any gains over time.
Again a good read.
A woman was having a daytime affair while her husband was at work.
One rainy day she was in bed with her boyfriend when, to her horror,
she heard her husband’s car pull into the driveway. ‘Oh my God – Hurry!
Grab your clothes and jump out the window. My husband’s home early!’
‘I can’t jump out the window. It’s raining out there!’
‘If my husband catches us in here, he’ll kill us both!’ she replied. ‘He’s got
a hot temper and a gun, so the rain is the least of your problems!’
So the boyfriend scoots out of bed, grabs his clothes and jumps out the
window! As he ran down the street in the pouring rain, he quickly
discovered he had run right into the middle of the town’s annual marathon,
so he started running along beside the others, about 300 of them.
Being naked, with his clothes tucked under his arm, he tried to blend in
as best he could. After a little while a small group of runners who had
been watching him with some curiosity, jogged closer. Do you always
run in the nude?’ one asked.
‘Oh yes!’ he replied, gasping in air. ‘It feels so wonderfully free!’
Another runner moved a long side. ‘Do you always run carrying your
clothes with you under your arm?’
‘Oh, yes’ our friend answered breathlessly. ‘That way I can get
dressed right at the end of the run and get in my car to go home!’
Then a third runner cast his eyes a little lower and asked, ‘Do you
always wear a condom when you run?’
‘Nope.. just when it’s raining.
Have a fun day
FAAAAARRRKK!
I think I may do myself in.

An Obituary printed in the London Times
Posted by Ian Armstrong
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
Why the early bird gets the worm;
Life isn’t always fair; and
Maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.
Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realise that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;

Guess cindy ordered him to help hide all the bad stats… most open and transparent govt ever
If this Legislation passes, all Statistics gathered in this country under that Legislation will become about as useful as any figures from the last Census which the useless prick, Jimmy Two Mums was in charge off, which was not only an absolute shambles but a total disgrace.
And that was swept under the carpet by Cindy and her Government.

Hooligan just imagine tho, homelessness and poverty will have disappeared, maori will make up 92% of our population but only 4% of crime stats…. everything will be better//

She has succeeded in this, the stats don’t lie.
95% of statistics are misleading.
It’s actually 96.7%, but rounding off is OK.
THE ATTACK ON BETHLEHAM COLLEGE
This article (Courtesy of The Daily Examiner NZ), will no doubt be of interest to some of the membership, although I doubt that the ‘stirrers’ leading the protest would be brave-enough to try-on something similar against an institution of Muslim or Sikh learning.

Stay of the drugs bro, youre ignoring 98+% of your heritage to succumb to a woke trend.
Tabuvae Tamihana doesn’t sound very Maori to me. Why doesn’t he change his name to something more in tune with his lifestyle like “Mentally challenged racist fuckwit attention seeking cretin” ? Now that has a ring to it.
Perfect.
He’s going for the queer vote too!
He’s going to tick all the boxes!
Sorry, I forgot to add ” Filthy unwashed hippy scumbag bell end homo unshaven rent boy bludging cock sucking sociopath”. I think that pretty much covers things.
Boxes are not his thing, perhaps we can come up with another thing for him to tick.

But, but, having a ‘Maori’ name SELLS THINGS to gullible tourists (Especially the Chinese and Americans), so from a marketting perspective it’s a very smart move.

I begrudgingly went to our School ‘Matariki’ show last night.
Between songs- There was a Matariki ‘expert’ rather rudely lecturing us all on Maori science..
Did you know that there are hundreds of sacred Maori stars? Many that can’t be seen without a telescope??
(I wanted to put my hand up and ask the obvious question- But I was already feeling rather guilty for being White..)
I got up to let one of the dogs out this morning at 5.45 and looked up at the sky, but couldn’t see this so called Matariki at all, a few stars out and the moon was great, but not a star in place for the Maori new year. This bullshit has to stop. They need to get real and stop this rubbish.

Sarah Pallett, Labour MP for Ilam believes that males have the biological material and parts to carry and birth a child.

Just had a look at her, and she looks crazy, which is what she is. No man who was born a man in the history of the Universe has ever birthed a child. FFS was she drunk or on drugs when she said that? Please correct me if I am wrong. This is going past the point of ridiculous. And if our parliamentarians believe this we are well and truely fucked.
I happened to come across the statement while perusing Facebook. I immediately wrote to her via her parliamentary address and suggested that she polish up her CV as next year she is certainly going to be turfed out on her smelly arse. Fuckin clown.

Looks like that NATO meeting may prove to be disaster for dl. 🙂
Robert Hunter, U.S. Ambassador to NATO from 1993-1998 :—
…. One thing is certain for the summit: Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, will make a spirited presentation by video.
He will underscore the suffering in Ukraine, with graphic pictures; point out that the West is tolerating a war of attrition, limited to Ukraine; and demand more practical military support than the allies will be prepared to provide.
That will be the emotional high point at Madrid. ….
.
….. It would be far better to postpone the summit rather than risk seeing it fail, as is now likely.
Bureaucratic inertia is driving the process forward.
But political leaders, notably President Biden, need to see farther and put off the summit. ….
https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2022/06/17/this-years-nato-summit-should-be-postponed/

Seems like a lot of symptoms of European stupidity coming to the fore.

How will Ardern compete compared to Zelenksyy?
Will Ardern tell all of Europe that New Zealand can not reduce emmissions to compensate for firing up all those European coal-fired power stations?
Europe is going to go to war on itself, as previously (I saw) it was Russia that supplied Europe approx 70% of the coal to Europe.
Lets see Ardern get caught up in that “tar baby”. 🙂
Oh silly, DL will spread her unicorn magic at NATO on how she has stopped all the bad guns in NZ and she only has to look at Ukraine for the same to happen. Mr Putin won’t be able to resist her call for “kindness” and will withdraw all his nasty weapons back into Russia and pop them away for ever. She may finish off with a little dance of triumph!

Imagine if Putin fired a rocket on the meeting. One can dream I suppose.
A young man with his pants hanging half off his ass, two gold front teeth, and a half inch thick gold chain around his neck; walked into the local Welfare office to pick up his check.
He marched up to the counter and said, “Hi. You know, I just hate drawing welfare. I’d really rather have a job. I don’t like taking advantage of the system, getting something for nothing.”
The social worker behind the counter said “Your timing is excellent. We Just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter. You will have to drive around in his 2022 Mercedes-Benz CL, and he will supply all of your clothes.”
“Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You’ll also be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips. This is rather awkward to say but you will also have, as part of your job, the assignment to satisfy her sexual urges as the daughter is in her mid-20’s and has a rather strong sex drive.”
The guy, just plain wide-eyed, said, “You’re bullshittin’ me!”
The social worker said, “Yeah, well… you started it.”

One day, the donkey told the tiger, “The grass is blue.”
The tiger replied, “No, the grass is green.”
The argument got so heated that the two decided to approach the lion.
As they approached the lion’s throne, the donkey screamed: “Your highness, isn’t it true that the grass is blue?”
The lion shrugged and said: “If you believe it is true, then the grass is blue.”
The donkey screamed: “The tiger disagrees with me, contradicts me, and annoys me. Please punish him!”
“The tiger will be punished with 3 days of silence,” said the lion.
The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, taunting the tiger, “The grass is blue! The grass is blue!”
The tiger looked up at the lion and asked: “Your majesty, why have you punished me? You know the grass is green.”
The lion said: “You’ve also known and seen the grass is green.”
“Then why the punishment?” the tiger asked.
“The punishment,” said the lion, “has nothing to do with the grass. It’s because a brave, intelligent creature like you would spend your valuable time arguing with an ass. And, on top of that, you came and bothered me with that fool, just to validate something you knew was true.”
It’s a timeless lesson, but even more relevant in our own social media-fueled day: .
Never waste time on arguments that don’t make any sense.
Some people don’t care about the truth. Others are blinded by ego, hatred, and resentment.
Ignorance is its own form of punishment. There’s no need for you to waste your time.
That’s one thing that keeps people from success: arguing with asses.
Who was laughing at aussie blackout threats the other week?
Transpower has issued blackout warnings to nz as there is “insufficient energy to meet demand”… 23 days into winter and the shit is hitting the fan, im sure the proposed solar andcwind farms will solve it//
Oh yeah cant forget that pumped hydro either!
Crap now thats triggered the conspiracy theorist within to question weather a winter of blackouts is designed to make a valid case for the pumped hydro perpetual motion machine.
So no wind is part of the problem. …. hmmm ….
…. Transpower has warned there is a nationwide risk of power cuts before 9am on Thursday morning, saying there is insufficient generation to meet demand in the event of an unexpected event.
.
The national grid operator advised power companies of a “grid emergency” shortly before 8am, calling on them to put any unused generation on the market and to cut demand by turning off supplies to controllable hot water systems. ….
.
It warned that if the response from power companies was insufficient it might need to “manage demand” by disconnecting power supplies “without further notice”, which would mean a repeat of the power cuts that occurred on August 9 last year, when power was cut to 34,000 homes. …..
.
the shortage on Thursday had been caused by an issue at the Stratford “TCC” gas power plant, which is owned by Contact Energy, and a sudden drop in wind speeds.
.
It expected it would be able to get through the “morning peak” thanks to power companies managing ripple-controlled water unless anything unexpected happened, he said. ….. ….

Europe is starting up its coal fired stations. Where will they source the coal and at what price $$??
Has New Zealand got enough Indonesian coal?
No but we have a shitload of various grades of NZ coal.
That we are not allowed by cindy to mine!
I ran across this seemingly new power of the Commerce Commission. They can force a decrease in capital expenditure in gas pipelines.
“NZ regulator orders pipeline industry to cut investment
NEW ZEALAND pipeline companies have been authorised by the energy regulator to increase their prices but have been ordered to cut capital investment into infrastructure.”
Seriously insane.
And these pricks in Government want everyone to run an Electric Vehicle. Useless Fuckwits.
Mind you Cindy has an Government supplied EV, an Equine Vehicle I believe.
Yep ^
Ripple controlled ev’s ??
Oh, no! They will be priority charging. Orders from cindy!
Equine?
One with plenty of horsepower?
Good, lets hope we have lots of cuts incuding sme l;ong cold ones.. Piss off the hoi poloi and then they will stop this no coal no gas bullshit. Need a fucking lesson in deprerivation.
I do remember when we used to have them sometimes – late 50’s? The difference in those days we had a coal range that did heating and cooking, power would have mainly been for fridge, lights and radio.
Never mind, I have a generator that will do the basics here – computer.
FJA
1970’s I recall, when the only lights on was Waikato Hospital, everything was in darkness, when coming through by train in the early morning. as no lights on in towns.
Thot is when hot water ripple controls came in.
The concept of the emergency crises worry in now declared over in the 10’o’clock news.
When they caint charge their cars to go shopping for esential suppies is going to be the killer!
You really really need to upgrade the electricity supplies labour!
No point asking cindy because she is outta here after christmas!
Agree. We had minus 8 this morning. I wonder how efficient the old electric car will be in these temperatures? Will it start in a frost? How long does it take for the heater to work and how much drain on the battery? Any of you clever folk know?
I was just reading about this on Newshub (https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2022/06/transpower-issues-grid-emergency-notice-amid-freezing-temperatures.html) and I just CAN’T figure out how we’ve got into this mess…

The same thing was said 100 years ago and every generation since.
when I wanted my first house the banks didn’t even lend the money. The Lawyers had all the trust fund money and that was who you went to.
The growth of non bank lending is increasing. Now 14% of all lending on housing. The banks are losing that game.

Is the company jet back yet after getting fixed?
Which airline does cindy fly commercial with. Is it all with Air NZ. Bet it’s not Emirates!
NZ7571 17 June planned to public, Wellington/Christchurch, got lost flew to Ohakea Base
Planned then N/A, was Ohakea to Auckland within hour of lost flight
NZ7571 18 June Auckland to Ohakea and returned to Auckland flight time 2 hours 5 mins
NZ7571 last flew 20 minutes around Auckland on the 19 June
Would be interesting to know who went to Auckland for a Saturday night and chauffeured back next day.
NZ 7572 appears not to have flown for months? Has it been mothballed?
Emirates does appear to have the effect of a raging boner in some individual in the past..

UK declares ‘national incident’ after polio detected in London sewage samples
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2022/06/uk-declares-national-incident-after-polio-detected-in-london-sewage-samples.html
Polio was linked due excessive use of DDT by Farmers. But never admitted. Symptoms the same. Was “cured” by vaccine salesmen. The same maelfactors who introduced it.
If you ever want to understand where the vaccine sales-pitch was developed. Visit a vetenarian. They have miracle vaccine cures for every pet ailment under the sun. Monthly boosters, the lot. We peoples were targetted like cattle for a vaccine sales-blitz.
One of the worst was footrot vaccines.
Have good cause to suspect, and do suspect that these were better at spreading the disease than they were at suppressing the disease!
What else would you expect after letting half of Wogistan in the front door!
Good news:
National Party President Peter Goodfellow has announced he is retiring from the position and will not seek re-election at the next annual conference in August.
https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/06/23/national-party-president-peter-goodfellow-to-retire/
Goodfellow’s re-election last year caused ripples after former MP and Speaker Sir David Carter quit the board over his re-election.
It came amid concerns about the selection process for candidates, amid some high-profile scandals.
About time. Maybe the best thing to happen for National. Hopefully someone like Steven Joyce will come in and clean house, including putting pressure on Luxon to either shape up or ship out.
Best thing he’s every done for national, ever!
What a great idea. Jopyce will make a good driver for them.
to be encouraged.
Goodfellow is handing over in another form of control, that is to Luxon.
Same old,
Just as Ardern knows that New Zealand will continue the agenda under Luxon.
Luxon is labour in a blue 👗
S1
I do not think Luxon has any control over the President of the party and probably cannot exert much influence on him or her. But I think the opposite could occur. Even though Luxon is elected by the caucus I think the Board and President could exert some influence on him.
Excellent news.
From BFD they say he is only stepping down as President but will remain as a member of the Board. So not really the good news we all thought it was.
It is good to see some balance is being returned to the Media and broadcasting in this country.
I am referring to “The Platform” which you can download the App or listen online, if you already haven’t. While their listening numbers may not yet be up there, they do need you as an audience and participation to succeed and grow.
Moreover, without the substantial financial support and funding from two individuals Wayne & Chloe Wright of Omokoroa, this balancing of the media books would not have happened.
“
It is good to see some balance is being returned to the Media and broadcasting in this country.”
It’s not happening. Controlled dissent is propaganda 101.
Msm is with false or misleading on almost all issues. Everything is run through the far left totalitarian filter.

https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2022/06/nz-recruiter-concerned-as-thousands-of-kiwis-expected-to-leave-country.html
The funny thing is he took my excellent advice and left himself.
I suspect those comments may have been made prior to the general realisation of the total incompetence of this Government by the masses who after 2 years of restrictions are starting to say – what the hell am I doing here.
” so in Australia, the salaries sit around $62,000 versus New Zealand it sits at mid-$40,000.
“It’s the same with nurses, same with teachers, baristas in Western Australia are getting $100,000, dishwashers are getting $90 an hour in Sydney…it’s hard to compete.”
FJA
The only thing I like about NZ is the natural environment. The people are largely disgusting.
I find Queenslanders disgusting. In fact Australians, in general, are bolshy loudmouths and I have very little time for any of them. My time here is coming to and end and quite frankly it cant come soon enough.
I don’t mind brash Aussies but I’d definitely pick Thailand over Aus. The Thai people were good to me.
Mikey, yes you are right, offensive, loudmouth, rude Australians are a some of what drove us out of the place after years of living there.
Most of them currently have taken a backward step from their convict days.
You set a fine example everyday.

I wonder if Kate will work out why she has destroyed her immune system, the world is headed for a serious health melt down never ever seen before.

Backlog of 50,000 wanting out of here 🤣
The way this lot fudge the figures there is probably a backlog of 50 wanting to come in but it still takes an eternity for the bloated bureaucracy to process them.

Am I the only one here, who mistakenly thought that with the removal of the preflight testing that the unvaxxed could fly off to Oz?
No you are not – have just looked at it, have to have 2 vaccinations. It just shows how up their arse they all are – it is quite clear that they are time limited so all those with their certificate in hand show ing they were vaccinate prior to say December 2021 are basically back to nil level.
We have decided that cannot be bothered with the hassles any more and now have out of date passports to go with our non existent certificates but we do have our good health.

Where is that info from HP?
As I posted the other day an unvaxxed friend of my wife flew Air NZ to Brisbane last week –no masks, no questions asked at either end. She is up in north Qland visiting family at the moment. We see what happens when she comes home.
BTW. I’m not 100% sure if she had a pre flight test or not.
Ross 12…
This is where I was getting the information from….initially couldn’t find a date but I see it is dated 3rd June. You would expect an update if the situation has actually changed, but then we are dealing with a government organisation..
Does your wife’s friend have an Australian passport..

No, I do not think so.

I just checked with my wife. The no mask bit was because she had exemption and that was accepted by AirNZ and Qantas (internal travel leg). Apparently before she booked she got in touch with the Aussie Embassy and they went the Aussie Govt website and even they could not understand it !!!
It could be she has had it easy because it is Queensland, I do not know.

Cost and timeline of Tasman’s Waimea Dam swells again
The estimated cost to complete the Waimea Dam in Tasman has increased again – now to $195 million, according to the organisation in charge of it.
https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/06/23/cost-and-timeline-of-tasmans-waimea-dam-swells-again/
In April, construction costs were estimated to be $185 million, up from the budget of $105 million when it originally signed off by the Tasman District Council in 2018.
The timeline for its completion is also being pushed back once more, with Waimea Water telling the Tasman District Council on Wednesday completion was now forecast to be in February next year.
That’s seven months later than what was expected at the start of this year, and 16 months later than the original plan.

The wonders of our public health system.
Last night Mrs C was extremely unwell with severe stomach cramps and dizziness. At about 8.30 I decided to call an ambulance to get her some treatment. Dispatcher told me that they would send one but could take several hours and that if I could get her to the hospital or an emergency clinic it would probably be better. Not being keen on the hospital I took her to the closest after hours emergency in Takapuna, about half an hours drive. Can’t fault the service provided at Shorecare, she got straight in and the doctor was excellent. The medication they provided helped and she improved, but they were unable to diagnose the cause and decided to refer her to North Shore hospital for some further tests. Arriving at NSH was like being in some dystopian movie set. Greeted by people not fully recognisable under all their “protective” garb. To admit her they demanded a RAT test which she refused. We made it clear that neither of us had any covid symptoms and did not need to be tested. However hospital “policy” is that you either test or if not you are placed on a covid ward, with presumably infected people. That makes a lot of sense. In the end Mrs C decided on a third option and I took her home.
Thankfully today she is much better so couldn’t have been anything too serious.
It does show that coercion is alive and well in the public health system. I now wish I had asked them how many other diseases that she doesn’t have would they like to test her for? Smallpox, Typhoid, Ebola the list is endless.
Seems it is not restricted to Auckland.

I don’t understand. When Omicron isn’t life threatening, why are they still insisting on tests. They are saying the current flu is worse. Nobody in the health system dares ask.
Because it is not about health Pinky1 anymore than mandated jabs were.
Not being a dick here and i wasnt there to exp how bad it was but why call for an ambo and not just drive to ED in the first place?
Imo ambos are for life threatening situations of severe injury, there overwhelmed and burnt out because many are treating the service as a taxi for mild illness.
It didn’t appear mild at the time SB. Even though Mrs C is not overweight I struggled to get her into and out of the car as she couldn’t support herself at the time. Hence calling the ambo. You will learn one day that aging brings new problems that we wouldn’t notice in our youth.
Algood curious, as i said i wasnt there so cant really judge.
I know ppl around here that have literally called an ambo for so much dumb stuff, headache, sore neck, an old duck down the road called one because she thought she had covid (sore throat). Wifeys mate just started driving an ambo start of the year and its eyewatering hearing how much of their time is wasted on pathetic non urgent stuff, ED staff have the same problem too.
I think ppl have forgotten that the bulk of st johns are volunteers and have better stuff to do then have their time wasted

Spare a thought for poor ole Michael O’Leary, Chief Executive of Ryanair.
After arriving in a hotel in Manchester, he went to the bar and asked for a pint of Guinness.
The barman nodded and said, “That will be £1 please, Mr. O’Leary.”
Somewhat taken aback, O’Leary replied, “That’s very cheap,” and handed over his money.
“Well, we do try to stay ahead of the competition”, said the barman. “And we are serving free pints every Wednesday from 6 pm until 8 pm. We have the cheapest beer in England”.
“That is remarkable value”, Michael comments.
“I see you don’t seem to have a glass, so you’ll probably need one of ours. That will be £3 please.”
O’Leary scowled, but paid up.
He took his drink and walked towards a seat. “Ah, you want to sit down?” said the barman. “That’ll be an extra £2. You could have pre-booked the seat, and it would have only cost you £1.”
“I think you may be too big for the seat sir, can I ask you to sit in this frame please”.
Michael attempts to sit down but the frame is too small and when he can’t squeeze in, he complains “Nobody would fit in that little frame”.
“I’m afraid if you can’t fit in the frame you’ll have to pay an extra surcharge of £4 for your seat sir”.
O’Leary swore to himself, but paid up. “I see that you have brought your laptop with you” added the barman. “And since that wasn’t pre-booked either, that will be another £3.”
O’Leary was so incensed that he walked back to the bar, slammed his drink on the counter, and yelled, “This is ridiculous, I want to speak to the manager”.
“I see you want to use the counter,” says the barman, “that will be £2 please.”
O’Leary’s face was red with rage. “Do you know who I am?”
“Of course I do Mr. O’Leary.”
“I’ve had enough! What sort of a Hotel is this? I come in for a quiet drink and you treat me like this. I insist on speaking to a manager!”
“Here is his e-mail address, or if you wish, you can contact him between 9.00 am and 9.01am every morning, Monday to Tuesday at this free phone number. Calls are free, until they are answered, then there is a talking charge of only £1 per second, or part thereof”.
“I will never use this bar again”.
“OK sir, but do remember, we are the only hotel in England selling pints for £1.”

https://www.interest.co.nz/rural-data/dairy-industry-payout-history
We’re in for a repeat of 2014/2015. Many had carried on spending as they believed the payout to stay at the forcast 8-9bux… there were tears and devestation when it was finalised in march/april and dropped below 5 bux and the following season even worse.
It may not happen this season but guarantee it will happen in the next year or 2 and dumbarse cockies never learn.
Also watch the grain price skyrocket, its already horrendous and short supply now with an every higher payout farmers will push it up further… more grain will get planted thats algood but same as a few years ago the dairy payout will crash and there will be a huge glut of grain with no buyers. With the cost of fuel fert and chemical now the outlay to cropping farmers would put a fair few under if the arse fell out of grain price.

And Williamson has called for the party to re-open nominations for the National Party board, saying others would have put their names forward had they known earlier.
Goodfellow announced this morning he would retire as president at the party’s annual conference in August – but still intended to seek re-election as board director.
There are three spaces on the board as the terms of Goodfellow, Rachel Bird and Sir Graeme Harrison end, but all three said they were seeking re-election. No other names were put forward by the time nominations closed on June 21. The president is elected by the board after the party’s membership elects the board members.

How the Nats think they are going to win with this type of garbage going on escapes me.
Wasn’t it Williamson and old man Slater who revitalised the NP years ago?

New Orleans Startup Turns Glass Into Sand—And They’ve Recycled 2 Million Pounds in 2 Years
BY Anna Mason TIMEApril 18, 2022 PRINT
A startup company in New Orleans has been making headlines for its genius approach to recycling glass into sand.
After it comes out of the machine, it’s then sifted into different sizes so that it’s more uniform.
“Each of those sizes can be used for different things, so the smaller stuff is good for sandblasting and the coarse sand is good for coastal restoration,” she explained. “Gravel is good for, like, rain gardens and making new glass pieces and things like that.”
They currently have five different sizes of sand and almost six different color choices.

GOP Lawmaker Seeks to Have Fentanyl Designated as Weapon of Mass Destruction
By Hannah Ng

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) on June 13 introduced a bill that seeks to label the synthetic opioid fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction (WMD).
The “Fentanyl is a WMD Act” would, if enacted, instruct the assistant secretary for the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office within the Department of Homeland Security to treat the deadly drug as a WMD.
The synthetic opioid, which is 100 more potent than morphine, would then be put under the oversight of several agencies, including the Department of Justice, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and the Department of Defense.
Those agencies would join together in the concerted effort to issue the necessary administrative directive to eliminate the threat from this deadly substance, according to a press release from Boebert’s office.

reliminary data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that fentanyl was involved in 77 percent of overdose deaths in the United States in 2021, accounting for about 71,000 deaths.
A report from the District of Colorado U.S. Attorney’s Office said state law enforcement has seized over 2 million dosage units of synthetic opioids over the first five months of 2022, an increase of 20 percent compared to the entire year of 2021.
Oh dear, remember the last episode of WMDs… is china and mexico going to get invaded by usa this round?

Politicians give their take on Nanaia Mahuta’s family member appointments
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2022/06/politicians-give-their-take-on-nanaia-mahuta-s-family-member-appointments.html
Opposition parties have accused Mahuta of a lack of transparency, but one former National Minister said his old party has a history of giving family members of ministers public sector jobs – so why the double standard?
Mahuta’s whanau is big, influential and dedicated to Māoridom, which means a lot of declaring conflicts of interest as a Government minister.
“It’s very hard in the Māori world because everybody’s connected, related, friends. It’s a small world, so we have to be extra careful,” said Minister for Māori Development Willie Jackson.
There are some who contend Mahuta hasn’t been careful enough.
Whew,
All explained then.
Nothing to see.
Another fake story by a scammer who makes money from enslaving people in debt servitude and usary. These parasites contribute nothing to society and should be purged.
This is the worse time to buy. Interest rates are rising and prices falling, but have only just begun to fall. So it’s massive debt and high interest. For a depreciating asset.
These Ponzi schemes need to end.
