It looks like Winston has saved Simon Bridges a job saying it is unlikely to do a deal with National as they will not increase the Pension age.
https://www.msn.com/en-nz/news/national/nationals-superannuation-proposal-could-rule-out-coalition-with-nz-first/ar-AAGld1C
Now Simon has the opportunity every time it surfaces about going into a Coalition with
Winston is to say Winston has already ruled out working with us and let the media make assumptions.
That announcement was a way of saying National would not have Peters as a coalition partner.
Winston has 3 incomes his MP salary, his MP super and his NZ super.
How greedy can one be?
“Spend it quickly, Mr Bond” (Peters!)
Plus his missus is self supporting.
and a lot more as well from”investments” and Court challenges.
As long as National does not touch the greens. No Col with them ever.
Deserves more than one uptick!!
I think the Nats will be navel gazing for a while yet.
Not getting any decent prime time, air time, is really putting the brakes on them spreading the message to the masses.
MSM are so bias they believe we should be ruled by the dweebs for Ardernity.
It seems like Jamie Lee Ross has realized his chances to win a seat at the next Election are slim so has decided to become nark and rat out National to the as many people say the not so truthful and a not so honest wannabe
Jounalist Matt Nippet.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12261215
This over a $150,000.donation to the National Party in 2016 that was apparently arranged the Trade Minister Todd McClay.
is Jamie Lee related to Winston?
Has Winston paid back our $156,000 yet? If not, why not.
The old coot should donate it to the SPCA. I insist.
How’s your ball-less moggy recovering from surgery. Has he been giving you filthy looks!?
They seem to have the same entitlitis to their place in National. Have me or I will bring you down. Do MP’s undergo personality testing? Perhaps it should become a thing.
Perhaps insurance details should be included in the tenancy agreement, should there be a portion of rent that is for tenant’s insurance?
https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/115284661/new-rules-take-effect-for-rental-property-market
Jesus Rachael don’t give them to many ideas the next they be wanting a chef to cook healthy meals.
It will soon be compulsory to leave a list of the local lawnmowers phone numbers for all incoming renters.
Local Exorcist to rid your house of evil vermin the Govt says you can’t kick out.
Seems a tenant can wreck a place, owe $$, but ends up paying it back 5 bucks a week. Yay. It’s going to be even tougher for those without a squeaky clean record and no pets/kids to find anything decent. Year of Delivery everyone! 🙂
Perhaps not as a portion of the rent but let out as rent + Insurance if its itemised there won ‘t be any doubt what it is going for and would cover the insurance so the landlord would be covered for loss if the renter causes this. All renters should have insurance as should car owners.
The tenant should have their own insurance for accidental damage. Why is the tenants carelessness the landlords responsibility?
Is this the start of the nanny state policy being negotiated between Health Officals and the Goverment.
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/08/justice-minister-andrew-little-warns-alcohol-industry-a-law-review-is-on-the-cards.html
The best way around this is bring in Health insurance and then people will think differently about alcohol and drugs, this is the largest reason our mental health problem are so high and penalizing others for the stupidity of those that don’t worry is insane.
Ummm don’t our taxes pay for this? Perhaps for alcohol and drug related causes for hospital treatment there should be an extra charge.
Happy and I are planning on going to see the alleged offender at Labour Youth Camp on Thursday 5 Sept at the Auckland District Court. Is anyone else planning on going there on the day or earlier in the week?
Don’t leave your personal information for all to see. I deleted your post yesterday. We cannot be too careful these days.
I would go on the first day. The charges will be dismissed due to lack of evidence.
Lack of evidence with four complainants? I was a jury on a rape trial that took 3 days and there was no evidence. The jury was out for less than 30 minutes.
We are talking about the Liarbour Pardy here chuck. No one will turn up and give evidence.
If they can convict someone for reading a killers manifesto in a matter of weeks, why do you think this has taken so long?
If it is correctly reported this is a jury trial with four complainants. Do you really believe that none will front up?
Four young people under 20 years of age who have their life in front of them.
They will be blocked from progressing in Central Govt; Local govt; NGOS etc if they squeal on the Labour party. That is 40% plus of employment in NZ.
If they are heading off to University then most Uni letcherers are Labour or Green activists or sympathisers.
One of their foot soldiers (or Lieutenant; Jan the Ban) blocked Don Brash from speaking at Massey Agricultural college last year.
There are plenty of ways these low life creeps (Liebour) will block the paths of any complainants.
But they are all for improved Mental Health and Feelz.
Yeah Right.
Chuck, you underestimate the reach of evil.
Howitis, if the four were not prepared to take the stand there is no way this would proceed to a jury trial. We shall see in a short time.
Well done Ed
Media are unadulterated filth.
Lest we forget.
Will you be reporting on this Chuck? Please? An unbiased report would be very welcome.
I will but will be limited on what I can report due to likely suppression orders.
That anyone showed up would be a good start.
More ball gags, are they de jour?
This is disgusting but there has been one that would fill a double decker bus in England lol

No toilet paper in Gizzy, they wipe their arse with rags!
Still better than dragging it down the lawn!
Using arse paper is pretty gross when you think about it. Over here, using the bum gun is common practice.
A little place called Obbia. You know that, its where I met your Mum stoopid. She is still heavily involved in the family pirating business, bless her.
Poor Jacinda (not) and Liebore have been caught flat footed by National’s policy announcements yesterday. Listening to her waffle through her interview with Ferguson on Morning Report was good comedy. Her made up for the moment excuse that Labour will keep the age at 65 because we do more manual work in this country was novel and just highlighted her stupidity with social and fiscal policy.
Yes but..
I do agree we need to do something about the cost of NZ super.
But what?
means test or raise the age?
Some people cannot work past 65 or could not move to an easier job
(but then again many builders etc end up at Mitre 10 or Bunnings where they are a good asset)
Melahi, us tail end boomers are not responsible for the generosity of National super. In fact many of us would like to undo the Social Welfare folly of those who came before. Problem is, we have those who are that illiterate and ignorant that they want to keep expanding it, despite the consequences of doing so.
How come they always rip into the old age pensioner but add thousnds of bennies on at the other end! Start getting the money back from state house repairs as well!
It’s like Cindy with the petrol tax!
Aww, so you got burnt. Pyramid scheme? Probably was offering 10%+ return. So you signed up? A greedy fool and their money are soon parted. The higher the return, the bigger the risk..but you would have known that, so YOU get no sympathy from me. Why come down so hard on pensioners? They HAVE paid taxes all their working life, they deserve a state pension. Now, bludgers, unemployed who won’t work, women that spit out babies like there’s no tomorrow, ‘sickness’ beneficiaries..the list is long. They can all fuck off. Most deserve nothing except a good kick in the arse. Leave the oldies alone.
So the ones who have always been on the take keep on taking
while those who have given shall never receive.
Pure Liebour right there.
Have you been drinking?
Two more years that Maori will miss out on the pension, due to their dying earlier. You would have to say that their Maori genes, if they have sway, are not as beneficial healthwise as their European or ‘other’ genes.
Yes their genes are a violent warrior gene and also probably as has been proven with africans a lower IQ as well.
I do feel sorry for Maori as they tend to die earlier (but some of it is their own fault)
They die before they get much super.
But as many of them are unemployed or on dpb etc for years and years they don’t pay much tax if any
I was playing Devil’s advocate but if I was part Maori, I know which part I would want to dominate.
Surely it averages itself out. The cost of criminals, DPB and dole recipients that are maori out ways any monetary loss they suffer from not living as long as non maori?
Hullkiwi her interview with Hosking she floundered to make comment about her partners comments or should I say lies in the media over the last couple of days, which has been removed quickly after it was proved to be false.
Has the tosser gone into hiding ?
You read about his stupid comments but lately never see him.
Must be time for another jaunt up to the islands with our Navy so he can go fishing.
I keep an eye on his Social Media- He comes and goes a bit! I noted he disappeared for a couple of months last year- About the same time a certain scandal hit the Govt!
Just a coincidence surely??
Maybe he should go on another trip with Emirates.
HC, her Tuesday interviews on RNZ and with Hosking are always good for a laugh as she is always shown up as:
1. A liar;
2. A vacant airhead with limited compotence;
3. An incompotent bint, who should not have a ministerial warrant of state;
4. Someone who should not be a MP;
5. Illierate, ignorant example of what not to do at university;
6. A fraud who has as much empathy with the subject until her next “good news” story;
7. Someone who gets bad advice and wouldn’t know good advice if it hit her in the face…..
We should also lower the age of retirement due to incompetence. To ahhhh…..ummmmm How old is Ardern again?
She can’t exist on the fumes from a hijab for much longer.
Her stint as this country’s top rep is limited.
She could then do her dream job.
Mowing lawns.
Mt Albert won’t vote her out.
The last few weeks have been real quiet up here in Northland, a lot of my customers – us included are having the worst month in a long time. Anyone else having the same problem?
Well it much the same elsewhere my garage that does my mechanical work and warrant of fitness closed last week after being a family business four or five Generations. Do you think Shane Jones has done enough up their to take the seat from National.
Well he has planted 37 trees !
It is the middle of winter!
In the winterless north?
Rachael, so winter less wave had rain 27 days out of 27 in our part of Northland….
Cold?
I am a capitalist, I pay plenty of tax and employ staff that are very well looked after. You aren’t by chance that Heinous looking fat chick who draped the “tax the rich”sign off the motorway bridge a while back are you?
Good on ya mate. We need far more capitalists willing to do the hard yards. Don’t listen to Winston, capitalism is not dead, but he and his parliamentary pirates are killing the economy. Best of luck with your business. Batten down the hatches till after the next election.
Its been a hard few months for retailers.
Tourist numbers also down.
Not surprising – the shooting of the camper van driver will have an effect.
The result of that is still to come!
Just had our worst month in3-4 years. Lots of others talking the same. And that’s in Tauranga. But can’t get builders for love nor money.
The Coalitions must be taking a hiding in their internal polls because the media have started a song about the attack ads from Simon Bridges being dirty Politics.
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/voters-warned-prepare-dirty-politics-battle-steps-up-online-year-election-v1?auto=6077206675001
The media are a joke and they wonder why they are going broke, politically naive and corrupt might be the first problem they may have to address.
Dirty politics
Tamati Coffee’s baby nappies are pretty dirty.
Cannabis referedum at the same time as an election is dirty politics
Trying to lower the voting age is dirty politics
And so is registering to vote in your pyjamas at your local Countdown.
Nothing wrong with ugg boots.
You’d rock them Rachael!
I have been a wee bit broken for a few weeks but bought this absolutely outrageous cheap white capey thing lined with faux fur, too good for the ugg boots but dashing with over the knee boots.
Thought you’d been a bit quiet. Hope all is well now.
Are you the good witch from the north?
Like the good guys had white hats and badies black.
First time for everything I guess, but it is fun wearing something so outrageous, that women in clothing malls and jewellery stores ask where you go it. I haven’t worn it down the farm yet. 😉
Especially when it only cost $50.00 🙂
I’ll ask the Editor if he’ll let you post a pic of you outside Countdown in your favourite garb
Now that would definitely not be suitable for Countdown lol I prefer the Zsa Zsa Gabor living on Green Acres look lol.
I once wore high heels down to check on the pigs, I ended up having one foot either side of a low electric wire and the ring in the pig’s nose got caught in the bottom of my skirt. We both squealed a lot lol. 😉
You should have grabbed the pig then the wire and the shock goes right thru you to the pig.
Seemed easier just to rip the skirt lol, but I was glad that there was no one watching or taping it all. And no I didn’t learn my lesson.
Eva Gabor not Zsa Zsa
Apologies
Stokes Valley Chic ..2019
Chloe? I used to have orange caveman slippers, I haven’t gone down the onsie track though.
I always imagined a onsie would be really annoying for women when you needed a pee. ?
Probably less than a chastity belt was lol, locksmiths would have been in demand during the Crusades.
Judge finds Johnson and Johnson responsible for Oklahoma opioid crisis, must cough up NZ$895m
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2019/08/judge-finds-johnson-and-johnson-responsible-for-oklahoma-opioid-crisis-must-cough-up-nz-895m.html
“During the trial, lawyers for Oklahoma argued that J&J carried out a years-long marketing campaign that minimized the painkillers’ addiction risks and promoted their benefits.”
“Opioids were involved in almost 400,000 overdose deaths from 1999 to 2017, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Since 2000, some 6,000 Oklahomans have died from opioid overdoses, according to the state’s lawyers.”
OxyContin is known as ‘Hillbilly heroin’
Thankfully I was never exposed to the stuff in my USA days. I did have an uncle who died of a heart attack age 48 from 20 years of meth addiction and chain-smoking non filtered ciggies.
Any responsibility on Drs prescribing it? At one stage Tauranga had a big problem with it, I don’t know about now.
Bloody hell I thought that I replied, a real picture would have the damn things all around my feet trying and oft succeeding in tripping me up, bless them, so funny. All cupboard love of course.
?
Yours could at least have been more colourful.
For the fiscal year 2017, Johnson & Johnson reported earnings of US$15.3 billion, with an annual revenue of US$81.6 billion, an increase of 6.7% over the previous fiscal cycle. Johnson & Johnson’s shares traded at over $126 per share, and its market capitalization was valued at over US$367.5 billion in September 2018
The scandals they have been involved in are nothing short of spectacular
1982 Chicago Tylenol murders
2010 Children’s product recall Tylenol again”higher concentration of active ingredients”
2010 hip-replacement recall, none lasted very long.
2010 Tylenol recall
2010 Shareholders lawsuit.Foreign bribery and illegal marketing of Risperdal. Consumer fraud.
Vaginal mesh implants. The devices began to erode into surrounding tissue and organs,
Baby powder causing cancer
And the opioid epidemic crisis. 500 lawsuits filed.
The Red Cross symbol has been a Johnson & Johnson registered trademark since 1887.
Gets you thinking as to how many soldiers may have made it back to their families.
Isn’t it neat how you can get patents on maiming, murder and masochism.
I thought the talc lawsuit was weird, where are all the other cases? Surely worldwide there would be more than 22.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/12/business/johnson-johnson-talcum-powder.html
yes a company tries to help people and then get sued to hell.
For those wondering why President Trump is pushing hard on trade realignment etc. this article gives a good background and explanation.
“The post-WWII Marshall Plan was set up to allow Europe and Asia to place tariffs on exported American industrial products. Those tariffs were used by the EU and Japan to rebuild their infrastructure after a devastating war. However, there was never a built in mechanism to end the tariffs…. until President Trump came along and said: “it’s over”! ”

How do people like this get to be University lecturers? Utter nonsense.

yes no wonder un-employment has gone down.
They are all working for our universities, the COL, WINZ, and all the government departments in Wellington, plus the 50 new Maori government agencies that no one can pronounce and no one knows what they do.
Ardern is getting slaughtered in the Stuff reader’s comments! Go have a look before they are removed….

Yah! Take the Mad Queen with you!
I wonder what trough she will turn up in?
Does she know the writings on the wall?
She could have sat in the backbenchers if she thought Cindy would get back!
But oh, no. She is doing a runner!
Who knows maybe Woody will join her!
From Toy Story? How apt.
She’s about as useful as a feather anchor. One less leech for the taxpayer to pay.
She’ll still get her pension –
WTF gives with DPF? He has just posted a very gracious breaking news post about Curran. Given, 12 months ago she was everybody’s scapegoat available for a public kicking, it looks like DPF is under pressure to tone KB down further.
I think DPF should change his wikepedia entry to read “Kiwiblog is a sickly white liberal left wing blog”
Instead of sending a letter to Kiwiblog, I decided to take one.
The letter “L”
Good news. Shes as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Clarke Gayford, Chris Bishop clash on Twitter over legislation numbers
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/08/clarke-gayford-chris-bishop-clash-on-twitter-over-legislation-numbers.html
Jethro sticking his oar in. Can’t she handle the jandal herself.
So Jacinda discusses NZ government business with her partner, and he thinks he has a mandate to have a public opinion? Why don’t you run for parliament Clarke, then perhaps you might have a right to have a say. Have we ever had such an uppity parliamentary partner? He should know his place.
Is that like permission? Never asked permission for much so far. 😉
Is Clarke speaking on behalf of the government? As if there aren’t enough paid mouthpieces for that. Are you getting paid to comment Clarke, by who?
What’s the bet that it will be more?

There should be a law against people who give others full facial tattoos like the one on this guy!
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/115286285/armed-gang-member-whose-druginduced-paranoia-led-to-12hour-standoff-restrained-in-dock
OK, I can kind of understand a traditional Maori tattoo but these full facials have no cultural or artistic merit at all, and condemn the person to a life of crime etc.
The Greens, Genter and Co really need to fix this, the world will end in a few years if this keeps up.
Weather Source has recorded 6,902 fires in Angola over the past 48 hours, compared to 3,395 in the Democratic Republic of Congo and 2,127 in Brazil. It’s not an uncommon phenomenon for Central Africa.
So don’t blame Brazil
But they like Brazil with bush, not a Brazillian!
Time to stop building cycle lanes in our cities
Stop wasting our money and wrecking our streets and roads.
Lianne Dalzel would not cycle to to an interview today!

Who was saying about this?

Henry Cooke, pram pusher!
Then apparantly they removed all the comments!
What an evil despicable newspaper
Was that what was referred to earlier? Makes sense now.
They don’t seem to mention Winston’s rating. It seems to be below Simon’s, of course that is different, eh Winston, what a waste.
MSM have sold their souls’ to she who pays the piper. Propaganda is all you hear from the MSM under Ardern’s rule.
To be fair, that is why I post under my own name, my local cops know exactly where to turn up to. They would draw straws.
A policeman’s lot is not a happy one! 🙂
https://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/p/policemanssong.html
I had a ride in kids police car in front of my piss shop, used to drop money in to from time to time, played one of those funny policeman songs.
It seems Bridges’ “negative” hits on Jacinda are working and have got the CoL spinmeisters rattled. The CoL have only Jacinda’s persona and posidivideeee to push as their message, but by all accounts it is wearing thin. Listening to Hooton on RNZ yesterday, he was claiming Jacinda’s popularity is down 15% from its high point. If her rating is down, where is Liebore’s and the CoL’s support? and where are the soft swing voters going?
The poll number is according to URM, Labour’s own pollster.
Chompers is the only thing standing between Labour & a return to the 22% polls of Andy’s 2016. Nothing else has changed. Same crap policies & the same maggoty MPs.
Keep the pressure on…….when she cracks they’re toast!
Under Little they would never have had the chance to find out.
Rachael stupid question for you. What big issues have the CoL taken on to make them unpopular? Other than closing down oil & gas in Taranaki. The rest, there has been a lot of talk, but SFA has been done.
Wearing a hijab – Part Time P.M. – Cancelling road Works – Seeing the Greens close up – Jones $3 billion hand outs – the whole throwing out the handouts – increased taxes, especially petrol. Just a few for starters.
Cindy’s promises of ‘the year of delivery’ has failed to eventuate. Cindy’s following are becoming disappointed and skeptical. Promised a house for everyone! Instead we got Kiwifail, rents have increased, housing is hard to find, petrol prices haven’t ever been higher, traffic has almost ground to a halt in our cities with more and more vehicles on a roads that are falling apart and no new ones built, trees have not been planted, the oil and gas industry is in decline, the cost of living has risen considerably and the economy is in decline…
Why would anyone not question her popularity and incompetent leadership.
Big ones, I don’t know, lots of annoying little ones, has the same effect on me!!!!
Removing dpb sanctions
Making it easy for ferals to stay in state houses for ever
Increasing wages
Adding more leave
Making our economy less competitive
Banning plastic Bags
Banning plastic straws
Setting up lots of maori names organization in health and housing which do nothing
Signing up the UN refugee system
Making petrol cars dearer
Just a few more
Not requiring father’s names on birth certificates is the biggy for me. I might not have ended up liking them but my kids definitely knew who they were.
If the surname fits.
Mountbatten-Windsor is the personal surname used by some of the male-line descendants of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Under a declaration made in Privy Council in 1960, the name Mountbatten-Windsor applies to male-line descendants of the Queen without royal styles and titles.
Once again, they insist Andrew only met Epstein in 1999 but confirmed he had known Ghislaine Maxwell –Epstein’s ex-girlfriend who has been accused by several victims of being his ‘procurer in chief’ – for ‘many years, since she was a student’.
This supports intelligence that Miss Maxwell, daughter of the late newspaper tycoon Robert Maxwell, was instrumental in introducing the prince to the paedophile.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7393521/Prince-Andrew-willing-talk-FBI-requested-Palace-sources-say.html
Unlike Prince Andrew , nobody can accuse his brother Charles of paedophilia. ……possibly necrophilia though!
The blue bloods are no longer untouchable.
The world is awakening.
Richard Branson has an island too. Necker Island. Part of the British Virgin Islands.
He had a pal he used party with, who also had an island not far from him.
Little St James was the name of that island.
Whats that, I hear you say, he has his own personal submarine that he leases to Disney World tours.
Wow, I bet lots of kiddies were really keen to take a ride. Especially the orphans and troubled children, who got to experience something this amazing for free.
There’s so much bullshit flying around concerning the mating habits of the rich & well connected that it’s hard to know what to believe. The assassination of Epstein tends to suggest that he & his mates were up to their wrinkly necks in something that the powerful would rather not have disclosed.
What interests me is what goes on in their minds. Why would those who have attained power, wealth & influence seek sex with children more than the rest of humanity & risk everything by doing so?
Does power corrupt or do the morally corrupt seek power?
Possibly, but if we accept that as the total explanation we’re saying that everyone desires what they do but don’t get the chance to act out their fantasies.
I’ve always hoped & believed that my acquaintances were above that sort of thing.
The answer is this. It’s pure evil.
As I have mentioned, what we live in is a social construct. Somebody made it up.
The elite have constructed a society that best suits them. Why?
Because they are sick. Very sick.
Centuries of in-breeding in their eyes maintains their dominance.
Hence the phrase blue bloods.
Cousin married cousin to gain and retain three things. Money>Power>Control.
Other peoples children are toys,fodder, disposable, to these monsters.
……”The elite have constructed a society that best suits them”……
If you are going to treat kids as ” toys,fodder, disposable” then what you need is a total lack of empathy. The royals & the rich do this by withholding love & affection from a child. The kid booted off to boarding school at six years of age will learn quickly that showing emotion endangers survival.
Without empathy as a handbrake & the right connections with financial backing success is almost guaranteed.
I guess that then, taking what you want comes naturally.
What you are describing is narcissism.
Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others.
This is the key personality trait that drove Epstein.
Hedge Fund Manager? Bullshit.
He blackmailed the elite for the elite.
That’s why he served a pittance of a sentence for having relations with an under age girl.
That is why he had to be silenced.
I think Lord Acton got it right.
“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.”
Take the supposed “incorruptible” Maximilien Robespierre as a prime example of what happens when someone of “high morals” is given power.
Semi-automatics?
