“unseasonable snow falls across south”…. um, stuff you fucking retards its spring, snow is very seasonable in spring you uneducated climate dooming fucktards.
seriously how the fuck do they get away with shit like that, is the editor even more minced then the uneducated gen z losers they employ to write that junk?
Yes snow through the south would be unseasonal in late november but not unheard of , I remember waking up to 2 inches on christmas day , maybe ’76?
Snow is not an unusual for the Southern Hemisphere during Spring. Johannesburg hardly ever gets snow but September 81 was an exception. The Circulation around Antarctica ( Circumpolar Vortex) has been unusual this year, and this is probably linked. It is definitely NOT climate change…..
Likely linked to an increase in sunspot activity.
Climate catastrophists always ignore the effect that big yellow thingy has on our atmosphere.
Ironic that while reticulated electricity has rocketed in price there is an increase of electricity in the air.
my father recalled snow on xmas day in edendale when he was a kid. born in 69 so quite likely the same snow event?
Yep there was snow in Wellington and on Waikanae beech at Xmas many years back.
and just like cindy there aint no man that ever bragged about getting a bj from her!
..probably lost his tackle.
But apparently lots did , as being a good religious girl it was her thing.
hilarious trump joke from sean plonket, quite well done really.

A person has died on Mount Ruapehu.
Local iwi have placed a rāhui over the Tūroa ski area.
A Hato Hone St John spokesperson said they were notified of an incident at Tūroa Ski Field at 12.43pm yesterday.
“One ambulance and one helicopter responded,” the spokesperson said.
The Department of Conservation (DOC) released a statement today announcing that local iwi Ngāti Rangi had placed a rāhui over the ski area at Tūroa.
“They are asking that visitors respect this cultural practice,” the statement said.
“The rāhui acknowledges the sacredness of our maunga, the sacredness of the loss of life and acknowledges the family’s loss.”
The rāhui meant operations on the ski area would be paused to allow for a “quiet time” to heal the mountain.
“This is done to uplift the spirit of the deceased and restore the elements to make it safe for visitors to return,” the statement said.
The rāhui will be lifted at 3pm on Sunday.

so fuck you if you planned a weekend there.
They are losing a weekends money to appease some sursticious arsewipes.
when is anyone going to tell them to go get fucked.
“… to allow for a “quiet time” to heal the mountain.”
Where in Maori literature of the 19th Century is a description of the healing processes of natural items such as rivers or mountains?
makes one wonder how the ever functioned pre european times. widespread cannibalism wouldve meant tribes would be in perpetual rahui.
Perpetual UTU.
Kill the men.
Rape and enslave the women.
and it is said there were no Catholics here way back then.
No cats or dogs either or they would have been eaten along with all the flightless native birds they slaughtered.
My thoughts exactly. Get fucked.
This highlights their stupidity. Where is the Rahul whenever they kill a young child? Doesn’t its spirit need uplifting?
I guess if they did the whole country would be gridlocked weeks on end.
The purpose of a rahui is to demonstrate power over “others” (who are not members of their in-group).
It’s a power play.
If you obey, you are acceding to their demands.
Some Other Cunts Kids don’t Count.
Or “even their own”
The inconvenience caused by the early settlers having a rahui now & again fades into the ether when compared with the actions taken by the police serious crash investigation squad.
Those clowns will shut down SH1 or a city motorway for a day at the drop of a hat when some incompetent drives into a ditch when all that’s required is a hearse, a tow truck & a few photos!
Tail of mouse
Eye of bat
Head of newt

And leg of frog.
No…….it’s not a witch’s potion, it’s the reasons why the council shut down our local kebab shop.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump Absolutely Unloads On ABC Over Presidential Debate With Kamala Harris
At his campaign event in Tucson, Arizona, former President Trump went on a long rant about the ABC News debate and his refusal to do another presidential debate.
So will the people see through the ‘gas lighting’ main stream media claims

Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened the US and Europe with war if Ukraine is allowed to use weapons that could strike deep inside Russia.
The comments came after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken hinted that the White House was looking to lift restrictions on Ukraine using long-range missiles.
Putin said this would in a significant way change the nature of the conflict.“It would mean that Nato countries, the US, European countries, are at war with Russia,” Putin told a state television reporter, according to The Guardian.
“If that’s the case, then taking into account the change of nature of the conflict, we will take the appropriate decisions based on the threats that we will face.”
https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/350415429/putin-threatens-us-europe-war-if-ukraine-allowed-long-range-missiles
British government sources have indicated that a decision had already been made allowing Ukraine to use Storm Shadow cruise missiles on targets inside Russia, according to reporting by The Guardian.
So it looks like Europe will feel the destruction of war once more.
Hypersonic missiles from Russia will make a mess of Paris, Kyiev and other places. Maybe the USA.
They better put Trump in charge very quickly.
President Putin’s response to a journalist’s question to the escalation by the USA & UK.
It is expected that Blinken will announce tomorrow that the US has given Ukraine the greenlight to strike deep inside Russia using Western made Storm Shadow missiles.
This would mean NATO & the US are at war with Russia.
Putin explains their position here

Putin seems to be well focused & certainly puts his finger on where the weak links may be. 🙂
At this point it seems that the US have backed down and have come out and stated that there is no policy change.
Putin is 10 times the statesman of anyone in the west.

As Mark says makes Stasi Starmer look like the idiot that he is.
Russia may most likely target the satellites and the systems that pass on the navigational aids for guiding those long range missiles, just as a taster.
From that what will be NATO’s next step be?
It will change the form of the Russo-Ukraine-Nato war.
War Neocons and City of London are as one.
Stark raving Starmer attacking Russia. UK diplomats just expelled from Moscow. UK Labour trying to incinerate Brexiteers in an east European battle field, to make room for more immigrants in England.

Shane Jones: My party represents overhauling the tsars who have not invested in New Zealand
Thanks Beorn for that video clip..
A good run down of NZ’s “bipolar” electricity system, over layered with the complications of “Distributors” and the “regulations”.
The vid’s algorithm has aligned to Shane Jones’s stars so I see a lot of recent comments.
I slowed the video clip to .75 speed and ran the subtitles, stopping to take in a graphic,.
All up can rattle through it in 7 mins 44 secs.
Not sure I am any the wiser, but it does sort of help seeing it laid out in the “big picture”.
One can see it is a good lurk for the ones in the upper echelons as it seems to have strayed far from KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid.
I see in the comments that “hedging” was raised, which was not fully discussed in the video.
I know in some parts it could be said that Winston’s Pulp were not hedging, signing contracts for so many years ahead.
Often as not, hedging is like paying a premium, hopefully to be just a small bit over the standard price, and so not to be hit with a sharp spike., akin to Insurance.
Though not perfect, as one can figure that the system seems to be ratcheting prices up any way.
Discussed this the other day, with a company had signed up 6 months ago for a 3 year contract.
Grizzled at the price, but now so pleased they did not delay too much.
Trust the young fellow Limi does a follow up on this.
Certainly a topic, that will stay, as without even me raising it, a number of nearby neighbours have raised the issue of electricity power accounts.
Power costs were not the real reason for the mill closing.
Its 40 years old and needed lots of investment to bring it up to speed. That makes it inefficient and a poor use of capital. Along with our Labour laws and the issues with Greenies and Govt, dept’s. etc it became more return effective to export logs. All that work is contract work so no need to employ many people anymore.
The cost to our roads and to Taurnaga will be ongoing unless they are forced into using rail from their own yards to the port.
Nothing is ever what it seems in these things.
Offshore owners don’t care and indeed its nothing less than what Graeme hart did with tokoroa another places.
Electricity investment & gas energy investment & coal energy investment represents 10years+. Can’t get surety over such a time frame. Crazy marxist greenies will sneak in an give communism one more chance, destroying any private investors confidence.

This is Trump at his best —by raising the issue of the Haitians eating pets, he just pushed the rest of the “debate” out of the main news. Yes the political geeks are trying to show how smart they are by talking about it, but 90% of voters have forgotten it while they look up the issue of the cats. Immediately following the debate the most searched topic on Google etc. was the pet eating.
About this cat-eating video. https://youtu.be/TeLHleHYLIk?si=bJS0reDRT5TrP7kz
Was the woman:
a) eating the cat as a meal
b) eating (parts) of the cat as part of a religious (voodoo?) practice?
c) Suffering from mental health issues?
If b), then her religious beliefs may be granted legal protection…
Food for thought!

“Jay Blades, the BBC presenter from The Repair Shop, has been charged with engaging in controlling or coercive behaviour towards his wife.”
https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/350415558/repair-shop-presenter-jay-blades-charged-controlling-behaviour
I know the UK is into making up new crimes for the far right but wtf is this? I would have thought that coercive behaviour is pretty common in relationships, to say nothing about Chippie, Jabcinda and many others during the vax rollout.
Can we call people who like to eat pets PETA-PHILES?
Curious@1357
Naah. Koreans, Haitians, Chinese: Any of these but never ever XXX-philes ‘cos Peta and the other ‘Philes’ will get all upset and throw wobblies.
Vietnamese like cat meat, Chinese like dog meat, even in NZ. How many times have you suspected that your Chinese takeaway wasn’t chicken? Especially in the 70’s and 60’s.
My late wife worked in a Kmart with a Vietnamese lady who loved cat meat. I have some neighbours cats that if they don’t stop shitting in my garden will soon be buried in a big hole at the tip. Perhaps I can sell them ya think?
Just another source of protein in countries deficient in protein.
The most abundant source of dietry protein is wheat (and fish or red meat), and most of those countries are rice eaters.
In China there are both, depending on where they live. Northern Chinese are much bigger people because they eat wheaten products as their staple whereas southern is a rice based diet.
fun fact for you.
It’s also why texans are so big. Lots of meat protein.
This meme is very good
King Arthur, leader of Camelot and all the knights of the Round Table was faced with a quest that would take him long months to accomplish. This was no problem to him except that being married to Gweneviere, the loveliest (and sexiest) had to be left behind along with a number of his knights.
Worried, he ran to Merlin, his trusted wizard to relate his problem.
“Nothing to worry about, Arty baby,” assured Merlin, “I’ve got what you need right here.” He pulled out a small guillotine and handed it to Arthur. “Just place this in the appropriate place and worry about naught.”
So, on the night before his leaving and after satisfying his carnal desires for the last time before going, Arthur placed the guillotine between his dear wife’s thighs and in the morning, departed assured that all was well in the kingdom.
Months later, Arthur returned and having been gone from his beautiful, sexy wife, hurried to her and remembered to remove the miniature guillotine before going a few rounds with her. Laying in the afterglow, he wondered who of his knights was the most loyal.
Later, calling his Round Table together, he had the knights line up and spoke, “Knights, as you know, I have been gone these past months and now I wonder which of you has been the most loyal to his king. I want everyone here to now drop trou.”
All the knights did as ordered and Arthur, with great surprise, noticed that each one was missing his manhood, all that is, except for Lancelot. Arthur was greatly taken aback for Lancelot was known throughout the realm to be quite the “lady’s man.”
Arthur strode to stand before Lancelot and spoke: “Lance old buddy, pal of all pals, I see that of all my knights, you and only you, are the most loyal to his king. Ask me anything, anything at all and I shall grant your greatest request.”
Lancelot looked his king in the eye and replied, “Arrgghh abba nnedd tngue.”
Sounds like a warm up. 😉

https://www.1news.co.nz/2024/09/14/austrian-guilty-of-fatally-infecting-her-neighbour-with-covid-19/
A woman in Austria was found guilty of fatally infecting her neighbour with Covid-19 in 2021, her second pandemic-related conviction in a year, according to local media.
This week, the judge heard statements from the deceased’s family, who said there had been contact in a stairwell between the neighbours on December 21, 2001 — when the defendant would already have known she had Covid-19. But she denied the meeting, saying she was too sick to get out of bed that day. She also said she believed she had bronchitis, which she typically gets every year.
“I feel sorry for you personally — I think that something like this has probably happened hundreds of times,” the judge said Friday. “But you are unlucky that an expert has determined with almost absolute certainty that it was an infection that came from you.”
Those vaccines.

Just a heads up concerning Citric acid.
Citric acid’s history dates back to 1784 when Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele crystallized it from lemon juice. In 1917, food chemist James Currie discovered that he could produce citric acid using a strain of the black mold Aspergillus niger. This method is still in use today.
https://www.verywellhealth.com/what-is-citric-acid-7111742
Aspergillus niger
Species of fungus of the genus Aspergillus
Aspergillus niger is a mold classified within the Nigri section of the Aspergillus genus. The Aspergillus genus consists of common molds found throughout the environment within soil and water, on vegetation, in fecal matter, on decomposing matter, and suspended in the air. Wikipedia

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/police-restrain-nine-properties-worth-57m-in-christchurch-black-market-tobacco-case/R3C4WKYNK5AD3MNXVY3BEJVMMM/
There always has been such a market & there always will be for so long as taxes & duties distort the real value of the product. Thirty, maybe forty, years ago there were pounds of the stuff available. It was grown & cured on small farms in the Nelson district which ironically grew legal tobacco before all the leaf was imported from overseas.
Wasn’t bad quality either.
Isn’t it legal in NZ, to grow up to three plants nestled among the succulents still?
So far as I know it’s still legal to grow your own & I’ve never heard of a number of plants you can’t exceed. It’s certainly not hard to cultivate & I’ve grown a few myself. The difficulty is in the curing as the leaf is susceptible to mould.
The restriction is that it must be “for your own use”.

Ross Stitt reviews the stunning success of building a world-scale data centre property network, and why investment fund managers are so keen on them
There’s a lot to like about this story.
The main character, Robin Khuda, migrated to Australia from Bangladesh as an 18-year-old student. Last week, at 44, he celebrated the AU$24 bln sale of AirTrunk, the data centre company he created just nine years ago.
The sale is the largest corporate deal in Australia this year. And the world’s largest ever sale of a data centre business.
The sellers were an Asian investment fund managed by Macquarie Asset Management, PSP Investments, several smaller investors, and Robin Khuda himself. The buyers were the trillion-dollar US asset management giant Blackrock and CPP Investments (the Canadian Pension Plan). In a contested auction process, they beat out an international consortium led by IFM Investors, an investment manager owned by 17 Australian superannuation funds.

Food production becoming a distant second in land-use priorities in what could have profound impacts on our economy and ability to pay our way in the world.
In spite of touted government plans to limit forestry on sheep and beef land and although the rate of forestry conversions has slowed due to policy uncertainty, the livestock population, particularly sheep, appears to be heading irrevocably downwards. At 23 million there are now just one third the number of sheep compared with the peak in the 1970s.
The sector has worked wonders in increasing the value of the flock through better lambing rates, heavier lambs, and higher product returns in spite of the collapsing wool price. But a combination of sluggish world markets and agriculture’s position as public enemy number one in the generation of greenhouse gases and harm to the environment risks putting New Zealand’s best-known export under existential threat. The reality is that sheep are now in danger of no longer being reared in sufficient numbers to retain a critical mass.
Four research programmes funded by the Our Land and Water Science Challenge initiated under the last National government have all reached a common conclusion: the best and easiest way to meet our 2050 goals of reducing GHGs and improving water quality is to convert half of all sheep and beef farms progressively to pine forests. This could be achieved with an annual conversion rate of 2.8% compared with the present rate of 2% which suggests the sector will be killed off in any case under the present settings, just more slowly.
https://www.interest.co.nz/rural-news/129729/allan-barber-sees-food-production-becoming-distant-second-land-use-priorities
Simon Upton, Commissioner for the Environment, has submitted his reaction to the government’s second emissions reduction plan which casts serious doubt on its ability to meet either the first or second emissions budget for emissions reduction. His greatest concern is “the plan’s reliance on the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS), which in its current form suppresses carbon prices, discourages gross emissions reductions and incentivises the planting of large areas of land in pine forests.”
He points out the ETS was established it was supposed to be an interim measure to allow new low emissions technologies to be developed, but these don’t yet exist which means forestry carbon offsets have become the easiest way for fossil fuel polluters to offset their emissions. He cites several problems with this approach including the loss of productive land to forestry and the effect on rural communities, the long term removal of land for alternative purposes and the potential for unlimited carbon offsets to push the carbon.

Dutch government announces ‘strictest asylum policy ever’
Netherlands will ask the European Commission for an opt-out on EU asylum and migration policies.
Its plans, announced Friday as a part of the ruling coalition’s program, include stricter border checks, “tit for tat” punishments of “troublemakers,” restrictions on family reunification that would bar adult children from joining their parents, and a focus on forced returns.

# “A concrete path along Milford Beach is dotted with four sets of concrete stairs that connect the walkway to the sand – each has eight steps”………” the council spent $263,000 replacing the stairs”.
# “the cost of replacing the stairs included all engineering design, consenting, physical works and management, surveillance and quality assurance through construction”.

The last remaining tenants of a dilapidated Kāinga Ora apartment block in Wellington have held up repairs to the heritage building by refusing to leave.
The Dixon St flat tenancies ended in May, but now, Kāinga Ora is taking overstaying occupiers to the Tenancy Tribunal and spending an average of $40,000 a month on security in the meantime.
Kāinga Ora’s Greater Wellington director Vicki McLaren said the Dixon St flats “are outdated and no longer meet the needs of our customers” but “some customers have been reluctant to move to another Kāinga Ora home”.
“We are working through the Residential Tenancies Act process to end these tenancies. Unfortunately, deferrals of some scheduled Tenancy Tribunal hearings have meant that this process is taking longer than we initially expected.”
Oh well we lnow about that process.
At the end doesn’t mean they will go.

My wife was in labour when the nurse said it was time to push.
She gave it everything she had, until a fart, that from sound and stench, had obviously followed through. She was mortified.
“Don’t worry,” i said, patting her head. “I’ve heard this kind of thing is perfectly natural during birth. Isn’t that right nurse?”
“Yes,” said the nurse gagging, “But it’s usually the mother not the father!..”
