When will the farming sector push back on this climate change BS? Barry Brill has publicised how a relook at the science in relation to methane has forced a change in the data , the IPCC have accepted the new position so the farmers should be firing it straight back at the Government alarmists. If they don’t, they will be crucified.

Add to that my daughter who is normally pretty switched on with her bullshit detector told me on Friday night that there is a 4th verbal article of the treaty of Waitangi. This is what they teach them at University now days. She got corrected on this by myself, but no idea if it’s sunk in to her that she is being lied to at University. No idea if she even believes her old man yet, but arguing with me about New Zealand history is pretty hard when I’ve studied it for most of my adult life.

instead, what caught the attention of most Pākehā observers was the rancour and discord evident amongst Māori, and the suspicion directed at Hobson. ….

Fark this place is a sodden shithole, guess its the same over most of the country this winter?
I havent exp it this continually boggy and wet during my farming career, winter 2015 comes close but this is more wet n boggy, the ground has been fully saturated for over 2mnths now and cant handle the slightest shower of rain.

Glad im not dairy or sheep farming starting to calve/lamb as the amount of mud around this year is crazy, they put stock in a padock and its destroyed within 30mins. Gunna have some serious repercussions in late sept/ early oct when they start grazing the second round and find out theyve severly damaged a large percentage of their pasture. Just another kick in the balls to go with declining meat and dairy payouts, im sure the govt is gunna put the boot in some more aswell.

Still lots of bales around HP, they rekon theres 30-40k bales in southland unsold with no cows to eat them as the farmers have tightened their belts.
Many of those bales cost $100-110 to make as grass prices were at a premium last season, even at 80bux the bales arent selling so a big haircut for some is looking likely.

Yea true that on the good summers, mother nature seems to even it out. Grass plentiful and no one had ever exp as much growth as last spring so guess this year could be a polar opposite?

Recently travelling around the lower NI and noticed a huge number of bales on the farms. Most rows of them look as though they have not started using them. I spoke to an old farmer about it suggesting farmers will have a huge excess this winter and he said there is an old saying in farming ” if you have a lot of grass you are going need a lot” . As a townie I have no idea if there is any validity to that.

Rolls-Royce Confirms a ‘Small Number’ of Vehicles on Burned Out Fremantle Highway
August 2, 2023
By Wilfried Eckl-Dorna (Bloomberg) —
BMW AG’s Rolls-Royce has a small number of its exclusive cars aboard the ship that went up in flames off the Dutch coast a week ago.
The maker of €500,000 luxury vehicles is informing affected clients personally, a spokesperson said Wednesday in an email. While both BMW and Mercedes-Benz Group AG confirmed they have several hundred cars on the Fremantle Highway, neither have offered specific breakdowns by brand or model.
The ship’s operator disclosed last week that a total of 3,783 cars and construction vehicles are on board. Smoke cleared from the vessel on Tuesday, indicating the fire may have ceased, and Dutch authorities ultimately want to tow it to a port.
–With assistance from Tsuyoshi Inajima.

Paddy and Mick were both laid off, so they went to the unemployment office:
When asked his occupation, Paddy answered, “Knicker Stitcher, i sew da elastic onto ladies’ knickers and thongs.”
The clerk looked up Knicker Stitcher on his computer and finding it classified as unskilled labour, he gave him £80 a week unemployment pay.
Mick was next in and when asked his occupation replied. “Diesel Fitter.”
Since a diesel fitter was a skilled job, the clerk gave Mick £160 a week.
When Paddy found out he was furious.
He stormed back into the office to find out why his friend and co-worker was collecting double his pay.
The clerk explained….
“Knicker Stitchers are unskilled labour and Diesel Fitters are skilled labour.”
“What skill?” Yelled Paddy.
‘I sew da elastic on da knickers and thongs, then Mick puts ’em over his head and says:
“Yep, diesel fitter.” 🤣

Some people call for State land to be “given back to iwi” but no one ever defines what they mean by “land.”

There is more to “land” than just the soil and turf. There is also the legal right to use that the State grants to the holder of the freehold title of the land.

In pre-European times, the land was merely territory held by force. There was no legally enforced freehold title.

Should land be given back to iwi in its natural, un-protected un-titled state? That would be more culturally appropriate, I think.

This is about 30% of New Zealand’s land area or about 8 million hectares of native forests, tussocklands, alpine areas, wetlands, dunelands, estuaries, lakes and islands, national forests, maritime parks, marine reserves, nearly 4000 reserves, river margins, some coastline, and many offshore islands.

Remember thirty years ago when everyone knew their sex? There were men, sheila’s and queers. Anxiety was for poofs. If you had such symptoms you were told like John Kirwan was to get a fucken grip. School nurses didn’t have a medication sheet that ran into pages. If Billy Bunter had a problem with Chad, it was worked out behind the bike shed; and not with the help of a duty teacher.

Boy have things declined. Remember the Spirit Of Adventure sailing ship that would take children for a week and show them the real world of adventure and team work? There used to be a waiting list of excited kids wanting to have that experience.

But not anymore.

Children are no longer applying. There are behavioural issues. Children have anxiety issues. Basically kids can’t cope with being on the Spirit Of Adventure.

https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/08/07/spirit-of-adventure-recruitment-stunted-by-youth-anxiety/

My solution. A month attending a third world school while living in a third world community would clear the head and sinuses.

I do wonder what role social media plays in all of this? I notice the attention span of children nowadays is next to zero. Maybe the mental effort of concentrating for a day doing tasks that may require effort and grit is beyond them?

….The Haiti indemnity controversy involves an 1825 agreement between Haiti and France that included France demanding a 150 million franc indemnity to be paid by Haiti in claims over property – including Haitian slaves – that was lost through the Haitian Revolution in return for diplomatic recognition, with the debt removing $21 billion from the Haitian economy.
The first annual payment alone was six times Haiti’s annual revenue.[1] The payment was later reduced to 90 million francs in 1838, equivalent to $32,535,940,803 in 2022,

Over the 122 years between 1825 and 1947, the debt severely hampered Haitian economic development as payments of interest and down payments totaled a significant share of Haitian GDP, constraining the use of domestic financial funds for infrastructure and public services..
——————–
Can’t blame Haiti all on the haitian’s woes. France triggered it.

Took these people from Africa and worked them without pay. When they fought back for freedom – fair enough -France landed them with a massive debt.
USA at least bought the land of Liberia and offered the freed slaves a country back in Africa.
The mighty, haughty oh so fair and saintly English had no problems with France’s behaviour.

France tried to enslave the people of people of southEast Asia. Their truculence lead to the US War of Aggression against Vietnam.
The French were too chicken shit to defend their own country against the Hun but let other nations free them with massive loss of THEIR lives .

The other thing about the French. If the British had not worked with Maori on the Treaty the French would have probably slaughtered the Maori and taken over NZ. The French had major scrap with the Maori in the late 1700s which involved the Maori first seeing the real power of the gun. It horrified them and eventually lead a few Maori chiefs making representations to the Queen asking for her protection in the early 1800s.

The whole Island of Hispaniola makes interesting reading
———–
In 1697, after decades of fighting over the territory, the Spanish ceded the western part of the island to the French, who henceforth called it Saint-Domingue. Saint-Domingue developed into a highly lucrative colony for France. Its economy was based on a labor-intensive sugar industry, which depended on vast numbers of West African slaves.
————–

There were less than 400,000 slaves taken directly to USA.
All these under British rule before 1776. For the next 40 years the (slavers themselves) English blocked the sea with the wunderbar British navy.

Meantime
….Some 5 million enslaved Africans were taken to the Caribbean, almost half of whom were brought to the British Caribbean (2.3 million). As planters became more reliant on enslaved workers, the populations of the Caribbean colonies changed, so that people born in Africa, or their descendants, came to form the majority.
——
Each of the Spanish, English, Froggies colonies had more slaves than the entire USA.
Won’t see that in a hollyweird movie.
Hell NO !
And the Portuguese took that many to Brazil alone.

But hey the Argentine team at the FIFA world cup last year was a bit white.
ha ha ha; not enough slaves, bro
Shoulda had more slaves.

plus the balance to central America.
12 million slaves taken across the Atlantic, less than 5% went to USA
Not how the story is told now is it !!
the Poms were brutal bastards, be sure.

the story of the Caribbean is bloody with the carib people essentially wiped out.
Genocide by the English, French and Spanish.
Such saints.
Mitchener did one of his good, long, books on it called Caribbean
——
Pirates,
also misleading shit by the hollyweird crowd.
“A privateer was a pirate with papers. As the name suggests, privateers were private individuals commissioned by governments to carry out quasi-military activities. They would sail in privately owned armed ships, robbing merchant vessels and pillaging settlements belonging to a rival country.”

Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly Mother. The first said, “I built a big house for our Mother.” The second said, “I sent her a Mercedes with a driver.” The third smiled and said, “I’ve got you both beat. You remember how Mom enjoyed reading the Bible? And you know she can’t see very well any more. I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took Elders in the church 12 years to teach him. He’s one of a kind. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot recites it.” Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks, “Milton,” she wrote one son, “the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house.” “Gerald,” she wrote to another, “I am too old to travel any more. My eyesight isn’t what it used to be. I stay most of the time at home, so I rarely use the Mercedes. And the driver is so rude!” “Dearest Donald,” she wrote to her third son, “you have the good sense to know what your Mother likes. The chicken was delicious!”

In May, BusinessDesk reported that a Christchurch social housing operator went into receivership owing creditors $10m. The company, Essex Property Ltd, is owned by Jason Lopas. The receivers’ report shows that last March, Fiona O’Hanlon registered a security interest over the company’s assets.

Then, only two weeks later on 1 April 2022, Lopas incorporated a new company, Filo Property Ltd, in which he and O’Hanlon are directors. Notably, O’Hanlon also owns 50% of the shares of Filo Property which she holds jointly with the owner of Stuff, Sinead Boucher. The receivers will need to look closely at any transactions between Essex Property and Filo Property. On the face of it, a strange transaction for Boucher to be involved in.

https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/08/08/why-christopher-luxon-welcomes-the-govts-net-zero-fund/
National Party leader Christopher Luxon says his party welcomes the Government’s announcement an American multinational investment company will invest $2 billion in a “first of its kind” climate infrastructure fund.

The fund, the ‘net zero’ fund, is aimed at helping New Zealand become one of the first countries in the world to reach 100% renewable energy.

Today while on a visit to a school in Hamilton, Luxon said his party “really welcome that investment”.

“It underscores exactly what we’ve been saying, which is that the world is awash with investment opportunities for companies and funds that actually want to invest in renewable energy.

“I think the major challenge we’ve observed with this government is around consenting. So it’s fantastic, the investment is up to being made in New Zealand, we fully support it.”

He said it was “good for New Zealand”.

Obviously I have not seen any details but what it looks like is Blackrock have given “a line of credit” for any potential investors in renewable energy. If I am correct then Chippy has not got a lot to crow about.
But on the other hand Blackrock may have also wanted some sort security for that line of credit. What is it ? Does that security reduce when investors take up the loan and offer their own security or is NZ going to carry the can for the lot?

Curious
Reply to  Ross12

At a minimum it will want security over the assets developed but probable that they will want some some sort of government guarantee as well. Given the success rates of renewable energy projects there is likely to be a large cost to the taxpayer at some point.

What I am trying to say ED is I do not think Blackrock is going to put that money in the Government’s bank account for them to dish out. I think what they are saying we will offer up to $2billion to investors, if they meet usual lending criteria, for investing in NZ renewable energy projects but to do this they may have asked for some form of Government guarantee or security to give extra cover for the risk, which also enables them to have their hooks into the Government.
Under normal circumstances if one project took up say, $500 mill then they would have to give the lender the relevant security but in this case would the security or guarantee given by the Government reduce accordingly?

Budget 2022: How $2 billion of emergency Covid funds were redirected

Finance Minister Grant Robertson padded Budget 2022 with $2.05 billion from the remnants of the Covid-19 Response and Recovery Fund contrary to his undertakings that the enormous pot of emergency money be limited to direct, pandemic-related spending and over the Treasury’s objections.

The Government took $1.05b from the fund and “reprioritised” the money to spend on the “cost of living payment” and extended cost reductions for motorists, both rushed into existence in light of surging inflation and polling that suggested a related ebb in the Labour Party’s popularity.

Chinese-Owned Bio Lab Update: Million-Dollar Mice, Fake Bankruptcy, Recalled COVID-19 Tests, PPP Loans, and Tax Credits

It began with a garden hose attached illegally to a warehouse near the center of town. The building was supposed to be vacant. When code enforcement officers from the city went to investigate, they discovered that it was in use and observed several code violations.

According to a declaration from Humero Prado, Assistant Director of Fresno County Public Health…investigators discovered that one room of the warehouse was used to produce COVID-19 and pregnancy tests. In other rooms, investigators found blood, tissue and other bodily fluid samples.

Health officials discovered nearly 1,000 lab mice, 200 of which were already dead.

Also found were thousands of vials, many of which contained biohazardous materials including human blood, and other unknown substances.

“A lot of these labels have been removed from bottles so there was only so much testing. We could do those chemicals,” Prado continued.

An onsite representative for Prestige, Wang Zhaolin, told investigators that mice were “genetically engineered to catch and carry the COVID-19 virus.” Due to the conditions, the mice were euthanized.

These [samples found by the CDC] included both bacterial and viral agents, including: chlamydia, E. Coli, streptococcus pneumonia, hepatitis B and C, herpes 1 and 5 and rubella. The CDC also found samples of malaria.

The assets NZ have put forward as collateral for the two billion was our coal, gas and oil reserves. Hence, the closing of Marsden Point. There is a reason they called themselves Blackrock.
Maori elite think they have done a cunning deal…they haven’t. They’ve sold out everyone.

BlackRock is one of the world’s biggest corporate drivers of climate chaos and ecocide. Not only is it a major culprit behind the global climate breakdown because of its huge fossil fuel investments, but its wishy-washy climate promises and support for false climate solutions fail to address the root causes of the climate crisis.

To start, BlackRock oversees one of the world’s biggest fossil fuel portfolios. It is a top owner of the world’s most powerful and most polluting oil and gas corporations – from ExxonMobil to Chevron and from ConocoPhillips to Marathon Petroleum. It recently led a consortium of investors that plowed $15.5 billion into Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil and gas company – and one of the world’s dirtiest fossil fuel companies.

Blackrock is predominately an index fund manager. This means that they hold companies in their portfolios in line with the companies weighting in the index. They don’t specifically choose which companies to invest in. Inevitably they will hold the large energy companies and due to the amount they manage it will be a highish percentage of the shares.
Where Blackrock are a problem is that they use the shareholding to vote & influence boards, when as beneficial owners only for a raft of private individuals and super funds etc they shouldn’t be doing so. Being super woke they are influencing investee companies in all the wrong directions.
