Hopefully, that will apply to the many longterm troughers in the Tauranga City Council shortly.
We need better leadership.

Greg Brownless is advertising like mad that he wants to continue this good work!
He must be joking the CBD is a mess, they are building unused bus-lanes and cycle ways everywhere.
It’s about ability to influence and drive acceptance of necessary culture change. It’s about accountability not just from Tenby, but from those that will answer to his Mayoral team.
The present incumbents leave me cold, and I voted for the present Mayor in the face of a lack of solid competent candidates….I thank goodness that this year I have a chance, and will vote for a Mayor that has ALL the proven skills to lead. There is only one option in Tauranga, Tenby Powell.
Why would anyone vote for more of the same ineptitude, poor management and lack of leadership.
So the answer to inept elected officials is to get more of them, but draw them from the community? Sounds like a recipe for success.

I must admit that I feel somewhat uncomfortable about the prospect of community boards.
From what I have seen they readily become hijacked by those “woke folk” with agendas.
True and I have had this conversation with Tenby. Suggested something that I think is better.
Each councillor in their ward should have an office with a staff member right in the local area. Hook them into the systems and they can spend time among their ratepayers. (just like MP’s do). They can then talk to people about what is wanted.
Save on lunch costs as well. And they already have staff brain washing them in town. Divide and conquer iu reckon.
Got you, we have more in common than you think.
I would have a beer with you.
Good morning YSB far out I’m first today! The weather forecast is good, and at 630 am I’m already thinking of an early dinner of delicious BBQ steak, chicken , and pork chops. All the family can eat :). Chased down with beer and maybe a shot or two of Jack Daniel’s. Life is good.
That sounds brilliant, ducklin. Mama Bear is busy thawing a pork shoulder for tomorrow so we can grease up before the All Blacks tackle the Springboks. Going to be a wonderful weekend.
Amen to that Pascal 🙂
first to the pee pot maybe!
With all the changes being done, I will not be doing many other posts. There are too many word presss plugins that make the site function properly. A change of theme is the answer to this and an increase in speed will be the result. It might take 2 weeks, so be patient.
Thank you, your great and its wonderful to have a site like this one.
Cheers
Viking beat me by 4 minutes lol. By the way GO All Blacks!
PROBABLY BE A BIT SLOW LIKE YOU THIS MORNING.!
I WAITED FOR THE ED TO GET PAST HIS FIRST COFFEE.
BAH HUMBUG TO THE BLOODY CAPITAL LOCK.
Trudeau.
Much as I dislike him, this black face witch hunt is ridiculous.
People were just having a bit of fun
Disagree. The lunatic leftists started playing by the Alinsky rules, they need to held to their own standards. There is no way to win with them if you play fair, you have to beat them at their own game in order to create a M.A.D. situation where the LLs will think twice before playing the offence card.
Exactly. We must use their weapons against them, they must be got rid of.
Agree. The blackface thing itself wasn’t a big deal all that many years ago, (remember Gene Wilder in “Silver Streak”?) but because these days it causes such outrage with the PC brigade, let ’em taste their own wrath. Down with girly man Trudeau, the “male” version of JA. Yuck!
It will be difficult to win, you’re right. But is one giving up principles by fighting by their rules? And if one does win under those circumstances, are you really better than that which you sought to defeat?
I’m waiting for the economy to tank and the virtue signalling millenials to have something real to worry about. There is nothing to make one concentrate on your own survival than the bottom falling out of your income. What other people are doing becomes irrelevant when food and shelter become priorities.
I think it’s a lot to do with not having the generation before you knowing what a real crisis was. My grandparents are well into their 90’s now, but they were poor kids during the depression years and I grew up knowing how bad they had it compared to my childhood. Then Grandpa got drafted and off to WW2 he went for 4 years before he returned to the USA in one piece. These pansy millennials have no idea what recent generations faced. NO idea. Climate change rallies? Right.
Like my generation is probably horrified that Taika Waititi has made a spoof movie with Hitler and Hitler Youth. The recent generations are hailing it as a great movie. It may seem churlish to some but personally I won’t bother watching it.
Waititi is a nasty left winger who intensely hates anything to do with National etc….
It goes without saying he is a fan of our lying Cindy.
I can’t wait to miss it.
Just goes to show how out of favour he is, that it is being made a thing. Jacinda’s videos need equal attention.
Yip play the buggers at their own game…..they don’t like it when it’s up em!
Trudeau certainly makes the effort for a fancy dress party. He probably won best costume. Now the virtue signalling mob have everyone too scared to show any individualism. Will we be next for a 20 year old mistake that was perfectly acceptable back then?
I dressed up as a Pirate once….
Is that disrespectful to parrots? ?
Parrots and a whole lot of others… One-eyed, one-legged, bearded, sailers in general, people with cutlasses, fancy boots and hats and , oh shit, just about anyone……
Don’t forget the canons and the blunderbus!
But they were ok, not semi autos!
But theynmade a lot of noise and killed people!
Nobody seemed to mind when Johnny Depp dressed up as a the pirate Jack Sparrow. I hear he was lauded for it.
You forgot to offend women.
A mate of mine had a parrot years ago, he taught it to say “Polly wants a fucking cracker” well it was funny at the time, specially after a beer or 6.
Sieg Heil! Viva Il Duce! Let’s Do this!
After being in Government for two years and having the housing portfolio removed from your hands after making a complete fuck up on the policy you promised ,you now have the cheek to try and cover your basic incompetence after sacking the board of NZTA to blame National again.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12269245
This idiot should never be a Minister of the crown unless they decide they need one on total incompetence or how to blame others.
He really does keep on giving!
Stuffed has sung Cindy Always Lying prasies again today, by Luke Malpass?
Must be their senior writer. It’s long enough!
yes they were saying she’s off to Japan and the UN with a high approval rating here in NZ.
(they did not say that the approval rating was 3 months old.)
So now Ardern’s main prioridy is her Christchurch Call.
Never mind child poverdee, homeless, falling GDP, weekly murders, Maori Land claims etc etc
It’s ll about meetoo! She don’t wanta be left out of the fancy dress party!
Has this been orchestrated by Andrew Little Labour and the Coalition on their internal polls with the fall in grace of Jacndamania. As soon as the Coalition seems to be shooting itself in the foot with also many other gaffes the same old story is raised lower the voting age, with Jacindamania leading the charge.
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/09/group-of-young-people-push-government-to-drop-voting-age-to-16.html
This is one of the reasons she is always visiting schools and the main reason these 16 / 17 years old a pressing to get the vote. You watch Andrew Little on this if Labour keeps bleeding ing their internal poll.
They’ll be pushing for those things regardless of their polls.
More benes, more children, more refugees, more giveaways, more voters for them!
I thought Angry Andy would have been too busy trying to re open a coal mine down south.
Nah! He’s given up on that! Just not telling anyone!
I’m going to start a “Christchurch Example” campaign.
If you want to stop right wing extreme attacks, then don’t allow muslims into your western country. They do not belong and they never will.
I am presuming that Ardern wil have a full turn out of extended family to look after squirrel when she is in China or Japan. Ardern is still not sure where she is.
Hope the UN cleaners will have a supply of nappies for both squirrel & Jethro as the speech to the empty chamber will be long and boring.
I don’t know man, the flight to Japan isn’t that hard. And if she’s in Business Class, catered to and pampered all the way, how is she so tired she can’t even get the country’s name right?
She’s just incompetent.
I don’t know how you mix up Japan and China especially when it is your JOB! Diplomacy 101, get the name of the country you are visiting right. Imagine our reaction if Abe visited NZ and called us Australia.
You just wait till she goes to the UN, from Japan!
Which way do you thing she’s going?
The way with less jetlag?

Reports yesterday that new TV sets are flying off the shelves so a few have left it until the 23rd hour to sort their RWC viewing.
79% not set-up?
I know 20% of 5 million is a lot subscriptions, but seems low given NZ’s religious devotion to rugby

New Zealand’s ‘rockstar economy’ lost its ‘mojo’ – HSBC economist Paul Bloxham
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/money/2019/09/new-zealand-s-rockstar-economy-lost-its-mojo-hsbc-economist-paul-bloxham.html
“But he also believes uncertainty domestically about Government policy and spending was influencing low business confidence and businesses’ lack of investment.
“Part of it is policy-related, part of it is that they are uncertain about what the policy environment looks like… all the range of changes that could come into play that they are not quite clear on how those things are going to play out.”
Fancy that. But I’m comfortable knowing that the fat fairy has everything in hand. I know this because he said so in parliament yesterday. Thank you fat fairy.
I find the “fat fairy” comes across as very smug and self-satisfied. I’m looking forward to that smugness slipping from his mug as the NZ economy fails due to his and Cindy’s implementation of 70’s style industrial relations on small business. Of course, to a smug arsehole it is always someone else’s fault. He already blames “international headwinds” for the effects of his smug economic realities that are hitting NZ industry and the people of NZ.
As Mike Hosking keep saying our terms of trade and exports are doing well. (So Grant, there are no overseas headwinds
Its the local economy that is declining.
Higher wages, more rules, unions, making whole industries illegal
Will he end up looking like sullen Cullen? Now there is rat faced twerp!

For Nasska:
The Christian converts who are setting fire to sacred Aboriginal objects.
Oh what fun!
……”Local women called her a ‘prophetess’, believing God spoke through her”……
Starting a sect 101:
1) Convince the gullible that all communications with Skydaddy should be channelled through the self anointed one. (Never set yourself up as the deity otherwise you have no-one to offload the responsibility onto when you fuck up your prophesies).
2) Open a bank account.
There’s truth in that Nasska.
From the article:
So:
– She bludged (food and accommodation) off the local aboriginal community for 3 years.
– She’s now working illegally in Sydney.
– She plans to return to the local aboriginal community, this time with a team of missionaries, all of whom will probably seek to bludge (food and accommodation) for a while.
Sounds like a good life if you’re prepared to help others in the name of God! (Where’s Scott when he’s needed to confirm something?)
I’ve always reckoned that I passed up a good little earner when I went farming Nostra. Years of backbreaking work & spending life covered in sheep shit when I could have had a crop of tithed Godwhacks talking in tongues & writhing in the aisles while I led them up the garden path. The only thing that put me off is that real sheep are comparatively sane.
Scott hasn’t followed us over to YSB which is a pity. I’ve never met him but he’s pastor of the local Baptist church & well thought of by the religiously deluded in Masterton.
There’s a piece of his brain which goes bing instead of bong but I wouldn’t mind meeting up with the coot sometime. 🙂
Fletcher seeks urgent talks on Ihumatao stalemate
http://www.sharechat.co.nz/article/3356fd0b/fletcher-seeks-urgent-talks-on-ihumatao-stalemate.html
“Fletcher Building is “disappointed” no resolution emerged from talks brokered by the Kingitanga on the future of the company’s delayed housing development at Ihumatao.
The process has effectively delivered a setback for the 480-home development by uniting previously opposing groups claiming mana whenua, or ancestral connection, to the Fletchers-owned land at the centre of the dispute. Auckland Council, which approved the development, values the land at $36 million.”

President Xi shows Ardern how to deal with muslims
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/09/china-s-xinjiang-muslim-detention-camps-documents-show-what-pm-jacinda-ardern-knows.html
I also note how they made Ardern a long way to shake his hand.
My Christchurch Example campaign shows the best way to avoid more attacks on muslims and more importantly muslim attacks on us is to not let any more muslims in to the west and to New Zealand.

How come every other culture does well in our education system eg Chinese, Koreans.
And watch Africans in Zimbabwe speak, they are all very educated in English.
It’s a little known fact that Zimbabwe is an acronym. It stands for Zero Intelligence Mainly Because All Brainy Whites Emigrated.
No if you watch young Zimbabweans on tv, they all speak well and our well educated, unlike some our of locals.
Its just their corrupt goverment
Children voting.
“Judge” Andrew Beecroft is advocating that 16 years olds get the vote.
On Ryan Bridges show he said they’e worried about the main issues, Climate Change, Plastic, Child Poverty.
Funny that’s all left wing Labour plans.
What about business, or exports, or roads, or science, or jobs, or getting tough on crime!
No way – make it 25!
And no more over 79’s or alchimers voting either.
National MP has ‘questions’ for Jacinda Ardern as scope of Tuia 250 digital privacy breach widens
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/09/national-mp-has-questions-for-jacinda-ardern-as-scope-of-tuia-250-digital-privacy-breach-widens.html
“It has now been revealed that almost 30 percent more – 403 people – were affected by the breach.
The minister responsible for the Ministry for Culture and Heritage is Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, and National MP Dr Shane Reti is demanding answers from her.”
I’m starting to think that Shane Reti may have a great future in politics.
He shines compared with the current plonker masquerading as National’s leader.
He is good, but the breach is hardly earth shattering!
WTF… You want cindy back? Just say so just stop prevaricating.
So, you don’t like Simon.. Well that’s a surprise…, Do you like yourself… no one else does 🙂
So you need a job.
Got just the thing for you.
If you can buff in the buff have we got the job for you – a new nude cleaning business opening soon in Auckland is looking to hire people of all shapes, sizes, ethnicities, genders and ages.
Nuud Cleaning is a new Kiwi start-up business looking to provide a service to cater for all Kiwi groups — including straight women and men and the LBGTQ+ communities.
Launching on November 1 prices will range from $99 to $179 an hour depending on the level of nakedness the customer desires from the cleaner.
Some perks include the customer being able to choose the underwear they would like the cleaner to wear – as well as being allowed to prance around in the nude with the staff member. Customers can also bring a friend, but you have to let the business know beforehand.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&objectid=12269363
He also went over the safety precautions the company has for cleaners who may come across provocative or sexualised behaviour by customer — including comprehensive terms and conditions for both the customer and the cleaner.
——————————————————-
Seems to be better organized than the Labour Party.
suggest he checks that any customers are not a member of Labour as they seem to have a prediction to wanting to handle the help.
I could probably drench a few sheep in the buff for the right sort of money V2.
Let me know if you think there could be a demand. 🙂
Johnboy the person to ask. come to think of it I miss that bastard. guess he is still in mourning for Penny.
at least he still has the company of his ewes to keep him warm
Well I’m not fucking looking…. Ever.
Finance Minister Grant Robertson has met with Fletcher Building as the Government tries to end the impasse at Ihumātao.
Māori King Tūheitia this week announced the mana whenua of the contested South Auckland site had reached a unified decision that they wanted to their land returned.
He added Kīngitanga had conveyed the views of mana whenua to the Government and urged it to negotiate with the land’s owner, Fletcher, for the “return of Ihumātao to its rightful owners”.
The Herald has confirmed the building company and Robertson met in the Beehive on Friday to discuss the situation.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12269529
whats the thinking. appeasement as usual or will there be a sleight of hand. I am pessimistic that they will tell the land grabbers to fuck off.
Govt will loan $40m of taxpayers money to Tainui which won’t be expected to be repaid. There is your sleight of hand, appeasement of Maori at taxpayers expense.
loan my arse, give them the land and say its in the best interests of the country.
If Labour give in to the protestors that will be a disaster for our country.
And it wont help Labour in the polls
Full and Final and Forever and Fuck Off
But it will be a win for the rest of New Zealand if we rid ourselves of the liar and the arsehole.
