More Climate Hysteria on Stuff today.
They are working theselves into a lather
I’m heartedly sick of the CC hysteria. The use of children in the scam campaign makes my skin crawl.
The U.N. somehow needs to be tackled bigtime on what is really child abuse.how do you confront this body and make them responsible for so much damage?
if all the money being spent on “climate change” was spent on clean water and birth control, we’d all bedda off.
The populations of China, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Uganda, The Philippines, Indonesia and Egypt are out of control.
Are the teachers now the new Nazi brown shirts of NZ.
Yes. know some people who are teachers and I wouldn’t trust them around my children if I still had any of school age. The ones I know can hardly string a sentence together and they seem there simply to push their political agendas onto young impressionable minds.
A civilisation’s decay starts with the destruction of the education system and ours is surely well decomposing now.
I just found out that Justin Trudeau was a teacher. It all makes sense now.
Drama teacher I remember reading. Fits with his love of dressing up. ?
Appropriate pic given what is happening in Hong Kong.
If anyone doubts what the Chinese will do jus take a look at the dairy industry. Look how they have trashed the share values of Westland, and now the Aussie company that hooked up to Beingmate. Fonterra will cry tears before getting shot of the pirates. for they have always been pirates and have the communist state to back them up.
Sad for Hong Kong, and dangerous for all our small countries.
yes very sad that many pacific countries are ditching Taiwan in favour of China.
Money talks
Cactus Kate on el Trotter about the judas in modern day Politics Sweetcheeks Robertson with his undermining of Jacinda Ardern.

I was unaware of Grant Robersons strong affiliation with those in young Labour and all the support they appear to give him.
I think his idea was to get them young onto his side and look after them as they raise up the ranks and then one day he would be king of the pile!
It’s ab it like teachers indoctrinating children into the new world order!
What are we to take out of the picture?
Is the dirty little deviat in it?
Is the Labour senior person from the 9th floor, still in short pants?
So many questions and only a limited supply of popcorn!
My Christchurch Example is gaining momentum
To remind you, the best way to stop mosque attacks is to not allow any muslims into western countries.
I have got great success so far
China, Hungary, Slovenia and Poland have signed up
Why?
Just why would you?

Exactly. Who’d want Braun Knickers.
Dalziel is only acting now because she has to, are the victims forcing her hand here too?
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/399372/christchurch-mayor-bans-councillor-from-events-involving-young-people-after-complaints
Is it Dalziels place to act? Surely again it is for the complainants to go to cops.even the ceo should not be involved. I would like to know how this person had the details of these people to enable the contact?
It’s voting time. what else do you think caused these things to come out now? And remember there is ALWAYS ALWAYS two sides to a story like this.
Given some of these people can be right tarts as most men will know I would be wary of the stories and the same applies to the Labour person.
Unless or until we can see the evidence to judge for ourselves then we should apply a degree of wariness and skepticism to these things.
OK, anything that gets rid of Labour will do but everyone is entitled to a fair unbiased hearing. Might by anyone of us men next time. In my work, I am very careful not to put myself in a position where I am alone with a female. It is just not worth it. Advice from my Lawyer years ago.
I think it is the same Labour ethos, translated down for national to local body politics.
You mean there is Labour party deviats everywhere!
Guess which party Dalziel is a member of.
Mayor Dalziel is a former Labour minister who was caught out lying. Sounds familiar plus there are sexual allegations involving one of her council members.
Ardern was obviously tutored by her.
Labour are dirty bastards……
You mean the same Dalziel who marched on “Asset Sales” when she was in parliament then sold council assets once she was head of the CCC trough?
Let’s do this it’s Labour.
Lets Grope This
Gross,

Eewww!
Did Boris ask to meet ‘our’ Jacinda? How long is the meeting for? Jacinda begging again?
It’s another notch on her garter belt. Look at me, look at me. I have met soooo many world leaders, aren’t I great.
Thanking about Ardern wearing a Garter Belt has spoiled my day.
I feel like cancelling my sub to YSB.
Sub? Have we been hacked? I didn’t see your payment anywhere.
What’s this, is madam taking her private jet to go christmas shopping at Harrods!
Poor jethro, I hope he bought the wheelbarrow along to carry all the shopping or he’s going to laden down!
“Poor Jethro’s” predicament is self-inflicted.
No sympathy.
I posted it last week (ha Ha)
Aha, the old it’s in the mail trick.
Better to be dominant than sub, subs are so needy :).
Is she taking her bony finger to point at Boris.? Will she keep her bony finger if she points it at Trump?
She hadb etter not point it at Mr Trump!
His guards might take offence and shoot her scrawny arse!
I doubt anything of his will be pointing at her, eye contact should be telling.
Trump ‘liked Malcolm’ but has ‘special relationship’ with Morrison

A Tweet Donald Trump, welcoming ScoMo to the Whitehouse
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1175261118161461250
Cindy only got sausage rolls at her meeting with ScoMo and have to take her own when she meets President Trump!
ScoMo and Mrs ScoMo got given a spectacular formal Presidential banquet set in the Whitehouse garden with string orchestra and rooftop trumpeters. Will Cindy be offered a cup of coffee in a side room at the UN or a NY hotel?
“We’re going to have to switch off your wife’s life support,” said the doc, “she’s in a vegan state.”
“Don’t you mean vegetative?” I asked.
“No, vegan,” he replied, “if it was vegetative there’d at least be some hope.”
If she was vegan the entire hospital would know about!
Facebook and Google etc will probably agree to “change their algorithms” to shut Ardern up tomorrow.
Stupid if they do, no amount will be enough, just like the goalposts keep shifting with our gun laws. Mind you those companies were doing somethings before Jacinda jumped in and made it all about her.
Or just tell her to fuck off. She’s the inept leader of a country with a population less than most villages in the rest of the world. And horrifying as it is, the number of people who died in her “Christchurch Call” are a drop in the bucket compared to what happens with Islamic terrorism in the world on a daily basis.
What’s up with RNZ delivering a series of articles (about 5 in the last week or so) about a culture of bullying in NZ Police?
Someone really really wants the story out there.

An explosion in a motel. Anyone else thinking meth lab?
Is it one of winz motels?
I thought they all were now!
I think you have to stay in Hotels now when traveling!
GDP growth constrained by low unemployment – economist
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/money/2019/09/gdp-growth-constrained-by-low-unemployment-economist.html
“Downside risks to the economic outlook in New Zealand have increased, however, reflecting higher downside risks to the global economic outlook,” the IMF said.
Bagrie said that was a “2020 story”, with the effects yet to be felt here.”
WINZ slammed for routinely phoning deaf clients
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/shows/2019/06/winz-slammed-for-routinely-phoning-deaf-clients.html
“Newshub Nation has learned Work and Income (WINZ) routinely phone clients they know have hearing loss and can’t use phones.”
As a small business owner and someone with common sense I cannot fathom the lack of initiative shown by many who work in govt departments. Do they follow department “process” to the letter by shear bloody-minded ideology, or is it they don’t care and it is easier to only pretend you are contacting clients so you don’t have to do the actual work? Phoning clients you know are deaf and cannot hear the phone is idiotic.
Q: Why would someone have a phone if they can’t use it?
Other people in the house.
You may be correct, but the phone number would only be on the deaf person’s file if WINZ were given it.
Are these landlines or cellphones?
Media types will make a story that adds column inches without adding facts.
The Govt dept interaction I have had in the last 2 months have been via cellphone – IRD; Internal Affairs; MBIE come to mind. They do call cellphones. There are text reminders as well.
It could be a part of a current media beat up of WINZ.
Media filth have been known to lie or mislead to the point it is an effective lie!
Deaf people with cellphones might use a lot of text communication or messaging with the likes of Whatsapp or Skype.
For a hearing impaired person that would make a huge difference esp as a land line cannot perform that function.
For a low income person eg. disability benefits, that may be their only internet connection . eg 2 Degrees at $30 gives unlimited text and phone calls to NZ + AU and 2.5 GB of data with rollover to 12 months.
You can email to a phone and attach documents.
Many uses.
I pay $10/mo for my phone to 2 Degrees. I get 100 minutes with rollover. I rarely use my 100 minutes. However, I have a landline.
Government introduces a tax incentive scheme for small business to encourage investment
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12269967
“We’re changing this so businesses can deduct ‘feasibility expenditure’ from their tax bills, including for projects that don’t end up going ahead.”
In other words, if a business invests in new product-enhancing technology but that investment does not work out, that business owner will now be able to claim a tax deduction on that cost.
Under the current rules, there is no allowance for such a deduction which, says Robertson, has meant less innovation in the market.”
The example they give is just normal R&D expenditure, in my view, which would be a deductible expense. If a business buys a piece of equipment to use in a new project that subsequently does not work then I would have normal depreciation allowances still apply.
While I can understand the startup situation I do not see much change in the rest.
I thought they announced tax deductions for R&D a couple of years ago. Grant rehashing old policies for a bit of good will self-promotion.
I thought Simon bridges was pretty good on Magic Talk just now.
Clear answers, no ums and ars, and a bit of humour.
Fully concur – Simon Bridges was excellent. I appreciated his straight forward responses on all the topics placed before him. This man has matured well into the role and is coming across to me as a very good party political leader whom I can have confidence in.
Wellington houses prices rising
https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/116004389/wellington-market-giving-homeowners-plenty-of-reasons-to-smile
Probably due to all the the bureaucrats that Labour needs for its working groups etc
250 working groups x half doz on each = 1500.
3 support staff to each group. = 750.
Hotels, transport, resteraunts, taxis, =2000.
Service industries, office supplies.
True figures will be hidden!
It all adds up, how much do you think each working group tilthes the Labour party for their job?
What does it mean. Wellington is going to be a sorry arsed place when Labour lose!
Jock Ellison, former head scientist of agriculture has made an anti-climate change submission to the government committee on climate change. He is speaking to Peter Williams on Magic Talk after 11am.
I’ve set up an email group for the Greens with all of their Mps emails in it.
And I’ve set up an email group for Labour with all the Labour MPs on it
And I’ve set up an email group for left wing Maori Mps’
This allows me to send an email every few days to lots of people.
My theory is that if they get enough such emails it will affect their thoughts or morale.
You say:-
“it will affect their thoughts ”
OK, when did they have any of those things?
Could you please describe, in your own words, for the benefit of the recipients, what ‘thoughts’ are.
That would be a great help!
We know what typical Labour thoughts are… Ooh nice person, must get to know them better in every which way. Bugger if they are keen though,,,,
At least Dig Nap’s doing something. It may have little effect other than a being a bugbear to those who keep receiving his emails but every little niggle the COL receive is a plus.
Here is the one I sent to the Greens to day
Dear Sirs and Madams
Please back off this Zero Climate Change Bill
What is Climate Change?
Global Warming I could understand?
The science is not settled – Peter Williams has brought one denier scientist on every day for the last week or so on Magic Talk.
Go back and look at graphs for 100 years! not 20.
If you are worried about things
Do something about all the extra mouths each year in China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Egypt, The Philippines, Indonesia, Nigeria and Uganda.
All basket case countries with huge and growing populations that will want cars, tvs, phones, heating and light.
Leave us alone – we grow food for the world.
Regards
Do you really think these folks are going to read your emails?
Well done that is a brilliant idea.
Must be putting out a ‘welcome mat’ of the socialization narrative.
All a part of “Ardern’s adhan”.
There must be an “evangelical atheist”, not necessarily of ‘abrahamic faith’ to pray there also. 🙂
Good on him.
I think they should keep religion out of politics.
Don’t have any prayer.
Just get the rates down.
…..”He said he would not accept Muslims or any non-Christians praying at council because they believed in different gods”…….
There are hundreds, if not thousands of imaginary supernatural beings currently fucking up the minds of the simple & the gullible. A secular organisation which should confine itself to matters of sewage, water & footpaths has no need of guidance from any of them.
The largest current religion are those blinded by the climate change religion and it’s associated expected ‘tithing’ of our income to councils and government taxes. I heard on Magic Talk this morning the estimated cost for implementing climate change proposals for each and every NZ household will work out as $3,000 per annum. Suck that up suckers.
This is a good site. All about us claiming back our country.
http://www.100days.co.nz/
We need to get religion out of the public sphere – then these petty squabbles, or worse, will never arise.
Wait for Kea to arrive and say it’s all the joooze fault.

Rugby World Cup 2019: Simon Bridges invites fans to join him at the bar
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/09/rugby-world-cup-2019-simon-bridges-invites-fans-to-join-him-at-the-bar.html
“Bridges also had a tempting offer for locals in his electorate who’ve now got a bit of extra cash to spend on beer.
I’m going to watch the next one – here’s a tip if you want to come along and abuse me, or abuse the ref or whoever it is – at the Tauranga Citz Club. So there you go.”
Simon is having a Q&A tonite in Tauranga at the RSA at 6.30.
I hope to go there.
I will wear my MAGA hat
Report back when you can.
A rather weird article.
Therefore possibly made up (in part) by New shub.
1.Bridges needs to be very careful about slamming the country’s biggest telecom retailer. He might have to work with them one day. Theoretically.
2. Bridges is effectively calling the Spark CEO a liar who cannot be trusted. This may be the case but doing this publicly is unwise.
3. How is the bar free? I watched a tennis final at a pub earlier this year at 2 x $8 glasses of beer = $16. It is not free but going there to watch the footy and not paying anything is freeloading.
A bar is a business that pays taxes, rates, rent, and wages among other outgoings.
Has Labour Lite forgotten this in their pursuit of socialism?
4. How have locals suddenly got more cash –to spend on beer? There was no tax cut under 9 years of Gnats and none in the last 2 years either. Petrol prices are up so less cash. Rates are up (for no incremental community benefit) esp. in Tauranga and Auckland – the latter Labour-controlled dreadful Council created by Labour Lite /ACT.
5. In this era where we are supposed to be wary of and sensitive to bullying why would Bridges tell people to abuse him, or a referee who is an employee going about his job …?
I repeat: this is a weird article that is either Mediajerks made up or else Bridges being a dick; or a combo of both.
If even half of this was said by Bridges the clown is not fit to be PM. The current bobby-headed one is bad enough now; we don’t need such a fool.
…and yes, I shamelessly don’t like the fella for the above and a lot more.
This does not mean I would set out to abuse him as he sits down to watch a game of rugby nor condone it. If however he is abused then I suggest he uses the method employed by Sir Robert David Muldoon when he was leader of the opposition… give the abuser a bit of biffo. ..but don’t start or suggest it.

Census 2018: There will be a new electorate at the 2020 general election
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/09/census-2018-there-will-be-a-new-electorate-at-the-2020-general-election.html
“The number of electorates will increase from 71 to 72 at the next general election, with a new electorate to be created in the North Island.”
After the debacle of the last census I wonder how they determined the increase in each electorate??
And which ‘traditional’ voting block will it be situated in?
Spark are getting the US supplier to “reconfigure the video stream”
I think that means lower the quality so their pipers can handle the data!
Winston is going on about broken promises by Spark, lol. No self-awareness about the cobbled-together Government at all.
What about Whinestones broken arse he had fixed!
How many watched it on Spark? 130,000 or so? Either Kiwis no longer care for the All Blacks or nobody wants a piece of the shit Spark is selling.

So the Christchurch City Councillor gets named quickly but the guy from the PM’s office is still ???
I see in another article the guy” outed” himself but the question still remains on the PM staffer.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/116008780/christchurch-councillor-accused-of-inappropriate-texts-should-come-forward-says-deputy-mayor
And he has…
And he ran for Labour, good on him for stepping forward. Is he being white anted?
The pressure was on as they were half way through an election.
Just wait till we get to the general election, when Whinestone collapses the COL!
Then the shit will hit the fan!
I wondered that. Whatever the truth, good or bad, I hope it finds its way out of the quagmire he is now in.
Well well well.
Just as I thought.
That little shitmyster Greta Thunberg turns out to be a cronies stooge and a fake.

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Winston Churchill wrote this over a century ago.

So SLGs big meeting with POTUS has been classified as a pull aside with no press allowed. Contrast that with ScoMo’s red carpet, brass band and flyover.
Hey Jacinda, ever heard of diplomacy?
Good luck talking trade with the not-so-orange man whose election you protested.
Maybe stepping back from the big-noting smart-ass comments would be in New Zealand’s interest.
Dumb bitch.
Worst government ever.
He’s told her off while Melania passed her the (No give fuck) tissues.
She probably tried the pathetic sad face and he had to spank her for embarrassing her country.
There is no Pacific playground for socialism/Marxism/Communism.

Shouldn’t do too much damage in 20 mins, the length of the meeting between the Donald and our Jacinda.
Right. That’s 25 ums, 17 arrhs, 8 believe mes & 4 let me be absoludely clears.
Times up. Thanks for coming.
Next!
Thank’s for seeing me Mr……….SLAM!!
“our Jacinda”
Not bloody well mine
Trump asks her what the achievements are as PM:
The spinner says:
-Visited 512 kindergartens
-272 primary schools
-mentioned 3 times a week in the Guardian in a favourable light (contractual obligation )
-Been on Vogue 4 times
-40,000 miles on Air Farce One – would have been more if it did not break down so often
-Said ‘Absolutely’ 3618 times
-Pulled sad face 427 times
-Went to the debating chamber 12 times
– told 7197 lies and the truth 5 times
-and completely fucked up the NZ Oil and Gas industry
Now, What about you Mr. Trump?
Nothing compared to bestest witch ever.
https://truthfeed.com/8-actual-hillary-quotes/8825/
Brilliant – that needs laminating and framing!
Professional Arsehole. Two words Jacinda may learn to regret.
Unfortunately SLG is too lacking in awareness to regret being a moron.
The penance will be paid by New Zealanders who want a roof over their family’s heads and food on the table.
SLG can bleat long and loud about child poviddy but won’t ever understand that her smart mouth while PM of our nation is a cause of that very thing.
NZ will, Jacinda is insulated.
Stupid bitch. You reap what you sow.
Looking forward to Trump giving her a serve for bringing the wrong finger food to the meeting.
No media allowed… compare this to the red carpet Aussie was given.
How embarrassing…..

‘Desperate people will pay significant money’: Human smuggling groups target New Zealand
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2019/09/desperate-people-will-pay-significant-money-human-smuggling-groups-targeting-new-zealand.html
“There is an industry out there around people trafficking. Desperate people will pay significant money,” says Peter Devoy, assistant general manager of Compliance and Border Operations at Immigration New Zealand.
“Potentially, the arrangements will cost well beyond tens of thousands of dollars in New Zealand currency.”
The smuggling attempt out of Dubai was likely the work of criminal groups in either Indonesia or Malaysia.”
Why do they sound surprised that some people are more than willing to break the law to get what they want or make an awful lot of money?
I copied this from a comment made yesterday on the blog with the most sluggish moderation in the Southern hemisphere. It originated from a Facebook comment to Alan Jones (he who calls our vacuous PM out for what she is):
To all the school kids going on “strike” for Climate Change.
You are the first generation who have required air-conditioning in every classroom.
You want TV in every room and your classes are all computerised.
You spend all day and night on electronic devices. More than ever, you don’t walk or ride bikes to school but arrive in caravans of private cars that choke suburban roads and worsen rush hour traffic. You are the biggest consumers of manufactured goods ever and update perfectly good expensive luxury items to stay trendy.
Your entertainment comes from electric devices. Furthermore, the people driving your protests are the same people who insist on artificially inflating the population growth through immigration, which increases the need for energy, manufacturing and transport.
The more people we have, the more forest and bush land we clear and more of the environment is destroyed.
How about this…
Tell your teachers to switch off the air-con. Walk or ride to school.
Switch off your devices and read a book. Make a sandwich instead of buying manufactured fast food.
No, none of this will happen because you are selfish, badly educated, virtue signalling little turds, inspired by the adults around you who crave a feeling of having a “noble cause” while they indulge themselves in Western luxury and unprecedented quality of life.”
Wake up, grow up and shut up until you are sure of the facts before protesting.
I don’t blame the school kids… but check out the adults standing for your local council… How many of them are going to be shovelling your rates into a bottomless “climate change emergency” hole?
I don’t blame primary school kids but by the time someone gets into the third or subsequent year of college their thoughts should be starting to gel. If they’re not then their crap teachers are teaching them what to think as opposed to how to think.
Local government is beyond hope. The sane have long abandoned the platform leaving the running of our cities to dribbling socialists & assorted mental defectives.

Kiwiblog is still a source of useful information. As an example, I’ve passed on Harvey’s tip (above) so that Stephieboy can kick-start his Alt-Right-themed panty collection! (It’s in moderation so I’ll check back in 2 hours…)
…..”so that Stephieboy can kick-start his Alt-Right-themed panty collection”…..
I’m certain that at this moment the creep is rummaging in a laundry basket somewhere in the vicinity of St Lukes.
Like you I pine for the fast paced Kiwiblog of yore. Nowadays the chances of one of the ten moderators taking his hand off his knob long enough to clear comments of an evening are slim & remote.
It’s a tough choice but, on balance, I could live with the ten moderators giving themselves RSI injuries more than I could live with the world’s greatest sys-op who seems to suffer from a combination of small-dick envy and irritable bowel syndrome!

“This statement prompted an exhumation, and on July 5, 2017 a second autopsy. It found a cause of death that tallied with the first, an acute subarachnoid haemorrhage due to the probable rupture of a cerebral vein – a brain bleed.
The second autopsy also revealed Rangitutia was suffering from bedsores, pneumonia and cachexia – wasting due to malnutrition – and uncovered a host of other injuries.
Facial abrasions, lacerations to the mouth, scalp bruises, 21 rib fractures, and fractures on his pelvis and vertebrae.
The pathologist cited one cause for all the injuries – blunt force trauma.
“However they were caused, they would have been obvious to both defendants, and caused considerable pain and discomfort to the deceased.”
The dirty filthy feral dirtbags. Hang the bastards.
But, this is a proud warrior race that …… yeah, yeah , we know……
Quotes from text:
“That plan changed when Terry realised the payments he was receiving for Rangitutia’s care, $265.64 a week, would be stopped.”
“Terry also informed them he had swapped Rangitutia’s medication for traditional Māori medicine as he “had the right to do his own thing”.
I’ve been reading https://asianinvasion2019.blogspot.com/2019/09/te-trotter-language-week-trotter-on.html which I suggest is well worth taking a look at.
Largely it is an effort to flesh out the often obtuse thoughts of Chis Trotter of Bowally Road fame. The central theme is the likelihood that Grant Robertson is truly the power behind the scenes & Cindy is actually the airhead, front person & flake we’ve always suspected she is.
If the Fat Fairy is the puppetmaster that Cathy & Chris reckon he is then he has welded the factions of the Labour Party together in a way not seen since the bleak times of Helen Clark.
What do the readers of YSB consider to be the factions & who are the gods of politics referred to?
They are too fragmented and likely to be not welded but placed together with silly putty.
The common front they try to exude is not present when the leaders are out of the picture.
They are by nature and policy, cave dwellers.
Winston haunts anyone.
Robertson is buttressed with finance. All the leverage.
Woods was trained by Anderton. Smarts. With a penchant for pasties.
I don’t see cohesion, just a rabble of wannabes.
Gods of politics? I had this picture of Grey Lynn ladies in Range Rovers drinking afternoon tea with a pinkie in the air and talking about socialism.
I hope machines can pick all those cherries.
Terrorism?

Explosive found in rice cooker in Auckland a few days ago as well.
Why Jacinda Ardern didn’t get a Trump banquet, but Australia’s Scott Morrison did

Oh bless, the media are asking if Cindy is to blame for not receiving a state banquet like ScoMo at the White House.
With regard to NZ-US diplomacy, Ardern has made about every gaffe in the book, even making Joe Biden look like an amateur in the fool stakes.
She has been rude about Trumps hair and his skin colour, she unnecessarily involved herself in an event protesting his inauguration.
She has referred to Trump as a professional arsehole. She mocked his speech to the UN while a guest in his country, and has chosen to insult both the man and his office over climate hysteria, gun control, immigration policy, internet censorship and wimmins affairs.
Now she wants special exemption for NZ for our steel and aluminium exports and what does she have to bargain with?
An earnest face and flicking the spaniel hair won’t count for much and Ardern doesn’t have anything else in her toolbox.
Because she is a cnut..excuse my dirty mouth.
