So Ngai Tahu have gone from a $350,000,000 profit to a$100.000.000 loss in 12 months despite getting an annual $100,000,000 gift from the taxpayer ,wow if only the average business owner could just dip into the taxpayers bank accounts every fricking year as a “top up” to their TOW agreements ,apparently this is going to happen forever to bring equity to Ngai Tahu’s agreement compared to later agreements with other IWI, which CLOWN administration agreed to this annual raping of NZ taxpayers and I’d guarantee there are still members of whichever government did agree to it still balls deep in the stinking trough in Wellington, people wonder why our country is so far down on the trip to 3rd world shithole status.
But never fear the old dog Winston is back to put a stop to this legalized corruption just like he has promised to do on a 3 yearly basis for 40 years, LMFAO.

Revvy, the Government of the day who settled this was the Fourth National Government led by The Great Helmsman, Spud Bolger.

The Minister of Treaty Negotiations under Spud, was non other than The Duke of Montrose himself, the convicted criminal and Knight of the Realm, Douglas Arthur Montrose Graham.

Doug Graham, was the Tosser who set up the Top Up Gravy Train for Ngai Tahu and Tainui etc, in perpetuity. The Duke of Montrose, as with many Lawyers, was not New Zealand’s friend and here is a classic example of why they are not this country’s friend.

He was the one who changed nothing with the maori seats, as under MMP, the agreement was that they would go. Now we have the repercussions of that.
Bolger reneged on that, when he should have struck while the iron was hot for MMP.

S1, I would as a common Voter of this country and as a recipient of the policies and actions of some of the Ruling Elite, like Bolger, I would rank him as one of the great Traitors of the people and of democracy in New Zealand.

CO2 is not hard to make.
Bakers have been doing just that for several centuries.

The most common leavening agent is carbon dioxide, a gas that is produced by a chemical reaction with the use of Baking Soda, baking powder or yeast in a recipe. Baking Soda yields the carbon dioxide for leavening when it’s heated.
What are the 3 substances in baking soda?
The chemical formula for baking soda is NaHCO3. The scientific name for this compound is sodium bicarbonate. In this compound, three oxygen atoms are bonded to a sodium atom on one side and a hydrogen atom on the other side. Baking soda is also a type of salt, and it has a pH of about 8.35, making it alkaline.

So put some Baking soda in your beer and warm it up.

The active ingredient in both baking soda and baking powder is sodium bicarbonate, or NaHCO3. This compound acts as a leavening agent — which means that it reacts to release carbon dioxide gas (CO2) which gives bread, cake, and pancakes that fluffy texture we know and love.19/05/2022

What does baking powder create?
As with baking soda, the purpose of baking powder is to create air bubbles that give your baked goods their light, airy texture. There are two types of baking powder: single action and double action. Single action baking powder creates the carbon dioxide bubbles upon contact with moisture, similar to baking soda.

so some options rather than whinging.

Reply to  The Ancient Hooligan

No that’s not correct.
The Marsden refinery was owned buy companies that mostly have no interest in NZ much anymore. It was a tolling operation that has barely covered its running costs. The shareholders made a business decision based on their business and its property rights to change.
There are other companies that have been building their presence throughout the NZ market and they never used Marsden for their supplies so immediately had distribution and price advantages..
Tauranga has a lot more tanks which, if you recall many were removed from downtown Auckland. Feul is now shipped direct to other ports such as Christchurch and Dunedin, New Plymouth and so on.

Property rights belong to the owner. Would you have the taxpayer subsidize some overseas oil companies where our usage is less than a reasonable-sized town?
We don’t matter in the world.

On the bitumen front, we have been importing it for years.
nothing new about that.

The quality is no better nor worse but we have loaded up tucks with much greater loads and fitted them with bouncy bags. Those two things and our low quality roads coupled with a lot of rain do the damage.

After all it used to be made from coal tar and we used it for lots of things then.

Well Viking, Marsden Point may well be owned by overseas companies, but much of the funding for this infrastucture originally came from the Taxpayers of this country. I know, I bought the Hydrocracker in under National’s Think Big policies which allowed Marsden Point and the country’s fuel stocks to become more self sufficient. This was done as a result of the oil shocks of the 1970’s. The shareholders then were the 4 major oil companies and they understood along with the Government, the need for having an oil refinery in NZ. The major shareholders currently are Z Energy who are owned by Ampol in Australia, BP and Mobil. Quite frankly Labour should have classed MP as an essential industry, but to let it go helped our Climate Change goals and as a result Labour were happy to do nothing.

You are correct Viking about it being a private company BUT Marsden did more than supply fuel — good quality bitumin for example. The government should have recognised it as a national, strategic asset and took it back under Govt. ownership until some better form of ownership was developed.
They would have only had to offer say 10 or 20% of the dismantling cost and the company would have grabbed it, because they would have been financially ahead.

Jim Bolger on Act’s Treaty referendum plan – ‘It won’t and shouldn’t happen’
Former prime minister Jim Bolger says Act has “zero” chance of getting a referendum on the Treaty of Waitangi through government negotiations.

Act has staunchly lobbied for a constitutional overhaul; pitching for the Treaty principles to be rewritten, legislated and ratified by the public.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/kahu/former-pm-jim-bolger-on-acts-treaty-referendum-plan-it-wont-and-shouldnt-happen/T56UFYKFP5B4NPX4Z5JPZ4LPHE/

Asked about his thoughts on a compromise on the Act’s referendum policy, Seymour said he saw addressing the principles of the Treaty as “critical”.

He would not let on where his party’s proposed referendum has landed in negotiations, only saying he was “happy with the engagement” to date.

Seymour said Aotearoa’s constitutional arrangements must “enjoy broad support” to be sustainable and it’s only democratic his Treaty proposal be put to a referendum.

“I believe it’s time to close the loop and allow Parliament, and ultimately the people of New Zealand, to have a say on what those Treaty principles mean,” he said.

A good way of slip sliding away the make-up of the National Party vote, to dissipate, reduce any power of what may be a central right, while enhancing the Maori, Green & Labour.

So is this a genuine error? Most likely, but why is the leaning on for Waitangi Treaty so important to gain that part time job.
Is it so the lowest common denominator, to achieve DEI diversity, equity, inclusion, to have more people of lower ability & only real responsibility is to Treaty principles, however that is interpreted.

… The 1986 Royal Commission on the Electoral System acknowledged the importance of the Māori seats to Māori.
However, it found that the Māori seats had not helped Māori and that Māori would achieve better representation through a proportional voting system.
The commission recommended the abolition of the Māori seats if a proportional system was adopted.
Māori responded that the way the Māori seats had been administered limited their effectiveness, not the seats themselves.
The Electoral Act 1993 created a 120-seat MMP (mixed-member proportional representation) Parliament that included Māori seats.

https://teara.govt.nz/en/nga-mangai-maori-representation/page-2

Of course this wiping of maori seats is played on the down-low by academia, & media for the beneficiaries of this warped voting system.
As can be seen, this is a part of the trend to a “revamped” democracy to enable “Co-governance”

The electoral commission is “disappointed” after a number of counting “errors” weren’t identified after this year’s election, seeing some parties get more votes than they should have.

Some party votes were recorded in the incorrect row for two voting places in Port Waikato and one voting place in Ilam. One incident saw nearly 500 votes given to the Leighton Baker Party instead of National.

“What we’ve done since we discovered them is we’ve gone through all the party counts to check if there were any others, and we’ve only found the three mentioned.”

That looks bloody dodgy and deliberate.
There was no fiddling with Green or Liebour at Pukekohe school.

For 2.5 k votes supposed total for leighton baker with 500 free extra votes is a massive change.

I have never trusted the 2020 nz count esp the supposed swing away from national in rural areas (does not make sense) and these 500 deprived votes underscores this.
Not a fan of notional but, hell let’s honestly count the votes that were cast.

Will the person(s) who did this be prosecuted for election fraud?
It looks like a deliberate hit on notional.

Surely this can be done better with cross tabulation to validate counts.
It makes me deeply suspicious and no one did a simple check to do a reasonableness test comparing voting from each booth to weed it out.
I could set that up in an excel model in under 10 minutes.
This is run of course by green voting vile cunts in wellington.

this makes election counting deeply suspect that there are no checks in place.

So called Academics, Scientists and “Experts” talk some crap. Here is so called “Expert” a Shark Scientist no less, claims a shark close into Onetangi Beach on Waiheke is there because of Climate Change. He states:

“There are many things that could have driven the shark away from its usual deep-water: “Overfishing, pollution, climate change”.

Well, it just so happens I grew up and lived as a young fella with my parents and grandparents, right on the beach at Onetangi. My family had lived at Onetangi since the 1880’s. From the time I could waddle, my Grandfather took me fishing out of Onetangi and down to the bottom end of Waiheke, on a very regular basis. There were always sharks about, Hammerheads, there were lots of, Blues, Mako’s and Bronze Whalers, there were plenty. They were often seen out deep, and close to shore. And from time to time amongst the waves on Onetangi. This was the 1950’s and 1960’s. Pollution and Climate Change did not bring them in then. The opportunity of food bought them in.

But the excuse they are there now is, “Climate Change”. What bullshit.

The obsession with wokeness and pronouns seems to have started in the dankest, smelliest corners of Tumblr, where the snowflakes and social justice warriors first crawled out of their safe spaces and started infecting the rest of the internet with their cancerous ideas.
From there it, spread like a sexually transmitted disease through college campuses, where the fragile minds of young adults were easily swayed by the siren song of victimhood and oppression points.

How dilute does that “drop of blood” have to be before you are no longer “Maori”? Is there no lower limit?
If an ethnic Chinese (100% Han) marries a blond-haired, blue-eyed man whose great-great grandfather was Maori, would their children (1/16th Maori but half Chinese) be eligible to claim a Maori birthright?

What non-blood qualifications could bestow “Maori-hood”?
– Volunteer work amongst Maori? (I have misgivings about targeting a group for assistance based on their race.)
– Fluency in ceremonial Te Reo and marae protocols?
– Practical fluency in Te Reo? (to the point that you can read the bilingual signage popping up everywhere in this country)

I don’t think that the process of becoming a Maori is quite as easy as you may think Odakyu-sen. Whakapapa is everything……..the ability to put down a hangi, good works & a proficiency in kapa haka won’t get you much in the way of tribal benefits.

This, for instance, is the registration form for Ngai Tahu https://ngaitahu.iwi.nz/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/WhakapapaRegistrationForm.pdf

I personally doubt that the effort is worth the candle. A good mate of mine has an impeccable whakapapa traced all the way back to 1848. He’s 37.5% Ngai Tahu Maori & although he lives in the NI he remains in contact with his cousies. Last time I saw him as usual I rarked him up over his payout from the huge fisheries settlement Ngai Tahu negotiated with the Crown.

It seems that he still hasn’t seen a snapper head or a packet of fish fingers in recognition of his ancestry.

How does one “rise above one’s station”?
I am not a fan of aristocracy and am grateful to the Americans for stripping the kizoku of their ancient powers and land holdings after the end of the Pacific War.

……”Not a very egalitarian system, is it? “……

No. Your ascribed status at birth is generally your lot. The only exception I can recall is where an individual becomes a great warrior. Even slaves whose lowly position lasts forever within the iwi can promote themselves through feats on the battleground & this passes on to their descendants. Of late there have been few promotions although someone such as Willie Apiata probably moved up a few notches on the totem pole.

The system offends those of us of an egalitarian persuasion but isn’t totally different to the creation of knights in feudal England.

The Maori system is definitely feudal.

(A bit like Communism, where the workers are the serfs and the nomenklatura are the aristocrats, handing their power down to their offspring,)

Although, under Communism a bright and talented child could do well in the State system and rise up the ladder (provided they played their cards right).

Stolen quote.

The uni told her to pull her head in. She didn’t and now accuses her employer of ‘not protecting her’. Whose fault is it she kept spouting off? Her choice so suck it up buttercup.

Yeah but everyone is spending up large on residential real estate. They have nothing else to do once they lose their jobs and businesses.

So I am told. Repeatedly. Because property prices are magical and have nothing at all to do with the wider social and economic situation.

https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2023/11/election-2023-leaked-internal-labour-feedback-from-mt-albert-shows-chris-hipkins-on-chuck-list.html
An internal Labour Party election feedback about the ground campaign for one of its backbenchers has been leaked to Newshub.

She may have asked for Mt Albert’s vote but she only just got enough – she won by 20.

The leaked email includes keep and chuck lists – basically what went well and what didn’t this campaign.

On the chuck list – what didn’t go well – were bad numbers in their phone bank database, the Greens, complacency on safe seats, Labour’s manifesto being late and ineffective, poor morale and campaigning on the party’s management – not vision.

But there was also a major point: They want to chuck Hipkins.

FFS. Which is it, a boiling planet or owners having to work longer hours?

Climate change is making horses overweight, says leading vet
