Morning Troopers,
Hope you’re all enjoying the drought! There’s going to be some pretty soggy campers out there.
Dangerous things those quad bikes.
“Two people are missing after a serious quad bike crash in the rural Far North this afternoon.
A quad bike rolled into a swimming hole on the swollen Waikainga Stream about 5.15pm, police said.
Emergency services and two rescue helicopters were rushed to the Fern Flat Rd address in Peria.
Four of the six people on the bike were able to make it out of the water, but efforts to find two others are ongoing.”
Wait for it….
Any day now…..
Some fourth rate churnalist will produce an article for our benefit….
Headline: Grieving family speaks out to warn others.
Time and time again people who have suffered easily foreseeable loss warn us of drinking and driving, not wearing seatbelts/life jackets, letting kids play in driveways, supervising babies in the bath, swimming in jeans, overloading cars/boats/motorcycles,
Sure, life has risks (and often that’s what makes it fun) but most people know how to measure and mitigate them.
Saggy ,that’s very sad saggy ,probably the little kids that didn’t survive and families damaged forever, Xmas and new year is gonna be a sad time for years for those families 😢😢
Agree Rev. But unfortunately stupidity got then there. 6 ppl on a quad. No doubt the wuad will be to blame.
6 ppl on a quad bike… ffs no wonder it lost control/rolled. how the hell do you even fit 6 on a bloody quad?
IAASB. possibly there was a trailer involved?
Bet they had a couple sitting on the front carrier. Steering would have been difficult at best. Maybe speed and alcohol a factor too – it didn’t say.
As you state but it’s the crap centre of gravity created by overloading a quad that’s the killer. I’d rather use a farm bike on steep country any day.
Yeah, but not as bad as those trikes, Nass. Had a few scares round the hills on those.
They were death traps. Cornering by leaning out to break traction on the inner wheel takes some mastering.
I once owned a 1983 ATC250R racing trike.
2 stroke weapon.
Phooo man that thing was lethal.
Put ya leg out/down at the wrong time and the rear tyre would grab ya. Awesome for doing long monos and hooning around sand dunes.
SB have you even been to South East Asia?
You could fit that on a step through scooter along with the groceries. A typical set up is a kid standing between dads legs, another sitting behind him, then mum holding a baby, then another kid on the back carrier. The groceries hanging on hooks at the front.
Dad will be talking on a cell phone as he rides in traffic that looks like the end of days 🙂
If you have something bigger you can take more people.
kea, i imagine the overloaded quad wasnt carrying small framed asian folk tho.
quads can handle the weight, its usually the rider that cant handle the quad. id imagine they had 1 or 2 on the front, ya only gotta hit a fist size rock or small pothole and its gunna throw ya to one side.
i used to haul up to 350kg of possums on my quad in gnarly high country, roll overs werent that common had 2 bad ones in 3yrs, my mate came along one day to see what i do and rolled twice before lunch… rider skill plays a big part.
indians and those asian folk do impressive stuff with limited gear tho, the mind boggles as to how they even get moving, must be some interesting fuck ups.
I’ve seen scooters with a shed on the back. That will be their business.
I loved Indonesia. Good buggers.
⬆️ home envy
The shed is for the wet season, to keep everybody dry!
Good morning to you all, only a wet morning?????, Supposed to be far worse tomorrow so that is a disappointment for all those who were going to have outdoor parties this year to see the back of a very disappointing year, though it did have a quite good ending.
Have a great day out there and be safe.
Bit wet and misty at camp Kea this morning. Perfect for a run without over heating. Which means I better make an effort to do one.
Wonder if labor have had their BBQ yet to shaft chippy
Ya fucking joking.
First he gets a job on the pigs back then this Arsehole get a Royal recognition.

I took it for granted the cunt was going to get a gong, I only wish it was a great big bronze one, wrapped around his fucking head.
Leofric ,Something can be done about it, some cnut must have put his name forward so he/she can be ridiculed and exposed for the greasy sleazy shitbag they are .
You can call up the Irish to give a kneecapping.
There is a great series on TV1, On Demand “Love/Hate”. It is about Irish Gangs, their lack of morality, being devious and their brushes with the IRA. It is brilliant. They are all into “Kneecapping” people they consider scum. Mallard would fit right into the latter.
Yes not sure if I would use the English title Sir while living in Ireland , but if mallard does I hope he cops shit from the Irish.
Jesus and all the other deities wept at this fuckery, These honours list are absolutely pathetic. That is chippies and liarbor’s gift to the people its a done deal with the old liarbor. The new government did not have time to do anything about it I am sure. FFS Nasty little fucker that he is. Hope he is recalled
It’s automatic for a Speaker of the House to be knighted. Same as the judges of the Supreme Court.
https://www.parliament.nz/en/visit-and-learn/how-parliament-works/office-of-the-speaker/role-history-of-the-speaker/biographies-of-speakers/
Nothing honourable about the man. What a joke. So he receives his knighthood like a school participation trophy – one for everyone who entered. Handing gongs out to his ilk only gives way to lowering respect for those who do truly do deserve such an honour.
While I agree that Mallard is as free from honour as a frog from feathers the knighthood follows the position. Legally parliament is regarded as the highest court in the land so its head cannot be relegated to a position lesser than a Supreme Court judge.
At least that’s the way it was explained to me.
What really disappoints me is that there doesn’t appear to have been a single award relating to the cyclone earlier this year.
Listening to the scanner on Feb 14 sounded akin to Dunkirk. There were people in motorboats, rowboats and kayaks rescuing others from roofs of their homes. The heroism was astonishing. Following that day there were drop in centres and food drips made all with volunteer labour. The loss of life could have been much much higher.
Advice lines and mental health support was available due to the work of volunteer co-ordinators.
We can moan all we like about the wrong people getting gongs, but if the community can’t be arsed nominating deserving candidates nothing will ever change.
Yep Lizzie, I hope Winston’s Utu runs deep and Mallard gets the call to get into steerage on the next plane and come home. Mind you, I guess he is home on the Taxpayers dime now for Christmas, so if that is the case, there would be no need to get on the plane and go back to Ireland.
Just another lifelong Trougher, so disliked here, he got run out of Taumarunui where he was a Teacher at the High School because of his objectionable behaviour during the Springbok Tour in 1981. His behaviour has not improved since.
Jesus Christ , Mallard gets a knighthood for being an absolute bastard of a person.
So if you falsely accuse someone of rape and destroy their career in the process as well as giving the middle finger to the general public
who incidentally payed for his legal costs is nothing short of gauling as well as a disgrace.
Next thing they’ll be dishing out knighthoods for 501s, gang scum , and the low life cretins who continue to abuse , beat and kill poor defenceless young children.
In my opinion the only people who should receive knighthoods and other such awards are the countless people who give up their free time and do volunteer work for the good of the community. Not bastards like Mallard who are payed large sums of taxpayers money to do a job , a job that he was and is bloody hopeless at . Bastard of a man .
Absolute bastard alright.
‘Sir’ Cunt Mallard.
Winston is Mallard’s new boss. So I’m hoping the first thing that happens for Trevor in 2024 is a recall.
It won’t.
All pals together and Winston wants his Sir.
All drank our cheap taxpayer piss together.
Hay duck, you got the best gong you are going to get. Now fuck off!
Shows you what the being “knighted” is worth!
Was that for providing showers to the River of Filth?
That was always going to be a given.

Cost of living: Kiwis share regrets about buying first home
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/money/2023/12/cost-of-living-kiwis-share-regrets-about-buying-first-home.html
They don’t own a home. The bank owns them and their home. They pay to rent money to live in the banks house and work like slaves to serve the bank. The fact this is normalised does not make it right. The fact others have had to do it does not make it right. The fact meat puppets can’t imagine an alternative does not make it right. The fact that petty malicious people want them to suffer like they have does not make it right.
cant imagine an alternative… let me guess, you want cattle car carriages and camps fitted out with furnaces to solve the problem?
Yes you can’t because:
A. You don’t want to.
B. You don’t care about others.
C. You are morally and intellectually bankrupt.
D. You think you are special.
Property was far more affordable in the past and is in many countries today. The current crisis is caused by corrupt governments and councils running a ponzi scheme to benefit their donors.
3. . .2. . 1. . …
Kea- do you think it’s safe to use a NZ msm article as your authority ?
The time to ask that is when they are talking the market up – to meat puppets. Stuffed run a constant stream of advertisements of spruiker ads presented as “stories” to try and generate interest in residential property. So I am suspicious of your timing…
I can’t believe people fall for it.
My observation is that the msm is full of stories from ” woe is me ” dropkicks. The primary dropkick in the article you cited bought an apartment (!) With a dodgy body corporate (!!!) Ho hum.
The woe is me stories are a minority so they can claim “balance”. Of course you know that.
Anyone who wants the current situation to continue is a shit person and should be treated with disgust and contempt by all right minded people. It is really that simple.
I am sick of moral and intellectual cripples obfuscating this issue.
But Kea, you’re using a woe is me piece as your authority. Bit of an own goal?
How would you fix the housing crisis?
Lets see if there is residual fragment of common decency left in you…..
Wanker ☝️🫵
This sleazy creep ran away from the attendant financial and social rot caused primarily by the property crisis ^
Rents a shack in a developing country where property is more affordable. Hypocrite much.
Successful people wouldn’t bother with the MSM.
Too busy being successful.

Ignore it; Like many narcissists, Mr Williams is just missing the attention he gets from making such statements and is feeling ‘lonely’ and ‘unwuvved’ as a result.
Give him six months and because of his constant need for attention (“Cos It’s all about ‘Him’), he’ll make another, similar , statement, just to keep himself in the limelight.
It’s what narcissists do…
He is a piece of excrement and what the fuck would he know. Go over and fight with Hamas you stupid piece of shit. I hope the IDF gets him for those stupid comments. They have shown from the Hamas terrorists body cams this is true.

A Jewish guy sends his son to Israel to get in touch with his religious roots and gain a deeper appreciation of Judaism. A year later the son returns and informs his shocked father that he has converted to Christianity.
Distraught, the father visits his friend and tells him what has happened. The friend replies: “Funny you should say that. I sent my son to Israel and he came back a Christian too.”
The two friends decide to ask their Rabbi about this. “Funny you should say that”, starts the Rabbi, “The exact same thing happened when I sent my son there too. I think we need to ask God what to do about this”.
So the 3 men go to the temple and pray hard to God, telling him what has happened and asking for his divine guidance. Suddenly, from above, a voice booms out “Funny you should say that!”.
sums up the milk problem nicely.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to one and all. This is the first time I’ve been able to log in. Currently on the inside of Kawau Island desperately trying to dry things out before the next monsoon which will apparently arrive tomorrow. Might have to go into Bon Accord and drink with the chavs on new year
You sure get a lot of thunderstorms up here. Nevermind it’s supposed to finally improve next year

Ukraine – comment on the strikes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzdALZ2-rHI&ab_channel=TheDuran
yep made a point.
Politicans in the Ukraine should be strung up.
Let’s do a thought experiment.
You have $1 trillion, but you have to spend it in three days.
Is it even possible? I guess.
But it would be insanely difficult.
You’d have to spend $333 BILLION per day.
Per hour: $13,888,888,888.89
Per minute: $231,481,481.48
Per second: $3,858,024.69
OVER $3 MILLION PER SECOND.
Most of the most expensive properties in the world are priced around a few hundred million dollars.
Buying a $200 million property every minute would total $288 billion per day, which is still short of the daily target.
The MOST expensive property is Buckingham Palace, valued at around $4.9 billion. You’d have to buy 204 Buckingham Palaces to hit $1 trillion.
The most expensive painting ever sold is around $450 million. You would need to buy about 741 of these per day, assuming you can find that many.
The most valuable sports teams are worth around $5 billion. Purchasing 66 of them per day would still not meet the target.
A top-end private jet might cost $70 million. Buying one every minute would be far from the needed rate.
At a price of about $60,000 per kilogram, you would need to buy over 5.5 million kilograms of gold per day, which is highly impractical given the logistics and availability.
Trying to buy $1 trillion worth of Bitcoin would essentially mean trying to purchase ALL the Bitcoin in circulation, which is not practical.
Point is, $1 trillion is an ungodly amount of money.
Robertson would find a way… Or for that matter any left leaning government.
ED, Easy ,just pay off all the Native Waitangi claims ,that’ll make them happy and keep them quiet until at least all the BMW ,Mercedes,Audi, Porsche, Ferrari,Lamborghini dealerships run out of stock.
extract
…The old UK meaning of a billion was a million million, or one followed by twelve noughts (1,000,000,000,000).
The USA meaning of a billion is a thousand million, or one followed by nine noughts (1,000,000,000).
Increasingly in this country (Uk) we are using the USA meaning of a billion for these big numbers, and a trillion for the old UK meaning of one followed by twelve noughts.
The UK government has been using the American meaning of billion since 1974 for the numbers it gives out….
—————-
The US wins out again over the UK
—
1 million seconds is about 11.6 days
1 us billion seconds is about 32 years
1 uk billion (traditional) seconds is about 32,000 years
In Japan, the big units of counting are:
10,000 (man) or 1,0000
100,000,000 (oku) or 1,0000,0000
and
1,000,000,000,000 (cho) or 1,0000,0000,0000
(identical to the Western trillion)
Each one increases by ,0000 over the previous one. In the West, the jump is by ,000
There is no single word for “million” in Japanese. Instead, the commonly used compound phrase is “hyaku-man” (100 x 10,000)
The Indic numbering system is used in South Asian countries (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka) to express large numbers. The terms lakh or 1,00,000 (one hundred thousand, written as 100,000 outside the Indian subcontinent) and crore or 1,00,00,000[1]
—
the Indian numeral system, the place values of digits go in the sequence of Ones, Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Ten Thousand, Lakhs, Ten Lakhs, Crores and so on
———————-
So about one third of the world population use this.
“Point is, $1 trillion is an ungodly amount of money.”
Assuming that you have good health, your own house, and enough money to keep the wolf away from the door, how much more money do you need?
I am sure that above a modest limit, more money will not make you much happier.
I think that the utility of money will rapidly drop off the higher you go. What do I mean by that? Wine is an example. I can really appreciate the quality of a $25 bottle over a $10 bottle. I think I could appreciate the quality of a $70 bottle over a $20 bottle. But I think I would have a harder time appreciating the quality of a $500 bottle over a $100 bottle. Beyond $100, why bother? (Unless you have a well-educated and sensitive taste.)
(Unless you have a well-educated and sensitive taste.)
BULLSHIT
Somewhere on YouTube there is a guy who tests that. He is super qualified at university level, owns a world class vineyard in Europe and has a crazily high end wine restaurant. He is top of the game.
But he trolls wine snobs. He tips cheap wine into bottles costing thousands and asks snobs to compare them. In one this down to earth woman liked the cheap wine. Her total wanker male friend scoffed and wanked on about the complexity etc of the more expensive wine. She just said the cheap one tasted better. Of course it was really the expensive wine. Numerous examples of this.
They are not educated or cultured, they are pretentious fuckwits. [sorry Mikey]
Thinks Botrytis is some kind of flu ☝️
LOL you jumped up pricks have been outed sooooo many times. Just like art snobs.
The world is laughing at you Mikey.

or
unless you are the made up James Bond who can tell you which paddock in which vineyard in which country the wine came from 🙂
So pretentious.
But then he does score the imaginary babes (like Kea) with exotic names like Chew me, Miss Goodnight, Honey Ryder, and Pussy Galore 🤷♂️

I reckon another one is boats. As soon as you get to a size that you can’t operate by yourself, IMHO, it’s too big. Once you get one where you need paid crew, it’s just invasive.

a very useful privately-owned website with a weather station in Auckland.
Non goo-mint.
Great stats and no predictions. Just records facts; since 2009.
Good slice and dice stuff.
So 2018- a very wet year . Howick weather recorded 1755 mm of rain. I thought 4 days ago it would not be exceeded with less than a week to go
However 40 mm of rain yesterday (Fri) and 40 mm of rain so far today – mostly in the first 3 hours- has taken it to 1813 mm of rain with 38 hours of the year to go.
15 years of recording and this is the wettest.. which January/Feb 2023 suggested.
At 7 pm yesterday I went around the bad spots that occurred on 27 January.
Eden park No 2 field was saturated with surface water but in January 27 the day after was still under several feet of water, as was Gribblehirst park.
Parrish road, Sandringham was not too badly affected. Good to see.

He seems to put it all together to show the actual problems & leads to a better phase of reasoning with logic while keeping & knowing his own principles. …
Essentially Vivek managed to in this instance by pass the form of Critical Theory (Neo Marxism) and Postmodernism, which is obsessed with the oppressor-oppressed narrative.
You can see how that lesbian initially rejects any attempts for objective truth, reason and rationality, but then she could see that walking out was losing the argument, and Vivek would have made his point at her cost.
On some reflection, she let go of some that “obsessive lived experiences” so that she could walk back in, and Vivek made room for her, as an individual.
Why are lesbians always fugly.
Mikey ,if you spent your entire life obsessed with a sexual organ that resembles a nasty axe wound you’d probably lose your good looks as well.
It’s actually a well documented syndrome known as Penis envy ,carpet grading or tongue in groove expert, take a look at the labour and Green female caucus (and some of the male ones), you’ll be able to pick them out easily.
Ahh, so that’s why its called a gash. probably the organ with the most words ever used to describe it.
ROL, Yeah it’s an indication of how obsessed straight men are that that they fight like hell to get out of the thing when they’re born and then spend the rest of their lives and substantial amounts of money trying to get back into it ,😂😂😂😂.
I knowwww ! It’s a nasty wound alright and in a poor location.
They aren’t. Those are just the ones that stand out.

EVs: Up to 500km range.
Reality: 500km range, on the flat, cruising at a steady
50km/hr, no wind, 25°C, no use of A/C, driver only, drive like a green Prius driver etc.
Reality: 300km range, on the motorway, cruising at 80km/hr, on the flat, no wind, 25°C, no use of A/C etc.
Reality: 200km range, open road, hilly country, 15°C, making use of 0-100km in 3 seconds, lots of overtaking
Reality: 120-150km range, open road, hilly country, 0°C, heater on, wipers and demister on.
Reality: Heading out to the back of the property on steep tracks, in low ratio with a full load of posts & wire…….
…….about 5mpg!
They say the new 2.8 diesels pull harder and way less gas
theyd go alot harder if they got remapped and the emissions shit deleted.
all the newer engines are fake power made from turbos and usually only have good power from mid-high revs.
if i had the coin id have one of nasskas cruisers but i dont have enough arms and legs to sell to pay for the bloody thing plus the new v8 cruisers are gutless compared to the early 2000 ones with the ballsy straight 6 turbos.
in aussie one of the muppet workers got a fully laden 8axle truck bogged in the sand while trying to load the airseeder, bosses brand spanker v8 cruiser couldnt do jack shit and just kept stalling, got my older cruiser on the end of the strop and that bitch towed 32ton of truck out it was farking impressive.
youd be chasing down mobs of roos or emus at 120km, chop down to 4th and pin it and the thing would just full on powerslide through big bird and skippy… fun times…. until we done it in an old hj cruiser on skinny tyres and we cartwheeled that thing big time. no seatbelts and dunno how the fuck i walked away, woke up on the bonnet with my leg jammed between steering wheel and the door.
… woke up on the bonnet …
At a stretch “Only the good die young”. 🙂
yup, i cant have been good enough! i was 24 when that happened. windscreen popped out perfectly and didnt even break, roof was completely fucked and flattened down onto the headrests of the seats tho… we cut the roof off at the base of the pillars and turned it into a death trap of a roo shooting wagon 🙂 had to wear ski goggles once the grasshopper plagues started and breath through ya nose so do didnt eat zee bugs.
Cool shit SB 👍
You get one point on your man card. After losing them all for simping.
stupid boy dosent simp bro, my man card is just about at max points. what can i redeem my points on? 🙂
aussie is good fun once you get out into the wops, it was like the wild west where we lived and could do whatever the hell you wanted and no one gave a crap… shoulda seen how me and wifey would get foxes and rabbits without a gun. 200 odd hectares went up in smoke one time when the bunny made a run for it.

Exactly!
That Cruiser may have been diesel powered as it looks like it is the pommy market ,I seem to remember seeing them now and then with a 4 cylinder diesel (imported from another market of course)
There were a few running small 4 cylinder Perkins but they may have been conversions. Most people who needed something that would climb & cross streams carrying a payload loved the FJ40 but bitched about the lousy economy of the petrol six.
Perkins diesel engines are great.
Father-in-law has an ancient 185
Massey Ferguson with a a Perkins.
Had the tractor for 40+ years and the

The new Land Cruiser 70 has a 4 cylinder and goes great.

All other 4WD’s are for slack jawed faggots rotting with AIDS.
I currently drive a 2017 Landcruiser V8 70 series flatdeck. but I reckon my previous 2005 turboed 4.2 would suck the doors off it. Looks okay but Toyota have spent the last twenty years tipping all their development money into a bottomless bucket labelled ‘low emissions’ & it shows.

Yeah..but your sister bro..your sister.
Nasska, we had a 70 Series Landcruiser we used to drag an off road caravan around Australia, few years ago. It was a beast, best vehicle I have owned and I smack myself hard in the left nut every day for selling it and not bring it back here.
But things are changing and this is coming here soon.
https://www.news.com.au/technology/motoring/motoring-news/new-law-puts-popular-tradie-utes-american-trucks-under-threat/news-story/482c367877533279f9b4f8a6171be0b2
It’s going to be a major headache for the sector of the economy that actually do something other than dream up wanky regulations. Thing is that for all the zillions spent on anti pollution developments the gains have been small & the fishhooks big.
Instance Toyota who have it seems concentrated on micro managing injection. The new injectors last anywhere between 80 & 150,000Km & cost about $1000 each to replace. Ford/Mazda went for AdBlue which is a dog. Isuzu who made some of the best small diesel motors in the world have a shit of a system where the engine is forced to breathe a percentage of its own exhaust & every 750Km has a burnoff of residue carbon fueled by raw diesel through the injectors.
All have their drawbacks, shorten engine life & increase diesel consumption. They’ll prise my cold dead hands off the wheel of my Cruiser.
nasska ,Most common rail smaller diesels with particulate filter exhausts have some kind of burn off system ,some seem to be efficient some not so much .
Ford America with their V8 diesels in their F series ute’s had a system where every so many kilometres a pump up lifter would hold one of the exhaust valves open and allow half burnt gasses to supposedly clean the exhaust ,apparently it was a gigantic fcuk up that regularly burnt our the exhaust valve and damaged thousands os engines under warranty.LOL.
When particulate filters entered the market here maybe around 20/25 years many extremely expensive filters were destroyed by mechanics using the wrong oil type.
Toyota have been recommending for quite a while now to replace injectors at 100,000 km, nobody does.
The optional 16′ semi sounds enticing.

I do not usually care for those prophets for the New Year, but here it is a reasonable summation by observation of a number of points & trends.
…. in 2024, we’ll see noticeable failures of systems for providing the things we’re used to getting, which is being aggravated greatly by the flat-out incompetence of people employed at everything, anywhere. Surely, you’ve noticed. ,,,,
….. — enjoy reading other people’s efforts — but, really, forecasting is an exercise in futility.
I don’t have much going besides a nose for news, a pretty long list of correspondents and informants, and my own heuristics.
Take all this for what it actually is: a whole lot of spaghetti thrown at the wall to see what sticks.
Only time will tell. In all, it looks like 2024 is going to be a rough ride and I’m not the only person who sees that. ….

….. Residential Refrigerators and Freezers
The efficiency standards being adopted today for residential refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers, which have not been updated in over a decade, align with recommendations from a diverse set of stakeholders, including manufacturers, the manufacturing trade association, energy, environmental, and consumer advocacy groups, states, and utilities.
Compliance will be required either January 31, 2029, or January 31, 2030, depending on the configuration of the refrigerator or freezer. …..

So what life, will one get out of those global planet saving, life saving marvels?
Smart internet Controls too?

Do you have to flush twice on these modern dunnies to complete a flush?
Where the heat pumps are only intermittent heaters, or air conditioners.
The European half strength vacuum cleaners.
Just as they have fucked up the Cars, longevity & costly maintenance, with those emission controls, computerisation & additives, etc..
But the worst part, how far away & sly is the New Zealand’s ignorant virtue signalling techno-bureaucracy in getting this through.
Before Christmas, it was reported that more than 10,000 council staff across the country were earning more than $100,000 a year.
It was a statistic that prompted the Taxpayers Union to refer to staff being “overpaid”.
But it also resulted in a number of emails from readers who said that the $100,000 benchmark is outdated, and a salary that is not really that notable any more.
So is $100,000 still a big salary in 2023 (almost 2024)?
Brad OIsen, chief executive at Infometrics, said his analysis of Inland Revenue wage and salary tax data showed that earning $100,000 was more normal today than it ever had been in the past.
“Back in 2001, the earliest data we currently have, around 1.5% of wage and salary earners earnt $100,000-plus a year – equal to just under 29,000 people.
“This proportion rose to around 1.9% in 2003, with 38,400 earning $100,000-plus. By 2013, this proportion had risen to 5.9%, with 137,800 people earning above $100,000-plus. In 2023, a considerable 15.6% of Kiwi wage and salary earners earnt $100,000-plus, with 442,000 doing so.”
He said someone in 2023 would need to earn $163,471 to buy the same amount of things that they could on $100,000 20 years ago, ignoring tax changes.
“Back in 2003, $100,000 earners made up the top 1.85% of wage and salary earners according to IRD data. In 2023, to be in the top 1.85% of wage and salary earners you’d need to make above $210,000 a year.
“As another way to look at how the $100,000 benchmark has changed over time: in 2003, the median annual salary/wage was around $22,000, which made a $100,000 salary four-and-a-half times the median. In 2023, the median annual salary/wage, from IRD data, was around $54,000, making a $100,000 salary only 1.9 times the median.”
NZ Council of Trade Unions policy director Craig Renney said whether $100,000 was a lot would depend on the context.
”If you’re on $100,000 as a pediatric oncologist, that’s probably not a lot. If you’re on $100,000 and you’re doing a very low-skilled job, it’s probably a lot. It’s a question of, rather than the number itself, what is the market rate for that skill? As a target or number it’s probably arbitrary. It’s very much a function of if you’ve got someone who has widely marketable skills used in lots of places and they’re in demand, that may well be the market rate.”
He said New Zealanders still generally earned less than people in Australia. “If you were having this conversation in London, £50,000 wouldn’t be an enormous wage. But if you’re having it in Newcastle, where I’m from, it would be winning the lottery. It’s a case of what is the market telling us? If lots of people are earning that amount, is it because they’ve been able to cheat the system? That’s highly unlikely.”
He said inflation since Covid was 17%, so even people earning higher amounts might not find they had much disposable income left over.
”The number itself it’s fairly meaningless. The key question is whether people are getting paid a rate that reflects their skills and talents.”
Researcher Jess Berentson-Shaw said $100,000 might only seem too much if it was compared to the low wages that were often not enough to support people..
“It’s all contextual really – housing and food are so over-inflated because they are sources of wealth creation for a specific group of people and various policies that lock in high-cost food and housing, which means whatever people earn has to be seen in that context – $100,000 is not all that much in that context especially for people raising kids, with student loans, renting … and it means many of those on lower incomes are actually living in relative poverty.
“We – meaning people in government – should be aiming for policies that are shown to work over the long term to help those on low incomes raise their incomes, increase availability of good meaningful jobs, and lower the costs of homes and food and education – the foundations of a healthy society, really.”

Well the last guy has just had 6 years to put it right and failed.
What a joke he is.
cant really argue with that.
100k nowdays is nothing really, its just the expected minimum wage for many roles esp if any sort of responsibility is involved.
i wouldnt blame the deminished buying power all on inflation tho, convenience and technology has been the driver of prices on consumer goods.
2 good examples of that are utes and cellphones, in 2003 a good cellphone was under $100, god knows what a new hilux cost? 30k?
the cellphone i guess has evolved into a camera and computer aswell so i can see some justification in paying a small fortune for one but todays utes are impractical pieces of wanked up shit that now cost 80-100k and have shorter lifespans with no real extra benefit of the same vehicle of 20yrs ago.

Getting a bit sick of the early arrivals banning everyone from using public spaces every time there’s a death. I don’t imagine they can legally enforce it.
“A rāhui has been placed on the Far North stream into where a quad bike carrying six people rolled – barring anyone from swimming or fishing while two people remain missing after the incident.”
Late arrivals are worse. Ask the Palestinians.
do they even have a legal standing?
tell em to go fuck themselves, usually theyre an ocean thing as the bros are paranoid about eating a crayfish that may have chomped a body… amazing how theyre worried about what they consume yet kfc and maccas isnt a worry.

To keep on Utube Dr, John Campbell skirts around the issue.
Here he is pushing that those these heart diseases, need a pathological – immune-histography stains as where I left a comment on how Arne Burkhardt, could see that there was an even further underlying causes of what was deemed as a “natural cause” of death, but was not.
Nobody wanted to replicate his work, in doing those full autopsies, to see what he found out.
This thread the other day links to Dr, William Markus and the last interview with Pathologist Professor Doctor Arne Burkhardt. who knows where & what to look for in an autopsy, & setting up the pathologist’s microscopes slides.
https://ysb.co.nz/have-your-say-1710/#comment-375833
I found that Arne Burkehardt interview pulled together many of the points that many of us aware of, to the full picture.
Arne found those white blood clots, & understood & explains it very well how they came about ! ! ! & why they can be hard to diagnoses in a live body.
Also to note an undertaker in New Zealand also noticed this problem.
Now why is the cursed New Zealand Health Ministry not making available all of its raw data, atomized, anonymized for open & transparent independent analyse to see what patterns there may be.
This is how pedos and sex offenders get close to their victims – by appearing like a decent guy who would never do anything like that. They speak out against rApE and things every chance they get. You know your kids would be safe – because they stand on a soap box and tell you so.

Houthi attack on India-bound ships – India vows to find perpetrators in Red Sea
That’s one Navy we probably overlook when looking at regional powers.
Houthi are attacking Israeli owned vessels, because Israel has been caught balls deep in genocide. Zionist stooges worldwide are going into red eye beserker mode for their paymasters.
I don’t usually comment on the Gaza debacle as Hamas are a scourge, but the IDF don’t understand a proportionate response. However, the Houthi need to stay out of this, as should everyone else.
Lets hope they shoot the shit outta them!

Atheism
Benefits:
– Free on Sunday!
– Get to focus on the now.
– No guilt!
– Can claim full responsibility for life’s achievements.
Drawbacks:
– No afterlife.
– Must take responsibility for life’s failures. Damn!
Benefit: – You get my musings at a reduced rate, and I am prepared to work on a Pray Now, Pay Later arrangement. I don’t offer this to God Botherers as I can’t trust them.
No afterlife may be a benefit. Depends which way you think you might be headed.
