Great meme.
Where can I get hand gun?
Toy store only in NZ.
Download and 3D print or rent one from you local Gang store – they have plenty of AR15’s and best of all are probably untraceable.
Call me…
AM Poll: Should realistic-looking toy guns continue to be sold?
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/shows/2019/10/poll-should-realistic-looking-toy-guns-continue-to-be-sold.html
How about another poll; should the nation continue to tolerate the bland crap transmitted by news hub?
Yes or how about New hub do a party poll!
Or a poll on refugee numbers
Or the ETS
Pete, I only posted their inane poll on toy guns in response to the question from DNap.
I promise to try better next time! 😜
Just who is charge in the Beehive pen pushers or Politicians, if you think the answer is obvious then think again. The excuse’s coming from muddled Immigration Minister Iain Lee’s Galloway and the Defence of him by his boss Jacinda Ardern beggers belief says Barry Soper.

These clowns could run a piss up in brewery let alone be in charge of our Country.
The buck stops at the top… No, no, not under Cindy and her ministers.
Incompetence rules!
Cindy isn’t actually the top she just sits in the big chair and spouts shit, the puppet master is peters.
Clowns are funny. These Government idiots are not as they are stupid and bloody liars.
The media party has a lot to answer for!
Surely an immigration decision where criminal convictions are involved is not complex? Australia is setting an example of cleaning out those citizens of other countries with criminal convictions. Must be easier not to accept them in the first place or turn them out if they offend after entry.
Yes Australia should just refuse to accept any New Zealanders, and Islanders and Africans and Muslims and any from the Subcontinent.
Problem solved.
Won’t be long and everybody will need a visa to visit aust and another to work there!
Thanks Whinestone for your puppet!
visa …. and to show that one has had a measles vaccination certificate etc.. 🙂
More simply, quarantine all New Zealanders in those islands east of Australia, until the insanity has finished. 🙁 and a sanity certificate is issued.
These clowns could run a piss up in brewery let alone be in charge of our Country. Which explains the erratic nonsense that these clowns think is good policy, you may have meant -could not- simple typo but result is same!
Thousands flee Syrian town as Turkey launches massive military operation
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2019/10/thousands-flee-syrian-town-as-turkey-launches-massive-military-operation.html
What is the old saying from people in the past you have to have wars to stop recessions and depressions.
Many a fortune made from supply!
Turkey should expect retaliation as the Kurds will hit back, hopefully Erdogan will be the prime target so every sucess.
No capital gains tax, not even pill testing : this three- headed Government is out of juice says Glen McConnell.
https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/opinion/116423851/no-capital-gains-tax-not-even-pill-testing-this-threeheaded-government-is-out-of-juice
Drug testing won’t make or break this Government, but it’s a sign of how unstable Parliament is.
Aucklanders get opportunity to walk section of $4.4b City Rail Link
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2019/10/aucklanders-get-opportunity-to-walk-section-of-4-4b-city-rail-link.html?ref=ves-nextauto
“City Rail Link revealed on Wednesday it will hold an open day, giving Aucklanders the opportunity to walk a section of the 3.45 kilometre-long tunnels being built for the project.”
Whoop dee do!
Yup, I agree.
Quiet news day
Wow!! Ive booked my ticket and I’m coming back for that, how exciting!
They can pretend that they are in Pike.
I am sure that the affected businesses will be there with bells on.
Tax high-earning pensioners more to reduce superannuation costs – Retirement Commissioner
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/money/2019/10/tax-high-earning-pensioners-more-to-reduce-superannuation-costs-retirement-commissioner.html?ref=ves-vid4
This comes up every six months
As does a sugar tax.
Another useless report by an academic.. Hubby chooses to continue working while on the pension and ALREADY PAYS SECONDARY TAX on his pension. If he gave up working, he would be paying much less tax, secondary and the loss to the country of his main income tax. As I’m also employed by our business the country would also lose my income tax.
We are for ever grateful, my dear as we sit here supping coffes and having smashed arvo on toast!
edit.
Can you do a bit of OT, please. I would like another cup!
Yum, coffee and arvo. Living high on the hog there Sooty!
I’ll crack the whip so hubby works a bit longer today just for you.
mrspdm and I (73 and 68) choose to work about 15/20 hours a week depending on work requirements. We both pay secondary tax – me on my work income mrspdm on her super.
Work keeps the mind and body active.
I had a look but with the wife younger than me it was too hard to stop and start as you do, she is tagged on to my pension!
You forgot the most important bit. work keeps older men alive. Men need a reason to get out of bed every day and work does that. Dieing from boredom is not at all helpful.
They pay secondary tax rate. on the income earned already.
Whats the difference in secondary tax rate and primary over 70k ?? genuinely interested.
Bugger all. At least that’s the way it was explained to me with the proviso that the rate may be higher if the extra income takes your marginal gross income into a higher tax bracket.
In any case it is the total income earned for the year that matters. If you have over or underpaid tax it’s sorted out after the 31st March. You’d have to be living hand to mouth for it to make much difference.
Thanks Nasska, it’s just that I got a letter from IRD stating that my tax code may be wrong given I earn over 70k and also receive the old super…thanks all…and I am required to change my code to ST..
I don’t think there is fuck all in it.
I got one of those as well. My accountant says ignore it. The IRD are sending out so many letters they are having difficulty justifying them all.
They want to make my super my main income and my salary etc as the secondary income. Given one is about 10 times the size of the other, You can see how it would affect me.
Yes same with me. I am going to ignore it, in fact it makes Fock all difference across the board.
The IRD letter stated that they had contacted my employer (me) and advised them to change the coding…checked with my admin manager and no such contact…Fock em…
You 1% ers are not doing enough to help crack whores.
Fock them too……
$60 a half hour Lofty and you can.
A use of the political system of diversity to an open borderless world.
An easy travel system in Europe, arranged by a friendly politician for a few thousand dollars to get rich, and of course to have great controlled voters in their future home.
“Swedish elected politician caught smuggling illegals from Greece to Sweden”

…. I have smuggled all of my own family members. And many others. It isn’t difficult. ….
…. elected by the people and works directly with governmental and state offices ….
…. He has been a lay judge, a substitute and a municipal politician. ….
…… passports he uses. …. They belong to his relatives …. others who are not. ….. lend their passports are getting paid for it. ….
…. they know exactly how and for what goals these passports will be used. …..
…. those people are informed that these passports will be used illegally. ….
NZ has had its own political and departmental versions of this and still allow and so encourage this, in its different forms.
One would think that probably it is also happening in the Pacific, to gain access to New Zealand and, or to Australia, where the streets are paved with gold, free health care, accommodation, education, benefits, pensions, etc, a welfare system set and paid by the existing taxpayers that are extorted, with menaces.
A future of much more tightening up of passports and visas, residency or allow a free flow to the “borderless” world.
In the case of using passport for island travel, does it show up on imigration as not leaving to come back again?
Immigration control is only as good as its weakest link.
Is it flagged?
Who in the department may make it an issue?.
Would it be deemed racist if you did and also looking it to could be deemed contrary to the signed up UN migration Pact.?
Just an area waiting to be tested, to set new precedents.
A good question, but I still wonder if customs, immigration, just like its minister, with computerization etc. can fudge things, or accept some inane reasoning.
As in the above link, which airport, (ok not so applicable in NZ) and then do not mention you are Syrian but Palestinian is better.
Just a matter of trying, testing, where a soft touch can get them through.
The NZ First leaks reveal a furious party fighting back against its leadership
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/10/the-nz-first-leaks-reveal-a-furious-party-fighting-back-against-its-leadership.html
“In fact, if its electoral donations are to be believed, it doesn’t have any. Instead, in the last two years it has received almost $200,000 in loans from an entity known as “The New Zealand First Foundation”.
This is not a registered company or a registered trust. The foundation has no website, and there’s almost no information about it available anywhere online.
So one of the coalition partners in our government – whose ministers are completely autonomous, the prime minister appears to have no power over them whatsoever – has a discretionary $3bn fund to give away, they’re actively and aggressively soliciting donations from the industries they’re dispensing the fund to, but no large donations are ever declared. Instead the party gains significant funding through loans from a mysterious foundation.
The New Zealand First Party’s annual conference is this weekend. It is very unlikely this episode is over.”
Good skills WG
Open and Transparent
As if we didn’t know NZF financial donation systems are…
Has a complaint been made to the Electoral Commission, if that is the appropriate body or the SFO?
Conference is next weekend
https://www.nzfirst.org.nz/convention-2019
Will be fireworks as Winston tries to regain control. No doubt the NZF conference will be closed to the media. I’d love to be a fly on the wall!
Shouldn’t be able to afford fireworks on money borrowed from people,
Oh dear, and there was me thinking New Zealand was one of the least corrupt countries in the world.
Not since Labour came in. Tens of millions in secret bribes to media, the systemic rape of kids by Party members covered up, Drug dealers connected to the PM given residency while in prison, Child Rape camps run by the ruling party for loyal members. Official information requests denied in most cases…
Auckland solo mum paying back $23 a week after Work and Income gave her $8k she wasn’t entitled too
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/fears-beneficiaries-facing-large-repayments-after-msd-error-turn-loan-sharks
“A 1 NEWS exclusive revealed last night taxpayers are almost $1 billion out of pocket due to over payments to beneficiaries by the Ministry of Social Development.”
I saw this comment on an Aussie website last night when a discussion started on Agenda 21 and globalism etc.
I think many Aussies have our Govt. sussed.
“While NZ is a globalist exercise in seeing how quickly a country with a small population, tiny history and absence of cultural and historical inertia may be brought to UNEP compliance under the heel of the failing NWO.
NZ is off to a scintillating start. It donated more than $10M to the Clinton Foundation (without the tax payers knowledge), launched United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 (without electoral knowledge), embraced UN Global Migration Compact (without electorally sanctioning, electoral knowledge or critical debate from the treacherous Leftist MSM) all this under the electoral radar, and:
1. Endeavours to secularise or Is-lam-ify an otherwise Judeo-Christian nation and increase the abortion rate beyond the present 1:5 live births, while embracing elder assisted suicide
2. Eradicate a leading engine of GDP, milk and wool CH4 producing agrarian quadrupeds.
3. Embrace ethno-nationalism in the form of a sanctioned ethnic elite and UN GMC ‘multiculturalism’ for the remaining fetid hoi-polloi
4. Banned all oil and gas exploration
5. Ban coal and mining
6. Banned prudent forest management in favour of a no touch policy
7. Lock up huge regions of land in UN sanctioned World heritage protected sites, having hardly explored them
7. Banned free speech
8. Endorsed ‘hate speech’
9. Welcome the bureaucratic embrace of UN diktat at national and municipal levels and explicitly institutionalise neo-Marxism and its evil trinity of political correctness, cultural Marxism and identity politics, aka: “super-diversity.”
10. Instituted the thug-support law that bans all free speech when ANTIFA thugs protest under the mantle of health and safety.
There’s obviously far more, but that probably makes the point.”
11. Started the process of disarming all citizens in accordance with the UN Arms Trade Treaty so only the police, military and criminals have guns.
Absolute political deep control exerted by islam, despite all the claims of peace, and supposedly living in an open, free democratic society.
Recent Paris knifing killings of police at head quarters.
Harpon had caused alarm among his colleagues as far back as 2015, when he defended the massacre of 12 people at the Charlie Hebdo newspaper by two brothers vowing allegiance to al-Qaeda.
But even though a police official charged with investigating suspected radicalization among the force questioned the colleagues, none of them wanted to file an official complaint .
https://www.timesofisrael.com/french-president-vows-unrelenting-fight-against-islamist-terror/
It seems that no one wants to criticize or comment about islam or any muslim.
They will keep quiet, so they will not lose jobs, or earn an opprobrium that will effect their families, from the rest of the brain washed about islamophobia.
Is that the same and coming to NZ? 🙁
a radical Islamist with a top secret security clearance and access to all computers in the police prefecture.

Yet is still being covered by secular French politicians!
Our politicians same?
I saw a quick clip on Al Jazeera last week on the Canadian election debates.
One candidate was getting stuck in to Trudeau saying he (Trudeau) was all for diversification.
What is that he said. Its just bad for our country.
They are NOT Canadians he said
You should have seen the look on Trudeau’s face.
Trudea, Macron, Ardern, UN., stirring and selling the “kool-aid” of “diversification” for their power and control.
….. “We find a statistically significant negative relationship between ethnic diversity and social trust across all studies.” …..
…. “Diversity is a strength” is a glib, onerous, empty aphorism that is shoved down our throats as a piece of received wisdom that only racists would deny. …..
It may be politically correct, but has no basis in actual reality. …..
https://summit.news/2019/10/07/new-peer-reviewed-academic-study-finds-diversity-is-not-a-strength/
That insidous diversity message is taught from pulpits, lecterns, beamed through media as a truth, through out the country.when it is a ‘self hate’.
When will our open and transparent politicians, academia, media get real? or more importantly, the voter gain the information, think, and representatives step forward, so voting can be done wisely.
Winston Peter’s case against Paula Bennett and Ann Tolley over his Pension Payments is to hit the high Court on November 4th 2019 and Tim Murphy from Newsroom says Peter’s Leak: Stand by for a Surprise.
https://www.newsroom.co.nz/2019/10/10/850811/peters-leak-stand-by-for-a-surprise
So will Peter’s get what he wants before the day of reckoning , that being Paula Bennett’s head or will his bluff turn out to cost his Coalition with Labour and the Greens a lot more.

Is this the real reason that Grant Robertson has dreamed up a a 5.5million dollar Surplus GDP Growth to cause unemployment rate to rise from 3.9% in Q2to 4.7% by mid 2020Udy said and GDP will slump to just 1.5% in 2020 from 2.2% this year.
Some interesting reading and more graphs from Economist Udy.
It’s beyond belief that it could happen once but this Government has again fucked up. First they accidentally published part of the Budget and blamed National of a hack now Treasury have once again allowed information online, this time the Government accounting book.
https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/116448126/treasury-apologise-to-minister-over-second-data-blunder.
This Ministry needs a clean out as these are school boy errors and should not be happening.
“McLiesh said Treasury took “full accountability” for the error … ”
Can someone describe what full accountability looks like in the public service?
– because I’m sure I don’t know.
Some of these well paid bureaucrats shouldn’t be trusted to lick stamps in the mail room.
Yes that word accountability is the most over-used and abused word in the English language.
Winston Peters used to use it a lot.
What does it mean?
You say sorry
Your resign?
You go to jail
You pay back the error
You hope it gets forgeotten
SLG uses another one that puzzles me:
I take full responsibiliddy ….
I think that means:
“Now FFS change the subject to something that doesn’t make me look bad”
Changing the “t” to “d” appears to be code by lefty’s for those accepted by the inner-circle. 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
Yes , but if one were to suffix “T” and “D” with “a”. The real secret will be revealed.
Ta Da!!
See….magic.
Not resignable apparently, are theses the same public service people who worked under National? What were they doing then?
For some time now humanity has disappointed me. Throughout my life I have predominately believed people were basically good and I’ve had faith in human nature.
I am beginning to wonder if that view is naive and perhaps I should adopt a more realistic approach that reconciles with observed reality.
Cheer up old chap.
Spare a thought for this poor woman.

re Beneficiary over-payments
Carmel Sepuloni said
“We are intervening and facilitating early to make sure that if there is something that doesn’t look quite right we have honest conversations with our clients. Our clients are being very honest with us,” Sepuloni said.
Our clients are being very honest with us.
She should have said said some of our clients are being honest with us.
Sepuloni’s mother is a benefit fraudster.
Clients?? Ppfft.
Sepuloni announced after the COL were crowned that beneficiaries would not be held accountable. Is anyone surprised the amount borrowed from MSD has increased considerably? The taxpayer is being treated like an ATM.
“We are intervening and facilitating early to make sure…
Please don’t. Everything you pricks touch turns to shit.
The Book of Leviticus gives some helpful advice on how to cure skin ailments. Nasska swears it works.
You simply get two birds, kill one, tie the other to a stick, dip the live bird in the dead birds blood, and flick the blood around with your – Aspergillum, as follows.
3. ‘And the priest goes out of the camp and the priest looks, and beholds that the sore of the leprosy of the leper is healed.’ 4. ‘And the priest commands, and takes, for the one healed, two unblemished live birds, cedar wood, Coccus scarlet, and hyssop.’ 5. ‘And the priest commands, and slaughters the one bird in a pottery vessel upon living water.’ 6. ‘He takes the live bird and the cedar wood and the Coccus scarlet and the hyssop and dips them and the live bird in the blood of the bird slaughtered upon the living water.’ 7. ‘And sprinkle seven times upon him purified of leprosy, and he is purified, and sends the live bird upon the face of the field.’
Kea, Have you been eating the spiked birdseed again?

Dutch law being called out as “intolerant”, “islamophobia” “genderist” and seems to encourage “far right” and so perhaps she also means “white supremacy”.
…. United Nations racism expert has criticised a Dutch ban on the wearing of face-covering garments such as the burqa in public, saying the law has “no place” in a tolerant society. …..
….. Tendayi Achiume, the UN Special Rapporteur on racism, said the ban reflected a wider “consolidation of Islamophobia” in the Netherlands. …..
…… “This law has no place in a society that prides itself in promoting gender equality,” Ms Achiume …..
https://www.sbs.com.au/news/no-place-for-burqa-ban-in-netherlands-warns-un-racism-expert_1
Perhaps she can ask why Ardern does not lead the way in NZ in a full burqa? as such a virtue signal would assure the nobel prize, and help to that UN job.
If there is gender equality wouldn’t men also cover their entire bodies with burqa?
I could understand (but disagree with) an argument based on cultural or religious sensitivity, but gender-ism in this case is plain daft.
So? It is time forbus to become racist, sexist, whatever is required to ensure that our culture survives this invasion.
Selling our civlisation in the name of tolerance and respect when it is not reciprocal is madness.
You come to live in a civilised, Western country? Live by their rules. I can’t walk into a gas station with a full face or even a half-helmet on. So take your burqua and shove it

‘It is complex’: Jacinda Ardern admits homelessness cannot be solved in two years
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/10/it-is-complex-jacinda-ardern-admits-homelessness-cannot-be-solved-in-two-years.html
“Ardern also pointed to the Government’s announcement in August that $54 million had been allocated to support initiatives that help at-risk people and families to stay in their existing tenancies.
She then highlighted the $197 million boost in Budget 2019 to strengthen the Housing First programme, including new spending to help homeless people into permanent homes.”
More empty promises by Ardern?
No just another promise broken.
What is one that they have kept on track and target?
But it’s OK to bring in more Muslims and Africans? Utter madness.

NZSIS ‘unlawfully’ helped Defence Force target journalist Nicky Hager’s source
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/10/nzsis-unlawfully-helped-defence-force-target-journalist-nicky-hager-s-source.html
“Investigative journalist Nicky Hager claimed the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS) assisted the NZDF in efforts to identify sources for his 2011 book Other People’s Wars.
NZSIS director-general Rebecca Kitteridge has apologised to Hager for “these failings, any impact they had on him, and any distress that has been caused”.
Hager writes a book possibly breaching NZ defence security discussing forces in a war zone then gets upset when the information he disclosed gets checked out by our security services. Boohoo.
And then gets an apology ffs. Poor petal, what a reality he lives in.

Woman charged after meth found hidden under two-year-old girl in car seat, gun discovered in vehicle
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/woman-charged-after-meth-found-hidden-under-two-year-old-girl-in-car-seat-gun-vehicle
“They also located cut-down .22 rifle and ammunition in the boot of the car, as well as 100 tabs of LSD, another three grams of methamphetamine, $2500 in cash and a large “tick list” containing hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of drug dealing information.”
“This is a major problem that police are having to deal with on a regular basis. These people obviously have no concerns for the safety or welfare of their children,” he said. “They are exposing them to potential harm with very dangerous drugs and firearms.”
How on Earth did the police consider her a fit and proper person to issue a firearms licence to? Oh……hang on a mo….
Did it say the race? Gang member?
I’m sure she had no idea her daughter was in the car.
When the bus ticket is removed from her wrist and the whanau hug her to innocence, she’ll use her pakeha name to regain the pseudonym benefit.
She’s a sponsible citizen now.
There you go….. all fixed.
It is a social problem not a criminal matter. We should legalise Meth and stop financing single parent families with the benefit.
Note that both those moves mean less government and would save the country billions within a few years. Not because of what benefit payments cost, but in the wider social consequences that emerge from paying women to have kids.
The benefit is like using Meth. The dollar value for using is only the tip of the iceberg.
There is a great discount in sentencing.
Not having a gun licence, in possession of an illegal weapon, ammo, and that gaol sentence will be matched to be no more that any other sentence, that then will be served concurrently.
A great discount, and certainly no jail or fine discouragement to having a gun.
The Labour party announced today that it will be changing its logo from a silver fern on a red background to a condom on a flagpole, as it more accurately reflects the party’s political stance.
A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of dicks, and gives you a sense of security while you are being screwed.
Should be a condom on a bare bum!

Australia’s tough immigration stance ‘keeps far-right at bay’

With Greta and the Extinction Rebellion ( good name for a pop group perhaps) so much in the news I have just watched this very interesting documentary from 2008.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYhCQv5tNsQ
The Great Global Warming Swindle caused controversy in the UK when it premiered March 8, 2007 on British Channel 4. A documentary, by British television producer Martin Durkin, which argues against the virtually unchallenged consensus that global warming is man-made. A statement from the makers of this film asserts that the scientific theory of anthropogenic global warming could very well be “the biggest scam of modern times.” According to Martin Durkin the chief cause of climate change is not human activity but changes in radiation from the sun. Some have called The Great Global Warming Swindle the definitive retort to Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth. Using a comprehensive range of evidence it’s claimed that warming over the past 300 years represents a natural recovery from a ‘little ice age’.
According to the program humans do have an effect on climate but it’s infinitesimally small compared with the vast natural forces which are constantly pushing global temperatures this way and that. From melting glaciers and rising sea levels, The Great Global Warming Swindle debunks the myths, and exposes what may well prove to be the darkest chapter in the history of mankind. According to a group of leading scientists brought together by documentary maker Martin Durkin everything you’ve ever been told about global warming is probably untrue. Just as we’ve begun to take it for granted that climate change is a man-made phenomenon, Durkin’s documentary slays the whole premise of global warming.
“Global warming has become a story of huge political significance; environmental activists using scare tactics to further their cause; scientists adding credence to secure billions of dollars in research money; politicians after headlines and a media happy to play along. No-one dares speak against it for risk of being unpopular, losing funds and jeopardizing careers.”
The Great Global Warming Swindle was removed from YouTube last time I checked. Though I am sure various people have tried to put it back.
Its easy to gain consensus when only one view is admitted.
It’s up again now. I’ll download it. Thanks for the tip.
It back up.
deniers
Youtube really are bast..s.
They hide this stuff and they are also de-monetizing many history videos.
F You Google (they once said do no evil)
Google own Youtube.
I just downloaded that video so its safe on my hard drive.
They remove videos, alter search results, change suggestions, change auto complete, and “recommend” videos that guide you towards the extreme left rather than your interests.
If you watch too many liberal videos, they will recommend more anti Trump far left fascist vids. They admit this openly.
I don’t watch any liberal videos!
Take your pick New Zealand.

11 If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, 12 you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.
Let us not forget that Ardern and Bridges were both raised to believe this stuff.
For Trump supporters another good article at the Quadrant.
Verse 11 is not very clear..
whose genitals has wifey grabbed?…. Hubby’s or the assailant’s?
It’s the lack of detail they supply that puts me off taking up holy orders. 🙂
Ambiguous on purpose as it will be the wife’s fault. 😂
Wiggles gender is a social construct and is fluid. So your guess is as good as mine.

There’s an item on TeAra which you may well have written:
“Gold without mining
At Massey University, geologist Chris Anderson discovered a novel method of collecting gold – from plants grown on old mining lands with a high gold content. The chemically treated crops soak up the gold and store it in their roots and leaves. Experiments are continuing to see if this method can be developed commercially. If successful it may raise some interesting legal questions about who owns biologically accumulated gold.”
Did anything result from these experiments?
Love to see a source for plants soaking up gold, as opposed to the things plants need (rather than what people want).
beats the ferals soaking up all our gold (taxes)
That’s racist Ed. And I noticed your transphobic comment did not recognise the Treaty or women.
Still on the never, never.
When I was at Massey in the 1970s, it was Prof Brooks raving on about hyperaccumulator-plants… as a way of cleaning up toxic heavy metals…
https://www.appliedgeochemists.org/memorials/robert-brooks-1927-2001
Looks like Prof Anderson has been carrying on the work…
http://www.kiwiscience.com/phytomining.html
But it’s a struggle for plants to thrive on slag heaps or on ultramafic soils.. so I don’t know of any commercial crops of gold-bearing plants.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0375674213000228
Is the gold attached to something plants actually need?
Na, as far as I can figure out, Gold is a burden to the plant (as are most heavy metals)..but some loony plants probably figure out that the physiological stress they undergo growing on toxic soils is better than growing in a fertile field full of competitors . (change the anthropormorphising into a natural selection- at-work argument and you should get my drift)…
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0093793
Yes that is how things carve an ecological niche, but why uptake the gold if there is no benefit in it?
It must confer some benefit.
Mycorrhiza fungi accumulate the gold and transfer it to the plants. They can be used to remediate toxic soils.
There are three distinct claims in that Ed.
1. Fungi accumulate the gold.
2. They transfer it to plants.
3. They can be used to remediate toxic soils. (plants or fungi?)
Do the plants absorb something beneficial from the fungi and the gold is a by product and its the fungi that make the plants viable on the poor soil not the gold… perhaps?
I regularly have to trim the shrubbery off my gold bullion with a line trimmer.
No perhaps about it. That’s exactly what happens. Fungi take carbon from the plants as a food source and in return give the plant all its nutrients.
Now ya talking 🙂
‘Practice what they preach’: Domestic violence charity Shine facing bullying, racism and fat-shaming claims from staff
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2019/10/practice-what-they-preach-domestic-violence-charity-shine-facing-bullying-racism-and-fat-shaming-claims-from-staff.html
“Shine stands for Safer Homes in New Zealand Everyday. It helps thousands of Kiwi families a year through domestic violence, and receives $2 million in government funding.
But a document leaked to Newshub contains damning feedback to management from some of Shine’s fifty personnel.
It suggests they “promote racism within staff”, that there is a lack of “basic respect” and there are “violent women putting down women”.
Same at the anti male hate group The Womans Refuge. A front for violent predatory bull dykes to prey on vulnerable straight women.
Lesbian relationships are orders of magnitude more violent than normal ones.
Shine stands for what you will get if you disagree with a bull dyke!
Living the lie!

At first I thought this was a call up for possible civil unrest in California. But, because it is dated 3/10/19 it must be for something else.
This could be to control the fall out from impending Dem arrests Trump has told us about.
Some in the know say it may be up to 40,000 personnel called up.
Durham and Barr are back in town so the evidence must be overwhelming.
Brennan is tentatively poised to be the first person arrested.
California might be the dems diversion tactic.

Way better idea than the re-landing booster gimmick that fraudster Musk is using, with billions in corporate welfare.
Musk has done less than the USSR did in the 50’s.
With 70 years of development, NASA, and countless billions in welfare, he has not contribute one single thing to space exploration or science.
Musk should’ve remained an aftershave lotion.
I don’t understand why this box is at the top, can there be one at both ends of the thread? I want to comment after I have seen what others have said so that I am not on repeat, or is it just me? Why should I have to go back to the top?
