Dark and damp here with aqua descending from above this morning.
Might have to go looking for and root out Spies with “Chinky Sounding Names” who could be lurking in the dark parts of the King Country today. Unlike the Government who won’t name their Spies, I will, when I catch them. Just doing my bit.
Like the Obuma cartoon!
Thank you The Ancient Hooligan, that will be very helpful. I watched a 60 minutes documentary last night about Chinese spies and police and the army going into Fiji and removing any persons they choose and the police of Fiji did nothing!!!!!!!. I think we have more far more reason to be very frightened of the Chinese than we do Russia where the governments of the western world seem to have a great dislike/hatred of. That 60 minutes programme was very scary and I would not be going to Fiji any time soon. well in my lifetime that is for sure.
Wow lizzie
Quoting 60 minutes from the teevee !!
and being scared by it
ha ha
Were these the same 60 minutes critters who went into a ‘no go zone’ in Sweden after being told not to by the local police. Where they left s guy in a wheelchair.
Be Kind
Is it the same 60 minutes mob that were involved in a kidnapping in the Middle East- illegally of course.
Quoting teevee shite does nothing for credibility.
Hint, it is usually very very very very biased.
Lizzie, the Chinese are not acting any differently in Fiji than they are in Vanuatu, the Solomon’s, PNG or probably Africa.
Winston Peters in the late 1980’s warned this country about the influence of China in this country and to wary of them. he was roundly castigated, but he has proven to be correct. China is doing what China has always done, spy on other countries and their own people. They always have and always will.
Wow yankee propaganda shit.
My annoying gripe of the day – waking around 4.30 ish – no, not with a pressing bladder wake up – and then unable to get back to sleep. Active mind on overdrive.
About 5 ish I do go to the loo to take that thought away but no – still awake. so then anytime from about 5.30 – get up. Normal bedtime around 11. So about 5-6 hours sleep a lot of nights.
Now SB can get on and tell us how he exists on well less – I am just not sure how. And obviously AH and Lizziep are usually up well by now,
Anyway bit of morning “spillover” showers going on, meant to be a southerly change mid morning and we are off to Timaru for the day.
I feel for the people on the bridge – what a terrible way to go.
Sadly I wake every morning at 5 have no idea why other than I used to take the dogs for a walk before work when working and wanted to get going to start at 8??? Think it’s programmed into me now. I am looking forward to daylight saving ending so I can wake at 6.
Switch off your phones and YSB and all earlier. It winds your brain up and keeps the adrenalin going. You need to give it time to cool down.
I heard just yesterday that eating a banana in the evening is good. Causes the body to produce melatonin and that is a sleep hormone.
Was the same last night. Worked late then couldn’t sleep.
Oh and stop drinking around tea time then ya bladder doesn’t piss you off.
That container vessel would have drifted past the bridge pylons, but the efforts to regain control caused it to turn hard to starboard, it seems.
Was the captain aware of how the vessel would react to emergency re-start procedures?
If he knew that there was a chance that the vessel would initiate a hard turn, it would be a bad decision to restart if the ship would have likely drifted past the bridge pylon if he had done nothing.
OS, may not have drifted past the bridge pylon if there was a total power failure which in turn affected the steering.
What was really dumb was designing and building a bridge with no concrete abutments to prevent a vessel hitting a bridge support.
After this accident, local laws may change.
the bridge fuckup is unreal ay hp, im blown away how much collapsed so easily. “lucky” it was 1am when it happened i guess and not rush hour or something but yeah shit of a way to go.
as for your sleeping thing mrs sb the last 3 nights has been waking at exactly 1.18am then cant get back to sleep which creates a very very tired grumpy and very yelly wife 🙁 . last night i was still up watching youtube when she appeared and broke down crying at 1.20am, shes still awake and grinding teeth in frustration so guess the kids best walk on egg shells today.
sleep is a motherfarker at times, i gave up being frustrated about it 20odd years ago and just embraced it! lots of ppl wish there were more hours in the day to get stuff done so thats what i try do with some of that sleepless time.
you could become the waimo weirdo (if theres an opening for the position 🙂 ) and be the 4.30am gardener or go for a walk/ bike ride etc.
Morning all, fine up this way with a big moon. Haven’t even bothered with the news this morning, I’m busy at work and need to be in the right frame of mind to get everything sorted out so I can escape at lunch time tomorrow. I’m going up to Russell to give drinking and fishing lessons to the locals.
I know a Russell who’d be keen on some fishing lessons.
Jack Russell?
If that’s the Green ginga whining knob end you’re thinking of he needs keel hauling lessons. As luck would have it I just happen to be an expert.
Na not that prick. I’m thinking of one of the few people who wouldn’t benefit from you giving them sailing lessons.
Thank god for that! I was wondering why you spelt his name wrong. That Russell could give me keel hauling lessons, I’ve actually met him a fair few times over the years – back before he was famous and actually had to sail. He was obviously a good sailor but he was also a very good skipper who new exactly how to manage people and get the absolute best out of them without screaming at or abusing them. A rare ability in competitive sailing and why he rose to the top.
here hooli rip into it…
https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/350226740/oriini-kaipara-not-ok-about-you-profiting-my-whakapapa-art-work-removed-sale
unreal, cant paint a pic that dosent really look like someone and sell it cuz the bint who thinks its her dosent want to commercialize or anyone profit from it yet to progress her career she got her barcode then media used her and her image, commercialised it and profited and thats ok apparently.
then this for contrast, cuz hes dead n gone its a great thing that the art sold…
https://www.1news.co.nz/2024/03/26/portrait-of-maori-man-sold-after-six-decades-hidden-away/
im confused, one says selling painting good and other says selling painting bad. is it cuz ones a woman ones a man??? think its just cuz a whinging women who likes to bully.
SB, thank you for the invitation to comment. I’ll bite.
Orini Kaipara, the only known full blooded Maori alive in New Zealand with a Bar Code attached to her mooch doesn’t like a Ginga Saffa and self confessed immigrant painting a likeness of her without asking “her permission”.
Either that is racism because the artist is a white immigrant or preciousness because the subject is a self serving small minded Twat who is full of her own self importance. I can’t make up my mind, but maybe both.
As to Vera Cummings work, I wish I had some or even one. An absolute master, like Goldie whom she studied under.

This story is inspiring. I might do a painting of her chin tat -or “sacred moko kauae” if you prefer – and put it on a sheep. Or maybe a goat. Or some other popular animal. Suggestions welcome.

On reading that, a ‘Tui’ response comes to mind…
That’s just amazing!!! The only maori in NZ!
They should make her Queen!
Publish it then dear! Go on I dare you.
Guess she doesn’t mind making a bit on the side though.
“Kaipara, now the Māori cultural lead for the New Zealand Olympic Committee,”
Snout in the trough!
Do they have a male version aswell?
You can’t have a female telling them how to do the haka, now can you! So I guess that would make her subservient!
Thought for the day –
Decolonisation: Removal of access to anything that didn’t exist pre-European.
I really don’t think many of them would survive.
There is a trend to rename Auckland Council urban parks with Maori names.
Seems a little unfair, since Maori never created those parks, and although only 16% of the population self-identify as Maori, none of these people would use Te Reo in their daily (non-marae-protocol) lives.
The Council must have an Orwellian agenda of re-writing history in an attempt to manipulate the future.
When will we see street names or park names taken from the Chinese or Indian languages?
(Apart from Bombay.)
Don’t you mean Mumbai?
“Bombay” is English, anyway.
Are Bridges white colonial imperialism? Bridge fall down, many die. Bad place to lose mechanical availability due to increased diversity.

They had two lady pilots and they were arguing as to which side of the pylon to go past!
The NZTA would instantly analyse the problem & avoid a repeat with 2000 floating road cones & a speed restriction.
yup, the radicals get all upset about a handful of things they think colonisation has been bad for them but neglect to include the thousands of benefits they enjoy thanks to colonisation.
Wonder what would’ve happened down on the pa in the day if young Rangi just decided he didn’t want to help out, and everyone else could look after him. Probably would’ve got his head stoved in.
And into the pot.
Only some central north island tribes had access to boiled food via thermal pools but i bet it tasted like sulpur.
No it doesn’t.
At Whakarewarewa tourists can buy corn on the cob cooked in the boiling thermal waters.
There is no hint of sulphur taste.
Didn’t have pots Sooty, way too advanced. Wrapped in fern frond leaves and buried in a hangi for a long, slow cook. Tastes like dirt whatever they hangi.
I know that, but the pot sounds better!
Cherry picking is the only way the Maori Party and Greens can exist.

Bits of meat to DNA. Fucking funny if there were several different bits.
Looks like a gas job. does that to caravans.
Looks like he had a furnace of some kind in there. The bit with the pipe looks like a big furnace that my sone had in his workshop. Used it for making and tensioning springs,for trucks etc.. Gone now as springs are mostly replaced with air bags, I think it became a pet crematorium.
Yep it got that hot.
Could have been using it to strip plastic of copper wire. Been a lot stolen down that way in the last few months.
Still an easy cleanup.
Unless of course he is one of our special people. But can’t be have heard any wailing and so on.

Saw on the telly, some food truck made to look like a sausage rooll!
I can imagine chippie racing down the road, arms waving, yelling stop ya bastard, stop!
Talking about pastry is 3 pies woods still at the trough.
Hidden away by labor, outtasight, outta mind!
😆 😆
Sausage rolls should pay the bastard for the free advertising he gives them.
He might be better in a comic skit about sausage rolls then he is as a leader of the desperate, disparate group of queers and rag tags that he is enslaved by.
Yer, but he would eat them outa house and home!
Apparently the useless bastard gets paid $296,007pa as Leader of the Opposition.
Can anyone, no matter how fried on the cooking sherry they may be, think of a real world job that would pay him a quarter of that?
Does anyòne else think that the sausage roll kid gets more airtime than national leader got in opposition!
He’s certainly got the stunned mullet look to a tee!
Yep, the Upper Hutt Whinger, does not exude, intelligence, vision or competence of any kind.
I would have likened it to a Possum in the headlights, but stunned Mullet will do.
The ginger whinger certainly does not exude the truth. He wouldn’t know the truth if he fell over it and it smacked him in his jaw.
The msm are promoting their socialist propaganda machines in supporting the lies and manipulation of the knee high ginger whinger.

“A sheep.”
“Nice. All that lovely roast lamb, mutton broth & some delicious chops will keep you going for ages. Plus the fleece will keep you warm, you can make tools from the bones & you could use the pelt for a hammock.”
“Oh yeah, I hadn’t thought of that.”

Change “Maori” to “White”, put it in Sth Africa and NZ’ers would have been marching against it, despite the fact it’s not even in our country.

Is there a special place where all the other students can meet? Just wondering it seems only fair to have a special place for the other ethnicities to meet in a safe space for them where they can meet in a warm very kind gathering place, or even a place each nationality can meet?????//////// FFS
I certainly would not call myself a prude but this sort of stuff doesn’t belong on a app for kids. They say it is for kids over 12 but if it is on a app, how do they control it ? It seems to have been around since 2021 —do I assume from that, that parents are happy with this sort of thing?

What happened to 16 being the age of consent? I’m no prude but come on, age appropriate IT IS NOT. This is disgusting.
looks like i got ripped off at school during sex ed, i had to fumble my way through that stuff on my own with zero tips and tricks.
to be fair tho a large chunk of kids are sexually active at 13/14 now anyways, its not right but its naive to think theyre all innocent and need protecting from this shit. theyve all got smartphones with porn, tic tok and slutty whore idols anyways.
I’ve definitely noticed a change in knowledge about matters sexual over the past six or seven decades IAASB. Not long into my first year at boarding school one of the prefects was discovered ‘in flagrante delicto’ halfway up the back passage of the (male) chapel organ player. Even though it was a religious college such behaviour was not to be tolerated & both were summarily expelled.
At assembly the following morning the Principal, a loquacious prick gifted with infinite stupidity, waxed long & eloquently about sin & “the beast with two backs”.
Not one person in the junior school had a fucking idea of what the silly old fool was banging on about.
Fair point with your 2nd para SB.
After being married for thirty years, a wife asked her husband to describe her.
He looked at her for a while, and then said, “You’re A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K.”
She asked, “What does that mean?”
He said, “Adorable, Beautiful, Cute, Delightful, Elegant, Foxy, Gorgeous, Hot.”
She smiled happily and said, “Oh, that’s so lovely. What about I, J, K?”
He said, “I’m Just Kidding!”
The job of Progressive Prosecutors to create the “virtuous cycle” ….. Yeah right, Humbug …. & this guy proved it was a step too far for even San Francisco.

Former SF DA Chesa Boudin Says Victims Don’t Have Rights
https://youtu.be/lir0yC8EDUk
6 mins 03 secs : Mar 25, 2024
Former [voter recalled] San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin says at a conference at Berkeley Law that victims don’t have rights under the Constitution.
So that defendants have the same rights as the victims, so the system should not cater for the victim.
That has been staring in our faces in New Zealand for a few decades now, but covered over by “lip service” like ‘victim impact reports’ & ‘victim support’, etc., that are ‘2 facedly’ allowed by the controlling authorities.
But the NZ “Cultural Reports” are to be actioned as if they are the ‘defendants rights’.
To see that, is to also see what is in practice in our systemic education in adjusting history & its values, that now many in professional elite class accept as the new normal, and flows deep into the systemic New Zealand Judiciary.

Result bridge is stuffed!
For those with an interest in kid’s education (your own kids or grandkids) then this interview –Paul Brennan with Tim O’Connor from Auckland Grammar is worth 20 minutes of your time. I knew the NZ education system is now a mess but I did not realise how bad it is. An example given –some schools cannot attract teachers to teach physics at a senior level. Some of the kids want to go on to University to do engineering, so they have teach themselves the physics ( or Chemistry) they need –not sure how they show the university they have met the entry requirements.
There is no uniform standard through out the country anymore.

Ol’ fruity farrar
He reminds me of the maori.
They can be one quarter or one eight maori but identify only with maoriness.
I note that farrar did a thing years ago about his ancestry and maybe a quarter jewishness but that is pretty much all he acknowledges now.
he has become increasingly left in recent years ( the jew thing. Politically he is fair and square Demonrat by US standards; stinky left New York jew by his postings; Diagnosis > 98.5% full on TDS )
10 years ago he seemed to display neutrality .
Now he is going more and more left by each quarter.
I’d say he will be unashamedly hard left (Bradbury country) in 3 or 4 years but likely go fully unhinged if Trump wins and is able to actually take the presidency in January 2025.
He is so out of tune with his readers I wonder why they bother, let alone fund this very lefty activity.
I have a glance in about twice a week to fruityblog. Less and less shit to bother with as time goes by. I generally have a bo peep to see by how much his readers disagree with his RINO shit.
I wonder if the missus is the one making him ‘come out’ with the pinko gig.
Clearly he has been a pinko a long time- Slater called him out years ago for this – but now it is shameless leftyness.
This one is interesting.
Normally there are some downticks on comments.
Often for Che Guava- whom I find valid and insightful -get downticked more than up; even when viable and logical.
This one where Fruity Farrar praises Grunter Robber sons valedictory speech is interesting.
Pretty much every comment – I glanced at 2/3 – is anti robbers son/farrar with zero downticks
eg 19-0; 23 -0; 14-0; 27-0; interesting
https://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2024/03/highlights_from_grants_valedictory.html
Read if you wish.
I can see farrar as being full-on in support of turning Russia into a jew-inspired communist state 1917 to 1924.
‘…10 years ago he seemed to display neutrality .
Now he is going more and more left by each quarter…’
So, about the time he got married… maybe the influence of his wife? Wouldn’t be the first person to seemingly change direction.
“ten years ago he displayed neutrality”
I remember him when he was in the young Nats and at party conferences was always supportive of things like Ministry of Wimmens Affairs and Treaty issues .
Never thought of him as a conservative then and certainly has that left bent now.
Even twelve years ago DPF identified with the wet left of the Nats & he’s been on a port tack ever since.
What I’ve never been able to understand is why his blog attracts authoritarian, hard right, religious fruitcases as commentators. Kowtow, Tony Stuart et al would be a better fit with Baity or Bob McCoskrie.
…religious fruitcases as commentators. Kowtow, Tony Stuart

Wow I feel so bad
I mean jeepers, China spied on NZ.
Oh this is terrible !!!!
gee wizz.
And China , wow they like, went into Tibet in the 1950s. Naughty China.
The US is so saintly.
They have only invaded Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan etc this century.
Interfered in the elections of more than 3/4 of South American, Central American and Caribbean countries.
Not merely ‘having a look’ but changing outcomes.
US drone bomb multiple countries like Somalia and Pakistan (an ‘ally’)
They have armed troops on Germany and Japan nearly a century after WW2.
In truth US does not want them spending 2% GDP on ‘defense’ . ergo why it is never enforced.
The US while illegally in Iranian waters in 1988 shot down Iran Air Flight 655 and killed 290 people and would not admit nor apologize…. but that is OK.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down by Ukraine by Ukrainians but hey, sticking with the fake narrative, lets blame Russia.
Always Russia BAD.
They have supplied weapons to Saudi to attack and murder Yemen people for years but when Yemen people push back ..ooh noes
Where really is Sergei and Yulia Skripal. What really happened ?
What has really happened to Kate Middleton.
The British goo-mint lie like bastards., Always have, always will, will always be duplicitous but hey Mother fkg England. Rule Britannia. (bit not over illegal immigrants)
And they never spy. Oh no.
Bit of a shame about the Cambridge Five, Old Chap; what ho!
The US is spying on you through you Google Android or Apple Cellphone (Yeah, they are) .
Why do you think they made sure Nokia and Canadian Blackberry (RIM) were killed off? Duh!
They can read your Gmail any day of the week.
They have been building profile on you through Xkeyscore for over a decade now.
This picks up your fakebook activity, linked in, Instagram and other computer activity.
You YSB login is tied to an email so your comments are linked.
Five eyes spies on you – you know for your safety.
This comment is being ID’d and linked to me.
Five eyes countries spy on each others citizens to circle around local privacy laws so it is all A..OK. She’ll be jake.
So imagine my concern that the Chinese goo-mint spied on the rotting scum in parliament in 2021 that were treating us like criminals and locking us in our homes, forcing us to take medical procedures or lose income.
the very people who told us to ‘be kind’ and the same ones who called us a River of Filth.
Saint Jizzinda, Saint Grunt, Saint Brylcreem, Saint 3 Pies.
Those bastard Chinese have been building schools and ports in the Pacific countries.
I’ve seen them, I can tell you. Its awful, these schools I saw in Vanuatu. Allowing education.
I’m just surprised the US has not bombed these by now ////
They sure curtailed the education in Libya where literacy for male and female was over 90% in this country where church was separated from State.
Well golly gosh, I will speak with my Chinese green grocer this very afternoon and ask her to convey my concerns… my very deep concerns to… the Government of China.

Summarised by Centrist
“We’re all getting, unfortunately, a little less intelligent at a whole population level,” says epidemiologist Professor Michael Baker. He’s responding to new research suggesting a steep decline in IQ scores among COVID infected individuals.
A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine indicates that even mild cases of COVID can result in deficits in memory retention, reasoning skills and cognitive planning.
Researchers at Imperial College London, examined the cognitive performance of approximately 113,000 individuals who had previously contracted the virus. Individuals who had experienced more severe COVID symptoms, requiring intensive care, exhibited an average decline of approximately nine IQ points.
Losing seven IQ points equates to a ten-year ageing effect.
Individuals with persistent symptoms, often associated with long COVID, demonstrated an IQ decrease of around six points, impacting daily functioning. Even individuals who had recovered and were no longer symptomatic showed a slight decline in IQ scores, approximately three points lower than those who had never been infected.
Baker describes the phenomenon of “brain fog” reported by many COVID patients, as a significant cognitive impairment affecting memory and complex thinking processes.
He notes that brain damage caused by COVID may be irreversible.
I see in the comments a number concerned at the “Centrist” publishing this.
If Centrist is intending to quote & publish “research” from THIS charletan and fellow Souxi Wild supporter of JA’s “Podium of Truth” BS
I have grave misgivings about their commitment to ionvestigative journalism and a commitment to balanced reporting and the truth
https://centrist.co.nz/new-research-reveals-covids-mind-numbing-impact-on-intelligence/
Good to see others are challenging the basis of that report.
Time will tell if this an interesting open discussion sort of news centre, or more controlled.
If the country is getting less intelligent we can thank twats like Michael Baker for leading the charge.
It’s not as though he’s got braincells to spare!
For years, WOKE crusaders have used bots, blackmail and social media swarms to undermine anyone right of them. When they get a little taste of it, klaxon cries of racism, hatespeech and antisemitism sound over the airwaves.
A group representing a Texas School fund, withdrew $8.5 billion from BlackRock, citing their dislike of Blackrocks ESG crusading. Blackrock are not happy. Hate for it to catch on.

Talk about moving the goalpost. French cities reconsider plans for low-emission zones after facing stiff opposition from citizens. The government (unconvincingly) justified the reversal of the reviled policies citing significant ”improvement” to air quality, making restrictions unnecessary.
The law mandated Low Emission Zones in all urban areas with over 150,000 inhabitants by the end of 2024, excluding the most polluting vehicles based on a national sticker system.
Most cities like Strasbourg and Marseille are now postponing implementation indefinitely due to concerns about the impact on low-income families and public resistance against what’s seen as an unworkable environmental mandate.
This decision is allegedly supported by an improvement in air quality (environmental groups aren’t convinced) but may (more likely) also be inspired by a desire to avoid sparking a Yellow Vest-like backlash among car users, particularly lower-income households. The vehicles of low-income families make up the majority of cars targeted by the low-emission scheme. However, France’s largest cities, Paris and Lyon, will still implement the proposed system.
Critics view this as a strategic decision ahead of European elections, aimed at appeasing disgruntled voters.

In a small town in B.C., Canada, copies of a book challenging narratives favourable to some Indigenous people (which, in itself, is considered racist by many in media and academia) were being distributed by the mayor’s wife. The mayor ultimately denounced her actions for the sake of political correctness.
The Quesnel city council unanimously voted to denounce the book “Grave Error: How the Media Misled Us (and the Truth about Residential Schools).” The book critically examines claims that lack solid evidence of mass graves of Indigenous children allegedly killed while attending residential schools.
Indigenous Residential Schools were run by the government and operated by churches from the 1880s through much of the 20th century.
Contributors say this is a free speech issue and there is a need to confront uncomfortable truths. Opponents view the book as hurtful and disrespectful to Indigenous communities and is offensive because it supposedly downplays the harms of residential schools.
Editor’s note: Political correctness prioritises Indigenous feelings over truth, branding challenges as “wrongthink.” Similarly, in New Zealand, politically correct narratives often cast European colonists as villains and Māori as heroes, despite nuanced truths.

A comprehensive analysis by Visual Capitalist and Derivation.co illustrates that almost half of the world’s more than 7,100 languages are considered “Endangered”. Some even face extinction, but not Te Reo Māori!
Currently, over 88 million people speak endangered languages. Approximately 100 languages are at risk of total extinction within decades if no action is taken.
The top four countries with the most endangered languages are Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Australia, and US Indigenous communities.
However, new AI tools are aiding in preserving endangered languages, while efforts to teach school children Te Reo Māori in New Zealand, and Hawaiian in the US, have shown success. ( But at what cost to taxpayers?)

https://www.1news.co.nz/2024/03/27/govt-should-pay-rates-like-everyone-else-auckland-mayor/
Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown has called for the Government to pay rates on its properties in the city, claiming the change would bring in more than $36m a year for New Zealand’s biggest city.
Government-owned properties in Tāmaki Makaurau included schools and hospitals. At the moment, the properties were exempt from rates. Auckland Council estimated the value of those rates at more than $36 million in 2023/24 values.
“Why should central Government get a free ride? They use our infrastructure but don’t pay the bill,” he said this morning, in a statement.
Other properties including airports, churches and port land were also exempt, he added, urging law reform around non-rateable land.
“Aucklanders are struggling to make ends meet,” Brown said. “Everyday Aucklanders are doing it tough.”
Brown said it was a case of fairness. “Aucklanders are being shortchanged. We put more into Treasury’s coffers than we get in return,” he said.
36 mill
that’s only a couple of speed bumps
$50 mill was wasted ‘looking at a cycle bridge CONCEPT’
Millions on a tramway to Mt Roskill that never happened
Millions and millions on cycle lanes that steal existing road and are hardly used
Brown has been a disappointment.
I never voted for him. I expected this.
He has pushed buses hard…. is all I hear.
They never look at cutting expenditure
His deputy – Dizzy Desley Simpson; married to Goodfellow, long term drone Chairman of the Gnats -was hand in hand with Phar Goff and never looked at cost reduction/curtailment nor value for money at any point.
With Brown still not looking at cost curtailment in any meaningful sense.
the pathetic City Rail link is years behind and Billions over budget.
There’s ya money leak.
Bring back the MOW.
This all transfers wealth away from the ratepayer to private hands, with shitty results like broken motorways from the time they open.
36 mill is pissing into a hurricane with Akl finances.
Get real Wayno!
Don’t like this one. Like his focus on cutting spending, but its only a matter of time before the minions put a price tag on the school oval, and sell it to developers. Somethings should be priceless.
Economic threats, in the era of cheap debt, are a joke. 95% of state projects over run on budgets. We need to get serious. When a project, like a state council, over-runs its budget, the funds reach a hard stop. A crisis. A liquidation point. Sell up the team and the project. The funds stop. The knee-jerk reaction has become a shrug, with a sheepish handing over of the state credit card, and a carefree promise that our grandkids might pay later.
Those in charge of funded project that blowout financially need to lose their jobs. The private sector wouldn’t stand for it, why should ratepayers.
Agree totally. Putting anything out to tender is totally purposeless if endless top-ups & over-runs are allowed.
If you are going ask them, what about the natives?
3 Very Unusual Things That Are Happening In The Heavens Right Now.
Within the past few days, so much has been happening in the heavens. There has been an enormous geomagnetic storm that has caused “a major disturbance in Earth’s magnetic field”, a comet that only comes around once every 71 years is racing through the inner solar system, and a lunar eclipse just painted the sky red over much of the planet. And of course we are just a couple of weeks away from the Great American Eclipse of 2024.

Just before the stroke of midnight, Congress pulls off a miracle and passes an omnibus bill to save us from a “government shutdown!”
The heroes have saved the day, adding another $1.2 Trillion of spending to the $34 Trillion debt load.!
It means that both parties embrace policies that are leading to our financial bankruptcy. This further threatens the dollar as the world’s reserve currency and will result in catastrophic changes worldwide that nearly no one in Congress seems capable of imagining. Republicans capitulating to Democrat demands to “save us” from a government shutdown may temporarily keep the appearance that “this is fine,” but in the end they are making the coming crash all the worse.

Seymour has not apologized wg.
Depends on how you see these points on making amends.
Though about a week before the election he did say that the Covid Inquiry should have some forum for the public to raise & put questions to be considered.
Sort of meant that he would not oppose Winston Peters, who earlier before the Wellington Protest was saying this & more if you want to read it all on his face book link.

David Seymour woke up belatedly by the polls, that he stuffed up, so put this in.
.
June 2023 ….. “Restricting public feedback to online submissions and some ‘invite-only’ forums and hui will only serve to further alienate sections of society who objected strongly to some elements of our Covid-19 response.
.
“One of the aims of the Inquiry should be to offer a voice to people who feel excluded and work to bring New Zealand together as a community.
ACT would like to see more inclusive, open public forums included as part of this exercise. ….
https://www.act.org.nz/covid_19_inquiry_needs_broader_public_input
.
Though I think the media did not allow much trumpeting by ACT on this also even though Seymour repeated it again.
.
“ 29 September, 2023 …. ACT will take the politics out of the Royal Commission into the Government’s Covid-19 response by allowing all New Zealanders to have their say on what should be investigated through a new crowdsourced terms of reference”, says ACT Leader David Seymour.

Those were the cards that were dealt of the pack, & what we have to play with as they have followed through. …

I do not trust them as far as I can throw them, so it remains to be seen, & can those issues that are raised;—- be swept under the carpet?
Certainly the point is to make the noise, message them, and keep their noses on the covidial grindstone.
Plus thanks to VFF, Reality Check Radio, Hatchard, NZDSOS, blogs, sharing, etc..
huh?
…..Though about a week before the election he did say that the Covid Inquiry should have some forum for the public to raise & put questions to be considered…

this is meaningless phrase

Can we take the idea that this [Baltimore bridge collapse] was a terrorist attack off the table … and absolutely we cannot do that,” President Trump’s former national security adviser (and retired lieutenant general) Michael Flynn told Alex Jones in an online interview.
Flynn called the container ship ramming the 1.6-mile-long bridge mile bridge at the Port of Baltimore a “black swan” event.
Meanwhile, the White House and federal government agencies have been quick to declare this was not a terror attack.
Maritime job Placement Company BalticShipping shows the captain of the container ship is a Ukranian.
It has now been confirmed that the only people on the bridge when it collapsed was a pothole repair crew. A total of eight workers were reportedly on a meal break when the cargo ship crashed into the bridge. The eight workers plunged off the 185-foot bridge into the frigid water. Two of the eight workers were rescued, one who was hospitalized and one who refused treatment. The six other workers are presumed dead.

Team Of Chinese Engineers Targeted By Suicide Bomber In Pakistan.
Separatist Islamic insurgents in Pakistan appear to be engaging in all-out war with the government and its Chinese partners who are building Belt and Road Initiative projects in the south Asian country. Beijing has been investing billions into Pakistan, but some regions are very high-risk in terms of the security situation.
After a string of attacks on locations hosting major Chinese infrastructure projects, there’s been a fresh suicide attack which killed five Chinese nationals Tuesday. A Pakistani driver was also killed when a suicide attacker crashed his explosive-laden vehicle into the group’s convoy, in northwest Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
The Chinese nationals were engineers on their way from the capital of Islamabad to Dasu, which is the location of a new hydroelectric dam being constructed by a Chinese company.

When wind turbines rotate, however, they generate not only electricity but also infrasound.
For Dr. Ursula Bellut-Staeck, this development represents “a huge problem for all forms of organisms,” including humans. The medical doctor and scientific author has been studying the health effects of infrasound for several years. She has been looking into infrasound as a stressor on the cellular level since 2015 and published a paper in 2023 on how infrasound affects microcirculation and endothelial cells.
Infrasound is defined as a sound wave with a frequency of less than 20 hertz (Hz). The lower the frequency of the sound, the greater its wavelength and the harder it is to shield from it. Infrasound can penetrate walls, people, and animals.
Today’s wind turbines reach frequencies as low as 0.25 Hz. The wavelength of this frequency is just under 0.86 miles.
Reported adverse effects of industrial wind turbines include weakness, dizziness, headaches, concentration and memory issues, ear pressure, cardiac arrhythmia, and sleep disorders, according to research cited in Canadian Family Physician.
