Good morning. It’s rather quiet here, with some of the usual suspects missing.
Speaking of missing – Mr M. Hunty is conspicuous by his absence. Has he failed to bribe the Thai police adequately?

Mr. Bear and Mr. Rabbit live in the same forest, but they don’t like each other.
One day, they come across a golden frog who offers them three wishes each.
Mr. Bear wishes that all the other bears in the forest were female. Mr. Rabbit wishes for a crash helmet.
Mr. Bear’s second wish is that all the bears in the neighboring forests were female as well. Mr. Rabbit wishes for a motorcycle.
Mr. Bear’s final wish is that all the other bears in the world were female, leaving him the only male bear in the world.
Mr. Rabbit revs the engine of his motorcycle and says, “I wish that Mr. Bear was gay!” and rides off.

There was the Novapay debacle more than 10 years ago.
Notional were in goo-mint.
A fundamental issue is that holiday pay has been made complex in ao tear zooland.
They did nothing then in fundamentals to fix it.
Stevie Joyce of course as the Chief Munter in munting about and no fkg solution from him as usual.
To say they will ‘take decisions’ about it in the next 100 days sounds disingenuous when they were in the midst of a problem in the second term (2008 to 2017) with 5 more years to fix it
……they did Nothing.
Johnny keys ‘first, do NO Good’ policy in action.
1. Deliver a budget that reduces wasteful spending while investing in front-line services like health, education and police.
————————–
that is always cute political mantra but actually delivering is harder.
You need to create conditions in which people want to work, in NZ, in these front line roles.
Income, annual leave, uniforms, decent hierarchy above.
Eg Dept of Education has been stuffed jobsworths, commies, and ne’er-do-wells for over half a century.
It is an anti-man toxic environment for over 30 years and jumps on every new marxist trend that pops like a pimple eg trannie shit .
what in the hell does “take decisions” actually mean in political weasel waffle?
also note the green streak shining through with renewables… no doubt that means hundreds of millions in “incentives” to scam green energy companies
37. Get the BITCH Ardern well away from any role in any function in any regard that could be assumed to be a representative of this Government or this Country.
‘Take decisions’ that will see planned immigration including a limited number instead of the current settings that allow for ‘skilled workers’ and students to abuse the system and become kiwis which they never will be.
Set popul;ation at 5.2 Millionuntil 1/1/2026.
Yea that forgot that bit.
Stop paying the bitch as well.
Prosecute her and her mothers littler helpers for avoiding the law and imposing tyranny on our populations.
But will they Of course not as that would mean they were complicit in by thier silence.
I’m from the government and I’m here to help!
Oh god, I hope not!
Pay students to attend school.
Down to what age?
Bring back truant officers with some clout more like it. Paying students to attend school pfft. Ridiculous notion. Imagine trying to work it all out for the staff?????
Truant children – 1st week parents benefits suspended for two weeks, 2nd week parents benefits suspneded for a month. children with attendence of less than 80% without demosntrable reason like ill health benefits suspended for a year and not restored until child is 90% attanding for 3 months.
You mean they want to be paid too?
More yackity yack, “action plans and time frames”.
PM’s ‘very meaningful’ new 36-point list of priorities
https://www.1news.co.nz/2024/04/02/pms-very-meaningful-new-36-point-list-of-priorities/
“Just like our 100-Day Plan, this next action plan is focused on three key areas to make life better for Kiwis,” Luxon said. The first is “rebuilding the economy and easing the cost of living”, the second is “restoring law and order” and the third is “delivering better public services”, he said
The new plan
“Having a clear plan with specific actions and timeframes for delivery creates momentum and drives focus,” Luxon said in a statement announcing the 39-point programme.
“New Zealanders expect and deserve delivery from their government, and that is exactly what they are getting from us.”
Speaking to Breakfast this morning, he said the new set of actions was focused on tackling big decisions.
“I want to break them down and actually put the decisions into quarters,” he said.
“So it’s important that, every quarter, we’re moving things forward.”
There’s “massive alignment” between the three coalition parties – National, David Seymour’s ACT and Winston Peters’ New Zealand First – over the core issues, he added.
It does sound much like a gob spew from Hipkins but lets be fair and give Luxflakes time to deliver before we write him off.
I can say this type of management of whats to do will win lots of freinds.
Get lots of results. There is a lot more to add to the list.
Dear Deidre,
I’ve been identifying as a woman for six months now and my periods still haven’t started.
Is there something wrong with me?
Hmm, Looks like you need to embrace the faith with more vigour. Just identifying as a woman won’t cut it. You need to give your whole body and soul to the cause, really, really believe or else, nothing. Bit like the reborn Christians and their healings.. If the healing didn’t happen, there wasn’t enough faith…. I can assist in this real, powerful faith conversion, for a small fee of course. Just don’t tell the Pope, he disapproves of these “on the side” offerings not sanctioned by the One, True, Holy Church etc etc.. .
When one ‘transitions’ at 64 years of age not only no periods but one skips man-opause!
Ask Bruce Jenner, former Olympic Decathlon gold medalist, for more.
He got the ‘drive like a woman’ part correct, though.

Mmmmm. There is no women’s decathlon, only pentathlon.
Dear Bob,
Looking at your pic, I’d say you’re well into your menopause.

If the Justice Minister, Paul Goldsmith in early February instructed the Law Commission to immediately cease work on Hate Speech Laws and as there are no current “Hate Speech Laws” for which Plod can charge Brian Tamaki’s Mob, which Plod said they would be working towards following Brian’s lot, righting what most people see as an an attack by Local Government on the Nuclear family.
I see now, the Moozies are now upset with Paul Goldsmith.
My question is, why do Moozies always think it is about them?
The are neither a race nor an ethnicity, they are an ideology. It is as simple as that.

The slimes can integrate dress, talk act like the rest of NZ and they will have no issue of hate speech, dont integrate then consider going to any slime shithole and be happy, perhaps we shoul;d start give a lot page to help those who want to leave NZ permananetly with a one way ticket and a few $’s.

Notice how the muslims are now starting to flex their muscles and exert ‘control’ over things.
They have form for this and only start doing-so when they constitute over 2% of the population and feel confident that they can ‘get away with it’.
It’s been tried before so if you want to see the end-result of this just , look at most European countries.
It will be interesting to see how luxflakes deals with it; I suspect that eh will ‘cave’ which is exactly what the muslims want as it will be seen by them as a ‘victory’ and embolden them further.
Rough times would seem to be ahead as a result.
would be hilarious cuz muslim hatred and intolerance to gays etc would be targeted more then anti muslim stuff.
be an epic own goal
Because mostly it is even if not identified as so.
Them and the entitled people fo the land.
“Take decisions” does not inspire confidence. As for ” measures to increase investment in renewable electricity generation” – they are still addicted to the Net Zero delusion.
TO be fair what alternatives to fossil fuels are there that are practical, economic and acceptaable, even some renewables like Hydro are problematic.
The State of Mississippi has just issued cease and desist notices to Blackrock over the ESG priorities saying that their job is to make money for investors such as the state and not drive social objectives.
Gunna be fun to watch.
I think I posted that yesterday. No time to check but you can probably find it on the Epoc times or the Mississippi rags.
Yes you did post it yesterday. Blackrock making unsubstantiated investment claims for those looking to make a beneficial return. The start of other states following suit hopefully.

I see that the Baltimore bridge has started to removed!
Just drove through the Brynderwyns – the road is open for Easter. I can’t believe I’m saying this but they have done a massive amount of work and shifted heaps of dirt. Something has definitely changed in the road works department, it’s almost like they’re trying to outdo the Coromandel road. The other funny thing was the traffic was flowing quickly and easily – no cone truck loads of over weight early settlers doing everything they can to slow things down. Congratulations NZTA you’ve finally got it right.

That taste of efficiency was only a teaser. By Saturday they’ll be back to their moving road block, hindrance at all costs approach to traffic management.
WTF.
A machete-wielding man allegedly entered a Wairarapa emergency department, asked a receptionist where a patient was being treated then viciously attacked a man with the weapon.
It is understood the victim suffered a severe laceration to his head and a fractured skull following the machete attack, requiring emergency surgery.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/513163/midnight-machete-attack-at-wairarapa-hospital-ed-leaves-man-with-severe-head-laceration-and-skull-fracture-concerns-over-security
As can be expected that is the lead story in this morning’s edition of Pravda, formerly known as the Wairarapa Times-Age.
“Police said that the victim & assailant were known to each other”.
We don’t piss around in the Wairarapa nowadays. None of this poofy settling of domestics with a couple of clouts around the ear. The assault serves as yet another example of the blessings & rich rewards that vibrant multicuturalism brings!
An ancient traditional taonga used to inflict utu. ////
Wonder if it was on the machete register, or was the serial number removed.
Pretty considerate really – saved us paying for an ambo.
Had a long conversation with a Contact person this morning.
Had received a letter about cutting my power off after being congratulated on becoming a ‘new’ customer after 30 years.
Maintained my cool as we discussed issues that always came back to the ‘process’.
We had to follow ‘the process’.
I asked about low user rates and she said that wasn’t available in my area. I asked why do some have availability and some don’t. That’s the system but it’s been changed now.
She reminded me of that CEO in the Mr Bates story last night. I asked her if she had watched the programme and she said no.
May be the whole power system needs ‘decisions ‘ to be made about it.
I want to get power produced from hydro only so that price is not distorted or subsidised by solar or wind.
You are right wiseowl —these bureaucratic corporates are the same the world over. If something really hits the fan with the Covid inquiry (more likely to happen in Aussie than NZ) we will see exactly the same rear end covering and lying that was shown in the Mr Bates story and no one will be held accountable, just like in that appalling situation.
I had a brief conversation with a guy from the UK, this morning, who is over on holiday. He said the Government and the Post Office said what they are doing now for those affected has nothing to do with the doco/drama , but he said everyone in the UK knows that is BS.
It is a shame that the number who were wrongly sent to prison was not highlighted more in the story —- the figure of 239 or was it 293, only showed up on screen at the end
“He said the Government and the Post Office said what they are doing now for those affected has nothing to do with the doco/drama”
Your conversationalist is talking a load of Bollocks, Rossco.

Biden has dementia, forgetful and meandering stories. This morning I went to visit my dear old mum, 92 up at the hospital rehabilitation ward after she fell and banged her head. She is okay but not yet allowed to go back to the old peoples village. Her dementia is as obvious as that old man in the large white house on Pennsylvania Ave.
“As Ian Miller noted on X (@ianmSC):
“It’s hard to figure out which possibility is funnier here — that he has no idea what’s being said under his name in proclamations and public posts, or that he’s already forgotten what happened literally yesterday.”
‘Funnier’ or ‘scarier’?
My eldest brother has dementia – I feel he basically has a three hour current memory – With all the things Biden has put in front of him to sign I would suggest he has forgotten already as it wouldn’t be important to him.
Hooker Phil’s comment referencing dementia & its effects is pertinent.
One of the obstacles that life’s path throws up for me from time to time is the renewal of my driver’s license when I turn 75 later this year. I found out, through a mate who has had to jump through the hoops recently, that along with the expected medical comes a test to see if enough of us old codgers’ marbles line up that we’re not an undue risk to other road users.
Fair enough except that our local quackery, along with many others it seems, have decided that the appropriate test should be one used for dementia. eg https://www.nzdementia.org/Portals/0/LiveForms/785/Files/M-ACE%20NZ%20Version%20A.pdf?ver=2020-08-25-092545-193
My mate was blindsided with this & by his own admittance only just scraped a pass. So did one of my granddaughters who at 27YO wasn’t quite as cocky after I gave her the test as above. There are other similar tests but the point is that dementia tests are looking for memory lapses which have little to do with the problem solving & information processing involved in driving a vehicle.
This wasn’t unnoticed by a neuroscientist, one Kerry Spackman, quoted in an article in the Herald last week. He opines that “it would be a bit like giving someone a music test to see if they are good at playing tennis”. Refer: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/neuroscientist-criticises-cognitive-tests-given-to-senior-drivers-outrageous-doctors-use-them/G6QBDANH7JE7XJ4GYFEW6MB3VA/
If any of this blog’s readers or their friends/family members are going to be renewing their license in the foreseeable future be warned of the latest brainfart from the medical profession who increasingly regard us as useless eaters.
I had to do the test when I turned 75 last year. It was a breeze for this old stoner. You’ll have nothing to worry about nasska.
Disclaimer: they may use a different test in your neck of the woods.
Been there done that, and would never go to that particular dr again, It was at the practice that I normally go to. I couldn’t get into my usual doctor as she was booked up for weeks!!!!!!!!!! Not only was I given the memory test by a nurse, then I had to go to the dr who made me do squats!!!!! And cost me $90. No one I know was made to do squats. It was a pass for me, or I have no idea what I would have done as driving is very important to me to get about. It’s just another bureaucracy get ya. system that is horrid.

Oregon’s Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek on Monday signed into law a bill that recriminalizes the possession of small amounts of drugs, ending a first-in-the-nation experiment with decriminalization that was hobbled by implementation issues.
The new law rolls back a 2020 voter-approved measure by making so-called personal use possession a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail. It also establishes ways for treatment to be offered as an alternative to criminal penalties by encouraging law enforcement agencies to create deflection programs that would divert people to addiction and mental health services instead of the criminal justice system.

https://www.1news.co.nz/2024/04/02/man-has-refugee-status-revoked-after-unfounded-persecution-claims/
A man who had his refugee status revoked has been accused of helping others make fraudulent asylum claims and offering to sponsor a woman’s visa through a fake marriage.
The 37-year-old returned to China six times after claiming he was at risk of persecution there — the first just weeks after he was told he could settle here.
But two months after getting permanent residence he returned to China and stayed seven weeks.
In 2019, he was convicted of assault with intent to injure and threatening to kill or commit grievous bodily harm and has since been charged with receiving stolen property.
“In 2018 and 2019, the Refugee Status Unit became concerned that [he] may have been facilitating fraudulent refugee claims after he had been observed visiting the Unit’s office on a regular basis and taking multiple blank claim forms,” it said in its decision.
Shit he’s bloody lucky labour got chucked out of power!

Inside OpenStar’s ambitious attempt to build a nuclear fusion reactor in New Zealand
Unlike traditional nuclear fission, which splits atoms apart, fusion combines them together. The process has multiple benefits: it does not produce the same hazardous waste, primarily uses a fuel derived from seawater, cannot cause a meltdown and does not facilitate the creation of nuclear weapons.
While there are plenty of upsides, they come with a catch.
“One of the reasons why it’s safe is related to the reason it’s so hard,” OpenStar CEO Ratu Mataira told Newshub.
“We have to get this plasma insanely hot to do anything. It’s a very small amount of something at very high temperatures… basically if anything goes wrong, it just cools down immediately.”
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/technology/2024/04/inside-openstar-s-ambitious-attempt-to-build-a-nuclear-fusion-reactor-in-new-zealand.html
Umm or blows the fuck out of everything… and we become a twin star with the sun…..
From BN’s link:
…….””Being able to have energy independence, being able to produce energy anywhere, not just because it comes out of the ground somewhere. I think it will fundamentally restructure society.” “…….
That would be the understatement of the century. The political ramifications defy imagination.
The Yanks would blow up the world before they relaxed their grip on Earth’s energy.
Nuclear Fusion has been just around the corner for decades now.

After the Beslan school siege of Sept 2004 a militant Muslim in Russia has a very limited life expectancy. Russia will not forget the atrocity committed on its children & has no reasons to forgive the arseholes responsible for the latest attack.

nasska, in my boredom driving last week i listened to a doco on that incident. russian incompetence were responsible for many of those deaths but then if they hadnt have got trigger happy the muslims wouldve done it anyways as they really didnt have any way out except meeting allah.
There’s no doubt that the Russians could have handled it better as the death toll was very high. Still, by the third day without food or water I doubt that many of the kids would have lasted the course of another day’s negotiations.
I’m glad it’s not me who has to make decisions like that.

Of course Fox is here married name. Perhaps use her maiden name – Smith
I’m sure even we whities could pronounce that 🙂
To date it seems that we’ve been spared that particular humiliation. In fact I’m not certain that she’s still around.
Marama’s last public appearances of note were in Dancing with the Stars & pissed in charge of a vehicle both in 2018. The shame & ignominy may have finally got to her. 🙂
Bro taking the trash out.

Hi. Been away. I see no-one has pissed Ed off and we still have a great place to express our thoughts complaints, frustrations and have a bit of a laugh along the way. Still pissed that NZTSOS lost the High Court challenge.
Glad you’re back rol, it’s been quiet with the country otherwise engaged stuffing itself with hot x buns and Easter eggs.
Hope you had fun.
Especially stuffing myself with buns and Easter Eggs. Buggered off North to do a bit of camping and basically forgot the world existed for a while.
Good to see you back RoL. I thought that you may have been recalled to the Vatican for consultations. 🙂
Nah, just lengthy Easter celebrations using pagan symbols.

I was going to post a link to my preferred Bunnies, The Playboy ones, but I don’t want to invoke the ire of those not amused by these things….
Do you why they lost their appeal rol? Was it still because their lawyer took the wrong approach compared, to the Defence force case approach?
Not sure on the details, but when I have read the judgement I might have a clue. The whole thing hinged on the right of government to override freedom of choice with respect to medical interventions. Too complicated for my small brain that only understands palaeoclimatology. However, the judges still think the vax is safe…..
It was the same lawyer as the NZdefence case, , so that should not have been an issue

I knew it – plumbing issues.
I saw an article on X this morning talking about products now containing 15 – 20 % insect proteins especially in confectionery. Cricket flour is added to almost every flour based food. Couldn’t find the article again but found this, from 2021.

You may be over the target, but No cigar.
Is cricket meal declared on the label, or using some fancy code number or whatever?
If now why not?

Another source suggests that “insect protein” or “sustainable protein source.” or a listing under “potential allergens” are warning signals.

Damn. I’ll try to retrieve it by other means. Cheers S1.
