Subject: Passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense
* Obituary printed in the London
Times…..Absolutely Brilliant!!t*
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has
been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since
his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be
remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
– Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
– Why the early bird gets the worm;
– Life isn’t always fair;
– And maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more
than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in
charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but
overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy
charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended
from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for
reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job
that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly
children. It declined even further when schools were required to get
parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but
could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have
an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and
criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a
beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your own home
and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the
will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee
was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge
settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death,
-by his parents, Truth and Trust,
-by his wife, Discretion,
-by his daughter, Responsibility,
-and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 5 stepchildren;
– I Know My Rights,
– I Want It Now,
– Someone Else Is to Blame,
– I’m A Victim,
– Pay me for Doing Nothing.
Not many attended his funeral because, so few realized he was gone. If you
still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.
The one glaring example this news of Jacinda massive slide in popularity say is the people have never rated another MP as capable of doing the the other lack the necessary skills without Jacinda leading them. Our latest Newshub- Reid Research Poll shows just howteid Arderns popularity isto Labour- her preferred Prime Ministers plummet is almost identical to the slide Labour has taken.https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/10/opinion-jacinda-ardern-will-be-hurting-over-lost-popularity.html
The Red/Black/Green Government has a different problem on it’s hands how to disentangle themselves in Election Year without scoring any own goals and damaging the Governments potential to work together again.
Now that Cindy has been handed her skinny rear end on a plate wait for an avalanche of good news stories featuring her.
She will be so pissed off to crash in the polls……. Didums…
Have Tova and Cindy fallen out? Has the PTPM been pissing off the minions around Parliament? Her popularity with the general public has dissipated so I imagine those working closely with her would have seen what was hidden by the glitter much earlier than the general voter.
Someone asked over at KB, “is this the biggest slide ever!”
Labour and COL shitstorm Sooty!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrS4yJt3rho
Nelson’s HA HA is the perfect “in your face sucka!”
Her blind supporters still think she’s some kind of Wizard of Oz. She’s just that- a huge phony. Fingers crossed NZ first and especially the greens get no where near 5 %, and labour keeps taking a dump. Dream Govt- National & Act rule ALL. The screams from the limp-wristed will be like the sweetest honey I’d ever tasted 🙂
If you were Japanese and a rugby fan wouldn’t it have made you proud to shove it up Scotland last night the way they did on the field not in the courts like Scotland threatened to do if the game was canceled.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=12276167
Well done Japan you deserve all the accolades you get and may you go further at this World Cup
Rubbish, even the captain of Japan is not Japanese.
And what a stupid name Brave Blossoms!
Is any different to DigNap15
Japan wanted to use my name the DigNap15 Japanese rubgy team.
But I told them the name was copywrite.
But they will be HappyChapppies right now
Just to get point across who hasn’t got Foreign Players and is there a nationality that you do like.
One or two foreigners is OK, but over 50% is a joke!
In terms of the top 5:
Even NZ has 4 foreign born players. In general residency or ancestry is the pathway for these countries. You can have a full look here, which tells you how long the players have been living in their new country.
..and Labour is a pretty stoopid name for a political pardy that does not work or give birth to anything fruitful!
Your point.
Fluctuations, Sir, fluctuations.
As regards this government. Isn’t the COL just between Labour and NZF and the Greens did not wanat to be in, so they just gave confidence and supply.
So if NZF are were, does that affect things?
That’s why James Shaw,Julie Ann Genter and Sage are ministers inside Cabinet maybe you should ask your mate Winston.
Happy – isn’t that Ministers outside cabinet?
Seat warmers!
You are right pdm but the stupid part of it is they attend Cabinet meeting’s and to keep Winston happy.
I don’t think Winston is happy being in the same room as the (red) Greens.
He despises them more than Labour Lite- and that is a whole lot of spite to begin with.
Great poll on Newshub
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/shows/2019/10/poll-who-do-you-think-will-be-prime-minister-after-the-next-election.htm
Simon on 46%
Here’s another link (they have sort of hidden the poll away
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/shows/2019/10/poll-who-do-you-think-will-be-prime-minister-after-the-next-election.html
But Simon is now on 48%
Deliberately hidden I reckon.
Yes, it does seem to be Hidden, but I checked now and Simon is up to 49% and Ardern down to 33%
Sweet cheeks on zero!
edit.
Public Servants will be turning on their computors as we speak, so that will change!
I want see her “well being” crap shoved right in their loser faces next year. Hmmm, a hysterical, crying Genter and angry, ranting old fart on their way out the door for good would be such a delightful spectacle.
On the plus side, they’re not deleting the poll like before.
Like Stuff does. If they even allow comments, as soon as they aren’t Leftie and pro- JA it vanishes. Must really piss ’em off knowing that, yes, people like us are alive and well, and Vote too!
9am, 51% say Bridges
10am, 49% say Bridges.
Civil servants must have started arriving at work.
I still voted for Judith, it was hard as an extra vote would help Simon out to beat Cindy bin Crying, but!
Have the Labour led Coalition got the expertise needed to get NZ through a depression and is Grant Robertson capable of weathering the storm.
https://www.ft.com/content/0d585c88-ebfc-11e9-aefb-a946d2463e4b
Better still have Labour got the team and leader to whether the storm as I can’t see a John Key or Bill English amongst a very poor lot of MP’s and Winston still demanding his 3 billion slush fund.
It’s ok. Robertson and the COL are only going to lead the country into recession. They will leave it to someone else to get us out of the deep black hole they are digging.
That is the way of the left since – forever.
Even Helen and call me “Sir” Cunt Cullen”
Is Venezuela going to be voted onto the UN Human Rights Council? and supported by NZ friendly “comrade” waving the red flag.
So now 3 states are vying for 2 Latin American seats.
To defeat the criminal Maduro regime, we are calling on all countries on Oct. 17 to vote for Costa Rica, Brazil
https://unwatch.org/report-abuser-states-set-to-win-top-u-n-rights-posts/
It must be asked,who are NZ lobbying and voting for?
Make it an issue for the “comrade”!
Get her to declare her position and why?
A red flag to shove up her!
Don’t use block quotes,
Ok sorry,
Not for us to rally around , just saw as a red flag to shove up Ardern, to be hoisted by her own “comrade” petard.
So will go back to as previous using italics and bold only.
Still must get an answer from Ardern to what direction has been given to NZ diplomats staff at the UN.
Maybe raise with some radio/tv interviewers and of course more blogs.
Quite happily cease and desist in raising that garish red flag banner as it should follow that sock for best effect.
if commentors can bitch about my having links in red, they obviously don’t want any red showing.
NZ probably does not get a vote in the region, but still good to question the “comrade” about fellow “comrades” and the “success” of Venezuela.
Just add to the pressure and stress, and foot may enter mouth. ….
Most latino countries are run by Castro type wannabes over and over again, and the people just keep believing the same “revolutionary” shit. Venezuela, so recently adored by lefties all over the world, has eaten itself to bankruptcy. This is exactly what would happen to NZ if they had the power they desperately crave long enough.
To think some fuckwit like Maduro would get anywhere near such a thing as a human rights committee speaks volumes about the integrity of the entire shittery the UN is.
I see Sir Roger Douglas says if companies did their books like the government does they’d all be in. jail. Interesting as he thinks the deficit would/should be 30 billion. Even worse than Steven Joyce predicted.
I think Roger Douglas was indigenous to thrown in that red herring.He should have just concentrated on the figuires as they were presented.
When was the last time accrual accounting was used in those figures?
I meant to say disengenous
A Medical University Professor was giving a lecture on “Involuntary Muscular Contractions” to his first year medical students.
Realizing that this was not the most exciting topic, the professor try to lighten the mood slightly.
He pointed to a beautiful girl in the class and said, “Do you know what your ass hole is doing while you make love?”
She replied, : He’s probably fishing or sitting at a bar with his friends.
What’s going on?
Police investigating reported threat near Auckland Airport
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2019/10/police-investigating-reported-threat-near-auckland-airport.html
“Roads near Auckland Airport have been blocked off, flights temporarily suspended and hundreds of staff evacuated as police investigate a reported threat.”
Extinction Rebellion will claim responsibility. No doubt they have some hair-brained scheme of blowing up bits of the runways or something.
It was a bomb threat from a person at 6.30am this morning ,any bet Paddy Gower and Matt Nippet will be there trying to pin it on White Supremacists.
Duncan Garner: Labour Government is big on talk with little to show for it
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/10/duncan-garner-labour-government-is-big-on-talk-with-little-to-show-for-it.html
“Most of their policies have lasted as long as a sparkler on a wet Guy Fawkes Night and that’s actually being very kind to them.”
Yesss! Give ’em both barrels Garner. Oh what fun it is and will continue to be watching their further descent into political hell and irrelevancy. Up and coming- the Col gets real bitchy and start to eat their own. Hee hee!
The beginnings of seeking control of the community.
First a Jewish boy was forced to kiss the foot of a Muslim bully.
Then another Muslim student sent him threats and abuse.
Is the National Imams Council right: that the media should not have mentioned that the bully was Muslim?
From The Bolt Report.
https://www.heraldsun.com.au/blogs/andrew-bolt/muslim-student-gets-jewish-boy-to-kiss-his-foot-is-antisemitism-on-the-rise/news-story/a5e1ff268e0cdc97cfa3840cbb2bf4e6
6m 7sec,
Bullying? Censorship?
So who are the bad apples? muslims? jews? infidels? media? in Australia.
Seems like a race to become a victim, and to gain censorship.
So the imams want it quiet
Is it part of that the perpetrator’s religion should not be published because it will make “white supremacists, react against innocent muslims and cause racist violence?
Is that what they mean?
That makes life difficult for muslims as there is a ‘backlash’?
Yet if a muslim had to lick the boots, and there was death threats, then the name of muslim would be shouted high, so the picture of racism and claims of victim-hood would be incessant, and every one else shamed to agree by those imams with media pontificating ‘talking heads’.
fuck last nights poll was glorious.
the 3 poll always has labour about 5 points higher than they should be and national lower.
and the shit heads poll at the best time to get chompers a result
and still she shat the bed hahaha
i actually turned on 3 news for the first time in a year or 3.
tova “can i please come to the wedding” is talking us through it. fuck me, how she keeps a job is beyond me.
how any of these left wing losers keep their jobs is beyond me. isnt there a board somewhere running these companies? a board whos job is to maximise shareholder returns?
Can hardly wait to see the other poll on TV1 tonight.
Labour might offer tax cuts if the polls are tight – Newshub political editor Tova O’Brien
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/10/labour-might-offer-tax-cuts-if-the-polls-are-tight-newshub-political-editor-tova-o-brien.html
I am sure I heard her say “we” at one stage, as if she was part of Labour!
You mean she’s not!
Well bugger me!
This will be a double-edged sword for labour- try and kiss some middle class butt right before the election, and at the same time their base will scream “but the money should be given to WINZ oh how cruel wah wah wah” and they instantly alienate a significant amount of their dumb base. The middle class doesn’t want a lolly scramble- most will see straight through JA’s teeth on that one.
Lord I hope so. I see some naive voters are still clinging to their messiah Winston’s coat tails with a 1.2% increase in the polls for the narcissistic troll.
I thought Simon Wilson was the leading love struck Jacinda fan but after getting a look at the David Cormack Column this morning there can be no doubts that he is leading a bad lot of scribes.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12276204
Fuck Jacinda is the only one that doesn’t make mistakes in the Labour Government according to David Cormack.
And bribe us with our own money? What an arrogant bunch of cnuts..and that also goes for any politician or party that thinks that some of us are dumb enough to fall for that one.
Foxton in lock down as Police hunt a gunman after a person is shot.
Another registered gun!
Just go around the corner and hire one off the gang for a short time. Wonder if they deliver!
Uber Firearms!
Have you seen Branton Jones the mouth from the North firing an AR15 in Asia last week! His missus posted him firing! I wonder who if the taxpayer paid for that trip?
There’s one thing I like about Shane. He doesn’t even bother hiding the contempt he has for PriNZess.
I want to see what he had for a target!
Cindys photo?
The cabinet manual?
The COL agreement?
I wonder who paid the NZ protesters. It does not surprise me payments were made –it was the ultimate “rent a crowd”. Dave Mann’s questions on the climate thread above have to asked again.
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/10/13/extinction-rebellion-members-paid-400-per-week-to-shut-down-britain/
As mentioned yesterday on hys.
So the financial infrastructure is being put together.
How much is funneled in NZ?
Are parts of it government sourced like “NZ on Air”?
….. raising money from crowdfunding, major donors, NGOs, trusts and foundations. ….
….. Although, the group insists on having a policy of financial transparency, they say they do so “without compromising the privacy of individuals”.
Their donation policy explains: “We have a policy of openness, and the names of those who donate over £5,000 are made available unless there is a particular reason for a request for them to be anonymous.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10085168/extinction-rebellion-funds-group-founders/
Yeah right, keep the big names, shake downs, and their links quiet through a blur of ngo’s, foundations, sponsors, “work paid” voluntarism, etc. with access into government top up troughs as well.
Would full on auditing get to the bottom of it?
As often said “follow the money” or how they angle into the government, departments, councils, to rip it off you, particularly in extorting and demanding with menaces.
The system will be as bad as the politician’s donations cover up systems.
Don’t miss the video attached with James Delingpole interviewing the XR lot.
As for XR being paid, doesn’t payment to protest undermine their apparent commitment to “save the planet”. Especially with XR not paying any tax on donations received. Are the protesters paying tax on the payments they are receiving for attendance? The public will write the protesters off for being there for the money. Being disruptive and closing down city streets and stopping the public going about their daily business will wear thin very quickly.
I’d say one of them is going to get a serious beating sooner or later. Any wagers? Hey- speaking of which, how about the car thief in Auckland yesterday who was bludgeoned by the owner when he got caught? Critical condition! That calls for a Nelson “HA HA!”
Pathetic (but paid!) losers. As far as “willing to be arrested if that’s what it takes”, I’m sort of wondering what effect that could have when these dipshits want to cross a border. Many countries won’t even give you a visitor’s visa if you’ve got a police record. Too bad i guess!
I’m a it worried about the next election
Looking at the local body elections
Many left wing and green candidates won.
Auckland, Dunedin
And Lester in Wellington only got booted out by a small margin.
Considering all the bad news with Genter and the anti roading policies.
No worries Dignap, bugger all will change at Local Govt level. I’m waiting for the first time some hair-brained Councillor or mayor signs on the dotted line in the name of f*cking climate change, a whole heap of primo, multi-million dollar subdivisions instantly lose their real estate value, and lawyers come out with BIG knives for the bureaucrats. Ratepayer gets shafted in the name of the false god climate change, and sanity returns to the community. (with less $$$) Watch this space.

Hi
We are going to have a YSB members meet up in Tauranga on Thursday afternoon at 3pm at Lonestar pub on the Strand.
Don the Kiwi and I will be there.
I will be wearing my MAGA red hat.
All YSM members welcome and I’ll buy you all a beer.
Order me a shot of Jameson and a Steinlager on tap to chase it down please 🙂 would love to be there to meet some of you guys.
I’ll have the same.
Doubt I can make it. Maybe next time. 🍹
I cant make it, business calls unfortunately, but I am sure there will be other times.
Cheers
YSM? You stupid man? 😉
That’s his out for paying for the drinks. Only free for YSM members. 😁
Cliff Clavin’s Theories on Beer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6GTZrcoWEM
Oh Yeah -I’ll be there.
Diggy’s MAGA hat will be the beacon to guide us all.
Look forward to meeting new like minded mates – (and matesses, if any are out there) 😉
Terrorist and extremist online content to be treated like child sexual exploitation material
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/10/terrorist-and-extremist-online-content-to-be-treated-like-child-sexual-exploitation-material.html
Is this policy on the back of Ardern’s “Christchurch Call” an attempt to build the polls for Labour? She looks and sounds anxious on the video, and her hair tied up severely like that doesn’t do anything to improve the look.
Yes, the bobby head and the two love bites on the middle of the neck. Whatever.
She’s pathetic. Man her anxiety must be redlining right now..”Pills, bring me pills FFS”!
The Pope is too woke.
Looks like trying to promote a Christianity and Muslim combo called Chrislam is too much.
What a plonker!!
POPE FRANCIS is facing a potential religious coup from within the Catholic Church, but there is also an emerging threat from outside the Vatican as Italian populist Matteo Salvini sets his sights on the progressive Pope.
Pope Francis on brink: Threat from Salvini against Vatican leader exposed
https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1189961/christian-news-pope-francis-threat-salvini-vatican-Italy-spt
Such a shocking and disappointing Pope in comparison to John Paul II, who grew up in communist Poland and KNEW how evil that ideology was. RIP. He stood side by side with Reagan and Thatcher. I remember it well. Boy have times changed lol.
Check out the photos of “Strokin” Shane Jones at a firing range. Hey, he actually looks pretty good handling a rifle, and he’s a good shot to boot. It’s a semi-auto so-called “MSSA” similar to what the Chch killer used. Big deal, I’ve also shot one of those things a few times myself, BUT what kind of look is this for JA? I think NZ first did this deliberately, as they see a sinking ship they want to escape before it’s too late. Your thoughts?
Ardern responds to Shane Jones shooting banned AR-15 on holiday
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12276445
I agree. Shane would have known those photos would mean another visit to the head mistress’ office on his return.
All he would need to carry out a coup is to sit on her thin bones during such a meeting.
What can the stupid bitch do except stamp her feet & throw her toys out of the ninth floor window?
He’ll laugh at her.
Any bet’s the COL will limp into the new year and sputter to death before June? Grant will want to read their lolly scramble budget in the hope of a jump in the polls.
Obviously the three parties have to split at some point to polish up their bullshit before the election & blame each other for the mess the country is in but I’d hesitate to call a time.
First will be NZ First which will dissolve the coalition under some pretext but grant confidence &supply. Mercifully it will ensure a lame duck administration which may save the nation from the effects of more half baked legislation.
Labour and Greens goons are loving this MMP stuff! Just saw a JA interview- she is PISSED OFF! She looks so damn nervous in front of the NZ media, but “shines” in the international spotlight. The latter don’t mean shit honey.
…..” but “shines” in the international spotlight”……
She’s got the Californian vote in the bag & things are looking good in Canada. Trouble is that they don’t vote in NZ General Elections but don’t spoil it for her.
I can assure you the majority of Californians don’t even speak English, and probably couldn’t find “Nueva Zelanda” on a map lol. “JA Yay! Umm, who the hell is she??”
That blew my theory out of the water.
Bugger! 🙂
Lol maybe she could replace Tru-dumb but the Canadians are tiring of leftie bullshit too!
So they are giving 17 million to discourage extremist terrorism.
Some guy came on the radio and said there were well over 170 right wing websites.
Will they also be targeting extremist islamic websites
How many of those are there?
Is YSB included in those 170 sites?
Islam doesn’t even need to be “extreme” it already is “extremely” repulsive and has no place in a Western Democracy.
The 17 staff will have to be doing something all day won’t they?
Looking at all of us!
Give Shane Jones a medal!
Delivered at high velocity?
Let him bring home that rifle and present it to JA for an autograph LOL i’m having a hard time typing I’m laughing so hard!
The only reason Jones get away with this is because we have a weak Leader as Prime Minister just like the polls have suggested.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12276445
Jacinda is all piss and wind with no substance. You make the rules and convict others for breaking them and then show no guts when your Coalition Party member breaks them.
It seems there might be some infighting within Labour. Ardern just threw Justin Lester under the bus saying he ran as an Independent. When the journalists tried to correct her she did not change her stance.
Lester has always been seen a “shining light” in Labour.
Clearly, Jacinda, the Leader of the NZ Labour Party, has no clue what her party is doing.
Check out Justin Lester’s plea for funds…
https://www.justinlester.org.nz/donate
From Maggy’s link:
…..”donate to support Labour’s Wellington local government campaigns now”……
Don’t worry your pretty little head about all of those confusing numbers & letters Cindy. Look! There’s a kindy in the Chatham Islands you haven’t visited. 🙂
What makes you think Ardern would ever collide with reality let alone even have a minor fender bender with it.
She is in her own bubble of ‘alternative universe’ like a Marvel Universe
This is further enhanced by her breathing all that excessive CO2 🙂
Her acquaintance with reality has been ever so brief, if it ever happened.
She started in a Mormon bubble; went on to University and ‘communications (we know that was bollocks) ; then Tony Bliar’s false world of the Third way and WMDs that did not exist; then Socialist Yoof even after China has essentially gone capitalist and 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Bobby (head) has the most tenuous of grips on reality.
This is a portrait of what a compulsive liar looks like.
I have known one and this is how it is !
TVNZ announcing they have a political poll tonight. 6pm.
Why do TVNZ have their’s at the same time as Newshub?
Because I wrote to both of them last week and asked them when the next poll will be as there has not been one for a long time.
If that poll i just looked at is true, my earlier comment of a dream National/Act Govt ruling without pesky cling-ons due to MMP may not be so far fetched after all. This calls for a drink..:)
National and ACT have numbers to form a government in latest 1 NEWS Colmar Brunton Poll
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/national-and-act-have-numbers-form-government-in-latest-1-news-colmar-brunton-poll?auto=0
Has Mutch gotta bun in the oven or is she in a battle with pie face Woods to see who can explode first?
Yes, I noticed her cankles and then realised why. A bun in the oven I believe, although I’m sure she and the baby have enjoyed a pie or 3.
I dislike the news format that has presenters standing in front of a presentation screen. Their presence distracts from the topic and leaves them unnecessarily exposed to nasty personal comments about their appearance.
Many of the networks are doing the same thing.
The Fox girlies in their ridiculously high heels are just anatomical vandalism.
Someone going to be upset tonight!
I just saw Samoa and Tonga beat Scotland in Japan.
I just watched TVNZ news for the poll, then turned it off when Jack Tame came on.
More good news for National
A good result for National and Act and what a joy to see the commentators squirm when releasing the poll.
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/ardern-remains-top-spot-preferred-pm-bridges-climbs-in-latest-1-news-colmar-brunton-poll
By the look of Jacinda this morning she will have another night to cry over spilt milk and her own arrogance as her figures keep plunging.
Has Tame started his ‘Transition’ yet?
Asking for a friend!
It is not like he has far to go.
Fuck Yeah! https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news
And how!!! 🙂
Bargepole for sale.
Used once for touching Jacinda Ardern.
Condition: poor.
I just wonder what one should do when they are pathetic ex-ministers of this Col, and have to actually look for work in the private sector? Would you, middle New Zealand, employ any of these clowns? Didn’t think so :). Have fun finding REAL jobs suckers.
I recall that you’re in the building inspection racket ducklin.
Have you seen this?
https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/industries/116557551/new-zealands-defective-concrete-crisis-revealed-by-investigators
This is the tip of the iceberg Nasska.
If people new the half of it they’d live in a tent.
Shocking isn’t it? People need to remember that building permits/consents were/are issued in good faith, based on reasonable evidence of compliance with the relevant NZ Building Code rules applicable at a given time. Incompetence always comes back to bite sooner or later. As recently as say 10 years ago, some approved plans for residential and commercial buildings may have well been drafted up by boozers at a pub on Friday night. Check for yourself 🙂 go look up any building consent even that old. It was pretty bad folks.
Only anecdotal but I was told by a builder who did a bit of work on our last place. that it’s not unusual. He was working on a site on The Terrace in Wellington about 30 years ago & the pours were going on for the floors of another multi storey next door.
Apparently the workers were waiting for each section to be signed off to pour then taking the top layer of mesh off the section & laying it in the next. In context there were 5 or 6 layers of reinforcing but presumably the engineers didn’t want less.
Then there was the street of houses near Johnsonville where the Batts were removed after being signed off & later used in the next job next door. About twelve houses on the go at once under the supervision of one qualified tradesman. Chinese workers who couldn’t speak English.
It’s still a real piss off for the client who is paying tens of thousands for compliance.
A while back inspectors started taking photos with their smartphones for that very reason, to prove that a Council person had actually seen the steel mesh/insulation etc before crooked bastards had a chance to do that sort of thing. In small town NZ where i’ve worked for many a year, everyone knows everyone. A dodgy tradesperson would soon find themselves very unemployed. Chinese building gangs in the big city? I did a few final inspections on some houses, and I guess I got lucky the dude really seemed to have his shit together, I passed it and issued the Code Compliance Certificates. No doubt not every story ends that way! Removing mesh etc is playin’ Dirty Pool.
30 years ago. This might account for why the buildings that failed in the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake were mainly less than 30 years old.
Mindless bureaucrats are rarking up owners of older buildings that are often better built than the crap since Chase Corp and so on were putting together with Uhu glue and rubber bands from 1985 onwards. Those lot were so dodgy
There was a building collapse in New Orleans in the last week of a partially completed building and the building failure rate in Australia in climbing rapidly.
I thought most people in the trade knew about the sign off rort where the signed off items are then moved on to another place for sign off there ..as well.
In Australian Parliament, a Turnbull rot.
a number of Greens, Labor, and Liberal MPs have signed on to the crossbench-led climate action group, Parliamentary Friends of Climate Action, which is co-chaired by Dr Haines.
“I am calling for a cohesive approach,” she said.
A laugh in this video, as a response to the party cop-outs,
‘How dare’ Liberal MPs join Parliamentary Friends of Climate Action

“In an impassioned Thunberg-esque plea to Liberal MPs who decided to join the Parliamentary Friends of Climate Action, Sky News host Rowan Dean says “how dare you”.”
That’s hilarious!
Great find
Mr do as I say not as I do?

Whenever I read a piece about Jacinda speaking it’s akin to:
“Yes, this turd is smelly but if we polish it enough you will know how much we care for this turd.” [nods, cocks head], “And this turd is important to New Zealand and we’ve heard you say so; that is why we’re taking action to polish it.”
She can really bullshit her way through anything. And so many dipshits swallow that whole.
And another poll, this is even better.

How’s the shifting going?
Downsizing is a bitch, especially when the other is already furnished.
Interesting the anti-money laundering things that one has to sign as a vendor, and apparently using a driver’s licence that expired 15 years ago isn’t acceptable ID lol. It just goes to show how often I don’t get stopped, and how often I check my plastic cards. ;).
For a moment I thought oh fuck I will have to resit the test.
Oh crap! I hope they just replace your license for you. Try going to the AA not VTNZ.
We downsized so I know what you mean. Hospice got a good haul of stuff.
I had the other one in my wallet too.
Why are TVNZ and TV3’s senior political editors both young girls?
To be youth adjacent with Jacinda?
Not long out of school?
Must be all that real wold experience, between their ears!
If you cross a rooster with an owl, do you get a cock that stays up all night ?
Just asking for Mrs Holy.
Yes.
Some roosters are just cross and don’t need help. lol
In my younger days sigh…
I would be the last person to suggest viagra lol, that would make it all about the man!!!
Jacinda shows her selfish side once again today by not wanting to be tied to bad news by denying Justin Lester was backed by Labour and saying he ran as a independent.
https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/116575387/prime-minister-jacinda-ardern-distances-labour-from-failed-wellington-mayoral-candidate-justin-lester
Jacinda craves attention when the news is good but just like the sexual assault victims prefers to back sexual predators until the shit hits the fan and then changes sides.
Cindy has more to worry about than lying about whether Lester was a Liabour backed nutter, or not.
She should go back to the local kindy, her real support network, to reinforce how good she is with the hard questions they throw at her.
I find it ironic that the kindy kids eat Cinderella raisins.
I think she is pinching them from the kids lunch boxes.
That’s where she gets her special power. Lying.
Adulthood is her kryptonite.
Looks like Lester is not getting a safe list seat!
Cindys pissed because the shit is going to hit the fan as soon as the letter is released.
Wheres the shit going to land. Right on Cindy bin Lying!
There is no safe list seat for Liarbour. They are all at risk. There is no chance of them gifting a seat to the drunken dwarf. It’s all coming unstuck. You can lie to most people for a little while, but soon the shit hits the fan.
Yeah, like Phil Goff is an independent candidate.

Voters not satisfied with Government’s progress on housing – Newshub-Reid Research Poll
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/10/voters-not-satisfied-with-government-s-progress-on-housing-newshub-reid-research-poll.html
“Housing is shaping up to be the Achilles heel of the Government and voters don’t think it is doing enough to help first-home buyers.”
But it all looked so easy from the opposition benches! 🙂
Think of it this way.
If they did deliver on all their promises, cleaned out all the deviants and JA won the Nobbly piece prize we’d still be fucked.
We should be grateful they have failed.
Easy to sit in the back of a crown car and pluck nice round numbers out of the air as Moonbeam apparently did with the “100,000 Kiwibuild houses” they planned to build annually. Pack of wombles.
That was the catalyst.
Not one of them could see it was fundamentally flawed.
Worst government ever!!
How do you top up Cindy bin Lyings gltter?
First you roll her in shit!
For the first time in 40+ years, I forgot Hubby’s birthday…
I was a bit ashamed when I dished him up mince & mash & silverbeet….(he went back for 2nds).
…still, he hadn’t remembered himself until he went down to collect the post late in the afternoon and got a b.day card.
That’s terrible Maggy. Don’t be surprised if your marital privileges are rationed for the next few months. 🙂
I’m sure he will have forgotten by the morning….
One of the advantages of old age.
Forgetting hubby’s birthday just means he gets to choose the type of cake you are going to make for him. 😉
Did you try that trick too?
There I was, 25 years old – spinster of the parish – when I remembered an old flatmate’s bday…so I baked a cake ( my mother’s date & walnut with caramel icing), took it around to him in his research lab…and the poor bugga was hooked.
How can we innocent males stand strong against such seductresses?
Still it’s amazing what can get created out of very little. The cook & I did a stocktake at wedding anniversary #10. It transpired that our successful realtionship involving three kids & a house on a 10 acre block was based on her preference for muscular chests & shoulders while I was mesmerised by her eyes.
Go figure. 🙂
You stud.
It was banana cake and the best bacon and egg pie he’d ever eaten. Still works today. 🥧
Finally, looking after their own.
“Look at me, I am strong”…… 🙂

” …… My Government’s priority has always been to secure the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union on 31 October. My Government intends to work towards a new partnership with the European Union, based on free trade and friendly cooperation [European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill].
My Ministers will work to implement new regimes for fisheries, agriculture and trade, seizing the opportunities that arise from leaving the European Union [Fisheries Bill, Agriculture Bill and Trade Bill]. An immigration bill, ending free movement, will lay the foundation for a fair, modern and global immigration system. …….. etc. …..
…… As the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, my Government will ensure that it continues to play a leading role in global affairs, defending its interests and promoting its values. ….. etc. ….. ”

The old girl is a well practiced hand at this stage, and kept her Charlie son as just a hand to help down some steps.
A few stiff “upper lips” there! 🙂 though I thought Boris looked pretty relaxed. It seems like he has cracked it, though I never do like counting chickens until they have hatched.
Brexit; target in sight and a clear line of delivery, 31 October, this year. 🙂
God bless the UK. and all who will sail in her.
