  8. The lunatic left’s war on landlord’s continues

    Funny how all the legislation waging war on capital goes so lightly reported through the House until the grand announcement – I kind of expect one day I’m going to wake up and find out that Labour have passed a law allowing them to round up and execute anyone who pays tax and has savings.

    Anyway, latest from the people trying to prove that “capitalism has failed” (by passing laws that make it impossible for capitalism to work) more assaults on the rights of productive members of society who provide rental homes to Labour voters.

    So this year:
    – landlording is no longer treated like a business with the ability to expense losses (unless in a meaningless ring-fenced way)
    – landlords got whacked with massive overhead increases (insulation, heating, ventilation etc)
    – landlords get additional massive legislative compliance costs/risks with punitive burdens governing access, notice etc
    – landlords get penalised when tenants move out by carrying the cost of a rental agency finding a new tenant
    and now
    – landlords can only increase rents once a year (when government can keep on piling on costs whenever they like – certainly not once a year)
    – if you as the landlord, or someone in your family, get in trouble and have to move into your own rental property – you have to give 90 days notice instead of the previous 42 days
    – and if you as landlord are selling your property, you now have to give 9 weeks notice up from 6 weeks.

    But it’s OK, Kris Faafoi was concerned about getting the fucking balance right, he didn’t want to be seen to be “unduly” punishing landlords. (So he is happy to be seen to duly punishing landlords though)

    Fuck me sideways with a Thanksgiving turkey! If this is what those cunts think “balanced” looks like, I’m petrified how bad it’s going to be next year when they go hard out to punish productive members of society!

    Across the board, it’s pretty terrifying to see how quickly and how bad things have got under these arseholes. With Soimon doing his best to give the fascist left every chance to get re-elected – I wonder will there be a NZ left if they get a second term

        • That’s a fairly short term view of the situation.

          And who’s to say the increasingly progressive Catholic party would’ve not continued their strategy of appeasement of the lunatics of the left (after all they’re the only part in the past 11 years to raise benefits).

          National are the problem, you can’t continue to vote for a party that is lying about who they are. National are not centre right, they are the very essence of the Swamp in NZ. When you have two left wing parties to choose between – at some point you have to protest and the only protest we have is our vote.

          I for one refuse to choose between two parties when one of them seeks to be elected because they’re not quite as bad as Labour.

          Fucking shit is not good enough and I will vote not for National while they are for:
          – disarming legal gun owners
          – unfettered migration
          – Climate Chicken Little Alarmism
          – Diversity
          – Faux Gender pay (which is actually just misandry)
          – appeasing China
          – MMP

          I will continue to seek any option other than the two main parties, it’s the only thing that’s going to save us from the ever increasing Swamp problem we have.

          • Well said DP.

            Get it correct however
            https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/274262/budget-latest-prime-minister-john-key-says-his-is-the-first-government-to-raise-benefits-in-43-years
            In the 2015 budget Notional raised the bene in real terms for the first time in 43 years
            …and were out at the next election.
            Dickheads.
            the benes would NEVER vote for them.

            Let us not forget that while saying Notional is not as bad as Liebour their failures have been massive.
            Esp under Bolger.
            People criticise Muldoon but Bolgers time was worse.

            -They picked up and championed the RMA (Simon Upton, now a true Wet) then whinged about it ever since

            -Gave us the leaky homes by saying you could build with untreated timber -at a cost greater than the Christchurch earthquakes with as much stress – simply spread over many years and fragmented enough to not be front page for 3 years.

            -stripped the Auckland Regional Council of its powers in 1992 (but not GWRC, Canterbury etc) making central planning non existent then foisting the super shitty replacement on us in 2010

            -keeping National out of regional Govt ensuring councils get more bolshy, left wing and wingnut year by year

            -did some truly hideous deals with State owned assets in the early 1990s . Well not hideous for Fay Richwhite but the taxpayer.
            many more examples

            With Notional headed by an insipid former Govt provincial lawyer and the alternative of Luxon in the wings there seems little hope.

        • Stop picking on Chuck.

          He knows he got it wrong and is now the Remit King of the Nats.
          It’s just that most of the Notional decision makers are 30 years younger and will never own a V8, nor contemplate it.

    • yes just imagine what other things they would do if they get in next election
      Lower jails sentences.

      Schools turned into communist breeding grounds.
      They will go hard out left!

    • In all honesty I do not share your pessimism . If national could manage to get 47% support at the last election, after 9 years, I think they will loose votes to ACT but still have enough votes between them to beat Liarbour.

      Cindy was selected by the drunken dwarf to be his puppet. That will not happen again next year. Winstonfirst will not be over the 5%. Neither will the greens as their green votes will be siphoned of by the other nutter green pardy.
      This leaves us with only 3 pardys in Parliament next year.

      • Yes ED, as you say we only need to get NZF and the Greens both under 5% and then National will win.
        But it depends on if the New Greens can take a few percent off the Greens.
        And it depends if NZF can come up with a vote winner like they do most elections

        • I haven’t given you an up or a downtick Chuck. But I don’t want National to win.

          I realise they are the only party who can currently displace Labour. But I don’t believe the alternative that they pose is better than Labour. Not enough so that it justifies a vote for them. I just cannot vote for them. Three elections ago, maybe. But now that I’ve seen what they really believe and how they treat New Zealanders?

          Never.

          I cannot support a party that is opposed to my personal liberty and who will enthusiastically support the removal of my rights as a free man in the name of politics. If they opposed what Labour was doing, sure. But they don’t. They simply rebrand Labour policy with a business focus, but they are as statist, big government and control oriented as Labour. They’ll tax and spend with the worst of them.

          I will continue to vote ACT because they stand for what I believe in. And whether they win, whether they get a seat or not – I’ll be true to my ideals.

      • I hope you’re right Ed. But we’ve seen NZF and the Greens teetering on the edge of 5% too many times and come away with enough votes time and time again. I don’t think this time will be different – the tribalism, particularly in that space is simply too strong.

      • As for Shane Jones bullying outbursts over the past few weeks over immigration, posting video of firing guns on holiday and his arrogant display last week at the farmers’ protest, I’m guessing it has dawned on Shane that time in the cushy office of a parliamentary minister is fast running out without any chance of re-election in 2020. On top of that his messiah and meal ticket has made a chump of himself suing the National party over his privacy. Not a lot to encourage votes for NZ First. Shane’s desperation is showing!

        • I agree – my observations are that in the main blogs reflect a bit of an echo chamber promoting who is the current outside favourite. Judith Collins and New Conservatives at w/o but I understand NZF are getting the big push again (have to pay legal fees somehow?.
          Somehow each poll that comes out does not reflect the fervent bellowing of the few 100’s that frequent blogosphere.

              • It is very disappointing that not one of 586 new visitors have joined. I am at a loss to understand why this should be, are people so scared of being tarred as politically incorrect right wing extremist white supremacists that they are simply scared off by our sometimes forthright views?

But given how aggressively the left have attacked anyone who disagrees with their viewpoints and how they’ve tried to destroy people who oppose them; I would not be surprised if a lot of people are simple being cautious and protecting themselves.

Over an hour later I was still reading and hadn’t got to the bottom of the comments section. There is a lot of quiet right wing support out there in the world. Socialists might think they have us in the bag but hopefully the pendulum is swinging back and will clout them in the nose as we take back control of our own lives.

  10. MORE misery is on the way as villages remain cut off with 80 flood warnings still in place with Atlantic storms threatening to unleash another deluge next week
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7692613/Environment-Agency-claims-parts-UK-need-rain-despite-nearly-100-flood-warnings.html

    • I was interested to note a day or so ago that someone observed many of the flooded communities have been built on flood plains. If that is to, and I suspect it is from observation of some of the recent photos in the UK media, there is something very wrong with UK planning laws.

      • There is something very wrong with the sheer number of people who need housing in the UK, that is why so many houses are built on flood plains. Can you imagine where we would be having to build houses in this country if New Zealand’s population was pushing eighty million? It is bad enough with just five million and I for one certainly don’t want any more.

  14. One Year On, Majority of French Still Support Yellow Vests

    The poll, released by Elabe, noted that just 29 per cent of French were against the movement, with another 15 per cent who said they had no opinion either way. The highest support comes from supporters of populist leader Marine Le Pen and far-left politician Jean-Luc Melenchon, Le Figaro reports.

  17. You’d almost think this was stated in 2019, Nope read on:

    “In any age, the so-called progressives treat politics as their religion. Their holy mission is to use the coercive power of the State to remake man and society in their own image, according to an abstract ideal of perfection. Whatever means they use are therefore justified because, by definition, they are a virtuous people pursuing a deific(resembling a god in qualities such as power or beauty; divine.) end. They are willing to use any means necessary to gain momentary advantage in achieving their end, regardless of collateral consequences and the systemic implications. They never ask whether the actions they take could be justified as a general rule of conduct, equally applicable to all sides.“

    • I’ve been saying this for years.
      There are far too many useless mouths on the earth, especially in basket case countries like India, Pakistan, Uganda,
      And in fact the climate Change Frenzy may just bring it on.
      Their Paris accord targets are a joke, most countries just said things like “we will try to keep our emission down to a lower level than what they would have been by 2050.”
      If there is only 12 years to save the world, then adding 200,000 people a day or 69 million a year is not going to help!
      As any small gain is out weighed by 69 million more people A YEAR.

      there is no need for eugenics or any other Nazi style plan.
      Just limit every woman to one child for say 50 years and then look at things.
      Limiting it to two children would still result in huge increase.
      One child per woman would start a small but steady decrease in populations

The along came the globalists who started flooding the civilized western countries with high fertility low, IQ savages especially those who follow an ugly, violent totalitarian ideology. It will not end well and our children and grandchildren will curse us for having let things go so wrong.

  23. From the ACT Party latest news letter .

    “ACT Deputy Leader Beth Houlbrooke addressed 400 people in Dargaville on Thursday. Think about that for one moment. An ACT politician, who is not David Seymour, addressing a large crowd (no other politicians were invited), in a region that is not Auckland, Wellington, or Christchurch. Events such as this make us think reports of UMR having ACT at 2.8 per cent (and four MPs) are real.”

    France – yellow shirts

    Chile – the elite have all the money
    Lebanon – corruption and the elite
    Iraq – corruption and no jobs
    Hongkong – want more democracy
    And there are one or two in Africa
    And now Iran – petrol has gone up and no jobs

        As we were heading off to a likely-looking facility in Clive Square a begging chap plonked on the footpath looked at us with our backpacks and informed us very nicely that there were clean toilets in the opposite direction behind the buses….
        so we thanked him, went across the road to make some purchases and returned with a handfiul of change for him.

        Seemed a nicer class of beggar than the usual.

  32. Might not be his intention but now could be a time to become a tranny? 🙂

    There are 136 detainees who have entered Australia from Nauru and Papua New Guinea since medevac laws passed in February, with less than one in ten requiring medical treatment on arrival.

    Legislation states that asylum seekers are not returned to detention centres after their treatment, meaning the man could remain in Australia indefinitely.

    Will he stay? or will he be deported again.
    Just hack it all off and he might be safer to the rest of the public, if the judiciary allow him to stay. 🙂

    A comment:- the traditional way of treatment, would be with “fire ants” 🙂

  37. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Why can’t we have serious presenters on TV/radio/MSM who are prepared to call out the climate nonsense the way Chris Kenny, Andrew Bolt and Peta Credlin do. Watch Kenny slam the Greens and their claim that the bush fires in Australia are a direct result of climate change. Listen to the Greens spokesman claiming that the fires are due to a 1 degree rise in global temperature and asking views to imagine what it will be like if the rise gets to 2 degrees.
