    • Bishop is flying a kite to see if RUCs could replace fuel taxes. Its been mooted before & there are two fish-hooks that always surface:

      1) “The poor” (who will always be with us, bless them) travel further because they live further away from work and/or the local welfare office. Therefore RUCs would be discriminatory.

      2) RUCs as now administered are fairly cumbersome & late payment is common. The only way to address this is to compulsorily install GPS trackers in cars to monitor distances travelled. These same GPS units will enable government & its lackeys to keep tabs on where everyone is 24/7. Very dangerous.

    • So how is this FAIR?
      Stop and think for a moment.
      If you are a business then the road tax/petrol tax or whatever you call it is an expense before you declare any profit or loss.
      If you are a private car user, doing the same travel then it is an after tax expense that whilttles away your income. Consider a person driving to work. It costs that person to actually go to work. The employer then has to pay more to hire that person and that person then gets taxed more.
      Our tax system as it is is fucked and fucks the individuals caught in it.

      There just has to be a better way.

      • Hi Viking. Well it’s instead of fuel tax which you’re currently paying at approx. 66 cpl. So for some they will be better off and for some worse off. The RUC would definitely favour those who drive V8’s, which possibly isn’t sending the right message, but fine by me.

        • You have lots to learn about the machinations of politicans.
          It is not that many years ago when cars were given ratings according to thier horsepower and fuel consumption. Registration charge was derived from this information.
          If you think the dumb bloody Nats couldn’t reintroduce something like this again then you ain’t lived very long.

  4. So far no massive event in retaliation, but it is there, simmering away, 🙁

    ….. bound hand and foot. Two were urinated on, while one had a pair of socks stuffed into his mouth and was made to walk through dog excrement as part of the degradation.
    One victim was told he deserved to be beaten and robbed because he was a “white man responsible for attacks on Muslims in New Zealand.”

  5. I can’t believe how deluded Jerome Corben is and thinking it was a lossed opportunity, people in Britain hate him with his policy but he thinks he could of won even after millions of Labour voters changed there vote to Boris to make sure he never became Prime Minister. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/dec/14/we-won-the-argument-but-i-regret-we-didnt-convert-that-into-a-majority-for-change
    How can you defend that defeat by saying we won the argument but never turned it into votes.

    • Nash can fuck right off. About 100,000 gun owners have effectively said that. The problem for National ( If they win next year) is how to fix this cock up. And talking of Nash, didn’t he dio a sterling job on White Island? Took the SAS to sort the issue out when a couple of helicopter pilots could have done it on the day….

      • Hm yes. The SAS man was raving on about what they had to do and so on. We pay them bloody good maoney and train them well to do this stuff. That they have had to use that treaining once is good as they will hve a more practical understanding of what many civilians do as their day jobs.
        Think those that do forensic recoveries of bodies that have been dead in various building for a period. those that pick up body bits of the roads on a daily basis.
        Its a war out there and the SAS don’t have it any worse than many lowly paid ordinary citicens.

These clown’s couldn’t run a piss-up in a brewery. As far as the register goes, it just takes one cop on the take, or a gang sleeper getting through, and the consequences don’t bear thinking about. Nash is a smug, angry shit.

    • Why would any Muslim flee and play victim? There haven’t even been any spike in (fake) hate crimes to point to yet.
      Maybe this person is upset over the potential delay to the supremacy of sharia, or the loss of his fellow anti-semite in the UK election.

      In perspective: The headline quotes only 1 person, who seems to be ‘pondering’ leaving.
      Hardly an exodus of Muslims like the headline claims, and no guarantee of sincerity on behalf of the single claimant.
      Sour grapes more likely., just like all the Hollywood bozos who were going to flee when Trump won.
      ….oh, wait….

  15. So I’m a bit bewildered.
    I dropped my wee girl off to School this morning and went in to the classroom with her to give her Teachers a card and small gift.
    On the wall of the Classroom is a framed picture of Jacinda Ardern, beaming down at the kids with a terrifying toothy grin…
    Is this standard procedure round NZ classrooms? I can’t remember any pictures of John Key or Helen Clark….
    (There were certainly none of Muldoon or Lange from when I was a kid)

      picture of Arnold Nordmeyer front and centre on the classroom wall. He never missed an opportunity to push his
      politics in class and poke his lefty humour at those he knew were from National families.

      I heard years later that he got locked up for some kiddy sex stuff…

          I went to a Holyoake electioneering meeting at the Hastings Municipal Theatre around the time I was first old enough to vote. It was one hell of an entertaining night. KH had a very sharp repartee and his put downs to the dyed in the wool, cloth cap wearers were hilarious.

          I was sitting next to some old bat who kept bellowing out. “what about Vietnam”? ….”what about Vietnam”?

          When KH finally got around to talking about Vietnam this old girl starting yelling out, “what about education?'”…. “what about hospitals?” “what about…..all the other subjects KH had just been talking about.

          By comparison the Labour meeting were boring. No heckling whatsoever…too scared to… the union thugs from Tomoana and Whaktatu were all around the place.

  18. I can blow the “climate change” bullshit out of the water. This is how I would do it.

    Two words are enough to demolish it – “the Pause”. This is the (at least) 18 year period during which there was **no warming at all**.
    https://wattsupwiththat.com/2015/11/05/the-pause-lengthens-again-just-in-time-for-paris/

    If you have a **continuous** input to a system (e.g. manmade CO2) and you say that warming is **very largely** due to this input, you **CAN’T** have a pause when the input is continuous!
    Try continuously filling a bowl with water – there is no pause. Try heating a pot of water – there is no pause! This ALONE blows the warmists out of the water.

    There is more – the small issue that CO2 isn’t a “greenhouse gas” at all –
    https://principia-scientific.org/evidence-proves-that-co2-is-not-a-greenhouse-gas/

    If even more is needed, look at when the earth had 7,000 ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere.
    Life *thrived* then and there was no runaway greenhouse effect.

    Then there are the *frauds* committed by the warmists – ClimateGate is the best-known but there is more evidence here –

    • What a load of crap from the Notional mob.
      They are more left wing now than 2008.
      They are more left wing than Labour 1980s.
      Notional has lead Govt for 17 years of the last 28 (60%) since RMA was made law by Notional in 1991.
      Reform, my arse.

      RMA – Pushed by Soimon Upton. Notional. Mr Environment.

      In 2008 Notional campaigned on reforming it and won 58 seats plus ACT (5) plus Peter Dunne (1) = 64 seats. They even brought Maori party into the tent.
      Clear majority.
      They did not reform it.
      Probably never intended to. Never touched WFF or student loans either.
      They did raise benefits in real terms. That helped at the ballot box…not!

      They yakkety yakked about it. All words, no action.
      Just like Liebour do today. eg Kiwibuild, zero roads deaths, child poverdy et al.
      Bridges is so close to Liebour he is using the same methods as well as voting in everything they propose.

      This is not even a pretend politicians lie. It is real lie from Bridges.
      Why does he not stick to fining cyclists who don’t stay in their cycle lane?
      Why does not the Notional fool stick to banning guns and pissing off over 100,000 gun owners?
      Why does Bridges not stick to giving our taxpayer money away to lazy African counties because – CO2 is in the air.
      Why does Bridges not stick with limiting free speech?
      Don’t waste my time.

      “We live in the coldest period of the last 10.000 years” , says
      glaciologist, Jørgen Peder Steffensen who take us back in time to the Grenland icecores and reveals the secrets from the past.

      1 minute 30 seconds shows an interesting graph for the past 10,000 years of temperatures.
      As the 3 kms of ice cores from Greenland were studied.
      From 1 minute 30 seconds shows an interesting graph for the past 10,000 years.
      “Shows the temps 2.5 degrees warmer for about 3000 years or so, then the decreasing temperature to the Roman Age which was a cooling time, then increasing back up for the medieval warm period,
      A decline again to about 1650, then a small bounce up to about 1800 before a decline down to the lowest point in 10,000 years in 1875.
      Sort of matches when meteorological observations started.
      Peat bogs, tree rings, with carbon 14 dating all confirm the pattern. from China, North Africa, Europe,
      So warming is occurring this century, simply because it starts at the coldest time in 10,000 years.
      That shows it is a very poor experiment, whether natural variation, or man made contribution to the current warming.”

      Depends. At one every 11 months it would only take 37 years to breed 40 meal tickets. You’ve got to remember that they only qualify as DPB top ups until they’re sixteen. Then allowances have to be made for those who get kicked to death by the latest sperm donor & those who get spun to death in a clothes drier.

      With an early start, say puberty & tapering off at menopause 45 would be an achievable goal.

            ……”The family benefit was increased to 15 shillings per week per child in 1958–59, and was able to be capitalised up to a maximum of £1000 when buying, altering, or paying off a home from 1959–60″……

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare_in_New_Zealand#Family_benefits_and_tax_credits

            That last sentence told the difference. Capitalising the Family Benefit was the road to home ownership for many families. The idea may be due for another outing.

              Only a widow’s benefit in those days.
              It was basically until death do you part. 🙂
              So there was a commitment by the partners and to the kids.
              Not always perfect, but it was an understood contract with the government, and particularly for the kids and the house, for better or worse.

              No solo mum’s benefit, + number of sperm donors.
              That is why it would work.

              As soon as the Domestic Purposes Benefit came in, 1973, as soon as a kid was born, the mother seemed to have a right to a state house,
              How ever it worked, the father was either put out, or continued to play the field.

              That is when it seemed to me that accountability and responsibility seemed to be socially phased out, as were “shot gun” weddings.

  42. Sir Howard Morrison’s daughter, Donna Grant, admits four fraud offences

    Sir Howard Morrison’s daughter, Donna Mariana Grant, has admitted defrauding a tertiary education provider and a Crown agency of approximately $1.25 million.

    The prominent Māori performing arts educator has pleaded guilty to four fraud charges, one of which relates to the New Zealand Warriors Foundation.
    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12294157&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=nzh_fb&fbclid=IwAR2U9Wfc01IMvBngG2A4VEc2L6a8CaNY2wFFGOBdvyA6Zggpn9_ulYtcDgs

    Grant was the first woman to be appointed to the board of the Warriors rugby league club in 2012.

    A New Zealand Warriors media spokesman said the organisation had no comment to make.

      • However, it hasn’t stopped the Government from appointing Hannah Tamaki to a prestigious role: a Justice of the Peace – with Opposition leader Simon Bridges describing it as “bizarre”.

        National leader Simon Bridges also says he would not work with Vision NZ, describing some of the things Tamaki has said as “wacky” and “bizarre”.

        Both political party leaders put it down to extreme differences with the Tamakis. And yet despite ruling out working with her, Labour has made Tamaki a Justice of the Peace.

        “Oh, these aren’t things that I have discretion over,” the Prime Minister said, when asked if she is comfortable with her Government giving Tamaki the role.

        Justices of the Peace (JPs) are community leaders with judicial powers such as overseeing some trials and performing citizenship ceremonies.

        JPs have to be given the nod by their electorate MP – in Tamaki’s case National’s Judith Collins. But it’s the Associate Minister of Justice – Labour’s Aupito William Sio – who made the final call.

        “It’s bizarre, and you’ve just got to ask yourself, what was going through the minister’s head here?” Bridges said.
