Jacinda still likes to tell the world that she has the plan to fix child poverty despite figures showing she or her Government have not made one scrap of difference in over two years.
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/12/achieving-nz-s-child-poverty-targets-will-reduce-rates-to-some-of-lowest-worldwide-jacinda-ardern.html
The only difference that her story will make is people will see she is all piss and wind.
If she had any sort of plan, one would have thought she would have used it in her “year of delivery “
Like all lefties, it’s all about the feelz.
Another year of that vacuous face, mangled language, platitudes & feelz.
It’s going to be a rough ride!
Lets hope its not a full year, just 10 or 11 months!
You forgot the ‘Royal Wedding’ Nasska!
Mate you think the coverage when the Messiah Child was born was over the top? I have it on very good authority that this Wedding is being planned as the NZ Media event of the decade…
Yer, her staffer feeling up all the females in her office!
And the gob.
With or without sock.
Oh its a decade now is it? this reducing child poverdy I was under the misapprehension that the reduction was to be in the first term of this liebour col. and now its only to halve child poverdy, well that’s not as great as first stated. Shame. Worst government ever.
Bill English was making a change until the previous Government was changed and Jacindastated she had the plan to reduce Child poverty but was drawn from the ballot to prove her point. Well she has had over two year to make a difference and what has she achieved apart from hiding the figures needed to be seen to prove they were making a difference and telling more lies to MSM to cover her incompetence.
And forcing homelessnss by punishing landlords.
Child poverdee is a joke
I don’t like the way they measure it.
How do you know it’s being measured when Jacinda wiped the previous way it was measured. Bill English had a plan that was working and would lower Child Poverty figures by thousands but Jancinda wanted her bill that was not drawn from the ballot to solve the problem. She also said in Parliament it was a travesty that her bill was never drawn as it would solve Child Poverty, she lied then and is still lying now.
It’s not child poverty. It’s child abuse. And Labour are enablers. These stats will not improve under a Labour-led govt. Ardern claimed her primary personal reason for being in govt was to address “child poverty”. Well she’s going to have to invent a new way of measuring it, as they’re attempting to do with National’s health targets which they abandoned.
She managed to fix her childs Poverty with royalties and a great taxpayer salary backed up by taxpayer pension.
Awful person with dreadful idea’s.
On their list for their first 100 days wasn’t it?
Yes Bill English stuck with the plan not only to reduce child poverty but also to reward hard working Kiwi’s who helped NZ recover from the GFC with tax cuts. It would have lifted 50,000 children out of poverty but also given a boost 1.4 million tax payers. Projections made at the time were that 50,000 more would be also lifted in the next budget while expanding the wrap around assistance helping those in need most. Sadly now 2 years on progress is not only stalled but the numbers have increased even after changing the measuring process. They have failed on 9 out of 10 of their of their revised criteria. So much so their “reset” goal is to reduce it by 100,000 in a DECADE. It is more likely this will turn out to be like so many other numbers (misses) that will subsequently become another “aspiration”.
But according to her, those poverdy figures are made up that the media keep referring to.
It’s National that is wrong because of the last nine years of neglect.
Apart from the tribal lefties, others know she’s a liar !~
I’ll be very happy if 2020 sees Trump returned by a landslide and Ardern out on her arse.
Anybody else remember Ardern bleating at the last Election that she ‘wasn’t going to rest until she had ended Child Poverty’??
Well she she sure likes to rest- Whooshing off on yet ANOTHER overseas holiday!( *And I guess it’s only us little people who are expected to cut back out Air Travel eh?- But that’s a gripe for another thread)
Anyway- A mate at the pub reckons she is going to stick her unwelcome nose into the Aussie Bushfire response. Reckons she is going to do a ‘Jacinda Cuddle’ to a couple of Firefighters with her army of photographers at hand!
We laughed but on second thoughts she is actually that damn classless….And will use ANYTHING as a publicity stunt
The same Ardern who pronounced on Garners show that she is a “policy wonk”? What a liar; she couldn’t find her way out of a paper bag let alone come up with a detailed, coherent policy of any substance. Just what the hell were Labour doing for 9 years on the opposition benches?
Pointing the boney finger? Eating their lunch at Bellamy’s?
Never did any policy in all the years of oposition. How could she make that claim. Well a liar can say anything!
Some of ours are there aren’t they?
Did she take her dozen supermarket cream buns with her for the firefighters on holiday?
Does Cindy travel with more photographers than scribblewriters?
How Greta was manufactured/manipulated and made into a movie
https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2019/12/23/greta-the-movie/#more-42746
Will they get Daisy Duck to play her in the movie?
Is Disney woke?
No Sooty it will be Chucky
But not coached sufficiently to be able to answer a question without a scripted response provided by the minders and manipulators.
And some of our secondary students have been motivated to follow this unfortunately.
Thai elephants dressed as Santa give out Christmas presents
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2019/12/thai-elephants-dressed-as-santa-give-out-christmas-presents.html
Elephants dressed as Santa Claus have given out presents and sweets to students in Thailand in an annual Christmas tradition in the mostly Buddhist country.
Why can’t all religions play nice?
They are dressing up in Santa suits in Lebanon.
But I think that in all other muslims nations you’d need to keep your head down if you were a Christian.
DHB wants plain packaging for sweets and chips
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/dhb-wants-plain-packaging-sweets-and-chips
Lollies, chippies and high sugar products should have to come in plain packs like cigarettes, the Northland District Health Board says.
“Plain packaging would help challenge the power of corporate snack manufacturers and put unhealthy foods on a level playing field with unbranded fruits and vegetables,” he said.
What utter crap! Haven’t the DHB got any necessary work to keep their beaks out of our sweetie packets?
Trying to justify the megabucks some of them get paid!
The DHB Grinch? First they came for our alcohol, now our munchie snacks, just when we might need them the most.
Well a week or so ago Cindy trashed the apple labels which are actually branding.
These stupid arses should STFU because the simply show how fucking stupid they are.
Not sure the DHB’s are value for money. This style of busybody but useless stuff does nothing to make them appear useful in my observation. They are a crock with the mixture of elected then ministerial appointments at board level while the salaried staff running the place, using the Auckland example, seem very expensive yet of doubtful value in terms of health and medical service delivered.
The caption on today’s HYS pic is misleading because it suggests that Ardern and her gang were elected to government by the voters.
This was NOT the case at all. Due to a fatal flaw in our electoral system this disgusting rabble was selected by a cockroach by the name of Winston Peters who had only garnered 7% of the vote and NO ELECTORATE SEATS WHATSOEVER.
Don’t EVER forget this, New Zealand. If we forget this debacle and fail to act we are doomed as a country. This situation we find ourselves in is NOT because the voters are stupid…. it’s because of a fatal flaw in our system.
If, however, Ardern is able to somehow form a government after next election, this will indicate that indeed the voters ARE stupid.
That’s something the cocroach should never be allowed to die down!
Funny name, they look nothing like a cock. 🙂
No offense Rachael, but with a name like Membery I think you’re getting into dangerous territory here.
Only the last husband’s name, and he was a dick.
LOL – got a good chuckle out of that one thanks!
Yes, the party with the highest number of elected members should first be asked by the Governor General to form a government. The shambles produced by Peters, bluffing that he had a mandate to do so, was a failure of the democratic system last time around. He needs to be put in his place if required but hopefully he will not be in the picture next election.
At least the no prosecutions is sane.

Yep, good family folk who have no issue pedaling death and misery to other people’s kids.
Or WINZ funded?
The death penalty.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/middle-east/118428815/saudi-arabia-finds-11-people-guilty-in-jamal-khashoggi-murder
Death sentence.
Hell yeah.
Good idea for these as well:-
-Stephen Bell
-Graham Burton
-Stephen Williams
-Taffy Hotene
-Liam Reid
-Jules Mikus
-Raymond Ratima
-Bruce Howse
-Jason Sommerville
-All the creatures involved in the killing of Nia Glassie
Feel free to add your own names here
PS. People don’t seriously think that the correct people were convicted nor may any sentences be actually carried out.
It would be a show trial in S.Arabia.
William Bell, RSA killer
Thanks
To Cindy and the rest of the CoL –
If you were car salesmen you’d be trying to sell cars with square wheels.
That’s what socialism is and that’s what you think is “good”.
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.
Just back from doing my good turn for the day.
Got her display book on top of a pile of them in the window of Paper Plus.
Well done chap. I only managed one copy yesterday on the Goldy, obviously the ockers are onto her and the bullshit that flows from its gob.
Saggy, didn’t you do well the top copy in the window, even. Well done! Beat that one you lot!
Yep got the photo to prove it. I’m only getting going. Watch this space.
@Saggy – good stuff! “Thank you for your service.” 😉
I have been trying to spread the campaign to Britain the last couple of days but it seems the book is not on sale there. Oh dear, how sad, never mind.
Saggy, thank you for your service.
‘Joints will be separated’: Jamal Khashoggi’s murder, retold
Not to worry, the doctor said: “Joints will be separated. It is not a problem,” he assured. “If we take plastic bags and cut it into pieces, it will be finished. We will wrap each of them.”

From a Canadian blog posting.
“Now, Trudeau has stepped down from his Prime Ministerial duties altogether, assigning them to Chrystia Freeland, which is unconstitutional, according to our Canadian Charter. She was not elected by Canadians, so Canada is now in a dictatorship and King Trudeau has, ‘ascended to his throne’. Canadians should be on the streets in the tens of millions calling for a dissolution of this illegal government. Where are the Canadians, nobody is objecting to these matters?”
NB: Chrystia Freeland adores Soros. She is a Deep State player.Selected not elected. Mirroring complete.
I love the Dutch woman on this video who says she is not bothered by the UN and won’t change her mind. Good on her for standing up for her cultural practices.
Race Relations Commissioner unperturbed by Dutch Christmas parade’s ‘Black Pete’ tradition
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/race-relations-commissioner-unperturbed-dutch-christmas-parades-black-pete-tradition?auto=6117719832001
A contentious character in full blackface will remain part of Christmas celebrations for a Christchurch Dutch group.
But the Christchurch Society says it won’t give up Black Pete, even though the United Nations has called for change.
The Netherlands Society however, says it’s simply tradition, with Ms Saris saying it’s only fairytale and no harm is intended.
Standing firm in the face of so much idiocy is what we must all try to do. Never apologize, never back down.
Here’s an Aussie we definitely don’t want to take up residency!
Slithery stowaway: Wild python hitch-hikes ride from Australia to Queenstown
A python that managed to stow itself away on a flight to Queenstown from Brisbane was caught after a brief attempt at an escape.
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/slithery-stowaway-wild-python-australia-causes-delays-queenstown-airport
Pythons are harmless.
Hahaha! Try telling this little boy or his dad that. I expect his dad will tell you to go forth and multiply:

Yes. However, if one were to capture a vertebrate such as this, and extract its very valuable oil, it can be used for bartering. This, according to excerpts from the biography, ‘The life and times of Peter of Winston’.
Wellington sewage leaking from second location into harbour
Wellington Water says there is now another leak in a waste water pipe in the Wellington area causing more discharge to flow into the harbour.
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/wellington-sewage-leaking-second-location-into-harbour?auto=6117577216001
Wellington ratepayers are going to have to dig deep to fix the neglected maintenance. The same applies to Auckland and its neglected city sewage systems. Out of sight out of mind is coming home to roost,
The Pie minister at it again.
Fulfilling her diversity quota, by visiting all the local bakeries and collapsing the cities infrastructure.
She really should be rewarded for her stoic stance on steak savouries.
A fitting monument, larger than herself, should be erected in the Civic square.
May I suggest a rotunda?
Oh, you are a cheeky sod. A rotunda indeed!
That’s what happens when you move away from old white men who ran businness or were tradesmen on a stipend, into a resonable waged job for luvies with no business skills but know all about smashed arvo on toast and double shot lattas!
Bet it was the sametime that maintence work was done alot of stuff!
It’s a perennial problem. For a bottom feeding, socialist luvvy the eg. Justin Lester Centennial Sewage Pipe lacks the prestige associated with having an art gallery named in ones honour.
So much sewage comes out of Wellington I am surprised anyone noticed an extra bit !
Chester Borrows poking his nose in again
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2019/12/half-of-suicide-attempts-in-police-custody-made-by-m-ori.html
I thought this is what Kelvin Davis wanted.
Keeping the Maori prison population down.
Nothing about getting their iwi to help get them educated with a good job and some prospects, rather than doing crime against the rest of us, and ending up in court.
Stomach-stapled Chester has lost his licence
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/118443206/former-mp-and-cop-chester-borrows-loses-licence-for-speeding
Former National MP, police officer and prosecutor Chester Borrows is relying on the Christmas cheer of friends to transport him around after recently losing his licence for speeding.
The 62-year-old, who currently chairs a Government advisory group charged with helping reform the criminal justice system, had his driver’s licence suspended for three months after racking up 100 demerit points within two years.
It is nice to see a far lefty in trouble.
He turned out to be so wet, possibly wetter than IRA Bolger.
Plus he is on the Ardern Outfit payroll.
I am no defender of real sexula assault. However, this story seeems iffy. The headline screams “Dozens claim sexual harassment, assault at Restaurant Brands fast food stores”
https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/118396656/dozens-claim-sexual-harassment-assault-at-restaurant-brands-fast-food-stores–survey
However, start looking at the numbers. There is a convenient mix of actual numbers followed by percentages. The survey was sent to 9000. 168 responded. so thats 2.2%. Of the 2.2% 25% claimed to a victim. About 42. 42 out of 9000. so “which appeared to be a “deep-rooted issue with its company culture”. is made from possibly 0.46% of the total company. THis kind of breathless reporting does no good to real victims of rape an assault. Idiots.
Ali Mau burst into print, but will not support Labours females that got abused! Funny that!
A surprising message from John Minto. A rabid lefty who hasn’t been blinded by “Jacindamania”.
https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2019/12/24/the-problem-with-jacinda-continued/
Ha! Interesting piece, thanks for posting.
Oh well its nearly time.
Merry Christmas to you all.
And I hope Ardern has a Happy Holidays (not) preferabbly with some of them, not us.
Merry Christmas Diggy. May Santa be good to you. One sleep to go but you’re not to be out of bed in the morning before sun up to see what has been left under the tree for you!
The sun is over the yard arm and so the festivities begin in earnest with a nice glass of Chardonnay poured for the cook. 😊 Happy festivities everyone.
Well who would of thought that ,John Minto doesn’t trust Jacinda or her politics.
https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2019/12/24/the-problem-with-jacinda-continued/
It shows there are people out there on the the left that are prepared pick faults in what or where others dare to tread.
Happy, it was the same with Obama. Real lefties hated the stinking warmongering beast.
From happychappy’s link:
……”Jacinda is very skilled at empathising with questioners on any of these issues. “Yes, the figures are terrible aren’t they…”; “We can’t let this situation continue….”; “It’s just so awful…”; “As a country we must do better than this…” etc”…………”To put it bluntly I think Jacinda has perfected the political art of sounding good while saying nothing of substance.”……..(Minto Jan 2016)
Dear God! She’s so transparent even her fellow socialists see through her.
The wheels are slowly coming off the wreck that is Cindy-bin-lying.
They need to come off faster.
Its less than one year to go.
We’ve got wage and benefit rises coming in April
A Royal wedding before the election
Holy shit, I think you’ve done it Naaska. You have managed to reach the penultimate jibe.
“Cellophane Cindy”
Cellophane paradox.
Description: The Cellophane Paradox describes a type of incorrect reasoning used in market regulation methods. The paradox arises when a firm sells a product with few substitutes, which in turn allows the firm to increase the price of that product.
(But, but, but, Isn’t that lying?)
A special pot plant seedling is on it’s way. I hope.
Someone has stated that the three phrases that best sum up the
Christmas season are: “Peace on Earth”, “Goodwill to Men” &
“Batteries not included.”
I see the gutless cowardly corrupt cops are pursuing prosecutions over a volcano erupting, unlike the gunning down of a non-threatening unarmed man by their own.
What a truly obscene and disgusting bunch of govt servants. Pure filth.
Rendering someone harmless, or neutralizing a threat seems to end with a fatality all too often these days.
This aggressive non negotiating policy came from somewhere.
It came from the Ardern regime.
The victims are written up as armed extremists and their murders used as justification for even more armed fascist police.
This is authoritarian socialism 101
In a political context an authoritarian can reasonably be described as one:
…….” In favour of large, intrusive government that violates or suppresses individual rights; characterized by a “law and order” approach”…….
Which wouldn’t be a bad definition of either the National or Labour parties. One acts in accordance with their imaginary god while the other follows crap ideology. To the average citizen the difference is minor.
Vote ACT!
My definition:
An authoritarian believes people serve the State, not the reverse.
And I agree with your observation nasska.
This story is fake. The lying bitch should be dogged, pepper sprayed, and tossed in jail for Christmas.
https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/118432736/auckland-familys-christmas-ruined-after-second-burglary-in-eight-days
Why do you say that Kea?
Jesus Christ on skates!
I mean it is His birthday in a few hours – or more if HE was born in the Middle East 🙂
That Stuffed write up sounds like a crock.
This lazy tart – who looks too old to be the mother of those kids [the child farmers start early, could be batch 3] burnt her rented house down in August and reduced housing stock.
Then moved to Auckland – how convenient – house burns down – move closer to the bros.
Get another house.
House burgled so we are told.
Needs presents coz the bene is maxxed out so makes up story.
Gets free presents and food.
BS written up by TORIKA TOKALAU
I wonder if there is even 5 % truth in that crapola.
Possibly not!
If you fancy a bit of fun:
I have just completed the UK Labour Survey and informed them that the voters wanted
https://www.surveygizmo.eu/…
– More nationalisation
– More open borders
– More Carbon Neutrality
– More LGBT Support
-More Somalis
-More free stuff for illegal immigrants
And, above all a black female leader (Dianne Abbott).
I see DPF has lined up his 20 prophesy for next year, most of which are a no lose item.
Here another from a good source.

BNZ to be sold and bought by the Super Kings. Marge in Kiwibank.
Now I can see Winston supporting that.

Not that weird one from T A called James P is it?
It’s not going to end well!
I shouldn’t think so.
I finally managed to do my bit for YSB.
I managed to turn a women’s magazine with a picture of Ardern on the cover, when she was about 20 years old, on the front cover.
Or was it photo shopped?
It was a very busy supermarket.
I tried to get my g/f to take a video, but I did not want to cause a scene.
Lots of whales out tonight, bending over their shopping, not a pretty sight.
Why have rules at all if they can all be waived if convenient?
