Jacinda must be hard up for media accolades but with the millions that she and Winston bribed the Pacific Islands with earlier this year they have have come to her rescue and made Island person of the year being the second non Pacific Islander to receive the award with the other Prime Minister being John Howard.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/406780/nz-pm-named-pacific-person-of-the-year
She does nothing and is politically corrupt with no economical sense and Left just keep drooling over her.
They forget it was NZ taxpayers money. Socialist Cindy was just buying votes with our money. Winston will be pissed he wasn’t mentioned at the same time.
Someone travelling to the islands on holiday needs to visit the bookshops, etc to turn the magazines and books for the #Turn Ardern campaign. Pacific person of the year. Pfffft!
Interesting that a large bookshop in my neighbourhood did not have any of choppers books.
Pissed me off as I made a special trip to do my deed.
You have to wonder if Andrew Little and Labour have helped small time crime in NZ with there wish to lower the Prison population. Supermarkets in this country are hit by thieves everyday and can do nothing forceful to stop it and it is in the thousands of dollars weekly, but now the thieves have even got cleverer by making copies of food vouchers from different agencies that help the poor some up to $500. So the Government extra payments to all beneficiaries is still not enough so shop lifting and fraud is better way to help subsidize there living.
What do you mean their wish to lower NZ prison population?
The have I saw some figures that its lowered by 1,000.
Yet we have more crime!
The totally unfair huge rise on cigarette tax is not helping either.
So the Prison Population has dropped by 1000.
And we have a truckload more Crime…
I’m no ‘Criminologist’ but perhaps these walking Crimewaves Andrew Little is so desperate to keep at large in the Community aren’t behaving themselves like he said they would?
Surely not Cap One. I have full confidence in little andrew, not ..bwuhahahahaha!
Apparently the owners of 100,000 firearms are going to need beds too.
Property market: Decade ends with record-high asking prices, low stock, few new listings
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/money/2020/01/property-market-decade-ends-with-record-high-asking-prices-low-stock-few-new-listings.html
Allow thousands more immigrants into the country without building enough housing high prices are inevitable.
It’s supply and demand.
Hang on, we’ve got Kiwibuild, have banned foreign investors and have LVR limits. How can this be?
Also the problem with LVR’s is that presumably they’ll be removed and then the floodgates open.
This will tend to happen anyway, as those who missed out on purchasing with a 10% deposit a few years ago will be nearing the point of being able to purchase with a 20% deposit. So there comes a point (soon) when the volume of buyers being able to purchase at 20% is not far off the volumes able to purchase at 10% in the past. At that time LVR’s have lost their mojo.
So why will politicians not address the demand side and stop the mass immigration? All pollies appear deaf and dumb on the number one issue affecting all aspects of our economy.
The NZ economy does need workers.
So the first thing to do would be to Stop all third world un-qualified immigration for six month
Then get get EVERY one on the job seeker allowance working. Everyone!
No Training, no education, just working any job, travel if you have to
If you do drugs and don’t turn up then cancel your dole for ever.
This is your final warning.
In the early 1960’s we had 54 unemployed! 54.
DN15 and in the the late 70’s we had the start of the generational welfare and it hasn’t changed since. It started with Fathers and then families and if you look now not a lot has changed.
wiseowl this from Grant Robertson: Treasury says net migration will decline from 50,000 persons per year ending September 2019 to 35,000 in the year June 2024,
Robertson disagrees.
I have continually believed that where we’ve settled around 50,000 at the moment seems to me where we will stay.

This is very different to what they campaigned on in 2017.
How the Californian bureaucracy makes one suffer in their arrogance but the state stealthily is finds many ways to getting what it wants.
Virtually all of those people trying to buy ammo are legally allowed to do so, but were rejected “because their personal information hadn’t been entered into the state’s system, or the information on their identification cards didn’t match what officials had entered into the California gun registry database, which retail sellers must review,” …..
“everyday residents and visitors into criminals, building a database of consumables and setting up a giant new bureaucracy within one of the least capable state agencies to do so ……
…… “backdoor” isn’t the right way to put it. It seems like full-on registration.
https://spectator.org/the-latest-bureaucratic-attack-on-gun-rights/
Registration ideas coming into NZ., and will be no better.
So what do they do, they get their mate to buy it for them and buy a shitload of ammo to last a long time!
Here’s an interesting short film on why NOT to register guns. I don’t expect for one minute that our government of fools and the police senior management who are jerking their strings will pay any attention at all. It is the poor, long suffering NZ taxpayer who will foot the enormous bill after all.

US bank employee ‘steals $133k from vault’, poses with evidence on social media
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2019/12/us-bank-employee-steals-133k-from-vault-poses-with-evidence-on-social-media.html
A bank employee in the US has been arrested by the FBI for allegedly stealing large amounts of cash from the bank’s vault – and posing with the evidence on social media.
“I make it look easy but this shyt really a process [sic]”, alongside a photo of him clutching a wad of money.”
Stupid, or what!
Aaaaaannnndddddd he’s a blick. What a surprise!
Just thinking about Cindy’s imminent pre-election nuptials (sad I know). I’m not sure that the wedding will necessarily have the desired effect. The public’s been made well aware of her attention-seeking photo shoots, magazine covers and virtue signalling on the international stage. Of course the lap dogs gotta lap, but a lot of people will see it for the cynical, non-political self promotion that it is, and it may not translate to achieving a net gain.
Do you think the media have become aware of this public disquiet, and have decided not to put her on the covers of their mags? If they had any brains they would put her on both the back and front covers. But we are talking about the MSM here. I don’t think the advertisers on the back page would want to give up their getting front page status from the “Turd Ardern” mob.
But then we can still turn her upside down!
Put her inside the magizne and we would never find her!
The circus will still sell the mags. Yeah back cover advertising space will go through the roof. ACT need to buy up large. Turn Adern and get David.
Vote Cindy and get Twit Twyford for free!
That is definitely worth more than one uptick and you did not even include Mahuta, Lees-Galloway and Mallard.

Another 9 months listening to Trevor!
You guys have no idea!
I have plenty of Media contacts and Trust me-The fuss made over the birth of the ‘Messiah Baby’ is going to look like a non- event compared to what Labour are planning for this ‘Royal Wedding’!
Do you think it will be a goer? Jethro might decide living with Cindy for the foreseeable future a step to far. He might read the tea leaves, see her not being PM come September and bail out.
He will stay as long as she is getting the `big bucks’ as PTPM.
Yup, once the novelty wears off Jethro will be away like a dog shot in the arse.
This sounds like one of many two Bob poms that immigrated to Australia in the sixties are wanting a change. The Queen has been urged to deselect the Australian Prime Minister who is accused of failing to issue a prompt response to the fires which started in september. Jordon Shanks a you tuber known online as as friendly jordies called on the Monach to sack Mr Morrison.https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1224541/queen-news-australia-fires-prime-minister-scott-morrison-queen-elizabeth-II-statement-news
I wouldn’t pay too much attention to anything in the Express, it is the worst tabloid of a bad lot.
You may have noticed that the media has been full of “Australia burning up” and “Record heatwave” stories of late – hard to miss them really. I suppose they have found it simple inconvenient to tell us anything about this though because it doesn’t fit the narrative:

Is it just a Christchurch thing?
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/118611422/christchurch-woman-killed-while-working-on-the-street-wouldve-fought-for-her-life
“A 34-year-old mother allegedly murdered near Christchurch Airport is the fifth sex worker to be killed in the city in 15 years.”
Christchurch does have a ongoing problem with prostitutes ending up dead.
It’s a labouur city, is it any wonder!
Very sad
They should not work on the streets. there are licensed brothels
They have arrested a plasterer!
Quite right Diggy.
Remember how legalising prostitution was going to stop these poor women from walking the streets where they’re unsafe and have them working in nice safe brothels out of the wind and rain.
“She will remember Te Pania as a person would do anything for anyone.
“I remember once I had no money at all, she went out to the street for me and came back and gave me the cash so I could get food and cigarettes because I had no money.”
Cigarettes, the root of all evil.
Love her style.

Doorbells that are secretly filming you growing in popularity
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/doorbells-secretly-filming-you-growing-in-popularity?auto=6119960396001
Keeping your house safe while you’re away on holiday is a big issue at this time of year and now the answer may lie with high-tech doorbell security systems, which let you see all your visitors whether you’re at home, or at the beach.
Doorbell camera linked to your cell phone as intercom is becoming popular now they are cheaper.
Do you think that Cindy is running out of time for a wedding?
8wk christmas holiday. Back mid Feb.
May 15 aniversary. (the whole month)
Electioneering 3mths, starting July.
Overseas holidays and shopping trips.
Which leaves mid feb to end of april,
You mean March 15th ?
For a wedding?
Nothing would surprise me.
Nah she will spend a couple of weeks in Christchurch in March crying and hugging people in front of her army of cameras..
The Wedding will be just before the Election- There are rumours it will be so extravagant it will make Wills and Kate look second rate! Horse drawn carriages, Red Carpet celebrity guests etc etc…
(And guess who is stumping up the $$$? Yep the poor old taxpayer..)
How can the COL justify the taxpayer covering the cost of the wedding? Is it coming out of Labour’s electioneering taxpayer funded allocation? Labour have proven in the past with the “Pledge Card” they will screw the taxpayer any which way they can for a freebee! 🤑
The costs will come out of the live TV coverage, the hundreds of Police and Emergency Services Workers on duty, and (if rumours are to be believed) the cost of Queen Street being closed down during peak hours for our Princess to travel up it in a horse-drawn carriage….
If Jethro invites all his conquests to the wedding they will need a huge fleet of buses.
Will Richie Hardcore be the best man for First Fish?
Nah the lawnmower seller will be the best man.
Got to have supplies on hand to relieve the high levels of stress.
Just the fact that she’d organise a wedding in the run-up to an election shows how committed she is to the top job in the country.
#notmypm
Between all those luxurious overseas holidays and her maternity leave how many days has our supposed ‘Prime Minister’ actually worked in the last couple of years?? (For her MASSIVE taxpayer-funded salary)
The Nats need to publicise this before the Election- I suspect Joe Average would read the Stats and be horrified at how Socialism really works…
Did you guys know a 165hp motor, producing 221nm of torque on a 290kg frame goes like absolute farking stink? It is far, far too easy to do illegal speeds on that thing. I’m still trying to wipe the grin off my face.

Piers /Morgan jumps the shark!
Piers Morgan slams Scott Morrison for ‘dereliction of duty’ as Australian bushfires rage
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/entertainment/2020/01/piers-morgan-slams-scott-morrison-for-dereliction-of-duty-as-australian-bushfires-rage.html
“You’re facing one of the greatest crises you’ve ever faced and there is you Mr Kelly, with respect a senior politician, who still doesn’t think this has anything to do with a heating up planet,” Morgan said.
“Nothing to see here, nothing to worry about as virtually your entire country is eviscerated by fires – it is quite extraordinary.”
ScoMo could have started by responding “Yes we’re looking at bringing federal manslaughter charges against the environmental groups and regional councils who prevented controlled burnoffs. The reality is the outcomes of these fires could have been prevented and the deaths attributed to the blind ignorance of them environmentalists will be punished”
Well said Salacious Crumb!
Scott Morrison needs to push back against this bullshit Propaganda campaign from the Socialists- There are just as many people in NZ and Australia who see the truth and support him….
Just a suggestion but Cindy should get married on March 15th in Christchurch at the Riccarton Mosque. Appropriate don’t you think?
Another Socialist Cindy FAIL!
Bin liner sales rise as shoppers run out of free shopping bags
https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/food-wine/food-news/109952987/bin-liner-sales-boom-at-supermarkets-as-shoppers-run-out-of-free-shopping-bags?rm=a
” In an ironic twist, many families are finding they have swapped free plastic shopping bags, which had a double use as a shopping and rubbish bag, for bought plastic rubbish bin liners that only have one use.
The businessman said bin liner sales would increase because it was unrealistic to think that shoppers would wash bins out or line with newspaper instead of using plastic bags.
“We all know not everyone’s going to do that. They will just buy bin liners, so sales of bin liners have gone through the roof.”
No 1 pet peeve about the woke folk.
They feel absolutely right, about being absolutely wrong.
Yes, that why the supermarkets are always out of them.
The NZ regions where the most children have been excluded for taking weapons to school
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2020/01/the-nz-regions-where-the-most-children-have-been-excluded-for-taking-weapons-to-school.html
“In the Taranaki/Whanganui/Manawatu region in 2019, six were excluded for possessing or using a weapon, and five in Waikato. Exclusions in all other regions were less than five, the data shows.”
i cant wa’t for those slackers (Mps) to get back to work so that I can email all the gresn and Ardern
And tell them what is happening about plasctic bags.
Plastic is one of the world’s best inventions.
They single sue plastic bags were often re-used by people as bin lines, handy storage doggie liter etc etc.
I Don’t litter.
Soon gangs will e selling plastic bags on the street corner.
Ricky Gervais, man of the people
https://quillette.com/2020/01/06/ricky-gervais-man-of-the-people/
“In a room filled with self-absorbed narcissists, one brave, slightly less self-absorbed narcissist had the balls to speak truth to power—and his name is Ricky Gervais.”
“So I get it, Hollywood. If this happened to me after a single First Class flight, I can’t imagine what it must be like for you after a lifetime of warm nuts and constant flattery. It’s easy to understand how expensive gift bags and millions of dollars would make anyone feel qualified to lecture other people on public policy, private morality, global warming, or the complex geopolitical issues in the Middle East”
” Liberals may describe the current trends in politics in the West as Populism, but what we are really seeing is a growing schism in the Left between upper middle class, university educated, woke kids and the blue collar workers that made up the Left’s traditional base. Particularly in the Anglosphere, there is a wholesale rejection of the oppression olympics, cancel culture, the belief in omnipresent racism (amongst other -ism’s), trans kids as a concept and trans women as athletes.
Between them, Dave Chapelle, Ricky Gervais and a few other noteworthy comics such as Joe Rogan and Bill Burr, seem to have turned the flank of the other side of the Culture War. A recent Emerson poll put African American support of Trump at 34%, with Latino support even higher, so it can no longer be claimed that it is simply the case that the white working class “want their privilege back”. It turns out that many Americans, Brits and Australians love their country, don’t like it being denigrated and don’t appreciate the concept of a white male patriarchy, when they find themselves consistently the least powerful adult in their marriage, working hard in difficult jobs and struggling to pay the bills. Above all, the Left is not going to win any elections by insulting people, or calling them deplorables.
I don’t like the situation. Historically, I’ve always been somewhat sympathetic towards the Left, especially on social issues. It isn’t good for Democracy, when one side of the aisle disqualifies themselves from effective opposition. Hopefully, when President Trump is re-elected for his second term of office in November, it will lead to a greater degree of soul-searching across the Anglosphere- but I wouldn’t hold my breath.”
It’s been reported that the powerful American workers unions traditionally supporting the Democrats have switched sides behind President Trump. He has done more for the American blue collar worker in 3 years than the Dems have achieved in decades.
Trump for re-election 2020!

A friend of mine woke up this morning with a terrible hangover……to the sound of his neighbour mowing his lawns.
He said he was going to get up and give him a blasting.
Then he thought nah, fuck it….he can mow around me.
I had frost around me once. At least I knew where I had spent the night.
So the problem is virgin plastic?
https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/118607191/countdown-selling-shopping-baskets-after-plastic-bag-ban-makes-them-hot-property
So the convenience of going about your day without having to cart around a stupid basket. We have literally gone back in time to before the advent of the convenience of the plastic supermarket bag to carry your groceries home in. Don’t worry about how much you buy, we’ll supply the bags – Brilliant marketing! Now, thanks to the “Silly Little Girl” we are back to when *women* routinely carried a basket with them to bring their purchases home in. Silly woke virtue signalling PTPM listened to children – what do they know!!!
She might have said that she listened to the children but does she listen to anyone?
Went into Four Square in Picton today. Love Picton. Anyway, purchased 4 apples and grabbed a plastic bag off the large role hanging nearby. I thought hang on, aren’t plastic bags illegal now?
Only bags with handles are illegal. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Without handles lol. Yes, I see how that will make it better for the environment. Gota watch those handles. //
Yer, them semi automatic plastic bags with handles are really, really dangerouse!
I am sure that it has contributed to dog shit not being picked up
Nah, most dog people should know you can buy 250 child nappy bags for 99c from Pak n Save. Scented, cheap and perfect for poop on a walk. Not bio degradable, but hey. Jacinda, right?
If this is not Political Bias and One News campaigning for Labour and Jacinda Ardern you would have to be
Politically naive.

This is a fucking disgrace from our corrupt media and Journalists.
12 months since 15 March? So we’re going to be bombarded 7 weeks shy. They must be desperate to promote the “darling of the left” 🤢 if they are beginning the build-up this far out. She hasn’t aged well if that photo was less than 3 years ago.
Yes, Electioneering by Taxpayer funded TV has begun:
“On the face of it, Ardern should be a shoo-in. She has the benefit of incumbency in a country that has returned every first-term government for over 40 years.
The Kiwi economy is purring above OECD averages and boasts low unemployment. And a spending reticence has allowed the government to build up a bumper surplus, which it will release into the economy during the election year.
But it’s never as easy as it seems. The opposition National party is ahead of Labour in many polls, even if leader Simon Bridges has yet to build a rapport with voters.”
That is absolutely terrible.
Fucking disgrace alright

Cue the ‘concerned environmentalists’ complete with banners and media! Oh, wait no, they’re too busy protesting against the ‘possible’ intention to resume ‘controlled burn-offs’… Not actually helping in the reconcostruction of the areas or families burn-out by the blazes, but protesting to ‘protect gaia’, before returning to their inner-city homes in Sydney, Melbourne or Canberra.
