New survey ranks NZ most and least affordable cities
***
Hugh Pavletich, a Christchurch-based survey co-author, said his city had a lot to offer to house buyers.
“Christchurch house prices are now about half Auckland levels. No wonder the Greater Christchurch population is growing faster at 2 per cent or around 10,000 people per annum compared to Auckland’s 1.5 per cent or 25,000 people per annum,” Pavletich said.
The flight to affordability meant people were drawn to Christchurch and earthquakes were not seen as a major deterrent to the move, he said.
***
For people thinking of moving to Christchurch, earthquakes may or may not be a deterrent, but the prospect of being stuck in the same city as Hugh Pavletich may cause some people to consider alternative locations! Kiwiblog readers
who suffer from long-term Pavletich-itis will understand!
As long as they out “No circulars” on their mailboxes they’ll be allright.
The prospect of bumping into well known Godbotherer, archaeologist, travel writer & nascent politician John Stringer may too restrict mass immigration to the City of Fallen Cathedrals. 🙂
Nasska:
You forgot to mention John Stringer’s weird series of political crosswords. Goodness only knows why DPF agreed to put them up on Kiwiblog.
The South Island can be unforgiving – one wrong turn and you could find yourself in Dunedin with the beige badger who calls himself Pete George *shudder*
yep. Thank goodness he hasn’t travelled here.
City of the damned.
I know, I lived there for a loooooong time.
Never again.
Where is Winston Peters, missing in action again after his rant when forming the Coalition about how our Defence Force had been seriously underfunded by the previous Government. Defence Force order to cut spending to help lift New Zealanders wellbeing. Top Ministers have ordered a deep dive into Defence Force spending in a bid to”lift” the wellbeing of New Zealanders. Where has all the money gone from the Twelve Billion Dollars you have borrowed or is this to help the lolly scramble leading up to this years Election.
Is Whiney back in rehab for his “rugby” injury?
Hi ED
Annother great piece of copy writing.
How many is a Brazilan?
More than his fingers and toes so Jethro can’t tell you.
It didn’t make sense to me until I sounded it out.
Helps to say it with a lisp 😆
Can someone please ask Jethro how Jacinda compares to some of the others on a scale of 1 to 10?
Does she wear those socks in bed?
Do those teeth hurt?
Why would you want to know that? Moreover, why do you care what happens in another couple’s bedroom?
I was just asking for a friend
You know it was only a joke
Jacinda is no joke unfortunately
there is a possiblilty of course that like so many egotists it was all talk.
Haven’t seen many SLG’s put their hands up and say “I was one. It was so much fun”.
They probably want to be below the radar when the Sroubek/Hardcore lawn mowing franchise sees a bit more sunshine.
Aviation consultant and former Air New Zealand executive Irene King said Foran should try make headway towards allowing Air New Zealand to depreciate its aircraft faster.
This was an accounting method used by Singapore Airlines and allowed for faster fleet renewal which resulted in a more modern, fuel efficient aircraft being added to a fleet, she said.
“Singapore Airlines can write off a brand new 777 in four years. Under our regime it takes about 15 to 20 years.”
Faster fleet renewal created an improved and more affordable customer experience and would make Air New Zealand more competitive internationally, she said.
“It has such a significant impact on pricing.
“It actually does change the competitive dynamics.”
Airfares could potentially be hundreds of dollars cheaper when aircraft were depreciated faster, she said.
“You’re talking significant changes in competitive advantage.”
However, it would be no mean feat and would require some major changes at a regulatory level that would need to be approved by Treasury and be ring fenced to aircraft, she said.

=======================================================================
Now the reason I posted this is that I have been advocting this approach for 30 years. Not just for Air nz who should not be given special priviledges but for all businesses.
For years now people like Reddell and Brash and others have talked about productivity. Well you acheive that not with old outdated equipment but with the latest.
For companies that can afford to be up to date then that’s fine but if you have to borrow against your house to upgrade plant or mortgage your self to a finance company then the choices are a lot tougher.
allowing greater depreciation means the money is there for the company to use.
Better still it means the unproductive and the jobs filled by jobsworths stop endangering the health of companies. Think MPI, Worksafe and so on.
The only exception that I would make to this rule is for company vehicles. Too many non productives using their advantage to b uy new vehicles which are essentially non productive. Indeed the maximium depreciatable allowance I think should be allowed to a car ir a ute is $40k. No reason why high priced cars should be depreciable unless they are directly used as income earners and the lawyers Merc ain’t one of those.
Much gear is now computerized and that stuff goes out of date so quickly.
Otherwise everything that is plant and equipment should qualify.
The other positive to this is we would reduce the need to import more people. Given the current status of NZ accommodation that could only be good. The dopes would argue where will the money come from. Well cut the wasteful spending, remove the barriers to better workplaces, remove perhaps the RMA!
Lets get our businesses really motivated.
What’s been happening in Napier, folks?
Does the Minister of Police know?
Does the minister of police care?
Does the minister of police,police the police?
Nashs ego is sooooo big he keeps tripping over it. Dont like him, never have.
Apparently his constituents, under his watch as police minister, have decided they have nothing to fear from bringing gang warfare into the street in town in the middle of the day. Guns and all. It doesn’t matter whether those firearms were legally owned (sniggers) or not. The fact that they were used in such a manner means the police have go and get them. Now get off you arse Nash, you sorry sack of shit, and sort it out. You asked honest firearm owner to surrender their rifles. Now do your part.
I thought Gangs had ‘turned the corner’ and were no longer involved in Crime? Preferring to help in the Community etc
Well that’s what our Left Wing MSM tells us anyway….
Yeah running DOC campsites and the like. Philanthropic lot that they are.
Got to do something at the moment as no school lunches to make
I went to the dentist this morning about 50 metres from where the Taradale confrontation was yesterday.
Couldn’t see any bullet holes anywhere and McDonalds operating as normal.
The Mob and BP have been arguing over Taradale for a while.
Hey this is our patch , no it’s ours.They spoil what is normally a decent village atmosphere.
As for Nash well…………………..
Hay, you can always go to Shell if you don’t like BP!
Why is RNZ reporting naughty things about Shane?
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/407677/nz-first-linked-company-in-government-loan-bid-says-it-met-with-shane-jones
I guess the breakup of the COL had to start sometime. What better time than when the drunken dwarf is absent.
Been waiting for this one to fire up again. Hope Gobby and the Dwarf get to squirm over this. Something rotten in the State of Northland.
yes, we need to keep the pressure on N First, to get them under 5%, and hope that some of their voters will move to the right.
A win win situation
Or unable participate!
Alleged Christchurch gunman among the first to read royal commission’s report
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2020/01/alleged-christchurch-gunman-among-the-first-to-read-royal-commission-s-report.html
The man accused of the Christchurch mosque shootings will be one of the first to see draft sections of the report compiled by the royal commission investigating the attacks.
As well as reading parts of the draft report, Brenton Tarrant will also have the opportunity to respond before the final copy is handed to the Governor-General at the end of April.
University of Waikato law professor Al Gillespie said the inquiry would fail to do its job if it did not speak to the Australian national.
“It’s about how he came here, it’s about what he was doing here … it’s about his use of social media and it’s about the communities he interacted with.
“To answer that second part of the terms of reference you must talk to that man.”
Will they ask him about how easy it was to fool the police into giving him a firearms licence? No, thought not.
The Royal Commission report will say what Socialist Cindy’s agenda determined is necessary.
The “Deep State” that she happily complies with.
The government, lead by PM Ardern, determined to press ahead with mindless, impactive and costly legislation legislative change without awaiting the Report from a Royal Commission of Enquiry appointed to consider the issue the government used to generate change.
That was not open or transparent. That undertaking was quickly lost sight of.
Her return to ‘work’ and the media’s miraculously coincide.
And sign off on 3,000 rounds of ammo. I suppose some people blast away a lot of the stuff, but it might have at least raised an eyebrow.
He belonged to a club, is that amount that unusual?
Well he bought it rather than loading it, so at say $2 a pop it’s a pretty meaningful transaction. But maybe it’s not unusual at all.
Mr Gillespie –talking to the guy and letting him review the report before it goes to the GG are two TOTALLY DIFFERENT things.
With Gillespie’s form of logic they might as well get Tarrant to write the report.
Ross12 how do you really know he didn’t write it? Wouldn’t surprise me at all.
Then it would have to be banned like the manifesto
The goal was, and is, to remove your guns.
If something should happen to him, whilst in custody or being transported, more of our rights will be stripped.
It’s a slow and painful process for us to watch.
Climate change erosion is a tactic used to conceal human rights erosion.
The sheeple are refusing to wake up.
When Ardern became Labour leader I did some Google research on this Clarke Gayford character.
There were multiple articles and interviews about his ..erm… ‘Love Life’ (Including plenty of bragging from the man himself)
I find it fascinating that these articles seem to have now been ‘scrubbed’ from the Internet.
We live in North Korea folks..
Yes, I never read up on that at the time.
I heard about his bragging, but never looked it up or saw a video
I must admit, that I’d like to now.
I wonder how, or who or why they “scrub” the internet
Little folk like us are told ‘The internet is forever’ etc etc and there is nothing we can do about our own previous indiscretions…
Clearly not if you are affiliated with the most corrupt Government in New Zealand History!
It’s amazing what a Labour party membership card can do!
Do the cards come in red for plebs, gold for not plebs?
Try using a search engine other than google. I tried DuckDuckGo and came up with a long list of interesting entries!
Thanks for that I use Duck Duck Go as my default search engine
I used to admire Google, now I despise them.

False tsunami warning sends seaside residents into panic
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2020/01/false-tsunami-warning-sends-seaside-residents-into-panic.html
A technical fault had some North Island residents in a tsunami panic overnight.
“The tsunami sirens are going off from Waihi to Papamoa along the whole [Bay of Plenty] coast, been going for 15mins,” one resident told Newshub in an email.
“People all panicked at the moment.”
Another person, on Twitter, said it sounded “like chaos”.
“How can people have any trust in a system like this?”
The National Emergency Management Agency said it doesn’t operate tsunami sirens in some of the affected areas.”
To the outfit that wrongly set the tsunami alarms out loud; Please get a copy of Aesop’s Fables; more particularly the one about “The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf”.
It is essential, if you are to retain a skerrick of credibility, that the cause of this monstrous stuff up be reported in full, without any piss weak excuses.
This is a simple solution to lack of access to water when fighting rural fires. Effective and practical idea.
Central Otago farmer comes up with simple idea to help firefighters in an emergency
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/central-otago-farmer-comes-up-simple-idea-help-firefighters-in-emergency?auto=6124699920001
A Central Otago farmer has attached a fire hose fitting to his irrigation system, meaning firefighters would be able to source water more quickly in an emergency.
Great idea but it is a pity the article had to be ruined with the politician’s reference to climate change.
We need to stop spending money on bludgers well being
And more on our defense forces.
Yes, Act’s policy of putting time limits on benefits seems reasonable.
Kill two birds with one stone; two years compulsory military training for bludgers who are fit and able. Would break some of them and sort some of them out. But at least it would provide a chance for a lot of those (and I’m thinking youth) who haven’t known discipline, and sense of achievement. Those who don’t make it go back where they came from, but they were going to be a drain on society anyway.
No just keep them training, running every day, PE etc etc.
It will soon wake them up and get them fit.
Then they wlil be begging to try and get a job.
What would our military do? Apart from prociding Ardern with another means to subjugate us?
Great to see Britain slipping the leash, and being given its head.
So many things to sort out, but the it is full on and that should spread to many other parts of the UK. 🙂
EU has recently threatened to block the City of London from its financial markets unless it continues with regulatory alignment.
However, even Remainers such as former chancellor George Osborne and outgoing Governor of the Bank of England Mark Carney have warned against continued close alignment.
During the interview, Mr Javid was asked how the UK will trade with the EU outside of Customs Union rules, with the chancellor observing: “Japan sells cars to the EU but they don’t follow EU rules.”
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/01/18/chancellor-tells-uk-businesses-there-will-be-no-alignment-with-eu-rules/
Great to see that they are cutting through the crap.
Now MAGA, for NZ., and so much crap to cut away.
Can ACT show the lead, if we can just get a roll going. 🙂
Yes, Boris and two of his senior ministers have said we are leaving and with no EU rules and regulations on 31st January
Merkel and that dutch woman will be apoplectic!
Laptops stolen from National Party headquarters in Auckland – Paula Bennett
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/01/laptops-stolen-from-national-party-headquarters-in-auckland-paula-bennett.html
She told Magic Talk three laptop computers were taken from the offices in Epsom.
“It looks like they’ve jimmied a window and come in through there which of course… triggered alarms. They’ve grabbed laptops and run.”
She said as the headquarters is “down underneath – it’s quite an unusual place”, she suspects the theft was targeted.
Paula is leading the electioral campaign for the National Party this year. Are the left so worried they would do a “Watergate” to find out the National Party election strategy???
I hope that had them backed up!
They say they were encrypted.
But National still to access the data.
This will not look good for the left!
” Are the left so worried they would do a “Watergate” to find out the National Party election strategy???”
National have an Election Strategy?
“National have an Election Strategy?”
“He (Goldsmith) said the party was waiting on police to investigate the scene.
“A lot of New Zealanders suffer from crime and so those sorts of events happen. It’s interesting, we’ve got to look at the details here, but what we’ve seen is only laptops been stolen. There are other things in the room that could’ve been stolen that weren’t.”
National having an election strategy or not, the burglary does look very suspicious! 🤨
I wait with great anticipation to hear Nationals election strategy. Ready when you are, Simon.
Well it won’t be NZF pinching the National laptops, none of them could move fast enough to get in the window, pinch laptop, get back out the window and dissappear before plod turns up!
Must be Labour and the Greens!
To have a strategy nyou first have to know what you stand for.
The Nat. haven’t known that since Bolger fucked it up.
“A decent society” buwhahahhaa, whatever, Spud. Waste of space was our Jimbo B.

Sappho Award in Denmark for Tommy Robinson.
“awarded to a person who has shown uncompromising courage in the struggle for the free word.”
His speech shows the value, the fight, to keep “free speech”.
That “rough diamond” has polished up very well and cuts through a lot of the nonsense.
Thank you Tommy Robinson!
Abbreviated “Tommy Robinson’s acceptance speech at Free Press Society award ceremony in Denmark”
https://www.vbox7.com/play:c10a4bdaad
3 minutes 38 seconds.
Speech starts at the 30 second mark.
After 3 minutes it then focuses on the opposition to TR,
There is a 1 hour 16 minute full speech.
Because of heightened security the sound is an echo room, that makes even auto subtitling a little difficult.
I have been trying to find a good copy of the video and in particular the transcript of his full speech.
It can be linked to here through EnglishReview if it is still up.
censored by Facebook with the message:
“Your post is against the fellowship rules regarding dangerous persons or organizations”
The chairman of the Free speech org, Trykkefrihedsselskabet, put out a link to the event on Facebook. And was suspended not only 30 days but permanently.
But as Lars Hedigaard says: “Better to die than shut up”.
https://www.newenglishreview.org/blog_direct_link.cfm?blog_id=69076
This “free speech” will be the fight of our lives!
Many thanks to Ed.
Just a part of the speech that announced the award to TR..
What is it that Tommy Robinson has done that is so dreadful that the ruling classes are almost all unanimous in wanting to remove him from the public sphere and making of him a non-person in line with dissidents during the Soviet era?
It is, upon scrutiny, very difficult to see:
as an Islam critic, he has, for many years, pointed out the negative social and cultural consequences of the growing population change that is taking place in England these years. A population change which is causing more and more conflict in the UK community – with Islam at its core.
As a street journalist, he has uncovered a number of cases representing the rising social problems and inequalities in English society.
He has tirelessly covered the lawsuits in the wake of the grooming scandals, and thus also maintained that all these horrific abuses against British girls down to the age of 13 were not only committed almost exclusively by Muslim men, but he has also highlighted the horrifying fact that British authorities for years, chose to turn a blind eye to these abuses – rather than risk being called racists by intervening.
He has furthermore organized freedom of speech rallys – one of those, “The Day for Freedom rally”, we in the Free Press Society also participated in.
None of this is controversial from a democratic perspective. None of what Tommy Robinson has said has been anti-democratic, has glorified violence, nor been racist or totalitarian.
On the contrary.
We at the Free Press Society have dealt with Tommy Robinson in depth, and we have never come across any statement or agenda that falls outside the Democratic purview.
On the contrary, democracy and free speech is the very foundation underpinning all of Tommy Robinson’s work. He fights for democracy in a free and open English society. The kind of society under which he grew up, but which is now under intense pressure and threat of eroding altogether.

Ok I have been a long time fan of TR.
and yes I do note he was not perfect, but that rough diamond in principle has polished up very well. 🙂
Kelvin Davis is having organisms over the Prison Numbers dropping in Otago. You may be able to achieve a target and gloat on it , but it won’t stop crime by giving career criminals that rob peoples dignity and life long memories of things that are thieved from there dwellings.
https://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/numbers-drop-otago-prison
It doesn’t mater whether it is assault, murder or petty crime it causes emotional problems that many can’t or recover from and because Labour and the Coalition don’t give a fuck about the victim and is more interested in saving money and the well being of the criminal they are happy.
NZ-Britain free trade agreement on the agenda as minister travels to World Economic Forum
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/nz-britain-free-trade-agreement-agenda-minister-travels-world-economic-forum
Trade Minister David Parker is heading for the United Kingdom and Europe tomorrow, with a UK free trade agreement and the World Trade Organisation on his agenda.
The World Economic Forum runs from 22-24 January in Davos, Switzerland. While there, Mr Parker will participate as a panellist on Trade, Environment and Global Value chains.
He will also hold bilateral meetings with trade counterparts, attend a Swiss-hosted WTO mini-ministerial, a “Cairns Group” meeting of nations advocating for greater agricultural trade liberalisation, and a Canada-hosted “Ottawa Group” session on WTO reform.
I will defintley not be voting for Act
Their new slogan is Make Aeteetarower Great Again
David Seymour really is a soft wimpy looking schoolboy
Its New Conservatives all the way for me!
Nor do I listen to Peter Maori names Williams!
You may have a point DN15 as the maori used and accepted the name for over a hundred years.
Nlu Tireni
Other times they were a bit lost out on the oceans, looking for clouds where land may be.
The phrase is not great – it can rub people the wrong way for more than one reason.
David was at least aware on RNZ that he was being interviewed and has additional interest in his state of the nation address as a result. He IS correct that people wouldnt have paid attention if it was called ‘David Seymour talks state of the nation’. So a bit of trolling for attention?
But at the same time, Nah, I dont like it at all. Don’t need to borrow from Trumpy. Plays to the critics and those who want to look for Alt-Right in NZ. Poorly thought out.
Swing and a miss.
But it doesnt make me think any different about the fact that ACT /David is the lone opposition in NZ. Freedom of Speech, and no confiscation of private property, personal resposibility, etc.
In addition: As far as poor choice or tarnished branding – “New Conservatives” are a fail on a ever greater magnitude.
Colin Craig party 2.0?
Their party name shows permanent fail on a scale far worse than ACT-MAGA for a once-off event. And these guys are at their roots happy-clappy Christians I believe, so they are still idealists rather than pragmatists. People who are swayed by dogma instead of debate. Not a fan of any party which is based upon religion really.
And much as I like what I hear from the NC Deputy Leader, these guys are so far from relevant, that any claims around leaving the Paris Accord are pure fantasy. You need to be able to be elected, and work in a coalition, which means pragmatism and debate.
So dream on, and no need to remind us again and again that you are voting NC and won’t be voting ACT.
Heard you. 😉
The A had to come from somewhere for MAGA to work
Go and meet the man. You are totally wrong, he is the exact opposite of what you describe.
If Labour and Grant Robertson wants to save money
He could look at all the working groups
All the social welfare groups and organizations – lots of them all with moari names that we don’t know what they do all the extra bureaucrats in Wellington
Start a real war on drugs and improve our well being.
Defence of our border should be the first prioridy of any and every government.
Dont need any defence…”NZ is living in a benign environment”, remember.
I get the distinct whiff of clarkula pulling the strings here with regard to cutting defence spending. Just cant help herself.
Go and haunt a fucking house if you have so much time on ya hands hulun.
Defence?
Going, going, gone; long gone to the highest bidder.
The supporters of Winston Peters of New Zealand First pulled down the first line of defense in New Zealand.
He gave sovereignty of NZ to the UN Global Migration Pact!, simultaneously selling out “free speech”.
This was approved by many, not only the CoL but academia, judiciary, media, and many politicians.
Save money frorm defence
I thought we had a big surplus!
Robinsons figures are as bent as him and his boyfriend.
‘Negative ratings are off the scale’: Is Simon Bridges National’s very own David Cunliffe?
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/01/negative-ratings-are-off-the-scale-is-simon-bridges-national-s-very-own-david-cunliffe.html
“Sometimes it’s impossible to understand why people like someone or dislike them. [Cunliffe] never clicked. I don’t think Simon has clicked yet. He may do.”
Cunliffe was popular with the Labour Party membership, who elevated the former Cabinet minister to the party leadership in 2013, but didn’t have the same support from his caucus colleagues. He led Labour into the 2014 election, which was a disaster – the party falling to its lowest level of support since the 1920s.”
The left and MSM are working hard to discredit Simon. He may not be the most dynamic, I have had trouble with his leadership but they are attacking him for their own ends, so Socialist Cindy, their poster girl has a clear run to a glittering re-election result.
Silent T was doomed after he apologised for being a man. Nampy pampy panty wearer.
David, using “Aoteraroa” is just being Woke for the virtue signallers!! Are they even potentially like to vote Act??
David Seymour uses Make Aotearoa Great Again slogan, denies embracing Donald Trump’s ideas
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/01/david-seymour-uses-make-aotearoa-great-again-slogan-denies-embracing-donald-trump-s-ideas.html
Seymour has announced a “Make Aotearoa Great Again” event for Waitangi Day – a clear reference to Trump’s theme for his 2016 presidential campaign.
Seymour told Morning Report that the MAGA message was probably the most successful campaign slogan of the last few years.
Because America and Aotearoa both begin with A “we thought we’d have a bit of fun”, Seymour said.
No David, The slogan doesn’t work!
MAGA: MAKE ARDERN GO AWAY – Now, that works!! ☑️
Yes WG
MAGA is already taken in New Zealand
I have my red hat to prove it
Come along, we can poke him about it 🙂
Poke the woke?
“Poke the woke”
That will be useful in the run-up to the election 😂
Look what happened when a Labour chief of staff tried that Rachael….
They obviously weren’t woke enough. Does that mean asleep?
ACT has just lost any chance of getting my vote. This stupid MAGA ‘Ayowteearoer’ slogan is nothing but a poorly thought out rip-off of Trump’s brilliant idea. It’s corny and it demonstrates a complete lack of creative ability. The man’s a fool and even worse, he takes us for fools too. Idiot.
New Conservatives for me.
David Seymour believes in man made climate change
I don’t
He also can’t think of his own slogan and copies Donal Trumps
What an immature school boy
So long as DS doesnt steal Donald Trumps slogans Dig, Im happy.
You dont like DS do ya Dig.
No its not that I don’t like him
Its just that I think he has had so many chances and blown it.
ACT’s votes keep going down
He has all the charisma of a dead fish
He is also pushing Euthanasia
Half of NZ don’t want it
He should stay away from that sort of issue if he wants to lead a party.
I was thinking maybe the idea of using that ‘rower’ name (that I cant stand) may not be such a good idea.
The lefties may commandeer it to suit their own agenda.
If it is done in Labour red it will fit lefty party events.
I can see the likes of Kelvin Davis wearing one.
Just like Labour voting against the change of flag referendum. 🙂
The average of 21 polls on this is 68% in favour. One poll showed near even support for the legislation, with 57% in favour. You wouldn’t rely on one poll only because you’re pushing a point, would you Dig?
Either way, no way no how is 43% half. And you and your New Conservatives can fuck off out of my personal choice. If I make a decision in my will to have the machines turned off when I am suffering, have no hope of recovery and am likely to die within 6 months then that is my choice. Not yours. You’re not paying my bills, you’re not my wife having to deal with that type of shit.
When you marry me and help me pay the bills, then you get to have a say in my life.
Well said my man.
Same thing over and over again.
Women in power abuse it. Vanity, money, bugger the people.
Isabel dos Santos: Africa’s richest woman ‘ripped off Angola’

Huge Pay-For-Play Scandal Embroils Oregon Democrats, As Big Donor Law Firms Are Awarded State Contracts
The corruption is running so deep in Oregon that even NPR affiliate Oregon Public Broadcasting is calling out the democrats. Left-oggling OPB can usually be counted on to protect and make excuses for the democrats, but reporter Dirk VanderHart has uncovered an elaborate pay-for-play scandal involving several law firms from across the country who get contracts with Oregon agencies after contributing large sums of money to the politicians.

Shane Jones gives the greenies a boot up the arse!
Is this the end of the COL?
Will Whiney raise his head above the parrapet?
What for Sooty?
……” Jones was critical of what he described as the “absolutism” which he said was “infecting” the climate-change debate in New Zealand.
“Absolutism is what you hear from bible bashers,” he said.
“Absolutism is what we saw in the medieval days of putting people on the rack because there was an absolute sense of conviction that their perspective was the only perspective.” “……

Don’t do this to me Shane. Every time I write your fuckhead boss & idiot co-MPs off for the wankers they are you come out & say what the rest of us know but our mealy-mouthed employees in Parliament refuse to state.
Jeez Nass. Do I sense a tinge of endearment for the podgie one?
I have been reading some blogs where Maori are becoming very aware of whats going on politically, and they don’t like it one bit.
Like I said. By being about the only one with sufficient guts to call a spade a fucking shovel he makes it difficult to ignore him! 🙂
Yes, I agree with him and MPs need to say it but I still wouldn’t trust him as far as little old me could throw him!! Shane does make sense occasionally but mostly he is a self-serving, entitled and racist blow-hard.
Can you think of one of the 120 no hopers you’d trust with the change from down the back of the settee?
NOPE! None on the left anyway.
I reckon Paul Goldsmith would hand your coins back. 😊
I think Naaska is right. All the men in politics are gawky simps, kowtowing to the chosen one.

The writing was on the wall for men when the feminists managed to change the way pupils at our schools & colleges were assessed. It is well documented that males do better in exams whereas girls do better in assessments involving day to day learning.
That was all it took to ensure that boys became labourers & girls became graduates. We’re now reaping the whirlwind.
When men are constantly labelled misogynists for calling out feminist bullshit, sometimes a woman calls out the real bitches, and it feels pretty good.
Meghan’s PR stunts can’t gloss over reality of her behaviour
It’s the poor, sweet, benighted ladies of the Grenfell soup kitchen I feel sorry for, who have been repeatedly duped into smiling and nodding as the duchess sweeps in to pretend to cook rice on yet another of her many content-gathering missions.

It happens closer to home. Anecdotally, when PriNZess flew up to Whakatane to get her mug in the publicity shenanigans after the White Island tragedy what we saw in the sycophantic papers & TV was about as far from fact as a frog from feathers.
The choreography would lead us to believe that the PTPM called into the HQ to offer sympathy. Instead, according to someone who was present she entered the room, singled out a victim, threw her arms around the unfortunate & unwilling female until the cameras had rolled, then turned heel, scowled & exited.
The MSM are enablers & scum.
I don’t think she has made a hospital visit to any of the very burnt folk…..bit too real, I suspect.
Scandalous part 2.

Here’s Shane’s comments on Maori radio
Shane Jones unleashes on ‘bible-bashing’ climate change activists
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/01/shane-jones-unleashes-on-bible-bashing-climate-change-activists.html
“New Zealand First MP and Minister Shane Jones has berated climate change activists for promoting the importance of reduced meat consumption, comparing their campaigns to “eco bible-bashing”.
In an interview with Radio Waatea on Monday, Jones likened activists to “medieval torture chamber workers” hellbent on “preaching this gospel of absolutism”.
“He noted that “standing up for industry” is not always hand-in-hand with “denying the existence of changing climate and changing weather”.
“Yet Jones’ kitchen won’t be stocked with beans and rice anytime soon, the Minister adamantly saying he “won’t be desisting from eating copious amounts of kaimoana [seafood] or meat”.
“That’s how I grew up.”
Oh God, now Dig will want to vote for New Zealand First because Shane is manly and opposes climate change.
… Shane is such a great example of a healthy specimen. 😂
Fat corrupt bastard. Heart attack waiting to happen. More Chins than a Chinese phone book.
No wonder he was carted off in an ambulance recently.
A excellent squirrel from Jones to deflect from the forestry scandal. Ya gotta larf.
Yep, kick them greenies in the arse!

Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear. New details to hand on the cops losing firearms from Palmy station at Anzac weekend. Two cops caught the guy in the act. But wait for it. . . .
“I drew my police pistol and pointed it at him and called: ‘Stop, armed police, put the gun down,'”
“Harris just looked at Guy and Harding and loaded two guns into his car before driving off.”
And we wonder why they won’t raid gang pads. FS.
Just shoot the fucker!
The cops are like school yard bullies.
They won’t be mean to people who will be mean back.
They will only pick on those that wont fight back.
Will be an interesting fire works display.
