  3. Our health system iso good that we don’t need to scan anyone coming in to NZ for Corona virus.
    Some official idiot says our risk is low

    • Could be a little too late by the time they get a seat in Government DigNap15. Then again. this could be as bad as the Bird flue and swine flue of several years ago, and not as bad as first thought. maybe?? maybe not why would they risk it aye??.

    On the ladder: Milking job paid for first house by 19th birthday

    His mum asked what he wanted to do when he left school, and he told her he wanted to have his own house before his 21st birthday. “One night at the dinner table Mum and Dad talked about how hard it was getting to buy.

    “I thought if I start saving now, it might not be so hard and they helped me make a budget.”

  11. A new study found that people who take their coffee black are more likely to exhibit psychopathic traits.
    And people who order a quad shot, non-fat, vanilla soy, extra foam, light whip with caramel drizzle are more likely to be their victims.

            • Interesting you should say that.
              Yesterday, after another 10 hr work day, I needed to get a prescription filled.
              Across the road from the chemist is a McDonalds. I saw, what in my estimation, was a 5ft 5″, 122.6 kg tent model, wearing a pair of two size too small, jeans, exit the fast food outlet.
              Under her left arm she carried a young tot by the waist, screaming and kicking.
              With her right arm outstretched, in her hand, with pinky raised, she carried her cache of essential life giving sustenance.
              Yep. I sure appreciate seeing the gluttony I am paying for.

    Inside the Chinese lab poised to study world’s most dangerous pathogens

    A laboratory in Wuhan is on the cusp of being cleared to work with the world’s most dangerous pathogens. The move is part of a plan to build between five and seven biosafety level-4 (BSL-4) labs across the Chinese mainland by 2025, and has generated much excitement, as well as some concerns.
    “It will offer more opportunities for Chinese researchers, and our contribution on the BSL‑4-level pathogens will benefit the world,” says George Gao, director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Key Laboratory of Pathogenic Microbiology and Immunology in Beijing. There are already two BSL-4 labs in Taiwan, but the National Bio-safety Laboratory, Wuhan, would be the first on the Chinese mainland.

  13. Cindy’s sexism – apparent for all to see

    So the year starts with commie chic Cindy showing her neo-liberal colours by blatantly discriminating against feminist icon and pregnant bike riding watermelon Julie-Anne “No! It’s purely a coincidence that my husband’s company is getting government transport contracts now that I’m an Associate Transport Minister” Gender oops GENTER.

    After JAG’s brilliant and highly successful handling of the extraordinarily well-managed and contained measles epidemic, it’s clear signs of blatant sexism that Cindy puts a male in charge of the Chinky flu apocalypse. It’s obviously sexism that’s caused this because no one in their right mind would imagine that David “tits for hands” Clark has been given the job because he’s more competent than the “most open and transparent evah” Genter woman. Admittedly, it is a tough call to actual measure who is more pathetically useless out of the two of them – but that just lends weight to my argument that it is sexism.

    But it’s OK, Cindy wants us to believe that she “Never told a lie in politics and doesn’t think there’s a need to” because she’s signing up to the infinitely corrupt and lying Facebook ‘transparency tool’. And of course, all of us sheeple are supposed to believe her because she pulled her droopy ’empathy’ face when trying that bullshit on. We’re supposed to forget that all her social media kiddy friends have spent the last 10 years censoring anyone who they consider to be 1mm rightof Stalin.

    If only we had an electable leader of the opposition 🙁

    https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2020/01/live-facial-recognition-cameras-to-survey-london.html

    British police are to start operational use of live facial recognition (LFR) cameras in London, despite warnings over privacy from rights groups and concerns expressed by the government’s own surveillance watchdog.

    First used in the capital at the Notting Hill carnival in 2016, the cameras will alert police when they spot anyone on “wanted” lists.

  15. The coronavirus – mental health outbreak – is far worse than I understood.

    Millions of stupid people have succumb to mass hysteria over 26 people dying- while ignoring the tens of thousands dying from garden variety seasonal flu.

    I think infected imbeciles should be euthanized to prevent it spreading and contaminating humanity with stupidity.

  16. In-bred brother of pedophile Prince, father of ginga future McDonald burger flipper let’s down the UK again

    Big fucking mistake from the moron the Queen is resolutely staying alive for all she’s worth to keep off the throne. It’s great to see an example of how the UK monarchy will come to an end once Chucky – the man who wants to be a tampon – becomes King.

    Trump knows who is friends are and he is unforgiving with his enemies. The Queen got on like a house on fire with Trump over dinner and clearly Chucky is deeply threatened by that relationship. As is so often the case it seems to me to boil down to a religious problem – Chucky is a huge devotee of the Climate Apocolypse (despite spewing 6 tonnes of CO2 to get to Davos – fucking hypocrite) and the US is proving daily that the Paris Accord and man-made global warming is a huge con.

    Trump will exact revenge for this and it’ll hurt all of the UK, Proof once again that the last person the UK needs on the throne is tampon man. What a dickhead.

  17. If you want to see what a fascist organisation FB is then watch this.

    Thanks to Simpleton1 for posting a couple of days ago. Watched with fascination and growing alarm for our freedom of speech. The head of FB in Denmark makes some alarming claims as to why Tommy Robinson was banned as he is clearly seen by the establishment left as an uneducated yob, a major “deplorable” who must be shut down for the sake of their global order. The Streisand effect has meant the plotters against him have had trouble achieving their goals of shutting him down.

    • Look at what came out in the investigation into the conspiracy theory that Trump was working for Russia.

      It 100% proved FB tried to influence the election along with other social media.

      Propaganda and censorship works on most people. Just look at the lies told about world war 2.

      That needs a lot more showing.
      An understanding about TR and making him an example, but his perseverance, has exposed the media’s tricks.

      It is more widespread, and so alarming when thinking how the media seek to control on many other discussions, debates. and issues

          I think I sort of know what has happened.
          The video somehow starts at the end, then goes to the next video.

          I have just tried it, and fortunately for me, it goes into replay action so it starts again for me.

          It is funny though googling the name of the video, and plus utube, and Tommy Robinson and seeing the articles of problems about all this censorship.

          Will look later for another link to post, but must be out and about now.

  19. Looks like the Red Cross have created a massive negative “image” of themselves with their handling of the money raised for bush fire victims. I do not think this will go away in a hurry. All they have done, in a very big open way, is confirm what many have thought about these big charity organisations, for a long time, when it comes to handling donations.

    I think the Aussie Red Cross could be open to a fraud case –if you say you are raising money via donations for the bush fire victims and then say, once a large part of that money is raised, that a significant amount will be put into reserves for future events or administration then to me that is fraudulent action.

    This a shame because they (normally the volunteers) have done some great work over the years.

    • Philanthropy is a tax dodge for the rich.
      I’ve given a lot to charities in the past. I woke up. No more.
      Why the hell would anybody hand their hard earned cash to an organisation, to hire a financial phlebotomist, to pay a wealthy diplomat to eat meat, fly to his neighbours house, encourage his daughters best friend to plat her hair and stand at big peoples meetings to complain about the summer heat, during winter.

    • I was talking to my Aunty in AU last weekend and she was telling me people are waking up to the Red Cross.

      Donations are slowing down and people catch wind of the various frauds.
      The Red Cross are dubious.

      My Aunty worked for the Smith Family charity in AU about 30 years ago
      They are a children’s charity in Australia
      They used to be effective.
      I see on their website they now say
      …Today, one in six Australian children and young people are living in poverty*, where even life’s basics are hard to come by….
      It looks like They have been taken over by the hoodlums as have Red Cross, Oxfam (in NZ Twyford and Green party ex MP Barry Coates) and Alan Johnson at Salvation Army.

      Basically in the UK now you join OxFam to do sex tours of third world countries.

      It seems Fred Hollows Foundation is still doing good work.
      Not many others.

      we need more sites like these
      https://www.fastcompany.com/2682301/the-5-worst-charities-in-the-united-states

      The Red Cross was allowed to run the Christchurch Earthquake fund.
      That never sat well with me.

      I remember in the 1980s the TV Telethons were problematic.
      Eg from the 1983 telethon less than 10% had been distributed 2 years alter.
      The board still met every month to yik yak, collect expenses, and F.. all else.

      Kea is correct re the ‘charities’
      Most have been infiltrated.
      But they are stellar at burning fossil fuel to attend symposiums (overseas) so they are even better at doing ‘no good works’

    Trucks ‘operate around the clock’ to take sludge after Wellington waste pipe fails
    https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/wellington/118981670/trucks-operate-around-the-clock-to-take-sludge-after-wellington-waste-pipe-fails

    Contractors will make about 300 trips a day to truck millions of litres of sludge to a landfill after another wastewater pipe failed in Wellington.

    Wellington Water said 13 trucks were operating round the clock to transport the sludge 10 kilometres from the Moa Point treatment plant on Wellington’s southern coast to the Southern Landfill.

    The one-hour round trips – about 300 a day – would be made for at least the next month while repairs were made to two pipes which ran through a tunnel beneath Mt Albert.

    Twyford eyes commuter trains for Hamilton and Tauranga

    2020 could be the start of a new era for two of New Zealand’s fastest growing cities, Dileepa Fonseka reports

    Sweeping regional plans likely to be released this year could bring commuter rail to two of New Zealand’s fastest growing cities.

    Spatial plans are in the works for six high growth regions, aiming to link housing and zoning policies with transport networks across whole regions developed over 30-year timespans.

    https://www.newsroom.co.nz/2020/01/22/991808/hamilton-and-tauranga-rapid-transit?fbclid=IwAR1n5ItQo-MxvYYwjrEnuoZazdLQMThKBTTm-KyTIWz2nTr2uIG-NOiO1Os#

    • “The SH1 Cambridge to Piarere project – an extension of the Waikato expressway – has been reconfigured to meet new safety priorities with no funding set aside for a full extension of the expressway.
      Similarly, Tauranga’s Northern Link is on hold after an evaluation of the project in 2018 found that the four-lane highway didn’t meet new priorities for rapid transit in the Government Policy Statement (GPS) on Transport.
      It has been reconfigured as a two-lane project with the option of two additional “multi-modal” lanes – walking, cycling or public transport – and would need to demonstrate it prioritises public transport to get funded.

      “Both Hamilton and Tauranga have had huge investments in motorway networks and road networks. You put decent public transport and rapid transit alongside that and they’ll be setup for generations to come,” he said.
      “The idea is to provide a better public transport system based around a rapid transit spine so that you’re removing that car dependency.”

      Yeah/Nah Phil. We don’t want cheesecutters, and walking and cycle lanes tacked on to our existing inadequate roads. We want and need safer new motorways. Saying we have had huge investment is because the traffic is horrific and getting worse so we require our motorways extended – it’s an ongoing process. Trains and buses don’t work for most who travel between cities.

    • Do not say the rates are going to go up.
      Just that some special rate will be levied.

      But both cities could meet the cost of the service by levying a special rate on properties located close to commuter stations, he believed.

      But do not tell any one yet how high those rates will be, and because that will be considered a bit too high, then the other areas that receive no benefit will also have to contribute to the special commuter zones too.
      Well they are rich people too, so also should pay.
      So overall the rates will go up.

      • Why should the ratepayer be charged an extra tax because they llive close to a bloody station!
        They might walk to work or drive the other way.
        Why not charge the commuters the going rate and not subsides the train!

        • Because it is believed that all property owners will benefit from increased capital values on their property.
          Rate payers are a captured guaranteed payer, and have to accept all demands with menaces, or forfeit their property, but supposedly profitably as they receive a higher price. hmmm.

          In one part of the game, the rents will be extra high. 🙂

    Police have launched an investigation into the hoarding, but it might not take long. The 61-year-old has already told them he didn’t do it because it was “too much bother”, Kyodo News reported.

    Officials in Kanagawa became suspicious last year, and presented evidence to police linking him with 1000 undelivered items.

    • It’s true that stock dogs don’t always come from the huntawaybeardie/border collie heritage we see in NZ. I’ve never seen a dachshund do much more than clean up dropped pikelet crumbs but I’m open to the idea that on occasions even the most unlikely foot warmer can surprise us.

      Many moons & quite a few suns ago I was installed in the local watering hole when the publican asked me to come & help to move a few steers for an old bloke who had a small property down the road a bit. I didn’t have any dogs with me but mine host reckoned he had that under control. He was going to take his wife’s dog to help.

      His wife’s pet was a Pembroke Corgi which periodically waddled from the kitchen to the bar & spent most of its time sprawled out in front of the logfire. I wasn’t overly impressed but the publican had owned a station out the coast so off we went.

      There were about two dozen two year old steers & they were stroppy bastards. When the gate was opened the corgi went round the back of them, singled out a troublemaker & sank its teeth into his hock. The steer took off through the gateway followed by its mates who obviously weren’t keen for the same treatment.

      I was impressed. The little bastard had rediscovered the Welsh cattle dog genes he had hidden under his fat little body. 🙂

    One of my favourites from days with my grandfather was Tam O’Shanter and I fondly remember the Tam O’shanter bonnet that the old fella always wore out on the farm.
    Censorship was alive and well back in those days and two verses where Burns describes the vile scene inside the haunted kirk on that halloween night could not be published.
    They related to a coupe of rotting priest’s hearts and “three lawyers tongues turned inside out”

    Thai Airways deny Auckland women business class seats on flight because of weight
    An Auckland woman and her two daughters were left traumatised after staff from Thai Airways said they were “too big” to sit in business class.

    Huhana Iripa, 59, and her daughters Renell, 28, and Tere, 37, were accosted with measuring tapes ahead of their Bangkok to Auckland flight, with crew stating seatbelts in the high-end section of the aircraft would not reach to fit around them.

    The daughters has been in Thailand for weight loss surgery and had each paid $2650 for the flights, including the business-class seats for the way back to ensure greater comfort.

    Iripa said the experience was “horrific” and feels she and her family have been discriminated against because of their body shapes, which at the time ranged from a size 22-26.
