it may have been lunacy on mps part but the more crazy thing is seeing a bunch of clowns actually crying and super excited that a mountain is now a legal person.
this shit is fucking absurd, as i mentioned the other week the ultimate test to being a legal person would be to sue it.
im guessing cuz the mountain is now officially a clavk bunt its on the dole, killed a kid or 2 and joined the mongrel mob?
Well, nobody was willing to be a “Nazi” “racist” “far-right” “white supremacist”, so as a natural consequence, now we’ve got a mountain with a legal personality.
For similar reasons, fear of being called “sexist” got us out of control women, fear of being called “homophobic” got us gay marriage and transgenderism, and fear of being labelled a “xenophobe” gets us endless third world immigration into the Western world.
The control of language (and therefore thought and action) is a very powerful political tool (not that I’m a linguaphobe or anything, though).
Good morning everyone.
The promised rain for Whangarei seems to have disappeared so I can look forward to doing some useful work around the property.
I can confirm at least 2 beautiful days this week in Dargaville.
A gorgeous morning now I’m back in the Waikato. ☀️ 😎
Mmmm Steak and eggs, the only food anyone really needs. Yes Iaasb you can still have fish but only if you add lots of butter hahaha
fish, steak and eggs…. maybe a few prawns for a good surf n turf feed.
Oysters are better.
oysters are also very expensive and seasonal unless youre a fan of those horrid pacific/rock oysters.
Don’t forget the fresh green lipped mussels.
Will always be Mt Egmont to me.
Same here!
What if Mr Taranaki Maunga identifies as non-binary? How do they know they’ve got his pronouns right? Also, how come the mountain speaks English? So many questions.
I have no idea what “non-binary” is as I took great pleasure in avoiding being indoctrinated in their rubbish. A mountain will remain a mountain, spectacular and dangerous like it always has been. Giving it a human form doesn’t fool anyone except fools who are easily led and want to fooled.
Will the Mt Taranaki be chased down by woke safewhen someone slides off!
Can we charge it for murder now considering the number of people it has killed?
Are you sure you have the right sex?
After all it does have one tit!

‘Cut and dry’: Aviation expert breaks down cause of deadly DC plane crash
Sky News aviation expert Byron Bailey has described the cause of the fatal collision between an American Airlines plane and a US Army Black Hawk helicopter as being “cut and dry”.
Maximum height for the Black Hawke helicopter was 200ft but was at 350ft at the time of the crash.
The plane had permission to land and was in the right, the chopper did the crashing so like cars is the one to blame. The attemtped cover up by the Military saying it was a training flight is shite, you have to be very experiecned to fly a Black Hawk heli/
On X they are saying it was a suicide by the chopper pilot in retaliation to Trumps declaration of there being only two genders. This pilot was a trans gender idiot and wasn’t getting the recognition “IT” thought it was deserving.
Well “it” couldn’t maintain chopper height or see a fully lit commercial airline directly ahead. //
Rough on his passengers if he took himself out on purpose.
….On X they are saying …
Well that clears that up then
doesn’t it !!

The Council of Legal Education is implementing compulsory tikanga Māori courses for law students at universities across New Zealand. The downstream effect will be to infuse every part of our legal system with tikanga, enabling judicial activism that undermines the intent behind legislation passed by our elected Parliament.

Could have been looking at a different plane.
God told an angel that he always created everything in balance, light & dark, predator & prey, mountain & valley.
One day, God turned toward his angels & said “behold, for I have created the Wairarapa, home of the most hardworking, caring, independent & virtuous people in the world.”
The angels responded: “But Lord! It’s wonderful. Where is the place to balance it out?”
God replied: “Just wait until you see Auckland.”
Surely you meant Wellington?
Man goes to the vet and tells him that his mule is sick. He describes the symptoms, and the vet opens a drawer pulls something out and hands it to the man.
He says, “Here, this suppository will do the trick.”
The man goes back to the farm and out to where his mule was and reads the directions on the packet containing the suppository. He looks the mule in the face, then begins walking around him, checking him out. He comes back to the front of the mule, looks him carefully in the face, walks around him, checking him out again.
Back in front of the mule, he looks him right in the eye and says, “Mule, I’m going to walk around you one more time, and if I can’t find your rectum, I’m going to stick this thing up your ass.”

This guy is a red rag to me.
Thinking up a response.
Is he better or worse than Cunt Cullen?
Dam you
Dam you to hell wiseowl
Simply.
Douglas is a low IQ CUNT
There
—————————-
only read part of the crap and it is crap
extract 1
It all started in earnest when Sir Robert Muldoon and the National party in 1976, voted in one of the most generous retirement pension systems anywhere in the world, if not the most generous. They did so without voting in the taxes needed to pay for such a generous scheme.
Looks like Sir Robert David is winding up this ignoramus from the grave,
Good.
the tax rates were top margin 66% pre 1984(I paid that)
and Douglas , um well, lowered the rate !!!
———————————————–
extract 2
Unlike squirrels, who have the good sense to store nuts so they have food when they need it, New Zealands’ politicians over the last 60-70 years have encouraged people to spend everything they have without looking to the future, because ‘we will look after you’.
Going on my memory here
in 1981 (Muldoon time ) people saved 1 dollar in 7.
So ….45 years ago
B.S. by the puppet from the Chicongo Skewl of Economics
Few had a credit card
First Credit card was National bank Visa 1979
no after pay, mainly only layby where you only got the goods after you paid for them
No instant gratification.
in 1987 after 3 years of Douglas as Finance Minister people spent 1.02 for each $1.00 earned
Mmmm
I remember this because it was scary.
and here we are.
———————————————
extract 3
For the last 50 years we have effectively set NZ on a path to bankruptcy, beginning with Muldoon’s unfunded super scheme,
douglas is clearly just pissy that Muldoon cancelled the Super scheme set in place in 1975 by liebour
Muldoon was correct.
Imagine if Grant robbers son had access to that 1975 onwards fund
Muldoons argument that it would be abused by future politicians.
Think… like.. Robert Maxwell theft of his employees pension fund to prop up his failing company (circa 1990 )
Well
we saw that with the cullen fund and it was abused by keys/English
and by robbers son

What a fucking bimbo douglas is
I stopped there
douglas ….what a cretin
He wrote in his 1980 book there should be term limit of 18 years
In 2008 her went back for more
and had already passed 18 years in 1987 and did three more years to 1990
Entering parliament in 1969 he is a recipient of a very generous parliamentary pension
I’m not sure why you think that.
Everything in that post is true.
Had Muldoon not scrapped the Super Scheme Douglas put in place, we would be a wealthy country of much happier people. ( Muldons argument was it wouldn’t be long before the Superfund would own everything in NZ.)
Ask yourself why we need so much foreign capital.
We don’t have enough of our own so nanny state wants to be the provider and controller of everything Kiwi.
The net result is that the banks control our everyday life because they borrow offshore to lend to us, while all the time the Govt. is putting taxpayers’ money into a super fund and borrowing to do that as well as subsidising your Kiwisaver.
We have very poor infrastructure because we waste too much money on propping people up so that every time a govt. changes We have this rejigging according to the political powers. Actually, it should go to a referendum and be made into a long-term plan.
Few businesses in NZ can get by without borrowing from the banks and as we see they follow the crowd, especially on Greeny crap, so they are debanking various industries including coal and oil.
Interestingly, Rabo Bank is increasing its lending to farmers quite considerably while the other four are bailing or barely maintaining the status quo.
ACC is another good example.
ACC has a huge fund and both of them invest bugger all in NZ
Here is an article about the Parliament’s Finance and Expenditure Committee.
https://www.interest.co.nz/public-policy/131716/stuart-smith-chairman-parliaments-finance-and-expenditure-committee-dropped
There was another one a week or more back talking about this and market shares with graphs which show clearly the trend.
Douglas was right then and remains so.
How does your contention work when you already say ?
1.
ACC is another good example.
ACC has a huge fund and both of them invest bugger all in NZ
So ACC, set up before the 1975 Rowling super fund invests little locally
2.
The Cullen fund is
Global equities 70 %
New Zealand equities 10 %
Fixed interest 20 %
https://www.gsfa.govt.nz/investment/objectives/
———————
the cullen fund is a picky bitch
The Superfund maintains a list of excluded companies similar to the Government Pension Fund of Norway.[18] The Superfund will not invest in the companies within the list.
The list includes,
Companies in the tobacco industry;
Companies involved in the production of nuclear weapons, cluster munitions and anti-personnel mines;
Companies involved in the Grasberg mine in West Papua;
Companies involved in the processing of whale meat;
Tokyo Electric Power Company;
Companies involved in developing settlements in the Israeli-occupied territories;
Companies involved in the manufacture of civilian automatic and semi-automatic firearms.
So
ACC and the Establish near 25 year Cullen superfund mainly invest offshore
In what universe would one think that the 1975 Rowling super fund would be investing in NZ assets ?
Most are shit anyway
Pathetic telecom was 20% of the Market cap in the 1990s
Carte Holt Harvey collapsed inside 25 years
Fletcher Challenge collapsed inside 20 years and in fact in about 10 years (1990) when Hughy took over
Of course I will get down ticked for facts by the financially illiterate that visit this blog,
wiseowl
Given Douglas’s past record, such suggestions come as no surprise, and you can be VERY sure that he won’t be dependent living pension-payment to pension-payment (He is after all an accountant, and they rarely starve).
On that basis, for him to start suggesting that the pension be ‘tinkered’ with is, at minimum, the height of hypocrisy, especially from someone who effectively destroyed the country’s economy and who has never known economic and financial ‘deprivation’.
Wonder how many pollies only rely on the state funded pension in retirement?
Most labor pollies, all of the greens, no maori party!
The alternative was a lot worse. We were basically bankrupt.
He removed a lot of privileges from many and I am talking import licensing etc.
He was brave enough to sell of a lot of stuff and had Lange not met the Pope then there would have been more.
Are u saying that they shouldn’t have sold BNZ, Rail, forests and many other bits and that you would rather have been ruled by the Savage- Muldoon doctrine where the state controlled everything?
Never picked you for a commy.
Interestingly, not a single bit of work they did has ever been removed.
And I have never voted Labour and dislike that Nats just as much.
How would import licensing look like with the advent of internet trading?
When Douglas came in I was involved in Rural issues and was supportive of Collis Blake .
I am not saying changes shouldn’t have been made but Douglas had no sympathy for farmers and it was a very tough time.
When he pulled subsidies he used to say the world would follow.
Yeah right.
It wasn’t Douglass who pulled the subsidies. Muldoon started it and Douglas inherited it and got the blame for it.
Douglas didn’t have sympathy much for anyone who was being subsidised or benefitted from state intervention in business. Plenty of others met the real world. Richardson was the person that screwed business in NZ.
“Ardern (who simply left it to her Minister of Finance to spend as much as he could), all believed winning power for themselves was more important than looking after NZ’s future.”
That’s the source of NZ’s current economic hole. Don’t blame the pension and pensioners when NZ suffered at minimum under financial ignorance, incompetence or at worst financial terrorism by the fat controller of the previous Labour government fire hosing cash out the door. 💩
Goes further back, indeed we have never got to financial control, ever.
It’s always the taxpayer that pays for these things.
The game is to tax till your eyes water and then tell you what to do with your spare time after that.
We have run deficits as long as I can remember but no one seems to care.

It is the duty “Mustahabb” ‘recommended’, virtuous, or ‘favored’. of a devout & pious muslim to migrate (Hijrah) though not obligatory.
This discussion here shows the intent, for what is wanted in Islam;—

To cope with all of that, the muslims that travel have also the guidance from the “The Reliance of the Traveller”
https://archive.org/details/relianceofthetravellertheclassicmanualofislamicsacredlawindexed
This book should be sent to all our western politicians & particularly to the Minister of Immigration, & supposed ‘multi-culti’ Culture to really understand what is the real intent, behind the koran, & hadith.
Only one minor fault in that short clip.
That is conflating Spain, when they see it as the rightful return of Andalucía where they once were.
A lesson that shows the intent of changing the name when empowered by numbers.
I would doubt the assumption that they are happy in western countries.
No not about “happy” but to live in the Dar al-Harb means ‘house of war‘ where they may find that that they are ‘persecuted’ in some form or another & where others commit many types of “mischief” by disregarding “allah”
So the real need to bring about the Dar- al-Islam (the land of peace) around the world.
Islam does not mean peace. It means submission.

or

The election was held on 14 October 2023 – and many if not most votes were already cast by then.
It then took 6 weeks of fucking around, and Winston going fishing, to form a coalition.
27 November
4 weeks before Xmas
We got the shocking story that
the books were not in the state we expected
WOW
Surely any twelve year old with an IQ north of 97 could have figured that out.
If the Trusted public servants who prepared (cooked ) that set of PREFU accounts still have a job then notional is not doing their job
(OK yeah, that would require a decision followed by action, Duh )
Parliament sat for a few days before Xmas and there were maiden speeches n shit
Greens were mostly out doing crime….. coz that is what you have to do to live…. when you are a nutter !!
Then they went on holiday for 6 weeks occasionally turning up to be abused by maori at ratana and waitangi
If these fuckers (coalition MPs) were serious about doing anything they would be back at their desks like the rest of the country by 20 January, latest
Make it the 15th
But NO
Shane Reti had 14 months on the health pot….. and never took a piss.

Parliament stops Nov 5
Guy Fawkes day
Back on board by 20 January
remember the liebour MPs would not let adern call a lock down in January 2021
So she left it to Feb 2021, the very next day after they came back. !!!
These Sept or Oct elections are BS
It kills the rest of the year until Mid February
at present
Call an election for circa 20 October
Everything stops.
Nothing starts until Mid Feb four and half (4.5 ) months later
A Farce
A list MP while having no responsibly unless a portfolio, has even less than nothing to do for 4.5 months.
Since they can have so much time off maybe just cut the number of MPs to 99
or better, 80.
Get rid of all toady list MP’s, easy!

Trump Signs New Executive Orders While Taking Questions From Reporters In Oval Office
Time to move to Norway?
“This week, it was revealed that the value of Norway’s wealth fund (their equivalent of our Future Fund) increased by – get this – $355 billion in one year. If you took the market value of the Fund, as it currently stands, and divided it equally among the population of Norway (around 5.5 million people), you’d get a per capita wealth boost of around NOK3.6 million (or around US$320,000.)”
So what
Norway extracted oil for 50 bloody years
That is the only basis for their wealth
While they continued to tax people at
Inccome tax 70%
+ Capital gains tax
+ consumption tax
+ small per annum wealth tax on the private home (0.5 to 1 % without looking up
Meanwhile Colonel Gaddafi used Libya’s oil revenue for his people with virtually no tax
Similar populations
Why the fuck would any moron recommend Norway
with all that TAX of course the Norway Govt is wealthy
They took it from the people
and tax them more if they save and accumulate assets
DuH
too much power in govt
That is not a good thing
Never
