  1. Over looked ChristChurch will punish Labour, just like they Punished National over the ChristChurch rebuild and insurance fiasco at the 2017 General Election.
    https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/opinion/119181925/why-the-government-cant-take-canterbury-for-granted
    The Government can’t take Canterbury for granted after the allotment of a $ 159 million out of the $ 7 billion Transport infrastructure pie announced to pay for Pedestrian Crossings, Traffic Lights, a overhead Bridge and Bus lanes was Canterbury piddly share .

  2. Mitt Romney’s top adviser, Joseph Cofer Black, joined the board of the Ukraine energy firm, Burisma, while Hunter Biden was also serving on the board. Of course this is just a coincidence,

    I knew there had to be some reason why he was against Trump, apart from being beaten for the presidential nomination 4 years ago.

  3. An old couple was sitting in their living room on a Sunday morning watching a religious program. The preacher on this show would go to all the people in the audience and asking them what they wanted to be fixed, then he would have them cover the part of their body they wanted to be fixed. Many of the people were elderly so they were covering their eyes and hearts.
    Then the preacher said “Ok now for you at home put your hand on the part of your body you want fixed and say this prayer with me. “So the little old lady put her hand on her heart because she had a very bad heart. And the little old man put his hands on his crotch.
    The little old lady turned to her husband and said: “He said he could heal the sick, not raise the dead!”

  5. …….”When you’re dead you don’t know you’re dead.”……

    Will someone tell the mental defectives gathering this morning to pester their imaginary God to grant them eternal life & the power to control our lives.

    If they can get past the imaginary friend stage there’s still time to pack a picnic lunch & go fishing. 🙂

        • It’s interesting that Stephieboy doesn’t appear on the roster anymore.

          I can only think of two possibilities:
          1. Stephieboy has “retired” from roster duties given the incongruence between his “Stephieboy the Christian” and “Stephieboy the Maggy Stalker and Blog Pervert” personalities.
          2. Stephieboy has been kicked out of St Albans after his “blogging activities” have come to light. If you limit the Google search to NZ hits, the phrase “small but ample breasts” seems to have a distinctive Stephieboy flavour to it!

  8. Queensland man claims to be Prince Charles and Camilla’s son, launches legal action

    A Queensland-based man who believes he is the illegitimate son of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles has launched legal action against the Prince’s official royal estate, in a bid to confirm the paternity.

    Simon Charles Dorante-Day, 53, believes he lived with Camilla until he was about 18 months old, and was then adopted out to his parents, Karen and David Day.

    Dorante-Day says Charles and Camilla met in 1965 and he was born the following year, after a period of nine months during which Camilla “disappeared” and Charles was sent off to Australia.

    The man’s adoptive grandparents, Winifred and Ernest, worked for the Queen and Prince Philip and were allegedly well respected and trusted within the Royal Family.

  10. Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson will run hard for a Māori seat
    https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/119069688/green-party-coleader-marama-davidson-will-run-hard-for-a-mori-seat

    Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson will announce today her intention to run a campaign for a Māori seat in a bid to widen the party’s core support from inner-city professionals, Stuff understands.

    The move lays down a serious challenge to the Labour Party, which currently holds all seven Māori electorate seats but is facing a fight from a resurrected Māori Party and now the Greens.

    The Greens traditionally stand candidates in many seats but only actively campaign for the party vote. The party has only ever held a single electorate seat, for one term.

  11. Simon Bridges has ‘no intention of keeping’ $100,000 donation, seeks Electoral Commission’s advice
    https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/01/simon-bridges-has-no-intention-of-keeping-100-000-donation-seeks-electoral-commission-s-advice.html

    Bridges responded: “It’s safe to say that we don’t have the intention of keeping the donation, in fact, we’ve been in communication and written to the Electoral Commission about that, for them to help us and give us advice on what to do with that donation.”

    “Let’s just sort of remember that as leader of a large party – Jacinda Ardern will be in the exact same category – I meet with all manner of New Zealanders and new immigrants all the time,” Bridges said.
    “They are constantly making the case that they’re growing, that they’re significant, what it means for them to be in New Zealand, and how they want greater representation.”
    Bridges also took a crack at the New Zealand media when Plunket suggested there’s a “narrative that they’re out to get you”.
    “I think there’s a bit of truth in that,” Bridges responded.
    “I don’t want to stand here as a victim of the media or any such thing, but I think many in the media, they know the story they want, and the happy ending is Jacinda Ardern.”

      • ‘they want greater representation’
        What does that mean.?
        Does he mean by race? Does he mean because they are immigrants?
        To me if they want to be kiwis, learn to be one, fit in, don’t impose your culture on us or go back to where you came from.

        • Good point, but I also see value in having immigrants with a representative they can easily speak to. First generation may not be fully comfortable in English, but are quite capable and quite happy to work and be Kiwis. For myself, there were a lot of learnings about how Kiwis do things.

          For example, you don’t seem to do proper braais. There’s a preference for a 2 – 4 hour dinner party type barbeque. A real braai starts early, the food is ready around 10pm and there’s usually a wheelbarrow or two involved to get people home. (I jest a little bit 🙂 ) But there are cultural and lifestyle changes when you move to New Zealand as an immigrant – even when you want to be a full Kiwi.

          Having somebody that can represent you and help you through that, as a Kiwi, is a bonus.

  14. Our prime minister should replace her Waitangi Day rhetoric with something more useful
    https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/opinion/119144769/our-prime-minister-should-replace-her-waitangi-day-rhetoric-with-something-more-useful

    Parts of last year’s speech at Waitangi by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern sounded like we were in 1840, not 2019, especially when she said: “We will keep building the foundations to bring our two houses together and that ultimately will be the foundation for which Te Arawhiti will be formed. The bridge between our two houses.”

    I suppose, based on my whakapapa, physical appearance and self-identity, that puts me in the Māori house. But what about Māori who have more Pākehā ancestry than Māori whakapapa?

    • What a refreshing article by Steve Elers, all the more so as he is on the staff at Massey. His commentary about the lineage of his daughters and his willingness to accept that ‘Maori’ are as mixed in their blood lines as those who don’t claim to have that racial origin, is certainly a departure from the usual mantra. Well done, Mr Elers.

        So find a friendly Maori today and become blood brothers.

    How employers are freezing the over 50s out of the job market
    https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/119159518/i-cant-survive-over-45s-struggling-to-make-ends-meet-ahead-of-retirement

    The stories were similar: an unexpected redundancy saw them suddenly out of the workforce, and despite sending dozens of applications – in one case more than 100 – for jobs they were qualified, skilled, or in some instances overqualified for, they remained without work.

    They included former IT workers, administrators, care workers and business owners, some whose successful careers had spanned decades. Many had transferable skills, some sending examples of their CVs. Their frustration was palpable and many didn’t want to be identified for fear of jeopardising their situation even further; others were embarrassed.

    One Wellington man landed just three interviews after applying for 187 jobs since moving back to New Zealand from Australia, going from a $120,000 salary to unpaid contract work. The 62-year-old faced working well past superannuation age. A 52-year-old Christchurch woman who has been job hunting since October described spending “sleepless nights in tears”.

    “I have no hopes for my future, I’m afraid that I may end up on the streets.”

    • WG
      Once you are over fifty you are certainly squeezed out especially by the younger brigade who think anyone over fifty is ancient.

      All this talk about heaps of jobs is a puzzle to me .Someone I know who has returned from Australia after ten years, 32, has applied for many jobs,usually finding 40 or so other applicants.
      Pleased I am self employed but it is hard working on days like today.30 degrees.

  19. From a comment on my favourite site for Brexit info –facts4eu. The discussion was about responses to Brexit day from 3 of the EU presidents. A poster said this was a previous comment from Frau von der Leyen that all UK people should remember.

    “Europe’s nations should be guided towards the superstate without their people understanding what is happening. This can be accomplished by successive steps, each disguised as having an economic purpose, but which will eventually and irreversibly lead to federation.”

    That goal and attitude is why Brexit happened.

    • I don’t think he was handed it as such he sought it out.
      They had to roll the arrogant Merry Palmer as, with him in charge, they were looking at 6+ MPs losing their seats and there was no MMP list places to ride in on at that time.

      Moore was a complex bloke.
      I do admire how he parlayed the 8 weeks as ‘PM of NZ’ into a (joint) Head of WTO notwithstanding WTO’s failings.
      He then scored the prestigious Ambassador to the USA -under Notional.
      I guess Helen Klarkenfuhrer who rolled him as Liebour leader would not do that.
      When she hates, she hates with a vengeance.
      Her looks reflect her vicious personality. No concerts to raise money for blind kids. Oh No!

      Moore was a prolific author.
      He was part of the original ‘Fish and Chip Brigade’ that drove Labour’s policy in the 1980s.
      Moore, Mud guts Lange, R Douglas, and Bassett.

      Moore sought out opportunities.
      He was a distinct globalist with his WTO position and Trilateral Commission.

      Compare and Contrast to Mud guts Lange with his lank greasy hair and uncontrollable eating habits.
      He was a pig of a man and, as goes with such a personality, was a lazy bastard.
      Well, a bastard on every level was Mud Guts.
      Mile Moore fought back from cancer ;
      Lange destroyed his body with carbohydrate loading and all he did after 5 years as PM was whinge and moan that no-one gave him an opportunity… What a fat bitch!

      Fare ye well Raccoon.
      When one looks back at 40 years of Labour PMs he stands out but his competition of Silly Liddle Gurl; Mud Guts Lange; Merry Palmer; and hate driven Klarkenfuhrer means he was laps ahead on humanity.

    Palestine cutting all ties with US and Israel over Trump’s so-called ‘deal of the century’

    • Trump serves Israel first and foremost. Same as those before him.

      Eventually this will once again backfire on the jews as it always has throughout history. And once again they will play victim.

      Israel should confine itself to the border established when the country was invented a few decades ago, amid lies, corruption, deceit, terrorism and murder. A foul land for a vile cult. And a great shame to the real jews who have always lived in the region.

      • One good thing about Trump is he manages to serve the jews without being a warmonger like their house boy Obama was.

        The biggest long term threat to the Jewish cult is the repercussions of the religious crusade called- the war on terror.

    I checked about an hour ago after having been out for lunch (not the best place in Gizzy, and not very cool,), and as nothing had been done, sent a message via the link at the bottom of KB’s Comments page……

    Then I remembered DPF never replied to those messages when I was being abused by Griff & MMA & stephieboy, etc a couple of years back…

    So I sent a gmail to the ed@kiwiblog……

    Did other folk get ignored by DPF, or was it just me?

  32. Takedown notices and internet filters coming to NZ

    The Government is planning legislation that will give it increased powers to tackle the spread of terrorist content online, proactively released documents from the Department of Internal Affairs show

    A new suite of reforms will make it illegal to livestream objectionable content and give the Government the ability to issue takedown notices to online content hosts, among other powers.

    The proposed legislation was authorised by Cabinet in December and will be introduced by March, according to a proactively released Cabinet paper from the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA).

  38. Adam Schiff continues to fight the Russians by demanding the US fund a country (Ukraine) his ancestors used as a base to rebel against the Russians.
    This is why the Biden scandal is threatening to him and the impeachment debacle is being used to deflect the real crimes.

    Jacob Schiff was born in 1847 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, to Moses and Clara (née Niederhofheim) Schiff, members of a distinguished Ashkenazi Jewish rabbinical family that traced its lineage in Frankfurt back to 1370. His father, Moses Schiff, was a broker for the Rothschilds.
    The Jewish Communal Register of New York City stated that “Mr. Schiff has always used his wealth and his influence in the best interests of his people. He financed the enemies of autocratic Russia and used his financial influence to keep Russia from the money markets of the United States

    What was perhaps Schiff’s most famous financial action was during the Russo-Japanese War, in 1904 and 1905. Schiff met Takahashi Korekiyo, deputy governor of the Bank of Japan, in Paris in April 1904. He subsequently extended loans to the Empire of Japan in the amount of $200 million (equivalent to $4.5 billion in 2018)

    This loan attracted worldwide attention, and had major consequences. Japan won the war, thanks in large part to the purchase of munitions made possible by Schiff’s loan.

    But in a February 2015 appearance on CNN, Schiff was asked by anchor Wolf Blitzer, “You want the United States right now to not only provide humanitarian aid to Ukraine, but also start providing serious weapons, right?”

    He replied: “I do. And I think it’s overdue.”
