  1. I heard Winston say to Peter Wiliams on Magic Talk “we have photos because we had them followed.”
    The man can’t lie straight in bed.

    ‘No interest’ – Winston Peters backtracks on photos taken of journalists investigating NZ First Foundation

    New Zealand First leader Winston Peters has fired back at allegations he had two journalists followed and photographed – saying the party has “no interest” in following them after previously claiming “we took the photograph”.

    • Wouldn’t have been easier just to sign the papers oking what was happening in NZ First instead of hanging your Pesident out to dry by giving him no alternative other than to resign. Winston Peters tried to bully the Lester Grey into falsely signing a balance of funds return that was lies so decided to walk.
      If it is true about the information he is alleged to have released by the way Winston Peters is behaving there is a lot more to come. So the moment Winston used Utu on Lester Grey by releasing his medical information it has come back to bite on the arse. As the old saying goes, play with fire and you will get burn’t very apt and well deserved by Mr. Peters.

      The girls waitressing etc said they always watch closely as not all proposals done that way are greeted with delight. Hadn’t thought of that.

    A man has been shot dead by police after he fired upon them when they attempted to stop a vehicle as part of their investigation into this week’s double homicide.

    Police say when they attempted to stop a vehicle at 7.46pm on Carmichael Road in Tauranga, they were fired upon.

  6. Coronavirus-infected woman took Uber to London hospital, breached health advice
    https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2020/02/coronavirus-infected-woman-took-uber-to-london-hospital-breached-health-advice.html

    The Guardian has been told the woman, understood to be a Chinese national who recently arrived in the United Kingdom from China, didn’t arrive at the Lewisham hospital on Monday (NZT) by ambulance or private car, but in a vehicle arranged through the ride-sharing application. The woman then went straight to the A&E reception desk to report her symptoms.

      • The Chinese national may have been unaware of any “health advice” published by the authorities in English. In addition, many Mailand Chinese don’t get a lot of practice in “thinking about how their actions will affect others” (nor do they care, in many cases).

          • Example, we were in Kyoto on New Years Eve. A Chinese guest set their instant noodles on fire, so at some silly hour the alarm started blaring and a Japanese voice came on speakers telling everybody to get out. (English / Japanese cycle)

            We threw on clothes, grabbed our passport and money bag and walked down the fire escape. Only an Irishman and a few other Europeans came. Followed the signs and ended up in a basement.

            Backtracked two floors and found the street level exit. If it had been a real emergency, that signage would have messed things up.

              I didn’t realize the instant noodles were that bad in Kyoto. Or maybe noodle-combustion is some new Chinese custom that is spreading like wildfire…

              The only instant noodles that are any good (in my opinion) is Nissin Ra-oh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLoOARbj4Uo
              They really are good, and you can get them at Japan Mart in Auckland.

  8. The Politics of 2020 so far

    Labour announces the infrastructure projects they cancelled in 2017.
    Soimon finally ends his interminable summer break and announces “SeeYa” to WinstonFirst
    A child is lying brain damaged after being systematically beaten by his whanau* and Jacinda still hasn’t hugged the family
    Straight after all the (now totally silent) haters have spent months attacking Oranga Tamariki for removing kids from child beaters
    Biden topping the polls all 2019, but can’t get a delegate
    DNC can’t run a caucus (how can they run the country)
    Jacinda imports coronavirus to NZ under the guise of “self-isolation” (maybe a pandemic will earn a few extra votes if PTPM hugs a few sick, dying NZers)
    Fire season is ramping up – and I’m just waiting until Green party activists start their pre-election programme of arson to prove that “socialsts are fucking insane” and we therefore have to save the planet (yeah I don’t get that either – but hey! it’s ok when the left do it!)
    Aaand we have to pay for a radio station for people who like classical music and are far too stupid to use Spotify

    National is up to what 6 or 7 electorates where they’ve got “retiring” MPs doing sweet fuck all taking a nice, long, tax payer funded sabbatical all the way up to the election – leaving loyal National voters utterly unrepresented under the most abusive government we’ve seen in living memory. The choice between two main parties offering:
    – socialist liars in red
    vs
    – socialist liars in blue
    is making me positively sick.

    (Yes, yes – I fucking know the family’s ethnicity hasn’t been released but a) it’s Flaxmere FFS b) they had a karakia for the kid – bit Maori that eh? c) Merepeka Raukawa-Tait and Turia have gone to ground – and d) the media and cops are scrupulously careful not to say anything that might indicate the family are not nasty white supremacists – of course it’s ferals from the largely wonderful Maori community)

  10. Ardern should stand Peters down as Racing Minister amid SFO investigation – Bernard Hickey
    https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/ardern-should-stand-peters-down-racing-minister-amid-sfo-investigation-bernard-hickey

    As the Serious Fraud Office investigates donations made to the New Zealand First foundation, political commentator Bernard Hickey says Winston Peters should step down as Racing Minister, and the Prime Minister should see that he does.

    Following reports that some of those donors are part of the racing industry, Bernard Hickey – Newsroom Pro managing editor – is calling for Winston Peters to step down as Racing Minister.

    Speaking on TVNZ 1’s Breakfast today Hickey said: “I think he should stand down as the Racing minister.”

    “Of course, I’m not alleging there’s been any quid pro quo here but there’s clearly appearances of conflict of interest and when there’s been no transparency.”

    Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has publicly said she won’t form a view on the situation or take any action until there is an outcome from the SFO investigation. But Hickey thinks there should be action now.”

        The more Peter’s goes after those including Lester Grey the more you will find the voter will react to his selfishness and become rebellious of his method and lies, leaving only Winston to drown in his own shit.

  13. Latest email from Simon Bridges:

    Dear —

    Under my leadership, National is focused on the issues that matter to everyday Kiwis.

    Like tackling a rising cost of living, actually delivering the roads our country needs, and ensuring New Zealanders are safe at home and in their communities.

    Tonight’s One News Colmar Brunton poll confirms New Zealander’s expect actual delivery, not hollow promises from Government, with support for National remaining solid and in total Labour/Greens/NZ First falling.

    The poll also confirms we made the right decision to rule out working with New Zealand First after the 2020 Election. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. I can’t trust New Zealand First, and I don’t think New Zealanders can either.

    Kiwis are working harder, and longer, and they’re not seeing the benefits of that hard work in their own back pocket. Their taxes aren’t being spent on them.

    National backs Kiwis to succeed, and we believe you should keep more of what you earn, that every cent you provide in tax should be invested wisely, with accountability, on the things that really matter to you.

    Our campaign has hit the ground running and we can’t do it without you. The election is less than eight months away and it’s going to be close. The choice couldn’t be more critical for the future of New Zealand.

    Can you chip into our Campaign Fighting Fund right now?

    • I am very wary of politicians using buzzwords that are undefined. What is an “everyday Kiwi”?
      A person born in New Zealand? A non-Maori? A New Zealand passport-holder (but not a native speaker of English?)

      I assume that to the majority of citizens of this country, “everyday Kiwis” are white native-born or long-term English-speaking residents of this country, and that the phrase excludes ethnic Chinese, Indians, other Asians, Maori and Pacific Islanders.

      (I fully understand that such a definition will change over time.) What my children see to be an “everyday Kiwi” will be different to what I see.

            The Chinese were a super power for centuries and were not expansionist then or now. The reasons have little to do with respect for other cultures and more to do with Chinese notions of cultural superiority.

            They seek influence and business opportunities around the world, but are unlikely to bomb our fearsome naval fleet at Devonport.

            In reality most people get on fine. But are ruled by power hungry psychopaths.

  14. Re: The fella in Tauranga who was shooting at the cops last night and copped it.

    Was he using an illegal semi automatic weapon to fire off so many shots ?
    Will his corpse be arrested for possession of an illegal firearm?
    Will the cops raid the home/gang pad of this deceased criminal looking for more illegal weapons?
    Will Stupid Nash come out and tell us this justifies taking (previously) legal guns off legally registered firearms owners?
    Will Stupid Nash mention that the cops made Brenton Tarrant’s firearms possession legal at the time he used them on Mar 15 by providing him with a NZ firearms licence despite his not appearing – prima facie – to be a fit and proper person to hold a firearms licence?
    Was this a gun that the perpetrator simply forgot to hand over because he was busy making school lunches for decile 1+2 kids, transporting homeless to shelters, and doing voluntary roof repairs at the women’s shelter?

    So many stoopid questions.
    I’m just softening you up for the media filth lies over the next week.

        However- new flu strains are constantly emerging. Current vaccine regimes are far from 100% effective, as anyone who has them will attest.

        The bottom line is the risk of this strain knocking you off the perch is lower than many other strains all around you now.

        This view is shared by experts and is solidly based in fact. But stuff the experts and their fancy statistics. Common sense proves it.

          This virus the “Yaravirus” has appeared from nowhere and is harmless

          This bizarre virus has genes never seen before
          Our planet is teeming with mysterious microbes. Now, in the waters of an artificial lake, scientists may have discovered one of the most mysterious of all: a brand-new virus with genes that have never been seen before.
          When the researchers analyzed the microbe’s genome, they found that most of them had never been seen in any other viruses. They searched for the Yaravirus’ gene signature in thousands of environmental genomic data and found no hint, “indicating how rare this virus is,” Abrahão said.

          In any case, Yaravirus doesn’t infect human cells.

    Water trucks sprayed filtered water to spirituality cleanse the new section ahead of a convoy of around 400 people who attended five blessings on the road early Friday morning.

    The formalities included a ribbon-cutting at the northern interchange by King Tuheitia Potatau Te Wherowhero and Transport Minister Phil Twyford, and concluded with speeches.

          • But for Ratu Tibble from Ngāti Porou, who has also been at the trial everyday, Sir Robert withdrawing his case doesn’t go far enough.
            “The only thing he hasn’t committed to yet is the… throwing out of his status – the knighthood. I think he should publish it to the world and say, ‘I renounce my knighthood'”.

            Yeah..and how about you get a fuckin job Tibble.
            I bet he’s a big lard arse as well.

        Thank goodness that I do not require a safe space.
