“Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.” ~ Aldous Huxley
Huxley, best known for his dystopian novel Brave New World, remind us that ignoring reality doesn’t erase it. The facts remain, whether we acknowledge them or not.
What’s a truth you think people tend to ignore?

Remember boss (of YSB) that Ambassador Rudd (AU to US ) is very pro Chinese and long has been pro Chinese

Born in Nambour, Queensland, Rudd graduated from the Australian National University with honours in Chinese studies, and is fluent in Mandarin.

So, this was back in the 1970s
Rudd is also a catholic .
They seem to embrace that in Australia while in NZ or US that is not a good choice.
Similar in UK where Tony Bliar waited until after he was PM to formally convert to be a doolan

Bit more background
When Rudd was 11, his father, a share farmer and Country Party member, died. Rudd states that the family was required to leave the farm amidst financial difficulty between two and three weeks after the death, though the family of the landowner states that the Rudds didn’t have to leave for almost six months

Rudd is well known for lying and exaggerating and caries a serious chip on his shoulder, all his life

so, from wiki
Rudd boarded at Marist College Ashgrove in Brisbane,[13] although these years were not happy due to the indignity of poverty and reliance on charity; he was known to be a “charity case” due to his father’s sudden death.
—————-
chip on the shoulder got sharper

Rudd commenced as ambassador on 20 March 2023

In March 2024, Rudd was criticised by former US president Donald Trump, who labelled him “nasty” and indicated that he would be removed as US ambassador should Trump win the 2024 presidential election.

Rudd had previously been highly critical of Trump during his first presidency.[322]
Penny Wong later clarified that Rudd would stay on as ambassador even in the result of Trump winning the election

————————
lets see what happens

Australia produces some really nasty bastards as politicians in the liebor party.
Especially post 2000
Albanese, Rudd, Wong, Gizzard,
They make the Kelvin Davis, Twitford, sepuloni, McAnulty etc look almost, yes, almost, halfway decent.

serious question on school lunches although im pretty sure of the answer…

have they even asked the kids/parents or given them the option to opt out???

i think it should be scrapped entirely but luxtard wont allow it so why not send out a simple form with 2 choices…

1. opt out

2. continue and dont complain

they could save mega millions with this very simple exercise, plus i think the schools should have to reopen the canteens etc, the local one here closed theres when the “free lunches” started, they took away the choice and even barred students bringing their own lunch although theyve eased up on that this year with the steep decline in meal quality.

another option is if the whingers want better meals/old suppliers and budget then contribute the extra 3 or 4 bux a day. still pretty cheap for them although most of those parents will be subsidised via wff anyways and its just more paying for shit the taxpayer shouldnt have to cover… and bet the lefties and media would howl how many cant afford 15 bux a week to feed their kid, shouldnt have bred them then ay!

Iaasb, Mcduff :- All good points.

I do wonder if those kids are put on a set of scales, weighed & though imperfect, with a height to figure roughly about body mass, & kids to grow on.

That is just to really be able technically make the call, whether there is actual obesity to morbid obesity, or is there anorexia-nervosa.

Are there children in New Zealand, looking as if they have come out of Concentration Camps?
Are the kids suffering from Scurvy, (lack of Vitamin C) or Beriberi (deficiency of Vitamin B1), Rickets (lack of vitamin D, calcium, or phosphorus). or Kwashiorkor (Malnutrition pot bellies from lack of protein)

Has there been autopsies, coroner’s inquests in the deaths of these children. What, no deaths????

And bugger all those experts, nutritionists, etc.. looking for high salaries from some connection to the government as there seem to be no record of those diseases mentioned above.
Chasing indeterminate goals, pie in the sky, to supposed learning problems, then the so called sugars, that again creates another so called problem of hyper-kids.

I do recall at school, a hearing test, though no eye testing.
The teachers can figure the eye-test themselves on how the kid is faring on picking up what is on the black/white board.

I can see why the lunch idea was better than what all the PI kids were buying at the tuck shop, but it seems that PI kids had plenty of money to just buy lunch on way to school when tuck shops were closed unlike the kids with some maori genes. So brought to school lunches were out as well. The whole thing is a lefty cluster feck by academics trying to change behaviour.

Although NZ is generally very “left wing” full blown communism never really caught on in the way the Leninists envisaged. Now our leaders have decided that the principles must be rammed down our throats.

The issue of schools feeding children is not new. The state replacing the family was a cornerstone of communist ideology. To understand this I recommend a quick read of https://www.marxists.org/archive/kollonta/1920/communism-family.htm Written 105 years ago it goes a long way to explaining how those who would rule us want the world to be.

#. “the workers’ state will come to replace the family, society will gradually take upon itself all the tasks that before the revolution fell to the individual parents.”

#. “We already have homes for very small babies, creches, kindergartens, children’s colonies and homes, hospitals and health resorts for sick children. restaurants, free lunches at school and free distribution of text books, warm clothing and shoes to schoolchildren. All this goes to show that the responsibility for the child is passing from the family to the collective.”

So it shall be written. So it shall be done. Only this time perfection will be attained (with a little help from the teachers’ unions.

Surely we can reintroduce Home economics
allow 15 minutes after morning break for kids to make sandwiches.
8 or 9 year olds could/should be capable.

Do a deal with local NZ owned pak n save or New World or four Square to buy yesterdays bread half price or thereabouts.
Some margarine and spread and make sammies.

Girls need to learn how to make a sandwich if they are to be productive in life 😄😄
might be the only skill they leave skewl with.
apart from breeding for the bene

make the sammies, wrap in gladwrap, and out at lunch time. Bit of seasonal fruit . bit of barkers cordial mix in a recycled bottle.
Easy peasy.

of course luxcinda could never make this decision.

The attainable improving perfection, as shown in Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World”.

To create the perfect environment for men & women to thrive in.

The control of food, as practiced by Lenin, Stalin, Mao, where the collective farms, where the workers/families only ate what was dished out in the cafeteria.
Where not only the quality could be averaged down, and the quantity can be very controlled & limited.

Similar to 1984 where the meals seemed to be “There was the usual boiled-cabbage smell, common to the whole building” as eventually this is all boiled down to the lowest common denominator of collective cafeteria.

I had a German Romanian elderly guy, who lived this.
His father survived a gulag, & on return finagled to work on a Romanian collective dairy farm when he married.
From which he could slyly take some milk, for his young family, making yoghurt, from unpasteurized milk with no refrigeration available for them.
I got some unpasteurized milk for them to recreate that yoghurt, a nostalgia feast for them, but for me, it sure was a acquired taste, basically rotten milk.

Would be similar to the rotten corn the maoris made.
Interesting I figured that like the Romanians, in those times it would be maize, that makes up pig feed, chicken feed, & not sweet corn, as they planned to boil the sweet corn for an hour, & just could not believe it only needed to be bought to the boil & was ready.

Just what will we be called upon to sacrifice, give up, to accept for the so called common-good?
What is expendable? Ourselves, particularly if “thinking” to much? or of “wrong think”?

Opting out is the wrong way round.
Parents should have to opt in. That way it can be noted which parents don’t have the wherewithal to actually provide a sandwich for their child without help. Those parents could then have some of their benefit/WFF diverted to paying for budgeting and meal advice.

i accept theres dero parents who wont feed their kids, im still torn if taxpayers should fill that role but if we did id rather see them fed breakfast and lunch at school and stop feeding the ones that dont need it.

if kids are goin to school without lunch or shoes etc then their parents should be put under the scutiny of oranga tamariki its that fucking simple. solve the problem not bandaid the symptom with an expensive blanket approach

Instead of supporting the deadbeat parents in the slow starvation of THEIR children the result should be prison. There is no excuse in NZ for children to be hungry. The state will always support those in real need but it is the State insistence of feeding all school children where the wheels have come off their plan.

Why I’ve resigned from the Waitangi Tribunal – Richard PrebbleBy Richard Prebble
NZ Herald·
5 Mar, 2025 05:00 AM

I have resigned as a member of the Waitangi Tribunal.
The Treaty is our founding document; two peoples peacefully agreeing to form a nation.
When in Parliament, I supported the tribunal being able to investigate historical breaches of the Treaty.
Over the summer, I have been reading the tribunal’s recent reports and doing my own research.

The Treaty is clear. It is a preamble and three articles. We also have the instructions to Governor Hobson.
The Crown offered its protection, guaranteed property rights and extended the rights of British citizenship.
In return, Māori ceded sovereignty, agreed to the Crown having a right of pre-emption and accepted the duties of citizenship.

more
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/why-ive-resigned-from-the-waitangi-tribunal-richard-prebble/H5DFP7A23NHATCLOGQI7V3YXQI/

n my letter of resignation, I have recommended the Government implement its coalition agreement and upgrade the tribunal by appointing a senior High Court judge, as was done when the tribunal was first set up.
The tribunal insults the chiefs when it says the chiefs did not mean to accept the Crown’s protection, create a nation, protect their property rights and extend citizenship to all Māori.
I will not participate in turning the Treaty into a socialist manifesto.
Ignoring the issue is not the answer. It is time for the Prime Minister to lead and uphold that there is one Treaty, one country and one citizenship.

The globalist puppet masters have obviously put out the demand to up the anti Trump propaganda. NZ Initiative chairman Roger Partridge is out in full force.

https://breakingviewsnz.blogspot.com/2025/03/roger-partridge-feckless-presidents.html

I note he doesn’t address any of the points raised by Prof Allen who wrote a rebuttal to Partridge’s last rant. Partridge falls into the camp of “if we keep doing things the same way we might get a difference”, he still thinks in the old Cold War ways in terms of Russian and he does not recognise the so called long term allies have been sponging off the USA for decades.

As we all know NZI are major advisors to National.

Yesterday on HYS I had a rant about Pak’nSave, Wanganui insisting on a customer supplying personal information after spending over $1000 at their wretched shop.

Today The Herald https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/ird-says-paknsave-follows-law-by-demanding-personal-details-for-1000-plus-shopping-bills/6ACU6MQDRZEUDHZCI3ZBFPGEGQ/ offers an explanation & it makes for sorry reading. We are living in a police state where even the citizen’s weekly grocery shopping is subject to scrutiny.

#. “Pak’nSave followed the law by requesting customer details for purchases over $1000, per 2023 legislation.”

#. “Inland Revenue requires businesses to record customer details for large transactions to comply with tax rules.”

$1000 is not a large sum of money. It seems that the requirement slips under the radar at many retail outlets because purchases are automatically linked to loyalty cards which are backed with the shopper’s personal information. Personally I find the requirement intrusive, nosy & ultimately unnecessary. I could nearly get my head around a tax avoidance issue if cash was the payment medium but no financial institution issues debit or credit cards without verifying their customer’s details.

‘Tauhei Notts’ who often follows this forum has an accounting background. If he reads this he may do us the favour of explaining what’s behind the IRD’s brainfart.

I couldn’t actually believe that it was a legal requirement. Turns out it’s in the GST Act 1985, S 19E 2)

I’m curious though, what happens if you’ve paid for your goods but refuse to provide details. Or, if you provide details, presumably the supie has no right to request ID to verify them. Once you’ve paid for items, you own them and cannot legally be deprived of them, so the supie can’t choose to process a refund and repossess them. Nor can they detain you.

So my feeling is that you tell them to fuck off, and if anyone tries to stop you, threaten them with a charge of assault if they touch you. They also cannot prevent you from leaving if you haven’t committed a criminal act. And I’d suggest that the supie would be in trouble, not the customer.

The legislation:

Taxable supply information, for a taxable supply of goods or services, means,—
(a)
for a supply that is not referred to in paragraphs (d) to (g) and the consideration in money or money’s worth for the supply exceeds $1,000,—
(i)
the name and registration number of the supplier; and
(ii)
recipient details for the recipient; and
(iii)[Repealed]
(iv)
the date of the invoice, or where no invoice is issued, the time of supply; and
(v)
a description of the goods or services; and
(vi)
if the amount of tax charged is the tax fraction of the consideration for the supply, the amount of the consideration for the supply and a statement that the amount includes a charge in respect of tax; and
(vii)
if subparagraph (vi) does not apply, the total amount of tax charged for the supply, the consideration for the supply excluding the tax, and the consideration for the supply including the tax:

Stuff has an article about the vandalism of a pedestrian crossing in Berhampore. This time although it wasn’t the work of the Destiny Church. Rather it was representatives of a pack of benders & rug munchers who “enhanced” the crossing in poofy pastel shades.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360602577/group-behind-pride-colours-wellington-crossing-comes-forward

Back in 2021 the rainbow crossing on Cuba St had to be repainted after two years after petrolheads demonstrated their true feelings over it with burnt tyre rubber. The bill was prised out of the WCC via the OIA & amounted to $17716.48 + GST. From memory the cost of repainting the Gisborne crossing wasn’t much different.

The Berhampore vandals have been outed. Will the WCC demand payment for restoration or are the queers exempt?

Well, Governor, you need to confer with your wife and your priest, do a spreadsheet of projected options and their outcomes, allowing for inflation, talk to any confidants you have, assess with the Deputy Governor….

Couldn’t agree more Tarquin but hold your beer until his replacement has been announced.

NZ will receive the signal of which way the Nats want the country to go economically when the approved candidate has been appointed.

Aucklanders have been asked to take showers under four minutes long, use a trigger nozzle on hoses while watering gardens,
limit playing in sprinklers and use water pistols, balloons or small paddling pools instead, and limit watering gardens to early morning or late evening.

Certainly, together with all anything-else they can get their hands on.

They then sell it to the rest of the country (aka ‘The Peasants’) at exorbitant prices, before wondering why they are so heartily disliked.

Thanks for asking.

you put your left foot, then you put your left foot out. do the hokey pokey etc. Looked it up.

What is the hidden meaning of Hokey Pokey?

Some claim the song was composed in the 18th century to mock the words and actions of the Catholic Latin mass. “Hokey cokey” was said to derive from the term “hocus pocus”, a corruption of “hoc est corpus” (“this is my body”).

then this
What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it’s all about meaning?
life perhaps? After each body part has been in and out a few times, we shake it all about, do the Hokey Cokey and turn around – an interesting part of the process. This could translate into the evaluation of a particular life experience. The putting in and out of the body part is the experience.5 Jun 2020

and this,
What drug is Hokey Pokey?

The Cocaine Theory

The idea goes that life up in the mines was so boring that there was little else to do but sniff cocaine and, well, write songs about sniffing cocaine (the more things change…). Hence the “cokey-cokey”, which some argue actually inspired the later, much more innocent, “hokey-pokey”.1 Nov 2011

Victoria Nuland would be near the top of my list to be held accountable. She is largely responsible for the start of the whole Ukraine debacle, as well as what General Flynn says.

Is New Zealand’s Health System Failing?

Absolutely failing. A friends daughter had a baby in Auckland Hospital the other day. She needed surgery. The fucking light didn’t work and there was only one anaesthetist and he was busy. The left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing. Its a major organisational fuckup. The actual nurses and doctors are not to blame, but the managers and pen pushers.

Yup, but our clowns support Zelensky, who relies on Nazis to remain in power. Read this: https://mid.ru/en/foreign_policy/historical_materials/1920326/

Farmer who invented edible bale netting, Kiwi Econet, gets overseas interest in product.

The Orepuki deer farmer, who invented a non-polluting baleage wrap that animals can eat, has just received his first shipment of plant fibre bale netting from India.

Baleage is a way of storing forage to preserve it as livestock feed. The big round bales are normally fed out to dairy cows, beef cattle, sheep and deer over winter.
Up until now, the wrap that holds the feed bales together has been made out of plastic.
“You can’t recycle it, you can’t do anything with it. Some farmers bury it, some burn it. It’s a serious problem,” Lightfoot told Country Life.
Cows have also been known to eat discarded plastic bale netting.

Initially it was going to be made out of hemp fibre, but legal restrictions in the United States, relating to THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol – a psychoactive substance found in hemp at low levels), prevents the use of hemp and its byproducts in livestock feed.
“So for me, if I ever wanted to export to America, it was a no-no. So then I came up with jute fibre.”
