Morning Troopers,

So if social workers want parity with air traffic controllers (one of the most stressful jobs around), then no doubt air traffic controllers will want parity with doctors. Which of course means social workers will need parity with doctors by virtue of the fact that they need parity with air traffic controllers. But bin collectors will want parity with social workers, so they too need to be paid as much as doctors. So everybody needs to be paid as much as doctors. And there you have it – everyone’s happy.

But wait. . . .doctors will need to be paid as much as brain surgeons.

So if social workers want parity with air traffic controllers…

That is a base argument of sincere socialists. Sincere Socialists are the ones that drank the Koolaid supplied by the Tyrants and believe the socialist bullshit of nirvana, and that socialism actually works.

I had those exact discussions in my youth with socialists saying that broom pushers and brain surgeons should be paid the same. And always the proponent of those discussions were the broom pushers, not the brain surgeons. Essentially it is the lazy and unmotivated wanting wealth without having to earn it, i.e. theft. The core premise behind socialism is theft.

I know a few pilots, and the sacrifices they went through to be at the top of their game.

So when I get on a plane, especially international, I pray the pilot is on at least $300k+ so that his wife didn’t have to work, and focused on the home and children, and so that he had the money and time to get an engineering degree and/or a physics degree on the side, built his own microlight, or own and fly a Cessna, so that he is an expert in aerodynamics and how planes respond..

Because is something goes wrong, he is well equipped to understand how to deal with it, and land us safely. A pilot like that is worth $165 an hour equivalent. A lazy socialist broom pusher, or water-sider union goon, would be lucky to be worth $25 per hour.

“Pay equity” is just another term for theft i.e. socialism.

If a Pilot is worth $165 an hour but L(I)awyers charge $450 an hour who would you trust most with you life, so pay equity should work in reverse, a Pilot of a 737 is in charge of 200+ lives and a $100 Million piece of kit, a lawyer has about $10 k of office stuff and their frequent failures cost them nothing. A fairer way would be a base wage of $25 an hour and a % of sucessful results whihc would see many fewer lawyers and some of them drawing beneifts to make up thir living costs.

The highest salaries seem to be those of city council CEOs.
Imagine paying a trolley dolly in a library the same as a City Council CEO.
That’s the absurdity of this junk legislation.

On the other hand, what makes these CEO’s worth that much?
Most seem to be utterly useless or like our lot of ex-policemen with control freak attitudes towards the ratepayers.

Perhaps the legislation would be better operating in reverse.

Oldy but a goody – don’t know if it’s true or not:

“An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a single student before but had, once, failed an entire class.

The class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said ok, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism. All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.

After the first test the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. But, as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too; so they studied little …

The second Test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F. The scores never increased as bickering, blame, name calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for anyone else. All failed to their great surprise and the professor told them that socialism would ultimately fail because the harder to succeed the greater the reward but when a government takes all the reward away; no one will try or succeed.”

So the geriatric Maori got heckled, and now the person’s employer is going to attempt to shut down his freedom to speak based on some woke company policy.
Cancel Tonkin and Tailor from your call list.

Man who heckled Winston Peters under investigation by employer for ‘disruption caused’The man who heckled Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters at a policy announcement on Tuesday morning is under investigation by his employer over the incident.
Winston Peters squared off with a heckler in front of dozens of commuters at his Government announcement for more than $600 million of rail funding.
Engineering consultancy company Tonkin & Taylor has now confirmed that the man involved in the incident with Peters was an employee of theirs.

In a statement, they said they are investigating in line with their code of conduct, but would not be making any further comments due to privacy reasons.
“At Tonkin + Taylor, we take our responsibilities as a major New Zealand employer seriously. We do not condone behaviour that falls short of our code of conduct,” they said.

Never mind the man’s right to speak his mind in a public space.
Never mind that Peters has built his lie doing the same shit.

Cancel the buggers so they get the message that people have a right to have their say, always have and that supressing free speech is not acceptable.

No doubt junior from the south will want a scrap and tell us whining winny was right.

My take here is

MORE MOney thrown at the sinkhole of rail.

The Capex is Billions a year
and the Opex (operational side) is subsidized by up to 90%
depends on route

The Hamilton to Auckland train could be replaced by buying a brand new Suzuki swift for each of 4 train users.
The taxpayer could pay for fuel, insurance, R+M, full cost
and still be better off.

One person could pick up 3 others from their door and get to the destination quicker and cheaper than the 1800s solution of a train.

the coalition is throwing more money away
I have a vague recollection of a training video in the 1980s with John Cleese acting in it
Where the company was throwing more money at problems…. which exceeded its income. It was cashflow negative. Under water.

Maybe willyless could track it down and learn something
She DOES have a lot to learn.

V2, I thought freedom of speech in this country was ones right under the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1992 and people were allowed such. When did speaking ones mind and offering an opinion in your own free time allow an Employer to take disciplinary action especially when the Employer (Tonkin and Taylor) name, or the speakers association or relationship with his employer, is not bought into the matter.

If any disciplinary action is taken against this man, I think both Mr Tonkin and Mr Taylor, if they are still upright, or their subordinates may find themselves spending a bit of time before the. Employment Court where they will loose.

As an employee I am bound by a code of conduct. Any public statements must not reflect on my employer and as such I need to make sure I do not implicate my employer in any private matters. He failed there. If I recall correctly, you’re self employed IAASB? If so, your view point might be influenced by having no restrictions placed upon you by speaking out. Us wage slaves don’t have that privilege.

Have to disagree. what I say here or anywhere else has fuck all to do with my business views.
I do occasionally have to remind some nutcase customer that they are completely able to go to someone else and annoy the shit out of them.
In this case the mistake is all T & T. They have bought any condemnation on themselves, which you get from woke HR, by even replying to the arsewipes who made the noise in the first place. They should have told them that a person in their own time can say what they like so long as it doesn’t affect his/her work and relations when they are on paid time.
If it affects his work at work, then they have a process to deal with that.
A decent lawyer can win that.

After all, he is entitled to say what his political persuasions are, attend political rallies, speak out against his council,(well, should be). And surely they don’t want to stifle that, because that’s the implication of their actions..
Or perhaps they do?

• 12:28pm

Former eye surgeon Philip Macdonald.John Cowpland

  • Napier eye surgeon Dr Philip Macdonald decided in 2021 he didn’t want to get the Covid-19 vaccine.
  • He continued to see patients despite being unregistered and unvaccinated.
  • Macdonald was convicted and fined $21,500 in December.

A well-regarded Napier eye surgeon handed in his medical registration after he refused the Covid-19 vaccine in 2021 – but continued working for a few months, believing he could under an organisation claiming to be a “tikanga based” alternative to the Medical Council.
He’s now failed to have his 19 convictions overturned.
Dr Philip Macdonald was charged by the Ministry of Health and was found guilty on all charges under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act.

He was fined $21,500 with Judge Richard Earwalker refusing to discharge him without conviction last year.

So the question must be, was he incompetent, or was this a bullying action by the Health practitioners, and should that lot be shut down?

  • Then of course, we have a Judge, another dud prick with a clipboard mentality.

As a surgeon he wouldn’t have acted alone. Did the judge also fine the theatre staff, the cleaners, and any other staff that may have assisted him in his daily work?

Depends what he did, of course. Some eye treatments, like laser and so on, don’t necessarily need others except for office functions. Had a couple of cataracts done lately and that requires a team, but the adjustment that I needed didn’t, just the surgeon.
Still doesn’t change the fact that these outfits are plain fucking Nazi’s. Lawyers, teachers and all.

UK suspends free trade talks with Israel and announces sanctions over West Bank settlers
British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the government couldn’t continue discussions on an existing trade agreement with an Israeli government pursuing what he called egregious policies in Gaza and the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
“History will judge them,” Lammy said. “Blocking aid. Expanding the war. Dismissing the concerns of your friends and partners. This is indefensible. And it must stop.”

He wants those shoes so much

After about 2 months he saves

Luigi seizes this opportunity to wear his new Armani leather shoes for the first time.
He asks Sophia to dance and as they dance he asks her,

Startled, Sophia replies,
‘Yes, Luigi , I do wear red panties tonight, but how do you know?’
Luigi answers,’I see the reflection in my new £300 Armani leather shoes. How do you like them?’
Next he asks Rosa to dance, and after a few minutes he asks, ‘ Rosa , doyou wear white panties tonight?’
Rosa answers, ‘Yes, Luigi , I do, but how do you know that?’
He replies, ‘I see the reflection in my new £300 Armani leather shoes… How do you like them?’
Now as the evening is almost over and the last song is being played, Luigi asks Carmela to dance.
Midway through the dance his face turns red…
He states, ‘Carmela, be stilla my heart. Please, please tell me you wear no panties tonight. Please, please, tella me this true!’
Carmela smiles coyly and answers, ‘Yes Luigi , I wear no panties tonight…’
Luigi gasps, ‘Thanka Fuck ….

There is a photo of an older English man on the lead of this story. I was in a Tooting Suoermarket (South London) in 2005 one evening. There was a very dapper dressed old gentleman, suit, bow tie and carrying a small shopping basket, much older than the man in the photo, would think way into his 80’s. He was surrounded by locals who were mainly coloured skin and very hard to understand language all around. I remember looking at this poor man, a relic from the past, who had probably lived in this area all his life and just wondered what he thought now.
20 years on would suspect there are now very few white people at all in that Supermarket now.

According to Brave AI we are still pushing the vax to anyone over 30.
“As of August 1, 2024, New Zealand’s policy does not allow healthy adults under 30 years of age to access regular additional (booster) doses of COVID-19 vaccines, which is out of line with other countries’ policies.1 The policy allows adults aged 30 and over to access the bivalent booster vaccine if it has been at least 6 months since their last dose or positive COVID-19 test.4 Additionally, some employers may still require workers to be vaccinated due to their responsibilities under health and safety legislation.”

If people are fucking stupid, get as many boosters as you like. I don’t mind living in a country where the daft remove themselves from the gene pool and society.

He successfully appealed his 18-month contempt sentence

some seriously fucked up people in thew world. He was a Democrat, and a Vegan, Atheist, and Satanist ( How you can claim to be both is beyond me). Also an anti natalist, misandrist and a promortalist. Fortunately he blew himself into tiny pieces, but he could have killed a whole bunch of people.

(Nothing against Atheists here, just posting what he claimed). The other categories are all fucked up.

“The suicide car bombing outside a Palm Springs, California, fertility clinic that killed the bomber and injured four other people was carried out by a pro-mortalist domestic terrorist named Guy Edward Bartkus, who appears to have detonated the explosive in Saturday’s attack.”

Leftist gain virtue from the groups they belong too. Stands to reason the more personal suffering they signal the more virtue they raise for themselves. 🌈 🍆 🥒

It should fetch a good price should it exist. Not mortgaged to any ethereal being & uncontaminated by supernaturalist crap it would be the equivalent of finding a pristine WW1 era Rolls Royce with only delivery miles on the clock.

As my advisor in matters metaphysical I hope you drive a hard bargain. 🙂

The problem is dealing with God who is timid, honest and charitable, verse the Devil that is dishonest, conniving and malevolent. However, I have it on good authority that He is attending Harvard and attending Ardern’s lectures to up his game. I might strike a deal in his temporary absence.

Just seen this linked on Facebook! Times are changing!

Dr. Kenji Yamamoto, a world-renowned Japanese cardiovascular surgeon, is sounding the alarm over surging reports of immunodeficiency among people who received repeated doses of Covid mRNA “vaccines.”
Yamamoto, of the Okamura Memorial Hospital in Shizuoka, has raised concerns regarding the safety of repeated Covid mRNA “vaccinations.”
He has now issued a warning in a paper published (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s44337-025-00274-0 )in the Virology Journal.
Yamamoto hypothesizes that frequent “booster” doses may impair immune function.
The “vaccines” are leading to surging cases of an AIDS-like condition that has become known as vaccine-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (VAIDS).

I have never had any time for Michael Bassett.
Part of the liebour 1980s govt that baked in unemployment and blandly lay the country spread eagled to be f**ked over and over by weakly accepting every international mandate verbatim;
while others nodded their head and …then did it differently.

now the nastiness of this ditzy old twat has come to fruition
https://www.bassettbrashandhide.com/post/michael-bassett-president-trump

His TDS is running free.

To show how loony tunes Bassett is, here are some extracts

1
(re Trump) I doubt he has ever been a regular reader of newspapers or a listener to TV except perhaps to his beloved Fox News

Burnt-out Bassett suggests we should watch teevee (never!) or read raging, red, biased newspapers.
Bassett must have sun fried tomatoes in his head.

anyhow, why would you read newspapers when you are the No 1 person making news.
You know the truth, then.

2
Then sun-fried Bassett does a whole paragraph rant that Russia invaded Ukraine without provocation.

3
sun fried bassett
I’ve never known a time in my life when there was so much uncertainty about international security.

What??
The world is sorting out the issues. well Trump is.
The world is becoming more secure.
I was more horrified in August 1990 when US essentially declared war on Iraq- who had been its puppet warrior against Iran for 8 years; only finishing a year before.
or
the US backed Arab Spring of 2011
and more

4
old sun-fried Mickey should ask the nurses to wheel him out of the rest home into some sunlight for a few hours

MB>
My scrambled egg theory explains not only the president’s behaviour when he opens his mouth, but also his recent conduct over the imposition of tariffs on other countries. One minute they are 10%, then 45%, then 145%

After all these weeks mickey does not realise these are ploys and several major FTAs have been done in the last 10 days
but Mickey still likes the idea of these FTAs dragging on for years while the bureaucrats milk them for air miles, hotels and luxury from the taxpayer.

—————-
Michael Bassett is a moron and wrecked communities in 1989 with his Local Authority mergers.
There were never any cost savings, only increases. with reduced direct democracy.

Bassett can chew tobacco and spit some bile with donny Brash over their mutual TDS.

I dont normally read BassettBrHide
as it is low quality like this one
It was from a posted link
Damn, now my lunch wont taste as good.

…..”Michael Bassett is a moron”…..

Doubtful. His TDS suggests that he & his braincells are not as one on that issue but in many other aspects Basset is the antithesis of a doctrinal, low intellect, former Labour minister.

He does not tick the boxes indicating support for state intervention, he is far to the right of Alopecia Jesus on Maori issues & is generally a poor advocate for wokeness & cultural cringe.

I don’t have to agree with everything someone writes to consider their viewpoints worthy of a read.

He was the architect of local government “reform” that gave us the bloated, out of touch councils we are forced to endure today. For that he should never be forgiven.

It’s what Clark did that caused the bloat. She allowed the councils the rules of general competence. This allows councils to do anything they like. That wasn’t in the original changes AFIRC

“I dont normally read BassettBrHide”

The reward is that 100% of the comments there see through Basset, pointing out Basset’s TDS, ..
… and it is good to see some understanding of what Trump is trying to do,

Some comments from elsewhere. 🙃

“Trump will not find perfect solutions.
He will find OPTIMAL solutions.
We cannot ask for more.”

“They [opposition Labour or Democrats] will attempt to get you to make the perfect the enemy of the good.”

As howitis mentions, what solutions to non-existent problems did they come up with, and then did they work at all?

I’m uncertain that the Mad Queen would suit orange. Fortunately in NZ’s ‘home away from home’ prisons she may have options. From https://www.corrections.govt.nz/resources/policy_and_legislation/Prison-Operations-Manual/Property/P.04-Standard-prison-issue-property

Green – remand accused

Grey – remand convicted and sentenced

Orange or maroon – remand convicted or sentenced if the site wishes to further identify classes of prisoners within these groups or by location (e.g. unit).

Prisons may screen print prison owned clothing of any colour detailed above to further identify classes of prisoners or location.

Other prisoner clothing colours specific to industries may be supplied, examples include white items for use in kitchens, orange / yellow hi viz items and other PPE where industry standards require them.

I suspect that mentioning the author & the publisher of this tribute in advance may not be the best way to entice YSB stalwarts to read it. Nevertheless Tom Scott’s eulogy to the recently departed Bob Jones is too good to ignore. From https://newsroom.co.nz/2025/05/21/tom-scott-farewells-bob-jones/ :

#. “Bob invented Fake News long before it became a thing. After Muldoon called the snap election in 1984, the NZ Party swung into action and selected an impressive raft of candidates. Bob allowed television news crews a quick peek from the door into their campaign headquarters in downtown Wellington – it resembled the Houston space flight control centre on steroids. Gorgeous women sat at clacking keyboard and flickering screens while fax machines and printers buzzed and hummed. Bob told me later that computer companies renting office space from him were induced to provide the electronics and he provided the women. It was an elaborate ruse designed to demoralise National and it worked.”

#. “Bob’s death, while a shock, was not entirely unexpected – for most of his life he burnt millions of candles at both ends. There was no one else like him and there will never be anyone like him again, proof, if any were needed, that God doesn’t make the same mistake twice. “
