Another good frost – Another sunny day. My olden days “gang” group meeting up today – in Kaiapoi – long way to go for lunch but starting to get to where – better do these things while you can. About three of them cannot.
Can’t see the top of the hill, clouded over. Bit nippy first thing.
Good morning everyone, fine and bloody cold up this way. I’m busy preparing for the festivities on Matt and Ricky’s day off. Might have to work to make enough to pay the staff for not turning up. Thanks yet again Cindy.
My workplace is having a good old song and dance celebration to honour Matt and Ricky.
Amazing how the org. thinks it’s cool to waste their customers’ money on having staff practice in work time, and then have people sit around watching the garbage instead of working.
Just hope they don’t call in sick and you have to pay them 2 more days for nothing.
Riverdance was apparently invented by an Irish family with 7 kids… and just one toilet.
But only became popular after eating grandmas stew that gave them a diarrhea stomach bug.
eating blight infected spuds would do the same too
Stunning morning in the Waikato. Crisp, cold and loads of sunshine.
Who is not surprised the gov doesn’t trust the public as adults to know stuff. We might all lose our shit if we understood how things actually work. //

Greens & TPM Push Govt To Cede Sovereignty To Māori
WhangareiTim
Im all in favour of Maori sovereignty and living in their own land – Northland perhaps or an offshore island were they can do whatever they like withinterference from us whities or our tax dollars – vote for little willy as chief and give him a appropriate Maori Name R Sole.
I’m enjoying the steamy heat of the rainy season in Kyushu, Japan. It’s great to have train announcements and TV news with garnishes of an extinct language. You really realize how woke NZ is when you travel in a country that has pride in its own dominant culture. If Japan were like NZ, and I were visiting Hokkaido, all public announcements would begin with a phrase in Ainu.
In Japan, my BS meter needle is in the “safe” zone, but it will be buried in the red zone as soon as I step on to my Air NZ flight back to Auckland at the end of the month.
If Maori truly believed that original languages should dominate those of newer arrivals then TV news & government publications would be written in ta re Moriori.
And sent out on the airwaves by smoke signals.
Peaceful Waitaha believed that to take a life was to destroy your own.
Cannibal The Maori believed that to take a life, commit rape, or slavery, was to earn street cred.
They still believe that Dylan.
The safety video before you even take off should send you over the edge.

NZ Census scrapped as Govt moves to monthly inflation figuresThe days of trying to get every New Zealander to fill out a Census form are over.
Minister of Statistics Dr Shane Reti announced today that Stats NZ will move to an admin-data-first Census.
This means using data the Government has already collected when trying to assemble datasets that include every New Zealanders.
For example, instead of asking your income on a Census form, Stats NZ could ask Inland Revenue how much you earn.
Reti also announced that from 2027, Stats NZ will deliver monthly, rather than quarterly, inflation figures.

And as we know from an recent census in the Czech Republic, published a few months ago, post vaccine census data is alarming. Birth rates have dropped 65% in the vaccinated. Roughly 1/3 were unvaccinated and 2/3 vaccinated.
2/3 of all new births are from the 1/3 unvaccinated portion of the population. 1/3 of new births are from the 2/3 vaccinated portion of the population. And among the vaccinated, many women experienced multiple miscarriages before finally having a full term pregnancy.
“We are going to inject you with a new AI vaccine that has not been tested, for a tweaked version of the flu, tweaked courtesy of “health experts”.
One that we blocked our staff from taking.
One was that promoted wide and far by said “health experts”, who were also investors in companies and technology producing the vaccine.
And one where all world leaders that agreed to mass mandate their populations were given $20m and saline solution replacement instead of the vaccine.
And those world leaders that didn’t agree were given lead injections.”
How will Stats NZ know whether I am a Maori or Pacific Islander to boost up their numbers of Indigenous Grifters?
you forgot about the most important question last census… gender and sexuality.
we avoided the census along with many others, it was a big “fuck you govt cunts” after the way theyd treated us the past few years and the tranny shit in the census was the final straw.
looks like we suceded, fuck the nosey cunts, 95% of the data they seek is already held in various govt departments anyways.
Doing a DOGE will soon get it right.
The big thing about using IT intelligently is to use its ability to grab info from one database and compare it to another. IRD and WINZ have the databases to start with, then you can add in customs and hatched, matched and dispatched, with addresses in many places and pictures from your passport and driver’s licenses and with the grunt the new NVIDIA processors will give them, will be done in about 10 minutes.
Just spent the last 3 months building a system to use different databases to do lots of different little bits of jobs within our work program.
As an add-on to a system used worldwide. Just been released. Hopefully, make a few dollars from it.
Lot of work and a lot of time and of course that’s cost.
I thought you identified as a cat a long time ago.
That TAH is a cool cat.
Bugger, can’t lie on the bloody thing now,
Sounds like everybody else did too.
Well that will save a shitload on food for the natives!
Now in part, one may come to understand the necessity of increased super diversity plus urban sprawl, to build more new houses, to accomodate the population increase via immigration.,
Of course the best land, like around Pukekohe, not only in soils but also in climate, is to drive those horticulture, vege growers to move, like to dairy farms, even if they are not the best places.
(pg. 5/9) 12. While the Commission’s projections were initially based on MPI data provided in September 2020, they made a number of key assumptions that would result in greater decreases in future agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. These include:—
a) a 15 percent decrease in stock numbers across the dairy, beef, and sheep sec or by 2030, compared to 2018 figures;
b) conversion of dairy land to horticulture at an annual rate of 2,000 hectares; and
c) selective breeding for lower emissions sheep, resulting in decrease in biogenic methane emissions from sheep and beef farming by one and a half percent and three percent for 2030 and 2035 respectively.
https://www.mpi.govt.nz/dmsdocument/52771-Climate-Change-Commissions-draft-advice-Key-recommendations-for-the-agriculture-sector-B21-0099#:~:text=These%20include%3A%20a
Planting more Net Zero Carbonific Pines or ‘natives’ will also reduce sheep numbers.
This all aligns with Green Party Policy, to reduce dairy cows by 50%
https://www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/story/op-ed-too-many-cows/#:~:text=There%20are%20no%20techno%2Dfixes,worst%20performers%20on%20emissions%20reduction
Along with Labour Party of wanting some green fig leafs, and likewise with the TEAL National Party, who do not want to scare the
horsesdairy-cow, & sheep & cattle farmer voters.Soon there will be more freezing works-meat processor closures, and do not be surprised at fewer dairy factories.
…..”selective breeding for lower emissions sheep”……
A long term solution to a non existent problem that will hamper improvements in other traits. Practically it is only possible to breed for two points at a time.
For over twenty-five years I bred for worm resistance & improved killing weights by careful selection of breeding ewes & introducing rams from like minded ram studs. I was moderately successful.
Were I starting today the selection would be for fart quality & one other point. Which one would be sacrificed?
Can we have some policy to reduce green voters by 50 percent!
I’ve watched a few Youtube videos by Ken Cao recently. He talks about what is going on in China and suggests, among other things, Xi’s days in power are numbered. He is not the only one saying this. From his handle it looks like the guy is from Taiwan, so there could bias in his commentary, but what he says makes sense.

two charges filed under the Health and Safety at Work Act relate to failures by KiwiRail to keep crew and passengers safe while on-board the ferry.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/564489/maritime-nz-files-charges-against-kiwirail-over-aratere-ferry-grounding
So who was injured or killed.
Are they meaning some were stressed out, and now suffering PTSD?
Would seem there will soon be no KiwiRail ferries crossing the Cook Strait?
You would expect to see injuries or blood.
Maybe now days soiled undies or vomit count as injuries. People have been throwing up on the inter-islander since forever. Not everyone has sea legs, even in calm crossings.
Or perhaps it is just hurty feelz.
I note that if Health and Safety prosecute over hurty feelz on the inter-islander, how big a court case and what are the penalties for Ardern sending people to their death, injuries, suicide etc, over recklessness in respect of the mRNA vaccine and fake pandemic lockdowns?
None of the 47 passengers and crew aboard were injured and the ship was refloated just under 24 hours later.
A preliminary Transport Investigation Commission report found the event started with an autopilot mistake.
Maritime NZ chief executive Kirstie Hewlett said the two charges filed under the Health and Safety at Work Act related to failures by KiwiRail to keep crew and passengers safe while on board the ferry.
“This was a complex incident and important investigation given it focussed on KiwiRail bringing in new systems to older vessels and broader safety management.”
Juist paper work bullshit and some idot dept trying to get its money back. Tine Seymour cancelled these bastards as well.
Must have been visiting the coroners office to learn how to drag out proceedings!
What an utter debacle my day turned into. A grain truck had overturned on the Waikato expressway this morning. I joined the queue into one lane approx 2-3km south of the accident site and 47 minutes later along with hundreds of other vehicles in both directions passed the accident site. The cops were doing their ‘essential measuring’ work. The grain truck had jack knifed and looked like it had crossed the grass and wire rope barrier to end with its trailer on its side.
I finished what I went into town for and traffic on the back roads was horrendous. I hope nobody died but delays to those going about their business must need to be a factor in having an essential artery closed so long.
I watch on Prime, a program about tow truckers in British Columbia called “Highway through hell” Its about these trucks and how they clear the roads after horrific crashes between vehicles , mostly trucks. What strikes me is how the cops cannot get the highways cleared fast enough, No measuring, no red cones out for weeks, Just get in there, do the job and open the highway.
do they do all the same crash investigation crap over there?
i seen a similar program, maybe even same one and there was a huge pile up, couldve been near on 100 vehicles of alsorts and they had to come in and clear it out.
fun times, bet they charge like wounded bulls for it too i know i would if i got left to deal with so much bullshit
careful whinging about traffic queues, oh great one from tauranga will start demanding an 800million road be constructed so next time a driver has a whoopsie no one will be inconvenienced.
The best idea you have had in a year.
Thank you for your undieing support.
We of the hoi polloi don’t matter. The Gods of Precise & Multiple Measurements will decree the road open within in twelve hours or when it suits them, whichever comes last.
Now they recon a truck carrying dirty asbestos has crashed!
so who rekons trump will become yet another POS president joining wars and bombing other countries?
well technically hes been allowing it to happen in other countries but as a continuation.
israel needs the yanks bombers and big fuck off bunker busters to destroy irans nuke facilities but even then they may not be successful.
ill be very fucking suprised if trump dosent do it, im certain hes to go full retard and become that piece of shit all his haters say he is.
its israel he shouldve been putting the hard word on, yeah irans a POS too but israel kicked off this latest scrap and now theyre having a cry iran as firing back.
odd how russia is the agressor in the ukraine scrap so russias bad bad bad but now israel is an agressor theyre the good guys… get fucked, theyre all scum. iran and israel equally deserve to be destroyed and i hope i live to see the day iran nukes the fuck outve manipulative scum israel. they deserve every last bitof misery.
tucker carlson was very pro trump, elon was pretty much sucking off trump… do you lot ever question why 2 guys that were really close with trump are now calling him out?
its no coincidence, they know trumps turning into the piece of shit the TDS folk already think he is.
tucker and elon are fuckwits themselves but at least they have the balls to speak out.
Not true about Tucker loving Trump:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64886188
Hoping for the use of Nukes is rather short sighted imo. It’s not like the 1940’s these things are wide spread now and once started could escalate dramatically.
worlds fucked anyways.
turn those shitholes to glass and no one will miss them.
civilizations ALWAYS collapse, we’re coming due for one (probs overdue tbh) so may aswell have something to signal it 🙂 humans are a shit species, we dont deserve to inhabit earth.
but yeah id rather the giant asteroid over a few thousand nukes, but meh 6 one half dozen the other itll still get the job done.
Three couples are walking in the park one day; two straight couples and one gay couple.
Thunder strikes and in a flash of light, all three couples find themselves at St. Peter’s gate. They are about to be judged.
St. Peter calls the first couple forward and tells the man; “sir, your sin was gluttony. You loved food so much that you even married a woman named Candy. I cannot allow you to enter the kingdom of heaven.”
Peter claps his hands once, and the couple vanishes. All that remains of them is a cinder on the ground.
He then beckons the other straight couple forward and tells the man; “sir your sin was greed. You loved money so much that you even married a woman named Penny.” You are unworthy of the kingdom of heaven.” He claps his hands again, and all that’s left of the couple is a puff of smoke.
One of the gay guys then turns to his boyfriend and says, “It doesn’t look good, Dick.”
New power is on the way for Housing Minister Chris Bishop to override local councils.
The Cabinet has agreed to implement a new rule that allows for them to “modify or remove provisions in local council plans if they negatively impact economic growth, development, or employment”.
The new regulation is temporary and will be in place until the Coalition Government’s new planning system comes into effect.
The Government aims to replace the Resource Management Act (RMA) with a Natural Environment Act and a Planning Act.
Reforms to the RMA include things like: creating a single set of residential and commercial zoning rules which local councils can use to plan their districts and allowing people to build on their property unless it significantly impacts the natural environment or the ability of others to use their own land.
Speaking at the Wellington Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday morning, Bishop told the audience: “It is an inarguable, and sometimes uncomfortable, fact that local government has been one of the largest barriers to housing growth in New Zealand.”
Bishop says the Cabinet plans to add this interim measure to the RMA Amendment Bill that is before Parliament and it is expected the new regulation will be passed into law in the next few weeks.
But there is a caveat before this power can be used – the housing minister has to investigate, consider a council’s “consistency with existing national direction” under the RMA and engage with the local authority.
“We believe this strikes the appropriate balance between the local and national interest.”
“…We aren’t willing to let a single line in a district plan hold back millions or billions in economic potential. If local councillors don’t have the courage to make the tough decisions, we will do it for them.
“Let me be absolutely clear: the days of letting councils decide that growth shouldn’t happen at all are over.”
Discussion document for “Going for Housing Growth” plan
Alongside this new regulation, Bishop also released a new discussion document about the Government’s “Going for Housing Growth” plan and in particular, its Pillar 1 proposals.
The plan has three pillars and the first pillar looks at “freeing up land for urban development, including removing unnecessary planning barriers”.
This includes proposals such as:
The discussion document is open for public submissions until August 17.
Bishop says the discussion document is a “critical step” in shaping a system that “finally puts housing supply, economic growth, and common sense at its core”.
“We are not interested in tinkering. We are building a planning system where housing growth is not just allowed – it’s expected. Where councils are accountable for delivering capacity, not blocking it.”
While any move to dilute the power of local authorities is generally to be applauded I’m less than enthusiastic over the proposal to abolish minimum floor areas.
Any accommodation that can be bought can also be rented out & it won’t be long before the scavengers who flatteringly refer to themselves as property investors move in to clip the ticket. This will inevitably result in families paying exorbitant rent to live, Singaporean style, in dingy, high rise, poorly constructed hovels of 300 sq/ft.
The next step down in the race to the bottom is known as “hot bedding” where you rent a bed in a room for eight hours/day.
The future looks grim.
All that exists already. but actually, I agree.
just an announcement of a discussion. dont get too excited and certainly dont hold your breath
Melatonin to be sold over-the-counter; psilocybin to be prescribed 3:30 pm today
The government has signalled melatonin will become available over the counter, and psilocybin – magic mushrooms – will be available for patients with treatment-resistant depression.
Psilocybin will still be an “unapproved medicine” but will be able to be granted under the authority of one specific highly experienced psychiatrist.
Melatonin is a natural hormone that helps induce sleep, and is used to treat insomnia and jet lag, but has been classified as a prescription-only medicine in New Zealand.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/564504/melatonin-to-be-sold-over-the-counter-psilocybin-to-be-prescribed
wtf, you can already buy melatonin tho. and if ya want real grunty shit ya just online order gummies from the states.
mushies are also free and easily available this time of year at your local park or gardens.
psilocybin is something i wouldnt mind having a go microdosing at some stage, youd probs benefit from a dose or 2 aswell old chap.
I seem to recall that there was opinion on here that the 2020 presidential election wasn’t rigged. Seems if that was true it wasn’t for the want of trying.
https://gellerreport.com/2025/06/fbi-intel-china-fake-drivers-licenses-to-fake-mail-in-ballots.html/?lctg=64860325
i think near all ysb folk at the time believe trump was screwed over and the election rigged.
if they did rig it then it backfired big time, trump had time to regroup and re enter office with a plan and lots of stuff in place ready to go.
trump wouldnt have got a fraction of his stuff through as hes managed so far, its just a pity hes now contemplating being a typical warring president, i hope his america first mantra keeps his head in the game and keeps america a spectator.

Excellent clip WG. The damage The Arch Bitch caused has to be seen in a NZ context. Not that of the USSR of a century back nor the PRC of Mao’s time.
It matters not how much we despise the Mad Queen. We can never despise her sufficiently to equate with the damage she occasioned.

IAASB has become addicted to Viagra & it’s upsetting the whole family.
Mrs IAASB is taking it especially hard.
He would need that so that he could find his minor weiner, especially on these frosty mornings.
Make him countersunk.
Probably wraps it in masking tape with a string attached, kinda a male tampon.
yawn, you have good knowledge you sure thats not your party trick old chap?
at least mine still works, even better ive still got someone to put it to good use with 🙂
youve probs forgotten what getting a boners like and long forgotten the taste and feel of a nice warm moist vag.
