A warning from one who knows, who went through it
I vote for her to become Miss World. 🙂
Her speech seals the deal. 🙂
….. First it was pulling down the statues.
Changing street names. …..
Changing school curriculum. ….
….. & so on, & so forth. …..
…… …..

1 minute.
I take this warning to heart, 🙂 🙂 🙂
She sees things as they are.
Good morning, to a good wake up call. 🙂
AND, its happening all around the Western World. This person (am I allowed to call her a person is that banned yet???) speaks so much sense. It is a great warning to us all, but only a few will see it as such, others will say Oh its not going to be like that when we do it. Of Course not. Great post Simpleton1 and yes a good wake up call to us all.

Of Course not but there are great examples of how it is for them to review, it. is always like that. Great post Simpleton1 and yes a good wake up call to us all.
Maybe its time for the kids to go home and let their parents or grandparents explain to them the facts of life. Anarchy never ends well for anyone.
oh oh , the Bubba Wallace NASCAR story is starting to fall apart ,Jussie Smolett all over again maybe?
What can be expected from a wholly untruthful organisation like BLM .
Apparently the unseen “noose” was nothing more than a tow rope thrown on the car by one of the crew FFS.
The fans of NASCAR will rip NASCAR a “new one” for going so “woke”.
Good thing NASCAR has security cameras everywhere! 🙂
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/06/hate-hoax-doj-investigating-noose-found-black-nascar-drivers-garage-stall/
So the truth will be squeezed out, eventually.
It looks like ‘Bubba’ is a real supporter of Burning, Looting, & Marauding.
Yes indeed – NASCAR fans will make sure he gets paid back. Either that or it will die as a cash cow – fans had no problem deserting NFL when they went woke.
So David Rankin from northland maori Ngapuhi wrote an editorial titled “Turangawaewae,why it must come down” and the Herald published it and then withdrew it quickly.
Rankin stated that the place was used to enslave his people for cannibalism,sexual slavery and slave markets and should be taken down like some of the statues being removed because of colonisation .
This guy has got the cheek of the devil ,who the F–K does he think he is spreading truthfulness around our country ,this has gotta stop NOW.
I can find links but the article seems to have been sanitised away. I have previously read some good pieces from David Rankin. Would be good to see this one if someone has a link back to it.
Black Lives Matter, but more like totally racist.
A protester got pushed to the ground by D.C. Police after putting his hands on an officer, according to an eyewitness.
The protester got in the officer’s face and ranted at him.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1275232893200105477
May have to scroll down to the half naked bun tattooed white guy ranting on that police officer that he has racially profiled.
2 minutes 18 secs.

More like pulling down Western Civilisation.
FFS, Drunken Garner spent a full ten minutes drumming up a theory about some homeless person living for two weeks at a quarantine facility being a National Party Lie .
Garner’s nose smells like the Labour Party arse crack more and more every passing day,it’s gotta be because of the upcoming extra dollars that the COL may be issuing to the media.
I saw it as critising what I saw as very good work by Michael Woodhouse, to make a diversion to protect the woeful non performance of David Clarke masquerading as a Minister of Health.
Minister Woods is not impressing me by generating the diversion from her colleague Health Ministerial failure to perform and the Prime Ministers failure to deal with that.
And the attack on Dr Ashley Bloomfield, who has seemingly taken on both roles as DG and Minister of Health, when flaws in the governments handling of the quarantine are exposed.
Bottom line for me is that the supposed great management of COVID-19 is exposed as a sham as the debt mounts up and the failed quarantine and poor border management is exposed.
The government has let us down badly. Did ego get above sound consideration and good sense?
Reality may be that immunity to the virus is limited and reduces rapidly for those who have had it yet lose antibodies soon after. That antibodies are quickly lost suggests a vaccine solution may not be realistic as an expectation.
Do my eyes deceive me or has that once-cute Ashley Bloomfield aged about 10 years in the last three months. He’s dropped a good few kgs as well and is starting to look like he’s been sleeping rough.
David Clark however looks fed and well-rested ….
A good question. My answer is; I don’t care.
How did he ever get a job on tv3 morning TV? He speaks so quickly that it doesn’t register in his head before he speaks. I think shows how pathetic the reporters/journalists are in New Zealand. That he was the best they could come up with????? TV for me in the mornings is a no go area. Vomit material on both Chanels
Lizziep, its quite sad that NZ morning tv is probably watched by a lot of people for no other reason than its like “watching a train wreck” and in nz its a train wreck to protect the left. SHAME.
Helps to understand some of the background of Trump’s foreign affairs stance, & why Bolton differs
….. when President Trump appointed Bolton to serve as his national security adviser in 2018, many were certain that working together, the two men would take America’s superpower stature to new heights.
Alas, the two men’s common sense of the general thrust of US national security policy did not translate into a good working relationship.
And truth be told, the person most responsible for their inability to work together was Bolton, not Trump. …..
http://carolineglick.com/john-boltons-temper-tantrum/
Trump is more determined to do what he perceives to be the right thing, than what people realize.
Takes a new broom, to sweep things clean, and to be vigorous. 🙂
In all honesty, I could’ve done a better job with no other qualifications than a bit of common sense.
“… of 55 people in 14-days of managed isolation who were allowed to leave early on compassionate grounds since June 9 when routine testing at day three and 12 was supposed to have started.
Yesterday’s new testing moves come as Clark and director-general of health Dr Ashley Bloomfield faced more questions about why, after a week, they still could not say how many of the 55 had been released early without having had a test.
National leader Todd Muller described it as a “national disgrace”.
The answer finally came through last night – 51 of the 55 had left early without a test, the Ministry of Health said.
But of the four that had had a test, two were tested on the day of departure so they must have been released by staff without knowing they were negative“.
Pretty much sums it up:
Kate Hawkesby: Why is the Minister of Housing in charge of our Covid 19 response?
It goes to show how much must be involved in these positions if Megan Woods can do just about all of them at once on her own.
Sack Stupid Boy Clark, Obviously doing fuck all other than playing Pacman on the computor we provided for him!
Have you been down to your local school for your free modem yet Sooty? 👍
No, grand daughter has just started after the lockdown.
She’s the only one in family at school.
Charlottesville, “completely ignored by the mainstream media!”
A reporter asked Police Chief Smith if people were “afraid” of the police who came in to help secure the scene, Chief Smith snapped back,
“I would say that if someone was in fear because of the officer trying to take control of the scene, they should ask the people who were laying there bleeding, how much in fear they were.”

The police chief was not going to kowtow to the “woke” reporter, so then the media do not report the news.

Tucker: Why mobs are tearing down America’s monuments
These aren’t protests. This is a totalitarian political movement and someone needs to save us from it.
Teddy Roosevelt invited his black friend Booker T. Washington to eat at the Whitehouse. The democrats were appalled.
Saggy, that bobble heading is what I commented about yesterday ,its totally weird and unnatural, a body language specialist would have a ball with it.
Its getting bad when the minister of health doesn’t even turn up for QT and has Alfies wife answer questions for him, will he be there today or has he acquired covid 19 just in time ?
But Glorious Leader has absolute confidence in him…
…..to fuck everything up, maybe.
Yep, he’s been sidelined!
Just watch, he will retire in the near future, before the labour list comes out.
Stupid Boy Clark is gone burger! You could not even demote him and send him up to the gods in backbenchers! No one trusts him anymore!
For anyone who missed the question in parliament yesterday showing Cindy getting snarky when asked “how the country can take her seriously”? And then she goes on to lay down lies about her party being stringent on border security. 🤥🤥🤥
Muller asking Cindy why she isn’t doing her job. Trev and Winston jump to her defence. She doesn’t like being questioned.
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/todd-muller-questions-pm-whether-country-can-take-her-seriously-after-recent-covid-19-testing-bungles-v1?auto=6166516365001
“Does she really believe the country can take her seriously when she says at the core of her view is a strident border when the Prime Minister announces on the 8th of June there is mandatory testing but has to wait till yesterday to formally confirm it for the country?” Mr Muller asked.
Pressure is getting to the communist skeleton, she doesn’t like it when her failures and lying start to get exposed. As for that bell end Trev Mallard, could someone please tell him he is irrelevant?
But he’s not irrelevant Artimus. He’s failing in his duty to be impartial, and preventing the opposition from effectively holding the govt to account.
He is, however, a bell end.
I get what you are saying Saggy. He will never be impartial though. Still a Labour party member. He’ll stick up for the other miscreants in the party.
The lockdown rattled into being after the levels were zapped through virtually over a weekend in March. Here I was assuming then that a responsible government would have promptly got the quarantine sorted as the problem was arriving by air and by sea.
To now find that quarantine was, and continues to be, such a shambles has wasted the lockdown effort and the stratospheric debt levels this inept outfit has imposed on us. Some businesses have failed. Unemployment is surging.
The myth that Covid-19 was well handled by the government is well and truely exposed as a sham.
Love your last sentence Pete.
Repost from last night.
Sorry folks. But we are hoarding again.
We do not trust Stupid Boy Clark, his minions and labour!
Do you remember the pandemic of 2014 / 2015? No, nor do I and yet the excess deaths during the winter months were as bad as the deaths from Covid 19. The 2014/5 pandemic was also a flu, A(H3N2), and the death rates “were significantly higher in all the major European countries including the UK than in previous years most noticeably in the over 65s. These death rates were similar to what has been experienced, or told we have experienced in 2020 but without the media hysteria, without a lockdown and social distancing” AND without trashing our entire economy and borrowing vast amounts of money our children and grandchildren will be paying off for decades.
We have been lied to and misinformed at every step, the question is why? I think many will be able to figure out the answer to that without too much problem.

A little more digging reveals:
From https://lockdownsceptics.org/ “In Germany, for instance, the coronavirus epidemic, which Angela Merkel described as the worst crisis to afflict the country since the Second World War, has killed less than a third of the people killed by seasonal flu in 2017-18.”
Just received this e mail from a friend:
We all understand that the china virus (Covid19) is airborne, except for the watermelons who appear to think that it is a mutated form of anthropogenic carbon dioxide. Perhaps this is why our Comrade Jacinda engaged the Air Force to manage it. Sadly Red Helen got rid of all our fighter aircraft which would have been of much more value in this crisis than our current Minister of Health.
Is there any wonder why Jacinda Ardern is way behind the eight ball when she seems more happy to take advice from Siouxsie-Wiles
than people with more knowledge and better Qualifications .

Larry Elder, black US radio host interviewed on the Eric Metaxas Radio Show about his documentary “Uncle Tom”
29 mins
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPXotr1r-cc
Larry Elder has wonderful insights into the insanity that’s gripped America (and spread across the globe) and points to interviews found in his new powerful and uplifting documentary, “Uncle Tom.”
In response to the statement “black lives matter” if you apply reasoned logic, you can deduce that “all lives matter” or “white lives matter.”
However, the Left is anti-logical and anti-reason. They have unilaterally decreed that the statements “all lives matter” or “white lives matter” are those of white supremacists, and that anyone who utters these verboten statements shall be put to death.
If you are hushed by the Left’s decrees of what or what not you can say then you have abandoned reason and have capitulated to the baying crowd.
Black Lives Matter co-founder tweets about killing “men and white folks”
https://toronto.citynews.ca/2016/04/05/black-lives-matter-co-founder-tweets-about-killing-men-and-white-folks/
Revolting creature. Fuck off.
I am surprised that the BLM co-founder is that foolish as to publish such a tweet. Not a master strategist.
This is one of the reasons I hate “hate speech.” I want to know what is on peoples’ minds–even if the thoughts are murderous.
So the NASCAR noose is found to be a garage door opening rope that had been there at least since October last year:
“The FBI learned that garage number 4, where the noose was found, was assigned to Bubba Wallace last week. The investigation also revealed evidence, including authentic video confirmed by NASCAR, that the noose found in garage number 4 was in that garage as early as October 2019,” the bureau said. “Although the noose is now known to have been in garage number 4 in 2019, nobody could have known Mr. Wallace would be assigned to garage number 4 last week.”
The Ukraine investigation into Joe Bidet and his Burisma dealings has ratcheted up.
Maybe poor Sleepy is feigning dottery, to avoid prosecution.
The financial bribery no’s are skyrocketing.

Guaranteed minimum income needed to cure loneliness epidemic after COVID-19 – Helen Clark Foundation
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2020/06/universal-basic-income-needed-to-cure-loneliness-epidemic-after-covid-19-helen-clark-foundation.html
“Loneliness is clearly linked to income and employment status. Given the mass loss of both income and employment caused by COVID-19, ensuring people have stable, sufficient income and employment opportunities will be critical to buffer against the effects of not only economic recession, but also high levels of loneliness, isolation, and psychological distress.”
Critics say a UBI would result in fewer people bothering to get jobs. There’s been limited real-world research into whether this is the case, but the evidence so far suggests it doesn’t – in fact, a Finnish study found unemployed people who received a regular payment, regardless of whether they worked or not, ended up working more than those stuck on traditional unemployment benefits.
“We recommend that the government implement an effective guaranteed minimum income for all New Zealanders to enable everyone to live with dignity,” Walker’s report says.
Helen has finally lost it. We’re going to pay everyone an income so they don’t get lonely? How about they go outside and chat to people? I’m not sure how more money helps. They can’t go to Club Med.
Yer, they are going to by some sort of product and fly the world without leaving home!
So, Helen hasn’t got any friends. Why is that our problem? As with every socialist problem the answer is it will cost a truck load of money to achieve bugger all.
Her husband lives in a caravan on the back section.
After the referendum? lol Reeferendum? Or has that already been posited?

Winston Peters’ harsh words for returnees refusing COVID-19 managed isolation: ‘They can go off to prison’
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/06/winston-peters-harsh-words-for-returnees-refusing-covid-19-managed-isolation-they-can-go-off-to-prison.html
Peters also said he supports the prospect of making returnees pay for managed isolation rather than the Government footing the bill, because Kiwis overseas have had plenty of time to come home.
“Here we are 23 June and they are starting to turn up at home and my real point is, why didn’t you come much sooner?”
Peters knows very well that borders were closed around the world. Thailands main airport in Bangkok no flights in or out. How does he expect people to get home? Not everyone can walk on water like winston.
Peters. The sack of shit is electioneering, that’s all. The sooner he is gone the better.
Why can’t we have lots of critical thinkers and expressive young people like this young lady in NZ?

Transport Minister Phil Twyford announced the Auckland light Rail Process has “ended” this morning after their Partners could not agree on it.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12342556
In charge of another of the Coalition’s major policy and just the same as others Twyford has fucked again.
Phil finally delivers a good result. Now he’s freed up, can they please assign him to Ihumatao negotiations, before it’s too late.
But he loved giving that news conference, telling the truth.
It was always a shit project when they could have used buses, which have the option to reroute if need be.
OMG , the maggot Peters has been untraceable for 2 3/4 years and now true to form you cant turn on any device without hearing the C–T lying through his teeth again.
Surely his bluster and bullshit followed up with lies isn’t going to work again ? if it does it’ll mean he’s been sucking the moronic people (including myself when he first formed his party) in for forty F—King years.
There must be NZrs with less intelligence than the average jellyfish FFS.
If someone could cut the strap that must be containing the filthy greens rage and anger the resulting explosion would destroy Wellington ,LOL.
They’ve got to keep him off the truth serum until the election.
The CoL are clearing the decks of their fuck-ups prior to the election. Not quite sure why; we’re hardly likely to forget in the interim.
– No miners will be coming out of Pike River
– Light Rail in Auckland is off the table
– Fees Free scheme has had the metrics changed so that it’ll be judged on how much money it can give away
– Sounds like some dodgy deal has been done on Ihumatao (but denied so far)
Saggy “no miners will be coming out of pike river”.
Yeah, but if the filthy greens get their way there’ll be plenty of minors going into rehab.
You have to wonder what public servants do all day, other than the crossword and eat lunch?
It’s not rocket science folks! You are going to have sort of Disaster sometime, sure as shit!
You just don’t know which is coming next!
After all if you go into lockdown, you have to come out the other end. As an example.
All departments should have had written down instructions for a multitude of Disasters, all ready to go. From earthquakes, floods, nuclear war and any other thing you could
thing off!
Then prepare for it, alot of the stuff would be used in any disaster.
Then count and list what you have and check it occasionally!
It’s not rocket science, just common sense. Don’t they teach that at uni now days!
But no it’s as though they are thinking up this shit on the hoof!
Then if you get Stupid Boy Clark as a minister, just print it out and it’s a starting point!
Sooty, you are thinking like a rationale human being. Common sense is non-existent.
More useless information.
NZ latest acquisition HMNZS Aotaroa is feted as NZ largest ever navy ship.
Sadly not true. HMNZS New Zealand (WW1)has that record.
NZ paid for it and gave it to Britain.
New Zealand would always be larger than Aotaroa anyway.
Why can’t the Navy have a balls to the wall destroyer or two, with all the necessary armaments? How is a supply ship supposed to protect NZ’s coastline?
It’s not! It’s some where for the pollies to run to if we are going to linch them!
It’s designed as a safe refuge for pollies if we try to lynch them!
David Seymour declares New Zealand’s borders ‘world’s dumbest’ after COVID-19 testing botch-up
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/06/david-seymour-declares-new-zealand-s-borders-world-s-dumbest-after-covid-19-testing-botch-up.html
Thanks Rev Stupid Boy!
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/06/david-seymour-declares-new-zealand-s-borders-world-s-dumbest-after-covid-19-testing-botch-up.html
“New Zealand officially has the world’s dumbest borders,” Seymour, MP for Epsom, said. “The cost is not just the risk of COVID-19. We are so far from smart borders that anyone who needs openness just took a massive setback.”
Seymour said Health Minister David Clark should have been asking “the basic questions”.
“Had the Health Minister been physically and mentally present, all he had to do was to ask Ashley Bloomfield ‘these people who are released early, you’re testing them, right?'”
A record 9174 tests were done on Tuesday.
But Seymour believes testing should be more readily available after a constituent reported waiting for four hours to get tested at the St Lukes Community Based Assessment Centre in Auckland.
“People already face poor incentives to be tested. Some people can’t afford to be taken out of action for two weeks by a positive test,” Seymour said.
“Making them wait four hours makes it worse. How many people in the queue that day simply turned around after a few hours and went home, potentially spreading the virus?”
If you ain’t got any symptoms why would you bother.
Paranoia much.
Lunchtime sillyness.
Eastern cuisine, especially Japanese cooking, has a wider range of texture than Western food.
One particular texture I have not encountered in New Zealand food is that of “slime.” Most Westerners will throw up their knives and forks in horror when faced with a slimey food (and then throw up).
Here’s one of my favorites: natto (fermented soy beans). This is not for soy boys…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktXTlG9_zdQ
Footnote: Japanese eggs are safe to eat raw (don’t try this in NZ) and cost about $NZ3.60 at the local supermarket (one dozen basic (non-free-range) eggs would be of inferior quality and cost about $NZ5.90 here in Auckland).
Businessman took wage subsidy despite believing company would survive without – won’t pay it back

Damien Grant runs Waterstone Insolvency, which specialises in winding up companies, and he is also an occasional columnist.
Speaking this morning to TVNZ1’s Breakfast, Mr Grant said he is a strong critic of the Government giving out the subsidy to struggling businesses – but also said he took the subsidy for his own company.
Waterstone Insolvency claimed $63,266.40 from the wage subsidy scheme for nine employees.
“The Government’s passed a law and it says if you meet these criteria you’re entitled to the money – I met the criteria, I’m entitled to the money and I’m going to keep it.”
Another fine example of rushed law being bad law leading to unintended consequences.
What a tosser. He’d fit right in to this current dog turd of a government.
The maggot Peters hates Ardern ,when is this Clusterf–ck going to implode ?
Well he hasn’t looked like he has held his nose for the past two and a bit years.
Will be funny to watch if he pulls the rug on the Ihumatao handover festivities. That could do it.

So she sent Phail Phill to be the bearer of bad news! Bet he did not look forward to that. That’s two major labour election promises from the last election, that has your name on it and they promoted you.
Wonders never cease, who’s the biggest failure in labour, Phail Phill or Stupid Boy Clark? But not forgetting the mad queen!
Here we have a demand that Indian and Japanese people be “held accountable” by white people because a few white people don’t agree with their preferences. To fight racism !!! 🤣
“Within Indian and Japanese cultures, skin whitening and bleaching is encouraged. Sharma-Barrow said the idea that having darker skin was viewed as less attractive was wrong, and people within those cultures needed to change their mindset and be “held accountable”.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/419738/beauty-industry-racism-criticisms-prompt-changes
I wake up from my afternoon nap, Kea and this is what you have prepared for me. (Arigato-gozaimasu…)
This deserves a comment. Ludo Consulting owner, Melanie Sharma-Barrow (aka Karen Sharma-Barrow, with the double-barrelled surname and patronizing attitude to go with it) is clueless.
“Within Indian and Japanese cultures, skin whitening and bleaching is encouraged. Sharma-Barrow said the idea that having darker skin was viewed as less attractive was wrong, and people within those cultures needed to change their mindset and be “held accountable”. Many cultures within Asia are still pandering to the “white-blonde stereo-type,” which has been projected by the fashion and beauty industry for decades,” she said.
This is true, but not for the reason that this Karen suggests. In Japan (as in India and China and South Korea), a darker skin is seen as less attractive. Can anyone guess why? Hint: the reason is logical and pragmatic and is based on perceived social status.
‘Workers’ doing manual labour in the sun, hence peasant status? No-one wants to be a peasant?
Bingo! How is it that you can see this that Sharma-Barrow can not?
The same reason why the fishermen (working poor) have houses by the sea, but the wealthy in Japan have traditionally had their summer holiday houses in the highlands of central Japan (such as Karuizawa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAlg-y6DomY)
– Fishermen are at the mercy of tsunami
– The higher altitudes are cooler in the opressive Japanese summers
I had a young Taiwanese friend who enjoyed the NZ outdoors and sunshine. She told me her father took her to the doctor in Taiwan because he was worried about her being “too dark”. She was rather more pragmatic about her deeper colour preferring to enjoy herself rather than cover up for status.
Having adaptive melanine is useful. I am glad that I am not a “ginger.”

Mongols MC raids: Seventeen gang members face more than 260 charges as three more arrested
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2020/06/mongols-mc-raids-seventeen-gang-members-face-more-than-260-charges-as-three-more-arrested.html
Three more Mongols MC gang members have been arrested after another bout of police search warrants.
“Eighteen search warrants have now been conducted over the past two days as part of the final phase of Operation Silk,” Det Supt Greg Williams said.
“A further three loaded AK47 and two military-style semi-automatic firearms were located [on Wednesday].
“This brings the total number of firearms seized over the past two days to 13.”
Police said at least six recent shootings in the area have been linked to the motorcycle gang.
Entrepreneurs. They aren’t bowing down to Ardern and no one has to buy their product.

If the public couldn’t work out this was bullshit just from a different person today they are as thick pig shit . It was first Jacinda Ardern who fronted the lies a week ago and then left it for the the Health Director to bullshit and cover it for the rest until it was published they couldn’t come with figures of how many were let go without testing and obviously the heat got to hot for Ashley Bloomfield that he had one assistant’s front today with more lies to con those that are not happy.

This has a long way to run and the more that told could really come back to bite Jacinda and Ashley on the arse.
Bringing in cubby chops will not make it go away!
It was only designed to put some distance between it and the comrade! Megan casts a large shodow for her to hide in!

“Eclipses” would be the ward I’d use Sooty. 🙂
What was that huge blimp they float in New York City during parades – ? Frosty.
Remind you of anyone.
DairyNZ can’t fill 1000 farming jobs and an employment agency has seven labouring jobs available, no experience required. Why can’t they fill these jobs and yet the bene applications are through the roof? The green COL encouraging protesters to bag the dairy industry for years won’t have helped even though the pay rate isn’t too bad these days and certainly much better than the amount you get on the dole.
Must be their ideology that drives the Greens as I would have thought prisoners would be mostly be Labour voters?
Green Party wants all prisoners to have the vote, not just those serving less than three years
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/green-party-wants-all-prisoners-have-vote-not-just-those-serving-less-than-three-years
The proposed law change, named the Electoral (Registration of Sentenced Prisoners) Amendment Bill, will allow prisoners with sentences of less than three years to vote in the general election.
However, she added it “still means that a large number of people we hold in our prisons don’t have the basic human right of casting a vote during election, which our Supreme Court agrees is a serious breach”.
“Prisoners are already carrying out their punishment by being in prison, she said. “Denying them basic human rights to access democracy only serves to further ostracise them from their community.”
Golly G. Again. Please just fuck off back to whatever dump you crawled out from. PLEASE!
Well of course it is not a basic human right. It is a right conferred by the community to members of said community to enable the election of officers. That same community says that if you piss us off by offending aginst the rules we make then you lose that community right.
Its a cumminty right. Thought that a fucking dumb Green tart would figure that out.
But no to dumb to even do that.
Perhaps she doesn’t understand English comprehension.
Jacinda Ardern has denied the claim there is Covid-19 community transmission due to people leaving managed isolation without being tested, when pressed by Todd Muller in Parliament this afternoon.

Will she resign when it becomes public? Is she busy thinking up her excuses already?
But Siouxie isn’t an Epidemiologist either.

What happens to the Auckland fuel tax now that lightrail is canned?
Payed back?
Canceled tomorrow?
Used for something else?
Shit! That’s a tough one Sooty. Can I Phone-a-Friend? 🙂
Yep. It will pay for more pies for Megan.
Any updates on the Labour sex camp offender being identified.
There was an appeal result due about now….
Hell will freeze first.
All the wonderful intentions behind the grandiose scheme will be transported vertically and returned to the pie in the sky.
As Arty inferred, guess who’s delivering them.
Gnom, gnom, gnom…burp, fart, whistle!
Aspirational only, such a low bar.
Cindy, where is all the money coming from to fund your extravagant dreams that flounder?
Not doing very well are you! Your election pledges from last time are falling over, left, right, and centre.
How are you going to stand on your election soapbox in the coming months and say, Well we did this and that and this. Well maybe not, didn’t work as planned did it? Never mind I have the best people in NZ, backing ne up. I’ve got Robba, Phail Phill, Gallopaway, Stupid Boy and the duck running interference. Shit we have the A team, here mate!
Wow. Two new COVID-19 cases in NZ today brings the total to 12.
“Train” meet “wreck” meet “slow-motion.” (I am laying in a new stock of popcorn and am getting ready to fire up my Brevel popcorn maker. Dis gonna be gud!)
That’s two a day O-sen.
Noah does exist.
Is the coming bad weather really that bad?
2 by 2 by 2 by 2 etc…

Japan Just Knocked The U.S. Off The Top Of A Ranking Of The World’s Most Powerful Supercomputers
A widely followed ranking of the world’s most powerful supercomputers has put a Japanese machine called Fugaku at number one, ousting Summit, a U.S. supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
According to the Top500 list, Fugaku, which is made by Fujitsu and housed at the RIKEN Center for Computational Science in Kobe, is now faster than Summit when measured against a benchmark that assesses how quickly supercomputers can perform calculations central to large-scale computing applications. Summit has held the top slot since mid-2018, when it displaced a Chinese supercomputer called Sunway TaihuLight.

Bloody COL refusing to take responsibility again. Stupid boy Clark strikes again.
Health Minister David Clark brutally throws Dr Ashley Bloomfield under the bus while standing right next to him
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/06/health-minister-david-clark-brutally-throws-dr-ashley-bloomfield-under-the-bus-while-standing-right-next-to-him.html
Newshub’s footage captured Dr Bloomfield’s face after Dr Clark told reporters, “The Director-General has accepted that the protocol wasn’t being followed. He has accepted responsibility for that.”
Newshub asked the Health Minister why he won’t take some of the responsibility.
“The Director-General has already acknowledged that the system didn’t deliver here.”
Gutless, useless wanker. He should be sacked. Cindy won’t do it though.
Clark … you are a dirty gutless bastard. I could see Bloomfield vomiting into his mouth !!!
What a complete and utter prick. This will bite Clark on the arse hopefully. I thought he was just lazy and useless. He’s foul.
He’s all of them Saggy.
He cocked up royally from the start and is being exposed for the incompetent fool he is.
I’m sure you’ve all got the wrong man.
Dr David Clark was ordained in 1997 & is a Presbyterian minister. They don’t act like that.
Do they?
What’s the Stupid Boy guna do for a job when he’s sacked?
Won’t get a job as a minister will he. Untrustworthy!
Get a job at the UN as an “international health expert”. It could happen!
What a CUNT. Like the rest of them. Cowardly, lying, CUNTS.
Bullshit!
He’s a man of God.
Stupid boy Clark is just following the example set by dear leader “I cannot tell a lie” Ardern 🤥🤥🤥
“Handbrake” Peters strikes the COL agreement again.
New Zealand First has put the brakes on proposed changes to commercial leases, forcing Labour to turn to National for support.
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/nz-first-puts-move-help-covid-19-affected-businesses-their-rent-hold
The bill aimed to help businesses struggling after the Covid-19 pandemic was due to be debated in Parliament today.
“Why use the word blocking?” NZ First leader Winston Peters said today when asked if his party stopped the proposed changes. “We’re still working on it, that’s why we’re here, to make sure we have policies that are sound and do work.
“We’re not blocking anything, we’re just making sure the policy is a sound, commercial proposition in fairness to the contractual laws in New Zealand.”
It comes after initial disagreements saw negotiations stretch out across months, while business owners pleaded with the Government for assistance with rent. It also comes as Auckland’s light rail development has been halted today.
“It’s not just on the light rail project, it’s a Government that is tearing itself apart,” National leader Todd Muller said. “Any substantive policy piece gets announced, yet by the time it gets through to the House they’re at war with each other and can’t sing off the same song sheet.”
O.k Todd, now you’re weened off the soy.
Grow one more nut….and go for the jugular.
A growing expensive problem for the poor old taxpayer!
Number of imprisoned gang members exploding in New Zealand
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2020/06/number-of-imprisoned-gang-members-exploding-in-new-zealand.html
About 38 percent of inmates are gang members or affiliates – more than 3500 people. But over the past few years, some gang numbers have dramatically risen. The Mongrel Mob, Tribesmen and Bloods are all up by at least 60 percent, while Head Hunters is up 150 percent and the Killer Beez has increased 126 percent.
“We’re seeing more violence. We’re seeing more violence perpetrated by gangs, particularly in these younger gangs that are coming through,” he told Newshub.
On the outside, gang numbers are ballooning too, nearly doubling in five years. The National Gang List now covers 27 groups.
Gunna have to build more prisons. Use one for this gang, another for that gang, etc.
Can’t mix them up can you!
I heard the the results of Colmar-Brunton poll will be on TV1 tomorrow night.
What are your thoughts Chuck?
I see an increase in the peoples awareness of the shenanigans by our political miscreants shifting the scales favorably.
I don’t think they will have changed much, somewhat due to the method of poll taking.
I have to be hopeful after the train wreck of a year so far.
Hope is all there is left, or should it be, I hope it will be alright?
You know your Iphone is pissed when…..
