Of course there is a list of people Key walked over.
Brash, Clarkson, Ryall, Power, Airnz, and the best CEO that any NZ bank has ever had , the CEO of ANZ.
Like politics he quit Airnz when he saw that the going was about to get tough. When will he quit ANZ and whatr will he do to their hard work?
Sooner he buggers off on his world domination with his German mate the better.
Its interesting to see the difference with Muller.
Tall person as with Trump.
No short man syndrome to be bothered with. It really is a thing.
Look at all the problematic pollies around. All short people.
Cindy, Mallard, Muldoon, Lange, Bolger, et al. ( applies to local pollies as well.)
An interesting trait and most would start the conversation with “I Think”.
Never “we think.”
Words matter.
Perhaps taller people have a greater world view.
Someone who I left of the list above was Fonterra. Remember the the way Key stuck his nose into that. Nasty little man. Not even his business in the first place.
You missed Peters – he is not known as `The Drunken Dwarf’ because he is tall.
True.
But here is the intersting thing. His Deputy is and has the mana that tall men bring.
NZ First MP Shane Jones said the fast-tracked RMA bill presented an “opportunity to get it done”.
“It’s nauseating that after seven years the RMA process has failed to deliver on water security for Auckland. At its deepest level this is not about Māori rights, this is about the importance of access to water for a third of New Zealand’s population, which is a human right.
“It may come to pass that in the short term we’ll receive rains akin to what floated Noah’s Ark, but the answer to Auckland’s water security lies neither in the Old Testament or in the Treaty of Waitangi.
“We simply cannot tolerate a situation where the businesses, the hospitals, the households, the marae of Auckland are denied secure access to water because of either a bureaucratic bunion or iwi standover politics.”
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/300043704/fight-over-aucklands-access-to-waikato-river-water-moves-to-parliament?cid=facebook.post&fbclid=IwAR2H3Smtj8Nlaeb4gQI5I4hmL7PN-ijdbDCWzX9S6UXH-ZNmSJcZ_IR0iWE
Now I know its not popular on here to mention Joines but he is actually getting stuff done where it matters. Peters is probably a gone burger but Jones doesn’t suffer short man syndrome and I could think he will will work well with Muller.
……”he will will work well with Muller”……
I doubt that he’ll get the chance. NZ First are heading down the toilet & Matt King has a death grip on the Northland seat which could save them.
But generally I agree. Shane Jones has charisma & mana which is in short supply amongst the weirdos & misfits who currently blight the seats of Parliament.
Given the choice between King and Wristy, the northland voters will opt for king.
Northland wouldn’t be an easy general seat for any Maori to win. There are nine Iwi & I doubt that any two of them could agree on the likely direction of the rising of the sun.
The weird thing about the Northland seat is that Hone Carter held it forever and now King but the Nats did sweet fuck all for northland.
Why are they so popular?
I guess the Maori vote takes a few or they simply don’t vote.
Not sure where todd has placed the whangarei guy on the list but suspect that its well up. He may not work hard for his seat if hew is a list MP and that would give Jones a look in.
Interesting timing by Judith Collins. I realise it was on the way before Muller took over, but launching it before the election seems a bit strange. In the end timing is about selling books, I suppose, but that would have been achieved by launching before Xmas, as well.
But from the bit that has been released as part of the promo (in the link) suggests it will be a good read.
Wot is that large, hot yellow ball in the sky~!

That is a great movie. Doncha just love Clint?
No locals to work. Too easy on the couch. What will it do as an incentive for the locals to work when the COL introduce their much vaunted UBI?
Northland tourism industry calls for more workers
Northland has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, yet the region’s tourism industry is concerned they won’t have enough workers for its peak season.
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/northland-tourism-industry-calls-more-workers-v1?auto=6167646091001
“I’m advertising for staff now and finding it quite hard to find people,” Bridgett Haagh, co-owner of the hotel, says.
Quiet morning. Our fellow commenters must have taken their immortal souls along to early mass. 🙂
I thought they were all on the moderated blog being good Gnats
There’s been a bit of a go-slow over there this weekend…
Maybe it’s an angry ram that is holding everyone up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LWQRX-zuL8
Getting work done is never easy with Angry Rams on duty
It might be overload. The insanity unfurling around us is saturating.
Ardern’s second term will make this look like the good ole days. Pace yourself.
No Nasska I had taken the dogs for a walk at the Resthills dog park, that’s my church, don’t need to attend anywhere else. And to be honest I am so busy chatting with all the other dog owners about our dogs, I don’t even have the time to think of the mess this country is in, or any sky fairy. Its good for the health and well being and for the dogs as well.
I wonder whether the NZ Public would have thought Grant Robertson was as astute at the Finance Minster if they realized he thought he new better than those in Treasury when he introduced this loan scheme to help Big business over CORID-19.
Or was this just another scheme to gather votes and risk the guarentee of taxpayers money.

Didn’t he change fiscal rules to allow more government borrowing? Its almost like he knew….
Sorry,I’m arguing on FB.
Selling your soul to China?
An Aus Labour politician is being investigated after fears of Chinese infiltration into his office.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=234Ufpt9Zhs
Labor MP raided as part of major counter-espionage investigation
A major investigation has been launched into allegations Chinese government agents have infiltrated the political office of a NSW Labor MP.
The Australian Federal Police this morning raided the Sydney home of NSW Labor MP Shaoquett Moselmane, including a number of his vehicles, and is now attempting to raid his parliamentary office.
Mr Moselmane has found himself in hot water over a series of controversial comments relating to China, including praising the regime’s handling of the coronavirus crisis.
At least 3 of NZ’s universities are tied in with the “Confucius Institutes” and as wg says, “sold their souls”.
~ U.S. senators passed a new bill to focus on concerns with Confucius Institutes blocking speech critical of China on U.S. college campuses.
~ The act was passed by unanimous consent.
“But, the problem is that they [Confucius Institutes] report, Han Ban reports to the Politburo.
It is a Communist party-run institute and what they try to do is export the censorship that the Communist party imposes on the Chinese people, they are trying to export it to the United States,” Gonzalez explained.
“So, there is something obviously very wrong with that and we don’t know what is inside these little secret contracts.
But, it is clear from everything here is that any mention of the three T’s; Tibet, Taiwan, or Tiananmen is not allowed to happen.”
“All of these institutes, the Chinese Communist Party behaving in a repressive manner and they have all the money in the world, then giving these colleges a lot of money in exchange for what appears to be censorship,” he added.
https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=15107
The US can see & recognize the control that the CCP is trying to do.
When will the the NZ government also recognize these problems and make people more aware of these problems.
The CCP has the finest Australian politicians money can buy? No?
WASHINGTON – A college degree will no longer give Americans a leg up when seeking some jobs with the federal government.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Friday that will overhaul the government’s hiring practices so that a job applicant’s skills will be given priority over a college degree.
Administration officials say the shift will allow the government to hire a more inclusive workforce based on skill instead of a person’s education level.
“This will ensure that we’re able to hire based on talent and expand our universe to qualified candidates and ensure a more equitable hiring process,” Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and senior advisor, told reporters on Friday.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2020/06/26/trump-executive-order-stresses-skill-over-college-degree-hiring/3263074001/?fbclid=IwAR0FvSrRfrnPBlmCIaznq40vu8s1HeV97eul7p43SsAM4lP4gMdFR1NZyzI
The shift in hiring protocols will recognize the value of learning regardless of whether it occurs on the job or in the classroom, said Brooke Rollins, acting director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, which oversees the president’s domestic agend
When can we do this here?
the pubic Service is full of woke uni grads. ( as is the labour Party).
Chuck them out if they are not competant.
Not just the Public Service either. Everywhere you look education has displaced natural flair & ability.
Outside of the hard sciences university degrees benefit the university more than the recipient.
But Helen Clark decreed in the 1990’s “NZ needed a higher wage economy and everyone needs to go to university.” She named this “The Knowledge Wave”. It was the beginning of universities bulging with low to average IQ students who previously would never have been accepted to these once revered institutions of higher education. Many of these kids have gone onto have large student debt around their necks while only managing to find average paying jobs that don’t require a university degree in the first place.
I thought at the time Clarkula was dismissive of a large proportion of the population who have practical skills and don’t require “higher learning” to achieve in life like the plumbers, sparkies and other trades who have gone on to run their own companies. The clever inventors who have struck it rich, the small business owners, etc, etc, etc, and the workers who have stuck it out and are now financially set up and enjoying their lives and families.
Get a degree in sports management at Otago woke-centre and end up securing harnesses at the Queenstown Hackett Bungy jump operation.
Result.
-Lots of partying and alcohol
-High rent near Queenstown
-Saving at end of week – zero or less and call the bank of mum and dad
-Little reduction of student loan
-no prospects
Wake up at 28 years of age and realise the last 10 years have been a waste.
Instead of ‘partying’ being a weekend hobby while you get on with life, it IS the life.
2 years until your thirties.
Ooops. Back to Uni to study -again- law or commerce or something that opens up a career.
This is an actual observation a friend’s on who woke up 2 years ago.
Now working and studying commerce part time.
The next five years at least will be hard yakka and maybe nearly thirty five when he qualifies.
Now, had he done commerce when 18 yo with few commitments and distractions he could have been on good coin by 25 and done some OE with a marketable qualification and enter the housing market
….repeated so many times by an over-liberal approach to kids born post 1988.
Adolescence ended by 14 y.o. 100 years ago.
50 years ago it ended about 16-18 yrs old
Now it can run to nearly 30 years of age.
So many of them out there with crapola in Art History, Gender studies and such bollocks.
It has been a job creation scheme for University lecturers like the old PEPS and STEPS under Muldoon. But the Uni wankers are too arrogant to admit it.
They have been ‘make work’ bunnies.
Too much time on their hands to cause trouble as well.
The Clayton Weatherson’s of the world.
The anti ‘trades’ drive has been very damaging.
Klarkenfuhrer was a real criminal in that department.
So we still import trades people to do the work – as if the Christchurch earthquake 10 years ago was not a lesson.
How did the economy shift in 50 years?
>Lower echelon – Shanes couzies on the couch. Well paid with their UBI/dole plus extra from selling drugs plus burglaries – which the cops will not even address.
>Next- for lower jobs filled 50 years ago by kiwis- import the labour
>Then : – over-educate fools with uni degrees with a double major in Shite and Bollocks and 40% of the economy is central and local Govt employment so they get soaked up like spilt ink into a blotter and levered gently into warm desks -then bitch and moan they are better that this; when quite the opposite is the fact.
Then ask why NZ productivity is ghastly ??
Time- Pink Floyd. Someone quoted from it the other day. Very Apt.
What a beautiful sight
I’ve seen some beautiful sights in my travels:
– The Taj Mahal at dawn
– Sunsets in the tropics
– Thunderstorms in the Andes
But I think this might possibly be the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
I’m in my fourth straight run through of this and I still haven’t had enough yet.
To paraphrase Robert Duvall’s line in “Apocalypse Now”:
“I love the smell of tear gas in the morning.”
Why are cops risking their lives this way? A fuel air bomb should be deployed before sending in attack helicopters to mop up survivors.
These are terrorists on US soil. The Taliban have never attacked anyone outside of their tribal regions and are simply fighting foreign invaders. Yet look how the are treated.
BLM is an organised terror group destroying America for regime change. Bring the troops home and deal with it.
Pretty to watch. An elixir for the soul.
Obviously there is faults by all involved in Transmission Gully motorway but it wouldn’t help having Phil Twyford and Julie Anne Genter being in charge as everything they seem to to touch turns to crap in know time.
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2020/06/transmission-gully-delays-taking-their-toll-on-locals.html
Will this be the same as Health Housing and other Transport issues and end up with Jacinda, Twyford and Clark pushing the blame on National.
Rumour has it that the consortium got a lot of money and for their fuck-ups…. they got the contract to do the next bit of work up the line from Transmission Gully too!
But that’s what we’d expect from the CoL – pay-offs and no tender work awarded to crap outfits. NZ (lol) supposedly one of the least corrupt countries in the world according to Transparency International
Give me strength!!
Warms the cockles of my heart to see that. The cops emerging from the cloud of smoke with their masks and cans of pepper spray.
Yipee ki yay MotherF!
Loved the comment: round the little darlings up and export them to North Korea! 😂
Kiwiblog is heading for an all time record. Three hours & not one moderator has taken his hand off his cock for long enough to log in. 🙂
Sometimes the rent boys hide the moderators computers until they get paid.
Often KB mods won’t pay and imperiously announce “I have connections in Wellington” before sending the violated rent boy on his way empty handed
So, this is the site where Fruity Farrar now charges people
..for what exactly?
I think Cameron Slater did that and it was his demise pretty much, oh that and his relationship with Wine stone. that also did not help. But why pay DF for a site that is at times useless with all the moderating. Love this site we can state our thoughts freely. Thank you Ed. Just listening to the new Bob Dylan album, he is still great. If you are a Dylan fan (I know, he is now a come to Jesus person) but loving the sound of his voice and the music.
For “Info” pieces by mikenmild
(tho’ nothing in his piece that couldn’t be gleaned from the OIA site, itself)
Jesus wept people, reading YSB you’d think Winston and the Chinese are our biggest threat.
You are basically acting as shills for the Ardern regime, as she guts our nation to it’s roots.
The immediate problem is not Muslims, Winston, or China.
John Key reckons we should build relations with China going forward. I agree. The anti Chinese narrative, in the NZ context, is driven by Labour.
Yeah – putting aside the “chinky-sounding names” routine with housing in 2016 – I think Labour are basically an arm of the CCP. When US intelligence services are saying Labour is funded by CCP and Cindy runs away from the podium rather than comment on Chinese human rights abuses – it’s hard not to see them as the real threat. Who is behind WuFlu – CCP! Who is behind the rioting in the US – CCP backing up Soros. Who is running most of the DNC leadership as foreign agents – CCP (DIanne Fienstein’s driver of 8 years was a CCP military officer (ie spy). Who is preparing for expansion all around their regional theatre – CCP. Who’s regional theatre is NZ in? That’s right CCP.
Key is bought and paid for. He is a whore who will spread his bum cheeks for whoever pays him. He ate pizza with Obama on a regular basis or played “golf” or what the fuck ever. Key was just a continuation of Helen Clark’s creeping communism. If you listen and believe him – then maybe you pointing the finger and directing blame the wrong way.
All the shit we’ve had this year, all of that – that’s China.
“Key is bought and paid for. He is a whore who will spread his bum cheeks for whoever pays him. He ate pizza with Obama ”
I won’t have you picking on my Jewish Banker mate like that. And you wait until Mikey gets here. He’s gonna goose step you all the way to Nuremberg.
I went to school with JK. They lived about 4km from our house in Christchurch. My sister was very good friends with his sister. Lovely people.
Key cones across as a good bugger. So much so it hides just how smart he is.
We all know how you like to throw shit in the hope some of it might stick. The Chinese are not our friends and never will be. They don’t buy anything from us for the good of you and me.
Their food supply is so corrupted by their citizens taking short cuts.
Remember the melamine in their infant formular? That resulted in the middle class just about revolting against the CCP. Now, they try to own, in other countries and here, the supply chain from the farm to the Chinese consumer. Oceania Dairy, Synlait, Westland Milk and Yashili are all owned by the Chinese.
Not quite Ed. A2 Milk, a New Zealand company own a portion of Synlait, from memory around 19.9%
Cindy is a commie through and through. People know this. She has gutted the country, but so has every government over the last 40 plus years. People think that there is a difference between National and Labour. There is none. They are owned and controlled by foreign interests. New Zealand doesn’t need to trade with China, they own this country. We are little more than one of their provinces.
Gee don’t hold back tell me what you really think guys 😂
Lol – taken like a man. Good on you Kea. And good also that you triggered debate and created energy. This is why I always look for your posts – I don’t always agree – but they get me thinking.
That’s the difference between us and the zealots on the left ~ we tolerate diversity of thought.
I love having my ideas unsympathetically picked over and tested.
Kea may be clever but you’re still not as cute as this national treasure! 😜 😂
He lives on a secret island, flies in private aircraft and has more than 230,000 fans online who follow his every move.

MGTOW bird
https://www.mgtow.com/
“MGTOW – Men Going Their Own Way …, living according to his own best interests in a world which would rather he didn’t.
In other words . . . common sense for men.”
Or those men who can’t find a woman who will put up with them!? 😉
Seriously, that sounds really lonely for them 💔
Not me. I’m comfortable seeing women as sex objects. 😄
Whatever floats your boat.
⛵️
Metu?
I can’t respect the MGTOW crowd. To me they seem to be running away from an essential component of life.
I sympathise with their world view, but I don’t agree with it.
I am in awe of all those cultures coming to the defence of white people.
Hugs and kindness.
I feel special.
Mmmmm.
White people are an ethnic minority in the world, after all. (One of many.)
We punch above our weight though.
Shock horror. The birdy bird agrees with a joooooooo. Arkk.
I agree with many Jews often. But I also call out the religious nut jobs. Exactly as I do with all other religions.
I also work with, fuck with, socialise with,. Jews.
Tobacco law changes will see stricter border rules from next week
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2020/06/tobacco-law-changes-will-see-stricter-border-rules-from-next-week.html
From Wednesday tobacco products, leaf and refuse will become prohibited imports, meaning people on the receiving end will need a free permit first or it will be seized and destroyed.
Customs hopes the change will allow it to act “quicker and more efficiently” on parcels containing cigarettes, because it will be able to see which are not going to legitimate retailers.
Northern Ports manager Mark O’Toole said it will also allow Customs to check manufacturers are licensed and paying excise tax on tobacco leaf, after the Government missed out on an estimated $10.8 million in the past year.
The biggest smokers are Maori. Therefore: rAceIsM !!¡¡!!!!!
It’s racist smoking all those white tubes of death. When will someone change them to black, or don’t BLM anymore?
Sobranie ?
For those who know
I’ve always been uncomfortable with the Scott Watson conviction so I’m pleased they’re going to have another look at it.
There were some very troubling aspects to the approach taken by the police. Especially the focus on his character to rile up public sentiment.
Detective Inspector Rob Pope took over the police investigation, and decided within two weeks that Picton resident Scott Watson was the unknown man, although Watson was clean shaven, had short hair, and owned a single-masted steel sloop, Blade.[7]
A few days after he arrived in Marlborough, with hundreds of witnesses still to interview, Pope stated: “We can be fairly certain that this (two-masted) ketch does not exist.” He said Watson “had the right sort of agenda and pedigree”, apparently referring to his criminal record. Watson had 48 criminal convictions at the time,[9][10] mainly from when he was a teenager, for burglary, theft, cannabis offences, two counts of possessing an offensive weapon, and one of assault when he was 16. He had been imprisoned for two short periods in 1989 and 1990, but had just one minor conviction in the eight years leading up to 1998.[11]
Just like Arthur Thomas, it was a set up by the cops to get the easiest conviction. By going after a petty criminal they thought they would succeed.
My understanding is that the police believed he was linked to other disappearances and crimes. So they wanted him bad.
The missing ketch was parked up in Ohope Harbour in February that year. No one was interested.
It was a very distinctive ketch, no doubt.
Only thing I didn’t do was take a photo of it, sadly.
Indeed, it was clear he wasn’t a nice person at all. But it always seemed like there was a stinky and pervasive smell of Ardern-level incompetence about the investigation that made one think the cops were focussed on convicting someone/anyone rather than convicting the murderer.
I’d like a justice system more robust than sentencing people to life imprisonment for being ‘not nice’.
Unfortunately I’m not sure we have that here.
I don’t think that he was that bad either. He was made out to be but IIRC his history was of minor stuff and nothing for 8 years.
A man puts a status up on Facebook:
My fiancée and I are getting married on the 26th July, before my partner set the date I had bought tickets to the final for the premier league and am now stuck with these tickets.
So I am asking for someone to take my place.
She’s 5’6” and has wonderful long blonde hair but for the sake of honesty I must warn you she has a temper. And she’ll be the one at the end of the aisle swearing the house down.
Good luck and let’s hope my team wins.
Act Party have just announced their list line up.
David Seymour

Nicole to win Rongotai, a safe Labour seat currently held by Labour’s Paul Eagle.
ACT ranks gun advocate Nicole McKee high on party list for 2020 election
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/06/act-ranks-gun-advocate-nicole-mckee-high-on-party-list-for-2020-election.html
ACT has given one of the country’s most prominent gun advocates a high ranking on its party list, released on Sunday.
Nicole McKee, head of the Council of Licenced Firearms Owners, will stand for the right-wing party in Rongotai, a safe Labour seat currently held by Labour’s Paul Eagle.
Oh, she’ll send a shiver down the spine of any Greens that get back in.
How many gun owners will she bring to ACT? There are 200,000+ out there who are totally pissed off at the Nats and Liabour,
Lots I hope.
Plenty were anyway, but great to see Nicole steeping up. She’s a wonderful ambassador for the shooting community.
Heard the Greens UBI announced on Radio news by Davidson. Weekly payment $330 funded from a wealth tax – 1% on a Million net worth, 2% on 2 million net worth. Given house prices/values can ease up your net worth over time I do not see the Greens UBI as attracting many votes.
They are a long way from being an environmental party.
I do not see any UBI attracting any thinking voters.
Yes but MMP may give them the power
MW – Name a greenie with a spine for a shiver to crawl down.
There would plenty of them who would look for an arse to crawl up.
ACT Party list unveiled ahead of 2020 elections

If Mr Seymour retained his Epsom electorate seat, the poll results mean the party would have four MPs if it got this level of support at the election on September 19.

1 – David Seymour
2 – Brooke Van Velden
3 – Nicole McKee
4 – Chris Baillie

Diversity of age, gender, ethnicity, experience ….
Amazing what happens when you choose on merit.
And look…
Nicole McKee is Communicator of the Year 2020.
https://blacklandpr.com/blog/nicole-mckee-named-nz-communicator-of-the-year/
Might provide some competition for the ‘Great Communicada”
The great yapper exercising her slapper feelz.
The “great yapper”. I presume you’re referring to Cindy. 👍
Is there another?
Good move. Will bring in the gun lobby votes.
That’s kings old seat. Certainly time for a change amd Eagle really doesn’t have a huge fan following after his efforts on caoulcil.
It will be interesting to see who National stand in the seat. It is time for a change in this seat, it’s my electorate.
Eagle is just a seat warmer, a token, much like special K. Diversity..its all about the feeeelz.
Eagle has been dropped way down Labour’s list…5 newbies have been placed well above him.
Heard David Seymour today on radio.
Ms McKee is much much more than any one trick pony.
She has a really impressive CV
Good luck
Hang on a minute, first of all, it was black lives matter, and now it’s evolved into eating the rich.
I don’t know about you guy’s but, I’m seeing a regressive pattern emerging here.
BLM Protesters Storm Beverly Hills Neighborhood: ‘Eat the Rich!’
“Videos and photographs of the mob flooded social media as they shouted various messages throughout the residential neighborhood and tore down American flags,” the Daily Wire reported.
Human Events Managing Editor Ian Miles Cheong shared footage of protesters shouting “Eat the rich!”:
https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2020/06/27/blm-protesters-storm-beverly-hills-neighborhood-eat-the-rich/
Good news. Take it to people who caused it ~ virtue signalling smug urban fake liberals.
I hope they go nuts and bring the looting arson rape and murder to woke suburbia.
I hope they tear down the woke hollywood icon “the Oscar”.
The ‘reset’ is gaining ravenous momentum now.
It’ll take serious fire power and resolve to halt it in it’s tracks.
Replace it with a cock and balls edifice.
Sorta like an Oscar with two golden globes?
I say tear the filthy degenerate place down and start again.
Growing number of Wuhu flu – 4 today
There are four new cases of Covid-19 in managed isolation facilities to report in New Zealand, with one person in a stable condition in hospital.

Maybe someone needs to retract their little dance?
The safety dance.
Aren’t you pleased Cindy went “hard and fast”? We are so fortunate to have such a kind, caring leader.
the more you look the more you will find.
Let’s face it folks Clark will keep his job as Ardern is too gutless / scared to move him.
Maybe he has information on her or the boyfriend that gives him immunity. Now that’s a thought.
It must be something big as the lack of a spine is causing her to publicly die the death of a thousand cuts.
Hope it’s worth it Cindy as you have given Todd a free ride to the treasury benches.
But just remember that he’s hanging around her neck and all she can smell is his stink!

People are having a whine on stuffed about flying on ANZ with too many pasengers!
It’s not rocket science people. Just buy up how many seats around you that you like to feel safe!
Yes it will be expensive. But why should ANZ have to wear the expense, so you feel safe.
Not their job. Their job is to get you from A to B! That’s it!
Don’t like that. Don’t fucking fly then!
The report is in. The recommendations made read like they had to spell it all out for a child. Basic shit that should’ve been a given from the start;

Just shows exactly how incompetent it has all been really. Sigh.
Fgs surely the time in the air can be utilised, what were the plans already in place? How bloody abysmal and how lucky we have been all along. Is Ashley actually competent? He looks great on paper but really!!!!!!!
Bloomfield can’t even decide whether masks in public should be worn or not. He’s been dithering over that alone for months. Seriously!! 🤨
He couldn’t decide whether to sit down or stand up to take a piss. Fucking four eyed wanker.
Just another leftie wanker not to know how many untested Chinese virus infected visitors were let out of quarantine. Sack the fucker to protect Clark and Cindy.
I see looking back thru the ODT returning Kiwis to New Zealand were still entering thru the E-Gate as late as February and into March! So the only manual check was when you handed over your arrival card to the customs officer. Hard and early? Fuck off.
Massive fail by Ardern.
It seems that to shore up the “kind” image while making her look decisive & in control she’s continued with the “captain’s calls”. Those at the pointy end of ensuring these brain farts are actioned probably read the paper & watch TV to get their instructions & find out what current policy is.
Then they get a ticket for a seat under the bus when it turns pear-shaped. It’s a wonder there’s anyone left prepared to work under her.
David Seymour, Paul Goldsmith condemn Green Party’s wealth tax plans
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/06/david-seymour-paul-goldsmith-condemn-green-party-s-wealth-tax-plans.html
David Seymour and Paul Goldsmith have come out swinging against the Green Party’s “transformational” proposal to tackle inequality and reform welfare.
The income taxes would kick in at 37 percent at $100,000 and 42 percent at $150,000. There would also be a 1 percent tax on net assets over $1 million and 2 percent over $2 million – excluding mortgaged houses and household goods worth less than $50,000.
But ACT Party leader Seymour warns this will send New Zealand in the wrong direction.
“At a time when we need to get New Zealanders back to work, the Greens want to suck the life out of the economy by taxing successful people harder and creating even more welfare dependency,” Seymour told Newshub.
And National’s Finance spokesperson Goldsmith says we need our small businesses to invest and create more jobs – not tax them more.
“Rather than celebrating Kiwis doing well, the Greens seem to want to punish them,” he says in a statement.
The Green Party are nothing more than capitalist hating, sandal wearing communists, Just look at the line up of fuckwits there. Have any of them actually done an honest days work in their miserable lives?
Will the Greens enjoy paying wealth tax on their own million dollar houses? Be worth taking a quick look at the incumbents present assets.
They know bloody well it won’t happen. Why ? Because ,despite MMP ,they will never be in a position to make it happen and I suspect they don’t want it ,
Tax is for other people, Never the Greens
You can’t imagine how hard they will go after the hated capitalists post election and nor can I.
They have been very open about using the devastation, of their lockdown, to introduce a new era of communism and social division.
I’ve said it many times – people don’t understand what Ardern is. Even now they underestimate how fanatical and extreme she is.
The good folks here on YSB are well aware of how evil Ardern is Kea. But the general public are stumbling around in the dark.
Generally true but some persist in thinking she is simply stupid. Rather than a hate filled narcissistic totalitarian, venting her rage on NZ.
Recent candidate announcements indicate to me social justice warriors rather than those working for environmental reasons are sought. I do not need more of that. I want to see New Zealanders getting more personally responsible for them selves and their families. Less government interference in daily life. The UBI announcement including punitive wealth tax does not do it for me.
I wonder how their champagne Socialists luvvies in Grey Lynn and Ponsonby would feel about that, with their 1-2 million dollar houses and the rental properties.
Where do business assets fit into this? A farm might be $5 or10m with a woeful return on capital of maybe 2%. Same with many rental properties. It will drive them our of business, or maybe that is the plan.
Congratulations Nicole. Well done on your candidacy!!
ACT Party candidate Nicole McKee wants ‘commonsense and practicalities’ brought back into Government
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/06/act-party-candidate-nicole-mckee-wants-commonsense-and-practicalities-brought-back-into-government.html
Since the Christchurch shooting last year, she’s frequently appeared in the media to criticise the Government’s gun reforms and the speed at which they were passed.
“I’ve been watching the erosion of a democratic process with our legislation over the last three years, and it’s become incredibly frustrating to be one of those persons on the outside,” she told Newshub.
She believes New Zealand’s laws should be rooted in policies that recognise the democratic rights to think, speak and behave in a legal and unobstructed way.
“I thought I can’t make any change from the outside and I want to be a voice on the inside. Really, it became a no-brainer [to run for ACT]. When I looked at ACT’s policies, I could relate to those, I can relate to the values and principles of the party.”
You should see the lefties and wankers attacking her on FB.
There is just hope for some people.
Major coup getting McKee .
She is a great thinker and very articulate.They will pull a lot of votes through her presence.
These are our RIGHTS:
1. Free and good quality housing.
2. Free food and clothing.
3. Free from financial hardship of any kind.
4. Pending ~ free weekly wage.
Remind me why we mugs are working?
Kea, as you know, we cannot have “rights” without “responsibilities.”
These are our RESPONSIBILITIES:
1. Produce at least what you consume
2. Find a mate and produce at least 2 children to help build the nation (no huge families mind you…)
3. Obey the law
4. Protest bad government through the ballot box
5. Be enterprising if you are able to be, and create
6. Do not vandalize the works of others
7. Keep Church and State separate
8. Judge a man by his character
9. Minimize your exposure to taxation (See 5 above)
10. Look after your health as best you can
So you’re not a Labour or Greens voter then. 😂
hAtE sPeeeeeeeech !!!!¡!!!¡!!😄
What I said is government policy and is dictated by UN agreements we are signatories to.
Guilty as charged.
The whites have “white guilt” of historical slavery and “oppression.”
The Japanese have “war guilt” of the same thing.
Who is screaming the most about guilt and what are their objectives?
Their objective is not the betterment of society and people.
What they seek is domination and total control.
Those guys again.
Don’t they ever grow up?
There have been calls for green reflective dots on sign posts to be utilised nationwide after a road-safety advocate promoted their meaning.
Ken Wilson and his wife, Jenny, are the founders of Truck Friendly, a road safety initiative which provides vital information for caravaners and how they can share the roads safely with trucks and other motorists.
Earlier this week, Truck Friendly shared a series of photos to Facebook, of green reflective dots on sign posts along the Bernard Highway in Bundaberg, Queensland..
“Need a place to pull over to let faster traffic pass?” it reads on Facebook.
“These green reflectors will help you find a safe place.”
https://au.news.yahoo.com/what-these-green-dots-on-the-side-of-highways-mean-083802078.html?fbclid=IwAR2YgBX54-zrxPrlPgvHepNmkm5q05krrTM6zd_mqhfCmjA9DxdWQFKTMtc
Most excellent idea.
Can we get NZTA out of their office and onto the job?
FFS whats wrong with looking in your rearview mirror occasionally and pull off the road a bit more. There are plenty of places for you to do so safely. But not enough do.
Many of us do Ed. Many of us also experience the sensation of driving ute & caravan over a 150/200mm of eroded tar seal edge onto a potholed gravel wasteland. South Island not too bad but the further north you go the worse it gets.
If Genter & her queer mates hauled arse & put a bit of the money wasted on “slow down” signs into road maintenance life would be better.
Because you have to know the pull over area is coming up and that it is safe to pull over, and not end up I a ditch.
Well we could if the road shoulders were better.
But its not about that. It’s about saying there is a safe space ( we need one you know) coming up where you won’t end up in a ditch. You don’t find them looking backwards.
More important for cars with caravans than the latest campervan that sits up like a truck with the lord and mighty looking out. Cars are different you know.
‘ealth & saftey “.
I know, waikatogirl. It is an out-moded idea and viewed as heresy by the Left.
The first relevant premise of Buddhism seems quite conservative on its face: the basic premise is that nobody, and I mean nobody, is going to save you from your own mind.
FFS YSBrs we are having a birthday for our 90 year old mum ,theres been a lot of people here today including children ,my youngest son (under 30 ) tells me that while the COL were attempting to make excuses for their F–K up with the Coronavirus they have banned,,,
TITANIUM TIPPED DEPLETED URANIUM ROUNDS , holy fuck if only I’d known beforehand I’d have gone out to gun city and stocked up .
Seriously, NZ is spinning out of control , if the pig Peters gets enough seats again in the coming election to bring Ardern back into power and with the virus excuse ,,,,,,,ANYTHING CAN BE EXPECTED..
Not “TITANIUM TIPPED DEPLETED URANIUM ROUNDS “.
Things will never be the same. My life is over! //
If anyone attacks this failed communists island state – I’m joining them.
Surely Trump needs to secure American interests down here. And we pose a clear threat to Australia.
Why? Just in case you need to shoot up armoured cars carrying the cash?
See they reckon there is another Russian nuclear power station leaking!
Just been listening to my favorite band Queen. A Night at the Opera, a brilliant album and the first track is timeless. Not going to put the lyrics up because I am shit with doing links. You could probably get them off Google or Youtube but, “Death on Two Legs” describes the shitshow currently polluting Parliament. Highly recommended…….no. Compulsory listening. Off now to have another bourbon and cigarette to listen to rest of the album. No work tomorrow, so why not ?
A Night at the Opera, a brilliant album indeed.
May’s “39” is one of my favorites. Astrophysics, temporal dilation, what’s not to like?
A P,,,, David Gimour , guitarist extraordinaire ,try that if you haven’t already .
Will do. Cheers.
What rev said. Try this, the solo at the end of Comfortably Numb live Pulse concert version in 94. Possibly the greatest solo ever to be caught on film:

Now where does the truth sit with this? fake?
Plenty of others have reported this as news, but I have tried to pick on a source, that seems to cover a number of sources, so that is some truth may be in there, despite how it is covered.
“The truly shocking revelation that if the Times report is true, and I emphasize that again, is that President Trump, the commander in chief of American troops serving in a dangerous theater of war, has known about this for months, according to the Times, and done worse than nothing,”
Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, said during a virtual town hall.
The White House said neither Trump nor Vice President Mike Pence was briefed on such intelligence.
“This does not speak to the merit of the alleged intelligence but to the inaccuracy of the New York Times story erroneously suggesting that President Trump was briefed on this matter,” press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement.
‘Propagandists’ slammed
Russia called the report “nonsense.”
“This unsophisticated plant clearly illustrates the low intellectual abilities of the propagandists of American intelligence, who instead of inventing something more plausible have to make up this nonsense,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
The Times quoted a Taliban spokesman denying that its militants have such a deal with the Russian intelligence agency.

Am i a skeptic, or becoming more a cynic?
It’s a squirrel bro.
The USA has way bigger problems than their old allies the Russians. Russia rejected communism, while Americans are demanding it.
As for Muslims, they only kill Americans silly enough to move there and set up house.
Bring the troops home. There is work to do.
The Greens are out to tax my assets… but my assets are well past their use-by date.
Will I get refunds?
New Zealand passed away on 19 October 2017 after an agonising and drawn out battle with stupidity. An autopsy revealed the cause of death was suicide.
Going to be a lot of us who have paid off our mortgages who won’t be voting Green.
Maggy,
Can I suggest a good bra to to carry your assets around in!
It could even inflate our assets and make your cup runneth over!
They’ve been liberated for 40 years…

Nothing to do with use by. All to do with value.
It’s a truism that the older things get the more valuable they become.
Unfortunatrely probably not so for titties and pussy. 😆
There is a statue honouring the person who said this, outside Wellington’s train station:
“Ours is one continual struggle against a degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the Europeans, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir whose occupation is hunting, and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with and, then, pass his life in indolence and nakedness.”
And that’s just a taster😄

My favourite Gandhi quote:
“I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
“I’ll have those n*ggers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” ~ Democrat President Lyndon B. Johnson, bragging how he could buy votes of minorities by getting them hooked on the drug of government dependence, i.e., modern-day Democrat slavery.
“White folks was in caves while we was building empires… We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.” ~ “Reverend,” ~ Al Sharpton
[I think the good Reverend meant, astronomy]
“I think one man is just as good as another so long as he’s not a n*gger or a Chinaman. Uncle Will says that the Lord made a White man from dust, a n*gger from mud, then He threw up what was left and it came down a Chinaman. He does hate Chinese and Japs. So do I. It is race prejudice, I guess. But I am strongly of the opinion Negroes ought to be in Africa, Yellow men in Asia and White men in Europe and America.” ~ Democrat President Harry Truman
I wonder who President Harry Truman was speaking to. Who was his audience?
One needs to study Harry Truman’s background to appreciate his words in context.
“His parents, Truman recalled, were “a violently unreconstructed southern family” and “Lincoln haters.” His mother was an ardent admirer of William Quantrill, the Confederate guerrilla leader who, pillaging Lawrence, Kansas, in 1863, slew at least one hundred and fifty of its citizens, including women and children. One historian has called him “the bloodiest man in American history.” Ref: https://www.americanheritage.com/conversion-harry-truman
A man of his times.
Times have changed some 80 years later.
FUCK the GREENS – Fucking Communist CUNTS
Not a fan then?
Bird, did you know Israel is the world leader in water conservation?
How dare they.
They are the world leaders in pinching their neighbors land too.
Might as well, wasted otherwise.
Don’t be shy, rightoverlabour.
Tell us how you really feel…
I dunno O-Sen, but it sounds like he want’s to make love with them.
He’s a self confessed Godnutter, Saffa & teacher but I’m certain there’s more really kinky stuff to be revealed. 🙂
Hmm, tooo subtle? I’ll try harder.
Loud and clear rol. I agree with your sentiment.
Work hard and save in this country only to pay a UBI tax to those indolent bums who choose not to. Student to be paid UBI as well. Sadistic F’n Greens!!
Telling it like it is rol. Don’t you EVER back down from your beliefs.
“Eat yer bloody Greens!!”
Turns out my Grandfather may have been a cannibal.
I would recommend taking a look at the BFD item showing our leaders address to the UN.
If you can stomach it .
I try and try to alert people to Agenda 2030 but to see Adern blatantly state that they (the government) have ‘incorporated the principles of agenda 2030 into our policy making ‘ is truly sickening .
Nobody asked us ,the taxpayers and voters, if we want to sign up to this agenda.
The National Party need a kick up the ass if they agree with this line of thinking.
They do and they are going to get it.
Thought you would have got the mesage by now.
Party Vote ACT.
The Greens are supposed to look like weird and whacky aggressor’s. They’re purely there as a distraction.
Labour and National are the drivers of the agenda. They pretend to be moderates and deflectors of disdain, whilst, in the dead of night, set in stone, NZ’s future, by passing laws that prohibit contestation, scrutiny and judgement.
They are all actors.
We are at the mercy of the selected, not the elected.
Anarchy will arrive at our doorstep soon enough.
