surround yourself with bad apples instead?
just not stupid people. It may give you the impression that you are very bright, but others won’t notice the difference.
Like the Public Service, apples rot from the inside.
Based on the well-known fact that a fish rots from the head, so does the Public Service.
starts at the top and insidiously consumes the victim.
Well known fact?
“The phrase “a fish rots from the head down” is a metaphorical expression, not a literal biological fact. In reality, fish do not rot from the head down; instead, their internal organs, which are rich in bacteria, begin to decompose first, leading to the overall decay of the fish. The head is not the initial point of decomposition.? Brave AI
Ask a fisherman, not AI.
he’s/she’s/trans has never been fishing.
And I was talking about an organisation, not an individual.
Kinda different.
AI, like Wikipedia, is subject to its biases ( in the case of Wikipedia, its editing by anyone), and its misinformation and manipulation, depending on which model you use.
How about personal observation. A dead fish on the beach will still have it’s head intact when the middle part of it’s body has decomposed. I accept that it is used as a metaphorical saying but science it ain’t.
Perfection is our goal, excellence will be tolerated?
Morning all. Lovely morning.
I see Tarquin is hogging all the rain again today.
Nice, clear morning here.
I see that, according to the MSM, the “world” thinks the All Blacks win versus their loss to the Froggies is bullshit.
Betting scandal, no doubt.
SB mentioned bad apples. So I thought you might be interested in this.
David Seymour criticises UN official over indigenous rights letter
Deputy Prime Minister David Seymour has told a United Nations official their views on the Government’s indigenous rights agenda are wrong and “an affront to New Zealand’s sovereignty”.
Last month, the Government received a letter from Geneva-based Albert K. Barume, the United Nations’ Special Rapporteur on the rights of Indigenous Peoples, a sort of watchdog for indigenous rights.
The letter addressed to New Zealand’s representative to the UN in Geneva for distribution to Foreign Minister Winston Peters and the wider Government concerns “allegations” Barume had received about the erosion of indigenous rights in New Zealand under the coalition.
Barume said he was “particularly concerned” with the Regulatory Standards Bill, which he said “excludes Māori traditions [tikanga] and fails to uphold the principles of partnership, active protection, and self-protection guaranteed under the Treaty of Waitangi”.
“I am preoccupied that the bill threatens Māori-specific laws that address structural inequalities in matters relating to, for example, land, language and environmental stewardship, and because it seems to impose a monocultural legal standard, marginalising Māori as legal subjects without respecting their own governance frameworks”.
Seymour hit back
Writing in his capacity as the Minister for Regulation, saying he found the letter “presumptive, condescending, and wholly misplaced”.
“As an indigenous New Zealander myself, I am deeply aggrieved by your audacity in presuming to speak on my behalf and that of my fellow Māori regarding legislation that aims solely at ensuring clarity, consistency, and accountability in regulatory processes.”
Seymour said Barume’s characterisation of the Regulatory Standards Bill’s approach to tikanga was “not only incorrect but offensive” because the bill “neither undermines nor overrides” current Treaty settlements or ”statutory protections afforded to Māori”.
Seymour said Barume’s allegation the bill threatened Māori-specific laws was either “a profound misunderstanding or deliberate misrepresentation of the bill’s intent and scope”.
This is the second letter a Special Rapporteur for Indigenous Rights has sent the coalition, with Barume’s predecessor writing a less critically worded letter to the Government last year.
Seymour appears to have had enough, signing off his letter saying that the “Special Rapporteur’s insistence on interfering in matters of domestic law is an affront to New Zealand’s sovereignty”.
“We neither require nor welcome external lectures on our governance, particularly from bodies whose understanding of our nuanced historical, cultural, and constitutional context is so clearly deficient,” he said.
Other matters also rankled Barume, including the NZ First and National coalition agreement commitment to confirm the Government “does not recognise the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) as having any binding legal effect on New Zealand”.
Previous governments – including the Key Government, which signed up to UNDRIP – have said the declaration was not binding on New Zealand, but that has not stopped work to try to implement it here, including He Puapua, the controversial report commissioned by the last Labour Government, which envisaged things like a separate Māori parliament.
Barume wrote to express his “concern” at this part of the coalition agreement.
Its is in the Herald for those that can.
As I have said for 4 months now
ACT need to exit the so called coalition in early December 2025
Give the Gnats a wake up call.
Then maybe the Gnats and their traitorous scumbags like luxon, bishop, pootucker, dutchie stanford et al
might get a clue (a long shot, to be sure)
it is odd that NZFist appear to get increased support in a recent poll when all they have done is talked.
There is nothing concrete.
Jones is full of hot air.
They put adern into power, were there for 3 anti-democratic years in government,
and had a pay off of 3 Billion dollars to hand out to mates with the PGF.
2023- 2026 = Same people, same outcomes.
ACT have been screwed by a turncoat notional party at every turn.
Best they burn
the shitshow to the ground.
Unless they prefer the baubles to better governance.
Do a Samson to the temple.
I wonder what it will take.
Its my sense that Seymour is in charge now and, with at least some of the Nats in cabinet, is pushing things through that Luxon doesn’t/won’t like.
Luxon ain’t getting the press these days.
Logical thinking and questioning are slowly coming into play.
Get out of the UN.
any decent, fair person seeking a level playing field and opportunity for all would want to dissociate from U.N.
Most western politicians do NOT have these traits incl. 90% of NZ dirtbag MPs.
I think we all know Moori were are not indigenous.
For once I can agree with Seeless.
If only National would come out in full support of his stance.
The Nats are a fucked up party. The sooner the plebs wake up and realise this, the happier the right thinking voter will be. NZ first and ACT will form a government with the help of the nats in a minor roll. Given the right kind of baubles, I fear the Nats will spit the dummy, and form a coalition with Liarbour.
Nats are a party with no principles any more since Bolger arrived.
They removed them so anything since has been flexible according to their desires of the day.
As a reminder of what was.
...form a coalition with Liarbour….
———
notional are total SHIT Traitors
so if it is a BAD idea…..
….they will do it
2002 election showed there is only a baseline support of just over 20%
the same as social Credit got 21 years beforehand.
Great reply by Seymour. He is the very reason that we should not be comparing people based on colour tone charts, thickness of lips or angle of eyes to determine race. Seymour may look like a Honky, but his lineage makes him Maori through and through. Probably more Maori than half the ferals supporting the Maori Party…. (especially those relying on suntanning…. )
The best bit is this ““As an indigenous New Zealander myself, “
The United Nations hates the idea of nation states. All must be done to weaken them, as nation states are stumbling blocks on the road to a one-world government.
Bloody yodeling Nazis again. Refuse to fund them!
Can’t happen soon enough, although I imagine that even though Trump hasn’t said so, he just might toss them out of America eventually, once he has removed as much funding as he can. America has for a long time funded something like 50% of the place. Must be on his long-term hit list for savings for their taxpayers.
Do the UN pay rates?
There’s more from Sue Woods, and it looks like she has a pile of interesting stuff in her basement. writing a book.

14,600-hectare property in Otago attracting local and international interest.
– A 14,600-hectare South Island property, valued at $140m, is on the market.
– The stations are expected to attract wealth funds or high net worth individuals due to their scale.
– Overseas buyers need approval, giving locals an advantage in the tender.
At over 14,600 hectares and consisting of three integrated stations and 58 freehold titles, a rare piece of New Zealand is on the market in the South Island.
That’s a decent sized paddock. I might grab that if it’s still for sale this arvo. Just got to pop out and do a few jobs.
be some good hunting there for ya too saggy, plenty of fallow, pigs n wallabies.
thatll help you get it past the missus, live on farm and no more 12hr round trip to go hunting. with the way meat prices are going youll break even sometime just before the sun extinguishes itself in a few billion years 🙂
You could buy one of the middlemarch ones for a pig hunting block.
A pension fund will buy it (and sew pine trees all over it). Or some oligarch will buy it.
I don’t mean to be pedantic O-sen but the sewing machines are a little small for sowing agricultural seed.
Have a great day. 🙂
But the pine trees do come with their own needles!
Good point. You’re very sharp this fine morning 😂
And they comply with health and safety while doing so, by putting out cones.
In reality the one up the haka is at least 4 normal farms . Perhaps the mccaw lad could buy his old home block back. The reality is the valuation will be double what you can earn and pay for .
I guess that’s why they have amalgamated so many farms, so that there is a diversity in the operation. Makes sense.
A lot of dairy farmers have runoffs for the beasties as they are growing up or for hay and silage for their farms. Dairy land itself is often too valuable for that use.
An Italian guy put most of the haka farms together 20 years ago and he sold out to the yank
Who was the Italian? Antonio Pasquaile?
Yep

He has sold most of them now,

Once society requires both husband and wife to work full-time to afford a house, your birthrate will fall below the replacement level and you will face an aging population.
You could encourage immigrants, but their children will face the same issue.
Videos from East and West are decrying the crashing birthrate. One way would be to enable a single worker to support his family (like in the last century). There would be trade-offs.
-No international holidays
-Limited restaurant and fast-food
-One car (used) per household
-Far less consumerism
-Limited private education
-Limited private medical care
-Limited ability to take on large loans
The big companies would suffer sales falls. Banks would have reduced profits. Oh, the humanity!
Would you want to return to the “idyllic days of 50 years ago”? (Were they that idyllic in the first place?)

With the global population over 8 billion and still growing, I can’t see the world running out of humans any time soon. Trouble is, more and more of hem will be muslims.
Our society has been built around the FIAT system which means currencies are debased over time.
Hence all the problems.
A new system is coming.
BRICS new payment system?
No wonder US and EU want to bust up Russia and China.
not the one you crypto bros envisage tho.
itll be cbdc and ubi coupled with social credit scores.
youre an utter moron if you believe banks/govt will allow average joe to bypass the system and not let them clip the ticket and exercise control over the masses.
The world population is in serious decline in many countries already, if you remove immigration.+
Japan, Germany, USA, China to name some. Probably Australia and New Zealand as well.
All due to unfriendly family policies, and now exacerbated by the COVID-19 jab.
The stats are now coming out on that. 30% drop in infant births in countries in Europe.
The phrase “girls can do everything” was and remains the feminists way of controlling the birth rate via contraception.
A woman’s best child-rearing age is between 16 and 25. That’s well known and documented.
The closer they get top 30, the more IVF they need after years on the “Pill”
Ask around if you think that’s not correct.
its all by design.
this is the way its been planned and how they can control the majority by keeping them in a pointless rat race just to keep ones head above water.
humans gullability for consumerism and purchasing many nice to haves is whats caused it all, but that was created by easy access to credit.
if they removed credit cards, afterpay type plans and easy finance things would rapidly change but the economy would come to an abrupt halt.
everything is debt fuelled, fucking everything!
Debt-fueled. Sure looks like it.
Many major nations are running off debt. At the same time, they aren’t having enough children.
Old people consume different goods and services than do young breeders. How can this surplus of (home-owning and therefore wealthy) senior citizens be utilized by the State? I think we are going to see “auto-euthanasia” become more common in the future.
“Self-euthanize and your estate will be subject to a lower level of death duties.”
we need to liberalize euthanasia asap, make it available to anyone for any reason, maybe just have a 48hr cool off period but apart from that let it rip.
we focus too much on saving lives at pretty much any cost.
govt just want you alive so they can use you as colateral to borrow against, they dont care that theyll have to raise taxes eventually to pay for expensive health care with near zero ROI.
funded healthcare should be on a sliding scale, the older one gets the less taxpayer contributes. eg up to 20yrs old 100% but decrease it 2% per year after so by age 70 its at zero.
As n old geezer, I agree. As ”health care” consists largely of Big Pharma poisons, I’m willing to take my chances without it.
……”we need to liberalize euthanasia asap, make it available to anyone for any reason,”…..
Totally agree. We have cities full of old bludgers sitting around doing fuck all other than holding on to their ever diminishing stock of marbles yet our Godaddled control freaks deny them a painless dignified exit.
Unpacking the errors in that post would take too long, but let’s start with Gates being in his twenties, Tesla and Rutherford being in their thirties when major advances were made.
Next time you put milk in your tea be thankful for the brawn that went into producing it
Then there’s the wee matter of negative effect taxation that was enjoyed by many generations.
Think again.
Built on others’ foundations, of course and in some cases, other people’s money. Plenty of big businesses started by older people and manymany smaller ones. Those are the few you can point out. then there are these for the older people. Along with many more.
As for taxation, well, that’s the socialist pollies you believe in.
Are you including Bill Gates under advances that benefit humanity? WTF?
Billy’s earlier work (in conjunction with others) brought computing to the masses. That was certainly more useful than his later efforts – and of more value to humanity than M, Coke and KFC.
Planting pine trees isn’t for the weak-kneed pencil-pusher either.
Agree with that, having spent a few years in my youth doing just that and pruning, long before any mechanisation. Not even any roading, so all packed in the morning and afternoon.
Of course you have.
I’d have expected no less.
those people will be successful, theyll be fine and able to afford old age no worries at all and continue to better humanity.
im not saying lets mandate euthanasia at x age, im saying lets stop putting good money after bad. tbh i think if ones been on welfare for 5+years then they should only qualify for very basic healthcare at most, why the fuck blow 10s or hundreds of thousands to keep them alive and bludging.
we need to remove emotional feelz from decision making and funding. emotion and hope has caused us far more trouble then any other issue, its humans biggest weakness…. your beloved AI and algorithms will take care of this problem in the near future.
…..”With age comes experience, knowledge and lots of other things that collalesce to do or make great things.”….

Oh dear, how sad, never mind.
Earlier last week, Plunket on his show said The Platform needs more subscribers to survive. Calling everyone you disagree with cookers and interrupting callers who disagree with you, is not a winning strategy.
and the muppet sold out to the jews/israel and spurts endless propaganda. dumb fuck shouldve charged for it and he wouldnt have to beg.
i dont subscribe or give the fucker a cent because hes a shit journalist, arrogant as fuck and bleats on day after day about exact same shit.
laws and leah are far better, they at least have a range of topics and a far better interview style and manner.
“open, tolerant and free” pffft yeah right.
then he still plays paul brenans platform add saying how msm tell you how to think and how to feel and how the platforms different…. then sean goes on about how everyone should support israel, hate cookers etc and only his view is the right one. hilarious, he should listen to himself sometimes.
i just troll him constantly, you guys should do it too. when he tries to call you on air you know youve won and seriously struck a nerve 🙂
Stacking shelves at Pak n Save would suit Sean’s talents, the sooner the better.
I agree Ed, Totally disrespectful of any opinion other than his own. He suffers the delusion of a superior intellect way above that of his listeners. The irony of a talk radio “star” who denies free speech.
Michael Law is far superior, a thoughtful and inquisitive talkback host.
Agree WG, Michael Laws is really good and getting better. Most of his rants (sorry, monologues) are well worth listening to.

The viper’s nest of socialism & collectivism, often referred to as Auckland University, has reached out to condemn ACT’s Regulatory Standards Bill. If we are to believe Professor Anne Salmond passing it into legislation would signal the end of civilisation as we know it.
It seems that if:
#. “relationships with other life forms and the environment are ignored, these also become dysfunctional, with the mass extinctions of other life forms, polluted lakes and rivers, ravaged landscapes, melting glaciers, heating oceans and climate change.”
It gets worse:
#. “a libertarian version of ‘freedom’ and democracy are incompatible. Taken to the extreme, the unfettered pursuit of freedom by individuals undermines democracy and the rule of law, and the rights of others. ”
Even the sinecures of the elite are threatened:
#. “The disciplines of law, public policy, political studies, public health and nursing, philosophy, the arts and literature, history, urban design, environmental studies, architecture, human geography, sociology and anthropology are defunded, as if understanding human life does not matter.”
No mention of rivers & seas boiling, fire & brimstone coming down from the skies nor forty years of darkness. Maybe she’s leaving a little bit of wriggle room.
https://newsroom.co.nz/2025/07/09/anne-salmond-a-flawed-bill/
Currently setting up a meeting to advise her. Will retire as soon as the 1st Consultation fee comes in.
#. “a libertarian version of ‘freedom’ and democracy are incompatible. Taken to the extreme, the unfettered pursuit of freedom by individuals undermines democracy and the rule of law, and the rights of others. ”
What an utterly fatuous statement. Any libertarian understands that with rights come responsibilities – best summed up by the Golden Rule. She’s wilfully conflating libertarianism with anarchism – which she will be aware has both left and right variants.
Beeutch.
The best part of being a conspiracy theorist is not having myocarditis.

Govt set to quash death sentences on hundreds of quake-prone buildingsThe ‘uncomfortable reality’ is that policy-makers must place a value on human life, minister says, to decide how much to spend on safety work
Building and Construction Minister Chris Penk is proposing 1800-plus buildings in Auckland, Northland and coastal Otago be removed from earthquake-strengthening requirements, saying science shows those regions are less risky.
It’s one of a swathe of changes he’s taking to Cabinet, in a bid to reset the balance between preserving life, preserving buildings, and saving money. He also wants changes to foreign investment and consenting rules to make it more cost-effective to replace or strengthen the buildings, especially for heritage buildings.
In the aftermath of the Canterbury and Kaikōura earthquakes, the owners of public and private buildings around New Zealand were ordered to strengthen or demolish them – which would cost billions of dollars. As a result, many have been boarded up and are sitting derelict.
https://newsroom.co.nz/2025/07/10/govt-set-to-quash-death-sentences-on-hundreds-of-quake-prone-buildings/?fbclid=IwY2xjawLf1pdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHji4twrQC2XR-SNtS-PU-pTD6Tboo7RQannddupdUiggtKrim5tu94v_2DU2_aem_NIfsvg3LwGFc1l8jw001Mg
Napier Council have demolished the council buildings and library because of this bs.
These were relatively new buildings and one would have thought they would have been engineered to a high standard given 1931.
It’s costing ratepayers millions.
Oh, they used mould as the excuse here for the council building and until recently, were trying to demolish the QE 2 centre and the Otumoetai Pool on the same basis. The CCO and staff conspired to do that, but it’s all gone due to hard work by residents. The drivers of this, construction and tourism, lied and used assessments made before the last upgrades to justify it.
All going to go now.
As it should.
I did see an updated map earlier today with the area’s marked out.
I thought the library was single-story? And not brick? Why the heck would that be a significant risk to anyone?
I heard an interview with an engineer who from memory was involved in helping with the original legislation. The take-away was that the legislation is not actually usually applied correctly and ends up with adequate buildings being tagged as “unsafe”.
….In the aftermath of the Canterbury and Kaikōura earthquakes, the owners of public and private buildings around New Zealand were ordered to strengthen or demolish them…

Put simply, if the Nelson City Council (as an example) defaults on it’s loan obligations then all you good people, no matter where you live, will be liable via your local council.

this was discussed on here quite some time ago, was all going on around same time as mandates etc. there was a document that went with it along with mayors/ceo signatures, in the end i believe it was all bullshit hysteria and shit had been taken outve context and twisted up badly… it was pushed hard by liz gunn so thats all you need to know really to tell it was bullshit and dosent actually mean what the fearmongerers were saying it did.
liz would mention specific clauses and you could look it up and it didnt say anything of the sorts.
this is pretty much same level of misinterpretation and fearmongering bullshit that the leftards are having with seymours regulations standards bill.
ignore it and move on, besides if it turns out legit (which i highly doubt) most of you old coots will be dead by time it happens anyways.
” if it turns out legit (which i highly doubt)”
Just for you SB

do the liz gunn thing and list specific areas to back up the claims.
ill happily go check it out and be proven wrong but im not gunna waste my time searching through the whole thing cuz a few nutters on the internet cant read properly.
No you won’t.
I have known that for years.
I was thinking of your experience when I posted it , wiseowl. Am I correct to assume membership to LGNZ is not a condition to accessing the loan facilities?
Council elections coming up,
Find out if your Council is part of the LGNZ
If so then raise at, and make sure the candidates know, and see if they understand this.
Then will they undertake to rescind their membership.
That will not be easy as the technically those loans are signed contracts with that guarantee in place that will tie the Councils hands, but still worth exploring the options.
Just not for Wellington Council.
Just tell them a professional spender, ex Mininster of Health, Andrew Little that was given & then spent $1.8 billion dollars, on mental health & can you find even a new ward, or even 1 bed?
A rinse & repeat for “Mayor” Andrew Little will saddle Wellington Council, to be in the running to a massive default.
I’m definitely raising that point for Wellington CC, at the right time S1.
But I’m not sure if this setup is dependent on membership of LGNZ. For example, I know Auckland and Christchurch are not members but are they tied into the financial scheme ?
Wellington City would have the most to gain, if A. LIttle wins?
An interesting point as the “financial scheme ties” could be part of a different regime even if under the auspices of LGNZ.
Time may be of some essence as may have to OIA to get the essential parts of answer?

So I guess everyone is different.

True that.
Especially for Ford cars. Imagine the excitement in Aussie when they shut up shop.
Apart from the taxpayer fronting up with 27k for each one, they were still junk.

I understand that they are trying to bring back the moa (not sure if it’s a Morrison or Masport) Personally all I want is bring back the Duck. He’s an embarrassment, at least we bought.back Goofy! He blotted his copy book and will never be seen out in public or heard in an interview again!!!
There’s no moa. There’s even a song about it ar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4YtUwQc3aw&list=OLAK5uy_mLl37P83zP96X3Veo0CZiiqAa5urkHmA0

Those are elephant seals. It is their method of showing affection.
theyre not seals, theyre fucking walruses.
Not much further training to go, just to gain the fine tuning of the rules;
A lot of money can be made in Japan on the Sumo circuit.
Perhaps Odakyu-Sen can be persuaded to offer expert opinion on whether that idea would fly. 🙂
Only a crane could make those two fly.
Weird thing is they probs fighting over a male of the species. I’m frightened to imagine what that looks like.
The clip would have been improved by commentary from David Attenborough.
Who is to blame for the Epstein list fiasco. Megan Kelly asks MAGA conference attendees.

clash with FBI exposed
DeVory Darkins
MAJOR Conservative Media voices are now demanding the resignation of Pam Bondi. This comes as Dan Bongino has threaten to quit over the Jeffrey Epstein debacle and Kash Patel is demanding Pam Bondi to step down.
Bongino was the wrong choice IMHO.
There’s a lot more to those documents than the podcasters and MSM, etc realise.
Remember, they all want clickbait.
To publish a lot of it will expose all the CIA and FBI informants, along with those from Britain and Israel and other places. That would be a disaster of epic proportions for America. and others.
There is also the trafficked women to consider.
According to what I have read, there are thousands of tapes, many of them of trafficked girls and ladies.
Would these people care if they were exposed to the public?
I think not, as they are more concerned about their own dollars than the people involved.
Kash Patel is very focused. Bongino was only an operative and very probably a good one.
There’s more under the Hood, and as I learnt from a very good policeman. Nothing is as it seems.
Most of them can’t run away and politics is a shit game as we know.
Agree. I rather like Pam Bondi, so I hope she does not get turfed.
Is it supposed to be this cold in Auckland? I know it’s winter and all, but I thought going north was supposed to be warmer. 🥶
Its not cold. Fucking moist, but not cold. Johannesburg near the tropics is much colder.
Did no one ever tell you that it never stops raining up there?
Those land agents and tourism operators have a lot to answer for.
If you don’t keep moving you’ll grow mould on your south side!
Lichen.
I am forewarned
The humidity, that dampness carries the cold, into your bones.
Dry cold temperature does not affect as bad.
Then others note the wind-chill factor.
The Uni-Party guide to NZ Voters:
Of course you’re allowed to ask questions. Here is the list of approved questions.
You’re absolutely free to study & investigate for yourself. Here is the list of approved sources.
We’re not trying to stifle thought! We want you to learn everything you can so you reach the approved conclusions.
They also feel the need to call those with free though conspiracy theorists, cookers, nutters, anti-vaxxers, river of filth, far-right and of course Trump supporters. 😎
At least we can think for ourselves.
Part of showing great “kindness” when recognizing the answer as “they are us” works well against certain “…… phobias”
“the only source of truth”
“that is what is. Yep yip”.

Unfortunately a lot of the people who took it didn’t have many to brain cells to start with.
good thing you nutters didnt get the jab then, youre already short enough on braincells as it is.
See, we know what we are doing.
Without doubt.
along with many other bits of the body.
Never forget the master…..

He was truly brilliant. Witty, intelligent, a real leader during very stressful times.
