Gangs of Pōneke
At its colonial dawn, Pōneke was a town of two halves. The border was Clay Point, a tall bluff where harbour tides foamed and crashed across a pathway of slippery boulders. Access was often impossible.
To the north, on Thorndon Flat, lay the government quarter. A string of rickety shops grew up along Lambton Quay, the original ‘Beach’. The other half was Te Aro to the south: densely crowded, less wealthy, semi-amphibious. Private wharves engulfed the foreshore, which then lay roughly where Courtenay Place runs today.
In the early 1840s downtown Pōneke saw vicious turf wars between youthful settler gangs from rival ends of town. Sons of Te Aro workingmen called ‘Flats’ fought on the rocky foreshore with well-heeled sons of Thorndon officials, known as ‘Sharps’.
Eyewitness (and school teacher) George MacMorran recalled the youngsters parodying local Māori: stripping to the waist, smearing themselves with whale oil, red ochre and brandishing manuka sticks. The ‘Flats’ and the ‘Sharps’ fought at Clay Point; then the fiercely contested dividing line between their rival territories.
Local Māori, presumably shaking their heads at these crazy colonials, meanwhile looked on from their pā at Pipitea Point (Thorndon), Kumutoto (near Woodward Street) and Te Aro to the south. They’d be ruthlessly pushed out over time, as settlers swarmed in, mainly from England.
MacMorran recalled in his 1900 memoir: ‘Youthful bands of Te Aro ‘Flats’ and Thorndon ‘Sharps’ met by arrangement…and for the time being settled the question of superiority. There was very little friendly intercourse between the two ends of the town. Their great ambition [the Sharps] was to catch the Te Aro Flat boys unawares, which was seldom. A great encounter would take place and there would be a regular fight. This was a favourite game and borrowed from the Maoris. The ring leaders would be threatened parentally with the stocks. They stood on Thorndon flats, at once a menace to evil doers and an object of derision. I never saw them used.’
In time, most of Clay Point was cut away and dumped in the sea. The first reclamation of the harbour occurred in the 1850s as barrows of spoil were dumped to widen the narrow shoreline track.
The two halves were joined at last. Today we know Clay Point as Stewart Dawson’s Corner, where Willis Street meets Lambton Quay.
– Redmer
……”The first reclamation of the harbour occurred in the 1850s as barrows of spoil were dumped to widen the narrow shoreline track…….The two halves were joined at last.”…..
Those behind the barrows were assisted greatly by the 8.2 magnitude earthquake of 1855 which lifted the land between two & three metres. The foreshore became Customhouse Quay about 100 metres east.
The MV Bali Sea was a rare rail ferry that operated between Coatzacoalcos, Mexico and Mobile, Alabama, carrying up to 115 fully loaded railcars across the Gulf of Mexico. Instead of crossing land borders, trains from Mexico’s Ferrosur line were rolled directly onto the ship using a linkspan ramp system supported by two vertical towers. These towers allowed for precise height adjustments to match the ferry deck with the shore tracks, ensuring smooth loading regardless of sea level changes.
Originally launched in 1981 as a heavy-lift ship, she was converted into a rail ferry in 2000 to serve the CG Railway route. The Bali Sea offered a 900-mile maritime shortcut for rail cargo, cutting transit time and avoiding congestion at U.S.–Mexico border crossings. After two decades of service, she was retired in 2021 and replaced by larger, faster ferries, but her role in connecting two nations with seamless train-to-sea transport remains a landmark in intermodal logistics.

It can be done then.
Gawd
you lot are triggering the OLD Coot
Now he wont be able to get on with running the country !!
while he has to be here and always get the Last Say.
👄😬😬😬
Those curtains will have to clean themselves today.
Lots people own curtains.
Nice curtains, expensive curtains.
what about you?
do you even have windows or doors in
yourhome vehicle? shackNo, you take that honour with you, rambling diatribes from wiki.
When I worked in Chartering for J Lauritzen of Copenhagen in the very late 1970’s early 1980’s, this vessel was just being built and operated by Lauritzens and launched as a heavy Lift vessel called the “Dan Mover” in 1981 and then she became the “Super Servant 6”.
One very large Heavy Lift semi submersible vessel who has had quite a few name changes and operators over the years.
Still going it seems AH.
Interesting history.
Another Scandinavian success story like Maresk.
V2, when I worked for the Scandahooligans, Maersk in Dry Cargo and Bulk were quite a large organisation and Lauritzen’s were the largest Refrigerated Carriers but overall Danish shipping and shipowners were substantial earners with close to 30% of GDP in Denmark coming from shipping alone.
The only mistake they have made is letting the rag heads in.
We don’t even need a whole main trunk line anymore , just lines from a sea port to an inland port beyond the city boundary. The line from chch to picton was closed for 2 years and nobody cared. I say No to rail ferries using my tax dollars.
Oh, they cared, and the cost of freight went way up.
When mainfreight, who are international freight operators, suggest that it’s needed, perhaps they know more than you do.
If we spent as much money on rail as we do on big trucks, roads and drivers, etc., then rail would be in a better position than it is now.
Judging them on the old performance of the past is plain dumb. +
We are continually exhorted to up our game and export more and more (Something that has been ranted by successive governments for many years). We need better transport options. electric trucks ain’t it, and I am currently working on a project that involves Euro 6 trucks and a problem they have in their system.
Lastly, but not least, the Ferries have been good earners for rail. If they weren’t, there would be no opposition.
They just lacked the investment, much of which wasn’t in the ships ( $540 Mil as I recall), but in the revamping of both the shore-side facilities and the roading to support them.
Much of that wasn’t the railways’ responsibility, although they were lumbered with it. Ports of Picton and Wellington needed to pay their share, as well as NZTA.
Therein lies the issue. It’s not with rail but with the others who have got out of jail with their lack of foresight and plain old whinging.
A 100-year project fucked as usual by short-term so so-called stay-at-home Mum finance minister.
Prime use of superannuation funds. which will now get spent overseas.
as they do.
And you wonder why we are poor and have lousy infrastructure. Thinking only of yourselves and your lifetime and style.
blah blah blah
The rail ferry from Picton to WTN did not start until 1962.
So how was it NZ had a thriving economy in the prior 20 years
and in fact was the highest per capita GDP in the world in the early 1950s?
In fact it was after the intro of the Picton rail ferries that the country went into decline from 1974 (liebour govt) and has never recovered.
Prior to that the NZD was higher in exchange value than the USD.
take ya meds.
The world has left us behind.
We stopped selling carcasses to Britain way back when you were a child.
It’s never recovered because we went back to the same old bullshit that the Nats have dished out since and before.
Look at the current lot. If it weren’t for ACT we would be becoming more communist under the duo parties.
time the populace had a clean out of all those lefties that have run NZ forever.
We have nothing that needs rail shipped between the two islands its that simple.
You know that how. Guess you were a trucker then.
What do you mean were
That makes your argument even weaker. Us taxpayers are subsidising the roads you drive on.
aw hell, now youll trigger the old coot obsessed with trains and ferries. he knowd absolutely everything cuz he looks at a port everyday.
Perhaps if you spent a bit of time learning what happens in the real world in the North Island you might know better.
as dougal pointed out the main line was gone for 2 years yet the country didnt collapse.
your precious rail ferry will be non existent for 2-3years until new ferries arrive yet the country wont notice.
the ROI on rail is fucking terrible, just another huge waste of money. if its that great it would be run privately at a profit but its impossible cuz our country is too small.
Will it be a mere 2 to 3 years ?
Winston Peters announced this so it is unlikely to ever eventuate into a fact…
going on the past 40 years of his announcements!
AND it’s on fb so it must be right
Nothing like being ignorant, is there?
It’s a suit you wear well
Oh no. that’s your suit. You seem to think that the MSM will always tell you the news.
Well, there’s a lot for you to learn about FB.
Its not just a chatter club where people show their cats and dinners.
Thats your ignorant point of view.
Along with others, I might add.
Got a hobby at all other than slagging of me nd FB.
Try looking at all the grupos that are about your hobby.
Git a business, try looking at businesses of your type on FB.
Want updated information on anything, and you will find it there first.
Ask your grandkids or even better, ask them to teach you how to use Facebook.
No one needs lifestyle advice from someone who has so obviously not achieved any balance in his own.
The business I owned had nothing whatsoever to so with Facebook. Perhaps you don’t realise that not all businesses are modelled on yours.
And if I mentioned fb to my grandkids they’d laugh at me – fb is for fossils.
You really do need to get out more.
Quite happy, thank you very much.
Love what I do and more excited about what’s coming up than I have been since before covid.
Playing bowls or bike riding doesn’t inspire me in any way.
My biggest challenge is having enough time every day to annoy you lot.
Dunno, you seem to be doing just fine 🤪

Most likely they will say, “Who?”
Zuckerberg thanks you for supporting his empire – not really, he couldn’t care less about you.
Costs me next to nothing. Just as it wouldn’t cost you.
That’s because you are facebook’s stock in trade, like every other chump on there. .How do you think Zuck got so rich. Hint: it was not from benefiting humanity. It was benefiting the deep state.
I benefited the deep state how. Remembering that they already know virtually everything that there is to know about you and more that you don’t even know.
That in fact you can’t escape it. Trying to fly under the surveillance is more than likely to be regarded as more suspicious. which bit of the deep state do you spy for?
Perhaps I
could point out, yes the main rail line was out in the top of the South Island but the ferries were running so the distribution was handled by many, many trucks. They travelled through the Inland Route / Lewis Pass which came under a lot of pressure. It certainly changed the dynamics of the small towns on the routes. I remember at the time a commentator on Whale Oil who was involved at the top of the Transport Industry stating how the who distribution system was just hanging on a thread.
I wonder why our coastal shipping is not utilised to a greater degree – but then again I am not involved in any way – or an Expert in these matters like V………….
Mate, do ya always carry ta missus around like that? 🤷🏻
…..”I wonder why our coastal shipping is not utilised to a greater degree”……
The excesses of the maritime unions. For so long as the people who make decisions can still remember NZ being held to ransom over a faulty toaster sea transport will be avoided.
Coastal shipping is supposedly the most environmentally friendly transport method, too.
But too slow and stuck with ports, unlike the old days when they used the beaches, with good and bad results.
And it involves wharfs and cranes and wharfies and seamen’s unions.
Some is still done that way, carrying full containers to Tauranga from other ports like Tinaru.
Where is Tinaru
One away from Timaru.
I thought he might be getting his tinnies posted from there .

A Short : Stop Co-Governance : Julian Batchelor
So the “ti titty” has been re-worked into a “living” change, by ignoring the original English draft “The Littlewood Treaty”, James Busby’s Final English Draft that was translated very accurately to maori for those times.
https://treatyofwaitangi.net.nz/ReadtheTreaty.html
The meaning and intent of the Treaty is clearly apparent in the English source document.
This means that there is no need for the Waitangi Tribunal to interpret the treaty for us.
No reason for the “He Puapua Report” which is to bring about actions of compliance to the UNDRIP ‘Declaration of Rights for Indigenous Peoples” under the auspices of the marxist UN & those “special rapporters” that drive for global sovereignty under WEF guidelines of ESG Environment, Sustainable Governance to bring about DEI Diversity Equity Inclusion, with the twist of Indignous.
Yet the unratified He Puapua strongly continues with this Tri-Coalition government.
So will there be a good voter turnout in the Regional & District Councils, and knowing what it is all about.?
Yep, it is far too late. The undoing of Democracy is well underway and currently Nude Nut is working hard to ensure it picks up speed.
I guess before I die, I will see the Tribal Elite and Tribal Rule dominate. When it all comes to fruition the struggling man in the street will still be downtrodden. What could be better, for Maori by Maori, aided and abetted by the Central Government Politicians, Local Government Politicians and the Bureaucrats assisting them. It all seems to be working out well, just as they planned.
I wonder how much St John’s lost in donations with their name change?
Sovereign Man James Hickman thoughts on the Epstein circus. Seems to make sense.
“If Epstein was working with US intelligence, the implications are beyond horrifying.
We’re talking about the federal government—funded by your tax dollars—knowingly enabling a long-term blackmail operation built on the exploitation of children.
If they admit Epstein was one of theirs, they’d be admitting that senior officials knew what he was doing, who he was abusing. They let it happen, and they used it as a tool of statecraft.
That kind of admission would light a match to the powder keg that is American distrust in government. And they know it.
There’s also the possibility, that Epstein worked for a foreign intelligence service— and the US intelligence and law enforcement establishment didn’t even realize it.
Which would mean the entire US intelligence community—the CIA, FBI, DOJ, NSA—missed the fact that a foreign service was running a massive blackmail operation on US soil, targeting US officials, abusing children… and they did nothing about it.
That’s not just a failure. That’s catastrophic incompetence.
And their motivation to cover that up would be similar to the UK “Grooming Gangs” cover-up that I recently wrote about.
Or perhaps, did the Trump administration look at what Epstein had and decide to weaponize it for national leverage?
Maybe the files are being used to squeeze foreign leaders into signing trade deals, backing US policy, or bending the knee on global negotiations. That kind of leverage could be seen as a strategic asset in the cold calculus of geopolitics.
But if that’s the play, then I’d expect the President to level with the American public. If you’re going to make the morally repugnant decision to use evidence of unspeakable crimes as a tool of statecraft rather than bring the perpetrators to justice, then admit it. Own it.” (Abridged)
Japan is facing a general election of its House of Counsellers in a few days. Some fear that the winds of popularism will fan the flames of xenophobia against foreigners working in Japan.
Last month in Tokyo I noticed many more Indians and Southeast Asians working in convenience stores and bars. Many Japanese may complain that these foreigners are “taking jobs away from Japanese.” (Jobs that the locals can’t be bothered doing.)
The trouble with having a very strong sense of cultural and national identity is that you may be less accepting of “outsiders.” (Look at the iwi and various Maori groups. I am sure that they do not welcome those outside their in-group.)
To be fair, it is basic human nature that birds of a feather flock together, but what are you to do when there is a severe labor shortage?
…..”but what are you to do when there is a severe labor shortage?”…..
Follow the rule of supply & demand. IOW offer a decent wage & people will queue to sign up for the work.
This is the issue NZ refuses to address. Benefits should always be well below the minimum wage.
Life dragged me to Auckland twice recently.
Had brekky harbourside yesterday and when I expressed surprise the server remembered how I like my drink, they said they remembered me from 10 days ago and proceeded to relate the entire earlier order for me and my companion.

“Te Pāti Māori has again failed to file its audited financial statements on time, despite being formally warned by police last year.”
Must be having trouble plugging some holes.
Possibly it is because I am a retired beancounter that I am one of the few who know how serious this matter is. Much talk has been heard about accountability but the Tangata Whenua feel that is a colonial construct.
Why those lawless bludgers continue to get taxpayer funded airfares; it leaves me bewildered.

“Seymour signed off his letter: “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.”
Wasn’t seeless the acting pm at the time so can do whatever he wants .
Which again underscores that Deputy PM is meaningless,
esp. when the Deputy is in a different party.
Ye, he was. So it would be OK for the PM to write such a letter but not the Acting PM. But there again, the current PM would be quaking in his boots if he had to draft such a letter.
Worse, he doesn’t believe it himself.
Like all shortman bullies, that’s what he does. Plays the bully.
Once again Luxon can’t read a room.
Once again Luxtard opens his mouth and puts both feet in it.
Hmm, not really. All he said was that it should have come from Winston, not that what was said was in any way wrong. He even went as far as to say:
“ All of us in government can read the letter and say, hey, it’s total bunkum.”
Saying nothing would have been a better move.
He’s doing what he should be and maintaining discipline – with a very light hand.
Pity he doesn’t back his MPs when they’re under attack, though.
Absolutely correct FJA, Luxon never backs his MP’s just ask Maureen Pugh or Andrew Bayly or Melissa Lee. I guess when you are a small time Corporal trying to act as I Field Marshall, it shows.
But,but he sold hair shampoo!

An open letter to a NZEI Professional Education Adviser that probably is heavily involved with Education Ministry.
You may not call yourself a Marxist, but your educational philosophy fits squarely within the neo-Marxist framework.
It divides children by race. It downplays objective achievement. It politicises learning.
Worse, it sneaks spirituality into ECE (Early Childhood Education) and primary schools by disguising it as culture. …..

Those who brainwash our grandchildren today watched the churches of yesterday push their crap into children via school prayers, hymns & teaching the acceptance of guilt for the crime of existence. They learnt well.

I heard Pat Buchanon > talking shit on newstalk with Duplessis allen this morning . He reckons over 1mil Russian casualties (KIA) I thought bullshit so I asked Grok. This is the very lengthy response. I suspect it is in the order of 120000 or there about.
“Estimating the number of Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion began on February 24, 2022, is challenging due to conflicting reports, limited official data, and the fog of war. Various sources provide different figures, and none can be verified with absolute certainty. Below, I summarize the available estimates from credible sources, critically assessing their reliability:
Critical Analysis:
Best Estimate: Based on the most rigorous sources (Mediazona, Meduza, Western intelligence), a conservative estimate suggests 120,000–150,000 Russian soldiers killed by mid-2025, with a possible range of 100,000–200,000. Higher figures (e.g., Ukraine’s 1 million) are likely inflated, while Russian official numbers are implausibly low. The true number is almost certainly higher than confirmed counts due to unreported deaths and bodies left on the battlefield.
Conclusion: While precise figures are impossible, the death toll is staggering, likely making this Russia’s deadliest conflict since World War II. For the most reliable updates, refer to sources like Mediazona or Western intelligence reports, but treat all numbers with skepticism due to the lack of transparent, verifiable data.”

Widespread condemnation as masked man issues anti-Israel threats
https://youtu.be/eP8Ro-nBbeg
2 mins 30 secs : 14th July 2025 : | 7NEWS
A chilling video has been posted online showing a masked figure issuing a string of anti-Israel threats.
In the clip, the person claims responsibility for a firebombing at a Greensborough business and warns of further attacks.
Is it idle hoax, or are “sleeper cells” to take up that call?
Then deemed a “false flag” of a threat?
That is who made that “Abo” flag in that clip?
Why does a country import “cultural wars” from overseas? as said by Chloe Swarbrick & those imported Greens.
starving artist and nasska are now signing up to be cake testers at shared lunches…
https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360758273/investigation-under-way-after-cannabis-cake-taken-staff-lunch-hospital
awsome, thats fucking gold. i wonder if the cake bringer knew it was special of if their partner baked a cake and they taxed it in a last minute “oh fuck i forgot” moment.
and pffffft “2 people fell ill” fucking pussies, unless they were fat fucks that hogged the cake they shouldve just enjoyed it and not be so pathetic.
Not bothering to be out of it myself, but saying that I’ve seen plenty who have, and unless they imbibed other stuff like alcohol, I’ve never seen anyone ill from it.
has anyone?
Never. People get the munchies & end up talking shit but I’m still waiting to see anyone ill solely from the effect of dope.
Used with alcohol or as a soft landing after a meth binge is a whole different story.
nah ive seen a few “green out” i guess that could be classed as ill but as i mentioned theyd needed to be fat fucks and smash a good chunk of the cake.
to be any decent of a hit one wouldve tasted it… so they more then likely knew what they were eating so made the most of it. maybe they were “ill” so they didnt get in the shit?
It’s okay. From the article:
….”Brown told media at Parliament on Tuesday the staff involved were administrative staff.”…..
It’s not as if they actually do anything. They’re only there to shuffle paper, fill up the pay roll & divert funding away from the coalface.

Christopher Luxon tells off David Seymour over letter to United Nations
“The UN letter was a total waste of time”
So Luxon is up rating the UN, to be worthy of only a “Foreign Minister” reply.
When that letter was written by a UN trained minion with content that directly related to David Seymour’s regulatory bill.
Luxon is an idiot. He should stop talking and start listening, but being a super sales manager, he can’t and won’t.
Super salespeople listen to the customers, i.e. us taxpayers. not the pricks he is gifting to. Most of them are either wealthier than the majority of Kiwi’s or are in on the take anyway.

@GMB : Good Morning Britain :
Sea levels in the UK are rising faster than the global average according to a new report from the Met Office, which warns that many coastal parts of the UK could be completely underwater by 2050.

2 mins 30 secs : 14th July,2025 :
Ok I do figure the Storm Surges with the winds & barometric pressures & with Spring Tides can be phenomenal, which is a bit different to “completely under water”.
Many great comments there figuring the sea level changes are shite.
What I figure as some may have heard that this connects to New Zealand too, by the recent news reports too, that aligns NZ media, by the The Oxford Climate Journalism Network (OCJN)
https://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/oxford-climate-journalism-network
All to create Climate Change Fear Porn, to spin into a money deal of Net Zero Carbon Emissions.
I recall a video a while back showing newspaper headlines from all corners of the globe making exactly the same claim. It seems everywhere is rising faster than the global average. Pretty clever trick that.
…..”Sea levels in the UK are rising faster than the global average”……
The water in one side of our goldfish pond is now 100mm deeper at the north end & gravity has been redefined as water is no longer self levelling.
No don’t bother checking. A climate scam expert told me it’s to be expected because CO2 is increasing so it must be true.
No no can’t be true. Young beef has a lower carbon footprint than soy based protein.

it may well do but its shit eating, while its tender it lacks intramuscular fat and flavour. plus its a poor return on meat yeild but if people are gunna be willing to pay and theres a market for it then go hard, myself and many other farmers wont say no to selling early if the price is reasonable.
personally i thing the best beef is 3-3½yr old grass fed beef, weve done a fair bit of experimenting over the years and the meat completely changes after 2yrs old when its normally killed. flavour, texture, fat etc it all improves big time with added bonus of bigger yield.
The greeks and italians in aussie eat a lot of 11 month old cattle straight of the mothers.
Ray Chung is a complete bimbo and unsuitable to be mayor of wellington.
that of course has not stopped the last 4 mayors,
so there we are!!
He is naive and vis a vis Angry little he is a mouse against a hyena

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a79cJmeH2Yg
10 mins of an interview with Shorn Plunket and he repeatedly waffles and shows A grade bimboness
He sent out an email to 3 other councilors he barely knew and weeks into the job and he was repeating third hand drivel he heard from a man in the street about a hook up.
Sure he claims it was his neighbour and the hook up dude was the son, who in fact is /was also his neighbour- at that time.
He will not win and his daftness has handed the mayoralty to Little
a person we know to be incompetent
by the sound of it Chung would NOT know.
Clueless Chung did not even know who David Fisher of the horrid is when Fisher rang him.
If he became mayor – no chance of that – he would stand alone and be a lame duck from day 1.
He only gets 1 vote on council. the rest is prancing and dancing and cutting ribbons ….with no actual power.
The Dick, Hubbard found that out in Auckland in 2004. Lame duck.
Chung has barely been in council and was cellar dweller i.e. last candidate in 2019 at 6% for a council seat.
an example of his dumbshit policy ???

The key promise made by the group is that they will not increase rates in the following term, if elected.
As of April 2025, the group had yet to decide what would be cut to achieve this.
Talking to RNZ’s Morning Report in June, Chung was not yet firm on what would be cut,
only stressing that it would not be essential services.
He mentioned cutting council payroll, saying he had “no idea what a lot of these people do.”
Chung himself would personally campaign against the Golden Mile project

NOT A FKING CLUE
He has sunk himself . May as well take a holiday,
Nicola Young is right now and she will probably be deputy mayor to Little.
What an own goal
No room for nice guys in the bear pit.
A few corrections there howitis. He has known the three people he sent to email to for a long time, before he got onto Council. But yes he now admits he should not have sent it.
So what if did not know Fisher. He probably doesn’t read the rag from Auckalnd.
He is in the minority (center right side) in the present Council so he is hardly going to get much going when confronted by Labour/Green faction. Whanau hardly spoke to the other side.
There are several Councillors who got in by a very few votes.
You would have to be an idiot to come out, at this early stage, and list the cuts you are going to make.
But they have come out with 6 key measures against which decisions would be made against. They give a good idea where they will be looking to make cuts
He has no kdea what some staff are doing because there so many in some areas –30 on climate change, 50+ communications etc.. tThat is why he doesn’t know what they are doing.
He has more of a clue than you have, thats for sure (I have just come back from one of his meetings he held with his group)
I bear no malice towards Ray Chung.
I have no skin in the game.
However, he has cooked his goose.
it is a vicious world in wellywood (politics generally, wellywood specifically ) and Chung does not have the mongrel to take it on.
You are mud wrestling with pigs.
the likes of Liar little like that shit, literally.
Playing nice does not work .
We saw that 20 years ago with The Dick, Hubbard in Akl.
Chung should at this stage be able to name areas he can make savings otherwise it is BS.
He is on council and can get information.
If he is not getting the info he can make specific LGOIMA requests.
no-one has confirmed candidacy yet and they have 2 weeks to 1 Aug to do so.
I am not the enemy here; just doing proper political analysis from the facts.
Chung’s presentation style is well off.
He is fighting the national lefty biased media.
I mentioned weeks ago on YSB how Nasty they were in 2022.
The sooner Chung gets that the sooner he can make smarter decisions.
I had a big rebuttal written but the fucking website refreshed and lost the lot. But here’s the guts – despite Hole McAnus completely and utterly lying his way through this piece (and I know that fir a fact), he still lets some actual truth out:
1) that it was standing room only (as it was the previous week in Seatoun), and
2) that the bulk of the crowd were enthusiastically supportive.

I think Ray Chung would have to shit himself in public to be less popular than that Little cunt.
I went the Lampton Ward meeting tonight FJA and there more there than at those meetings. A couple of hecklers but the rest were very enthusiatic.
BTW Just read on Good Oil that Bishop and Willis have come supporting Luxon’s comment on the issue. Bishop has endorsed Little even though Little has only announced two minor policies. So Bishop does not know what he is endorsing. All 3 are confirming they are in the wrong party.
Yeah but luxcinda, willyless and get boosted are fucking up the Gnat party so by 2030 they will be in the Right (lefty) party.
johnny keys will be so pleased with them.
Yes, but the feels he is receiving.
agree with you there. Here’s a suggestion.
Go and stand.
You will make a good mayor. seriously.
You know who all the weak and useless are and the pollies whose tits you would need to pull.
Pay and perks are not bad.
Downside: Have to live up the coast a bit to survive.
Paraparaumu is rather nice, as is Otiahanga.
Train there and back. Laptop on the train so you can keep us up with the play.
What ya reckon?
How’s ya paddler, going?
Nah! Wellington would corrupt him. The bright lights along with the lure of of the cheap rentboys & transexuals of Courtenay Place would overwhelm our humble Southland sheepshagger.
We’ve seen it before. They start out ready to clean up the town but end up giving drunken rim jobs under the table of a sordid night club & voting Green.
OH. you wouldn’t out howtis in that category of human would you>
Well maybe??
Perhaps.?
Well, it is possible, and anything is probable.
Your deep state intelligence in the weird world of Welly is possibly correct.
Probably a mate of Carmen’s in his younger days.
Naaska, we should start rumours like that.
Someone might email some councillors and then give it to the press.
absolute muppetry.
wellington had 1 chance to vear away from leftism but the candidate blew it harder then tory in havana bar.
SB , if it all goes against Ray Chung there is one other center right candidate who would be OK , Karl Tiefenbacher
i see spain is doing away with the running of the bulls and instead have released a flood of clack bunt and muslim migrant thugs that the public have to ru. from or else they get the bash.
scummy fucking shit should get loaded onto a big ship and sent to the middle of the ocean and scuttled, every fucking one of the pieces of shit.
So Pharma is pissed .
KiwiRail bans 2500 workers from using sleep meds citing safety concerns
https://www.1news.co.nz/2025/07/15/kiwirail-bans-2500-workers-from-using-sleep-meds-citing-safety-concerns/
Of course, they are not meds. The sooner they are hog tied the better.
Over the counter meds next month.
What can KiwiRail do! Nothing.
Teacher at the covid enquiry.

That’s Lynda Wharton from the Health Forum. Her presentation to the RC was very well done and presented.
Aussie Cops
NSW State
—————
Two cops who kicked and stomped on a naked woman and pepper-sprayed her genitals now face up to 12 years in jail after a judge blasted their ‘gratuitous’ violence.
Nathan Black and Timothy John Trautsch pleaded guilty to assaulting the mentally ill woman during an arrest on January 22, 2023, then sent body-worn footage to a colleague, bragging: ‘We caved her.’
Judge Graham Turnbull told Penrith District Court that the act of pepper-spraying the woman’s was ‘gratuitous cruelty’.
