    • If Whinestone is chucked out this election, It is going to cost the taxpayer a lot of money!
      He will not pay back any money owed. No 158,000, no 320,000, nothing, narda,
      He will dissapear into the wide world on our raxpayer retirement fund.

  1. suns coming out. Let there be sunlight on more of the labour MP’s. Of course the Green shoots must have something to hide as well.

    surely one of them has been indulging in pleasure with a Labour Mp or even a Nat, MP.
    C’mon tell it all!

  3. NZ election 2020: Deceit, integrity problem at core of MPs’ affairs – Chester Borrows
    https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/07/nz-election-2020-deceit-integrity-problem-at-core-of-mps-affairs-chester-borrows.html

    Charlotte Parkhill, a partner in Dentons – Kensington Swan’s employment team – said while workplace relationships are common, Lees-Galloway’s fling with a staffer is problematic given his Workplace Relations portfolio.

    “It is a question of integrity for a minister and the public will be thinking, ‘well if he’s prepared to lie to his wife, he will lie to us’. So it is about the integrity of the Cabinet.

  4. I wonder what today will bring, exciting isn’t it? Fingers X Wine stone will shut the F**k up for once. Despicable man that he is, but David is quick on the uptake so Wine stone or should I say whiskey stone will not get the better of him nor of Judith. Its great to see a worthy opponent getting the better of the nasty little shit for a change. He is so egotistical he doesn’t even realise the damage he is doing.

              They were a plague.

              When you look at what their ‘brothers’ did to the UK in the 1960s and 1970s it is pleasing they did not make the inroads here.

              The Brits went on about Russians when their own commie scum were destroying their own country from within.
              White ants although another word ending in ..nts would do.

              British industry – wiped out in under 20 years.
              That is what they do.
              Undermine the economy to create chaos; only from there can they bring in their messed up ideas.
              No-one sensible would choose communism when things are going well.

              Jeremy Corbyn was an anachronism from that dark past.

              • You nailed it. Most of them were third grade “tradesmen” who came over as “two pound poms” in the 50s & 60s.

                They knew nothing, wouldn’t work in an iron lung & were determined to recreate NZ in the image of the hell they had left. Just like another more recent wave of this time religious immigrants are trying to do now.

                    I have met Eng. some guys who have come here with the English girlfriend and they love the outdoor life and ready access to sport, the ocean etc.
                    However in many cases the woman with them moans and carries on, and whinges and whines about…

              – Native Engish speaking?
              – Pro-business?

              • Some of the best immigrants to NZ of the era were Dutch & Polish who left a Europe destroyed by war with only a few personal possessions & ambition. Generally they struggled with the language but their entrepreneurial spirit & work ethic made them highly successful.

                Personally, I grew up with more than a few of their children & I can’t think of any failures from that generation either.

              • Re Nasska comment.
                there was a wave of the Dutch after the massive flooding in 1953.
                The North Sea went over the dykes and seawall.
                Huge devastation.
                It also affected UK.
                2000 deaths in Netherlands.

                I’ll bet the media then did not call it a 1 in 500 year flood or such crapola.

                Also we got some Hungarians here after the 1956 uprising and crackdown.
                I had one as a swim coach. Nice chap. More engaging with children than the button down English stock.

                The funny thing was a lot of Poms moved here circa the 1960s but still had rellies mail out clothing, shoes and comic books.
                Let it go.

    • I think that would apply to a fair proportion of Uni grads – esp in the wrong areas.
      Eg Gender studies, Art History, Anthropology, and so on.
      Many had to retrain but the debt was still there.

      The irony of the student loan scheme (a US/Chicago School idea) was that it created a surplus of Grads (downward pressure n wages) and put them into debt at the beginning of their adulthood.
      So not only did it give access to tertiary for more than it did without loans, it meant more were in debt from early on.
      This creates a more compliant society. It was not an accident.

  6. PM’s $100m Southland recovery package scuppered by NZ First
    https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/pms-100m-southland-recovery-package-scuppered-nz-first

    Tensions have been building as the election approaches with New Zealand First lining up to fight for its survival.

    RNZ understands there was back and forth between ministers about a roughly $100m package for Southland, focussed on job creation.

    But Peters denies that.

    “No, there was no discussion of a financial package for Southland last week – full stop,” he told RNZ.

    He did, however, reveal he told Ardern she was travelling to Southland on behalf of the Labour Party, not the coalition Government.

    By last night she had dramatically changed her tune and was desperately trying to defend her beloved Labour Party with words like ‘Consenting Adults’ etc etc

  8. NZ lucky Government doesn’t have a ‘totalitarian bent’ in wake of COVID-19 response – report
    https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/07/nz-lucky-government-doesn-t-have-a-totalitarian-bent-in-wake-of-covid-19-response-report.html

    “We’re actually really fortunate that we had the leadership that we had, but the security of democratic freedoms that we take for granted can’t just rely on the goodwill of whoever’s in power… As a nation, we got lucky – international history and experience shows that expanded Government power could have been extended or exploited if we had leaders with a more totalitarian bent.

    “However, our constitutional defence against the misuse of power cannot depend on the goodness of our politicians’ intent.”

    Then-Leader of the Opposition Simon Bridges in May said it was “inevitable” there would be an inquiry.

    “I don’t think there’s a way that we couldn’t at the end of this have a serious independent inquiry.

    “You see that windmill on that hill? I swear to you, I built that entire windmill all by myself. But do folks call me Dylan the Mill Builder? No.”

  10. I read this name a lot in connection to the death of Maori children: “Oranga Tamariki”.
    Is this a Maori program targeting Maori children?

    It seems a bit exclusive to name a government department for a particular segment of the population, even if they make up a significant proportion of the “clients.”

    What is the official English name of Oranga Tamariki?
    (It makes as much sense as a UK ministry having an Celtic name.)

    As a fundraising campaign launched a fortnight ago gathers steam, the investigation on behalf of Scott Guy’s widow Kylee is winding back into action and already new leads are being uncovered.

    “We’ve had some good phone calls. It’s been quite interesting.

    “It’s all potentially relevant to the investigation, and new information too. We’re getting stuff that we’ve never heard before.”

    The team had “close to 150 actions”, or lines of inquiry, to follow. It was waiting to see how much money would be raised as it began swinging back into action.

      • The NZ cops are completely shithouse at catching murderers.
        Their use of jail house snitches is OTT.

        They wont back down from their errors.
        Their behaviour when it was clear to anyone with an IQ better than Forrest Gump that Teina Pora did not murder Susan burdett.
        Pora had FAS. He was very damaged.
        The cops were lazy and stupid.
        Interesting that S Burdetts brother was a serving cop at the time.
        Also, that Ewen McDonalds brother was a serving cop at the time of the trial re S. Guy.

        The rotten cops never apologised to Peter Ellis. He died of cancer last year.
        How much did the stress contribute to that?
        Gutless pigs.
        Stupid and lazy.
        The courts- with so many dud judges – don’t help.

  15. Why the emphasis on ‘feels’?

    Mark Richardson ‘feels’ for Iain Lees-Galloway after 12-month relationship with staffer revelations
    https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/07/mark-richardson-feels-for-iain-lees-galloway-after-12-month-relationship-with-staffer-revelations.html

    Mark Richardson has expressed his sympathy for Labour’s Iain Lees-Galloway after it was revealed on Wednesday the MP had a 12-month relationship with a former staffer.

    But Richardson, co-host of The AM Show, says other people are casting their own morality over others and are deciding what their morals should be.

    “Against the law is against the law, but this is just a moral debate and I sort of feel for Iain Lees-Galloway to a certain extent,” he said on Thursday.

    And friends, a sorry sight it was. At a guess it would have been new in 1980 but now, too old & dilapidated for a school run it has been towed out of the wreckers, wrapped in black film, crash started & sent on its way.

    The party’s fucked, its leader has lost the plot & I doubt that the signature bus will make it over the Bombay Hills. How the mighty have fallen. 🙂

    Why the latest Falloon, Lees-Galloway Parliament sex scandals differ from what’s come before
    https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/07/why-the-latest-falloon-lees-galloway-parliament-affairs-differ-from-previous-political-sex-scandals.html

    The latest Parliamentary sex scandals have “opened the floodgates” on what’s appropriate to be discussed publicly, two experienced political journalists claim.

    O’Brien told The AM Show on Thursday that recent incidents appear to have changed the goalposts on what’s deemed acceptable public discourse.

    “It’s been really interesting talking to people around this place [Parliament] – veteran journalists, people who’ve been around for a lot longer than I have – and they feel like this has opened the floodgates,” she explained.

    “What was once out of bounds is now in bounds, and people might start talking about things that perhaps weren’t discussed in the Parliament or weren’t part of the public discourse before. This has changed all of that.

  21. The Pope was arguing with an Atheist about the existence of God and failing to get his point across. They had been arguing for two hours and finally the Pope in frustration sat down.

    “Listen,” said the Pope, “You are like a man in a dark room, with no lights and windows, wearing a blindfold looking for a black cat that isn’t there. What do you say to that?”

    The Atheist thought for a moment.

    “Yes your Holiness, you are probably right,” he said, “but you are also like a man in a dark room, with no lights and windows, wearing a blindfold looking for a black cat that isn’t there. The only difference is, you have found the cat.”

  23. Who? “Five flight crew members wearing masks and suits”

    Private jet leaves Christchurch under cover of darkness after picking up two mystery passengers
    https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/news/122219597/private-jet-leaves-christchurch-under-cover-of-darkness-after-picking-up-two-mystery-passengers

    A private jet which landed in Christchurch to pick up two mystery passengers has left the country under the cover of darkness.

    Five flight crew members wearing masks and suits were onboard the Bombardier Global Express twin-jet when it touched down at Christchurch Airport at 3.20pm on Tuesday. The aircraft had stopped in San Jose in California before heading to Honolulu in Hawaii, and then Christchurch, according to flight tracking software.

    It left Christchurch Airport at 6.36am on Thursday, heading for Honolulu in Hawaii. It was then scheduled to travel to Los Angeles, then to the small island of Bermuda in the North Atlantic Ocean before landing in Washington DC.

  24. Stuff understands Lees-Galloway and the woman met for a romantic rendezvous in Paris in January, while he was in the city on official Government business. According to a source close to one of the parties, he paid for her flights and hotel.

    So far, there has been no evidence to suggest that it didn’t come out of his own pocket.

    Stuff requested a breakdown of Lees-Galloway’s expenses for January 2020 from DIA and also asked Ardern if she was aware.

    A spokesman for Ardern said she had sufficient information to make her decision and should any further information come to light after the probe it would simply prove her decision was correct.

    Lees-Galloway has been asked for comment.

Paying for your girlfriend to join you in Paris is a bit elitist for the average voter especially if the taxpayer is paying. Not a vote catcher.

  25. Fail Phil is off on another bullshit journey. Days before an election he wants to bulldoze councils and ratepayers with new planning rules.
    Urban Development Minister Phil Twyford’s National Policy Statement on Urban Development, quietly released on Thursday, aims to increase the density of housing in urban centres by setting rules for planning decisions made by local councils.

    The overall intention of the plan is to dramatically increase housing development in urban areas – particularly housing that is very close to public transport.
    In all “tier 1” cities – Auckland, Wellington, Tauranga, Christchurch, and Hamilton – councils would not be able to set building height limits of less than six storeys in city centres.

    ( Now in Tauranga the ground to support such structures is very limited. and where it is is not where the work is. Surely we should build where the work is.)

    In all urban areas with more than 10,000 people, district plans will not be allowed to include minimum car parking requirements, other than for accessible carparks.

    The Policy Statement comes into effect on 20 August but councils have a run in-time to implement any changes. Car parking changes must come into effect by February 2022, while storey-height changes will come into effect no later than August 2022.
    National’s infrastructure spokesman Chris Bishop said the party supported removing the minimum carpark requirement.

    “National supports removing mandatory minimum carpark requirements. We have concerns over the relatively quick lead-in time before the rules come into effect and also over accessibility for people who do genuinely need car parks.”
