Like I said the other day “so woke it’s painful.”
i thought memes were jokes not the truth.
Golly I still think she looks hot in a suit. What a marvelous young lady.
a) Not hot
b) Not marvelous
c) Not young
d) Not a lady
e) All of the above ✔️
Probably Not Human either.
Is that Cindy with a Moustache? It looks like she did not shave when she got out of bed. Lazy at work, lazy at home.
That’s just Cindy being a trendsetter, that Chloe look is so in these days in leftist circles. All she needs is a beret like Oriinis and a tea towel and she’ll be primed for the ultimate come back
Yes but if she came back, Sausagekins would throw his toys out of the cot and run away! Bring it on!

Melissa is a nice person from a nice family.
The reality is that there are a lot in her tribe that would be described the same way by many. Had some in our street on Friday last week in the middle of the afternoon. Yelling and screaming 13-14-year-olds threatening people and threatening to damage cars. Got a video of them. Might send it to her.
Still waiting for the police to come the 2oo meters from their afternoon tea room to the next street.
Anyway, there’s always more for the White Kiwi to do.
You can now go and hide in your hay bale for the day and remember we are watching.

$800 million dollar project to remove level crossings underway | Herald NOW
Auckland Transport Chief Executive Dean Kimpton speaks with Ryan Bridge about removing level crossings in Auckland to improve safety, remove congestion and free up roads.
That is $800 million for 8 level crossings. $100 million per level crossing. What the actual fuck????
5mil for the overpasses, 2mil to consultants, 2 mil to traffic management rort and 91million koha to protect the project from taniwha attacks.
How much for the opening ceremonies and koha?
that will be part/most of the 180% cost blowout theyll no doubt have
Lower Hutt built rail overpasses from the 1930s to the 1950s starting when there were less than 500 cars in the city .
They had foresight.
M.O.W. at work
before all the H+S horseshit and near zero productivity.
8 overpasses for $800 mill
$100 mill each
Auckland Transport Chief Executive Dean Kimpton is a fuckwit
disconnected from reality .
Auckland transport have had 8 years to build a 2 mile rail line with modern drilling gear , triple the budget and they still are not finished .
Closed Mt Eden Station for 8 years so majorly disrupted train usage .
Half the rail lines of Auckland was closed for all 2023
If school kids start a fight on the trains, the train system shuts down
This encourages rail how exactly ??

You and your ideas would be a shoo in surely, and think of the money.

Buying bacon in 2027
Beware of calling out for a full English Breakfast in certain suburbs in the UK, as the police would arrest one.
Have you noticed that most of the bacon sold in NZ Supermarkets now is sourced from overseas predominately Europe. What is happening to NZ pork? Never mind I’m sure they’ll only be importing nice organically raised pork for their NZ consumers///
myself and mrs sb were going to purchase a pig farm when we left dairy industry.
the then upcoming changes ment significant new investment and upgrades with zero increase in pork price, higher feed costs and more animal activists trying their hardest to destroy the industry.
best decision we made was to walk away, we purchased our current property where we now have half a doz breeding sows aswell as many other animals.
at the time we were looking to buy it was canadian pork flooding the nz market, they have subsidies and also far less rules and regs so they could massively undercut nz producers.
grain price is now more than double what it was back then aswell with very little increase in pork price at the works so its very hard to be profitable.
This all turned around circa 2008 when that mad maori (partly) Mike King turned on NZ Pork Board.
He had collected years of promotional fees for pork .
Then suddenly found jesus and decided Pork was bad
so openly. loudly turned on NZ Pork
not on overseas Pork of course.
Not that clever.
This public turnaround meant NZ Pork went from near 60% local production to near 60% foreign import in about 3 years.
I have not followed the story since then
but have despised turncoat Mike King ever since.
He pocketed the money for years then went all traitor, very loudly, after he made his money
never offered it back, no surprise!!
what a prick.
McIvor fecked nz pork not king.
Note here in this article that much of that pork, bacon probably does not match the requirements placed on NZ farms.
So who is demanding with their agendas, those very high environmental, and animal welfare standards here in New Zealand.
…… the suite of reforms, ranging from freshwater management to rules around highly productive land and infrastructure, pose risks to the viability of pig farming and long-term access to locally grown food. …..
….. increase land use conflicts and gradually squeeze out farming, especially in areas already facing urban and lifestyle block expansion. ….
https://www.farmersweekly.co.nz/news/pig-farmers-concerned-about-rma-reforms/
Two things happen,
1) buy a small block of land next to a piggery, poultry, mushroom farm, then just keep regularly making complaints, like on smells, noise, hours of operation, trucks, health & safety, etc..
When that farm packs it in, sold off to another lifestyler & or more subdivision, the voila, even a greater increase of value to reward the complainers.
2) Higher priced valued land, based on what lifestylers would pay, increased rates. also becomes very costly for the those real farmers.
And the areas most affected are those with the best & most fertile land. Towns & ports were established to service farms & the better the farms the larger the towns grew until they were cities.
Repeat for 150 years & we have your scenario. Repeat for another 150 years & the arable land will have been polluted & covered with concrete. Agriculture will be confined to the hill country.
Isn’t growth for the sake of growth wonderful? /////
If it’s any consolation, New Zealand is not the only place where annoying ”native” names are being forced on everything:

Wait a minute!
(There are no new schools in rural Japan due to the crashing birthrate.)
Convert schools to old geezer homes .

That’ll be you.
What to do with the millions of senile elderly who require constant care is a growing problem for the Japanese state.

German tennis legend Boris Becker believes Daniil Medvedev should seek “professional help” after the Russian crashed out of the US Open following the latest in a long line of spectacular on-court meltdowns.

In October 2002, the Munich District Court gave Becker a suspended two-year prison sentence for tax evasion.
He declared bankruptcy in the UK in 2017.
In April 2022, he was sentenced by UK courts to two and a half years in prison for hiding assets and loans that the court required him to disclose to creditors and the bankruptcy trustee.
On 15 December 2022, he was released from prison early, having served eight months, and was deported to Germany by UK authorities

Holyekatuiteka at https://x.com/2ETEKA/status/1959067491654934611? is not as one with National’s latest Trojan horse ie. digital drivers’ licences. He notes correctly, that the measure is “for centralised state surveillance and control”.
#. “They say it will be optional, but in time in won’t be. Everyone is being added to the digital ledger for control, they’ll get you with new Passports, digital money, to be able to use the internet, probably voting – all of us will be loaded on the Gates/UN backed control grid. ”

Resist where you can!
When they bring this in, I hope we are all given a choice of what phone we want the Government to provide for us. I’m holding out for a pink one.
I’m certainly not putting any of that on my current phone, it’s only used for texts (rarely) and calls (even rarer).
Now certain banks want to put the access to your bank accounts, your money, to be accessed via somewhatever “app” on your phone.
What can go wrong when on the same phone is your Drivers licence, so often used as ID.
Then it will give another reason, another target for the hackers to gain access which will be even better than “Home Title Theft”.
This is getting so bad that like in the USA others can hack & appropriate the title to your house & land.
That is called “Home Title Theft”.
The real hackers, the insurance companies then provide protection, after telling you that “you have a nice tidy home here”.
How ever if the hackers can in one instance fool the banks, or others, then it is easy to complete a full clean get away with your funds by the time you figure something is missing from your accounts.
A house as debated does not do a “get away” though things could get costly in proving a point, that just who is the real titled owner.
And some bank has to accept that they were defrauded by granting some increase, or another mortgage, which they will push to the best of their ability, by testing to be paid back in full.
And of course bank insurance, would be pushing for that test, as also baliffs.
The Greerton Guru supports youth rates.
Mmmm
My nephew in Australia is at University and has worked at a super market since he was at school; aged 17.
He turns 20 to tomorrow.
His employer has dismissed him -by text- as he will be too expensive and can be replaced by a cheaper 17 year old.
Youth rates. not always a winner.
Time for him to move up to a bigger job and let another kid have a start.
aw hell now youll trigger our resident slave owner/terrible wage payer/ youth rate spruiker… he looooves to underpay people esp youths.
You know that how?
As usual, your mouth is bigger than your brain.

A text message from some corporate head quarters of Human Personnel Relations Department;
whoops, now upgraded to “Human Resources”, with all respect to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.
How else can they justify that department and their reasons to be, if not seen to be ably trimming costs, so as to pay for their bonuses & increased salary.
See proven productivity, no wasting time, just a text, “You have won a DCM”.
Never mind, with the young’uns developing into University, with respect to mandated,Indigneous, Feminity, Trans, DEI courses along side whatever else they study, they too, will achieve their “equity” of jobs & income & with their experience will further increase productivity.
See just how sustainable that “Human Resources Department” as it maintains the cycle.
Youth rates? why not immigrant rates?
Organizers in NZ of those visas, & know how to make it work & more than pocket the difference.
Saudi Arabia, Qutar, etc., are exemplary in knowing how to make it work.
Has Albanese, Luxon figured that out? Not quite, as when worn out, those workers are sent back to their home-country.

obviously cost of living and the butter price obsession has been one of his gripes as of late and he just loves to play victim and make himself out to be a downtrodden and underpaid kiwi abused by greedy farmers and landlords…
i just watched the same broke butter deprived clown spend $42 at the bakery for lunch, then we had to stop at the dairy to get a drink and ice cream ffs.
always an open box of piss in his ute and at least a pack of cigis a week too. this is how fucking retarded 20yr olds are these days but its the govt and greedy businesses the reason hes always broke.
oh yeah, he drives a near new hilux too, on tick of course. poor didums doing it very tough and in severe poverty cuz tik tok tells him so.
ha ha, just think about what you said and where the money comes from.
A pack of fags a week? Amateur!
I did two a day for years before I saw the light. Enough tax on that to well and truly cover my own healthcare bill.
vapes aswell to save money on cigis.
A friend plotted international vs local butter price, allowing for exchange rate as the international was in USD.
Most of the time we followed the international price. Surprisingly, sometimes we were much lower.
Butter in Japan is about 300 to 500 yen per 100 g ($NZ3.48 to $5.80) due to the protection of the Japanese dairy industry (a big deal in Hokkaido).
‘Bout 20 bucks for 500 grams
Willyless would do her nut over that !

Question for SB and the other rural folk on here. With Fonterra selling their brands business for a few billion, how much of that goes back to the shareholders? just heard Jamie McKay talking about the big boost to rural business it will be. I hope it does, but surely shareholders do not get most of it. There has to be other financial reasons for the sale.
good thing imo as long as the deal states fonterra are to be sole suppliers to them.
fonterra have sucked big time at any ventures and other businesses, always money losers. the brands side of thing performed ok at best, not a huge return for the capital and risk involved.
fonterra just need to stick to what they do best, bulk dairy products. “value add” is only any good if it generates a decent return otherwise whats the point.
hurrel is a good bastard, knows his shit and knows farmers, hes not some corporate only pos like speirings or our dumb fuck prime minister who just talk bullshit no one understands and delivers nothing but failure.
theyll pay out some as a dividend but they should wisely pay down debt too and keep a sizeable strategic reserve as there will no doubt be an economic shit storm somewhere on the horizon. alot less debt will help that somewhat.
They also did a stupid swap way back at the beginning and got rid of their domestic brands .
As I recall it was forced by the government to split those domestic brands, assets to supposedly stop a monopoly..
To me the issue at the time as a group of us, paid up, put forward an expression of interest to tender on those brands, but Fonterra refused to discuss, so as not allow negotiation or put forward a propersition, as banks were looking to lend, but Fonterra then declare “Sold”
Graeme Hart upped his price, a tad, seeing that there was another and gained domestic brands for his “Goodman Fielders Group”.
Really pissed us off as that showed way back then how hopeless Fonterra was in not getting the top dollar, even if it was not from our group.
Is this the start of the downfall of fongterra?
They are a baseline operation that boils the water out of milk and and puts the resulting powder in brown paper bags to sell to others…. to add value.
Pretty basic.
No bastard deserves a one million dollar salary for that let alone the $40 million paid to Spierings for wrecking the joint.
Still looks like sabotage to me and several future/past Notional MPs were in on that incl Toddy Moo-ller and nikki willyless.
So basic; and worse off than 50 years ago when the Dairy Board handled things.
this was another example of Notional pissing around and not making a decision of the Co-op mergers for years (1997 to 1999) , then along came Liebour and put this together.
A Camel not a horse.
Technically the dairy board still exists inside fonterror , that division is where most of the twats like muller and willis worked.
You forgot to put in the Plug for ClaytonCosgrove of WEF Global Leaders of Tomorrow programme + attendee to Davos
All leveraging to get into Parliament for about 6 terms.
also interested in the answer.
If Fonterror have this cash haul they will fuck it up like everything else;
esp the GROSS Gross wastage of the Spierings years (when willyless was there, learning about wastage and how piss away more)
Spierings. Is he dead yet?
Ah yeah, he is.
Without question, the worst CEO Fonterra has ever had. His chair man wasn’t much better.
Wouldn’t say that about McBride.
The business will be a lot different once this goes through and I see this evening that Bega has agreed to their part in the deal, raising the amount to over 4 billion.
Forsyth Barr analysts give Fonterra’s $4.22b sale of its consumer businesses to French giant Lactalis a big tick and say the price was ahead of their expectations
Dairy co-operative Fonterra’s saying goodbye to some household-name brands, including Anchor and Mainland – but analysts with investment services group Forsyth Barr say it’s going to be better off without them.
Fonterra last week announced the divestment of its consumer and associated businesses (recently styled as Mainland Group) to French dairy giant Lactalis for a price now confirmed to be $4.22 billion. Fonterra’s farmer shareholders – who stand to get a $2 per share tax-free windfall [via a capital return] – will vote on the proposal in either October or November and then the sale is expected to go through in the first half of next year.
https://www.interest.co.nz/rural-news/134896/forsyth-barr-analysts-give-fonterras-422b-sale-its-consumer-businesses-french
Fontera have a plan which they have published.
anyway it’s none of our business really.
Its shareholder-owned company, and they will decide at their meeting in November, I think it is.
The cash will go back to farmers who can rid themselves of debt.
It will make the banks creak a bit with all that being paid back or least a big chunk of it.
SB boss will buy him a new tractor and a new sports car for the missus.
summed up.
“We think [Fonterra ]is a much better business without Mainland Group. While the total possible consideration of ~NZ$4.2b is a large number, we estimate Mainland Group (once adjusting for future Lactalis earnings as a customer) is only 10%–15% of earnings.
“…Fonterra won’t actually change dramatically as a business.
“What remains will be a refreshed focus on the better-performing core Ingredients and Foodservice businesses.
Over the last three years, these have delivered an average ROIC of ~14% (ex Australia) versus Australia and Consumer of ~4%.”
So many ways of how the Western Civilization takes itself down by making so many costly “Human rights & Wrongs”.
The right to Free Health Care, Free accomodation, Food, twisted Education agendas,
Human Rights are big business, lectured by Professors & acadmia, so well amplified by media, where NGO’ find voice & supported by lawyers, the Judiciary Courts, etc..
This article from SPECTATOR.CO.UK / LIONELSHRIVER puts it very well & more.
Haven’t we created a better world, in which everything is free and work is elective?

So when “will the smarter drey horses, pulling the cart, turn around & jump into the hay wagon”.
So far it does not look like the drey horses are going to kick off the free-loaders, lunatics, that are cavorting in the hay wagon.
Where many do not figure that where “The government giveth, the government will taketh away” based on how the goverment seeks & finds power, & further controls.
In the same vein, but more specific to Germany & Europe where so much of social welfare became “human rights” at any price.
Meanwhile, spending on social welfare has exploded, and is set to increase further this year as Germany’s population ages and unemployment rises.
Although the majority of benefit recipients are German, large numbers are non-German citizens.

I could never figure out who (NGOs?) was supplying all the rubber boats and lifejackets in France for the Channel crossing. It must be quite a logistical exercise.

Some of the logistics here.
Some of it explained here by the BBC undercover research.

I posted this in this month, but can not get back to that with further links & comment.
Then do see that BBC did not go further with their investigation and note well how the rubber, inflatable boats are recycled.

BBC -Buggering British Children (ask Lord Mountbatten aka battenburg buggers boys botties; a good friend to Chuck and Savile )
BBC is the enemy of truth.
Loooong has been
Sadly the BBC triggered you so you bought their dummy, & self projected into “botties” etc..
Simples to see the deflection & now the topic change to “botties” & royality which I did not raise. !
Always like the BBC a bit of the truth to help cover up as I showed in the next 2 links.
As I showed it was a coverup to distract, as mention in the next link about the recycling of the inflatables as shown in the next link of “expose-news”.
The point is to deflect from further political noise, being stirred by Andrew Bridgen, who is shunned by all mainstream media & the establishment.
Now to whether on the French side some one can track the trucks & so possibly show the full cycle of those inflatables.
To simplify, one of the questions still remains, which shows-up that the BBC with far greater resources than Ian Simpson, only on a bicycle.
Possibly some other resourceful character meet one of those trucks & track how they recycled those rubber boats, or not.
The once mighty Royal Navy can’t even sink a few rubber boats nowadays.
SA. Just a few sharp pointy knives would at least slow them down, in patch & repair for the next trip?
Somethings does not add up.
In loading the inflatables, fully inflated on that truck, are they going to a market of recycling.
Or a better money spinner where a dealer, snake-head can quickly ascertain, making it a premium, that it is good enough to go over the channel again.?
Perhaps being patched up will make a dealer feel cheated?
Bring doubts to the minds of those refuggee travellers in forking out so much money?.
I was telling a priest about the sad state of our world.

Dr. Kevin Reese suggests that “dementia is linked to statin drugs.”
“Statin drugs came out in 1987… Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia spiked in the 1990s.”
“Now you see it all the time… Why? Because so many people are on statins, which means you’re not getting enough cholesterol, and you need cholesterol for your brain.”
There are likely other contributing factors too but statins are certainly a major one.
Here’s a good summary-

At https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/national/law-student-wins-court-case-against-auckland-transport-over-speed-bumps/? we are informed of the bloody nose delivered to the anti-car control freaks:
#. “A 20-year-old law student has triumphed over Auckland Transport in court, with a judge ruling that the installation of three speed bumps and a raised pedestrian crossing was unlawful.”
#. “His case centred on the argument that AT focused on speed reduction and safety issues, skipping over the legal requirement to weigh the impact on drivers. The only speed-related crash, resulting in a minor injury, involved a public bus, he told the court.”
#. “Justice Johnstone noted that a report presented to AT’s traffic control committee contained pre-drafted resolutions – described as a “legal boilerplate” in the judgement.”
An all too uncommon instance of judicial common sense. Forcing the authoritarians to justify every bit of nannying they propose is our only defence against being smothered in cotton wool & “kindness”..
Is that clever or are the old foggy dumb as a journalist?
Why couldn’t they do it years ago?
Someone has been using the OIA to expose the politically inspired shenanigans at Health NZ. From https://www.facebook.com/100083428746830/posts/pfbid0PgHr6kxbwf18kSUYhuybZM4aeKWsJvksxUm1FLoTto4XxGM5rzfcyJ3jKaZGnpoTl/?
……””Covid 19 vaccination status and Covid 19 attributed deaths ARE NO LONGER LINKED IN OUR UNDERLYING IT SYSTEM,
therefore Health NZ can only provide data extracted from existing Covid 19 reporting systems, which consider similar parameters to those outlined in your request, until 18 February 2024,
AFTER WHICH VACCINATION STATUS AND COVID 19 DEATHS WERE DE-LINKED
Why on earth would this change be made to the I.T. system?”…….
The author of the post well asks “Why on earth would this change be made to the I.T. system? ”

That was one of things about using experimental phase 3 human trials in the “Helsinki Declaration 1967”, that up dated the “Nuremberg Code” that proper & rigourous monitoring & data was to be kept in place & that information was to be freely available to the participants in the trials.
Eighth revision (2024)
The eighth revision of Helsinki (2024) newly highlights the roles of global inequities in medical research and includes a new statement that scientific integrity “is essential in the conduct of medical research involving human participants. Involved individuals, teams, and organizations must never engage in research misconduct”.

Since there seems to be No legal teeth, no calling to account, it is telling that the ones who pushed this, supposedly claiming a pathway of “good intentions” to gain a function of control, are now covering up, pushing people under the bus on their “pathway to hell”.
The trust in the government & authorities was not great before, but now they sealing it fully to another generation “I am here from the government, here to help you” which proves they have no good intentions, lower than even the ancient thugs.

One of the best things in my life now is youtube music. We really lived through trhe best of times when we were growing up in the 60’s and 70’s.
Between X, YTb and Shazam on my iPhone, not much good music gets missed.
Boss, you should listen to majic. Plays these tunes all day and night.
The 60s & 70s were a great time to be young & for me music was a great part of it. Whatever has & will happen I’ll look back at the era of warm flagon beer, weak pot & Bob Dylan as the best of the best. CSN&Y & the music of Woodstock included.
But my question. Was it the music or the times we associated with it that keeps it playing in our heads?
In your case, the potted music.
Hunter S Thompson put it best:
“Sex, drugs & insanity have always worked for me but I wouldn’t recommend them for everyone.”
Michael Laws rant. Worth a listen

Michael Laws On Why Woke Culture Wars Sabotaged Police Training
“No wonder our police are useless”
I had occasion early Sunday morning to deal with one.
Couldn’t have been more professional. All to do with a company vehicle that was badly damaged.
Like prison warders, if their hands weren’t tied and the judges tossed to tospots into jail more often and for longer, we would all be better off.
I like what Trump is doing, and we should do the same.
Prison should be allowed to put chains on the ankles of those who cause trouble.
You obviously missed the part about the DEI employed in 2022 to run the police training unit with the priority of ‘policing for maori’. He was an “outstanding maori” appointed for his kapahaka, singing and haka abilities. 😏
Nope , just stating my experience not what Laws opinion is.
It may well be true but wasn’t my experience.
Hey Luxon you fuckwit,
Putin doesn’t care whether you agree with him.
Netanyahu doesn’t care if you agree with him.
You can rant and march and virtue signal to your heart’s content.
A little country at the arse end of the world’s opinion is totally irrrelevant.
I just wish some of the people who are so committed to ending all the world’s problems would channel that energy into fixing NZ’s problems, where they might actually be able to make a difference.
I hear that it’s Chloe that Netanyahu fears the most///
Must be those passionate diatribes.

Self-employed New Zealanders make up a growing share of the workforce. But a report by the Retirement Commission and Hnry shows they’re being left behind when it comes to KiwiSaver and retirement
On average over the past three years, 89% of Government KiwiSaver contributions were paid into the KiwiSaver accounts of employees while only 7% were paid into the KiwiSaver accounts of the self-employed.
With more than 420,000 self-employed people in New Zealand, there are concerns that thousands of people could run the risk of retiring financially vulnerable as the self-employed are falling behind when it comes to KiwiSaver.

Is that you?
Another option is to put money into a Mutual fund.
Can’t be raided by the government, and you can withdraw when you want to.
All young people should do that and put a chunk into a high-growth fund.
Soon have enough money for a house. 4-5 years. Stops it from being wasted on booze and cars and wild women for the boys.
With the wages they get it should almost be compulsory.
Kwiwsaver is/was supposed to be for your retirement. Get your own abode, then family, then worry about retiring.
Unless of course you can get into a house that you can use for a rental. Then you won’t sound broke like some here that live in the Masterton swamp.
“Soon have enough money for a house. 4-5 years.”
A house deposit maybe with a large debt to the bank.
my kiwisaver is at zero… dont even have one.
started to sort it a month or so back but i got busy and shits still sitting there to fill out and drag back our aussie super.
waste of time imo, the govt will make a way to raid it in the next decade or 2 plus i honestly dont think ill make retirement age anyways… but id best put something away just in case some miracle happens. i have other investments tho, just never have trusted the kiwislaver thing.
I looked at one for the same reason but it seemed far to fecking complicated to get aussie super into so don’t have one , but the missus has the gold plated teacher scheme .
the dude who sorted my income and life insurance does ks aswell so he/the fund was gunna do all the crap to drag back our aussie super.
Buy some crypto, chuck it in your safe deposit box and forget about it until you retire.
done that a few years ago, although only a few grands worth.
You’ll be surprised how quickly retirement and old age sneaks up on you. If you are an employee and haven’t or can’t arrange extra salary in lieu of Kiwisaver contributions it makes sense to join. It’s certainly no longer worth it for the miserable Govt contribution of $250 a year imo. Please note this is not financial advice.
self employed. part of me thinks im still better off to do my own investments, im mainly gunna do ks so i can drag back my aussie super easily and then i know where it is.
If your self employed the only thing you gain from KS is the Govt $250. Not really sure on the merits of returning aussie super but probably depends on where it is invested, what the fee structure is and whether there are any insurance benefits attached which can whittle away at the balance when your not contributing. Certainly warrants investigating.
That’s true Curious, I can’t believe the working years disappeared so quickly and they seem to pass more quickly each year.
I was late joining KS but have a nice little nest egg to add to my retirement.
Inland revenue doing a great job in failing to collect tax. Maybe the Finance Minister should pay a bit more attention.

I have been through the wringer when IRD added a 10% penalty, then applies a 2% monthly penalty, and that rapidly compounds and some reason of whatever added on another amount.
It was only a small amount to start with, & my new accountant said that I did not have to pay that.
Yet every month he said no sweat, and often told me, not to be stressed.
It had so rapidly gone beyond the point of no return, as the only way out seemed to me, to sell everything up, a liquidation into bankruptcy.
Finally after almost 6 months we won through.
———– ———— ————
So how that tally of how much that debt is, seems to be a figure made up of compounding various so called penalties and call it rising debt?
Government bureaucracies have to justify there salaries and need to justify their hi-salaries.
to have that much gst/tax debt means they were obviously making a decent profit so wtf happened to the money???
too much ticked up/ going out to creditors?
living it up, keeping up with the joneses?
or just poor fucking accounting? but surely a half decent accountant would give their client a heads up theyre in the shit and offer some advice?
id hate to be in any retail or hospo business the past 5yrs, im suprised theres still any left operating tbh as its been a perfect storm of ardern, covid,inflation and now many of their customers have tightened their belts.
If you need to break up with somebody, the best place to do so is McDonalds. There are no plates or glasses to be broken over your head, no sharp knives or spiky forks, plus you can always hide behind a fat kid.
Just dont have paul simons 50 ways to leave your lover as your ring tone while doing it
eating the shit plastic food there is probably the most dangerous outcome.
Buy them a Happy Meal. 🤣

The Iranian regime sharing it’s love with the Aussies. Has Albo actually grown some balls in expelling the Ambassador? Not likely but if he withdraws Australia’s recognition of a Fakeastian state I may be convinced to change my mind.

Iran will be looking for a diversion. Any diversion will do as the religious fruitcakes have led their people into a water crisis:
……”A long lasting drought and severe heat this summer, compounded with government mismanagement of the country’s dams have led to an impending water crisis in Iran. Officials are warning that the approximately ten million residents of the country’s capital,”……
https://www.npr.org/2025/08/18/nx-s1-5506266/a-devastating-drought-in-iran
Look! Look! Over there. A red herring!
Interesting contrast Curious with a bit more context.?
….. Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), …..
…. IRGC was “directing, through a series of cut-outs, people in Australia to undertake these crimes” …..
….. used a “complex web of proxies” to hide its involvement. …..
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/26/australia-accuses-iran-of-directing-antisemitic-attacks-expels-envoy
So one would think that probably 5 Eyes helped flush this out?
Won’t change the 2 state Palestine.
Not that those ‘liberals’ have a clue what it means.
The question will become, what else will the IRGC figure on, in causing further upset. Find another nearby soft touch?
Plenty of other fish to swim amongst in certain mosques.
The US have been expecting retaliation from Iran. Would you take on the US and Trump taking out an Iranian leader or hit a blander allied nation?
Sadly yes, and another ‘blander’ 5 eye country would do as well.
So many invited here, and welcomed.

Terrible news coming from Wellington this evening.
The Victoria Tunnel has just been closed, and the speed limit will be reduced for the foreseeable future to 30kph.
The NZTA found over 200 dead crows on the tunnel approach recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu.
A Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows and has confirmed in their report that the problem was NOT Avian Flu, but rather the cause of death appeared to be from vehicular impacts.
However, during analysis, it was noted that varying colours of paints appeared on the …bird’s beaks and claws.
By analysing these paint residues, it was found that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, while only 2% were killed by cars.
NZTA then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills.
The Ornithological Behaviourist quickly concluded that when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow to warn of danger.
They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout “Cah”, not a single one could shout “truck”
