An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
Only if the whole world are very slow learners. Oh wait.
Nope, just creates a lot of one-eyed people.
A few around here of course. 😆 :lol:.
But you will get your knickers in a twist.
Looks like the aussie govt is going down same road as nz tried with solid energy and canola to diesel project. If they do the same stupid rules where it cant be grown on what is already crop land like we tried here it will be yet another disaster. The only way biofuel actually works is very cheap electricity to do the processing , i’m talking 1 to 2 cents a kilowatt and virtually no transmission charges.
Yep Dougal, Albo is most thick and dense to boot. The man was a fool when I lived there and has now gained more experience and is a greater fool now.
The once “Lucky Country” if Albo has his way, will rapidly, like New Zealand, become the Unlucky Country.

He will import all those Gaza refugees and have them on pedal machines making electricity.
That’s alright he can feed them on bullshit too for free!
Gazans will be busy continuing to fight their 1000 year war to be good Aus citizens for stupid Albo. The productive jews will leave for a start.
Anyone remember the movie Rosemary’s baby? Came out in 1968. A horror movie where the baby turned out to be the Antichrist. I hear they did a remake that nobody talks about in Wellywood in 1978. The titular Rosemary was an up and coming drone working for the people’s republic of the ministry of education. I hear the father was Bill Andersen’s gay brother. Anyway, they somehow managed to consecrate the marriage and produced an evil child named Christopher who had a strange fetish for sausage rolls in every orifice. Anyway, the movie was a total flop but mum and the Antichrist are still with us.
Sister mate.
Thats a bit incestuous.
As a woman passed her daughter’s closed bedroom door, she heard a strange buzzing noise coming from within. Opening the door, she observed her daughter with a vibrator.
Shocked, she asked: ‘what in the world are you doing?’
The daughter replied: ‘mom, I’m thirty-five years old, unmarried, and this thing is about as close as I’ll ever get to a husband. Please, go away and leave me alone.’
The next day, the girl’s father heard the same buzz coming from the other side of the closed bedroom door. Upon entering the room, he observed his daughter making passionate love to her vibrator.
To his query as to what she was doing, the daughter said: ‘dad I’m thirty-five, unmarried, and this thing is about as close as I’ll ever get to a husband. Please, go away and leave me alone.’
A couple days later, the wife came home from a shopping trip, placed the groceries on the kitchen counter, and heard that buzzing noise coming from, of all places, the living room. She entered that area and observed her husband sitting on the couch, downing a cold beer, and staring at the TV.
The vibrator was next to him on the couch, buzzing like crazy. The wife asked: ‘What the #@!* are you doing?’
The husband replied: ‘I’m watching football with my son-in-law.’

I don’t know what all the downticks are about. Yup, even our useless MSM say this is unprecedented.
Can’t help themselves ROL.
It’s a disease of the mind.
Cat lovers.
And why do I say that?
Well, mice get a parasite called toxoplasmosis. It makes the mice unafraid of the cat, so the cat grabs the mouse and eats it.
The cat becomes a host to the parasite, which can then be passed to the cat lovers.
Once they get infested, it makes their minds a bit mad.
Hence, the old saying
Mad cat Ladies, and being non-sexist it would also include men.
Never liked cats.
And is anyone doubts that, Look it up.
Paddy goes to the shoe shop to get a new pair of gumboots. Sales assistant asks what size? Paddy tries a pair on says these are good I’ll take them.
Couple of days later sales assistant sees paddy hobbling along in the street. So he goes up to Paddy asks what is wrong with the new boots? Are they giving you blisters?
Paddy replies no, no they are really comfortable. I just wish they would make the string keeping them together a bit longer!
Bishop Brian on the London Unite The Kingdom Rally the msm have pretended wasn’t much of an achievement. Meanwhile he’s also asked about ‘marvellous’ John Campbell doing a breathless hit piece on him and Brian replies “he really does have a hard on for me”.

Brian Tamaki On Attending The ‘Unite The Kingdom’ Rally In London
lol he didnt even know who invited him or his name.
brian dosent give a fuck about rights and freedom it was all about doing a haka
Brian Tamaki stepped up to organize resistance to the covid tyranny when no one else would. I am not aligned with his religious views, being a devout atheist, but I appreciate what he did during 2021 and attended his rallies.
Yep.
But don’t remind SB he thinks it’s all bullshit.
So was the “fantastic” haka at the reclaim march the Bishops outfit?
did he take the dancing troupe from here, or were they residents?
Brian’s son lead the haka in London at the UTK rally. Brian and his haka were asked to attend by TR who was aware of Brian’s arrest and imprisonment for defying the horse’s covid mandates. Avi Yemini put Tommy in touch with Brian.
Oh dear! The shot cop was a member of the armed offenders squad and a special crime squad. Shows the police were all of a sudden gunning for Tom Phillips and kids!

was there any other way ?
He made them look like dicks
when all they wanted was to make themselves look like dicks
without outside help !!!
Yer! But what difference from day 1, to 4 yrs later, what changed other than he was starting to do robberies. The cops won’t even turn up at the local supermarket. Why pick on him?

This Tamatha who is dressed like a schoolgirl to impress the firefighters?
Wellington NZPFU members had an awesome kōrero with Wellington Central MP Tamatha Paul from the Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand. The challenges firefighters face on a daily basis were openly discussed; including staffing, fleet issues, as well as concerns around the state of fire stations.
We appreciate Tamatha’s time and hope in the very near future this #DireEmergency we face comes to an end.
Thank you to the people of Wellington as well for the support you have shown us to date.
Pictured with Tamatha are NZPFU Wellington Local Secretary Kurt Walsh (left) and Wellington Member Matt Corderoy (right).
Neither of them look like happy guys.
Just being an angry little tosser as usual.
I do love the unread posts been highlighted, can comeback and scroll thru.
Would also be great to have “Recent comments” , even to double the number.
To be on the same page as HYS so when refresh, one can see a “new comment.”
Particularly when the number of comments are getting to be a good tally.
Really user friendly if it is made on another post & from which some one can go to directly.
I know simple reformatting the website can be a head teaser, & sometimes the consequences can drive Ed nuts.
At the moment I click on some one’s profile, as the list of “Recent comments” can be found on the side bar there.
That then becomes my “home page” which I always go back to, to see that “Recent comments” list & do a “refesh” to see the latest comments.
With the short tally it is workable, though when over a short time becomes busy with multiple comments, a series of fast listing of comments.
It does become overwhelmed. so, so,
Then only scrolling through the lot finds that yellow high light “newish or overlooked comment”.
Still Thankful, for small helps & mercies, to become more “user friendly” & more enticing for others to just read, or join to tick up or down, or to more actively comment.
Agree. YSB now has the best layout & features of any blog I’m aware of.
Take a bow Boss!
I heard it being reported that Willis is blaming Ardern’s captain’s call on the Oil and Gas industry for NZ current woes. What a hypocrite. As a proud Blue/Green idiot she was probably cheering Ardern on at the time.
Wrong party

It’s easy when you know how.
At the top of the comments page you see a menu with the following;
On the left;
# of comments-image of a person button.
Over on the right you see the following
A gold lightning icon- most reacted comment
a red icon- hottest comment thread
a dropdown menu with the option to select oldest-newest-most voted.
Using those icons will give you whatever you are looking for.

In this morning’s RCR Bites is a link to https://www.reuters.com/investigations/china-is-sending-its-world-beating-auto-industry-into-tailspin-2025-09-17/ . The article deals with effects of overproduction of EVs in China. Supply vastly exceeds demand.
Yet the takeaway is the inability of the CCP to pick winners. This in a nation where government has unequalled power to dictate the direction its version of private enterprise takes. Government by attempting to select medalists have tanked the property market, stuffed the solar industry & now vehicle manufacturers are heading round the S bend.
#. “They (the problems) stem from government policies that prioritize boosting sales and market share – in service of larger goals for employment and economic growth – over profitability and sustainable competition”.
#. “Vehicle manufacturers in China are driven to keep selling and producing, even at deep losses, because this ensures cash flow, which is crucial to survival,”
So to avoid risking mass layoffs & falling consumer spending the clusterfuck keeps on rolling towards inevitable disaster.
If the most regulated, top driven economy in the world can’t dictate success why do Western governments even try. Their task is provide conditions for private enterprise to succeed then sit back & let the markets work.
Had lunch today with a gentleman who has been to China 18 times in the last few years. Has a son who lives there. He told us a story about a wall being built. He looked at what they were doing and said to his son that it would take a couple of weeks.
Son said, No, it won’t. It’s due to be completed tomorrow, and it was.
Re the car factories.
If you read a bit more widely, you would know that the labour content in their factory is very low.
Like Tesla, for example, they produce a car every 4 minutes, 24 hours a day non stop.
Most of the work is done by industrial robots. So labour isn’t the issue at all.
The problem is created by factories that run 24 hours in the dark.
The yanks are nowhere near that.
Like kiwi’s they want to work 30 hours a week, have lots of holidays and sick days etc. That never creates productivity.
Today I watched the yearly update for our factory programs.
AI has added lots of new dimensions. One commenter I noted said, “Well that’s my job gone”
Yesterday I had a long discussion with a person from the fruit industry in Hawke’s Bay. We talked about picking apples, and he told me that all sorts of machinery have been tried, but still the cheapest way is to employ RSE workers.
Kiwifruit is the same, yet I know a way of reducing the kiwifruit costs by at least 50%.
don’t have the time nor inclination to do it.
you say
…if the most regulated, top driven economy in the world can’t dictate success …
but DO note
in the 2008 GFC driven by fake mortgage lending and other loans to Z grade borrowers, the US economy DID crash and burn.
It was fucked.
It has never actually recovered
It has been QE, QE2 and multi versions (Quantitative easing, money printing ) that has kept it going but its productive base has been wrecked by a variety of self-made events including off-shoring.
This is where Trump stepped into politics to try to fix this,
The US is also a heavily regulated economy with the rules made by politicians on the take from the money men.
Brutally greedy communism vs brutally greedy capitalism are two sides of the same coin.
Has the NZ goo-mint retracted or repealed ANY laws this century ?
in 25 years, a quarter century.
Johnny keys said he would but we know he was shitting us;
same with the brainless bald bitch.
but they have added lots and lots more laws and rules and regs
we are overregulated to kill productivity as we head towards 2030.
…..”its productive base has been wrecked by a variety of self-made events including off-shoring.”…..
As has NZ’s. We used to produce low quality, expensive goods for domestic consumption. Think Crown Lynn Pottery, Trekka vehicles, Atlas stoves, Holeproof stockings. The Douglas years & the removal of tariff protection finished them off.
We gained in quality & choice. We lost far more than we ever thought possible when unemployment became an issue. Manufacturing is an incredible soak pit for unskilled labour. The incredible social costs of generations of high breeding morons knowing nothing but welfare were ignored or downplayed.
…..”Has the NZ goo-mint retracted or repealed ANY laws this century ?”……
If they have then they’ve dodged my radar. But we shouldn’t be surprised. No-one has ever been elected to Parliament who didn’t think one more law wouldn’t fix a problem.
It’s the nature of the beast.
But when you have interventionists in charge, like Wiltless and nudenut selecting “special ” sectors, nothing is going to change. The lure of limitless taxpayer money is just too much for them.
Willis is following the same economic plan of the UK Chancellor of the Exchequor, the socialist bankers plan.
Like the UK where productivity and investment is dropping Willis is busy rubbing the same genie lamp for her three wishes, ‘growth, growth, growth’.
Britain’s November budget is predicted to expose the crisis Rachel Reeve is pretending doesn’t exist and heading to grovel to the IMF.
…Willis is busy rubbing the same genie lamp for her three wishes, ‘growth, growth, growth’….
at no time have the Gnats addressed the core drover = productivity
Their WEF bosses tell them to spout shit and say nothing of productivity.
To be productive one needs a less regulated environment
not waiatas, koha. red tape, endless consulting, DEI, and health and fecking safety
H+S…
if you have to regulate to not be a moron in the workplace (or home) then you are keeping alive people who should kiss the hand of Darwin.
Keeping them alive makes society even more stupid when they breed with other morons to make even more morons. A vicious downward cycle .
and still, 40 years later they whinge about Thatcher.
arold wilson and his union mates did so much damage in the 1960s
Hitler would have been turning in his grave going,
ah crap, is that all it took ?
Back in the 1960s they had a production base to destroy , not they don’t even have that in UK.
An economist says the finance minister has not been a responsible manager for the country’s finances.
But Nicola Willis is shrugging off calls to resign, saying Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has confidence in her and the plan to revive the economy.
And at a media briefing on Friday, Luxon threw his full backing behind Willis to carry on as minister of economic growth.
“I don’t think there’s a single New Zealander that could do a better job than Nicola Willis,” he said.

What/ Real music, as opposed to the crap that assaults us these days?
We live in a country where a few of us can recall a time when the noise from bagpipes was considered to be music.
Those of us who suffered are understandably hesitant to define what is music or condemn modern tastes.

We are voting on Maori wards and their future in each Council area. Meanwhile the Government together with LG Comission is developing a Code of Conduct for Councils and guess what it is full of. From Hobson’s Pledge
“… sits squarely under the responsibility of Simon Watts, Minister for Local Government, and the work of the Local Government Commission. The Local Government Commission has quietly opened a consultation on a draft code of conduct that will hit every council and every councillor in New Zealand.
And – no surprise – it’s packed with Treaty provisions. All the usual talk of “partnership” (read: co-governance), “equity,” and prioritising services based on race. ”
Obviously Luxon and co. will never see the elephant in the room that most voters see.
Worse still, even if we get rid of the Maori ward in Wellington, there are still two fucking unelected iwi reps with voting rights in committees.
I hope enough people wake up to make Luxon’s lot a junior partner of ACT and NZ First at the next election. Then and only then will this racist nonsense end.
FJA look up The Platform site to listen to Sean Plunket’s interview with Rhonda, not sure of the surname. Rhonda is volunteering as Ray Chung’s “right hand lady” . During the Post’s mayoral debate Little snatched Ray Chung written notes as Ray was talking. Initially angry Little would not give them back but eventually he did. But after the debate Little had real go at Rhonda ( she said she had never spoken to like that before). To top it off Labour henchman, Neale Jones recorded Little’s disgusting rant on his phone.
Unbelievable huh. Yes, I posted a link elsewhere on the page.
And to think that low IQ, low information voters will probably elect Angry Andy.
Another reason too, why a long voting period is a bad idea – I wonder how many people who voted for Andy can’t change their vote to someone else after his behaviour.
Sorry, missed your link above.

Friday
Passengers have been stranded on a train in Wellington this morning for over three hours after a downed overhead electric cable caused major disruption on the Kāpiti Line.
KiwiRail Wellington Metro GM Andy Lyon said a cable came down at 7.50am on the line near Wellington, requiring passenger services to be cancelled and bus replaced.
“Power was lost to three trains causing them to stop on the line away from platforms,” he said.
“Two were moved earlier this morning, so that people could disembark.
A diesel locomotive is currently moving the third service, which had been sitting on the rail bridge over Hutt Road with 152 passengers onboard, into Wellington Station,” Lyon said.
blah blah
“This incident will be fully investigated.”

And the truth shall never see daylight !
Fossil fuel saves the day
I used and relied in the Tube daily in London for several years.
We never had this nonsense.
Either provide a service or not.
The Wellington commuter trains are highly unreliable
but the monopoly govt owned public service (sic) Dept will never tell the truth
Use public trans port they say… Until we have a train system like Italy, they can go and get fucked…..
Yet you complain at the effort they are making.
If there’s any effort than there’s not much to show for it. The Wellington commuter train services are a joke & the Wairarapa line is worse off. Staff shortages, track refurbishment & poorly maintained, flogged out rolling stock mean that passengers are deserting in droves.
From https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360828025/waiting-it-go-wrong-good-track-record-needed-rebuild-trust-train-service
…..”The most recent network performance report was also included in the Transport Committee’s agenda which showed Wairarapa’s rail reliability for July was 74.8% and punctuality was 52.1%.”…..
Nothing will improve until 2030 when the $1 billion + eighteen five-car battery electric choochoos arrive.
Communists love trains. 🚆
On my big OE, I travelled on the Trans siberian express, from Nakhodka to Moscow in 1977. The electric train was always stopping to let freight and military trains pass. At one siding while waiting for these trains to pass, I saw hundreds of old steam trains, just lined up on tracks. I asked our guide what they were waiting for. She said they were in storage in case a war broke out. If the power lines were cut, they had all these coal powered trains to replace the electric ones.
They handed out plastic bags so the passengers could go to the toilet. How… thoughtful…
