“Katie Abraham, was killed in a car crash in January in Urbana, Illinois, which is about two hours south of Chicago. Police arrested illegal alien Julio Cucul-Bol, a native of Guatemala, and charged him with drunk driving and running from the scene of the accident. Cucul-Bol will serve 30-years in prison for the crime after he reached a plea deal.”
“A truck driver who caused a fiery crash near Waimate that killed a beloved husband and grandfather has been sentenced to three years and two months’ imprisonment.
On September 11 last year, a truck driven by Jeremy Anthony Lee, 43, veered across a centre line near Waimate and collided with a car driven by Alan George Weir, 65, killing him on impact.
He was later found to have nearly double the high-risk impairment level of methamphetamine in his system at the time of the crash.
At a prior appearance, Lee admitted charges of dangerous driving causing death and driving while impaired by a drug causing death.
Judge Hermann Retzlaff said considering the level of methamphetamine in Lee’s system, his level of culpability was “moderate to high”.
He cited aggravating features including “enormous” levels of harm to Weir’s family, the level of drugs in his system, and the manner of his driving leading up to the accident, and set a starting point of four years and nine months before applying discounts based on various factors.”
Another example of the ”justice” system:

Your article has been blackholed
Nothing has changed. I had a 16 yo friend knocked off his motorbike by a drunk driver in the early’80s. Mate was then run over and killed by some poor bastard in the oncoming lane.
If I recall correctly (the clips I kept went missing somehow), the drunk who did it did not even receive a custodial sentence. I’ve wondered over the decades if the scumbag ended up a worthwhile citizen or not.
The driving while impaired causing death in charge of a heavy vehicle in paid work should carry 10 years , hes only been given same as a couple of mates crashing a car on way home from pisser.
So Hermann, the Judge, considers Mr Weir’s life is only worth 4 years an 9 months, but he reconsidered that valuation and said while Mr Weir maybe a model citizen and that as he had done absolutely nothing wrong while driving that day, that he, Hermann as a Judge, would actually devalue Mr Weir’s life further and say that on reconsideration, it is only worth 3 years and 2 months and that is what Mr Weir’s killer will serve at worst.
But the truth is, Mr Weirs killer will infact only serve probably 1 year and 2 weeks if he is a good boy in the Slammer, so according to Hermann, the Judge, Mr Weir’s life is only worth just that, a paltry 1 year and 2 weeks, just one third of what Judge Hermann Retzlaff sentenced Jeremy Lee to prison for, for killing Alan Weir. That hardly seems like Justice.
With a sentence like that Judge Herman Retzlaff should be flogged with a maggoty Cat and then thrown out of the Justice system in this country, but no, Hermann will in due course, be rewarded to a higher post and salary and never think of Alan Weir again or his family who have had to suffer his loss, his company, friendship and having him as a great grandfather.
I am disgusted.
Judges like that should have to check under their car every day, before they go to work.
Good article on proposed CGT.
Capital gains property tax: Why it strikes a nerve – Deborah Chambers, KC – NZ Herald
Paywalled
THE FACTS
If elected, Labour says, it will introduce a new tax: a capital gains tax on residential and commercial property that isn’t your family home.
My concern isn’t that such a tax couldn’t be implemented. It’s that, after decades of dealing with property disputes, I know something politicians often miss: human beings have an almost visceral aversion to being taxed on what they already own. It unsettles people in a way that policymakers underestimate.
Many of us struggle to articulate why. But let me try.
“I bought this property with money I earned, money already taxed when I made it and again when I spent it. And now you want to tax me simply because I have it? Bugger off.”
That reaction may sound blunt, but it captures a deep truth. Taxing capital gains feels like double taxation – a punishment for prudence.
We save because we crave security. We’re like squirrels, quietly stashing away our nuts against the winter. We hate inflation nibbling at our savings. And as we grow older, we worry about how to look after ourselves when work stops.
Psychologically, there’s a huge difference between a Government saying, “as you earn, we’ll take a share”, or “as you spend, we’ll take a share”, and a Government saying, “nice property you’ve got there. Now pay up.”
For many New Zealanders, property isn’t a luxury. It’s the only realistic savings plan. So a tax on property value feels like a tax on thrift on what’s been carefully set aside, or meant to be passed on to the next generation.
When we buy that investment property, we’ve already accepted that the Government takes half through income tax and GST. Those personal taxes are part of a democratic contract by which voters pay for government. But taxing the property itself, the product of those savings, strikes at something more personal. It feels confiscatory. It cuts across our psychological and deep-rooted longing for security and provision against future uncertainties.
That’s why no party in New Zealand has ever been elected promising a full capital gains tax.
Of course, there are also economic reasons. Capital is the seed corn of prosperity. Tax it too heavily, and people stop planting. Investment drops. Productivity lags. Wages stagnate.
Not all gains are real, either. Inflation can lift asset prices without creating any actual wealth, meaning a capital gains tax can erode purchasing power and leave investors worse off.
Then there’s the distortion it creates. People hang on to assets they should sell because the tax hit wipes out the benefit of doing so. Why sell your bach to invest in a business if the Government clips 28% off the top?
It’s the same with rental properties. Tax them harder and fewer people invest, driving rents up and reducing housing choice.
People and businesses respond to incentives. Change the incentives, and you change behaviour. It’s not ideology; it’s the reality that people, especially the rich, can change how much work they do, where they earn money, how they earn money and when they earn money. I see this all the time in my legal practice. New Zealanders will climb Mt Everest and create tax avoidance structures as complex as Gaza tunnels in order to avoid paying an extra $1 in tax. If there are loopholes to find, my fellow professionals will beam in on those ambiguities and squeeze through that gap, pulling their clients behind them.
And make no mistake: this tax would be complex, expensive to administer, and of limited fiscal benefit. Even Labour admits it won’t meaningfully reduce the deficit.
That’s why many successful economies – Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong – don’t have capital gains taxes. They attract capital. We repel it.
The idea of “squeezing the rich” might be politically attractive, but in the end, a capital gains tax doesn’t just hit the wealthy. It hits the psyche.
It tells ordinary New Zealanders that saving, investing, and taking risk will be punished.
And that’s the problem.
“… a punishment for prudence.”
Best summary I’ve seen of CGTs. Could equally be applied to tax on interest earned.
….And that’s the problem..…
no
under RED liebour
….And that’s the intent .
you shall have nothing…..
look at the top marginal income tax rates around the in the 1960s
NZ AU US UK that I know of
top rate mostly 90% or higher.
It all circles back.
If capital gains taxes work then the general aussie economy would work different from ours but it doesn’t .
A genuine question.

Nine new councillors joined five returning members in being sworn in by chief executive Fiona McTavish.
So what sort of a jack up was that ya reckon.
many traditional chickens as bred by the ancients die every day for KFC to feed the puku of the tanga ta fenua .
ah wait; they serve seagulls now
so ,
that’s where the chickens went.
She doesn’t understand her role as a councillor .
Shows how the whole race based system stinks. She is there to represent people. Constituents. Act in the interests of all. Makes me f…n mad.
Hawkes Bay RC had a female racist Chair last term .Favoured certain people all the way.
…She doesn’t understand her role as a councillor ….
C’mon
how many actually do?
the power is with the Executive now
so this is grandstanding
which is what a lot of them do.
until central govt makes the coucil like a board of directors to instruct the executive, this is all musical chairs.
and notional are too weak for that
liebour don’t want anyone else to have power other than themselves
…unbridled !!
and anyway, if we are reading the room right, then notional cant even get the wellywood pubic servants to do their biding .
so they are impotent seat warmers .
Council =a lost cause of grifters and yakkety yakkers
Quite frankly the quality control over vote counting is a shambles as well.
Oh my – you are in for some interesting times.
“McDonald said some of her proudest achievements as a councillor were “being the Māori voice at the table” and “elevating Komiti Māori”.
Komiti Māori provided direction and guidance on the council’s obligations to Māori, including the growth of authentic partnerships with tangata whenua, emerging issues, legal requirements, effective engagement, awareness and understanding.”
“She said among the council’s biggest issues were Local Waters Done Well and climate change.
“We will be looking seriously at whether or not we actually build a specific committee that’s purely focused on climate change.”
The regional council shouldn’t be involved in local water done well .
We need their money as they have contributed not a sent to the Tauranga City ratepayers account ever, even though we generously propped u their sole income maker with roads and infrastructure.
They owe TCC about 1.5 billion dollars.

Billy Goates says climmy change suddenly is not a big deal.
Do keep up !
What, you expect these people to keep up when they are harking back to living like they did in the 19th century?
Clack bunts and clack bunt lovers. A scourge on New Zealand’s society.
They need to be dealt with…swiftly and permanently.
She was standing in the killing line at Tegal to get the best cock feathers!
And Sooty, is the SPCA aware of this barbarity?
Who cares, KFC!
What did the Maori do before the white man arrived with chooks? Ate the indigenous birds.
Moa leg bones were quite the item for awhile.
Moa obviously did not have a wishbone for good luck !!
The proof is in the subsistence, stone-age, near starvation lifestyle .
No one had much luck there
especially the eatees .
Siouxsie Wiles: Why I’m crowdfunding despite winning my legal battle
Microbiologist Siouxsie Wiles has launched a fundraising campaign to cover some of the legal fees accrued in taking a case against her employer, the University of Auckland. She explains why.
It’s been almost two and a half years since I last wrote a piece for The Spinoff (about a deadly fungus, if you are curious…)
Today, I’m not here to tell you about some nasty new microbe, but to ask for your help; I’m doing a crowdfunding campaign to try to recover some of the more than $400,000 I am out of pocket after winning my legal battle with my employer.

We used up all our savings, accepted contributions from family and friends, and took out some large bank loans. Of our total spend, over $40,000 is the interest on those loans. And that will continue to grow until we’ve paid back the last one. (sad story of the week ,maybe her fellow comrade Ardern ,could give her a few bucks?)

Drown in your own sorrow, lady. You helped to create an even worse situation for thousands of other Kiwi’s including sending them to their death beds. You owe Kiwi’s and Karma is a bitch.
The bloody charity drive
I looked at midday and there was $50,000 pledged
6 hours later at 6pm there is $76,500 pledged
Now a pledge is interesting
people get all emotional and with pledges the collection rate is usually 40 to 50% of the pledged sum
eg pledged $100,000
then collect approx $45,000
unless they take a lock on the credit card at time of pledge.
there are plenty of fools out there
including the pink(o) tart that ran up $400 k legal bill over BS.

Question.
How does Chris Bishop manage to get all the roading projects past the Minister of Finance?
Not knocking the projects nor their need, but when NZ Rail wanted waterfront infrastructure that supported their efforts to remove trucks from the road, that same dozy tart cancelled it all.
So, we will have billions of new roads and all restricted to two islands, as the sea bridge will be inadequate.
There is a long list of new projects, which is fine.
Soon Naaska will be advocating for a road tunnel through the Rimatuka’s.
Not a big job, actually.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/billion-dollar-spend-on-two-hawkes-bay-highway-projects-will-be-a-shot-in-the-arm-for-region-aa-says/Y7TB7M2T55GELCXTMKSTAFPBHY/
Not one of these are toll roads except in the BOP where we have 2 now and a third one being built.
She canceled the rail because it is useless for everything but coal trains .
…..”Soon Naaska will be advocating for a road tunnel through the Rimatuka’s.”…..
Not so. The hill is a 555 metre high fortification that keeps many woke. wanky Wellingtonians & their dinky little EVs out of the Wairarapa.
The Rimutakas go to near 1000 meters
About 950 metres from memory in modern money.
it is the road that peaks at 555 metres then goes back down.
About 1800 feet.
The average Wellingtonian may have the mental agility of a retarded amoeba but even they’re not thick enough to climb over the peaks.
We’ll mount our defences at the 555metre mark. 🙂
As an aside when the last major realignment was started on the Rimutaka hill road about twenty years ago they rediscovered a tunnel under the road about half a kilometre southwest of the summit. It had been dug during WW2 by army engineers with the idea of blowing up the road & delaying movement if the Japs invaded.
Where there’s a will there’s a way!
Interesting what you forget.
I remember that as it was a known thing with the fella’s at the time.
Managed to find all this.
During the ww2 a tunnel was excavated so the army could blow up the road if the Japanese ever arrived. What information is there in the army archives about that?
Thinking
Army archives, specifically in the National Archives of New Zealand (Archives New Zealand), contain information and plans related to defensive preparations in the Rimutaka Range during World War II, including proposals to create demolition points to block the road in the event of a Japanese invasion [1, 2].
While a specific, dedicated tunnel excavated solely for this purpose is not widely documented in public sources, the plans involved creating specific positions where explosive charges could be placed to cause maximum disruption and effectively “blow up” or create a large slip on the road [1].
Key information available in the archives typically includes:
Defence Plans: Detailed strategies for the defence of the Wellington region and the Wairarapa, outlining how key routes like the Rimutaka Pass would be defended and potentially destroyed [1, 2].Engineering Reports: Documentation from the New Zealand Engineers and Public Works Department on proposed demolition sites, the required amount of explosives, and the likely effect on the road [1].Correspondence: Letters and memos between military commanders and government officials discussing the feasibility and necessity of these extreme measures [1].Home Guard Records: Information relating to the local Home Guard units who were tasked with implementing these plans if required [1]. These records indicate that the intent and planning for such a demolition were very real, but it is important to note that the actual physical work of permanently installing the explosive charges or excavating a substantial new “tunnel” specifically for that purpose was likely not completed, as the imminent threat of invasion never materialised. The plans were for pre-prepared locations where charges could be quickly inserted if the order was given [1].
Specific archival file references would need to be requested from Archives New Zealand by researchers for full details.
A tunnel was indeed excavated on the Rimutaka Hill Road
during World War II with the express purpose of holding explosives to demolish the road in case of a Japanese invasion. This was part of a broader defensive strategy implemented across New Zealand in response to the perceived threat after the attack on Pearl Harbour.
Information about this specific “demolition tunnel” can be found in archives, including those at the Upper Hutt City Library and related records available through DigitalNZ, which reference its location and intended purpose. These records include site forms and descriptions confirming the tunnel’s existence and defensive role.
General army archives held by Archives New Zealand and the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) contain extensive documentation on New Zealand’s military history and WWII defensive plans. Researchers can access declassified documents through these institutions to find more detailed information, such as:
While public-facing digital archives provide snippets confirming the tunnel’s existence and purpose, detailed operational and technical specifications are likely held within the physical collections of Archives New Zealand and the NZDF Personnel Archives. These documents may be restricted depending on sensitivity and the specific information requested.
Specific Plans: Records likely include the original engineering plans for the tunnel, details of the amount and type of explosives intended for use, and the specific triggers or conditions under which the demolition would have occurred.
Military Unit Involvement: Documentation would identify which specific military units or Public Works Department personnel were responsible for excavating the tunnel and planning the demolition.
Strategic Context: Archives would contain broader strategic defence plans, including why the Rimutaka Pass was identified as a critical point for a road block and how it integrated with other defensive measures in the Wellington region.
Inspection Reports: Post-war inspection reports or notes on the status of the tunnel and the removal of any materials might also be available.
so interesting. A general search turned up only the rail tunnels.
It was dug under the piece of road often referred to as “Muldoon’s Corner”. Tight & to the right.
It was nearly impossible to get a truck & trailer past the bluff intact without taking up 60% of the northbound lane. A bit like the overhang at the western end of the Manawatu Gorge.

This morning’s Herald website includes a readable article on the cost of living within NZ. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/personal-finance/beneficiaries-pensioners-dont-have-enough-money-for-basics-report/2EUVZON4ARA6DIULL25DDRDHNQ/ makes some valid points, amongst them being the unaffordability of housing.
(Realising the delicate natures of this blog’s altruistic investors who offer quality housing to the poor & needy out of the goodness of their hearts I won’t enlarge on the theme)
Yet as the article penned by Susan Edmunds of RNZ (who we’ll presume to be a woman because of her name & a rabid, insane, biased, marxist, feminist because of her chosen employer) inevitably concentrates on the terrible financial hurdles faced by those employed in the “female-dominated fields of teaching, nursing, midwifery and social work”.
#. “Unpaid placements and low starting wages in these professions cause lifelong financial setbacks for women – for the first 8-12 years working in these fields, women would be better off financially as a minimum wage worker.”
#. “For the first 14-28 years, the effective cumulative salary is less than a police officer – who is paid to train, has no debt and no degree. After 20 years on average, their superannuation will be about a quarter of a police officer’s.”
It seems that this leads to queues of teachers seeking food parcels & all sorts of horrible outcomes. No mention is made of the FemNazis driving males out of teaching & social work which means that men can’t join the breadline & suffer alongside them.
Well tell them to become cops then.
the cops are currently taking no hopers who can hide in their cop car and have no reprimand .
coster and bush broke whatever spirit there may have been.
and this underscores the very point that those with an IQ above 95 make
….if you choose low paying jobs -out of choice, just to emphasise — then it is YOU who owns the outcome .
a lousy comparison as well …Cops don’t stay that long in the job
so very few cops get to that stage of benefit.
used to be the PERF out scheme where many bailed early.
Whereas teachers can do 5 or 6 years, take 15 years off for family, and walk back in at their pay grade.
Google AI
As of 2016 data, the average length of service for New Zealand male police constabulary officers was about 15 years, while for female officers it was approximately 11.4 years.
so, even there, the women put in less effort.
My ex-brother-in-law from looong time ago used to be the Chief Inspector of a part of Auckland, can’t remember which bit but it involved Greenlane.
He was a very old school copper. ” They got tattoos, Hunty, they’re criminals”
…..”from looong time ago”….
How long? I got a few in the late 60s mostly to suit the ‘bad boy’ image that chickybabes love but the local cop never worried about it. Nor did my boss or his customers.
Heaps of knowalls told me I’d regret them, (I didn’t), they’d typecast me (I didn’t give a fuck then or now) & no decent woman would have me. (they did & I married the best one).
I call bullshit. 🙂

Meridian starts work on $227m Ruakākā solar farm to power Northland homesConstruction has officially begun on Meridian Energy’s $227 million solar farm at Ruakākā.
The 130-megawatt (MW) farm, for which the ground was broken earlier this month, is Meridian’s first grid-scale solar project in New Zealand.
It’s expected to start generating electricity by late 2026, with full commissioning scheduled for early 2027.

The project has a strong sustainability focus, he said. More than 79,000 tonnes of construction carbon emissions would be completely offset by the wetland and planting activities. Local employment would be prioritised.
What a croc of shit.

Did you see Hipkins’ train wreck on Q+A this morning? Link to view.
Hipkins just confirmed that under Labour all roads lead to more taxes, more spending, and more debt – the same recipe that landed New Zealand in the mess we’re still cleaning up.
Just days after announcing a capital gains tax that will hit family baches, small businesses, mum and dad rentals, and other savers, Hipkins confirmed today that he is open to more debt under a Labour government.
Labour hasn’t learned any lessons from the past – all Labour knows how to do is tax hard working Kiwis and dream up new ways of spending it.
In their six years in charge, Labour lifted debt by a whopping $120 billion, and all Kiwis are paying the price – with interest costs now more than $9.5 billion.
And this shows that the capital gains tax is just the start of new taxes to cover their massive spending plans.
National’s strong fiscal management is getting the books back in order. By stopping wasteful spending – like reducing consultant costs by over $1 billion – we are delivering lower taxes and more investment in frontline services like schools and hospitals.
You can’t trust Labour with the economy.

Especially for Nasska.
