When adern moved into Camborne in Mt Albert they replaced the 2 foot fence with an opaque 6 foot fence.

I think it was to keep the floodwaters out 😁

Camborne Rd flooded badly in Sept 2022 and again in January 2023 .

It is in the flatlands at the bottom of a (volcanic made) hill

Bit long, but worth the read. This is why NZ is buggered.

Seven tribes, one furniture store – The absurd racism of NZ’s consent regime
Matua Kahurangi
Dec 8

“ACT MP Simon Court recently posted IKEA’s 2023 Resource Consent Requirements, and the document is a masterclass in how far New Zealand has drifted into full-blown, bureaucratised separatism. The whole thing reads like a cultural compliance manual rather than a straightforward building approval. If this is what a global company must wade through just to put up a furniture store, no wonder this country is falling apart.

One of the requirements demands that IKEA invite representatives from seven different mana whenua groups at every major stage of earthworks. Seven. For one site. It’s not “optional engagement” or “friendly consultation”. It is compulsory attendance, compulsory notice, compulsory involvement, and compulsory ceremonial participation. That isn’t cultural respect. That is policy-mandated racial gatekeeping.

The forced karakia requirement is even worse. Karakia is personal. It is spiritual. It belongs to individuals who choose to practise it. Somehow, in modern 2025 New Zealand, the government has decided that private companies must take part in it as part of their legal obligations to the state. There is nothing respectful about turning someone’s spiritual practice into a bureaucratic checkbox. It cheapens the ceremony and burdens the people forced to perform it.

Then you get to “cultural monitoring”. Mana whenua must be given the opportunity to carry out monitoring “as deemed required by them”. In other words, they get to decide when it happens, how often it happens, and how much it will cost. There is no limit, no definition, and no accountability. This is not partnership. This is not stewardship. This is the state handing a racially-defined group the power to dictate the terms of a private development.

To top it off, mana whenua must also be given access to the site at their discretion. Not at agreed times. Not with notice. Their discretion. That kind of access would never be granted to any other group, anywhere, under any other circumstance. Yet here, it is written into the rules, stamped as policy, and treated as normal.

New Zealand now operates two legal systems. One for everyone, and one in which an ancestry-based group is given authority, veto power, and ceremonial control over private land use. That is the literal definition of structural racism. It is not an insult. It is a statement of fact. When the rules change based on who your ancestors were, the system itself is racist.

And the consequences are enormous. Construction costs balloon. Projects stall. Investors walk away. People shake their heads and ask why everything here is so expensive. Yet the answer is sitting right in front of us. Every additional consultant, every ceremonial requirement, every monitoring process, every site visit, every meeting, every layer of cultural bureaucracy pushes the cost higher and higher. This is why New Zealand can’t build anything anymore.

Worse still, all of this dividing, categorising, separating and elevating people by race is tearing the country apart. Ordinary people feel like strangers in their own land. They feel unheard. They feel dismissed. And they feel exhausted by a political class that refuses to acknowledge the obvious truth that separatism is government policy now.

New Zealand did not become this way overnight. But it has become this way. And many New Zealanders are reaching the point of asking whether this is a place they can stay much longer.

If you want an example of how broken the system is, look no further than a consent form for a bloody IKEA store. When a flatpack warehouse requires ancestral clearance rituals and round-the-clock cultural chaperones, you know the country has lost the whakn’ plot completely.”

But Christopher Luxon cannot tell us what the outcome of a government inquiry would be. That’s like saying he knew the outcome of the IPCA investigation before it started.
Luxon disparagingly called it a “beltway story” and a “process story” of “who said what, when and where”.
But by that logic, the entire IPCA investigation and subsequent 135-page report was a “process story”. It was about who knew what and said what, when and where.
Luxon also said he didn’t want 15,000 men and women of the police to be tarnished by the reputation of a few people at the top of the tree.
Which seems the strongest argument for an inquiry to restore any trust lost.

Why the Police Minister failed to disclose the first time he heard about a McSkimming complaint and why it matters

I moved a couple of years ago from the awful spark/telecon
to 2 Degrees as Fibre service provider.
had the cellphone for years .
they give a combined use discount as well.

I never even saw the proposed 300 Mbps from Telecon as a blur in the distance.
frequent drop outs as well
max 80 Mbps

Moved to 2 degrees and highly reliable, cheaper
and 500 Mbps down, now .

the odd thing is these are meant to be the retailer that clips the ticket and yet telcon/sparkie were soooo useless of every level
slower than named internet speed, frequent dropouts in central residential area, like 20 mins every 2 weeks , and minimum 40 minute wait on the phone to get someone in Asia.

in balance 2 Degrees customer service has dropped in the last 3 to 4 years
When I went on the cellphone in 2010, early adopter, and it was great but they had few customers. As they got bigger it has waned but still better than the best telcon ever had.
Paul Reynolds and Simon moutter fucked it for all time.

Just read this transcript Its long but worth reading in my opinion.

NAOMI WOLF: Hey, everyone, welcome. It’s Naomi Wolf of Daily Clout and I’m incredibly honored and excited, actually thrilled, it’s quite historic, to have here with us today Edward Dowd. Welcome, Mr. Dowd.

EDWARD DOWD: Thank you for having me, Naomi.

NAOMI WOLF: Thank you so much for being here. So Edward Dowd is, you know, hugely in the news right now. He’s kind of the intersection of finance, fraud scandal, and massive current events. He’s the extraordinarily kind of courageous and well-informed whistleblower who has come forward to explain to audiences, very actively in the last couple of weeks, why in his view Pfizer has committed a fraud. And he’s also explained, I’m not going to put words in his mouth, he’s really good at explaining this himself, but he’s been to millions of people how this is sort of the third great financial scandal, the third great fraud that he has witnessed.

So I know you’ve done this a million times in the last 2 weeks, but please just briefly recapitulate your initial thesis and then we can dive into the details.

1:20
EDWARD DOWD: Sure, no problem. You know, I was very leery of taking the vaccine initially only because I knew two things. I didn’t know what I know now, but I knew two things. Operation Warp Anything seems like a disaster to me, just from a understanding of how things work, things get rushed, corners cut. And then also I know from my experience on Wall Street that vaccines take usually 7 to 10 years of safety data before they’re launched on the populace. 

So with those two facts, I said to myself, and a couple others on Wall Street also agreed, we’ll wait. We won’t take it, we’ll see what happens.

And fairly early on, April, May, June of 2021 we started hearing anecdotes. And what you need to understand about anecdotes is, they’re anecdotes but statistically any vaccine that’s going to cause some adverse reactions and or deaths, but they’re so rare statistically you should never hear of that happening in your circles. So right away, from a math perspective, I knew something was wrong, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. 

2:29
Then it came out in the fall that, and I learned this from a friend in the biotech industry, that Pfizer had failed its all cause mortality endpoint in the initial trial. They kind of really didn’t go forward with that in the press release, imagine that. They emphasized other data points, end points, so to speak, the fact that it was quote unquote 95% effective.

All cause mortality is the gold standard in any drug trial at the FDA.[1] When you fail that end point, the drug’s not approved.

So what did we find out?

Well, the Pfizer vaccine killed more people, or, didn’t kill, but more deaths occurred in the vaccine arm than in the placebo arm. And that didn’t come out until a FOIA request and data dump in late November[2] and the press didn’t pick up on it. And that’s when I really started to say that fraud was committed.

I got more loud about fraud when the FDA decided to hide the clinical data for 75 years.

So, you know, when I’m— I’m an investor, so let me just say how I think about the world. I don’t wait for people to tell me what just happened. I— my job was to come up with a analyst’s mosaic and investment thesis, and then, over time I’d be proven right. So I don’t wait for the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal or the Washington Post to tell me anything because by the time that happens the opportunity to make money’s lost. 

So I started screaming fraud as soon as I saw that because it’s unprecedented to hide data from the public. So I said, that’s a cover up, that’s fraud.

And then I made the analogy to the great financial crisis. The fraud in the great financial crisis, the real estate fraud, was perpetrated not by just the banks. They needed a third party trusted institution to do that, and that was the rating agencies. So the people who ultimately bought these bonds in the great financial crisis trusted the the rating agencies. So that’s why they didn’t look too hard or long at the bonds being sold to them by Wall Street. 

So I made the analogy, and it looks like it’s proving out to be true, that the FDA is the third party trusted institution, and Pfizer needed them to commit this fraud.

I went on Steve Bannon show and I said I wanted to be a lightning rod, and a lot of people took that to mean that I was going to, you know, get attacked by, you know, drug companies. No, what I mean was, I wanted people to reach out to me.

And Brooke Jackson, a whistleblower in the clinical trial data that came out in November, she came forward in November with the British Medical Journal, she came forward and she gave them all the receipts, all the documentation. They published an article that made a little bit of noise but then it was quickly censored by the tech overlords. Mainstream media didn’t even talk about it or even reach out to her.

So she called me, reached out to me, because I was the first person she heard to say fraud. And so I talked to her for 3 hours. And there’s so much fraud that it actually overwhelms you. This is the problem. So a lot of people— and this is what I do, I sort data then I figure out what’s the most relevant part. 

And what I figured out, and she would agree, is that her clinical trial, her 1,000 patients were unblinded. And when you unblind, when you unblind, it should be tossed out, the data should be tossed out. And Pfizer’s own protocols state that as well. 

So she brought that to the attention of her other colleagues. That’s when the tone with her changed. There was a coverup call to just hide this. She decided to whistleblow. She went to the FDA, reported it anonymously in the morning at 9 am. She was fired 6 hours later.

Then as several days later Pfizer attorney, who we’ve identified as Mark Barnes,[3] who has, who apparently, is swamp creature that goes way back to all sorts of things, contacted her. She never talked to him.

So she then went to go file a suit with the FDA, a whistleblower suit, and the FDA kept kicking the can down the road. That’s why we didn’t hear from her until she decided to whistleblow in November. Her attorney fired her because you’re not supposed to talk about cases like this, you’re locked down from speaking. But she felt it was so important she decided to go against her attorney’s advice and she came public.

So this is where we are. So the data is fraud. The whole thing is fraud.

Thanks rol :—-

As much earlier stated, that Professor Scragg, only gave a cursory glance, as he could not, & did not look at all the data that Barry Young had produced.

The only fault was that somehow Michelle Boag had got some of BY’s data, & shared it with a National MP, who was careful not to disclose names under privilege in Parliament..
So that is why the claim of revealing names, which was fixed.

Ever since then, the Barry Young’s data was totally atomized to be anonymized.
Only ages, cohorts demography was used.

……. from KiwiRail, which is replacing its fleet of Wabtec diesel-electric locomotives. …..

…..  will work with Wabtec—widely regarded as the world’s preeminent diesel-electric locomotive manufacturer—to upgrade the units.

The result, Holley said, will be “a very high-capacity and high-reliability locomotive that we can deliver to the industry in a very short period of time and at a very cost-effective price.” …..

Diesel electric trains are self reliant.

overhead lines, not so much.
and if overhead power lines are so good
why did they scrap the Wellington busses that ran electric on overhead powerlines.

They did pretty well considering the steep hills, tunnels, windy roads, very windy environment in which they operated .

would todays wimps and DEIs need danger money or call a specialist if the connection dropped. the drivers used to get out and reattach the supply when the connecting arm dropped.
a lot of those bus drivers then were staunch lesbians and actually good drivers.

its of no suprise tho that chief sausage roll eater and union ally chipkins thinks its great and no issue.

NZs productivity is terrible, many places shut down for 3weeks, some even longer esp govt departments and wtf is it with lazy cunt builders theyre the worst.
chip chop back to fucking work on the 3rd of jan you slack fuckers!!!

like any other sane person stupid boy avoids going away on any public holiday period and xmas break as everywhere is full of more fuckwits than usual. best to wait till late jan or early feb to bugger off somewhere when the madness dies down and you have a bit more chill time.

if luxon had any balls he would order all govt dept employees and other public servants back to work on the 3rd, wouldnt the absolute meltdown and hysteria be an epic watch! throw a bit of sand around the office and in conjunction with all those salty tears itll be like being at the beach anyways 🙂

The worst are usually the general slackers over the whole year, they manage to have lots of regular annual leave and nobody misses their absence. Christmas/Jan is then an extended break. It’s only those in retail or the front office required to roll up to cover those slack arses back at work in early January.

Very few self-employed relying on their own production to make a living can afford to bugger off for very long.

Yeah, nah. In the four years prior to the Mad Queen locking down the country over the Covid scam we spent a lot of time in the Kerikeri/Doubtless Bay area. The camping grounds did good business in autumn when the marlin were biting & 50% of their clientèle were Auckland tradies with the latest utes & super expensive trailer boats.

They would fish from before daybreak returning late afternoon to retreat to a quiet spot in the grounds to crack a few cans, answer their voicemail & offer bullshit excuses to frantic customers on how their day to turned to custard & they’d be on site tomorrow.

This went on for a weeks at a time. I’ve never had much time for Kiwi construction tradesmen & I had a whole lot less after listening to that load of crap.

Yup, it’s torture working at places that have a three week shutdown, and also fucking unfair that a business can mandate a continuous three week shutdown anyway, when many people get four weeks of holiday.

Wellington summer weather is usually shit until at least end of Jan. – why would people want three weeks off at Christmas.

I’m also an atheist – happy about Christians doing their thing, but I’d rather have holidays when I want them, not around Christian celebrations.

December weather is generally unstable
we had thunderstorms last week
Same in places like France in June.

Weather does not settle until mid January in NZ
the warmest weather typically is 20 January to 10 Feb
2023 being a nasty exception.

Only a dream here

but it makes sense to me to have Xmas as Xmas
like the northern hemisphere
10 days or so
Then back to work/school.

Have official summer holidays in February as separate from Xmas/ new year and that is family time.

I had two Xmases in ye olde England and Xmas was Xmas.
July was holiday time .

In Europe, Spain France Italy and have traditionally shut down in August
Equal to February here .

England in July; and USA has a vague crossover of July to August.
A lot of staff in US don’t even get paid holiday leave. They see it as communism in action!
Spain France Italy go back to hundreds of years of pre-airconditioning when it was too hot to work/pay attention in school.

UK school goes back in September = March here

My view is Xmas as Xmas 10 or 11 days

Holidays in February
but it wont happen
and if there was any changes by the uniparty, Australia would need to drive it
and much of Australia is hot anytime from November to March so it makes no difference to them
whereas NZs thin band of good weather (when we are lucky maybe one in 3 years) should be exploited better.

Nothing will change.

Mother of all debates: Willis wants finance faceoff with new nemesis Ruth Richardson
There’s fighting talk from Nicola Willis, who wants to face off against one of the country’s most polarising finance ministers who Willis claims is behind a Taxpayers’ Union campaign to discredit her. Lloyd Burr explains.
The mother of the infamous ‘Mother of All Budgets’ in 1991 has been issued a challenge from the only other woman to hold the finance minister role: front up and debate me.
Incumbent Finance Minister Nicola Willis says her National Party predecessor from the early 90s is behind an imminent Taxpayers’ Union campaign that’s expected to blast her policies and criticise her government’s debt levels.
But she’s not taking it lying down, quite the opposite.

Has Willis checked out Ruth Richardson’s economic achievement when finance minister? Jordan Williams from TPU said Ruth is their patron and when she departed as finance minister she’d reduced the raging inflation back down to 3%.

So why the animosity from nanny? Is Willis fronting feelings of inadequacy.
FAFO!

No special partly maori placement for her.
and
why parliament. she was there for the Gweens as a staffer years back
but never a representative

I know she gets dazed and confused by excessive liquid, but she was not in parliament per se.

Many years ago the local pool fence inspector pointed out that we had some vegetation growing on the outside of our pool fence that a child could potentially use to climb over the fence.

I pointed out that the vegetation was roses with a lot of sharp thorns and a child was unlikely to climb up grabbing the branches.

After a bit of thought the inspector passed pool inspection.

New Zealand’s new planning system will make it easier to build the homes and infrastructure our country needs, give farmers and growers the freedom to get on with producing world-class food and fibre, and strengthen our primary sector while protecting the environment, RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop and Under-Secretary Simon Court say.

It is still only an announcement.

“The Government’s announcements about replacement RMA legislation show that decisions on the new regime have been substantively made, and iwi and hapu are being engaged on our settlements as an afterthought,” Morgan said.

The Forum, which represents over 80 iwi across Aotearoa, argues that Treaty settlements are deeply connected to existing resource management law – meaning any new framework must embed those commitments from the outset.

“The Crown cannot unilaterally change settlements in a manner that diminishes that compact,” Morgan said.

Other than redistributing the overseas funds earned by the country’s farmers to bludgers & the churn merchants of the cities government is generally ignores the primary sector.

On the first day of Christmas, my neighbour sent to me: bush pigs rooting in the field 
On the second day of Christmas, my neighbour sent to me: 2 wall-a-bies 
On the third day of Christmas, my neighbour sent to me: 3 wild deer 
On the fourth day of Christmas, my neighbour sent to me: 4 kill-er cats 
On the fifth day of Christmas, my neighbour sent to me: FIVE WILD-ING PINES! 
On the sixth day of Christmas, my neighbour sent to me: 6 chewing goats 
On the seventh day of Christmas, my neighbour sent to me: 7 T-B possums 
On the eighth day of Christmas, my neighbour sent to me: 8 rab-bits breed-ing 
On the ninth day of Christmas, my neighbour sent to me: 9 Can-a-da geese 
On the tenth day of Christmas, my neighbour sent to me: 10 ducks de-stroy-ing 
On the eleventh day of Christmas, my neighbour sent to me: 11 koi carp swir-ling 
On the twelfth day of Christmas, my neighbour sent to me: 12 rats a-gnaw-ing

A lovely pretty posie of Madasgar ragwart flowers ready to seed, that will grow & poison horses & cattle & nor can sheep control work, and actually can be poisoned too..

Asian Golden clams
From clogging water filters to pumps, expensive in time & damage, & other water intakes, to probably even ending up, expanding & growing to fill water troughs for stock.

Let alone the Bristol grass, which stock will not eat, once it goes to seed.
Now a road side grass, that is now spreading up & down farm races & tracks & out into pasture land.

All those riparian plantings are going to be great eco niches for hares, rabbits, ducks, rats, wild cats, weasels, stoats, canadian geese etc., etc..
Then leptospirosis can find a great holding area, to infect just not the usual via rats to pigs, dairy cattle, but also beef-cattle, sheep, deer, so Pfizer will have to produce more vaccines, that are mandated through ‘ealth & ‘afety to jab all the live-stock to protect all the farm-workers these days.

Valid arguments but my nightmare is inspired by our UN dominated fruitcakes wanting NZ to be covered with pine trees. On a bio ecological level it’s an invitation to disaster. All it would take is a pinus specific virus & NZ will look like the Gobi Desert & probably be worth less.

And for those who say it can’t happen there’s some disease currently hitting pines in the Ashurst/Fielding area. Some of the trees in the hill forests past Napier heading to Wairoa aren’t exactly a picture of health either.

The pine diseases have long been here.
It is like anything being farmed, or nature it self.
The worst thing & most dangerous for a lamb is another lamb, or for a calf, is another calf.
So it goes for pine trees.

Last century I recall that some agricultural rural aviation set up their planes for some massive contracts to spray pine plantations, year after year.
It worked well for them as it seemed to be in the winter through to the early spring.
Though that does seem contradictory to the recommendations.

Dothistroma needle blight which over a few years will kill the trees.
Was sort of controlled by some form of copper fungi spray
https://www.canopy.govt.nz/manage-forest/pest-disease-weed-control/diseases/pine-needle-diseases/dothistroma-needle-blight

So it would seem that probably a lack of $dollars to spend on their pine plantations.
Just barely costed, to look good to their investors, like planting G16 & lower instead of the stated G18 if I recall one of the scams of years ago,

Will the people in NZ be happy 🙄 😮 😯 ☹ 😖 to be sprayed again, like for that Gypsey moth / now named changed to spongey moth?

The mention of copper is interesting. Although copper sprays work by tweaking the PH of the foliage I wonder if there’s an underlying copper deficiency in the soils where the trees are growing.

As a general rule of thumb all land SE of Taupo/Ruapehu suffers from a paucity of various trace elements due the volcanic make-up of the soil. This extends into the Wairarapa where land west of SH2 needs regular top ups of cobalt to facilitate the production of Vit B12 which helps with worm resistance.

As I recall trace mineral soil tests indicated a shortage of copper as well

Sort of in that last question, the surge in wild pig, wild deer, wild goats, that now supposedly require fully registered, licenced & very expensive exterminators, because of compliance costs.

Then they are ruled by central Wellington by permits, fees, regulations, etc., so they can empty 30+ mags with a very good rifle, in to groups of those pests if they can be rounded up, & before they can scatter.

So the Auckland police arrested the guy, Adrian Pania, who only stabbed a commuter as he got off the bus, rang the police, taken to hospital, only then died.
At another stop, severly lacerated the hand of another commuter.

The justice system in Germany has some ways of dropping charges and so giving major discounts in sentencing.

…… despite stabbing his victim four times in the back and twice in the thigh, the fact that the Afghan stopped stabbing her once she screamed was enough to convince the court in Stuttgart to drop the attempted murder charge. ……

So easily to prove, he never had any intent for any one to die, as Justice system will take tips from systemic progressive German Courts.
