“Driving Home For Christmas” singer Chris Rae has dies, aged 74. He had his pancreas removed in 2001 following cancer and suffered a stroke in 2016.
If you open the link his song video is shown. It shows a car travelling along snowy roads with snow falling as he drives, with oncoming cars all along the way. Cannot help thinking what happens in New Zealand if those conditions existed, roads would be shut, schools would close, weather warnings would be full of doom and the Country would go into lockdown stance.
Always enjoyed the song but quite sad if there are times when one cannot “be home” for Christmas.

whatever do you mean
Cannot help thinking what happens in New Zealand if those conditions existed, roads would be shut, schools would close, weather warnings would be full of doom and the Country would go into lockdown stance.
In England and Britain they shut down everything for 2 inches if snow.
Heathrow airport shuts
it is nanny state
they don’t have snow ploughs
pathetic
whereas Frankfurt airport remains open and most big European airports
and see the threshold for closure at Chcongo, O’;Hare airport !
Nah pommyland is even more nanny state than here .
It wasn’t a competition and I don’t really give a shit what Britain does.
Who does? It’s just that we get this familiar feeling of dread when we recall the words of the much loved & often sodomised Labour Prime Minister Michael Joseph Savage when he affirmed during the opening shots of WW2 that:
‘Where she goes, we go, where she stands, we stand,’ as he assured listeners that New Zealand & Britain ‘march forward to a common destiny’.
Does our present labour get sodomized often, because he hasn’t got any more sense, than when he first started!
Great xmas song.
Slade waaay better
I see Barry Manilow has lung cancer.
Doesn’t matter know. They will just spin Trev’s cd at the next protest at Parliament!
Sorry to hear that. Rather expected a chest cold from singing in the rain under mallards sprinklers. Nasty piece of work is our Trev.
yea. I see his lady is retiring from being a journo.
Nasty would be an understatement.
Yeah poor bloke. I remember when he played with Mark Knopfler for a while as Dire Rea.
“Between 2021 and 2023, Antarctica gained over 100 billion tonnes of ice every year.”
“Earth has become 5% greener since the early 2000s.”
“In 2024, global CO₂ emissions hit all-time highs… So, record emissions, yet more ice and more greenery.”
“But because the facts don’t fit the narrative, you hear crickets.”
It was gaining ice mass all along, well before 2021. NASA had published a correction on their website a decade ago. They said that they were only monitoring the east side of Antarctica which showed X loss per year, But when they added the west side of Antarctica, they discovered ice as being add to the west at 2X. So overall a net increase of X per year.
They do other stupid things. Like going to the moon in 1969. But admitting they have never been outside LEO (Low Earth Orbit) because of the intense Gamma radiation that is thousands of times higher than a x-ray. Not only that, it is ionising Gamma radiation that goes straight metals and bodies, bring certain death to astronauts. And photographic film would be over exposed in minutes if not seconds.
As pointed out on one science show, and elsewhere, to go outside LEO in a Saturn 5 rocket, everything would require 18 inches of lead lining. So the rocket would never get off the launchpad. And the lunar module would never fly. And Buzz Aldrin teased the public by saying the walls of the Lunar Module were as thin as coke can aluminum. So not only would they not stop the radiation, the module would not withstand the explosive force of being in a complete vacuum. Nor the temperature swings from +120°C in sunlight to -130°C at night.
Deception is always in the form of narratives, including logic chain narratives, where the scientific public follow the logic, that is salted with fake data, arriving at the intended fake conclusion.
“Nothing stops Covid, so if you want to save granny and the other 79,999 people, you need to get vaccinated.”
The public never ask “What have they tried on Covid, to confirm nothing stops it”, and “Is the mRNA a vaccine?”, and heaps of other critical thinking questions.
I have always wondered why if the moon landings were fake is it that the Soviets kept quiet and didn’t call them out. They would certainly have known.
NASA is a pile of woke lying shit,
part of the swamp.
if you ever attach credibility to them you are a sucker .
Interesting about Antarctica, the funny thing is that it matches the reports coming back from the fishing boats that are down there at this time of year, saying that the sea ice has grown year on year.
And the canoes.
Is that where all the feather cloaks went?
No wonder you can’t buy one these days.

I congratulate Trade Minister Todd McClay for his hard work getting the India Free Agreement over the line.
Removing barriers so Kiwi businesses can more easily sell their goods and services to 1.4 billion people, who are getting richer every year, means opportunity. It means jobs and wages. As a country, it diversifies our markets so it’s harder for anyone to hold us to ransom.
There is some complaint that the deal isn’t good enough. Well it’s better than we had, it’s better than Australia got, and a country where people literally worship cows was always going to be a hard sell on dairy access.
As for the migrants, it’s 1,667 three year visas for skilled workers. For context, around 140,000 migrants enter New Zealand every year, some years many more.
So, a big congratulations to Minister McClay for putting in the work to get the Agreement over the line and opening up opportunities for Kiwis.

‘An agreement worth supporting’ Labour may rescue India FTA after NZ First says it will vote against it
The Government has agreed a comprehensive free trade deal which eliminates or reduces tariffs on 95% of New Zealand’s exports to India.
Labour has indicated it may support the deal when it eventually comes to Parliament. Labour’s support may have salvaged the deal which was in trouble after NZ First announced it would vote against it, robbing the coalition of its majority and forcing National and Act to look for votes.
NZ First cited concerns with concessions the deal grants on visa access to Indians and the poor dairy access New Zealand exporters got in return.
“When Cabinet approval for the India deal was sought last week, New Zealand First exercised the agree to disagree provision of its coalition arrangements – while making clear that it would vote against enabling legislation if and when it is introduced to Parliament,” NZ First leader Winston Peters said in a statement.
Peters said the deal was “neither free nor fair”.

it is a pile of shit
India has nothing to offer us
should never have happened.
The China FTA got NZ through the 2008 to 2012 GFC
India is a millstone
and look at the hand over here
it’s 1,667 three year visas for skilled workers.
but another 100,000 + student visas , family reunion visas,arranged bride visas per annum
that dwarf the 1667 visas
just announcements like everything else in the last 2 years .
Skilled workers does that include Uber driver, bottle shop workers and unlicensed truckies?
How come they breed a shitload of them dumb cunts and still have an aerospace industry, fly, control traffic movements and maintain aeroplanes.
Is it because they breed some clever little Indians that tell the rest what to do?
Don’t forget they crash more boats on the beach than our DEI hire.
high rate of train deaths
and home made alcohol deaths.
Maybe it is because they have a very good basic education system ( like NZ once had) run by professional educators.
Which focuses on the basics rather than race, gender and all the other woke shit.

A renewed political firestorm is erupting around Rudy Giuliani, as Republicans are calling for what they describe as full restitution following new scrutiny of election procedures in Fulton County tied to the 2020 presidential race.
Giuliani, a key figure in efforts to challenge Georgia’s election results, previously faced serious legal consequences, including criminal charges and massive civil penalties related to claims he made about election integrity. Now, some Republican lawmakers argue that recent admissions by county officials about procedural violations specifically unsigned ballot tally tapes raise questions about whether Giuliani was unfairly punished for concerns that later proved grounded in documented irregularities.
During a public statement, a county representative acknowledged that some election tapes were not properly signed, confirming it was a violation of established rules. While officials stressed that the issue does not automatically equate to fraud and emphasized that new leadership, tighter procedures, and enhanced training have since been implemented, critics say the admission undermines the certainty with which past accusations against Giuliani were dismissed.
Supporters of restitution argue that if election rules were violated even procedurally then individuals who raised alarms should not have been financially or legally destroyed for doing so. They insist accountability must cut both ways: either rules matter, or they don’t.
Critics counter that procedural errors are not proof of fraudulent votes and warn against rewriting history or conflating administrative failures with intentional wrongdoing.
As the debate intensifies, the controversy is reigniting broader questions about election transparency, proportional justice, and whether consequences imposed in the aftermath of 2020 should now be reconsidered.
It has taken over 4 years, but slowly things are coming to light, and this time “with standing”.
Though probably have to run to being thoroughly proven, like the Supreme Court or such.
Prosecutions maybe?
……. During a recent hearing of the Georgia State Election Board (SEB), an attorney for the county admitted that 315,000 illegally certified votes were included in the final results of the 2020 election. …..
https://spectator.org/the-fulton-county-2020-election-bombshell/
Now one can see the more correct context, the basis of Trumps phone call to Georgia to question about, to check for voting irregularities.
So it has been a run of the “bigger the lie” keep repeating was successful, and just about got away with it, if a real dud Presidential Democrat candidate was not put to run in their over-play-confidence.
Then the unravelling started, until the success of the lie; is not.
It should help in cleaning up just what is going on in the elections in the USA.
Will there be any prosecutions? Who knows?
Sure there will be other shenaigians, but can they get away with it, and possible consequences.
An summary of what was done, & possibly just a sample of what went on.

After Maori & Muslims but still in a credible 3rd place on the totem pole of moaning & entitlement sit the cyclists.

Opening morning bag of 2012 Wairarapa road cyclist cull.
Well done surprising you could find three in the Wairarapa.
For about eighteen years from 1969, at least once a week, I was the jockey on a stock truck delivering to the Ngauranga abattoir. The Rimutakas were a challenge. 32 ton all up & 195HP to move it made for fairly slow travelling.
Not quite so slow though as the lycra clad fools on their ten speeds who were determined to claim their God & Min. of Transport given rights to wobble up the hill in the centre of the lane.
Fortunately it was in the days before compulsory holding tanks for effluent & there was seldom a shortage of watered down crap on the decks. A careful & well practised touch on the steering wheel would see the roadlice disappear under a literal shower of shit as the truck crawled passed them.
Great days. We’ll never see the like of them again. 🙂
Well done sir. I hereby nominate you for a Golden Cowpat award.

SolarZero collapse: Liquidators claw back $2.7m but creditor claims two trusts owed $979mThe liquidators for SolarZero have managed to realise more than $2.7 million from asset sales and tax rebates but that won’t be enough to fully repay the secured creditors, let alone the nearly $24m owed to unsecured creditors.
And the Public Trust is also claiming nearly $1 billion is owed to two special-purpose trusts that own most of the contracts for SolarZero’s customers.
The Kiwi-founded solar and battery firm ceased operations in December 2024 and was placed in voluntary liquidation by its sole shareholder, an investment fund controlled by US private equity giant BlackRock.
Russell Moore and Stephen Keen of Grant Thornton were appointed liquidators of six entities – all in liquidation – that made up the group.
The reason for SolarZero’s collapse was due to it being unable to generate a profit – nor did it reach breakeven, the liquidators said.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/solarzero-collapse-liquidators-claw-back-27m-but-creditor-claims-two-trusts-owed-979m/premium/B6QH25GENRCLBDC7PAPC2SXH54/
The netrics don’t look taxpayer-friendly.
The liquidators initially identified 17 secured creditors but after contacting them, some had either removed their claims, uplifted their assets or reached a settlement.
Three creditors with five security interests had filed claims totalling $2.9m.
The Public Trust, as the trustee of two special purpose vehicles, had also filed claims totalling $979m, although the liquidators had yet to adjudicate those claims.
“The claims are complex. The liquidators are yet to review, admit or determine them. The totals … are likely to include an element of double counting. Further work is ongoing on assessing the claims filed by Public Trust and updates will be provided in due course.”
NZ Green Investment Finance, a “green investment bank” created by the previous Government to fund environmentally-friendly businesses, had advanced $314,000 to cover liquidator fees and legal expenses.
Before SolarZero went into liquidation, NZGIF made a $145m debt facility available to SolarZero, as well as facilitating $220m in credit lines from international private lenders First Sentier Investors, Natixis Investment Managers and Societe Generale.
Of that $145m facility, $115m had been drawn down at the time of the liquidation.
God, I am devastated….
Selwyn council boss lured across the ditch.
Selwyn District Council chief executive Sharon Mason is set to cross the Tasman for a new role.
Mason announced her resignation last week, after two years in the role, and it was accepted at a closed extraordinary council meeting on Monday.
The City of Onkaparinga, South Australia’s largest metropolitan council, has announced the appointment of Mason as its new chief executive.
Mason’s last day at Selwyn District Council will be January 16.
She will be paid out her notice period of three months.
Eh what.
She resigns without fulfilling her contract, voluntarily resigns to go to another job and the ratepayers pay.
She should be paying them.
Who set that contract up?

THIS APPEAL BACKFIRED IN A WAY FEW EXPECTED.
In Switzerland, a woman was fined the equivalent of $100 for wearing a burqa in public. After appealing the fine on the grounds of Islamophobia, she now risks a penalty up to 12 times higher, according to court procedures.
The case stems from Switzerland’s nationwide ban on full-face coverings in public spaces.
In simple terms, wearing garments like the burqa or niqab can result in a fine under current law.
Unlike the original penalty, appealing the decision opens the door to higher court-imposed fines if the appeal is rejected.
This matters because it highlights the legal risks tied to challenging controversial laws.
Legal experts say appeals can escalate consequences when courts interpret them as procedural or symbolic challenges rather than factual disputes.
Human rights groups argue the situation discourages people from contesting laws they believe are discriminatory.
While the case is still unfolding, it has reignited debate around religious freedom, legal strategy, and proportional punishment.
A reminder that in some systems, challenging a law can come with consequences far beyond the original fine.
That’s more like it.

If all of this is considered necessary to gain your compliance —
