Defund the UN
Javier Milei to the UN:
“In this very house, that claims to defend human rights, they have allowed the entry of bloody dictatorships, like those of Cuba and Venezuela, without the slightest reproach.
“In this very house, that claims to defend the rights of women, it allows countries that punish their women for showing skin, to enter the committee for the elimination of discrimination against women.
“In this very house, there has been systematic voting against the state of Israel, which is the only country in the Middle East that defends liberal democracy, while simultaneously demonstrating a total inability to respond to the scourge of terrorism.”
I have a good feeling about the future of Argentina.

He wants to negotiate the Malvinas. With Starmer in charge, now is the time to do it. Its bloody stupid that the Islands “belong” to Britain.

Love the fraud in little Somaliland (Minneapolis )
“Sec. Noem announces the DHS investigators in Minneapolis will be looking into CHILDCARE fraud
This is after Nick Shirley shared footage going around the city and exposing childcare centers WITHOUT any children in them”
Wait till they start on other blue states.
The American deficit will soon go down and many others might find that they areshort of a dollar. The jails will not be big enough. How many will get exported. How many will have no state to go to. alligator food.
Think AML law.
Tip of the iceberg. Happening all over the blue states.
Would anyone actually want their kid in a daycare run by Somalis?
Governor of Minnesota Tim Waltz would call you a racist as he said about Nick Shirley, then as Nick Shirley said to a FoxNews panel:—-
….. Tim wants votes …….
………. “And if you have 100,000 people that will vote for you because you’re going to enable and let this stuff happen
and because you’re going to call white person racist for calling out facts,
this is what’s going to happen to a state like Minnesota.” …….

Now what suburbs around NZ with the backing of academia, amplified by the leaning schools of flatfish media, have such similarity from native to imported along with the enabling snout in the trough for institutions & organisations.
now back in lil old nz our govt should be checking out all the taxpayer funded maori trusts and organisations that dont seem to be helping maori one bit (except the maori administration.) it would be a safe bet money flows from them into a bros or nephs bank account to provide non existent services.
Yup.
“According to Waipareira Trust’s own annual reporting, 13.3 full-time equivalent senior managers earned an average of around $510,000 a year”
Why isn’t the SFO or someone all over this? This is gross misappropriation of taxayer funds.
https://matuakahurangi.com/p/maori-poverty-pays-very-well-if-you?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email#media-0ddff84e-76e4-42ec-ad04-f0b7e6b7d288
Not defending this, but the govt. has allocated the funds to them without requiring public results that are provable.
There are no boundaries on where or what the money is spent on.
Happens all the time.
We have community Trusts and a regional council that hand out money for “good causes” but are rarely, if ever held accountable for the spending.
This sort of gifting destroyed the fabric we had of organisations like Round Table, Jaycees, 10000 clubs and Lions International.
These organisations worked alongside the community, freely giving their time, labour and expertise to the community, but have been almost eliminated from society now, sadly.
The money replaced self-responsibility. I watched as pokie machine trusts, Lotto and lots of government handouts did the destruction.
As a Lions member for many years, I can say that Lions International was a great organisation. You visit many countries and cities and go along to the local meeting and meet like-minded people. It was an organisation of people meeting people. Met so many amazing people.
Round Table was slightly different, as was Jaycees, but often we would join together on projects for the betterment of the community.
Tauranga was much the better for this.
Now it’s write letters and beg.
No effort required, no accountability required and no personal responsibility for making sure of the results.
Hence, we have Fraud. Government-sponsored fraud.
and in lock step we have seen beneficent organisations like Salvation Army get taken over by textbook commies
as part of the march through the institutions.
A welsh cunt in NZ.
Green peace the same
Amnesty Intl;
OxFam that have two scum MPs as Directors
Phyliss Twyford
and Gween MP Barry Coates
are dodgy and spend most of the receipts on themselves; travle symposiums and other shite .
V2, I agree with you, Government funding has destroyed Service Clubs in this country and the fabric of Community Service which went with it. As a member of Takapuna Round Table No20 for many years and latterly as a Rotarian in the BOP, Gold Coast and the darkest King Country, I have seen the demise of these great organisations through the largess of Central and Local Government. They regretfully and the good they did in and for the Community will never, now return.
I’m sure black power a Mongrel mob step into the breach and continued the good work.
Of course these community minded specimens step right on up and help out for a better life.
Just like this darker shade of white community minded piece of shit.

Why is taxpayer funding not given with a clear and agreed set of KPIs, that are audited annually? With real consequences for significant deviations?
Regardless, how do organisations like the Waipareira Trust even get to act as charities, given that their funding is exclusively from taxpayers and the charity is directed solely at Maori?
To qualify as a charity the “charitable purpose must also provide a public benefit, which means a benefit that is:
available to the public or a sufficient section of the public – for example, people living in a particular geographical area, or with particular charitable needs.”
Maori on a marae or poor urban Maori do not represent either the public or a sufficient section of the public IMO. They’re closed groups – both are only open to Maori and only in certain circumstances. They’re not like a tram restoration society, say, where anyone can join and pitch in.
It’s possibly reasonable that organisations representing such closed groups (Muslim charities are another example), could receive charitable funding directly from the public or from private organisations, but NOT receive taxpayer money.
My preference is they all pay tax at the rate everyone else does…except Maori Authorities…
Why is taxpayer funding not given with a clear and agreed set of KPIs, that are audited annually?
even three yearly
or five yearly .
a dedicated team that audits 5 yearly these outfits
any stalling like te partly maori, 6 months to comply, or defund for the next 5 years.
no if, buts or appeals .
you had your chance .
we need some Lee Kwan Yew shit raining down
Teams with one third made up from audit teams of the big CA forms (reputation, liability, insured)
on secondment
and staff rotated regularly so they don’t get too entrenched
..a pipe dream…I know
but a method that would be more than self funding in directing funds to the actual need
and NO Indians
fuck no.
If we only had some fucking finance ministers who understood actual finance and commerce, esp from a fraud perspective
they should be knowledgeable on fraud; it is massive in NZ
so never far away from it .
and if any principles are found to be misusing money, any organisation they are associated with in the next five years are defunded.
I repeat
Lee kwan Yew the fuckers
however, politicians, local and national, and their staffers
use these outfits between gigs when the people reject them and their shitty ways .
look how many liebour MPs ousted in 2023 went scarpering back to the Unions , like the rats they are.
It’s the maori mafia is what it is. Everybody’s too scared to touch them. It’s pathetic. People like Tamihere are robbing everyone blind in full view and flipping us the bird. He makes his brother look good.
It’s always those misappropriating govt funds who complain the loudest – Elon Musk
Any critic looking too closely receives accusations of racism or other insult to shut their criticism down.
Where are the improved lives for their poor, mismanaged maori clients? Why are babies still dying and nobody cares? Charities ‘farming’ the target group is financially much more profitable than saving the great unwashed.
Example: Californian are masters at wasting NGO spending and not succeeding:

Is Anyone Actually Winning In Politics Right Now | Damien Grant & Ani O’Brien
New Zealand politics enters an election year under pressure, and in this episode Duncan Garner is joined by Ani and Damian to unpack where the government stands and why public confidence remains low.
“The only green shoots are from all the rotting corpses of failed businesses”
I’m noticing many more “For Lease” signs in the commercial section of Glen Innes. There is also a huge housing development in the area, building 3-story rabbit hutches with outdoor parking. (Old people don’t like stairs.)
Yet there seems to be a lot of money being spent in the bars and cafes in Kohimarama and St. Heliers.
Mission Bay is full of Indian tourists (used to be Chinese a decade ago).
I am glad I retired last year.
Those 3-story shit houses are going up everywhere.
Someone must take a bath soon.
In one short st not far from me, there are what were 2 sections that now have 19 of the local shit boxes in them. The police just about live there. Along the road, about 150 mtrs, there are 8 more on one section and in between on the opposite side, there is another lot just started.
In my own st, they removed two good houses and built 9 with again same shit occupants. Around the corner, a block with a lot, possibly 18 or 20. Same deal.
And that’s all with a small radius.
The biggest demand here is for one and two-bedroom units. But no, we get chicken boxes.
Thanks, Labour and National.
socialism at its finest.
And you know what’s worse.
We taxpayers subsidise the tenants regardless of income.
Like naaska I reckon we should cut that right back.
I also think we should find a way to allow people to have more children instead of importing them.
Fund kiwi born Nationals only.
meh, easier to contain the scum in 1 small area. at least the cops wont have to travel 1 side of town to other for callouts.
doesn’t work. Like jails it perpetuates the problem.
That was the theory. NZ was initially stratified by caste & income as the more well to do abandoned the inner city for the new suburbs of the early 20th century. Fifty years later when state housing was replacing inner city slums the lower classes moved too.
The closest NZ has come to egalitarian communities was in the 60s & 70s when the ‘nappy valleys’ which were mostly Beazley or Keith Hay owner occupier dwellings were pepper potted with state houses. This was done as part of a social engineering experiment aimed at integrating society.
Rogernomics & the canning of State Advance loans killed the dream. The pride of home ownership dissipated as rapacious private landlords took over. The suburbs of privately owned bungalows & the well tended gardens reflecting the pride that home ownership brings turned into ghettos of poorly maintained, graffiti covered rental shit. The scum of society coalesced & bred.
Then it carried on further downhill.
Sky kennels 🏭
Those 3-story houses make Japanese suburban houses seem luxurious. They are so close together that a ninja could leap across from one rooftop to the next without touching the ground.
My son lives in Birkdale and has just had a house in front of him demolished and 7 3 story “shitboxes” built in it’s place. Driving around the area the other day there are multiple other similar developments.

Wasn’t it nice?
Could sleep in and not have to think about watering the garden today.
A young man is preparing for a date and has reason to hope that by the end of the evening he will no longer be a virgin. He decides that he needs to buy some condoms just in case things go the way he would like.
At the pharmacy, he seeks out a male clerk, waits until nobody else is nearby, and quietly asks where he can find the condoms. He’s told that they are available at the pharmacy counter. When he gets there, he sees that the pharmacist is a woman. He is so embarrassed at the thought of asking a woman about condoms that he almost leaves the store. But, thinking about that evening’s possibilities, he decides to tough it out, so he gets in line.
When it’s his turn at the counter, he stammers out his request in a whisper.
The pharmacist says, “Sorry, please speak up.”
So he says, a little louder, “A package of condoms, please.”
Of course, the pharmacist asks him, in a normal voice that can be heard by everyone in line behind him, what kind of condoms he wants. Quickly catching on that her customer is rather ignorant on the subject of condoms, she goes on to explain the choices. He is feeling more and more like he is going to die of embarrassment.
Finally, he makes his selection and she rings it up. “With tax, that comes to $3.95.”
The young man is horrified and loudly exclaims, “Tacks?! I thought they stayed on by themselves!”
Very few years is the weather ever any good at this time of the year.
It may be good somewhere, but in general, it’s shit. concerts in mud, campers going home and on and on.
Why are holidays slated for the most unsettled time of the year?
Because it suits the religious fruit cakes and the teachers. Who else.
Why don’t we just have a day off and go back to work as many do? If we must have a day off. Many faiths don’t.
Why do we have a day off for the New Year, Boxing Day ( I have no idea what we need that day or the day after New Year)?
Just another waste of productive time.
But we do what we have always done and behave stupidly.
Much more reform needed.
Better to have those days in February when the weather is settled, when the temperature is nice and when we can enjoy ourselves in the sun.
Same for Easter. Out dated religious bullshit.
Tauranga cancels five community New Year’s Eve events, fireworks still possible. doubt it.
Do you shut down your curtain factory ….
1- Christmas
2.- February
3.- No fixed holiday period.
15 days because there are no customers during that time. They all go to weather events.
The rest of the time, people take during the year, July and August are the best time for us.
Go to warm places or ski, depending on their desire.
I remember when I was working in a factory office late 60’s and the factory would shut down over Christmas – one day before Christmas, 9 days after plus the 4 stats. I used to look at them when they returned and think poor bastards, that’s it for another year. Think I was on 3 weeks so had one up my sleeve.
stat days at most then back to work imo, i dont see why even the need to have a break in feb? let ppl decide when to use their annual leave. i rekon do away with all public holidays and just add another week of annual leave. public holidays are a cunt of an idea and just ruin momentum.
NZ has 12 public holidays a year including the local anniversary day
AU has 9 to 13 depending on the State
VIC the highest (to most socialist, with days off for the Melbourne cup and day before AFL Grand final !!)
USA has about 11, again regional, and some days are optional paid days, by state . In some cases no requirement for the employer to pay for these days .
one extra week is piss poor SB, need 2.5 weeks .
Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe!

Gull, NPD merger will drive down gas prices, companies say
tell im he’s dreaming !
most of these independents are supplied buy Mobil.
Waitomo, Allied and I think NPD among many others .
the scribblers will write what they are told coz they cant think for themselves .
Mobil own Waitomo and Allied from memory
“Waitomo” 100% owned by the Ormsby family so is independent since buying out the Mobil stake back in 2004
This part of the Ormsby family are a very canny business orientated family, showing their skills back in 1947.
https://kingcountrynews.co.nz/2025/09/a-supreme-disruptor/
Another part of the Ormsby family have worked themselves into the Mahuta part. Enough said.
“Allied Petroleum” is only a part of the larger, privately-owned HWR Group (HW Richardson Group), a major New Zealand company with interests in transport, concrete, and petroleum, based in Southland.
Acquired full ownership of Allied Petroleum in 2004.
Mobil-Exxon seems to be looking to quietly exit NZ.
After all what is the point? No refinery. Restricted oil & gas exploration.
It is simply all over.
So those 2 independents are looking to be in a more larger connection to be better positioned to be able to negotiate for supply, after Mobil-Exxon may well pull out.
Just compare & contrast the total rebuilds, upgrading the gas service stations in Te Kuiti, in the past decade by BP, with a truck-stop.
Shell, “Z” with another truck-stop, nigh across from a Caltex truckstop.Even Gull arriving in Te Kuiti.
While the old Mobil part is no more than 2 gas pumps, which is kept alive as the adjacent New World supermarket links in with a discount scheme.
Though funnily enough “Waitomo” is not much more than a truck-stop, in Te Kuiti, but why spend money in the very competively priced Te Kuiti, when there are other places to buy up & challenge.
Good on them, as it has helped keep gas stations going in rural areas, along with farm delivery, which seemed to be the original base, & now gaining ground elsewhere as well.
I tend to stop at Te Kuiti Gull on that route .
price competitive.
if I need a loo stop there are 2 public ones on Main Street.
for Quick food I’ll use maccas at the Otorohanga intersection with #39.
Levin became competitive when Gull moved in
BP sometimes even drop their eye watering prices there .
Mobil seem to keep in line with Gull and there is full service .
Well bugger me the suns out. still blowing though.
They are coming to get nasska. More climate change modelling BS. A really good reason to close Regional Councils.
https://www.1news.co.nz/2025/12/29/thousands-of-wairarapa-properties-on-track-to-be-classified-flood-prone/
Meh. Like most of NZ, Wairarapa towns were built adjacent to rivers with little regard to the risks of flooding. The land they sit on is a floodplain created by sediment eroded from the Tararuas that form the western boundary.
Some areas are more prone to flooding than others. Instance Greytown which was built on a swamp braided with flood channels. Parts of Eastern Masterton are no better.
We should see the exercise in induced panic for what it really is. An excuse for bloated insurance companies to offload risks & increase premiums.
When you look around NZ, many cities and towns were built on flood plains –best example is Christchurch. But also Hastings , Palmerston North, Lower Hutt etc etc
Being built on flood plains, next to a river, or have a river pass through the city is not the issue.
The issue is one of maintenance. Dredging and removing the build up of sediment, rocks, stones, greenery etc.
The Thames in the UK was not flood prone until in the mid-late 90’s Green lobbyists had the maintenance stopped. “You can’t dredge the Thames. You will upset the 17 snails that live on the bottom.”
And so in the early 2000s the Thames flooded London. The Mayor of London apologised to the City of London point out that lack of dredging and maintenance was responsible for the flooding, because woke Greens had hijacked he council. He restored dredging and maintenance.
Similar onset of flooding due to stopped dredging and maintenance, thanks to woke Greens activism,has happened around the western world. The ones that immediately spring to mind are the Murray and Grey rivers in Australia, our own Avon River in Christchurch, the Ashburton river, and many other rivers in NZ.
What is worse, is farms that adjoin the rivers, pay an extra levy annually (for ECAN’T in Canterbury) to maintain the rivers/river beds. They took the money,. year after year, and spent it on other things.
Correct.
I have spent some time talking to the engineer that designed the stopbanks and flood control scheme in our area.
Over the last twenty years the maintenance has been slack and accumulated problems were a big factor in the failure of the system.
He said if things had been maintained and with other steps that were planned but not put in to effect , then the flooding would have meant much less damage.
One river channel he showed me has willows that were supposed to slow water but have taken over to an extent that they now block flow. Large areas of shingle buildup were left and the depth in the channel allowed less water to flow.
The council have banned staff from talking to him .
He exposed so many issues to me that explained why particular parts of the scheme failed. Brilliant guy to talk to.
There was serious flooding on the East coast of England in 2015
and this was largely due to non dredging .
often shallow waterways already
as England is largely flat .
a lot was blamed on EU directives (universally stupid anyway)
and therefore in the BRexit vote a year later in 2016, people remembered.
Your argument for dredging is valid but somewhat ignores the fact that nature is carrying on doing what it always has. We only have the flat land needed by agriculture & demanded by towns/cities wishing to expand because the hills erode into & fill the valleys. The rivers are merely the conduit.
One of the advantages of retiring comfortably off is being able to tick things off a longer bucket list. One of mine was an hour in a chartered chopper flying over the Tararuas & following the Ruamahanga River to the sea. It is not until you see the immense screes of rubble in the headwaters of the contributory rivers that you realise that the formation of NZ is a work in progress.
Same for the Orongorongo River. Huge screes of rock eroding from the hills.
Hutt River is the same. Indeed, most rivers in NZ.
What you have to factor in, though, is the uplifts between the hills. e.g. Lower Hutt and Petone.
The Hutt Valley lifts up, so the next lift will create another problem for them. It will squeeze the river closer to the hill.
I think Wairarapa is the same. Never remember Greytown flooding, but certainly towards Teherinilau. The road used to go under every winter, but people used to try to drive through and got stuck.
The cocky there used to charge them to pull them out.
Talking about uplifts.
people don’t remember or think about what happened in the 1931 earthquake.
The land on the plains lifted about 2 metres thus affecting the fall of the rivers.
Very significant in slowing the gravel movement downstream.
Clever cocky!
Charge stupid townies!
SH2 at Jenkins Dip where the orchards & fruit/vege stalls were (just North of Greytown towards Platform Farm) was closed regularly when the Waiohine topped its banks further upstream.
Sometimes they let trucks through, sometimes not. but it was a lottery.
But in the early days the town was often flooded. The main road was built on a platform of totara trunks laid across to form a solid base. They’re still there.
humans built near waterways that have been naturally moving for millions of years and then go against nature and prevent the movement and containing flood waters within stopbanks.
around here the gravel buildup is getting very noticeable, i think they do it on purpose so they can gaslight and blame climate change for the resulting big floods.
theyve removed lots of willows near/through town to try speed up floodwaters to move gravel but the problem lies 20+km upstream.
i spend lots of time in the headwaters and its amazing the power of water and what it can move. entire beaches can appear/disappear after only a fairly average flood, the monster floods carve up the banks and can move massive boulders.
Interesting fact – I believe the Waikato river used to empty into the Firth of Thames.
To consider that when that “left turning” river did that
It would have destroyed a brackish unique, rich ecosystem ecological niche contained in the estuary.
Dooming many species that relied on that flow of fresh water mix.
These “changes” should never be allowed to happen. 🙃
As it is so sad to consider that the sea currents & fast changing tides would so quickly dissapate & wreck havoc on the “kindly” life giving effects of fresh water.
After all Maui & his brothers never considered that when scientifically beating up the North Island, Te Ika-a-Māui, with their paddles.
One problem with concrete floors is you can’t lift them higher to escape the water.
And yet my concrete floor allowed easy removal of silt. Fire brigade made a hole in the wall and washed it out.
Those with piles had one hell of a job getting rid of silt from under the floor.
A point carefully ignored by architects & fans of “indoor- outdoor flow” nationwide. Even a modest 450mm clearance between floor & ground level is going to keep the hose dry in 90% of floods.
As an aside there’s a classic example of a homeowner with applied intelligence alongside SH12 about halfway between Dargaville & Ruawai. A normal 1000sq ft house sitting on pine poles about 2.5metres above the nearby Wairoa River.
It can be done.

As some would say, Fuck the butt-hurt, whistle-blowers of no standing.
They get what they deserve as in the above case.
Sort of makes one figure why the Tom Phillips Inquiry is so narrowly focused, while wild accusations of abuse like “monster” can still be flung about by various authorities.
While the sweet innocent wife can tip a car into a drain as proven in a court case, & of course she had to drink because she so missed her kids as all the medical physcologist experts will point out.
While at another time the same experts would say of some one else, that “what if the kids were in the car?” “What if the drain was full of water?” “The kids would have been drowned.” “The community would have been responsible for the kid’s death” and all so expertly stated that we have to have the government implement further policies into their money demanding ‘quangos’.
One may point a finger at an ethnic, racist or religiost group, but here look at the enablers.

At least in the USA they can question & even challenge Judges, if they are bothered.
Otherwise one gets the government they deserve.
In NZ would seem to be impossible.
So that in NZ the small corruption can be entrenched.
“From little things, Big things will grow.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Little_Things_Big_Things_Grow
Which over the decades grew to even the “Yes vote” in the Australian referendum.
Which although lost, many politicians & bureaucracy are enacting any way.
So one has to realize, that some things have to be totally uprooted, and the seeds burnt.
This will be at the heart of the Judge’s decisions. Because of the TPS the scum can’t be deported. Just like the so called refugees that stink up NZ.
“Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is a government protection granted by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to eligible foreign-born individuals who are unable to return home safely due to conditions or circumstances preventing their country from adequately handling the return.”
Fortunately Trump has shitbagged the legislation as it applies in Minnesota.

It also sounds like it is across the ditch in Australia with money spilling out from the systemic CentreLink, & their health & kindergarten concepts.
All those uber drivers, chartered mini vans etc., here in New Zealand. …. hmmmm ……
So we find the “new normal” & becomes institutionalized.
So we can deny “whistle-blowers” any standing.
“This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore.
A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong.
And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies.
With such a people, you can do whatever you want.”
– Hannah Arendt, (1906-1975)
And inevitably even we are too often & unwittingly dragged along to a certain point of acceptance; sometimes kicking & screaming, but still being influenced to some level.
Introducing third world refugees to western nations is a little like adding shit to ice cream. It doesn’t improve the shit & it fucks the ice cream.
Have you tried it the other way?
Also like having a jar of 100 jelly beans, but you know that just 1 contains a deadly poison.
Do you share out that jar of 100 jelly beans?
If & when 1 of your friends, cuzzies, bros, neighbours dies and can it can be proven to be from that type of poison; which way will the Judge & Jury decide ? ?
Accidental, Manslaughter or Murder?
I know it depends on what country one is in?
And just was it a dozy go to sleep death or an agonizing screaming death.
Then to what will the sentence be?
Again it will depend on what country, home detention, supervision, jail & available parole or no Parole.
Where execution is possible???
Yet all our systemic compliant institutions, from the UN to local Parliament, & NGO’s plead ignorance in their arrogance, for their incompetance that seems to be a part of malfeasance as they globe trot around the world from conference to conference to a gold plated superannuation.
No concern or consideration of the victim, the family etc.. or even the community,
Designed to make people lose trust, that wrecks societal norms.
A classic example of how the mana of the facial tattoo has been degraded over the years. Now it’s nothing more than chin scribble on ferals.

$20,000 here. $1780 there. It’s a cultural thing!
The real issue though is the name suppression bid which as near as we can tell nearly succeeded. The whole idea of open justice is that offenders should known for their actions & the public made aware of the risks involved in trusting them in the future.
If justice in the USA can cope without any name suppression for any reason then so can ours!
“Yep, yip, that is what it is”
Toi moko, or mokomokai, the price of mana sold out; as was done with tattooed slave heads, nigh on about circa 200 years ago.
Then ‘trick & treating’ NZ’ers of how important mana was, to return the heads, with heaps of free travel, & paid for celebrations etc., that their ancestors mocked & sold to start with & did defraud abusing those slaves to defraud the purchasers.
Just a recycled virtue signal like all the large plastic tiki wearers.
Proving again, mark of another fraudster, thief, etc.. . as she had done once, before, then did similar again.

at nasska does his usual whinge about landlords
wa wa wa
12,14 pm today
Rogernomics & the canning of State Advance loans killed the dream. The pride of home ownership dissipated as rapacious private landlords took over.
nasman seems to have a blind spot there despite being across most other topics and history so well.
His Mastermind topic is ” Religions, are they bastards or gods ? “

AI Overview
Home ownership rates vary globally, but in New Zealand, they rose slightly to 66.0% in 2023
after falling to a 70-year low in 2018 (64.5%),
with increases seen outside major centers like Auckland,
which remains lowest at around 59.5%,
driven by affordability.
Rates are significantly higher for older populations and lower for Māori and Pacific peoples, highlighting disparities.
Key Figures & Trends (New Zealand)
2023 Rate: 66.0% (up from 64.5% in 2018).Peak: 73.8% in 1991.Lowest Point: 64.5% in 2018, the lowest since the 1950s.————————-
analysing that
the 1950s were low home ownership
then State advances, as stated, capitalise family benefit , building societies and other non-bank
-1950s low
-by 1975 about 70%
-rogernomics 1984 opened up banks to be more proactive in lending;
not as lenient as the 21st century but better than the stodgy ways pre 1984
therefore 1991 peak homeownership 73.8%
this was 7 years after R/nomics
but ownership was steady at about 73.6 % from 1986 to 1991
but in 1989/90 house prices dropped as NZ economy declined badly
by 1991 the recession was deep:- layoffs, and unemployment
12% plus in many regions
jobs had been eliminated under rogernomics .
1991 – a weak economy – deliberate from notional/bolger/richardson
then1990s crab walked under notional .
Lowest Point: 64.5% in 2018.. so that was after 9 years of notional and shonkey and his band of pirates
pretty disgraceful if one looks at the origins of notional 90 years ago ; as viewed from 2026
then it picked up again under liebour
enhanced by very low interest rates 2020/21
to 2023
then house price decline
and we have the notional cunts again.
but in reality
from circa 70% home ownership in 1975
to
66% in 2023
it only moved 4% downwards
in 48 years
5 decades
half a century
more than 2 generations
not a lot really .
a good chart

A cogent argument presented well.
But WHO now lives in the 66% of the housing stock still in the hands of owner occupiers? State Advances were highly active in the 60s & 70s yet the loans were very much targeted & the qualifying conditions were tight. Married couples with children, neither could have previously had a financial interest in a house, working with upper & lower income levels & a deposit though this could take the form of the capitalised family benefit. Freehold ownership of a section was another route to acquiring a deposit.
As a consequence a very high percentage of new home owners were families with maybe two to five kids. Contrast that with today’s occupants who are as likely to be retired couples or mad women with six cats.
I know of no way to access statistics to back up my hypothesis but I’ll wager gold coins to pellets of goat shit that the average number of people housed in each rental unit has risen greatly against those accommodated in each owner/occupier equivalent.
Most families are smaller than then.
Average 2.3 per house these days.
More kids flatting now.
More oldies in rest homes.
