There should have been a warning on both those memes this morning Ed/////
Morning all have a lovely day and be safe.
Lizzie, that first photo is enough to place anyone into the Secure Wing of the Twilight Home..
Dark here, a bit of wind, no rain, a day of enjoyment with friends. Tomorrow is another story.
I would rather have the ladies above on the bags!
One on each side. I would buy a dozen.
Ladies, ladies.
I didn’t see any ladies.
I was been exceptionally polite!
Heavenly creatures, makes Three Pairs of “ladies”.
This will be the Coalition Governments fault, nothing surer.
The fact that KiwiRail’s maintenance programme is probably very suspect and equipment failure is a result, will not come into it

All with in sight of the wharf it left from!
Don’t they do a preflight check like aeroplanes,
You now wiggle the rudder, alerions, flaps and shit?
They do there is steering and pitch checks to be done before entering and exiting ports/confined waters. There is very little excuse for that. The vessel in question has 2 engines and props, you can run one ahead one astern to make it turn. Im also damn sure it has a bow thruster or 2 so they could have used that to push the nose around. If all used together you can turn a vessel very quickly. Not to mention that as they are right next to the port why was the harbour tugs not dispatched Im picking incompetence is a large part of this but wont/cant say for sure
2 bow thrusters in the pic.
good Lord I find myself agreeing with Jack Tame.

They are employing a lot of imports as engineers on the vessels, they have little to no idea on what they are doing according to the info ive been given. They cant get kiwis as the pay rate is too low. Any one with an engineers ticket worth their salt has gone to Australia.
It’s probably quite fortuitous that Simeon Brown, only this week, gave them a bollicking about the state of their maintenance.
He hasn’t sacked any of them for being incompetent yet. until he does nothing changes.
He will be waiting for the expert committee to tell him what is already obvious so he can grow a pair.
At what continuing cost to the taxpayer?
Seems to be the case now with all Simeon’s ventures.
Form a committee.
Just make Kapiti expressway 110 or 120 km /hr
Gazette it and make it live on horses birthday.
TBH people do 110 there anyway.
When I drive south I use the cruise control where I can.
Sitting on 99 km/hr by the time I am on the EWY I regular get passed and my trusty Cobra does not pick up any speed cameras. It is kind of like it is just left alone, to be realistic.
Is someone counting the notional committee numbers like the 162 or what ever formed by liebour in the 2017 to 2020 period ?
Yes, but labor party made a mint getting the tilth from committe members. Free travel from the provinces, 5 star accommodation, crown limo to the committe meetings and sex parties every night! They were only too happy to tilthe.
As someone who enjoys a good trip across the strait every other year to have a long road trip holiday in the South Island I can hand in heart say the last trips on the ferry back in October last year was the worst. The original sailing was cancelled due to unexpected maintenance and we had to be bumped to a later in the day sailing. Because the ferry we then caught was not able to take the direct shorter journey, we had an extra 30-40 minutes going the long way into the sound.
Coming back we changed our sailing to an earlier time and ended up on the same ship as the first journey.
It was the first time the Mrs said she was over catching the ferry.
I’m serious when I say it’s gone down hill in the last 6 years. I wonder if the kiwirail board had Labours reverse Midas touch flunkies appointed.
De ja vue really.
Travelled across from Wellington back around 1972 moving to Motueka and on that trip the ferry hit the bottom. Remember it. Of course all was denied at the time but there was no doubt that it did. Was turning to reverse in after missing the first shot. Can’t remember if it was windy or not. Long time back.
Do you travel with NZ rail or Blue Bridge!
No Bluebridge in 1972, Sooty
Brian, one only has to look at the Board of KiwRail, full of Lawyers, Bankers and Labour Party Stooges, none of whom has an ounce of experience in either running a Rail system nor a Shipping Company.
Just look at these two Board members for example.
1. Maryan Street – ex Labour MP and Labour Lackey.
2. David McLean, Banker. Mr McLean, according to the KiwiRail Governance Board Website, is most proud of this achievement:
“During his time at Westpac David promoted a number of diversity and inclusion initiatives. David is a member of the National Advisory Council on the Employment of Women.”
Now what benefit is this into running the major infrastructure Rail and Shipping Company in this country? None and no expertise or experience either in the organisation he is Chairman of the Board, thereof. But if you want expertise in “Diversity” and “Womans Affairs”, Dave is your man.
No wonder KiwiRail is a fucked organisation.
https://www.kiwirail.co.nz/who-we-are/our-leadership/governance-board/
Now you are beginning to see Kiwi Rails problems.
The arsewipes of Labour sacked Reidy’s previous boss and installed all those fucking useless socialists into the place.
If you keep an eye on what Kiwi rail are actually doing they are working bloody hard to update the rail which has had no money invested in the equipment for many years.
Almost daily I see the new gear and the difference it makes to us here. Our roads are full of trucks carting containers and logs and the more we get rid of the better.
Tainui (bless them), have built a huge park in the outskirts of Hamilton to handle freight into containers to rail to the port, and Quayside Holdings which owns a chunk of POT have started on a project south of Te Puke to do the same. That is a 20 year project.
There is no reason logs should be stored at our port and fumigated in the middle of Prime Real estate. They can be railed in to the dockside to meet the loading schedule and the sooner the better. The Mount has a big problem with air pollutants from shipping and port related activities.
As an aside to that, remember all those tanks that were once on the waterfront in Auckland? Ever wonder where they all went? Come for a look down in the POT area. Its now a tank farm which is rather sneaky.
and now we have politicians interfering again in operation decisions. We have an English Literature Major making major decisions on our infrastructure. Brown seems to be fixer of everything imaginable much like Mallard was. As for Goldsmith, well a slight movement left and he would fit right in next to Hippy.
Of course they have an “expert” group looking at it. Cairns was CEO POT.
They should have sacked the chairman and some of the others and put Cairns in charge but they won’t, they will find some Nat follower who will tell them what they want to know.
You got what you voted for. More backsliding and lack of fortitute.
Good summary
You say
…You got what you voted for…
well only 38% voted for notional last October and in the intervening 8 months this number has not increased. They have done SFA to bring more on board.
the peculiarity of MMP is that liebour became coalition leader in 2017 with a similar 37.9% in 2017.
I suspect you would be lucky to find even 38% of regular contributors to YSB voted for nudenuts neutered ninnies.
Yes, Simeon Brown at 33 yrs old seems to be Mr fixit.
The Bill Birch of the 2020s.
One would like to think…NOT like Steven Joyce of the 2010s
There are bugger all other ministers with any useful ability, so he is IT !
Goldsmith is academically able but this does not translate to pragmatism.
A complete YES man. He has stood aside for many elections to allow ACT to take Epsom. He is a wind up toy.
Reminds me of a phrase from early in my career–academically brilliant; socially unacceptable!
Mclean was useless at Westpac, worst customer experience of the Banks and was then replaced with another useless token woman.
Anz had a Great leader, replaced by wanker banker Key wo resigned cause the tank was empty again in time to dodge their dogdey dealing over a bond Issue. Never forget Key was a person involved in attempting the bankrupt NZ when he was in New York.
The jew wanker banker johnny keys is indeed a traitor.
His whole track record pointed to that .
No good was ever done by that prick.
Net zero promises ever fulfilled.
As time goes by I have developed more respect for Klarkenfuhrer. She opposed the foreshore and seabed uprising; put the uppity maori in their place, had a measure of J Tamihere; and refused to sign UNDRIP.
Keys reversed all this work that has now led to our apartheid that was heavily fertilised under the vicious bitch adern.
Not that I could cross the road to actually like Klarkenfuhrer. She is not the likeable type.
There are political idiots in this country who ‘think’ Keys could walk on water. They also tend to have TDS.
He was solid in the rapid decline of notional and the endorsement of some extremely low grade Nat MPs .
The pinko, fruity farrar , ran a strong parallel path with Keys.
2 jews working on the destruction of western civilisation. Quelle surprise!!!
I do surmise that keys would have been handed deals that made him rich, so he never had to worry about money again. It was standard practice. Send a good deal or two his way to make squillions. We openly know this is the gig for senior Uniparty politicians in the USA, now.
I have much more time for Philip Burdon who was a self made multi millionaire that produced a product people wanted to purchase
without a doubt brian it has poo fingers all over it, imo its bout time kiwirail got removed from the ferries responsibilities and just focus on destroying rail only.
Heard this morning that Transpower are setting out the terms of reference and scope of the enquiry into the toppled tower. The results of the investigation should be known by the end of next month.
So half an hour to work out who undid the bolts, and 5 weeks to work out how to cover their arses.
And in the meantime that old chestnut: “No comment because there’s an investigation underway”.
sums it up well saggy but you forgot the 1 week of explaining how matauranga maori and te ao maori shouldve been incorporated and wouldve prevented it happening.
Throw some koha at it. Bound to solve all the issues.
Transpower need to weed out the morons before they send them out on maintenance work. Too late now.
Start the weeding out at the top with Mary the CEO the No 1 to go.
They say a fish rots from the head, in this case wokeness rots from the top down, so many rotten woke CEO’s that have no grip on reality anymore
They will also have their hand out for compenation due to hardship, damages to the land etc
TAH@0751
Sadly, this is nothing new and has been going on for years. As you correctly point out, with one very small exception, (Street – and then only in relation to ‘staff’ matters), none of these individuals have any ‘rail’ experience and indeed, due to their backgrounds (Air NZ, ‘Transport consultancy’) it could be strongly-suggested that they could actually be operating in direct opposition to the very transport system they are now in control of., in a manner similar to what happened when Toll (A trucking firm) got hold of Kiwirail and proceeded to gut it, before selling it back to the NZ Government for $1!!
It would appear that these people are literally ‘Only there for the money and Perks’, and until that changes, things are only likely to get worse. Since he’s ex Air NZ, don’t expect luxflakes to change the current line-up.
Diversity hires. Communists believe anyone can do any job they’re placed in. Trouble arises because THAT IS A LOAD OF BOLLOCKS!
This country was built by clever people with a No.8 wire ability to see a problem and fix it. Now they are running it by incompetent committees on FEELZ on a shoestring budget because they’ve run the economy into the ground.
NZ actually had a good bureaucracy from the 1930s to the 1980s
This was ruined by Rogernomics.
Now these pricks are out for themselves and trade favours with ‘mates’ to all have favours in their pockets for when tough times comes. Bugger the country.
When you look at what was achieved in the 1930s depression with all that surplus cheap labour – tunnels, roading, forestry
That was some forward thinking, and organisation. The workers had the tools and resources to get he job done. These were not basic make work schemes.
Often the workers lived in crude camps but they had work and a place to sleep.
The development of roads, dams and electricity supply followed.
It got done.
Auckland has not built a water dam since 1977. 47 years ago. The existing are getting old.
There is a series I believe shown on NZ teevee but made by NZ on screen.

Making New Zeraland
Excellent docos.
Most fade in the last ten minutes; but packed with info .
In the 1970s when ‘Mother’ England (wrecking itself as well at the time) told NZ it wanted to play house with Europe, the Dairy Board execs got off their bottys and found new markets.
Could you imagine the dumb arse overpaid chumps at Fonterror doing that ?
Still 14,000 new but useless bureacraps imposed on NZ by ardern to be terminated with two benefits, one savings in salaries, office and running costs, two – unemployed bureacraps have the opportunity to show they can be useful by getting a productive job/business or by failing prove they are the useless drongos we think they are.
Komata, just to correct you on one point, Toll bought KiwiRail for a pittance and sold it back to the Government for $690 million, in an absolutely knackered state. The Government then had to spend multi millions to get it back into any sort of operational state.
Yep and are still spending.
Their spending is not something that is a quick fix, it takes years.
And there is plenty to do.
Airnz needs a couple of planes so they go lease them. Rail doesn’t have that same opportunity as all Airnz has to do is shift passengers and freight. If it had to own its own terminals and roading then it would have failed a long time ago.
Rail is an on the ground thing and has to content with the land structures of NZ.
It could maybe lease ferries and even loco’s and may do so but it still has to build stations, yards and lines etc.
A tough ask IMHO. especially when not in favour with people like the Nats and left to lefties who have no idea.
From my bouncing around vessels throughout NZ it appears that all companys have become reactive rather than proactive with maintence and inferstructure. Most of the vessels are at the point of needing millions spent on them or sent off to the breakers yard. We are becoming the dumping ground for knackerd things. Nz has decent port inferstructure but is underutalised, when on a container vessel it was often that we could have had a lot more boxes on it than we did as it still seems they would rather road ship them than sea freight
An integrated freight system using the best of Road Rail and sea should be NZ long term plan. Perhaps talk to a sucessful profitable operator who treat staff well eg Mainfreight would be a good start.
NZ rail is a different gauge from everywhere.
So yes you can lease ferries, but only for trucks!
Rip the tracks, have off site truck park and a dedicated truck corridor into Wellington.
Trucks can’t swim sooty unless you haven’t noticed.
I have already written to Simeon Brown in February of this year.
“Congratulations on your achievements so far and in particular my grateful thanks for your reply to me from a previous email regarding the Waimate District Council and their adherence to the Interim Speed Management – unfortunately they have blindly intend to follow their stupidity in full adoption despite having their meeting on the very day you announced the abandonment of the Road to Zero Plan.
I am simply passing on this video which I will assume you have no doubt seen all, or in part of Ms Rosie’s quite blatant thumbing of her nose at you and your Government.
I would urge you to quickly get rid of her and all in the upper echelon who reflect those same views or you will still be wondering in three years time while no significant changes have been made.
Attached : https://theredbaiter.com/2024/02/18/deep-cultural-rot-at-nzta/#respond”
I have now written again –
“Dear Simeon,
I have previously written to you and was reassured that you intended to put a hold on the complete Zero Traffic Management plan.
Interesting the Council adopted the new restrictions on the same day you announced that you would be rescinding all the speeds etc changed since 2020.
Today the Council has announced that those changes have now been approved by by the very Department under your direction.
Do they take no notice of you?
Regards
“Safer Speeds to be Introduced
21 Jun 2024, 5:08 pm
Safer speed areas for Waimate have been given the green light and will soon be in place.
The changes are a result of Waimate District Council’s Speed Management Plan, which was approved by the Council last year and now by NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi.
That is a Gween voting wellywood heifer right there
Power doesn’t reside in the figureheads at the top. Unless they clean house, and go on a cockroach crushing campaign, they will look the fool. Labour stack the ranks with apparatchiks every time. How dumb to fall for it every cycle. Clean house, or nothing will change. It’s pretty simple.

Any shipping type folk here? Can someone explain why the ferry couldnt go full astern and drop the anchors? Is it too deep?
So according to the top notch GM of KiwiRail’s InterIslander, the steering system on the “Awatere” was overhauled and replaced two weeks ago.
“We brought in experts from overseas and that was part of our effort and commitment to improving the maintenance and reliability of our ferries,” Roy said.
Top Hole job. Steering system bought at a good knock down price on TEMU. This included free shipping and as a first time buyer, KiwiRail from TEMU, they were entitled to a further 10% discount.
There, that will show ’em, how to buy wisely and at a good price.

The article makes good reading. It also suggests that DEI will kill Western innovation if it hasn’t already done so.
My info tells me a good contracting firm ran the cables for it (know them well, they are very good and well respected) and it was interislander that did the rest of the install. Im trying to find out more about the rest of the system install
It was shallow enough to drop anchors. There was no reason to not slap it in astern to halt fwd momentum as this is the usual practice with the engine types on board. The bow thruster could have been used to turn the bow but looks like they forgot about this. At the low speed they would have been travelling at they should have been able to stop and hold position untill the tugs could have got there to render assistance. I hope Maritime NZ get involved and rake them over the coals about it. The ferrys give the NZ maritime industry a bad name.
Well hell
At least it did not take out a bridge and kill a bunch of people
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Scott_Key_Bridge_(Baltimore)
Yep Saggster, spent a lifetime with Blue Star Line, Lauritzen’s, Jumbo Navigation, Kyokuyu and Kansai Steamship Co. Answer is no.
With sea levels rising at a huge rate of knots, this should float off on its own by Tea Time. With twin screws, twin rudders and twin steering machinery, either this was a catastrophic failure or the Chief was talking the former Picton Pilot, Don Jamieson on how his last voyage on the “Mikhail Lermontov” turned out.
Hey Hooli, where you, Bridge, deck or engineer, just out of curiousity.
I wondered about that too. Twin screw ships (& the ferries certainly are) can be steered to a limited extent by throwing the props into forward or astern as needed. In any case unless the rudder dropped off there’s almost certainly redundancy built into the steering system.
So many questions & so many investigations to fudge the answers.
Been following a guy who does something called isometric projections with events in history. Where you pick an event in time, and use the ripple effect either side of that event going backwards and forwards in time to see if there is a mathematical pattern. I tried it with Cook Strait incidents. I started with the Lermontov in 1986 and last nights Aratere grounding. There was 38 years between them. I divided that by two which gives you 19, and added 19yrs to 1986 getting 2005. I then checked to see if any event happened then. Turns out the Blueridge vessel ‘Santa Regina’ plowed through the launch ‘Timeless’, where one soul was lost, in almost exactly the same place as the Aratere grounding. I went back 19 yrs from 1986 which is 1967, one year off the Wahine disaster. So, it looks like every 18 to 19 years there’s a maritime mishap in the Cook Strait.
Will you do the same for sucessful Governments so we know when the next one is due?
Bow thrusters too!

in Britain they would have maybe got a fine.

I’ve received via All Points Camping Club the winter edition of ‘Camping the Kiwi Way’ which delves into the latest crap surrounding caravan self containment certification. https://www.campingthekiwiway.org/8/winter-24/venting-cassette
The latest brain fart I failed to see on the horizon is the requirement for ventilation even in the case of cartridge type waste containers which we have. (Thetford C400).
A possible answer has been suggested https://www.mouterecaravans.co.nz/sog-system
I’m chewing over how to go about it. How are you attacking the bureaucratic demands?
Not a problem for me, just renewed it last month for another 5 years.
Don’t bet on it. The link states:
……”NZ Lifestyle Camping’s network of testing officers continues to offer self-containment through the current NZ Standard, NZS 5465:2001 which is recognised by commercial and private host properties and is valid for 4 years.
Starting June ‘24 we will offer certification with the new green warrant for those who specifically request it”…….
The way I read it your new certification would cover “commercial and private host properties” but not DOC sites or freedom camping sites.
We don’t normally park up anywhere other than holiday parks but downsizing & updating our present 26′ Jayco is on the cards & the currently lapsed certification will impact on the price difference.
I would hope they use explosion proof motors or you going to be covered in shit, along with the inside of caravan!

Why Has China Purchased Farmland Near 19 Different Military Bases Inside The US?
The Chinese have become extremely aggressive, and it is just a matter of time before we are at war with them.
But even though many of our leaders publicly talk about the coming war, we are still allowing the Chinese to take advantage of us in unthinkable ways.
We should have never allowed the Chinese to purchase large tracts of farmland near 19 of our most important military bases.
Unfortunately, they are there now, and that will give them a major advantage when war finally erupts.

…The Chinese have become extremely aggressive..
Ooow scary people !!
and yet
The US this century has actually
-invaded Syria
-set up ISIS
-Wrecked Libya
-invaded Iraq
-had a coup in Ukraine and using it as a surrogate for a hot war
-invaded Afghanistan
-tried to provoke Iran into war
That barely scratches the surface esp with the deep state shite that goes on
If the USA sank under the ocean tomorrow the world would not be worse off.
We would replace the computer operating systems inside months – the US dominant ones are only there because they buy off or destroy decent competition; Probably out of scandinavia, which is very innovative in IT
the US for 200 years has stolen others good ideas then locked them up in patents, and then use lawfare to defend
They bought and shutdown Nokia – I wont go into detail but they wrecked them
Same with Canadian RIM/Blackberry
USA are fecking wreckers
They don’t trade fairly and honestly with anyone
They make fuck all we need
hollyweird under the ocean would be a blessing, now
BLM gone
so many benefits.
We would have a chance of peace in our time
We could get some things in our life that is not crammed with yankee dep state spyware

The real story behind the Russian missile crisis in Cuba is it was direct response to the US putting missiles in Europe aimed at Russia
I think this only officially came out about 2016
The public in USA were never told the truth – on most things- for 50 years
If China went under the sea tonight a substantial and material amount of manufacturing would stop
There would be shortages.
Russia and India are large counter balances
The EU has wrecked itself with Swiss and German activities so they are no bloody use to counterbalance
Who wrecked the EU
Was not the Chinese
It was a suicide
And the US went ahead and let them?
Either the US government is incompetent, or they are leading the Chinese up the garden path.
Another option: key people bribed by the Chinese – although incompetence can’t be ruled out.

Well he won’t be wielding his a stick for a while.
Just read the most magnificent not PC -King Solomons Mine- in which the adventurers shot and detusked nine elephants, described like they were simply picking jam for their scones. They cut out the hearts as it was the tastiest bit. The boss elephant charged and trampled them after, but got only one. Fortuneately for the reader, he was an African servant, and not a gun toting hero. lol burgers.

The West Creating Enemies Produces Allies For Russia.
“I think what the US needs to do is to expand their axis of evil beyond three countries, because while we’ve got a rotating membership of it, it doesn’t seem to be quite large enough now. Like, is Iran going to get bumped by North Korea now?” Joked Sleboda. “The US has created far too many enemies in the world to be restricted to just three these days,” he added, suggesting that the US use the moniker the “Legion of Doom.”

The minor ‘problem’ with ‘nuclear’ is that it does tend to eventually produce rather toxic biproducts when it’s life is over and very noticeably, the gweens don’t seem to be very concerned about this ‘Major’., highly-toxic and extremely long-lasting (2-3000 years) problem.
One has to wonder why this might be. A case of blissful or willful ignorance perhaps perhaps?

Govt ‘very disappointed’ in KiwiRail amid Aratere grounding — Brown
https://www.1news.co.nz/2024/06/22/govt-very-disappointed-in-kiwirail-amid-aratere-grounding-brown/
A report from the Ministerial Advisory Group with recommendations was received in the last week, with shareholding Ministers to make a decision in due course.
“Due to the much larger size, questions remained about whether those ships would have been safe to sail the Tory Channel.”
There was also concern about the size of the tugs in Picton and Brown said money for an investigation into ocean-going tugs had been allocated in the Budget.
Start with sending the ferries >
Wellywood to Clifford Bay.
Get out in the Strait and crank it up
Readers may recall that the the Aratere was the ferry dubbed “El Lemon” by the NZ media & perhaps with good cause. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEV_Aratere
# 1 October 2004 – “30 seconds of potential disaster” after Aratere had a steering fault in the Marlborough Sounds.
# 10 February 2005 – Aratere was detained after a “crisis of confidence” with inspectors noting that she had arrived from Spain six years earlier in a shocking state. They could no longer allow her to operate as she was
And plenty more. She may well be jinxed.
Which explains clearly the reason for not buying another worn out piece of shit.
If the idiots who run Kiwirail hadn’t decided that they had to have a couple of ferries each the size of an ocean liner complete with gold plated terminals the end of the problems would be in sight.
I’m not much of a fan of National but it would have been gross negligence to allow Labours unworldly waste to continue.
Labors,little man syndrome, maybe!

House Committee Forms Group To Tackle CCP’s Role In Fentanyl Crisis
Fentanyl is the leading cause of death for people ages 18-45 in the United States, and we now know the Chinese Communist Party is the force behind that crisis, Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.) said.
From funding the manufacturing and export of illicit fentanyl precursor chemicals to holding ownership interest in companies tied to drug trafficking, the CCP is not only an active participant in the drug trade—they are directly incentivizing it, he added.
The report also discovered that Chinese authorities consistently fail to prosecute manufacturers of fentanyl and its precursors. Instead of cooperating with U.S. law enforcement, Chinese security services have been accused of tipping off targets of American investigations.

You’re a funny guy
The CIA has been the world leading illegal drug runner for more than 60 years now.
No-one else comes close
See the 1989 movie – air america with RDJ and Mel Gibson.
Set in the 1960s they were not even trying to hide it
They have been pouring drugs into Black inner city areas for decades- to quell the people
The drug changes every 20 years or so, not the method nor intent
Weed, 1984s crack cocaine and now fentanyl
George floyds own choice of death
Heck US has open borders now – Demonrat approved- so it is easy to just walk the drugs across, no checks
Was not the Chinese govt that did that
Drugs guns and money = Iran /Contra- a few countries involved there- Iran, USA , Nicaragua, Israel etc
but not China
do you really think the US deep state running a depopulation agenda is the slightest bit concerned ?

As I said above, get off the LSD
In the past few days there have been various references in media outlets to human remains dug up during excavation work in the Hamilton suburb of Hillcrest. Ref: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/waikato-news/news/human-remains-found-in-hillcrest-hamilton-determined-to-be-pre-european/SQEU5G4XHZBYDLINO3JGNQZFJU/ Police have confirmed that they have no further interest & that “the remains will be exhumed in consultation with local iwi.”
All good but what impressed me was the interview with Ngāti Wairere historian Wiremu Puke. He spared us the usual lecture on Maori traditions along with rituals about burial sites & disrespect by Pakeha. Instead he went on to provide background & information about the area & pre European interments. He even went so far as to “thank the contractor who had the foresight to contact police about the remains.”
What a change from the normal bitter gibberish. So long as people like Mr Puke exist there’s still hope for NZ.
Why didn’t they eat him?
Waste of good food.
