Morning all, still hosing down up here. Surprised the Brynderwyns haven’t fallen over yet.
ROLS boss is working on that.
He will flatten it out a lot more so the Jaffas can get to your place a lot quicker.
Why they don’t build an effing tunnel through there I don’t know. You cant even call the stuff there “rock”
why bother investing? everyone knows the bros are eventually gunna seize and take over the north.
better off digging a big channel and making a north north island and be done with it.
Ideal place for a fence!
🇮🇪 IRISH TEACHER ARRESTED AGAIN AFTER REFUSING TO USE “THEY” PRONOUN FOR STUDENT
Back in cuffs again. Enoch Burke, the Irish teacher who’s already spent over 560 days in jail, was arrested again this morning outside Wilson’s Hospital School.
Why? He wouldn’t call a male student “they,” as demanded by the school principal.
“This is all about transgender ideology, forcing it upon every school in the country.
They want silence, not debate. But my conscience will bring me back to this gate.
I was never told I had to renounce my Christian beliefs to do this job.
They can throw me in a prison cell, but they can’t force me to lie.”

Good on him. Hopefully the worm will turn and a decent government will eventually get elected. Don’t know why the world is so fucked up.
I find it easier just to call people mate or hey matie rather than try to guess their shit.
mate, bro, cunt, fucker, arsehole cunt fucking bitch…. meh just depends who it is to what i call them 🙂
And whether you want them to comeback again.
i call mrs sb all of them plus a few more awsome ones yet she still comes back.
mrs sb has called me much worse and yet i still come back too so i dont think names matter much
I tend to avoid anybody who remotely looks like they may have a pronoun issue.
You mean like this lady. Name is Yasbek.
Yasbek is having a scrap with Nicol Mckee. Its a she it seems.

Do these people that want you to call them they, do they all have imaginary friends too?
As per that Jim Carrey movie, Me, Myself, and Irene, anyone that wants to be called “they” has Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). Used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder. Was changed 30 years ago.
From Google:
Is a complex mental health condition where a person has two or more distinct identity states, or “alters,” that recurrently take control of their behavior, accompanied by significant memory gaps (amnesia).
Symptoms:
Presence of alters: Two or more distinct personalities with unique names, histories, and traits.
Memory loss: Significant gaps in memory for personal history, daily events, and trauma.
“Switching”: Sudden, often triggered, shifts between identities.
Identity confusion: Feeling detached from oneself or one’s body.
Other symptoms: Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, self-harm, substance abuse, and suicidal thoughts
Switching: Thinking you are a women when you compete in women’s sports, and entering the women’s showers. “Switching” to being a man when you see the girls undress and getting a boner. Yeah right.
Either the Transgender accept they are mentally ill, and need treatment or they are just sexual perverts that could not complete in sport or life as a man.
This started as backlash to a ridiculous government propaganda computer game targetting white kids who are supposedly being radicalized. Has a government propaganda exercise ever backfired so spectacularly?

So the reform of the RMA is going to save you all a lot of dosh and frustration.
Did you really think so?
You no longer need a building consent or a resource consent to build a backyard granny flat, but there are still costs, rules and regulations around what you can and cannot do.
It also means a rate increase for a second dwelling on your property.
The new Government rules aim to make it easier for homeowners to build small granny flats on their properties.
Hastings District Council Mayor Wendy Schollum said
All builds need a council-issued Project Information Memorandum (PIM) before work starts.
John O’Shaughnessy, council’s planning and regulatory services group manager, said a PIM helps identify risks and constraints early, including hazard risks, servicing and whether the exemption is likely to apply.
“Every site will be different,” O’Shaughnessy said.
“Early conversations can save people time, cost and frustration later on.”
Homeowners will need to pay development contribution costs.
A council spokesperson said these costs would be assessed during the preparation of the PIM and depend on the area and size of the new building.
“For a granny flat added to a property with an existing home in the urban area, the cost is likely to be between $17,000 and $30,000.
“In a rural residential area, it is likely to be between $4000 and $7000 – again depending on size and area.
“Development Contributions are how council funds the cumulative costs of the public infrastructure needed to support growth throughout the district.
“This ensures the level of service for existing residents is not compromised by growth, and that the cost of growth is not an additional cost on all ratepayers.”
Property owners also pay for on-site plumbing and connection to the council’s reticulated services, construction costs, plumbing and electrical costs, professional fees, and increased rates for the second dwelling.
The new rules only apply to new, standalone, single-storey, 70sq m or less buildings, designed and built to meet the Building Code and built or supervised by licensed building professionals.
Resource Consent will not be needed if the project complies with national planning standards for minor dwellings or the Hastings District Plan rules that apply to the site.
All buildings have to be at least 2m away from other residential buildings and any legal boundary.
The council remains responsible for addressing unsafe or non-compliant building work.
At the build’s conclusion, all required documentation must be provided to the council, including final plans, Records of Work from Licensed Building Practitioners, and plumbing, drainage, gas, and electrical certifications, as well as payment of any applicable development contributions.
The spokesperson said the Government estimates the average saving from adding a granny flat to a property with an existing main home would be about $5500.
Council encourages anyone considering a granny flat to talk with staff before committing to design or construction.
More information, including detailed guidance and frequently asked questions, is available.
so yeah but no.
And then the insurance companies will want a bite of the cherry.
Easier to park a caravan there.
Interestingly I was discussing this with a friend in insurance. If it is on wheels, it’s a fucking vehicle as far as they are concerned. Fortunately I live in the bush. Its a temporary shed. So fuck off.
lol, the joys of rural life ROL. fuck the council bullshit, just get it done 🙂
This is interesting. I was talking to my nephew , a builder, the other day and he was scoffing a little about the changes because he said the building still had to be up to code and it was on the builder to ensure that. He said the only change was the Coucil was out of it. Obviously he is wrong or this Council is interpreting the changes incorrectly.
Either way Bishop has another mess on his hands like it seems he has in the Auckland housing issue.
Granny flats won’t be springing up like autumn mushrooms any time soon mostly because there won’t be many sections that can accommodate them. Presuming an 8 x 6 metre building with two offsets of 3 metres & two of 1.5 metres you would need free backyard space of 12.5 x 10.5 metres (131 sq/m). This would be a bit tricky when your typical section in NZ is sub 600 sq/m or 30 x 20 metres with a 150 sq/m house bang in the centre.
Then, at least locally, max site coverage is 33% which further restricts building options. The councils won’t be forfeiting much in fees.
Meanwhile underground, out of sight, out of mind waste water and sewage reticulation continues to burst at the seams with regular reports of unsafe water for swimming, etc due to overflows.
How does even more in-fill housing not make this worse. 🫣
Basic council infrastructure has to be provided beforehand.
We have been beating that drum with Auckland Council for a while now. Our area is targeted for intensification in the current plan change 120 being proposed while currently there is a restriction on new development in place because of waste water and storm water issues. It’s just completely nuts.
A. For a granny flat added to a property with an existing home in the urban area, the cost is likely to be between $17,000 and $30,000.
—–
B. Development Contributions are how council funds the cumulative costs of the public infrastructure needed to support growth throughout the district.
——————
so A
get boosted bish-slop was always lying
maybe save $3- 4000 on approx. $50,000 all up with council
in the the range of a 4 to 6% saving; this based on the initial read up from an announcement a year and half ago .
and B.
council TAKE this money and do not add one millimeter of piping for water in or out
or any more electricity supply
or anything really
They are not even responsible for electricity but take ya dough
they will maybe steal more existing roading for bike lanes- despite no usage
and not even require the 60 dwelling domestic dwelling to have car parks
Despite public transport being an illusion .
Councils are bandits and frauds
actual (il)legal protection rackets; local Mafia done bad .
its a fucking shakedown
instead of a horses head in your bed
you get a demand for payment on your letter box.
and its all sort of legal
don’t pay we will put a lien on your (?) property .
Yep! Park a bloody caravan and save a shed load of dosh!
Put a carport over it, if you want and a concrete pad to tidy it up.
Give the council the middle finger.
30,000 to 50,000 ya dreaming. Council wankers!
I don’t think they can charge a development contribution as no new services hook up to council pipes as you tee into existing ones on your property, but they will try.
toilet tax. Each one is taxed.
A VISIT TO AUCKLAND
Although it’s somewhat long, this post appeared in my FB feed and I thought that it would be of interest. (I know nothing about it’s author BTW).
Definitely a ‘How others see us’ situation.
Enjoy.
‘JUST ANOTHER FAILED TRIP TO AUCKLAND CBD
By Judy Gill
18 January 2025
So we came by ferry to Auckland CBD from lovely Waiheke Island —
lovely socialist, neo-Marxist Waiheke Island — I and my young son, intending to catch a train to visit his sister in Onehunga.
The trains weren’t running.
Not in January.
Not through the CBD.
Not in peak tourist summer season.
Not in cruise ship season.
So the plan changed.
We decided instead to pay an essential visit to the School Uniform Shop in Epsom.
But the buses don’t get you there.
Not one bus anyway.
You need two buses, OR walking at both ends — and it’s raining.
So we call a Didi taxi.
It was meant to be there in seven minutes.
We wait more than twenty.
It never came.
We opened the app again.
The price had gone up from $11 to $17 while we were waiting.
We went to eat.
Four Square.
A reheated bagel.
Cold egg.
Bacon.
And coffee.
No toilet.
Next door to Daily Bread — still no toilet.
We went to the newly branded Waitemata train station – formerly known as Britimart. (No the public were not consulted, let alone advised)
There is a toilet there.
But four security staff were standing in front of it, telling us we couldn’t use the public toilet because the trains weren’t running.
The trains aren’t running —
but the boy’s wee-wees will soon do.
The security staff tell us to go to Commercial Bay because
“they have public toilets”.
Never mind that Commercial Bay is a private, commercial operation.
It was never part of the plan.
Seventeen minutes to find a toilet.
We had another drink.
The boy took his action heroes out of his school bag and played at the table.
We headed up to our usual backup:
Auckland City Library.
Walking up Queen Street, homeless Māori were lying on the concrete footpaths —
lounging, sitting, barefoot, dressed in rags, cardboard signs, begging bowls out.
Mattresses and sleeping bags everywhere.
Hapless parents doubling their children on Lime scooters.
Tourists renting Lime scooters, looking dazed.
Not a single bicycle in sight.
A huge bicycle rack outside Aotea Square sits completely empty.
*****************************
The 21st century Rangatira never intended, from the beginning, to get rid of this Māori poverty – the Papa Hone Tamahere and Wee Willy Jacksons of this world.
Māori poverty is the PR campaign.
It is the justification.
It must continue for the Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Waitangi Tribunal gravy train to continue.
The money flows to iwi, to Maori-led NGOs and corporations, to politically nepotistic so-called Māori leaders.
It is never distributed to the people actually lying on the street.
Those people are not a failure of the system –
They are the evidence the system requires to keep the gravy train going.
******************************
We reach the library.
There are the usual Asian parents diligently reading to their children.
There are women in hijabs with children, little girls in hijabs too.
I am told that these are refugee families housed in hotels in the CBD until a taxpayer funded home becomes available in the suburbs.
We’ve met these same family groups in Myers Park Playground before too.
There were a few homeless Maori sleeping on the couches.
We leave the library to catch a bus instead of walking down Queen Street because the boy is tired.
But the buses are all lined up,
all marked “OUT OF SERVICE.”
So we walk.
We walk down Queen Street and arrived at “Te Komititanga”— formerly QEII Square.
Not just a committee (Komiti) meeting place, but a sacred tangata one, sacred by assertion –
A newby-nym filtered through English, dressed up as depth, then “gifted” back as something ancient, no doubt at great taxpayer expense.
QEII Square was land once reclaimed from the sea by European settlers. But apparently Maori once held sacred Komiti meetings in this once aquatic He Tangata space.
The timing matters.
The trains are due to start running again on 29 January.
When the city reconnects, political marches become feasible again.
Oriini Kaipara’s TOITŪ TE AROHA is planned as a march from Aotea Square to Te Komititanga on 31 January.
On the same day, Brian Tamaki is planning a march from Victoria Park over the Auckland Harbour Bridge with his haka lads, the TRUE PATRIOTS OF NEW ZEALAND.
*******************************
This is where my imagination kicks in.
Oriini invokes spirits and demons — otherwise known as tupuna and atua.
Brian invokes Jesus:
“JESUS, JESUS, JESUS.”
Two movements.
Two moral languages.
Two claims to righteousness.
One calls it Aroha.
One calls it Jesus.
Both organise through exclusion.
Both thrive on spectacle.
Both are competing for the same thing: msm, national and even international attention.
What if these two Maori worlds were to collide in Te Komititanga that day?
Haka upon haka.
A 21st century charge to war.
Far left vs far right?
31 JANUARY 2026?
Same city. Different places.
Victoria vs Elizabeth?
Victoria Park vs QEII Square?
This is a contest, a showdown, for airspace and imagery. For the national and international stage.
******************************
THE LASTING, DEPARTING IMPRESSION OF OUR DAY TRIP TO AUCKLAND CBD IS OF A THIRD WORLD CITY DRESSED UP AND MARKETED AS FIRST WORLD —
AN UN-DEVELOPING CITY LIVING OFF BORROWED PRESTIGE’.
*******************************
Its a fucking shithole. Not even Trump would want it. He’d take the rest of New Zealand and nuke Auckland . Make a nice big swimming pool…
Bring back Mussolini. At least he made the trains run on time.
But not the kiwi Mussolini.
Always though Daukland was a shithole….I now rest my case.
I haven’t been to the Auckland CBD for months, despite living only 8 km away from it. Why go at all? I am neither an Indian/Chinese tourist nor a strapping “homeless” man looking for unrecorded income.
There’s nothing for me there.
//
I haven’t been to Queen Street for fifty years, it seems like since the FARMERS.
Been to Dorkland a few times but only go to the burbs, were parking is free.
It’s 30 years since we have been to yippie island and never on my gold card.
Love the thought of Dorkland with no trains and railway.
Do you think they could close the airport for Chrissy holidays too!
Even Jacinta couldn’t achieve all that in her covid shutdown!
Should say that the city of the dammed we have been to even less.
Last time we went, booked into that castle around the south coast and found bugger all to do and had trouble finding carparks etc in town and left in afternoon of second day, paid for long weekend.
Don’t tell the missus about them, as I will have to hang them!
When the big dog goes to Davos
🚨 Europe just deployed troops to Greenland to stop Trump’s acquisition.
Meanwhile, Trump rolls into Davos with 300 delegates—not to negotiate, but to deliver the globalists’ terms of surrender.

That would be fantastic if Canada split up. Serves the fucking woke lefties right….
In some way NZ could catch up with Sweden, like with moose, deer, pigs & goats, peacocks & turkeys as fancy road-kill.
“it’s hard to find any Vision Zero cities where traffic deaths have declined.” Along with failures like New York, LA and D.C., it recorded the fact that traffic deaths are up in other cities that subscribed to the Vision Zero like Portland and Austin.
….. hasn’t reduced traffic deaths to zero or really reduced them much if at all, it has been enormously profitable for consultants and advocates. Mayors and city council,…. …..threw millions at Vision Zero programs. …..
….. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio hailed Vision Zero as a “revolutionary idea that worked beyond our wildest dreams” despite its failure. …..
https://www.danielgreenfield.org/2026/01/vision-zero-promised-to-end-traffic.html
Note that the road kill that did not happen in New York..
Zero as part of meme of so called wise-philosophy or policy to achieve, has only been a dreamtime concept, like “safe & efficacious” to “stop transmission” in its tracks.
Yet it continues to be used by the unscrupolous authorities to further their hi-salaries & careers.
If your woman put on weight over the holidays, suggest some exercise. Get her to walk 3 kilometres in the morning & the same in the evening.
By the end of January, the problem should be about 66 kilometres away.
thanks, i just suggested mrs sb go for a walk to the end of the road… just to be safe tho ill wait till shes at least out the end of the drive before i tell her to keep walking 🙂
But the dishes would be piling up and beans on toast would be getting a bit boring.
You get toast? Spose you heat the beans as well.
Luxury!
She would wear the wheels out of her suitcase!
Last time I said something like that the head injuries were rather bothersome. Thanks to feminism nobody believes you walked into a door anymore.
I’ve got nothing to worry about in that regard. Mrs C doesn’t read YSB!

Rebel News
As world and business leaders travel to Switzerland for the annual World Economic Forum summit, Rebel News’ Ezra Levant and Avi Yemini gave viewers an exclusive look at the secluded private airport used …
The Horse and the Chicken were friends.
One day the two were playing, when the horse fell into a bog and began to sink.
Scared for his life, the horse whinnied for the chicken to go get the farmer for help.
Off the chicken ran, back to the farm.
Arriving at the farm, he searched and searched for the farmer, but to no avail, for he had gone to town with the only tractor.
Running around, the chicken spied the farmer’s new Harley.
Finding the keys in the ignition, the chicken sped off with a length of rope hoping he still had time to save his friend’s life.
Back at the bog, the horse was surprised, but happy, to see the chicken arrive on the shiny Harley, and he managed to get a hold of the loop of rope the chicken tossed to him.
After tying the other end to the rear bumper of the farmer’s bike, the chicken then drove slowly forward and, with the aid of the powerful bike, rescued the horse.
Happy and proud, the chicken rode the Harley back to the farmhouse, and the farmer was none the wiser when he returned.
The friendship between the two animals was cemented.
Best Buddies, best Pals.
A few weeks later, the chicken fell into a mud pit, and soon, he too, began to sink and cried out to the horse to save his life.
The horse thought a moment, walked over, and straddled the large puddle.
Looking underneath, he told the chicken to grab his hangy-down thing and he would then lift him out of the pit.
The chicken got a good grip, and the horse pulled him up and out, saving his life.
The moral of the story?
(Yep, there is a moral.)
When you’re hung like a horse, you don’t need a Harley to pick up chicks.
According to gossip, and I have no way of verifying this, Hunty doesn’t own a Harley,.
Brace yourselves:
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/582108/labour-has-eight-point-lead-over-national-in-latest-poll
Hate to tell you this, SA, but it’s now 2026. That was last year.
Indeed it is. However, Red Radio’s website informs me me it’s the latest poll. I am traumatized by it, which might explain missing the date on it. Has anything changed?
the latest roy morgan? had coalition in front.
they dont mean jack shit tho and imo the polls are just done to sway govt and manipulate gullable voters.

Relax! That post mating ritual is peculiar to the praying mantis species.
Female Teddy Bears, like their human counterparts, spread the removal & devouring of their mate’s head over a life time. 🙂
The latest storm porn from the Herald makes for grim reading:
“Whangārei residents in the hard-hit northeast coast are being urged to stock up on supplies and have emergency plans ready.”
I hope Tarquin has had the foresight to restock the gin cabinet.
I am planning on seeking solace at the nearest pub as soon as I get out of this dump. It’s just another rainy day, happens all the time up here.
It’s pissing down here in the Waikato. Rain is getting heavier. Looks like it’s set in.
Thanks for sharing Tarquin but we’ve also had enough rain for a few weeks.
Cannot wait for the sob storys from all the uninsured who will be expecting the taxpayer to foot the bill for their stupidity
Didn’t I see somewhere they were a hundred thou houses short up there.
Just as well never made to get blown or washed away. Better to only build once.
Not everyone’s lucky enough to have your level of foresight Ed 🧐
Foresight my arse. More like tight arse
emergency supplies around there likely consist of gram bags of meth and ounces of weed. on the bright side tho theres plenty of water to fill the bong or do buckies
Sorted!
the weed or meth?
im picking youre a 2 paper joint guy and the occassional cone 🙂
The 2 paper joint is a rare beast nowadays. A cone is much more economical.
cones taste like shit tho, joints are much nicer.
have you tried a venty or similar vape? mates on prescription and i had a hoon on it a few weeks back, farking beautiful and full flavour.
I go along with you on the vapes. I bought a Da Vinci about three years back & although it doesn’t get a lot of use I don’t regret the purchase.
Good flavour & no coughing.
back in my more naughty days i had a few early style vapes and they were fucking junk and put me off the things. bongs and spots would just kill my lungs too and made it unenjoyable, cones taste poo and always blocked gauzes etc.
dabs were good (rosin) taste nicer than vape and smoother but 90%thc means an unmeasured dose could have you passed out within minutes.
couple hoons on my mates vape had me the best sleep ive had in a year or so, the legal herb was pretty good too just dry so it would be shite to roll up anyways but great in the venty…. might fork out and get me a script in the near future if my shitty sleep dosent improve (3-5hrs max a night drives me mad) today im running on about 2½hrs but also managed a half hour nana nap this arvo.
Fairly much any topic on which a subjective leftist spin can be placed is the victim of Stuff’s blatant editorial bias. Publication of & commentary on the latest Council of Trade Unions Mood of the Workforce survey is no exception.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360926910/mood-workforce-bishop-outranks-other-senior-nat-ministers-including-pm
Luxon will inevitably be replaced by Bishop who the survey ranked the highest. The aspiring back stabber is described as having “determination and courage”, remaining “slightly sensible”, and having “genuine character”.
Dear God!
Yet Simeon Brown, the one person out of 49 plonkers who could conceivably head up a successful, electable National Party gets rubbished.
#. “Dozens of comments wished they could have given him a negative score, while many others urged him to resign or be sacked.”
#. “Other descriptors were “arrogant, “inexperienced”, “disastrous”, and “spineless”.”
He must be upsetting the union comrades! Yet a sole responder called him a “competent forward thinker”, and another who said that “apart from Simeon Brown, every other minister in National is completely clueless”.
They got that right at least.
they can label luxon everything they want and theyre probably correct… but hes still a better option than another disasterous labour govt.
only trumps fuckery with global economy could land us with a labour govt by years end. it could very possibly happen too, a few more tarrifs, a new war/invasion or another big hoon on the money printer could be the tipping point.
dollar milkshake theory would smash nz and destroy the little economic progress luxon and willis have made.
Simeon Brown can take comfort from the following:
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win”
hes in the wrong party, the party powers would never allow him to get near the leadership aswell. if it was up to voters he would romp home but iys not and they have a good track record of picking duds and labour lite leaders.
nats today cant be far off helen clark era labour, alot of things the nats are probably further to the left than the clark govt… esp maori shit
We hope. But the health portfolio has wrecked or shortened a few otherwise promising political careers.
Think Tony Ryall, Shane Reti & even David Cunliffe.
The leaders AWAYS give the health portfolio to the biggest threat to their leadership
Tony Ryall did a great job, but Key and his god nutter mates were never going to let him and simon Power ever be the country’s leaders. We would have been way better off.

Why Christopher Luxon’s State Of Nation Missed The Kitchen Table
Duncan Garner Podcast
Christopher Luxon’s State of the Nation speech was meant to mark the start of election year politics. Instead, it raised more questions than answers.
Do you feel better off?
much better off tbh.
i also dont feel like the govt hates me and wants to destroy everything i do or love.
as a farmer, hunter, miner and cis white male it was clear the ardern govt would rather i didnt exist.
sure shits alot more expensive but the bulk of that was arderns doing, luxon didnt fix it but inflation slowed down.
i think the nation is focusing on how shit luxon himself is and forgeting how shit things as a whole were under arderns rule. theyre playing the man not the ball so its comparing apples and oranges.
Ani O’Brien says the leftie’s at Stuff have said 2026 is the year they take out Luxon.
aw well if successful then we’re gunna have a labour govt by years end then.
whats the skeletons in the closet for stanford that all the rabid lefties rave about? they want her to be leader cuz they rekon its so damaging itll wipe nats out for years.
anyone know? i call bullshit cuz theyre so desperate for scalps it wouldve been used by now.
Do you think if Labor win the election, the bitch will think it safe to return to NZ.
never.

I sort of clicked to something that radio tuning, even in the middle of the night really goes off on its tuning.
Usually it is more dawn & dusk times in our summers.
And some how that all ties with magnetism, with whatever solar maundin minimum maximum of sunspots.

The following table is a list of historical measured locations for the south dip pole.
The last land based location for the magnetic south dip pole was in 1962.
The magnetic south dip pole has now moved offshore.

Only that the magnetism will not show you where the gold is.
