A large woman wearing a sleeveless sundress walks into a pub in Dublin. She raises her right arm, revealing a huge hairy armpit. She points to all the people sitting at the bar and asks,
“What man here will buy a lady a drink?”
The bar goes silent as the patrons try to ignore her. But down at the end of the bar, an old, owl-eyed drunk slams his hand down on the counter and bellows, “Give the ballerina a drink!” The bartender pours the drink and the woman chugs it down. She turns to the patrons and again points around at all of them, revealing the same hairy armpit, and asks,
“What man here will buy a lady a drink?”
Once again, the same little old drunk slaps his money down on the bar and says, “Give the ballerina another drink!”
The bartender approaches the little old drunk and says, “Tell me, Paddy, it’s your own darn business if you want to buy the lady a drink, but why in tarnation do you keep calling her the ballerina?”
The drunk replies, “Any woman who can lift her leg that high has got to be a ballerina!”
The weather porn is high today.
Watch the one down Antarctica way. That’s pulling a lot of very cold air and moist air into it.
The surf should be good this weekend.
Sunday will be a fizzer.
Hoskin was on to this this morning. Their dire warnings are ingenuous, dishonest and counter productive. Eventually no one will pay any attention to any weather warnings, and that could be a problem when a real emergency occurs. What these plonkers don’t realise is that we have access to international organizations like the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), Windy.com, NOAA etc and some of us studied climatology and meteorology. Windy.com uses ECMWF modelling which is one of the best in the world. I have no idea if our bunch use them or use Taniwhas and the useless BOM, or NIWA, equally useless. Anyway, I’ drop the sun umbrellas. but besides that carry on as usual.
Them weather wankers have as much credibility as Hopkins and the Labor party.
For those who missed this very Important announcement.
John Campbell says he’s looking forward to his fourth stint at RNZ, as he prepares to join Ingrid Hipkiss on Morning Report next week.
That pompous priest clown should become a minister in some cathedral where he could preach all day. Perhaps he could move to Anderton territory and resurrect their cathedral
Please don’t tell Tarquin that his alter ego is back.
He will be insufferable.
Please don’t insult real priests and Cathedrals by comparing that twat to them.
Ya kidding, history records the behavoir of all those.
Pious, a lot of spoken garbage for the poor.
You rang? Its great to be back on air, the aim is to be even more woke, more pompous than ever and insufferably condescending. The real secret is in the sad holier than thou look and knowing the exact moment to throw in the derisive head nod. Doesn’t work as well on radio but I’m sure the losers I attract will be able to use their imagination.
Well, that should finally add the last nail to the lid of the RNZ coffin.
I see they have been told to reduce expenses, so I guess your pay will be reduced to subsistence level.

Donald Trump capitulates totally to Iran – Matthew Hooton
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/economy/donald-trump-capitulates-totally-to-iran-matthew-hooton/premium/ZMBDERHFPRG2HJWBBLZZXL5RME/
It staggers me that these turkeys don’t understand the underlying issue, which is, of course, the subjugation of the Persian population using violence to do so whilst robbing their country of its money.
I get the feeling that the media obsession with trump helps avoid showing us how stupid ours and Australia’s lefty view of the world is , the yanks apart from california with its stupid euro fuel standards like us aren’t running low on diesel. Our prices are a reflection on unnecessary fuel standards that shut down marsden point and locked us into middle east crude.
I see the gullible Greta, ‘Doom Goblin’ is fizzing with uninformed rage for Iran after swallowing hook, line and sinker Trump’s claim he’d “wipe a whole civilisation from the earth”. 🤤
Nothing stupid about the Euro standards.
There’s a very sound reason for them.
When I have time I can explain more.
cleans egr and thinks hes a fucking emissions expert now lol.
Well, I think I can tell you a lot more about these things, the whys and hows, than your tiny mind could remember.
As it’s one of our businesses dealing with the issue.
if the engines didnt have the stupid emissions crap on them they wouldnt be forced to breath their own farts and fuck out.
lol, im guessing youre a retard that thinks trump will free the iranians?
i see trumps having another cry and demanding nato countries send warships to help reopen the straight…. oh dear, thats the same trump that claimed reopening the straight is very easy to do and he dosent need help, the same trump that claimed the straight was reopened just 2 days ago.

What makes a pundit?
Like many of the “experts” that are rounded up to comment in our own news services, they are people trying to be relevant when in fact they are trivia.
Most have the world view of a flatfish and should join the Flat Earth Society.
and the main motive behind TACO
So he’s part of the Trump was wrong for attacking Iran, and now he’s TACO for not continuing to attack Iran crowd. I guess that sums up the entire anti Trump and left wing attitude.
JUST DISAGREE WITH TRUMP.
That’s IT from everyone who opposes him but can’t explain why.
Peters doing shit again.
NZ First wants to define a man and a woman. Government and experts say it will achieve almost nothingNew Zealand First is celebrating the opportunity to ask MPs “What is a Woman?”. What would its proposed law change achieve?
A New Zealand First MP’s bill aims to clearly define men and women according to their biological sex – but legal experts say its potential impact is being overstated.
The proposed law change would define woman as “adult human biological female” and man as “adult human biological male” in the Legislation Act – meaning all laws and regulations which contained these words would be seen through the lens of the new definition.
NZ First leader Winston Peters last week explained the reason for the
“This bill would ensure our country moves away from the woke ideology that has crept in over the last few years, undermining the protection, progression and safety of women,” he said.
“Our laws should reflect biological reality and provide legal certainty.”
The bill was last week pulled from the private member’s ballot – a lottery system which allows backbench MPs to seek changes on issues which are not on the government’s agenda.
Go Winston! Any normal society would not require legal clarification of biological differences but the cray-crays decided to force priority of cocks-in-frocks over biological women, make us submissive, irrelevant to the “needs” of weirdos with a mental illness.
The need for safe spaces protected from aggressive men is necessary.
Real women matter!
Got Balls? You’re a Man.
No Balls? You’re a Woman.
It’s that simple. There is no middle ground.
If you disagree, you need to see a Doctor.
NEXT!..
Wrong, Hipkins has no balls, but he is no woman.
What if you were in an motorcycle accident and had your balls ripped out?
You’re still a biological man.
You wouldn’t want to be referred to as female. You still think like a man.
Those little parcel racks on early Triumph motorcycles were good for that!
A bloke who had his balls ripped out via accident.
A chicks titties get ripped off in an accident. Still a chick.
NO! YOU’RE welcome. 🫵😉😁
Dna, xy or xx you cant pick and choose it is what it is
YES!!
If the balls vs no balls plus DNA tests are inconclusive may I suggest reversing a trailer or reading a map assessments may clear up the matter once & for all.
I’d watch some of the ladies and their talents at that. SB eyed one up the other day while playing pull my tail in his cab.
Reading a map while reversing a trailer and eating a pie.
and a ciggie in one corner of ya mouth
🤣🤣
Perfectly true 👍
Peters doing
shitgood again.Nah, it will bring back discrimination all over again.
Obviously, you are not old enough to know what that was like for many.
There’s a simple rule to these things.
People are people regardless of the fate that was bestowed upon them by the mingling of their parents’ DNA and other chemical consequences that caused the DNA to create that person.
That they are different is your bias, not theirs.
If you treat others with respect, then they will do the same to you.
Its attitudes that get in your way.
And there is nothing new about DNA going wrong, it has been around since time immemorial, both in humans, animals and all forms of life.
How do you think so many varieties of plants, sea life, and animals, etc., developed?
Just like we have many different races of people.
And yes, of course, that applies to all involved, but it’s obvious that when you vilify a group, then you should expect a reaction.
Why are you so frightened of a variety of people?
Obviously, you are not old enough…
I’m older than you but look younger.
Peters is trying to fix woke, starting with basics.
“This is a man, this is woman. The rest are confused, mentally ill, cross dressers, or leering perverts who want to jack off in women’s changing rooms.”
50+ years ago, a school mates cousin, a boy, was queer. It didn’t make him a girl, he wore pants. And yes he was effeminate. My mate didn’t pretend he wasn’t queer, and was amused by his cousins antics.
Nature took care of his cousin, he was dead before 30. When you are male, and you start acting female, your immune system starts getting confused and attacking itself, including the brain. That’s why all the Green Party perverts have mental issues.
And pardon the word queer. That was the term back then. The word gay was still in use by companies like Tip Top who sold GayTime ice cream cones – packs of different coloured ice cream cones.
As I said, you want discrimination to apply. As for the rest of your rant. What are you afraid of?
Queer = gay
Gay = gay (once was happy but now the queers can have it)
Fag = gay (once also ment ciggie but now just gay)
Re name the icecream happy times, bet it sells better, wasnt it golden gay times, kinda now sounds worse haha
Queer = gay
No.
L = Lesbian
G = Gay
B = Bisexual
Q = Queer, but we already have the prior three acronyms covered. So, what is Queer?
To quote Queer activist David Halperin “Queer is an identity without an essence”.
So, what does that even mean? Queer is anything that opposes “normativity’, which is why so many of them are
pedophi…sorry, Minor Attracted Persons.It is entirely possible to be heterosexual and Queer, so long as you believe in their demiurge, and the true (i.e., queer) consciousness.
And when you boil it all down, Queer is another synonym for Marxism (well, a subset of Western Marxism), because Queer is political identity. Class consciousness, critical consciousness, race consciousness, gender consciousness, double consciousness, ad nauseum are all code words for Marxism. The rest of us all have false consciousness (because we’re oppressors by their definitions).
It’s all happened before and the marxists are working the same plan again. I heard an historian saying the trans propaganda is to encourage humans to have sex with either sex with anyone basically whether you are interested or not.

17 Reasons Why Germany’s Weimar Republic Was a Party-Lovers ParadiseD.G. Hewitt
Germany emerged from the First World War broken and disillusioned. Defeat in the Great War heralded the end of the monarchy, with the Kaiser giving way to the Weimar Republic,… the German people partied hard. Indeed, from 1923 onwards, the ‘golden age’ of the Weimar Republic was characterized by its decadent parties just as much as it was for its economic troubles and weak governments.
The cabaret scene of 1920s Berlin is still famous to this day. Here, in dance halls and cabaret clubs, the old rules were tossed aside. Prussian conservatism gave way to sexual liberation, equality and hedonism. Gender rules were not just bent but smashed altogether. Indeed, some of the things that went on would even be shocking today. So, from drugs and sex to underage prostitution, gangsters and murders, scandalous aspects of this decadent decade:
Well so did Rome, and it’s never recovered.
Britain is no better and has behaved that way for 4-500 years.
Nothing new under the sun other than prejudice.
So, you like Marxism and want it implemented?
Woke is a Marxist paradigm. I’ll post my definition of Woke just in case you don’t know what it means (or refuse to):

For the “political gossip” file. A few of us commented a while ago on Nicola Willis’s major change in appearance this year (ie. lost a lot of weight). It seems to be well known around Wellington , at least, she has walked out on her husband and kids. Keeping up with Hipkins, it seems.
old rumour news, shubz ripped into it late last year.
think it was todd mclay? who the rumoured rooter was, could be mistaken my memory aint the best. didnt post it up here cuz track record of randos on the internet being correct is pretty low
Really!? I bet she’s gettin some dick from somewhere else. Maybe Luxons in there. Let’s start a rumour!
Has she turned to lady liquor?
No but she’s defo had a make over, a new upmarket wardrobe and a new BRIGHT red lipstick 💄

F** Off!’: My Incredible Interaction With Far North Mayor
Duncan Garner addresses what might be the worst advertisement for local government accountability in New Zealand history.
A rumor is circulating on pro-Hezbollah forums that Israel tracked the IP addresses of Hezbollah officials during a Zoom meeting, geolocated 100 positions simultaneously, and struck all of them in ten minutes. The IDF has not confirmed the method. No mainstream outlet has verified it. The rumor originates from Tier-4 sources with zero corroboration from Israeli, American, or independent intelligence reporting.
But the rumor is less important than what it reveals about the strike itself.
One hundred command targets across three geographic zones, Beirut’s southern suburbs, the Beqaa Valley, and southern Lebanon, struck simultaneously in a ten-minute window. Intelligence headquarters. Missile infrastructure. Radwan Force assets. The Aerial Unit that operates Hezbollah’s drone fleet. The IDF confirmed every detail. What the IDF did not confirm is how it knew where every target was at the exact same moment.
That simultaneity is the signature. Hitting 100 targets in sequence is air superiority. Hitting 100 targets in ten minutes is intelligence supremacy. It means real-time location data on the entire senior and mid-tier command structure, updated continuously, cross-referenced with physical infrastructure, and fed into a strike package that executes before anyone can move. Whether the method was Zoom IP tracking, cellular metadata, SIGINT intercepts, human intelligence, or some combination of all four, the capability demonstrated is the same: Israel has penetrated Hezbollah’s operational architecture to a depth that allows simultaneous decapitation across an entire theatre of war.
The pager operation in September 2024 demonstrated that Israel could compromise Hezbollah’s supply chain to deliver explosive devices into the pockets of hundreds of operatives. If the Zoom rumor contains any truth, it represents the evolution from hardware compromise to software compromise, from physical infiltration of devices to digital infiltration of communications. The pagers required months of supply-chain engineering. An IP geolocation exploit requires only that the target connects to a network.
Hezbollah’s response will be predictable: abandon all digital communications. Go dark. Return to couriers and face-to-face meetings. But that response creates its own vulnerability. Couriers can be followed. Face-to-face meetings require physical movement that satellites and drones track. The more Hezbollah retreats from digital infrastructure, the slower its command cycle becomes, and the slower the command cycle, the less capable the organisation is of coordinating the kind of distributed response that Mosaic Defence requires.
This is the intelligence trap that decapitation campaigns create. Every adaptation the target makes to survive reduces its operational effectiveness. Go digital and risk geolocation. Go analogue and risk paralysis. The IDF does not need to confirm the Zoom rumor for it to achieve its strategic purpose. The rumor alone forces Hezbollah to assume its communications are compromised, which degrades command and control whether or not the compromise actually exists.
The pagers changed the supply chain. If the IP tracking is real, it changes the meeting. If neither method was used and Israel has something else entirely, it changes the assumption that any form of communication is secure. In all three cases, the effect is identical: Hezbollah’s command structure operates under the permanent assumption of penetration. And an organisation that assumes it is penetrated behaves like an organisation that already is.
For the direct strike against the mullahs that took out Khohamani the IDF hacked the traffic light system so as to monitor the vehicles of those attending gather at their arranged meeting destination.
Talk of the negotiations in Hungary, the mullahs reverted to the ancient method of using children as ‘runners’ to deliver and receive negotiation requirements. Young children can go anywhere without being noticed apparently.
Now would be a great time to be selling homing pigeons in the ME.
I am not a fan of bombing civilians, and I do not know all the truth about how much the IDF does do indiscriminate bombings. However, they have shown the world that their intelligence is superb and to fuck with them has consequences. Having grown up in Johannesburg with a very large Jewish ( although not Zionist) population, and having studied with them and taught them at schools, I have a lot of respect for them, and the Israelis in general. What I hope eventuates out of the current situation is a serios degrading of Hamas and Hezbollah and any other raghead bunch keen on destroying Israel. Degrading the IRGC further would be an optimum result, as would regime change in Iran. As for all the Trump Derangement, I reserve judgement. I suspect there are a whole bunch making decisions, he just puts out provocative tweets. He is no fool, and beware anyone who negotiates with him thinking that.
Clever little Israeli’s.
They have done similar in the past!
Poor bloody arabs will have to go back to checking the goats arse for messages again!
Sounds like another good reason to use a VPN, lol.
Along the same lines, of just what is the truth, of the acclaimed 4d or 5d of Trump.
The reason there is no cease-fire is Iran no longer has a functioning government.
Trump negotiated with one of the larger factions.
There are 24 factions
Not all of them want peace. Not all of them will even negotiate.
So what is Trump doing?
It should be completely obvious to anyone who is not intentionally not wanting to understand.
He is pitting the factions against each other with competing interests for money and power and safety.
And when one of them betrays the other, they will take care of the bad one.
If they don’t, then Trump will randomly target them again and blame them all as if they are one government.
That will frustrate them greatly, causing them again to turn on each other because there is no longer any single central authority.
This is absolutely brilliant, but if you think it’s gonna mean peace, if you think the Strait is really going to be open, and if you think Iran has surrendered and decided to play nice, you are delusional.
[Where Iaasb is so sort of right 😉 but to continue ….]
If you think Trump wants to murder 90 million people you are beneath delusional: you are intentional.
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” —- Hanlon’s Razor
On on the topic of “Razors” that cut, KISS, “Keep it Simple, Stupid”
Most people oversimplify Occam’s razor to mean the simplest answer is usually correct.
But the real meaning, what the Franciscan friar William of Ockham [circa-1400] really wanted to emphasize, is that you shouldn’t complicate, that you shouldn’t “stack” a theory if a simpler explanation was at the ready.
Pare it down. Prune the excess.

PUTIN ANNOUNCES EASTER CEASEFIRE IN UKRAINE
From 16:00 April 11 to end of day April 12

Easters been and gone.
Hurry, Hurry, buy your Easter buns and chocolate eggs.
Umm, ignorant fool, they use a different calender.
Russian Easter (Orthodox Pascha) is usually celebrated on a different date than Western Easter because the Eastern Orthodox Church uses the ancient Julian calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar introduced in 1582. The calculation is further separated because Orthodox tradition strictly dictates that Easter must occur after the Jewish Passover and follow a specific lunar cycle.
The deranged followers of Xtianity can scarcely agree on the existence of Christ never mind the date of the crucifixion.
You will soon find the said “saintly returner” at Red Radio. Lol
You brave calling Putin “deranged”. Happy Cyclone watching..
I have a feeling that the chances of experiencing a cyclone this Sunday rank with my odds of undergoing an epiphany. I’ll suspect that I’ll have to settle for a gentle zephyr & a light shower along with the frenzied rattle of rosary beads as the unhinged pray to the non-existent for their salvation. 🙂

First lie, “it was downgraded last night” No it wasn’t, it became a tropical storm on 8 April at 18h GMT. Then a whole bunch of platitudes about a severe storm blah blah and potentially life threatening. Yup any situation is potentially life threatening if you are an idiot. Even a bed. But the worst. (Need a new paragraph for this)
I said to my wife ( no, not “she’s doable”, I am not an idiot), I said” she effing talks and sounds like Ardern, same tilted head, same concerned face, same timbre and rhythm as that fucking Bitch.” That completely enraged me, and I stormed out muttering and cursing life. I do hope this storm is life threatening, to the cretins that infest TVNZ and the politicians in Wellington, and the useless fucks that forecast this shit instead of careful, measured, statistically verifiable, objective science.
Remain calm, I’ll be back on air soon.

‘F** Off!’: My Incredible Interaction With Far North Mayor

13 mins 20 secs : Apr 9, 2026 : Duncan Garner Podcast :
….. the worst advertisement for local government accountability in New Zealand history.
The situation in the Far North has reached a boiling point.
It follows serious claims from Councillor Davina Smolders about the influence of unelected members at the council table, alleging that 15 Iwi and Hapu representatives sit alongside just six elected members on certain committees.
When Duncan reached out to Mayor Moko Tepania to offer him a fair and professional right of reply, the response was a direct and profane “f off” sent from the Mayor himself.
Duncan argues this isn’t just an insult to the media, but a “one-fingered salute” to the ratepayers who fund the council and deserve transparency.

Far North Co-Governance: Unelected Members Making BIG Council Decisions
https://youtu.be/ontS2Pf_nWA
31 minutes : 7th April, 2026 : Duncan Garner Podcast.
Garner investigates the rapid shift toward unelected governance in the Far North District Council.
Councillor Davina Meads joins the show to blow the whistle on a committee structure where six elected members are sitting alongside 15 unelected iwi and hapu representatives—all with full voting rights on multimillion-dollar decisions.
Davina discusses the lack of transparency in how these decisions are shaped before they even reach the full council table and the impact this has on local rate payers.
We also hear the personal toll of speaking out, including the harassment and death threats Davina has faced since taking her seat.
Is this the future of local government in New Zealand, or is it a “coup” happening in plain sight?
Duncan challenges the government’s silence on the issue and asks what it means for the principle of equal citizenship.

CoGovernance,backed basically by this Tri-Coalition Government, to the point of over-riding representation while maintaining powers of taxation, rating,
The current government is deep within this as it has not allowed the Treaty Principle Bill, and again seems to have stymied the Regulartory Bill, whilst NZ First have not bothered to take any Tweety clauses out of Legislation,
Thanks for re-posting S1. I had previously posted the earlier D Garner video with the complaint by “Davina”, far North elected councillor complaining the six elected members in committee were overwhelmed by up to 15 non-elected iwi, including Hone Harawira and the bros.
I also previously posted Michael Laws re local councils adopting obligations of the TOW when lawfully only central govt has TOW obligations.
Laws spoke of “Hart v local government”(from memory) judgement. The court ruled local govt is overstepping their legal remit.
Sorry, can’t find.
How do I know that the weather Armageddon promoted by the MSM will be a damp squib instead of a bomb.
I read Stuff & they reckon “MetService, the Prime Minister and government agencies have been urging communities to prepare since Wednesday.”
Given their track records what better recommendation for a picnic at the beach?
Might join you and bring kite surfing gear. However, as morons in this part of the world use every storm to drive into powerlines, I have checked that the generators are working. besides that, she’ll be right. As I look out the window I see the 1st clouds of the impending cataclysm…. Do I put Teddy Bears in the window for this? Can’t remember. Must tune in to the podium of Truth to hear about the number of days fuel we have (it has always been about 60, we can’t store more) and how life threatening this Tropical Cyclone is going to be. Just waiting for the phones to start with their effing alerts…..
Too funny. I’m guessing they’ll get blown off sometime Sunday.

I’d leave them there and come back Sunday arvo, they should be much more contrite by then. No KFC, no Maccas and no contact.
id prefer to see them firehosed off with no soft landing.
If the NZ weather forecasters are vaguely right, they will get blown off. Unfortunately they will probably just get soaked. Surely the could attach electric fencing to the roof to give them a bit of a tingle?
Will Peters throw his toys out of his cot?
Hopefully he will have to pay for the cost of all this.
Judge Ema Aitken to keep top job after high-profile fracas at Northern Club involving Winston PetersA conduct panel has concluded that behaviour by Judge Ema Aitken at Auckland’s exclusive Northern Club in 2024 was “a serious breach of comity”, but the panel stopped short of removing Aitken from her post as a District Court Judge.
Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith said the Judicial Conduct Panel, which is typically made up of judges and lawyers, found Aitken’s removal was not justified.
“The Judicial Conduct Panel has found that Judge Aitken’s actions were a serious breach of comity. Comity requires each branch of government – the executive, the judiciary and the legislature – to act with mutual restraint and respect towards the others,” Goldsmith said.

Why. She acted like a cunt and should have been given the heave-ho. Any judge behaving like that towards a lefty politician would have been.
She should fucking pay.
So you believe that freedom of speech is for a few and not all?
And that a pollie should be able to silence people by going to court with the taxpayer’s dollar.
He has considerable form for that and for bagging people under privilege.
I am impressed with how you stand up for the rights of drunken hecklers.
The old boys (& old girls) club have won the day. With the right handshake & knowledge of where the bodies are buried you can spit roast live babies on public TV without consequences.
Is that different from doing the same thing under privilege in the parliament?
It’s about what I would expect from a politician. For some occult reason I’ve always held the judiciary higher in my esteem.
I was wrong.
We heard about doomers calling President Trump “TACO”. Clever MAGA

The Panel: Winston Surges As National Struggles For Direction
The political landscape in New Zealand is shifting fast. Duncan Garner is joined by Janet Wilson and Ashley Church to discuss the incredible rise of Winston Peters and New Zealand First, who are currently sitting at a historic high in the polls. We ask if National has run out of ideas and why they seem to be conceding so much ground to the “old fox” of NZ politics. …
Nah. Wishful thinking. But as I said, if they did by some miracle make 20%, they will want Winston to be P.M. That’s a fact 🙂.
The media is sucking up to a blog host’s polling.
Eh.
He will blow his arse out as he always does.
I don’t reckon Muslims go far enough in killing people who draw images of the prophet Mohammed.
I think they should kill people who are named after him as well.
Be virtually no one alive in Birmingham or Galway…. BTW what’ s the common girls name in Islam? ( no Nanny doesn’t count), got to be of the same species….
In Islam girls are sub human so they may not bother with names.
Blimey – Northland’s declared a state of emergency and the storm’s not even here!
Cyclone Vaianu threat: Northland state of emergency, Auckland Harbour Bridge closure warning issued – NZ Herald
What happened to all their mumbo-jumbo? One would expect them to invoke some taniwha and sing a waiata or two, to appease the weather gods
Or does that shit only work when whitey pays koha?
Mission Creep as learnt from the Covid panic.
Seems to be another version of “Emergency Use Approval” used to mandate falsely untested, vaccines before it was figured they did not stop anyone getting the disease or stopping transmission.
So it worked there, so lets push the concept onto the NZ State of Emergency; by AI :—
Special Powers: Authorities (such as Mayors or the Minister for Emergency Management) gain powers to evacuate people, close roads, enter premises without a warrant, and close public places.
Resource Command: Officials can requisition property, such as vehicles or buildings, to assist in the response.
Coordinated Response: It ensures emergency services (Police, Fire, Ambulance) work alongside specialized Civil Defence teams, central government, and local councils.
Legal Protections: The declaration ensures that those acting on behalf of Civil Defence have legal cover for their actions in an emergency. So the techno-bureaucrats arses are well covered now.
To also bear in mind, that like in Hurricane Katrina, and some issues in Canada, the police then took it as their emergency to raid all gun safes & seize the guns, of course in the name of your safety for the good of the community.
So what ever provisions, in your wisdom & care that you have put aside for yourself, family, etc., can be taken used as the officials see fit.
So what you think is yours can be requistioned for whatever cause they deem worthy of.
Will Hone impose road blocks to the Far North?
All Hone needs is some Far North District or Regional Council to swear him in as “Deputy Dawg” in the name of Civil Defence then he can do what he deems to fit, knowing there is no accountablility, so his tyrannical arse is covered.
Maybe 15 of the unelected out of the 21 in the Far North council can grant all those powers?
Apologies to the Monkeys

Another fall from grace detailed at https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/teacher-david-gregory-shaw-sentenced-for-indecent-acts-at-christchurch-swimming-pool/JW2X5A7K2BD6REGG2Y5VS5SNPA/ The gist of the story is a dirty old man exposing himself to prepubescent boys. Only the fact that he was a teacher & “a regular churchgoer” differentiates the sorry tale from too many others.
For me the salient point is how the exposure will affect the boys in the medium/long term & it is here that I wonder if parental over-egging of the gravity of incidents doesn’t cause unnecessary & disproportional harm to their sons. From two of the victim impact reports (written by the mad mothers):
#. “Our son is a caring 10-year-old boy. On the day of the incident, he and his best friend were having fun. In a single moment, you shattered that sense of normalcy. When you exposed yourself to them, you took away their innocence,” she said.”
#. ““Since this has happened, he has been clingy, angry and he has turned into a worried mess. I worry about his future.”
Fair up. They saw something highly inappropriate that they shouldn’t have seen but they weren’t physically harmed & in the scheme of things it wasn’t a big deal. How the parents view the episode is up to them but it seems likely that their over the top reactions have created grade A victims rather than winners & survivors.
If ever there was a case that begs more for a dose of harden the fuck up & get over it I doubt I’ve heard of it.
The government says it can’t control fuel prices, but it can fix the climate.
How does that work?
Orbán terminates ALL EU treaties – Von der Leyen is SPEECHLESS and the EU empire is tottering!_hannah
“Today, Europe’s political landscape changed forever.”
In Budapest, before the eyes of the entire world, Viktor Orbán stepped up to the podium of the Hungarian Parliament and uttered the one sentence that sent shockwaves through Brussels: “Hungary is terminating all EU treaties.” No hesitation, no negotiations, no half measures — a clear and irreversible declaration.
https://forumworld.feji.io/blog/orban-terminates-all-eu-treaties-von-der-leyen-is-speechless-and-the-eu-empire-is-tottering-hannah
Can’t confirm that so ?
So is that a pre-election policy, a promise????
So easily reversed in the next day few days if he loses.
It does seem the election could be too close to call at this stage, & we are too far away to even evaluate whatever polls.
As I commented a while ago, Hungarian elections, on their Saturday, 12th April, 2026, their time.
Unlike the world wide headlines news of Ursala Von der Leyen European Parliament resignation a week or so ago.
Either way this election will be properly reported;—
What will really be headlines news will be the results of that Hungarian election. ….. — the next couple of days, as NATO, Ukraine, EU Parliament & even Russia have a lot at stake, on which way the Hungarian elections, Orban & his Party will be successful or Not.
SHE’S A PARASITE ON AUSTRALIAN TAXPAYERS!” — Pauline Hanson Unleashes Ferocious Attack on Fatima Payman’s $15 Million Mystery Wealth as NACC Launches Full Criminal Investigation
In a savage and deeply personal attack rarely seen in the Senate, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has launched a brutal assault on Senator Fatima Payman, accusing her of being a “greedy parasite” who has allegedly rorted millions from Australian taxpayers while building a secret multi-million dollar fortune. Waving a thick folder of documents, Hanson exploded during Senate Question Time ..

“This woman is an absolute disgrace!” Hanson thundered, her voice echoing through the Senate. “Fatima Payman has rorted **$128,000** in family travel entitlements in just three years. She charged taxpayers **$310 a night** to sleep in her own investment property in Canberra!
And now we discover she has quietly built a **$15 million mystery wealth empire** while pretending to care about the poor and oppressed!
The National Anti-Corruption Commission has now launched a **full criminal investigation** into her finances — and rightly so!”
Talley’s is considering closing its Westport fish processing factory and has started consulting with staff.
RNZ understands about 80 jobs could be lost.
The Buller Mayor has described the proposed closure as devastating news for locals.
In a statement, Talley’s Limited chief executive Tony Hazlett said it was looking at consolidating its operations at the Westport site.
“The proposal reflects productivity and efficiency improvements made across Talley’s processing network, which now allows the total volume of fish to be processed through Talley’s Motueka and Timaru facilities,” Hazlett said.

The Four ‘British Nationals’ who illegally crossed into the country through Maine from Canada are named:
Ali Mohamed Ali Abdullah, 18
Hameed Mohammed Nagi, 21
Ibrahim Ayyub Khan, 27 and
Mohammed Sultan Saleh, 22
Main stream media is emphasizing that they are all British citizens.
CBP says that illegal migrants are now finding new areas in which to cross into the country unseen.
The men – who were arrested -had just walked across the border from Canada near the St. Zacharie port of entry, a few hundred yards into thick forest on the U.S. side.
Maple sugar workers spotted them hiking south on the road and tipped off Border Patrol.
Agents found the group trying to hide in roadside brush.
Court records detail how the illegal migrants told agents they were “just going for a hike” and didn’t realize they had crossed into the United States.
However, one of the illegal migrants, Saleh, had everything recorded on a GoPro.
He can be heard saying,
“I can confirm you are now on US Soil,” and later told the group,
“Now, we are in the U.S. Just made it, baby,” while showing GPS coordinates on his phone.
Another man asked, “I’m on US Soil?” Cellphone searches on the day of the crossing included
“bangor from my location,”
“boston from bangor,”
“new york from boston,” and questions about the St. Zacharie border crossing and Golden Road.
Fresh footprints led agents right to the spot where the group had crossed a few hundred feet from the port of entry.
#boston
Agents also found a gray Nissan parked nearby, out of gas, with two U.S. citizens inside.
One of them later admitted that the driver had dropped off one of the illegal migrants in the same area about a month earlier and was there to pick them up this time.
#Maine
A loaded 9mm handgun was also found under the driver’s seat.
Text messages on the driver’s phone talked about pickup times and logistics. It is not yet clear if the two Americans will face charges for smuggling.
The illegal migrants are facing federal charges of illegal entry without inspection, a misdemeanor that carries up to six months in prison and a $5,000 fine.
They pleaded not guilty and are being held without bail. Trial is set for June 3.

They are idiots. Get Google Earth and scroll along the USA Canada border. There are hundreds of places where you can slip through and never get picked up.
Stolen from somewhere:
“Muslims are not happy in the Gaza or Iran. They’re not happy in Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, Lebanon and Bahrain.
Where they feel happy?
Muslims are happy in Australia. They’re feeling happy in the UK, France, Italy and Germany. They are happy in Sweden, United-States, Norway and all other non-Muslim countries.
Who they blame their sadness on?
They blame it neither on Islam nor their Muslim leaders and not themselves.
They blame it on the countries in which they feel happy, and they want to change those countries to be more like their own countries where they were not happy at the first place.”
bit quiet ’round ‘er taxdodgers. Whats the goss? Just back from a feed at the Sands Bar, Nelson. Couldn’t fault it.

Most readers will be familiar with the story of The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy finds herself in a house blown away by a tornado. The house comes down in an unknown land, which turns out to be Munchkinland in the Land of Oz.
Our version finds Saggy & Mrs Saggy in bed as the house rises into the air & the petrified couple are blown into the lush paddocks of the Waikato where the bed lands gently. Mrs S is overcome & bursts into tears.
“What’s wrong?” asks our hero. “We’re safe. There’s nothing to cry about.”
She turns to him brushing the tears from her eyes. “Those were tears of happiness. This is the first time we’ve been out together since we got married twenty years ago.”
Mrs Saggy was in bed. I was under it remember.
WG’s new neighbours then?
