What about Attenboroughs walrus’s that fell to their deaths?
Also remember Al Gore’s lonely polar bears that have increased in number.

Morning Troopers.

The hospo business is tough. A cafe that makes its point of difference by excluding 90% of potential customers has got to fail unless they’re propped up (this could be where we come in). I hope no bank gave them a loan. I’d love to read the business case.

Only white or white who self-identity as “Maori” would use such a cafe.
The cafe (if smart) would have a link on its website to a Maori language training video, educating patrons on how to order correctly.
On the other hand, since coffee shops originated in Europe, are Maori not guilty of cultural appropriation?

Go in the door to the cafe, pull some larger notes out of the wallet,
Whistle to get their attention, wave the notes and walk out the door!

“Go in the door to the cafe.”

“Haere ki te kuaha ki te kawhe.” There fixed it for you.

And no point waving notes. Maori never has notes, and besides notes have English printing.

I visited their website rumaki.org.

So is it a business or a charitable trust?Both. A charity can run a business (and make profits) to fund its charitable purposes. During this establishment phase of the cafe, we are seeking donations and grants. Once the doors are open, Rumaki will be self-funded by the operations of the cafe. It is not a charitable trust that will need to rely on ongoing external funding.

Self funding? This place makes buying lotto tickets to keep the business afloat look like a sound financial decision. I suppose there is always the TAB and when that fails they could always try the vegan restaurant option.

How to know for sure it’s all Hantavirus is pure spin.

“there is another solid reason to ignore this stupid story: the media is clearly lying through omission.
The average age of cruisers onboard the MV Hondius is 65. As usual, allegedly respecting the “privacy” of dead people, the media is revealing virtually nothing useful about the three passengers said to have died from their hantavirus infections, not even their ages (much less whether they had any comorbidities or were immune-compromised).
The media reports the age of virtually everyone and everything it covers. It’s like a nervous tic. It must be in the stylebook. Walter Wienerslav, 73, said he is furious watching his MAGA neighbor, Jenny Jenkins, 37, planting agave where his beloved Shih Tzu Little Walter, 12, loves to play. The three passengers who died of hantavirus aboard the Hondius are, as of this writing, the only people in any news story this year whose ages have not been reported. The media has explained this as a matter of “privacy.” The deceased could not be reached for comment on whether they found this respectful or suspicious.”

Was think about a cruise, had another think Fly to Aussie the think about cost of flying and the new exit tax so that idea too the exit route as well – predictions Cruises and Airlines will see less customers less revenue and losses with the Aussie tax take falling as well. Stay at home and support local business instead.

CIA is spilling the beans on Covid origins. I hope Fauci has a good lawyer…..

https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/cia-analysts-believed-covid-19-came-from-lab-leaders-buried-assessments-whistleblower-6025165?

“Erdman, who led an investigation into how intelligence officials handled assessments of the origin of COVID-19, said that documents obtained during the probe show that as of Aug. 12, 2021, the CIA was considering describing the origin as a lab leak. That changed five days later.

Erdman said that the CIA declined to provide his team the documents they requested that may have shed light on the change, but that it happened after Dr. Anthony Fauci, then-head of the National Institutes of Health—which provided funding for the Wuhan lab—met with intelligence community officials and provided a list of experts with whom he had a long history.

A previous whistleblower said that the CIA team that analyzed the COVID-19 origin consisted of seven people, six of whom favored the lab leak theory, and that the officers were paid to change their position.”

These fuckers lied about the origin, and lied about the vaccines. They deserve to be shot. That includes Ardern and Hipkins, Bloomfield , Baker and the Pink Whale.

Wow, a Café where they speak only Maori. I’m so excited. I’m also looking forward to the opening of the Marae Kai where they speak only French.

But in any case they are NOT a Te Reo only cafe. If it was, ALL communications would be in Te Reo, including the advert. It should be in Te Reo, and what better way attract Te Reo speakers and weed out non Te Reo speakers by having the advert in Te Reo.

And Café in Te Reo is Kawhe. So the Rumaki Kawhe.

And cups, saucers, teaspoons, cafe’s. coffee, teas, scones, cakes, sausage rolls, coffee machines, even milk, are all decidedly non-Maori.

The new managing director walked into the office & instantly threw his weight around. He took an envelope from his pocket. “You there, here’s $10k cash, now get your stuff & fuck off out of my company.”

As the guy left the office, the director asked, “OK, who’s next & what role did that arsehole have?” 

“He was the Uber Eats driver, boss, he just delivered our lunch.”

For those of us who wonder how Starmer clings to power in the UK this article https://expose-news.com/2026/05/13/whos-keeping-starmer-in-office/ offers a few ideas:

#. Starmer is a deep state plant for the WEF.”At Davos in 2023 he was asked in an interview,“[If] you have to choose now between Davos or Westminster [which would you choose]?”

Without hesitation, the then leader of His Majesty’s opposition replied: “Davos.”

#. “…..Starmer is committed to supporting multipolarity and, in so doing, subverting the UK to facilitate global governance; embraces fifth stage capitalism; wants to install a Technocracy; and, believes democracy should be limited and economic and political growth engineered to enable a corporate aristocracy to rule.”

Not a bad wrap up of the unspoken intentions of NZ’s National & Labour parties either.

Yesterday Alopecia Jesus delivered a pre budget waffle speech to a business audience in Auckland. From https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/politics/less-new-money-to-be-spent-in-budget-prime-minister-tells-businessnz/

#. “Luxon said National will have a “careful” immigration policy heading into the election and he was aware immigration issues can fracture communities and social cohesion.”

#. “My message to the business community is that when it comes to immigration, when faced with a choice between social stability and your bottom line, I will choose the former every single time.”

Could it be that the cloth eared idiots in Wellington have woken up to the fact that Kiwis don’t want to share Godzone with the human flotsam & jetsam dragged our of the gutters of the world’s (mostly Islamic) shitholes?

Or maybe it is election year.

Alwyn Poole’s latest substack article makes a great point about the leadership vacuum in NZ politics.

When I was 20yo (1987) – and weighed approx. 70kg (dripping wet – with sinkers in my pockets) – I had the privilege of playing a star-studded NZ Maori rugby side. The opposition included the likes of Frano Botica, Scott Chricton, Arthur Stone, Steven Pokere, Eric Rush, Charlie McAlister, Hika Reid and – scariest of all – the rugby TERMINATOR – Buck Shelford.

I was not frightened until – 20 minutes before the match – I was outside the changing rooms getting a sprig change and had the misfortune of hearing Buck Shelford’s pre-game speech to his players. I admired every word. I respected every sentiment. I either wanted to change sides (but unlike David Seymour I have no Maori heritage) or I wanted to go home and have a lie down.
Keep in mind that Buck Shelford did not lose a single test as All Blacks captain and could play with an exposed testicle.
There are many forms of leadership but a key indicator of effective leadership is that people are inspired to follow.

Jesus to Peter and Andrew: ““Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men“ Both men immediately left their nets and followed Him.”

Martin Luther King Jnr: “Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now. I just want to do God’s will. And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land!”

Sir Winston Churchill: “We shall fight them on the beaches … “

The very latest political poll in NZ has the following stats re preferred Prime Minister:

Chris Hipkins: 77% do not want him to be PM.
Christopher Luxon: 80% do not want him to be Prime Minister.
Winston Peters: 83% do not want him to be Prime Minister.

Chloe Swarbrick: 90% do not want her to be Prime Minister.

David Seymour: 93% do not want him to be Prime Minister.
Rawiri Waititi: 97% do not want him to be Prime Minister.

It did make me consider that we have a MASSIVE leadership vacuum. When Buck did his speech, I was ready to charge into their changing room and declare my allegiance (even if it was self-preservation). I am hoping that when Churchill inspired Britain that, if around at the time, I would have picked up a pitchfork and ran towards the Channel.

What would our leaders’ speech have been?

Hipkins: “Helen? Jacinda? Mummy? Anyone but Trevor!”

Luxon: “A KPI moving forward would be to bench mark our response to operationalising our defence with a line in the sand”.

Winston: “We shall fight them on the race courses. We shall fight them on the fishing boats.”

Shane Jones (guest appearance): “We shall use incomprehensible language and all manner of self-aggrandisement to talk that hind wheel off their tanks.”

Seymour: “When they challenge me I will steal their tanks and drive them up the steps of Parliament to protest … umm … umm … school lunches … but they better not share then with the hungry.”

Swarbrick: “We will welcome all immigrants, even if they are on massive warships, carrying guns, driving tanks – and/or have very restrictive social laws/expectations.”
Waititi: “You are all welcome to a bar-b-cue at JT’s.”

It is interesting that Trump gets vilified in our media for currently having an approval rating of around 40% when that would be a dream for NZs current leaders.

It would be interesting to know which current world leader kiwis would prefer to be in charge of our nation. Maybe you could indicate in the comments:

Donald Trump.
Vladimer Putin
Xi Jinping
Keir Starmer
Anthony Albanese
Mark Carney
Kim Jong Un
Emmanuel Macron
