Yes, petty attacks by Luxon against coalition partners is really pissing in his own tent. It’s rather off-putting. Would surprise me if it not only drives voters to NZ First, but some also to Labour.

Yeah, but unfortunately, Peters inserted Ardern. He must pay for that. Peters so desperately wants to be PM before he goes tits up. No, he must pay for what he did to NZ. Fuk him.

national party installed ardern, winnie had no choice really but to go with labour.

the super an attack, then bill english told him during negotiations that he didnt have the numbers and they were gunna roll him so he couldnt guarantee the coalition deal would stand….
if he went with nats there probs wouldve been a snap election within 6mnths anyways and ardern wouldve got in anyways and most likely without winston handbreak.

tbh i wont even blame winnie if he goes with labour this time round either, do nats really deserve another go? i dont fucking think so but unfortunately nats have to be there if you want act as part of govt.

I’ve never trusted Winnie and I haven’t as yet committed my vote to him, but when the barrel is empty of any other options and he appears to be putting NZ first what other option is there?

Of course it could all be Winnie electioneering rhetoric

When Cindy decided to ban exploring for oil and gas Wiston could have redeemed himself but he didn’t. What she did at that point was treasonous and should be remembered every time you fill a gas bottle. Would she have backed down? I suspect so. I hope NZF are a strong part of the next government but they won’t be able to thank me. The other problem is what happens if Winston carks it? Do we end up with blowhard Jones in the hot seat?

Wiston could have redeemed himself but he didn’t. 

Just a the smallest of redemption,, if both Jones & Peters made Ardern back down on the oil & gas exploration.
That Ardern announcement was no surprise to them !

So what was in Ardern Peters coalition agreement, that kept them so quiet ?

April 12, 2018
…… The decision was not part of the Labour-Green confidence and supply agreement or the Labour-NZ First coalition agreement. …….

….. Jones said NZ First had only backed the deal on the proviso all existing permit-holders were protected, and the transition happened over time, to give the industry certainty. ….
….. Less than a month ago, Ardern created huge expectation among environmental activists by declaring the Government was “actively considering” a call to end exploration. ….
https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/103031705/ardern-to-end-to-offshore-oil-exploration-with-short-reprieve-for-taranaki#:~:text=Prime%20Minister%20Jacinda%20Ardern%20says,end%20to%20offshore%20oil%20exploration.

Gone to the cross benches, though that would be a lot of work.
Then possible loss of income + baubles, in not being a minister

Even to mention to National, that could they create a Nat, NZ1st coalition for the remainder of the term, of 2 an a half years.

Principles, principles over baubles & $ is not in Winston Peters bag of tricks.

Just so Naaska doesn’t miss this.
Its in a news service that he claims he doesn’t read (well, we can see he really is uninformed).

Here is a story about the tenants in his Kainga Ora housing dept.

A friendly reminder that these are funded by your nice taxpayer.

You know the friendly one with CHEAP RENTS AND NICE HOUSES. Not the struggling landlords who stole the houses they own and charge the tenants humungous rents.

Thousands of Kainga Ora tenants appear before the Tenancy Tribunal
Thousands of Kāinga Ora tenants are ending up at the Tenancy Tribunal as the department continues its “firm but fair” approach to managing tenancies.
The tribunal deals with just under 30,000 cases a year. Kāinga Ora said in the 2024/2025 year, 6108 of those were instigated by it. The following year, it was 5154.
About 20% of applications were withdrawn because a resolution was reached.
“In 2024, we implemented a new firm-but-fair approach to managing tenancies. Our job is to provide tenants with a stable home for as long as they need it. In return, we expect them to be good tenants and neighbours,” a spokesperson said.

In recent weeks, cases dealt with by the tribunal included a Christchurch tenancy terminated on the grounds of anti-social behaviour. The man had tried to start a physical fight with a neighbour in front of the man’s grandchildren and told him to “sleep with one eye open”. When staff arrived at the property to talk to the tenant about his behaviour, he swore at them.
The tenant argued he had mental health issues after the death of his father and a motor vehicle accident.
In another case, a tenant was told her tenancy would end if she did not remove her friend’s dogs. A neighbour said one of the dogs bit their father-in-law and he required medical treatment.
Other times, it was because of rent arrears. One Papatoetoe tenant left a tenancy owing just over $2000 and was ordered to pay it. Another tenant was told to pay 65 payments of $108 to clear rent arrears and debt for a Mt Albert property.

Kainga Ora manages about 78,000 properties. There are about 440,000 homes in private rental arrangements.
In general, landlords instigate the bulk of Tenancy Tribunal applications, and the majority are for rent arrears.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/thousands-of-kainga-ora-tenants-appear-before-tenancy-tribunal/HSX2QPN3HZGRLFM524PRBUOOJA/

Having just waited from January to last week for a hearing for unpaid water rates and damage, we would say the Tenancy Tribunal leaves a lot to be desired.

What is a matariki and why/what is it in celebration?

The claim of Starwalkers belongs to the Urukehu, a fair-skinned people who along with the Wiataha, Kiritea and Moriori where here thousands of years before the cannibal Maori who arrived much later, around 1400AD.

Unfortunately the Uruke were killed, eaten, or taken as slaves by Maori.There are ancient stone arrangements, cave paintings and artifacts dating from well before Maori. Some many thousands of years old.

The Maoris tend to appropriate everything. And Matariki is the cover story for ancient artifacts etc that suggest intelligence. It is rather like the bullshit that the Sphinx and Pyramids were built with laser precision by slaves using crude adzes and flax ropes to build them.

If things don’t improve, in a couple of hundred years, history will show that Maori split the atom.

A wise woman left this comment on my page about the Covid crimes and I think it represents a large number of us.
When the mandates came we stood in the gap for our staff and their family members who lived on farm. All were “mandated” by the corporate who owned the farms. None of the staff or their children got the jab while they were with us. We were careful not to apply pressure either way but gave them the Govt info and the NZDSOS website. It was their free choice.
All our kids enquired how to address the mandates placed on them by employers or learning institutions. None of them wanted it. None of their concerns were considered by their employers or institutions. All our kids got the jabs in order to keep their homes, jobs, complete courses they had already gone into debt for. They knew they were rolling the dice.
They didn’t know it broke my heart. Because it wasn’t them holding the gun. It was our government and all the puppets who gave their minds to it. The other parent and all the extended family. I taught the kids to respect all of them.
Imagine telling someone in their 20s that if they didn’t take a substance you would fire them, and in the next breath saying you’re sorry. That’s where our NZ people are at. Already lost? What is a people without a spirit? Without a spine that would tell them to die first, before risking a young person’s life?
I raised my kids to be responsible. Unemployment and debt also went against the grain and the reassuring lies were 24/7. I raised them to respect coaches, elders, bosses and tutors. They were betrayed.
I have been told by anti-jabbers who’s child or children did not get jabbed, mostly because they were living at home or still young enough to avoid the mandates, that my children are no longer human. Or that they don’t respect me, or that I didn’t raise them right. They praise themselves infront of the wounded. Yay for them. Really. Shout it louder.
Most adults in New Zealand were blackmailed. We know how many would not have got it if there was zero pressure. We had no right to ask our staff but they freely told us they did not get jabbed.
When you see victim blaming please confront it. No matter where it comes from. People who do that are no ones friend. The one upmanship disgusts me.
I am glad that I know, and I think that my children know, that death is not the end. It is a beginning. They know Jesus, and that he is the great I am. God existing from beginning to end. I have stood in the halls of the New Jerusalem with Jesus and the key take away was the all encompassing almost over whelming joy of his presence. Like nothing I have ever seen or felt before.
I want my children to have the full mortal life journey. Climb their mountains. Learn their lessons. To grow in steadfastness, love, faith and honour. I am putting all this in God’s hands again today.
Too bad I have to step so far from the crowd to be closer to God.
Below is the list of some of the villains. pic

We are redistributing wealth in the wrong direction.
On average, older New Zealanders have significantly higher net wealth than younger New Zealanders. Decades of saving, investing and rising house prices have seen to that.
Yet New Zealand still provides universal NZ Super and heavily subsidised healthcare regardless of an individual’s wealth.
That means taxpayers, many of whom have little or no net wealth, help fund benefits for people who may have assets worth millions of dollars.
At the same time, Treasury projections show the cost of NZ Super and healthcare will continue to rise as our population ages, placing increasing pressure on younger taxpayers and future government budgets.
A welfare system should exist to support people who need help, not to provide the same taxpayer funded benefits to everyone regardless of their financial position.
If we want a system that is fair and financially sustainable, government spending needs to be reduced.
At a minimum, high cost universal benefits such as NZ Super should be means tested so taxpayer support is focused on those who genuinely need it.

=================================
The problem with this comment is that we never know how long that wealth has to be available,( tell me how long you are going to live and what your dependencies might be as you go along that journey.) and often it’s not in a cashable state.

all of the above… along with means testing, raising the age, plus making health care only partially subsidized and not fully free.
i also believe public funded healthcare should end once av life expectancy has been exceeded, well maybe not scrapped entirely but limit it at the very minimum and defund all the major stuff anyways.
its a waste of time and resourse poking cancer treatments and heart ops at those that can go belly up at any stage, i also think the same should apply to anyone on a bene longer then a few years too… no point keeping those cunts alive either.

But never mind, the Tainui University is set to take over our city with hordes of Indian students
There’s an opportunity there for anyone who can run a curry munchers takeaway.
Downtown will soon look like Mumbai. It’s getting there already.

Waikato University plans new India campus to boost education links
Waikato University is increasing collaboration with Indian institutions to create a two-way exchange of talent, ideas and innovation, writes Graham Skellern
The University of Waikato is planning its second offshore campus to strengthen its education ties and capture opportunities in the vast Indian market.
The university’s vice-chancellor, Professor Neil Quigley, says India has become a strategic priority because of a “growing community of Indian students studying with us, strong and expanding research partnerships, and increasing engagement with Indian universities and industry”.
He says India is one of the world’s largest higher education and knowledge markets. Combined with recent policy reforms and the strengthening relationship between New Zealand and India, “there is significant potential to deepen our collaboration across education and research.

“Many of our relationships globally go beyond recruitment,” says Quigley. “Indeed, the importance of brand recognition in markets where we want to recruit means that developing and promoting other types of relationships go hand-in-hand with recruitment.

“In India, we already have institutional partnerships with quality Indian universities covering student mobility, research collaboration, progression pathways and professional engagement.”

Now, Waikato University wants to take the relationship one step further through transnational education and delivering programmes in another country.

The university, which has a dedicated recruitment team based here and in India, currently has 850 Indian students in Hamilton, mainly post-graduates studying for master’s degrees.

“We limit international students to 25% of the total enrolment. Our internationals have reached 2800, with more than a third from India and the limit has hit around 22%. We have a little bit of room to grow international students but not enough,” says Quigley.

“In the past, we’ve had quite a concentration of international students from China but India has come on strongly as a student force. India’s population is quite young – about half of the 1.4 billion are under the age of 25 – and more are looking for educational opportunities.”

Waikato University is talking with potential joint-venture partners to establish a campus in two Indian cities. They are not New Delhi or Mumbai, is all Quigley would say.

“The partners will provide the infrastructure and we will provide the academic programme and staff. We’ve got a medical school to build in Hamilton by early 2028 but I’d like to think we can have a campus in India by September 2028.”

Quigley said a five-year plan for the campus would be to enrol up to 5000 students.

“Against the scale in India, this is a drop in the ocean, but we will take it sensibly and stick to the things we are good at.”

Quigley says the branch campus is a means of providing access to Waikato degrees for undergraduate students who primarily wish to study in India, and also establish relationships with businesses there.

“We can build into our programmes the outstanding expertise that exists in India, for example, India’s leadership in digital payments can be built into our fintech programme.”:

There is already a campus in China – the University of Waikato Joint Institute at Hangzhou City University delivers three full undergraduate Waikato degrees: Bachelor of Business (Finance) and two Bachelor of Design programmes, in media and interface design, approved by China’s Ministry of Education.

Waikato University also has programmes running in Vietnam at the National Economics and Van Lang Universities in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The programme includes a Bachelor of Business with majors in digital business and supply chain management.

“Our partnerships, including India, give undergraduate students the chance to do some study in New Zealand. They may do two years in India and two years here or one and three years.” Quigley says.

“Some may want the opportunity to study in New Zealand for one semester to see what it’s like, and they can cross-credit back.”

Waikato University currently has agreements with 25 Indian partner institutions, spanning student exchange, progression pathways, research collaboration and professional engagement.

From 2020 to 2025, the Waikato research collaborations with academics in India resulted in 135 publications – more than 40% of them were in STEM-related subject areas such as engineering, computer science, material sciences, earth and planetary sciences and medicine.

Earlier this year Waikato signed two memorandums of understanding with Bennett University in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh and Symbiosis International (Deemed University) Pune in the western state of Maharashtra.

Symbiosis is renowned for its multidisciplinary approach and vibrant learning ecosystem, bringing together students from 85 different countries.

The partnership will see the development of dual and joint degree programmes, exchange of academic and scholarly resources, and joint research initiatives, further enhancing the global learning experience for students from both institutions.

Bennett University offers industry-focused education in engineering, management, law, media and liberal arts, all within a high-tech, modern infrastructure.

An ex national who-ever is now a Wanganui NZFirst Candidate.

She previously held the Whanganui seat from 2017 to 2020, returning to Parliament on the list in May 2021 after the [Nick Smith’s resignation] ….

…… announced her switch of party allegiance when she attended the New Zealand First convention as a member in Palmerston North last year. ….
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/politics/691707/nz-first-haven-former-mp-harete-hipango-brownlie-latest-to-make-the-jump

So I see she has spent 3 years + in opposition, & then breathed through her nose for that time.

So she has figured out the National ship is going down.
Not to sure what that makes her?

She was an OK MP but got shafted by Luxon because she crossed the street to talk to some VFF people in her electorate. Yes, she literally walked across the street to talk to them about what they were saying with their pop up. The media saw it, ranted about it and spineless Luxon “obeyed” the MSM.

Yep got shafted for supporting the anti-jabs brigade.

Be poetic justice if she pulls enough votes to relegate the Nats. to no.3 in a coalition.

Why am I not surprized?
As that fits in with Luxon wanting total control over the social media platforms, to save the children, to bring ultimate control over just what information one is allowed to know.

Or is her lawyer occupation riding both sides of the street?

Instructors don’t usually tell you when you’re going to do your fist solo. When they think you’re ready, they just get out of the aircraft and tell you to go off and do a circuit. That way you don’t have time to shit yourself. But they usually do this when you’re on the ground.

There’s a lot to be said for towns that outlive their usefulness, accept the death throes that involve 2nd hand bookshops & craft outlets then wait around until the streets fill with tumbleweeds & stray sheets of corrugated iron blowing in the wind. They make a pleasant contrast to the former South Wairarapa service towns now infested with overpaid Wellington public servants & rapidly ageing yuppies.

One of these is Martinborough. Once the centre of a vast district where pastoral farming was king it is now Mecca for wine aficionados & assorted freaks seeking refuge from Wellington’s if only for a weekend. The gutters outside the former pubs where shearers & fencers fought, fucked & farted are now full of the limp wristed, sodomising each other while debating the merits of this season’s sauvignon blanc.

A few clicks away lies the former village of Greytown which remained firmly rooted in the 19th century until it was discovered by monied Wellingtonians thirty years back. A modest workers cottage which would fall down if the borer clapped hands would sell for north of a million. The pretentious rub shoulders with the new nobility as they jostle for space with the al fresco diners cluttering the footpaths in a desperate attempt to get noticed.

To compound the vainglorious ostentation they have embraced Matariki with open arms. Those who would sell up or seek legal advice should they have to live within two blocks of an actual Maori are gathering at kapa haka performances & workshops on weaving or traditional flute making, This is sandwiched between potluck dinners along with storytelling sessions that emphasize reflection & connection.

Wanking has become an art form.

No one wants to monitor, research, as then the government looses the narrative that it achieved in getting so many people to comply.

Even to allow people that are close enough, in their death bed to try things, but they believe the State owns you, so want to make MAID, nigh on mandatory.

An outlier. An outlier with a happy ending but an outlier nonetheless. Yet this one instance will be seized upon by the religiously deranged as an example of why everyone should wait around suffering while their non existent Skydaddy decides whether He’ll get out of bed today & knock out a few miracles.

One saved. Thousands will now suffer agonising deaths as the Godaddled assemble forces to fight voluntary death with dignity.
