🚩Alert Kiwis : Right now in Canada, the day of reckoning from UNDRIP is happening. The same UN declaration that John Key & National signed saying “Oh don’t worry it’s only aspirational” was ruled in court into being LAW. The NZ India Free Trade deal has reaffirmed UNDRIP, which breaches NZFirsts coalition agreement.
David Seymour said he didn’t know the UNDRIP clause was in the India agreement and shrugged off the concern (well he threatened Michael Laws in an interview that he won’t talk to him again should he bring it back up).
Canadians face the risk of losing their homes, national parks and natural assets risk being put into UNDRIP’s control.
Canadian courts have ruled that global UN rulings on Indigenous rights can be used to declare Aboriginal title over private land — including homes and suburbs worth billions — leaving everyday families staring down eviction threats, unsaleable properties, and a “land back” precedent that could bulldoze or confiscate your house.
In BC the Cowichan decision has sparked letters to property owners warning their titles are at risk, all under the banner of aligning laws with the UN Declaration.
This is Hepuapua / co- governance in action. And it will happen here in NZ, the Indian FTA acting as the catalyst.
listen to Canada opposition leader Pierre Polievre’s warning about UNDRIP.
12 March 2026 ……. Musqueam chief has said there’s no plans to collect rent or anything like that, “the agreement itself says that the Musqueam have Aboriginal title.”
backed by Supreme Court rulings, “means actual ownership of the land itself,” John warned. “You can’t ignore what the agreement says and just hope that this non-binding promise” is kept. What truly matters he said, “is the rights recognition agreement that has been signed by the federal government and the Musqueam.”
Secret agreements signed between federal authorities and Indian bands “sound pretty fishy to me,” remarked Ezra [Levant], asking what the JCCF president means by that language.
Secret agreements between private parties are one thing, replied John. But when it’s the government “talking about recognizing Aboriginal title over lands where two million Canadians live, that is a matter of public interest.”
I commented on this Canadian Court detail, all done in secret, in more detail with further links a few months ago & how that secret decision came about.
Unfortunately I can not find again, nor those other links. either on this site or through google.
The parallels on how also the recognition of “tikanga” sets the stage, & will bring about at some point, many more rights to cascade through NZ laws.
It is just a “right” as thrown around in the UN Declaration of Rights for Indigenous Peoples UNDRIP.
So do not be surprized when some one has to pay for others to have that “right“.
The creep from shared dual title & accepting it as CoGovernance with the supposed intent of not being dominant. ….. Yeah right …. as your rights would be rebalanced in the name of a good cause of “pluralist” “kindly” legal systems, that will paralyze you.
🤔 Perhaps get ahead of the game, just for the moment, and pay your taxes, regional & districts rates to an iwi band.
just film that, get a receipt & tell IRD or Council office, you are all paid up in full. 😁
While would the Canadian court system allow their judiciary to follow unelected UN rulings? Obvious none of the judges own affected lands. I thought Canada was a sovereign country?
Ani O’Brien wrote an article on this suggesting that by stopping Under 16’s having a smart phone it would remove the almost (as Australia have found) impossible task of removing internet content from that age group. They would still be able to have a “dumb” phone for actual talking and text.
She made the point, amongst others, that alcohol is banned by purchase on age limit. This would remove the need for over 16’s having to prove their age etc every time they went into an internet site.
nah, stop getting you knickers in a twist about everything.
removing the smartphones from kids is the way i rekon.
your not gunna see kids start carrying a laptop or setting up a desktop computer just to tiktok 🤣.
sure theyll be able to access social media on the other devices but its alot more inconvenient and a smartphone ban will be somewhat effective vs a social media ban like here in aussie. a smartphone ban wont affect you, a social media ban/ digi id will.
its very fucking simple really, you dumb old fucks who dont have young kids to watch over 24/7 have zero idea. youre too caught up in your own interests and beliefs to actually give a fuck about the safety a welfare of our young.
We also have an advantage over you late learners.
We are wiser than you, having had a lot more time to accumulate the knowledge about people..
And we don’t sit in tractor cb all day filling ya head with garbage.
Looking at a centrefold in playboy never did me any harm.I think the bad effects have been overstated by the control brigade to push their weird beliefs on to the rest of us. It’s not about stopping under 16’s, but more about stopping the rest of us from exercing our free speech and ignoring the podium of truth.
did the centerfold relentlessly bully you 24/7 to the point of suicide? did it groom you? at age 11 did it show you 3hole/airtighr gangbangs?
thats pretty much softcore shit you had compared to todays violent and demeaning porn. youre comparing oranges with pears. then you had to write a letter, stamp and post it in the mail if you wanted to send a nasty anonymous comment to someone…. fucking boomer gits still dont get it, only old coot on here that might is vikey.
alot of it is shit parenting controls but a whole generation has been ruimed and gen alpha will be even worse. if parents wont grow some balls and do whats right then dont fucking whinge when nanny state has to step in.
Designing an app to reliably stop underage children from accessing “banned” or harmful internet content is extremely difficult — bordering on impossible for a standalone consumer app to achieve high, sustained effectiveness.
A basic parental control app is feasible (many already exist). A robust one that actually prevents determined kids from reaching porn, extreme violence, grooming risks, addictive algorithms, or other harmful material across the open internet? That’s a different story. Evidence from Australia’s real-world attempt and fundamental internet architecture explain why.
Australia’s Experience as a Cautionary Tale
Australia implemented the world’s first under-16 social media ban (effective December 2025) on major platforms, requiring age assurance/verification. Early results show it has struggled significantly:
• Studies and surveys found ~85% of under-16s were still accessing restricted platforms three months later, often on their original accounts.
• Platforms frequently failed to trigger proper checks at signup; many relied on weak self-declaration or easily fooled methods (selfies, basic facial analysis). Kids bypassed via fake accounts (~15-19%), makeup/fake facial hair to fool algorithms, siblings’ IDs, VPNs, or private browsers.
• Facial age estimation proved unreliable (errors around the 16 threshold; sometimes 11-year-olds flagged as adults). VPN use surged beforehand, and activity shifted to exempted apps (Discord, Roblox, etc.).
• Millions of accounts were removed or restricted, but new ones were created easily. Enforcement actions against platforms (Meta, Google, TikTok, Snap) continue, with concerns over inconsistent compliance.
The core lesson: Motivated teens find workarounds quickly. Age verification technology exists but is far from foolproof at scale, and enforcement on global platforms is patchy. “Reasonable steps” by companies often fall short in practice.
Why a Single App Faces Massive Technical and Practical Hurdles
The internet was not designed for centralized age-based content control. Key challenges include:
• Circumvention is trivial and expected: VPNs (commercial or free), proxies, Tor, encrypted DNS (DoH), Encrypted Client Hello (ECH), alternate browsers/devices, incognito modes, public Wi-Fi, friends’ phones, or simply using web versions of apps. Modern protocols make network-level inspection (router/ISP) increasingly ineffective without breaking encryption or requiring full device management (MDM profiles), which is invasive and impractical for families.
• Content is dynamic and decentralized: Billions of sites, user-generated material, new domains/apps daily, mirrors, and coded language. Blocklists go stale instantly. AI classifiers (the best current option) suffer false positives (blocking legitimate sex ed, health, or LGBTQ+ resources) and false negatives (missing new variants, images, videos, or context). Academic research has long shown filters often have limited real impact on exposure to sexual content.
• Encryption and app ecosystems: End-to-end encrypted messaging and many social apps resist inspection. Deep packet inspection or man-in-the-middle approaches break security for banking/apps and raise serious privacy issues. Client-side scanning (on-device detection) is possible but creates its own risks around who controls the models/updates and potential surveillance creep.
• Device and platform reality: A consumer app needs deep device access (VPN configuration, accessibility services, app locking). It can be uninstalled, bypassed (known bugs exist even in Apple Screen Time and similar tools), or avoided by using another device entirely. It won’t cover school laptops, game consoles, smart TVs, or friends’ houses. Cross-platform development (iOS + Android + desktop) adds complexity, and app stores/OS makers impose limits.
• Scale, cost, and maintenance: Real-time analysis across all traffic drains battery/performance. Keeping AI models current against new evasion techniques and content requires constant expensive updates. Overblocking harms education and trust; underblocking leaves kids exposed.
• Adversarial users + human factors: Even elementary school kids in filtered environments find creative bypasses (proxies, hiding content in docs, etc.). A single app can’t address shared family devices, tech-savvy siblings, or determined curiosity/peer pressure. Privacy-invasive monitoring also creates equity issues — not every parent has equal tech literacy or trust in the app maker.
Bottom line on difficulty: A polished parental control app with web filtering, time limits, usage reports, and basic AI nudges is medium difficulty for a competent team (using Flutter/React Native + on-device ML + existing OS APIs). Making one that reliably stops access to broadly defined “banned content” for motivated under-16s across real-world internet use is extremely hard (9-10/10). It would require deep OS/platform/ISP cooperation, ongoing adversarial adaptation, and still couldn’t guarantee success. Studies of existing filters and parental controls consistently show they reduce easy access but don’t eliminate exposure for many adolescents.
The Smartphone Ban Idea
A blanket ban on smartphones for under-16s (as discussed in NZ debates) would be even harder to design/enforce effectively and carries bigger downsides. Practical issues include: defining “smartphone,” handling schoolwork/educational tools/emergencies/navigation, shared family devices, visitors, enforcement mechanisms, and black-market workarounds. It risks isolating kids socially or educationally while pushing activity to other devices or underground channels.
In the current NZ context, proposals for social media age restrictions (inspired by Australia) have come from the National side/government, with work on legislation paused or evolving as lessons are assessed. ACT has taken a clear opposing stance in inquiries and public statements, arguing such measures are easy to circumvent (citing Australia’s ~80%+ non-compliance reality), risk isolating vulnerable youth, and that effective enforcement would require intrusive steps (like broad age verification or VPN restrictions) that undermine privacy and freedoms for all New Zealanders — not just kids. ACT leader David Seymour has emphasized that any ban strong enough to stop motivated teens would control the internet for everyone, while weaker ones achieve little. This aligns closely with the technical and empirical evidence.
What Could Actually Help (More Realistic Path)
No single app or ban is a silver bullet. Evidence points to layered approaches working better than pure technical restrictions:
• Improved platform defaults and accountability (age-appropriate design, better moderation, reduced addictive algorithms for minors, easier parental tools).
• Stronger, user-friendly parental controls integrated at OS level (building on Apple Family Link / Google equivalents) with honest expectations.
• Digital literacy education in schools and homes — teaching critical thinking over just blocking.
• Addressing root drivers: mental health, boredom, peer pressure, and family dynamics.
• Targeted tools for highest-risk areas (e.g., better detection of grooming or non-consensual imagery).
A well-designed app could play a supporting role: on-device AI content analysis in a managed browser, strict app approval workflows, detailed but privacy-respecting reports for parents, and educational nudges. Market it accurately as a management and reduction tool, not a guarantee. Many commercial options already try this with mixed results — the gap is often in sustained parental engagement and realistic expectations.
Protecting children from genuine online harms is a serious priority. The intent behind these proposals is understandable. However, the technical reality and Australia’s early outcomes suggest that blanket access bans or single-app solutions face steep uphill battles due to how the internet actually works and how motivated users behave. Nuanced, evidence-based strategies that combine better tech tools with education, platform responsibility, and family involvement tend to be more effective than attempts at perfect technical control.
ACT leader David Seymour has emphasized that any ban strong enough to stop motivated teens would control the internet for everyone, while weaker ones achieve little.
This little paragraph is the reason he supports such a ban
They say history repeats, and this election will be no different. ACT will not ride the wave of anti-National voters looking for a new home.
The closer we get to the election, Seymour will reveal more of his true self to the voters.
Another shorty with an inflated opinion of himself. He has some good policies but also has catastrophic blind spots of some fundamental needs of the majority of voters.
Muslim woman in a taxi:
“Excuse me, could you turn off the music?”
Taxi driver: “Why?”
-“Music is haram (forbidden).”
-“Why is it haram?”
-“Because in the time of the Prophet Muhammad, there was no music.”
The taxi driver turns off the music, drives a few meters, and stops the car:
-“Alright, now get out.”
-“Why? We haven’t arrived yet.”
-“Because in the time of the Prophet Muhammad, there were no taxis either. Wait for a camel to pick you up.”

“Islam cannot be either ‘moderate’ or ‘not moderate.’ — Islam can only be one thing,”:—— Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Allah in Qur’an 4:74 says, “So let those who purchase the world’s life for the hereafter engage in war for the sake of Allah.
And whoever engages in war for the sake of Allah, whether he is killed or victorious, so we will give him a great wage.”
Allah in Qur’an 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers [Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden [Heavenly Paradise].
They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they kill and are killed…”.
So in much of the Western world, we are told to respect the most devout, pious adherent to Mohammad, deemed to be a good muslim.

I watch Japanese TV via a company based in Hong Kong.
One program discussed the growing shortage of bus drivers in the Tokyo region (let alone the provinces). Young Japanese don’t want to drive buses (and who can blame them).
The bus companies should increase fares and thus pay higher wages to their drivers. Of course, this would be inflationary, but wages in Japan have been suppressed for a long time.
The alternative is to take on Indian or other foreigners as drivers.
Similar things in Mandami’s New York, as the tax take severely dropped in its usual system City system.

After all it would be easy to have a hefty exit departure tax on New Zealanders.
AI:–
Canada: Canada’s “departure tax” is one of the strictest in the world, treating many globally held assets—such as cryptocurrency, private corporation shares, and non-registered investments—as disposed of right before you leave. It can force individuals to pay massive bills on paper gains they haven’t realized yet. [1]
USA: that has tax enforces an expatriation tax ….. on world wide assets.
France, Spain, Germany, and Norway—have established or expanded exit tax regimes
One can be sure that the remaining socialist countries will be seriously weighing up how to do this too.
So far in the USA one can change states & cities, but the intent of the Democrat Party is to make much of their taxes universal into Federal system.

No bird flu worst-case modelling, no compensation: Minister says farmers would carry cost As avian influenza moves closer to New Zealand, the Government says its focus is on prevention rather than worst-case planning — but farmers warn a major outbreak could be devastating. Nadine Roberts reports.
The Government has no worst-case modelling for the impact a major bird flu outbreak could have on New Zealand’s food supply or economy, while Associate Biosecurity Minister Andrew Hoggard says poultry producers whose flocks are wiped out by the virus should not expect compensation.
On Wednesday, officials confirmed the first case of the highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu virus had been detected in New Zealand.
Hoggard told Stuff on Thursday the Government’s focus had been on preparing the industry to prevent an outbreak rather than modelling its potential economic consequences, despite commissioning extensive worst-case scenario modelling for foot-and-mouth disease in 2024. https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/361006943/no-bird-flu-worst-case-modelling-no-compensation-minister-says-farmers-would-carry-cost

A former teacher who threw bricks at police during the violent end to the Parliament protest occupation has been censured and ordered to disclose his disciplinary history to future employers.
The New Zealand Teachers Disciplinary Tribunal issued its decision against Billy-James Charles Natanahira following his convictions for assault with a weapon and rioting.
The convictions related to Natanahira’s actions on March 2, 2022, when police moved to clear the 23-day occupation around Parliament, leading to violent clashes between officers and protesters.
Natanahira was convicted in the Wellington District Court in June 2024 and sentenced to five months’ community detention.
One of the secrets to living over 100 years is having high cholesterol… A massive Swedish study that followed over 800,000 people for 35 years reveals that all centenarians had high total cholesterol…The higher the LDL, the longer the patient will live. Conclusions from the Swedish AMORIS study: • All centenarians: High total cholesterol, high iron, low glucose. • The highest LDL cholesterol levels = longer lives (backed by Dr. Uffe Ravnskov and Dr. Malcolm Kendrick). Dangers of low cholesterol: • LDL <70 mg/dL → 3 times greater risk of hemorrhagic stroke. • Total <180 mg/dL → Steep increase in cancer and dementia rates. • < 150 mg/dL → Increase in chronic diseases like cancer and autoimmunity. Cholesterol: • Builds every cell and its powerhouse, the mitochondria. • Absorbs vital vitamins A, D, E, K. • Powers digestion through bile acids. • Boosts immunity against infections, viruses, bacteria, pathogens, and even cancer. • Fights depression, suicide, dementia, and cognitive decline. • Protects against toxins, heavy metals, strokes, heart disease, and osteoporosis. • Fuels ALL steroid hormones (low cholesterol levels = low testosterone and low libido). • Reduces the risk of mortality from any cause… Dr. Ben Bikman.
There is good and bad cholesterol LDL is considered bad while HDL is considered good.???
Eat low mercury fish. Salmon, Herring, White fish,Anchovies and Sardines.
Flaxseed rich in omega-3s. Buy milled or ground Flaxseed or grind in coffee grinder.
Nuts. Walnuts, almonds, pistachios.
Avocado, fresh fruit and vegetables.
Exercise, BMI of 25 or under,non smoking and limit alcohol.
Like everything excess HDL can also be detrimental.
But above all avoid Statins.
My great-aunt was 102.5. Lived in Sweden all her life. Came to NZ in about 1977 at age 86. Straight back. Feisty and read the paper in English without glasses. Never travelled this far before.

Fortunately, I have the same problem. Apparently, my cholesterol has been far too high forever. Said I didn’t care, shove ya statins where the sun don’t shine.
My dad was 9.6 and it kept him alive, although he died of lung complications from the influenza in 1917 when he was born. Still made it to late 70’s.
ACT are no better FFS Another Act fruit loop has been released from the mental asylum.
And it’s another foreign weirdo – with a twist – he’s a Matauranga Māori, Te Tirti critical theorist activist – who has posted that ‘populist Peters needs to be punished for not getting NZ involved in the Iran war disaster. He has also state in his creepy weirdo drongo videos that NZ First is left..
Dear god read on:
Panos Patros is Acts upper Harbour candidate. As chair of a leftist IT group (Te Tira Hangarau) the Waikato University academic actively promoted incorporating mātauranga Māori (Marxist pseudo māori bullshit) and kaupapa Māori into software engineering and accreditation.
He described folklore and fables as “valid, evolving ways of knowing that add value, help serve people better in Aotearoa”, and should be legitimized through evidence-based research. He supervised a student’s project on Māori software requirements elicitation using kaupapa principles, like ‘Whakawhanua-tanga” says Patros.
He supports te reo names for groups, Māori STEM initiatives (Pūhoro Academy), and viewing these as complementary to “accepted” (not strictly “Western”) science, and believes “every organisation in Aotearoa should have a māori name”
Patros also proudly spoke of his Associate Professor Te Taka Keegan, who he works with to make up neo reo “he has been prolific creating many new words/concepts for computer science and software engineering – as a lot of these concepts didn’t exist in Māori” …
So while this clown is dragging in foreign conflicts he’s also helped build the very ideology act pretends it opposes. Go look up their star candidate James Christmas – he co authored a boom with Chris Finlayson on how to install co-governance in NZ FFS.!
This is the crap in Act that Seymour is using Henry to tow into Parliament. Act is an insane party. Total PIG SLOP!
Been pondering on this dead brown skua issue and something doesn’t add up. The skua migrates from the artic to NZ around early November and returns March or April. But here we have a victim of bird flu dead on the beach mid July at least 2 months after it should have departed these shores. Now if it really did die of bird flu it must have been infected here otherwise it would have died much earlier. Even if bird flu did arrive with the Skuas as they are suggesting it must now be established in the local bird population somewhere. Tell me if I am wrong.
It was all the Greenie’s untreated shit flowing into the harbour through the sewer pipes they didn’t maintain because they wanted cycle paths wot did it.
All bullshit.
Birds like that were often washed up at Petone after raging southerlies. They get beaten up at sea and can’t feed in the weather. The get busted by the wind.
Rumour has it that Dr. Ashley “Lockdown” Bloomfield — the radical left-wing control freak and loyal foot soldier to the Socialist Commander — has apparently been running his mouth to insiders about slamming New Zealand back into full lockdowns the second bird flu cases show up.
This is the same parasite who helped turn the country into a prison during COVID now wants round two. These people just don’t learn. They just miss the power.
This isn’t politics anymore folks. This is the beginning of the end if we don’t wake the hell up. New Zealand is on the brink… and the clock is ticking louder than ever.
Wait for all politicians to get in behind whoever decides to take his advice. it has a good chance coming up to an election

In other words -Mr Safe and Effective wants to create a black market in smartphones.
Do the kids go off to the gang HQ or the pervert in the trench coat down on the corner?
Ani O’Brien wrote an article on this suggesting that by stopping Under 16’s having a smart phone it would remove the almost (as Australia have found) impossible task of removing internet content from that age group. They would still be able to have a “dumb” phone for actual talking and text.
She made the point, amongst others, that alcohol is banned by purchase on age limit. This would remove the need for over 16’s having to prove their age etc every time they went into an internet site.
It appeared to make sense to me.
Next they will be banning all desk top computers, iPads and laptops. Stupid people come up with stupid ideas
nah, stop getting you knickers in a twist about everything.
removing the smartphones from kids is the way i rekon.
your not gunna see kids start carrying a laptop or setting up a desktop computer just to tiktok 🤣.
sure theyll be able to access social media on the other devices but its alot more inconvenient and a smartphone ban will be somewhat effective vs a social media ban like here in aussie. a smartphone ban wont affect you, a social media ban/ digi id will.
its very fucking simple really, you dumb old fucks who dont have young kids to watch over 24/7 have zero idea. youre too caught up in your own interests and beliefs to actually give a fuck about the safety a welfare of our young.
We also have an advantage over you late learners.
We are wiser than you, having had a lot more time to accumulate the knowledge about people..
And we don’t sit in tractor cb all day filling ya head with garbage.
Who bought their phones for them?
Looking at a centrefold in playboy never did me any harm.I think the bad effects have been overstated by the control brigade to push their weird beliefs on to the rest of us. It’s not about stopping under 16’s, but more about stopping the rest of us from exercing our free speech and ignoring the podium of truth.
Penthouse was better. 🙂
did the centerfold relentlessly bully you 24/7 to the point of suicide? did it groom you? at age 11 did it show you 3hole/airtighr gangbangs?
thats pretty much softcore shit you had compared to todays violent and demeaning porn. youre comparing oranges with pears. then you had to write a letter, stamp and post it in the mail if you wanted to send a nasty anonymous comment to someone…. fucking boomer gits still dont get it, only old coot on here that might is vikey.
alot of it is shit parenting controls but a whole generation has been ruimed and gen alpha will be even worse. if parents wont grow some balls and do whats right then dont fucking whinge when nanny state has to step in.
Remember them kids bobing along to the gettoblaster on their shoulder?
and walking around with Walkmans and tapes with air
phone on the playback.
Oh, I forgot all the smart TV’s with access to the web.
I asked grok
Designing an app to reliably stop underage children from accessing “banned” or harmful internet content is extremely difficult — bordering on impossible for a standalone consumer app to achieve high, sustained effectiveness.
A basic parental control app is feasible (many already exist). A robust one that actually prevents determined kids from reaching porn, extreme violence, grooming risks, addictive algorithms, or other harmful material across the open internet? That’s a different story. Evidence from Australia’s real-world attempt and fundamental internet architecture explain why.
Australia’s Experience as a Cautionary Tale
Australia implemented the world’s first under-16 social media ban (effective December 2025) on major platforms, requiring age assurance/verification. Early results show it has struggled significantly:
• Studies and surveys found ~85% of under-16s were still accessing restricted platforms three months later, often on their original accounts.
• Platforms frequently failed to trigger proper checks at signup; many relied on weak self-declaration or easily fooled methods (selfies, basic facial analysis). Kids bypassed via fake accounts (~15-19%), makeup/fake facial hair to fool algorithms, siblings’ IDs, VPNs, or private browsers.
• Facial age estimation proved unreliable (errors around the 16 threshold; sometimes 11-year-olds flagged as adults). VPN use surged beforehand, and activity shifted to exempted apps (Discord, Roblox, etc.).
• Millions of accounts were removed or restricted, but new ones were created easily. Enforcement actions against platforms (Meta, Google, TikTok, Snap) continue, with concerns over inconsistent compliance.
The core lesson: Motivated teens find workarounds quickly. Age verification technology exists but is far from foolproof at scale, and enforcement on global platforms is patchy. “Reasonable steps” by companies often fall short in practice.
Why a Single App Faces Massive Technical and Practical Hurdles
The internet was not designed for centralized age-based content control. Key challenges include:
• Circumvention is trivial and expected: VPNs (commercial or free), proxies, Tor, encrypted DNS (DoH), Encrypted Client Hello (ECH), alternate browsers/devices, incognito modes, public Wi-Fi, friends’ phones, or simply using web versions of apps. Modern protocols make network-level inspection (router/ISP) increasingly ineffective without breaking encryption or requiring full device management (MDM profiles), which is invasive and impractical for families.
• Content is dynamic and decentralized: Billions of sites, user-generated material, new domains/apps daily, mirrors, and coded language. Blocklists go stale instantly. AI classifiers (the best current option) suffer false positives (blocking legitimate sex ed, health, or LGBTQ+ resources) and false negatives (missing new variants, images, videos, or context). Academic research has long shown filters often have limited real impact on exposure to sexual content.
• Encryption and app ecosystems: End-to-end encrypted messaging and many social apps resist inspection. Deep packet inspection or man-in-the-middle approaches break security for banking/apps and raise serious privacy issues. Client-side scanning (on-device detection) is possible but creates its own risks around who controls the models/updates and potential surveillance creep.
• Device and platform reality: A consumer app needs deep device access (VPN configuration, accessibility services, app locking). It can be uninstalled, bypassed (known bugs exist even in Apple Screen Time and similar tools), or avoided by using another device entirely. It won’t cover school laptops, game consoles, smart TVs, or friends’ houses. Cross-platform development (iOS + Android + desktop) adds complexity, and app stores/OS makers impose limits.
• Scale, cost, and maintenance: Real-time analysis across all traffic drains battery/performance. Keeping AI models current against new evasion techniques and content requires constant expensive updates. Overblocking harms education and trust; underblocking leaves kids exposed.
• Adversarial users + human factors: Even elementary school kids in filtered environments find creative bypasses (proxies, hiding content in docs, etc.). A single app can’t address shared family devices, tech-savvy siblings, or determined curiosity/peer pressure. Privacy-invasive monitoring also creates equity issues — not every parent has equal tech literacy or trust in the app maker.
Bottom line on difficulty: A polished parental control app with web filtering, time limits, usage reports, and basic AI nudges is medium difficulty for a competent team (using Flutter/React Native + on-device ML + existing OS APIs). Making one that reliably stops access to broadly defined “banned content” for motivated under-16s across real-world internet use is extremely hard (9-10/10). It would require deep OS/platform/ISP cooperation, ongoing adversarial adaptation, and still couldn’t guarantee success. Studies of existing filters and parental controls consistently show they reduce easy access but don’t eliminate exposure for many adolescents.
The Smartphone Ban Idea
A blanket ban on smartphones for under-16s (as discussed in NZ debates) would be even harder to design/enforce effectively and carries bigger downsides. Practical issues include: defining “smartphone,” handling schoolwork/educational tools/emergencies/navigation, shared family devices, visitors, enforcement mechanisms, and black-market workarounds. It risks isolating kids socially or educationally while pushing activity to other devices or underground channels.
In the current NZ context, proposals for social media age restrictions (inspired by Australia) have come from the National side/government, with work on legislation paused or evolving as lessons are assessed. ACT has taken a clear opposing stance in inquiries and public statements, arguing such measures are easy to circumvent (citing Australia’s ~80%+ non-compliance reality), risk isolating vulnerable youth, and that effective enforcement would require intrusive steps (like broad age verification or VPN restrictions) that undermine privacy and freedoms for all New Zealanders — not just kids. ACT leader David Seymour has emphasized that any ban strong enough to stop motivated teens would control the internet for everyone, while weaker ones achieve little. This aligns closely with the technical and empirical evidence.
What Could Actually Help (More Realistic Path)
No single app or ban is a silver bullet. Evidence points to layered approaches working better than pure technical restrictions:
• Improved platform defaults and accountability (age-appropriate design, better moderation, reduced addictive algorithms for minors, easier parental tools).
• Stronger, user-friendly parental controls integrated at OS level (building on Apple Family Link / Google equivalents) with honest expectations.
• Digital literacy education in schools and homes — teaching critical thinking over just blocking.
• Addressing root drivers: mental health, boredom, peer pressure, and family dynamics.
• Targeted tools for highest-risk areas (e.g., better detection of grooming or non-consensual imagery).
A well-designed app could play a supporting role: on-device AI content analysis in a managed browser, strict app approval workflows, detailed but privacy-respecting reports for parents, and educational nudges. Market it accurately as a management and reduction tool, not a guarantee. Many commercial options already try this with mixed results — the gap is often in sustained parental engagement and realistic expectations.
Protecting children from genuine online harms is a serious priority. The intent behind these proposals is understandable. However, the technical reality and Australia’s early outcomes suggest that blanket access bans or single-app solutions face steep uphill battles due to how the internet actually works and how motivated users behave. Nuanced, evidence-based strategies that combine better tech tools with education, platform responsibility, and family involvement tend to be more effective than attempts at perfect technical control.
The only positive is that it might teach kids early that politicians are fuckwits and not to be trusted.
What would be far better is an app that stopped dumb people from getting into politics.
That might be easier than the smartphone one above
ACT leader David Seymour has emphasized that any ban strong enough to stop motivated teens would control the internet for everyone, while weaker ones achieve little.
This little paragraph is the reason he supports such a ban
They say history repeats, and this election will be no different. ACT will not ride the wave of anti-National voters looking for a new home.
The closer we get to the election, Seymour will reveal more of his true self to the voters.
I think so.
Deluded in his own mind.
Unfortunately, he negates much of the good stuff they are doing.
ppfft
Have to differ here, Hunty. He is getting deluded with his sense of importance.
Another shorty with an inflated opinion of himself. He has some good policies but also has catastrophic blind spots of some fundamental needs of the majority of voters.
Seymour for PM
I am beginning to think that Mikey is on the payroll. All I can say is that if Seeless is the answer then it’s a bloody silly question.

What’s a round tuit?

Muslim woman in a taxi:
“Excuse me, could you turn off the music?”
Taxi driver: “Why?”
-“Music is haram (forbidden).”
-“Why is it haram?”
-“Because in the time of the Prophet Muhammad, there was no music.”
The taxi driver turns off the music, drives a few meters, and stops the car:
-“Alright, now get out.”
-“Why? We haven’t arrived yet.”
-“Because in the time of the Prophet Muhammad, there were no taxis either. Wait for a camel to pick you up.”
Never mind now, many of those uber & taxis are driven by the “enforcers” of Mohammad.

“Islam cannot be either ‘moderate’ or ‘not moderate.’ — Islam can only be one thing,”:—— Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Allah in Qur’an 4:74 says, “So let those who purchase the world’s life for the hereafter engage in war for the sake of Allah.
And whoever engages in war for the sake of Allah, whether he is killed or victorious, so we will give him a great wage.”
Allah in Qur’an 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers [Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden [Heavenly Paradise].
They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they kill and are killed…”.
So in much of the Western world, we are told to respect the most devout, pious adherent to Mohammad, deemed to be a good muslim.
Just as our academia, universities also teach about the “kindness” of fluidity in genderism that one can become.
Must be running out of virgin goats by now.
The combination of those with short memories, envy of the haves, and no desire to work, will see willy wonker and the left back in power. Not a bad thing because nz will collapse economically and will need a reset when the pain gets too much.
I watch Japanese TV via a company based in Hong Kong.
One program discussed the growing shortage of bus drivers in the Tokyo region (let alone the provinces). Young Japanese don’t want to drive buses (and who can blame them).
The bus companies should increase fares and thus pay higher wages to their drivers. Of course, this would be inflationary, but wages in Japan have been suppressed for a long time.
The alternative is to take on Indian or other foreigners as drivers.

Similar things in Mandami’s New York, as the tax take severely dropped in its usual system City system.
The governmental people will not worry so much.
After all it would be easy to have a hefty exit departure tax on New Zealanders.
AI:–
Canada: Canada’s “departure tax” is one of the strictest in the world, treating many globally held assets—such as cryptocurrency, private corporation shares, and non-registered investments—as disposed of right before you leave. It can force individuals to pay massive bills on paper gains they haven’t realized yet. [1]
USA: that has tax enforces an expatriation tax ….. on world wide assets.
France, Spain, Germany, and Norway—have established or expanded exit tax regimes
One can be sure that the remaining socialist countries will be seriously weighing up how to do this too.
So far in the USA one can change states & cities, but the intent of the Democrat Party is to make much of their taxes universal into Federal system.
I see the Greens are pushing for automatic union membership when you start a job. You don’t get much more communist than that, Labour won’t be impressed by the watermelons trying to steal their plans. I suppose the expect the employer to pay for it as well, won’t ever happen here.
Nothing like a good union to make productivity worse.
Here we go again.

No bird flu worst-case modelling, no compensation: Minister says farmers would carry cost
As avian influenza moves closer to New Zealand, the Government says its focus is on prevention rather than worst-case planning — but farmers warn a major outbreak could be devastating. Nadine Roberts reports.
The Government has no worst-case modelling for the impact a major bird flu outbreak could have on New Zealand’s food supply or economy, while Associate Biosecurity Minister Andrew Hoggard says poultry producers whose flocks are wiped out by the virus should not expect compensation.
On Wednesday, officials confirmed the first case of the highly pathogenic H5N1 bird flu virus had been detected in New Zealand.
Hoggard told Stuff on Thursday the Government’s focus had been on preparing the industry to prevent an outbreak rather than modelling its potential economic consequences, despite commissioning extensive worst-case scenario modelling for foot-and-mouth disease in 2024.

A former teacher who threw bricks at police during the violent end to the Parliament protest occupation has been censured and ordered to disclose his disciplinary history to future employers.
The New Zealand Teachers Disciplinary Tribunal issued its decision against Billy-James Charles Natanahira following his convictions for assault with a weapon and rioting.
The convictions related to Natanahira’s actions on March 2, 2022, when police moved to clear the 23-day occupation around Parliament, leading to violent clashes between officers and protesters.
Natanahira was convicted in the Wellington District Court in June 2024 and sentenced to five months’ community detention.

Still on those Statins????
One of the secrets to living over 100 years is having high cholesterol…
A massive Swedish study that followed over 800,000 people for 35 years reveals that all centenarians had high total cholesterol…The higher the LDL, the longer the patient will live.
Conclusions from the Swedish AMORIS study:
• All centenarians: High total cholesterol, high iron, low glucose.
• The highest LDL cholesterol levels = longer lives (backed by Dr. Uffe Ravnskov and Dr. Malcolm Kendrick).
Dangers of low cholesterol:
• LDL <70 mg/dL → 3 times greater risk of hemorrhagic stroke.
• Total <180 mg/dL → Steep increase in cancer and dementia rates.
• < 150 mg/dL → Increase in chronic diseases like cancer and autoimmunity.
Cholesterol:
• Builds every cell and its powerhouse, the mitochondria.
• Absorbs vital vitamins A, D, E, K.
• Powers digestion through bile acids.
• Boosts immunity against infections, viruses, bacteria, pathogens, and even cancer.
• Fights depression, suicide, dementia, and cognitive decline.
• Protects against toxins, heavy metals, strokes, heart disease, and osteoporosis.
• Fuels ALL steroid hormones (low cholesterol levels = low testosterone and low libido).
• Reduces the risk of mortality from any cause…
Dr. Ben Bikman.
There is good and bad cholesterol LDL is considered bad while HDL is considered good.???
Eat low mercury fish. Salmon, Herring, White fish,Anchovies and Sardines.
Flaxseed rich in omega-3s. Buy milled or ground Flaxseed or grind in coffee grinder.
Nuts. Walnuts, almonds, pistachios.
Avocado, fresh fruit and vegetables.
Exercise, BMI of 25 or under,non smoking and limit alcohol.
Like everything excess HDL can also be detrimental.
But above all avoid Statins.
Possibly even a bigger con than covid vax. hate to think how many cases of early death and serious illness have been caused by statins.
Millions with dementia.
My great-aunt was 102.5. Lived in Sweden all her life. Came to NZ in about 1977 at age 86. Straight back. Feisty and read the paper in English without glasses. Never travelled this far before.
My uncle just recently passed at 94.
Fortunately, I have the same problem. Apparently, my cholesterol has been far too high forever. Said I didn’t care, shove ya statins where the sun don’t shine.
My dad was 9.6 and it kept him alive, although he died of lung complications from the influenza in 1917 when he was born. Still made it to late 70’s.

FFS Another Act fruit loop has been released from the mental asylum.
And it’s another foreign weirdo – with a twist – he’s a Matauranga Māori, Te Tirti critical theorist activist – who has posted that ‘populist Peters needs to be punished for not getting NZ involved in the Iran war disaster. He has also state in his creepy weirdo drongo videos that NZ First is left..
Dear god read on:
Panos Patros is Acts upper Harbour candidate. As chair of a leftist IT group (Te Tira Hangarau) the Waikato University academic actively promoted incorporating mātauranga Māori (Marxist pseudo māori bullshit) and kaupapa Māori into software engineering and accreditation.
He described folklore and fables as “valid, evolving ways of knowing that add value, help serve people better in Aotearoa”, and should be legitimized through evidence-based research. He supervised a student’s project on Māori software requirements elicitation using kaupapa principles, like ‘Whakawhanua-tanga” says Patros.
He supports te reo names for groups, Māori STEM initiatives (Pūhoro Academy), and viewing these as complementary to “accepted” (not strictly “Western”) science, and believes “every organisation in Aotearoa should have a māori name”
Patros also proudly spoke of his Associate Professor Te Taka Keegan, who he works with to make up neo reo “he has been prolific creating many new words/concepts for computer science and software engineering – as a lot of these concepts didn’t exist in Māori” …
So while this clown is dragging in foreign conflicts he’s also helped build the very ideology act pretends it opposes. Go look up their star candidate James Christmas – he co authored a boom with Chris Finlayson on how to install co-governance in NZ FFS.!

They almost make Chloe look sane.
Been pondering on this dead brown skua issue and something doesn’t add up. The skua migrates from the artic to NZ around early November and returns March or April. But here we have a victim of bird flu dead on the beach mid July at least 2 months after it should have departed these shores. Now if it really did die of bird flu it must have been infected here otherwise it would have died much earlier. Even if bird flu did arrive with the Skuas as they are suggesting it must now be established in the local bird population somewhere. Tell me if I am wrong.
Interesting
More to the point – why would any bird hang around Wellington if it didn’t have to?
I reckon it was a suicide.
It was all the Greenie’s untreated shit flowing into the harbour through the sewer pipes they didn’t maintain because they wanted cycle paths wot did it.
All bullshit.
Birds like that were often washed up at Petone after raging southerlies. They get beaten up at sea and can’t feed in the weather. The get busted by the wind.
Rumour has it that Dr. Ashley “Lockdown” Bloomfield — the radical left-wing control freak and loyal foot soldier to the Socialist Commander — has apparently been running his mouth to insiders about slamming New Zealand back into full lockdowns the second bird flu cases show up.
This is the same parasite who helped turn the country into a prison during COVID now wants round two.
These people just don’t learn. They just miss the power.
This isn’t politics anymore folks.
This is the beginning of the end if we don’t wake the hell up. New Zealand is on the brink… and the clock is ticking louder than ever.

To cut to the chase, the real $money spinner is to get the vaccination programs in place, where no one complains, and will not stop mandatory & compulsory,
21 Feb., 2025 …… ….a poultry medicine expert at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine who studies how influenza viruses jump from animals to humans, said he’s concerned that vaccinating poultry could facilitate silent spread, where transmission occurs in asymptomatic birds.
“Vaccines can sometimes be seen as kind of a double-edged sword,
” Perez said. “They can control the disease, but at the same time, they may not be able to control infections. So vaccinated animals may show no signs of the disease.” …..
