If Henry is going to come out with such strong rhetoric against Winston and NZF, he should back it up. But if you’re all mouth and no trousers like Henry, that ain’t gonna happen.

I live a quiet and sheltered life and had barely even heard of this Paul Henry bloke until now. This sentence dismays me though, what has Henry said on the matter?
“He’s already moving Acts policy stances around re gun licensing reforms.”

It was something about semi automatic guns, I think Alice.

But I think Paul Henry entering the fray is really on behalf National to try muddy the waters on NZF rising in the polls. Even Key has come out saying Henry is a good choice. National are clearly rattled and so they should be. But they will not confront the real issue –LUXON ( and Willis and Bishop to some extent.)

Yep, he will last about 3 months Max.
But that’s not the point, really.
He will garner party votes for Act in the meantime.
Or if the other side gives him a hard time, he will toss his toys before the election.

But Seymour wants Party votes, and what better way to get them than Paul Henry.
Media capable, media darling, out spoken and all that.
One gets that he doesn’t like anything Paul Henry has to work at.

Oh and you got his stint as a director of TVNZ, which he has resigned from. Too boring for a fella with permanent ADHD. reorts to read an so on.

V2, do you not mean James Christmas, the ACT Party’s Trojan Horse and bum buddy of Christopher Finlayson, also National’s and John Key’s Trojan Horse.

If you were a Tamaki Electorate Voter, why would you Vote for this non entity, a man who has achieved nothing. Just look at these weasel words in the link below. Nowhere does the practicing Faggot, Jim Christmas say anything about growing the economy, creating wealth, but there are claims he will do things, there is no plan in his spiel, just weasel words, which is on par for a Lawyer.

Along with Paul Henry, James Christmas is just another reason I would not waste my Vote for ACT.

No need to Google it. Happened in a house right next door to one of my rentals.
The Kuka girls is from the local area where I lived in Tauranga way back. Meth
fucked all of those in that house. Was bloody rife at that time, and it was also the time of Shipton’s bad deeds.
IIRC rightly, she was at work when they put the kid in a dryer.

Nice little 3-bed Beazley home. Looking good last time I was there. Built around the mid-70s. lot of them there. Mostly on cross leases.
Here’s where you make money. cost 74k in 2006, priced around the 450-500 these days. Will increase as time goes by. Basic, warm and with a decent section for the kids and dog.
Rents for 550-600 and, of course, needed things to come to HH standard. Mostly long-term tenants all the way through.
The biggest problem was the other house on the cross lease.

Better for families than the crap they have built along the road. 2-storey chook houses with no grounds or car parks. The builder went bust halfway through. Coloured Corp has bought it and is filling them with their kind.

all good.

Sir Garfield Sobers, arguably the greatest cricket all-rounder of all time, has died at the age of 89, West Indies Cricket announced.
A statement on X said: “A great innings has come to an end. In our hearts, now and forever, Sir Garfield Sobers.”
Sobers played 93 tests between 1954 and 1974, scored 8032 runs at an average of 57.78 and took 235 wickets at 34.03 runs each.

Trump has infested democrats with diarreaha

Salad, onions and the Taco Bell fast food chain have all been blamed for one of the largest outbreaks of diarrhoea in the United States.
But attention has now turned to President Donald Trump and his Administration’s policies, which scaled back the tracking of food-borne illnesses.
Cyclosporiasis, a parasitic illness contracted from ingesting contaminated food or drink, has spread across 32 states and infected nearly 7000 people, with cases expected to increase.
Public health experts and Democrats have claimed that efforts to control the outbreak have been hampered by sweeping cuts and mass firings carried out by Robert F. Kennedy jnr, Trump’s health secretary, under the banner of “government efficiency”.
It is common for there to be several cases during the summer months, “but nothing like this magnitude”, said Dr Omer Awan, a doctor and senior public health contributor for Forbes.

Apparently, it’s Trump’s fault they all got it.

Former Labour minister Rino Tirikatene joins NZ First
Rino Tirikatene, a former Labour minister, is now a New Zealand First member.
It comes as former Labour minister Dover Samuels is attending NZ First’s convention for the first time.
NZ First leader Winston Peters is set to open the party’s annual convention in South Auckland this morning, expected to be attended by more than 350 party delegates in what is a record attendance for the party.
Tirikatane, whose whānau is synonymous with South Island politics, is listed as a NZ First delegate for the lower North Island.
It’s understood it’s unlikely he will be standing in an electorate for NZ First in the upcoming election.

Tirikatene’s grandfather, Sir Eruera Tirikatene, held one of the four original Māori electorates – Southern Māori – from 1932 until his death in 1967 when he was succeeded by his daughter, Whetu Tirikatene-Sullivan, who held the seat until 1996, when its name changed to Te Tai Tonga.
Tirikatene first entered Parliament after the 2011 election, winning Te Tai Tonga, which covers the entire South Island, parts of Wellington and the Chatham Islands.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/former-labour-minister-rino-tirikatene-joins-nz-first/Y7PIEBVNH5DSZF66WK6GTNODMI/

When Chris Hipkins took over from Ardern after she retired in 2023, Tirikatene was made a minister outside of Cabinet in a reshuffle, becoming the Minister for Courts and the Minister of State for Trade and Export Growth.
Tirikatene announced his retirement in January, 2024.

Samuels, another former Labour minister, is understood to be attending NZ First’s convention for the first time as a party delegate.

The state owns your kids, so are very “kindly” in what they are to be educated in.

June 16 2026 – Brazil …… sentenced to 50 days in prison for homeschooling their daughters.
The parents were convicted of “intellectual neglect”, with the judge stating that the home education curricula failed to include programs on “gender and sex education” and “tolerance and diversity.”  ….

…… judge explicitly accused the parents of
“using their daughters as pawns in an ideological struggle, subjecting them to a form of unregulated education, the effectiveness and quality of which lack adequate metrics within the Brazilian legal system, while completely excluding the State’s involvement.” ….

….. “The prosecutor examined the witnesses and recommended for acquittal. ….
https://adfinternational.org/news/brazilianjudge-sentences-parents-to-prison-for-homeschooling-their-daughters/

I sort of know of problems in Brazil, & the legal fight by the previous President Jair Messias Bolsonaro.
It shows how ingrained the ideologies are within the “Deep State”.

….. The same dynamic is visible in Canada and parts of Europe, where the state increasingly uses its power to punish deviation from the new cultural orthodoxy on gender, race, and identity.
Traditional families and classical education are treated as threats. …,.
https://rairfoundation.com/brazil-jails-parents-homeschooling-without-gender-theory-first/

Is it over reach by the Courts, interpreting the laws of the land?
Slowly & insidously we are made to comply, as the various ideologies gain further funding & compliance.
Like many people in the western world, can only eat halal meat, just a small step in being sharia compliant.

We ignore this, & other sly agendas at our peril, as the mission creep of “tikanga” is now in the NZ Parliamentary & Justice systems.

As a kid growing upon the East Coast, every summer we watched huge mobs of sheep driven from our area usually to the Bay of Plenty for fattening before heading to the works. The Waioeka Gorge had not long opened so the drovers with their charges joined the MoW earthmoving equipment to create moving roadblocks along the dusty half formed road.

So many countries, like Pakistan, India, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq & others all draining off their fresh water systems.

But it is all being set up now so that other countries will accept the poison of the UN Global Migration Pact to accept millions of refugees, at this stage with guilt of creating Climate Change, and accepting them as a part of reparations as more guilt also of colonization & enslavement.

All to be a part of “white man’s burden” with this form of a “new normal” in socialistic, collective hive.

S1, during my lengthy Ship Chartering days, I did a comprehensive study at the end of the 1980’s to load fresh water from the Manapouri Tail Race Tunnel at Deep Cove in Doubtful Sound for a substantial New York based Shipowner who was going to build 8 stainless steel lined bulk liquid tankers to shuttle this fresh water to the Middle East where they had buyers lined up.

It was a very simple exercise, the depth of Water within a few feet of the Sound walls was about 120 meters, if my memory is correct and there was about 12 feet of fresh water on top of the salt water close in. So no substantial mooring facility needed to be built as the vessels would have come into the Sound, loaded and have exited within 24 hours and traversed during daylight hours only.

It was all set to go, but the then Minister of Conservation, Helen Clark, in the end, put the Kibosh on the plan as she was shit scared of a maritime accident either in the Sound itself or in NZ Territorial Waters and subsequent oil pollution in the Sound. All very unlikely. The Royalties the Shipowner was prepared to pay the NZ Government, for this pure water was quite substantial, but again, in H. Clarks mind this was irrelevant as protecting and covering arse was more important to her.

Thanks TAH.
I can vaguely recall some of that & it being kai-bushed.

I have also been at sea, & when one of my examiners wanted to know how much fuel & water to take on a trip, it was not in the curriculm, & our tutors were emphatic about that.
Any wat I just dumped tonnes of fresh water & fuel on the examiner.
As some of our trips were of unknown time, until we filled up with fish, but we had fish wells that more than supplemented what we needed or required.

To the question he put about the filling up with fish, I simply said we pumped the fw out, and what about the fuel, that would also be dumped, as I assured him that we had sailed through it.
The pic of his face was priceless, as I also told him that it would not be my decision to make as the boat owners, the skipper & the chief engineer will be figuring all of that out.

My interest in that possiblity was when in the states in the 1970’s seeing the bottled water in the USA.
It was to my surprize that no way could one drink tap water in some cities.

All threats to NZ’s conservation estates could be covered by requirements for massive insurance or bank guarantees covering damages & reinstatement in case of accidents or pollution.

It was Hobbes’ view that the rule of law & the ever present threat of punishment was all that kept the individual members of society from preying on their neighbours. He theorised that a powerful sovereign or government was all that could prevent individuals from adopting ‘kill or be killed’ tactics when resources were scarce. To make that happen men had to cede freedoms to gain safety.

We are living in a society where we have few freedoms & they are diminishing daily. They are being taken in order to provide us with an illusionary mantle of perfect safety.

Hobbes failed to see how the erosion of our individual rights to defend our own lives & freedoms would make us sheep beholden to power seeking wolves.

I’m uncertain as to why the legislation exists but exist it does. From https://www.bankomb.org.nz/guides-and-cases/quick-guides/other/overdue-council-rates

  • . “The Local Government (Rating) Act 2002, obliges property owners to pay their rates. It also enables the council to recover unpaid rates from the bank as mortgagee if the property owner is in default.
  • The Property Law Act 2007, also obliges the borrower in a mortgage to pay rates for the property.

“A council can notify a bank, as mortgagee, that a property owner has not paid his or her rates, and demand that the bank pay them instead. The bank must pay the arrears. Typically, it will recover the money from the customer by debiting the amount to his or her account. It is standard practice for the terms and conditions of property loans to include a reference to a bank’s right to recover money owed by customers. “

Ok so that is against a bank, who gets one to sign up to a lot of gobbbley goo, more as a practice to prevent some one going after the bank.

For example if a breach of some enviromental consideration then the bank may put it right at the land owners cost, that is stacked onto a mortgage.

Now it will become a bit more interesting if the land owners had no mortgage, so no bank can be leveraged around on any issue.

Ok the devious Lands & Deeds office may with the aid of some Judge, maybe via “Tweety”? or “tikanga” put something like some prior claim, caveat on the title.

I have noticed with concern & challenged the Lands & Deeds office for slapping on some feelings onto property with no notification.
The problem is that one is not aware of that until one comes to sell, so the new buyer with that search of title can figure, a leverage against the seller.
The buyer in continuing the purchase has accepted the change placed by the Crown.
Usually the seller has already made up his mind to sell, so does not want a legal stoush, and quietly accepts he has been done over & moves on to make the most of the rest of his life.

Now the law gets interesting.
Bear in mind possession is 9 tenths of law.
So where will inheritance by the next generation be placed?
How can they be evicted?

I read about that in today’s edition of Pravda (once known as the Wairarapa Times-Age). The judge’s decision so moved the editor that he wrote an article about it describing Sovereign citizens thus:

“….those wacky-baccy-smoking, dishevelled, rural-property-living. Telegram posting, non-conforming, conformists…”

Which seemed a somewhat harsh way to describe a harmless couple held hostage by a pack of spendthrift, green, ex Wellington nimbys who infest Wairarapa local government. Like scum floats to the top of a settling pond these wastrels band together to get each other elected so they can waste ratepayer monies on frivolous vanity projects until the reality of vital road maintenance or wastewater treatment leaves them with the only option of raising rates.
