His family have launched a Give-a-Little page. Of course they have.
Don’t you hate it when I am right?
Funny. Even when I’ve been sick to the point of near delirium, I can still remember what’s mine and what isn’t.
Maybe it’s a young person thing.
It’s a ‘light fingered’ thing. Next time he won’t take other peoples stuff.
Is he a green voter? Bet he’s got a sore arse.
Bet he’s real glad that it wasn’t a baggie of drugs!
He says he took the Ferry from Ko Samui to Bangkok. Hmmm. That’s a 12-hour sail. Usually for freight only. Most people either fly from Samui or take the car ferry across to the mainland and then fly to Bangkok from Surat Airport. His story has more holes than a block of swiss cheese.
Morning. Wanna buy a watch?
..or pictures of your wife?
Yep
Not sure when my dealers getting out – I’ll let you know.
That’s “fence”
Morning Troopers,
The story below is sad. Can someone please tell me why it’s the leading article in the NZH? It has absolutely zero news value.
21-year-old Christchurch student Bella Beirne dies on the French Riviera – NZ Herald
She’s pretty. That’s why.
Usually when the msm publish a story about a sudden death it’s because there’s an identifiable cause that isn’t the vax.
Because reporting on our politicians’ perfidy and incompetence takes effort?
The more interesting question is
Why a heart attack at 21?
Tell me the answer to that.
Its not included in the article.
Absolutely. Another of Hikins”murder” victims. He chose to ignore medical advice, and then lied about it. He should be in jail
I will just open a reply space for S.B. – He will know someone who died from anything but the vaccine at the age of 18-25.
he has not disapointed…..
yup, quite a few before 2019 and a few after so whats your point?
cancer, clots, heart problems all existed before the vax ya know.
the problem with the vax nutters is they draw links without proof and ignore every other factor. sure a few will be but not every fucking one they bleat on about.
then theres the emotive bullshit like fuckhead south african spurts of murder and jail etc.
if you want to go that way then theres far worse things for our health then the vax and that kill more kiwis then the vax ever has or will so are they murderers and deserve jail? who do we lockup for cancer causing nitrates in the water…. lets jail every farmer ay?
preservatives in food, all the other carcenogin we get exposed to.
best of all lets jail ROLs god, that fucker has given more cancer, illness and misery then anything else on this world. if we cant find him to jail then lets jail all his enablers, after all theyre no better off than hipkins.
then what about cancer treatments? alot of the time the treatment kills the patient before the cancer does, thats murder too by ROLs definition.
We can’t jump to conclusions, it could be something simple and easily explained. Maybe she just opened her rates or power bill. I came close to a similar fate the other day.
Death from cost of living.
Too funny – they got Trumped
Trump stuns Saudis by pinning nuclear deal to its recognition of Israel – NZ Herald
they have time, theyll wait 2 years until trumps gone… or 6-12mnths until hes impeached if dems win the midterms.
trumps proven himself to be an epicly shit dealmaker and backtracking TACO so the saudis just wont bother
.
Doc, for all the good those suppositories did, I might as well have stuck them up my arse.
I’m off for a colonoscopy next week – can’t wait.
Just make sure you can’t see both his hands at the same time.
No sweat! I’ve had some of them!
thats the fastest way for the body to absord stuff, youll be up with some facts in no time old chap… your poor lil old brain is going the way of vikeys and struggling nowdays
Not true! Mine is wearing out. His has atrophied. 🙂
Tarquin, might have experience in administering sea sickness pills, that way!
Send me my favourite cabin boy and be quick about it!
Roger?
What’s he saying about me? None of it’s true.
Twas on the Good Ship Venus 🎶
“The cabin boy was Kipper
By Christ he was a nipper
He stuffed his ass with broken glass
And circumcised the skipper”
Yeah, that will cause their hardy to go limp.
Put 100 women and 10 men on a deserted island. In 100 years, you will have a thriving community of men, women, boys, and girls.
Now, put 100 trans women and 10 men on a deserted island. In 100 years you will find the skeletons of 110men.
Follow me for more science.
Disgusting.
youll find 100, if the 10 had any smarts about them they would build a raft and flee to that island with 100 real women.
King Charlie opened the Commonwealth Games!
Who knew that they still had them?
Are they bigger or better then the Prince Harry Games?
I just finished Ed’s book. I bought the printed book after he advertised it a few weeks ago. I really liked i it was worth th money. He had left the opening for another book or two to follow on from that one.
I can relate to a lot of the book from past work experiences in oil and gas.

Labour Demands Paul Henry Resign After Historic 105 km/h “Speeding Scandal”
Wellington — Labour’s transport spokesperson Tangi Utikere has called on ACT Party candidate Paul Henry to immediately resign from politics after explosive allegations emerged that he once travelled at 105 km/h in a 100 km/h zone on a New Zealand motorway.
The incident, reportedly occurring “at some point in the past”, has sent shockwaves through the political establishment.
Speaking to reporters outside Parliament, the spokesperson said the matter raised “serious questions about judgment, accountability, and respect for speed limit signage.”
“Aotearoa Whanau expect those seeking public office to obey every road sign with absolute precision. If Mr Henry was prepared to travel at 105, what’s next? 106? Where does it end?”
Labour MPs described the alleged five-kilometre-per-hour excess as “deeply troubling” and called for an urgent cross-party inquiry into whether any momentum was gained while travelling downhill.
Green Party MPs reportedly expressed concern over the environmental impact of arriving at a destination approximately seven seconds earlier than expected. Chloe Swarbrick demand a fast response saying “Aotearoa is already far below the expectations of the Net Zero targets, this blatant abuse of carbon is detrimental to trade”.
The ACT Party dismissed the criticism as “politics reaching terminal velocity.”
David Seymour was asked whether the party still had confidence in Henry.
“Look, if every New Zealander who accidentally drifted to 105 had to resign, Parliament would need to be replaced by hitchhikers.”
Political commentators noted the controversy comes just days after Parliament spent several hours debating crime, the economy, housing, healthcare and infrastructure, before abruptly shifting national attention to what one analyst described as “the most aggressively average speeding allegation in modern history.”
Waka Kotahi declined to comment on any specific individual but reminded motorists that speed limits are legal limits, while also quietly acknowledging that speedometers, tyre size and road gradients can introduce small variations.
How do road gradients affect speedomoters?
At close to 90 degrees the higher the speed
“The prime ministerial motorcade left Waimate at 2.46pm to catch the flight scheduled to depart from Christchurch at 4.50pm. The 205km trip from Waimate to Christchurch, which included a brief stop at Timaru for the hon Jim Sutton to pick up an item of property, took 96 minutes which meant an average speed during the journey of approximately 128kph.”
That would be Helen Clark.
Beats using her turbo charged broomstick.
With knobs on!!!
Unfortunately there are some on X that don’t recognise this as satire – shows how we are starting to accept any old piffle that the Left throw at the media.
Is it satire? How would you know? I didn’t. That’s just on par with how pathetic they are.
I saw a video of Marama Davidson – Greens leader – travelling at 120km. It was said this was on Transmission Gully. So where are the voices saying she needs to resign?
Transmission gully is 110? So 120 is a reasonable speed for that part of the road. Still think she should resign though.
How does this compare to a Labour cabinet Minster driving drunk plus hit & run
At the time Tangi lept to her defence claiming it was her customary right to drive drunk & hit a parked Colonial car while the Greens claimed her weaving motion was to save tyre wear & thus the planet
Kinda like the mari tart that ran into me half an hour ago. stopped, then drove off. She was going to call the police, and I invited her to do so as they were my friends. With that, she promptly drove off. Ran into me from behind while attempting to pass me while stopped in the middle of the road because the vehicle in front of me had stopped.
so are you admitting the pigs are corrupt and do favours/help out mates?
You could have just said “Don’t you know who I am?”
I certainly told her that it was her responsibility to stop in half the clear distance ahead and that she was not paying attention.
Little damage, and I need to check, as it was at a corner and I think there is a yellow line she must have crossed into the other lane. I’d bet my socks she ran away because she was texting.
US Climate Activist Urges Aotearoa to Fund Global Climate Justice Through Wealth Tax
PORTLAND, OREGON — American climate campaigner Anna Brown has intensified her criticism of Aotearoa New Zealand, arguing the country should introduce a wealth tax to fund the purchase of international carbon credits from China and India after concerns the country remains under pressure to meet future emissions targets.
Speaking at a “Global Climate Accountability Circle,” Brown said New Zealand had a “moral responsibility” to do more than reduce its own emissions.
“Climate leadership isn’t about what you emit—it’s about what you’re willing to sacrifice,” she told supporters.
New Zealand contributes approximately 0.15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, compared with roughly 31% from China and around 8% from India.
Despite those figures, Brown argued New Zealand should “lead by example.”
“If China and India are going to keep emitting, then wealthy countries should be paying them to emit less. That’s what global solidarity looks like.”
Her proposal calls on the New Zealand Government to introduce a wealth tax to establish a “Climate Justice Partnership Fund,” which would purchase additional carbon credits from China and India while financing educational exchanges to “share New Zealand’s sustainability values.”
Brown said critics were “thinking too locally.”
“Some people ask why five million New Zealanders should shoulder more responsibility than countries with billions of people. That’s exactly the kind of carbon-centric thinking that’s holding humanity back.”
The activist also suggested New Zealand appoint a Special Envoy for Climate Feelings to work alongside international partners and ensure emissions discussions remain “inclusive, affirming, and emotionally sustainable.”
Climate analysts noted that New Zealand’s emissions have generally declined in recent years, although further reductions are expected to meet future emissions budgets. Brown said that was “a nice start,” but insisted it was time for “bolder acts of planetary compassion.”
As the conference concluded, delegates gave a standing ovation before unanimously approving a resolution encouraging the New Zealand Government to “tax abundance, export empathy, and import carbon reductions.”
Government officials in Wellington have not commented, although one attendee was overheard saying the proposal “looked much more achievable on a whiteboard than in a Treasury forecast.”
Excellent spoof. It’s getting harder to do satire nowadays, as real life has become so ridiculous.
Do me afavour, Anna Brown Fuck Right Off. And fucking read this, you ebcilic moron.

Andrew Bolt tears into the ABC’s obscene fantasy of violence against Gina Rinehart
The Commos & cranks at https://nomoreglyphosate.nz/nz-glyphosate-residue-limit-hollow-victory/ are very upset at MPI’s latest efforts to ignore their crap. It seems that their goal of destroying NZ agriculture & thereby its economy isn’t receiving the attention they demand.
#. “MPI kept glyphosate limits at 0.1 mg/kg after 30,000 people signed a petition, but that limit only covers grain grown here for human food. NZ imports more wheat than it grows, mostly from Australia. Under the Trans-Tasman arrangement that grain enters under Australia’s looser standards: 50 times higher for wheat, 200 times for barley. Testing found gluten-free Weet-Bix at 3.9 mg/kg – 39 times our limit was perfectly legal.”
They consider this to be a “regulatory sleight of hand”. Personally I’d be more impressed if they exposed the importation of food grown on China’s land long poisoned by heavy metals & unregulated sprays. Ditto for our paddocks being fucked by cadmium from Moroccan phosphate but there we have it.
The downvote was from me. I support No More Glyphosate and I don’t want it in my food. I donate to them now and then.
we’ve used a tad over 22k litres of the stuff since ive been here in aussie, still another round of 6500ha@,1.5L to go. most of the stuff used has been on the canola, the rest was pre seeding knockdown.
its one of the least dangerous chemicals used.
id be more worried about pesticide and fungicide use in food crops, plus some selective herbicides used in dairy pastures and cereals.
picloram for example can be applied…. left over a month… mown… ensiled… fed to cattle… digested… shit out… composted then used on gardens and can still kill anything planted in it. dunno if its still allowed to be used like that anymore, one of my first boss found that out the hard way in mid 2000s, wiped out his mum and grandads prize vege gardens. had to dig the whole lot out and fully replace the soil.
was killer compost being sold from landscape place a year or so ago, not sure what was in that but it be something similar.
Using any spray designed to knock woody plants gives me the shits. Townie idiots target glyphosate because they’ve seen it used & think they know everything about it. If they really wanted something to panic about they’d concentrate on the sprays used by councils & their contractors to control roadside weeds. Most of those are made up concoctions sufficient to wipe out life as we know it but the moronic applicators gleefully send gallons of the residue down the drains & into the river systems without care or oversight.
The push against Roundup has far less to do with the dangers the chemical presents & much to do with the disruption to normal agricultural practises that its withdrawal would cause. Socialists hate farmers.
Townies know nothing of pasture renewal & couldn’t grow beans in a bucket. They have a kids’ story book fixation with agriculture & probably think farmers should hoe their weeds & sing lullabies to their livestock!
New Trump tariffs on NZ ‘extremely disappointing’, PM saysPrime Minister Christopher Luxon says the US decision to impose new 12.5% tariffs on New Zealand products is “extremely disappointing” and will drive up costs for businesses.
US President Donald Trump earlier announced he was going ahead with new double-digit tariffs on dozens of US trading partners just as the clock runs out on stopgap levies he imposed after a stinging defeat at the US Supreme Court.
The new taxes – of 10% to 12.5% on imports from 60 countries – account for 99% of US imports. The Trump administration accuses the 60 countries of inadequately enforcing bans on goods produced by forced labour, following an investigation by the US government.
New Zealand is on the list, and faces a rate of 12.5% for the new tariffs – although it appears beef and kiwifruit, two of our big exports, are excluded. Dairy and wine – another of our two big exports – do not appear to be excluded, however.
“It’s just not credible that imports created with forced labour play any measurable role in New Zealand’s economy,” McClay said in a statement. “The [US] investigation just provides a legal pretext for broad tariffs rather than effectively combating forced labour.”
Luxon said “tariffs are not the way,” and would only heap costs and uncertainty on businesses. “That’s why we’re pursuing trade agreements all over the world – to provide our exporters with security and keep growing our economy,” he added.
New tariffs come into play as previous ones expire
The new tariffs will take effect just as temporary 10% worldwide tariffs expire at 12.01am Friday (US time). Trump had turned to those temporary levies after the US Supreme Court struck down his biggest and boldest tariffs in February.
The president was tapping more durable tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which permits the president to impose import taxes and other sanctions against countries found to engage in “unjustifiable,” “unreasonable” or “discriminatory” trade practices.
Trump used Section 301 to impose big tariffs on China in his first term, and they survived court challenges.
The US government published the full list of countries the new tariffs would apply to: Algeria; Angola; Argentina; Australia; the Bahamas; Bahrain; Bangladesh; Brazil; Cambodia; Chile; China, People’s Republic of; Colombia; Costa Rica; Dominican Republic; Egypt; El Salvador; Guatemala; Guyana; Honduras; Hong Kong, China; India; Iraq; Israel; Japan; Jordan; Kazakhstan; Kuwait; Libya; Malaysia; Morocco; New Zealand; Nicaragua; Nigeria; Norway; Oman; Peru; the Philippines; Qatar; Russia; Saudi Arabia; Singapore; South Africa; South Korea; Sri Lanka; Switzerland; Taiwan; Thailand; Trinidad and Tobago; Türkiye; United Arab Emirates; United Kingdom; Uruguay; Venezuela; and Vietnam.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/361010368/trump-imposes-doubledigit-tariffs-dozens-countries
So let’s chop 5 eyes and sending money to Ukrainians and buy Boeing planes, Robinson Helicopters, Cat tractors and Motors mercury boat gear and so on. Vote with ya wallets, guys. Their cars are crap anyway.
Maybe the badmouthing of Trump and his tariffs should be kept in-house in NZ. Trump is much more forgiving to those countries leaders who treat the presidential position with the respect his position deserves.
Sad to hear Luxon is ” extremely disappointed “. Now he knows how half the country feel about him.
Maybe if he spent time sucking up to Trump instead of that Modi creep, it might be better for us.
luxon could get advice and borrow kneepads from the very experience trump dick suckers here on ysb 🙂
Exactly! Just been saying that to Mrs W.

Great news.
V2 met with his MP Sam Uffindell yesterday to sort out dementia care in Tauranga.
Sam said afterwards that, “I wouldn’t mind but that’s the fifth time he’s asked me this week”.
Keep trying. Haven’t talked to Sam in a while but have been giving that other toady a hard time. The show pony Peter Dunne’s trainee Tom. Like the girl from Hawke’s Bay, he turns up for any photo op but couldn’t for a family whose young boy was run over outside his house. Speeding car, no police action, spent months and months with broken this and that. He turned up the next day with the press and made a lot of noise about fixing the road, not even his responsibility, and to this date has never contacted the family. He was asked 3 times by me to help them and never even got his lady to ring them. They were not a wealthy family, lived in a rental and are really nice people. He’s a lazy cunt, and yet he went defending that woman that we paid to have 10 months away from her workplace at full pay. Entitled brats, the lot of them. Catholic Pricks. Called him out on FB.
For those who think the Herald and Stuff are dying.
Digital news numbers
Latest monthly Nielsen numbers show Stuff and the NZ Herald increased their website audiences in June – Stuff remains on top with a monthly unique audience of 2.142 million (up 4% on May), while the Herald sits on 1.939 million (up 3.5%).
RNZ eased back slightly in June, down 1.8%, to 1.647 million, while TVNZ’s 1News website dropped 13.2% to 667,000.
The Post website fell more dramatically, down 33.9% to 364,000, meaning it’s now behind the Otago Daily Times (367,000, down 10.2%).
That number gives The Post’s new editor-in-chief Matthew Hooton an early headache and challenge. The Press slipped 12.5% to an audience of 350,000, and The Spinoff was down 34.2% to 243,000.
Meanwhile, the Herald app’s numbers remain ahead of Stuff – 16.3 million app launches in June for the Herald compared with 15.7 million for Stuff.
The bulk of those numbers – people reading for free. The legacy media is still dying.
I account for a few of those viewing, I reasonably regularly view Stuffs website from a private window changing it whenever they start asking for money or restricting access. Bastards will never receive a single cent from me
haha, same here.

Congratulations, National—Another Champion of Race-Based Politics
National has selected Rangitīkei councillor Coral Raukawa to contest the Te Tai Hauāuru Māori electorate. But before anyone mistakes this for a candidate committed to equal citizenship, her record deserves closer examination.
Raukawa is not merely a passive beneficiary of Māori wards. She has been one of their outspoken defenders:
So congratulations, National. After campaigning as the party that would pull New Zealand away from race-based government, it has selected an enthusiastic defender of separate political representation based on ancestry.
Calling the policy race-based is not an attack on Raukawa’s ethnicity. It is criticism of her political record and her belief that ancestry should help determine how representation is structured. National must explain how that squares with its supposed commitment to equal democratic rights.
Will the media ask her difficult questions? Will Christopher Luxon declare her views incompatible with National’s principles? Or will everyone suddenly become cautious because criticism of a female Māori candidate risks attracting the usual accusations?
Male politicians are routinely mocked, personally attacked and treated as open season. Yet criticism involving women is often repackaged as misogyny before the substance is even considered. That double standard cannot be allowed to silence legitimate scrutiny.
Coral Raukawa chose public office, promoted race-based representation and is now seeking a seat in Parliament. Her sex and ancestry should neither disqualify her nor shield her. She must be judged by exactly the same political standard as everyone else.
The larger question is for National: Does the party genuinely oppose race-based government, or does it abandon that principle whenever electoral convenience demands it?
Sources: Rangitīkei District Council’s 2024 decision and Raukawa’s statement, official council minutes, official 2025 referendum result.
so im guessing the nats will veto any attempts to rid us off the maori seats…. vote any party with chris as leader to get more co gov and pro maori bullshit
