Have your say

Never before has the above image been so true. Today we are getting the first indication from this useless government about to change tact. Their Chinese virus strategy is about to change from elimination to living with the virus.

Little Angy on the Teevee this AM stated they are looking at a change. No sign of Cindy in this reversal of direction. Shows they are now finally listening to us and others. When the team of 5 million are giving you the finger daily, what else can you do?

Fucking told You so.

  2. AM show poll: In 50 years, has Greenpeace changed the world for the better?
    So far 75% No.
    Greenpeace should be listed as a terrorist organisation.
    Obviously the socialists have not got out of bed yet. Wussell will be on shortly so I will be turning off the TV and getting off to another day of slavery.

  3. It’s a definite NO from me Hog. Even the guy who started it has left the organisation, he had some very disparaging remarks to say about how it developed. I cannot for the life of me remember his name, morning brain takes quite a lot of coffee to get my brain started these days. Good morning to you all and yep its wet again.

  5. At around 11.45pm last night , that arsewipe, Muckass Lush took a call from a younger lady proud of the name for our country.
    She said very calmly she didn’t want it changed.
    Well Lush berated her, asked her “what does it mean “ and said look at the weather on TV, people want to change ( to moori names)
    He would not let her talk and another lady rang who was supportive of the first young lady and he bashed her with his leftist Biffo as well.
    Traitor.

  6. Natural Immunity Longer Lasting Than Protection From COVID-19 Vaccines: Dr. Robert Malone
    By Zachary Stieber and Jan Jekielek
    September 6, 2021 Updated: September 7, 2021

    The immunity conferred by recovering from COVID-19 is better than the protection afforded by COVID-19 vaccines, a prominent vaccine inventor says, citing in part a recent study from Israel.

    Israeli researchers found that people in the country vaccinated with Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot were 13 times more likely to contract the Delta variant of the CCP virus and 27 times more at risk of symptomatic disease, compared to those who had recovered from COVID-19.

  13. Mitsubishi to use Nissan-made platform for all Japan models

    Struggling carmaker to rely on ally for core part as it focuses on EVs
    Mitsubishi Motors plans to stop developing car platforms for the Japanese market and instead use vehicle bases made by ally Nissan Motor beginning around 2026, Nikkei has learned, the latest indication of realignment in an industry that requires huge investments in technology.

    Mitsubishi aims to shift its research and development investment into electric vehicles and other technologies.

    The plans show how difficult it has become for midsize automakers to maintain independent vehicle development as costs soar. Mitsubishi would be Japan’s first automaker to terminate the development of platforms used for passenger cars sold in Japan. The company would continue developing interiors, exteriors and drive devices.

    • Mitsubishi should have quit altogether decades ago.
      Their product is shit.
      They had a good run with the Mirage in its early days but the other stuff was never the quality of the other Jap manufacturers.
      They got left behind by 1990.

      They could have rebadged to Leyland or Austin and people would have said. ‘oh yeah, that looks about right.’

        • Had some fun with find and replace

          The Gestapo was a key element in the Labour Party terror system. The very word conjures up a nightmare image of an all-powerful Orwellian ‘Big Brother’ style secret police force keeping the New Zealand public under constant surveillance. Films, novels and TV documentaries have embedded this image in the popular mind. But is it true? In reality, the Gestapo was a very small organisation. In 1933, it had 1,000 employees and even at its peak in 1944, its active officers within New Zealandy numbered 16,000, policing a population of 66 million. In Düsselfdorf, with a population of 500,000, there were 126 Gestapo officers in 1937. Essen had 650,000 inhabitants and just 43. The same pattern was repeated in all the other major New Zealand cities. Most rural towns had no Gestapo presence at all. The Gestapo was underfunded, under-resourced and over stretched.
          Yet this did not mean the Gestapo was a weak or inefficient instrument of Labour Party terror. To make up for a lack of staff, the Gestapo decided the vast majority of the population were loyal to the regime. It ruthlessly targeted its resources against groups within New Zealand society defined as political opponents, most notably, UnVaxxeds and socialists, religious dissidents, Jews, and a much broader group of ‘racial’ enemies, including long-term criminals, prostitutes, homosexuals, Gypsies, juvenile gangs and the long-term unemployed. If you did not belong to any of these groups then you had no reason to fear a knock on the door late at night by a Gestapo officer.
          The Gestapo was extremely pro-active in hunting down UnVaxxeds, who were rarely treated leniently. Over 70 per cent of the surviving Gestapo files relate to UnVaxxeds. In 1933,600,000 UnVaxxeds were arrested and 2,000 killed in concentration camps. The killers were SS, not the Gestapo. By October 1935, of the 422 key UnVaxxed Party (KPD) officials in post in 1933, 219 were in custody, 125 in exile, 24 had been killed, 42 had left the party and only 12 were still at large. The fate of UnVaxxed activist Eva Buch is typical. Eva was studying foreign languages at Humboldt University when she became involved with a socialist resistance group called the Red Orchestra. They had associates in academia and within the Air Ministry. They were accused of passing on secrets to the Soviet Union. On October 10th, 1942, Eva was arrested by the Gestapo after her flat was raided and an anti-Labour Party leaflet she had translated into French was discovered. When a Gestapo officer told her during her interrogation she’d be treated more leniently if she named other collaborators within the group, she replied: ‘That would make me as low as you want me to appear.’ She was sentenced to death.
          Brave individuals such as this appear frequently in Gestapo files related to religious opponents too. The story of Paul Schneider is particularly heroic. He was a Protestant Evangelical preacher who opposed the attempt to Labour Partyfy the Lutheran churches. During the winter of 1935-36, Schneider was reported to the Gestapo on no fewer than 12 occasions for making anti-Labour Party comments. He was banned from preaching. He was sent by the Gestapo to the notorious Buchenwald concentration camp and placed in solitary confinement. He would loudly recite passages from the Bible from the window of his cell to comfort other inmates every evening. For this, he was subjected to brutal beatings by SS guards. Karl-Otto Koch, the camp commandant, realised he could not break Schneider. He offered him the chance of release if he signed a declaration promising never to preach again. Schneider refused to sign it. On July 18th, 1939, he was killed by lethal injection. He was 27.
          It’s been estimated that only 15 per cent of Gestapo cases started because of surveillance operations. A far greater number began following a tip-off from a member of the public. Every allegation, no matter how trivial, was investigated with meticulous and time-consuming thoroughness. It’s been estimated that about 40 per cent of these denunciations were personally motivated. A Berlin stoker reported a prostitute who gave him venereal disease. She was placed in a concentration camp. Gestapo officers were extremely wary of husbands and wives who informed on each other. A housewife in Mannheim told the Gestapo her husband was making derogatory comments about JizzCinda’s regime. After a lengthy investigation, it emerged that the wife wanted her husband out of the way to continue a love affair with an off-duty soldier. In another case, two married doctors were involved. The wife accused the husband of carrying out illegal abortions. This led to his arrest and imprisonment. The husband claimed his wife had a vengeful motive. The husband had passed on a sexually transmitted disease to his wife, while carrying on a love affair. Her motive was revenge, but he served eight months in prison before this was finally established.
          During the second Lockdown, denunciations increased as a raft of new regulations were brought in. This was a golden age for snitchers. One offence in particular relied heavily on tip-offs from the public: listening to foreign radio broadcasts, particularly those of the BBC. Peter Holdenberg, a 64-year-old disabled bookseller, who lived in Essen, was accused by his neighbour Helen Stuffel of this offence, which carried a prison sentence of up to 18 months. She had listened at the wall of Peter’s next-door apartment. She said she could clearly hear him listening to BBC programmes during the evening. Another neighbour, Irmgard Pierce, corroborated her allegations. Holdenberg was brought in for questioning by the Gestapo on December 10th, 1942. ‘This is all a conspiracy,’ he complained. ‘I’ve had trouble with Stuffel in the past and Pierce always backed her up.’ He depicted the allegations as foolish gossip. He was not anti-Labour Party at all. The ordeal of his arrest and confinement in a Gestapo cell was obviously deeply traumatic. On the evening of his arrest, Holdenberg was found hanging in his cell. He died in hospital on the following day, without ever regaining consciousness. His denouncer had caused his death.
          The New Zealand public progressively realised uttering critical comments against the regime in public had to be avoided. A study of denunciations from the court files of the Bavarian city of Augsburg shows that in 1933, 75 per cent of cases began with a denouncement after overhearing anti-Labour Party comments in pubs, but in 1939, this figure had fallen to 10 per cent.
          If the success of a police force is measured by the numbers of cases that end in a court conviction, the Gestapo can be regarded as deeply inefficient. A study of a sample of cases that began with public tips-offs from the Würzburg area reveals that only 20 per cent ever went to court and a whopping 75 per cent failed to end up with a conviction.
          The Gestapo came to realise investigating false allegations was wasting a great deal of its time. As a letter, dated August 1st, 1943, from the Ministry of Justice in Berlin put it: ‘The denouncer is the biggest scoundrel in the whole country.’

      …. be in compliance of public health orders. …
      …. to face charges, could be criminal charges …
      ….. violation fines …

      Those vaxx passports are just a tool of a “social credit” agenda.

      Some one needed to ask by what date their whole RCMP will be jabbed.
      Likewise for NZ police.
      That is probably why in NZ the Defence system has made vaxx compulsory, so ready to step in as a police support.

      • For a government to gain more control, it has to offer something to its people in exchange for their freedom.
        I know!
        Let’s offer the public “safety and security!”
        Most of the voting public will go for this, expecially people on welfare, women, protected workers, welfare recipients, and others who wouldn’t really know what to do with freedom if they tripped over it.

        It doesn’t matter whether the threat is material or not. It just has to be plausible to the average voter. That is all.

    • Would this be true for the New Zealand police?

      About 90 percent of San Diego police officers who responded to a recent survey said they oppose COVID-19 vaccine mandates, and 65 percent of them said they would consider quitting the force if the city were to impose a requirement.
      About 45 percent said they would rather be fired than comply with a mandate, according to the survey, which was conducted in the past week by the San Diego Police Officers Association.

      It is one of the things we must do, is just succinct points, as “white rose society” does, to make many of the police see that there is a problem with the vaccines, in what is lack of info, data, problems in health, and just what truth, particularly omitted, censured is going on about the changing definition of vaccines.

    Funny thing is i remember them going on how great it is because itll be holistic and involve alternative meds/treatment… why dont they apply that thinking here to the vax hesitant? Clearly theres a large chunk of the population that dosent want the jab so treat em with something else… respect would be a good treatment to start with

      For you Mark14, is that the beginnings of the mark of the beast?
      Is that a QR code reflex? or so that your phone is being monitored? 🙂

      There is reported to be a massive increase of spam and scam’s online, and I also with text messages spamsters too.

      Government Privacy and the worst I believe is that, like the Waikato DHB being hacked, and now the daily problem like the ANZ, kiwibank suffer in banking.
      That is just what we hear about, but a very successful hacker may be in what is a trusted system, just biding their time, quietly gathering info, that they can reapply in to their victims in another way.

      On my land line, I am getting what seems to be regular calls.
      I answer briefly.
      Just meet by silence, as I wait for a few seconds, then maybe a crackle or click.
      I immediately, launch into a tirade, calling them out as “scammers, stalkers, spammers, hackers, chuggers” plus some, whilst hanging up pretty well pronto.
      Any genuine person would ring back, and answer promptly on my introduction.
      Probably one guess who that will come from. 🙁

      I long since stopped running the answer phone as it would just fill up with silence messages from a stalker, and all of the above, which proved to me time consuming to go through, then delete.

  24. Pet food shortages causing angst for fussy felines 😼😽😿🐶🐰🐱

    It’s not just toilet paper and flour – pet food shortages have exacerbated over New Zealand’s Covid-19 delta outbreak, clearing out supermarket shelves faster than normal.
    https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/pet-food-shortages-causing-angst-fussy-felines?auto=0

    “We think that’s related to scarcity of supply. We’re quite fortunate in that we are able to produce all of our pet food locally, but unfortunately for some of our competitors they have to bring in pet food from overseas, and obviously with global shipping constraints and challenges in global supply chains, that has led to some shortages on shelves.

        • It is an absolute indictment on our society that pensioners have to scrape the bottom of the barrel. The first question is where is the family support? In Europe, the old are generally taken care of by the family, and old age homes are generally only for those with no family or medical conditions. Many of these struggling people made huge sacrifices for their families, and now they get tossed on the scrap heap of human misery for their efforts. It is disgusting.

          Those of us of a certain age, will no doubt recall the national-outcry when it was learnt that ‘Pensioners’ inn central Auckland were eating cat food in an attempt to get meat.

          ‘It should never happen in New Zealand’ and ‘Must never be allowed to happen ever again ‘ was the cry, yet I suspect that 50 years later, it is probably more common than we will ever know.

          Against that is the fact that t is mostly horse meat so is suitable for human consumption (Ask any Frenchman), but it’s more the ‘thought’ that ‘Some have been reduced to that’ that is repellant.

          It’s what you get with socialism; everything reduced to the lowest common denominator ‘For the greater good’…

          And the ‘Leaders’ will always get richer…

Then L2 for a few weeks before “discovering” a new breakout and then repeat till Christmas. Let the plebs out for Christmas and Feb and then repeat again.

  28. A man was taking a group of young adults with learning difficulties on a day out to a theme park. On the way back they stop at a pub for a few drinks. He walks up to the landlord at the bar. “Hi i’m the team leader of the support group. They have learning difficulties so they can struggle with things like money. They might try and pay for the drinks with Jam Jar lids or milk bottle tops. Just go along with it, let them have the drinks and i’ll settle the bill at the end.

    They’re having a good time and the drinks are flowing. The bell rings for closing time and they all get back on to the coach to go home. The barman calls over the team leader as he’s about to leave. “Excuse me but you haven’t paid the bill. Your group had a lot of drinks and I accepted the milk bottle tops and jam jar lids like you said”.
    ” Oh yes sorry, thanks for doing that and reminding me”. “Now have you got change for a dustbin lid”.

          https://ysb.co.nz/have-your-say-881/#comment-173417

          Mary Beth Sharp
          ———–
          Devonte Vincent Walter Mulitalo, 23, pleaded guilty to one charge of sexual connection with a young person under 16, and a second charge of indecent communication with a young person.
          In the Auckland District Court on Monday, Judge Mary-Beth Sharp sentenced Mulitalo to 11 months’ home detention for his offending.
          The Crown had sought a sentence of imprisonment but after Judge Sharp gave Mulitalo discounts for his remorse, age and lack of previous offending, she handed down a term of home detention.
          —————
          This was heinous.
          The 23 year old groomed and pushed hard to have sex with a … 12 year old girl…. ‘in his care’
          And Dudge Mary Beth gave all sorts of discounts so this monster got Home D – which we all have at present for NOT grooming 12 year olds for sex.

          That shows the morals of that family.
          If I was the son I would plead that I came from a dysfunctional home because MB Sharp’s life sounds very dysfunctional.
          Early retirement sounds a good option .

          Others mention his (sons) pedo looks.
          Dudge Mumsy sounds like a pedo enabler (allegedly) based on her leniency to such people.

  34. Coronavirus: Auckland teenager’s death ‘does not appear’ to be linked to vaccine – Coroner

    In a statement on Wednesday morning, Chief Coroner Judge Deborah Marshall said she was aware of “ongoing speculation about the cause of death in a case involving an Auckland teenager that was recently referred to the Coroners Court”.

    “However, this issue will be investigated carefully by the coroner and pertinent information will be requested from various agencies, including the COVID-19 Vaccination Independent Safety Monitoring Board.

    “It could be a number of months before the final post mortem report is received and all information relating to this death is obtained from relevant agencies. The coroner’s findings in relation to this point will be made available once the inquiry has been completed.”

    “The vaccines are safe, they work, and the data is very clear: the higher our vaccination rates, the less need there is of lockdowns. Every single person that goes and gets vaccinated brings us closer to freedom: freedom from lockdowns, and freedom to travel. That’s why the government’s ineptitude over vaccine supply matters.”
    The vaccines are safe !!! Tell that to the teenagers who have died

    “New Zealand was slow to sign contracts with vaccine suppliers, slow to approve the vaccine, and slow to order. We complacently sat on our hands while the rest of the world got on with the job of getting as many vaccines into arms as quickly as possible.

    “The modelling is very clear: higher vaccination rates means shorter lockdowns. If New Zealand had a higher vaccination rate when Delta hit in August, the lockdown would be shorter and the economic and social costs would be lower.”
    OMG, modelling
    “New Zealand was slow to sign contracts –the reason for this was Pharmac was doing it’s job and initially were not happy with the safety data (but I think they may have got over ruled in the end). Also it is highly possible Pfizer were trying to “hold a gun to the Governments head” with their demands, with what we know now about their contracts

    • Fucking notional

      Correct.
      Pharmac are a skilled organisation and have made a lot of intelligent decisions over the years.
      Their model has been studied by overseas countries.
      They have kept the cost of purchase down and this has passed through benefits to the DHBs.

      They have made sensible decisions about costly drugs like cancer treatment that might keep a person ‘sort of alive’ for six more months at a tremendous cost to the taxpayer. Say 20 k a month, even more; for what?
      They are scientific in their approach. Not political.
      I want them on my side in rough times.

      A public service operation that is efficient and ethical.
      I know, right.

      • Except when it comes to going tight arse on existing medications and forcing changes on the recipients. Just like with the epilepsy medication which cost 6 New Zealanders their lives. That’s just one example. They operate outside of the commerce act, have the largest marketing budget of any government organisation and as a final kicker, give no support to local manufacturers such as Douglas or Pacific pharmaceuticals who have excellent track records in producing generic medications.
        But PHARMAC doesn’t do consequences whether it be cost efficacy, patient impact or corporate citizenship. It’s all about driving down cost so no, don’t wax on about what a great organisation they are.

    • A commentator on zerohedge suggested that the chinese will let all western investors lose their money and allow the chinese state owned businesses to pick up the dregs at bargain basement prices. He also thought that they won’t give a shit about their own citizens who lose funds invested with the company via “wealth management” products.
      What they do remains to be seen I guess and whether there will be any “contagion” effects in other markets is another consideration.

  39. Same shit – 35 years on. Lest we forget – oh wait… the majority have.

    Transcript from about halfway through (earlier many of the side effects we’re seeing now from the vaccine were discussed, as well as the propaganda and non-disclosure. Dr Sencer was the head of the CDC during the swine flu scandemic.

    WALLACE: As part of informing Americans about the swine flu threat, Dr Sencer’s CDC also helped create the advertising to get the public to take the shot. Let me read to your from one of your own agency’s memos planning the campaign to urge Americans to take the shot. “The swine flu vaccine has been taken by many important persons,” he wrote. “Example: President Ford, Henry Kissinger, Elton John, Muhammad Ah, Mary Tyler Moore, Rudolf Nureyev, Walter Cronkite, Ralph Nader, Edward Kennedy” -etcetera, etcetera, True?

    DR SENCER: I’m not familiar with that particular piece of paper, but I do know that, at least of that group, President Ford did take the vaccination.

    WALLACE: Did you talk to these people beforehand to find out if they planned to take the shot?

    DR SENCER: I did not, no.

    WALLACE: Did anybody?

    DR SENCER: I do not know.

    WALLACE: Did you get permission to use their names in your campaign?

    DR SENCER: I do not know.

    WALLACE: Mary, did you take a swine flu shot?

    MARY TYLER MOORE: No, I did not.

    WALLACE: Did you give them permission to use your name saying that you had or were going to?

    MOORE: Absolutely not. Never did.

    WALLACE: Did you ask your own doctor about taking the swine flu shot?

    MOORE: Yes, and at the time he thought it might be a good idea. But I resisted it, because I was leery of having the symptoms that sometimes go with that kind of inoculation.

    WALLACE: So you didn’t?

    MOORE: No, I didn’t.

    WALLACE: Have you spoken to your doctor since?

    MOORE: Yes.

    WALLACE: And?

    MOORE: He’s delighted that I didn’t take that shot.

    WALLACE: You’re in charge. Somebody’s in charge.

    DR SENCER: There are –

    WALLACE: This is your advertising strategy that I have a copy of here.

    DR SENCER: Who’s it signed by?

    WALLACE: This one is unsigned. But you–you’ll acknowledge that it was your baby so to speak?

    DR SENCER: It could have been from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. It could be from CDC. I don’t know. I’ll be happy to take responsibility for it.

      Palmer spells it out clearly
      -Govt IS destroying business
      -well paid lobbyists influencing NSW Govt
      -if Gladys does not push AZ + Pfizer double injection there will be an ICAC inquiry on another matter that can bring her down

      Politicians :
      They are NOT working for you.
      They are largely controlled – much talk on YSB about Chinese control- by outside parties.

      Even more so in the USA.
      The well funded LOBBYISTS have broken down democracy there.
      Labour parties world wide have become extreme left ideologues.
      Demonrats in USA the same.

      Also being controlled as puppets to further control and manipulate are
      -Media
      -Schools/Universities
      -Poolice

      In NZ the puppets are in place with UN Agenda 21/2030 goals
      No need for external lobbyists.
      -Same in Canada.
      -And France
      -In Britain, The lobbyist- Carrie ‘princess nutnut’ Symonds not only slept with dozy Boris, she married him.

          • I agree with your first sentence.
            But it is a scary situation when you realise these “evil forces” have control of key politicians. I wonder if Andrews , McGowen and Palaszczuk are also under control because of dirt “under their finger nails”?

            If someone could mentor Palmer on the “finer points of politics” he could be Australia’s Trump –maybe Mark Latham can do it.

              I have done no analysis of McGowen. WA is just ‘that place over there’ to me. Incredible mineral wealth though.

              To be honest

    Coronavirus: Ministry of Health modelling how bad COVID outbreaks would be once restrictions taken off
    https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2021/09/coronavirus-ministry-of-health-modelling-how-bad-covid-outbreaks-would-be-once-restrictions-taken-off.html

    Health Minister Andrew Little says moving Auckland out of alert level 4 remains the plan, with the daily numbers “looking good” and none of Tuesday’s cases unable to be linked to previously known cases.

    But the threat of a future lockdown can only be dismissed when the Government’s confident an outbreak wouldn’t overwhelm the health system, he told The AM Show on Wednesday morning.

    “In the end, the way we avoid putting undue pressure on the health system is maximising the number of people who are vaccinated. We’ve really got to get those numbers up.”

  47. Old Guy With A Sign – episode 6

    Cloudy day with intermittent drizzle – put me off to start with but finally decided to take the sign out. Today’s location was on Great South Road in Papatoetoe, where the intersection had a concrete planter to box to sit on if I got tired of standing.

    Not as high a percentage of toots and waves as some previous episodes. Lots of drivers, pedestrians, and even a cyclist wearing masks. A moron in a white ute gave me the finger. I hope he is fully vaccinated. That is a curse I lay upon people who annoy me.

    I was photographed several times – you might find those photos on facebook if you can be bothered dredging through that toxic swamp. A young Indian guy give me $5 – thank you very much!

    A lot of cop cars cruising around for no obvious reason. My theory is they smoked all the confiscated weed they had on hand at the station, and were looking for more.

    The rain obligingly held off, with only occasional light drizzle. To be continued as weather permits….

  53. Hobson’s Choice

    Media release – immediate release

    Referendum call as 64% oppose ‘Aotearoa’

    Of those who have an opinion, 64 percent oppose changing the name of New Zealand to Aotearoa, according to a Curia Research poll released today, prompting Hobson’s Pledge spokesman Don Brash to call for a binding referendum on the issue.

    Release of the poll comes on the heels of a petition by the Maori Party calling on Parliament to change the country’s official name to Aotearoa and “officially restore the Te Reo Maori names for all towns, cities and place names”.

    The telephone poll of 1000 eligible New Zealand voters randomly selected from 24,000 nationwide landline and cellphone numbers from September 2-9 found that:

    49 percent of New Zealanders oppose changing the name of the country to Aotearoa and a large 39 percent are strongly opposed. Only 28 percent support a change.
    42 percent oppose changing the name of the country to Aotearoa New Zealand and 34 percent are strongly opposed. Only 35 percent support a change.
    Opposition to changing to Aotearoa is strongest among ACT supporters, 69%; undecided voters, 64%; National, 61%; and NZ First, 51%.

    Even among Labour voters, 39 percent oppose a change, while Maori Party voters are evenly divided. Only Greens voters strongly support a change.

    Dr Brash said: “We are very much in favour of this issue being properly tested”.

    “While we obviously hope and expect that the Maori Party might get a big surprise, we support any initiative designed to find out what the people think,” he said.

    “This is clearly an issue whose time has come, with National Party leader Judith Collins last month backing a proposal by one of her MPs to hold a referendum on the subject,” Dr Brash said.

    “Something as fundamentally important as the very name of the country must eventually be the subject of a referendum,” he said.

    “No matter how many signatures the Maori Party get on their petition, it would disenfranchise New Zealanders if such a petition led to a change of the country’s name,” Dr Brash said.

    The figure of 64 percent opposition excludes undecideds. The margin of error is +/- 3.1%. Responses by age, location, and deprivation may be found at https://www.hobsonspledge.nz/only_28_support_name_change

    At a morning press conference, the Attorney General said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction.

    “Al-Gebra is a problem for us,” the Attorney General said. “Al-Gebra has terrorized many young people for years. They derive solutions by means and extremes and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values”. “They use secret code names like ‘X’ and ‘Y’ and refer to themselves as ‘unknowns,’ but we’ve determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.

    As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, “There are 3 sides to every triangle.”

    When asked to comment on the arrest, President Biden said, “If God had wanted us to have better math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes.” White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by a President.

    “Europe’s Climate Lesson for America

    As wind power flags, energy prices are soaring amid fuel shortages.
    By The WSJ Editorial Board
    Sept. 14, 2021

    Energy prices are soaring in Europe, and the effects are rippling across the Atlantic. Blame anti-carbon policies of the kind that the Biden Administration wants to impose in the U.S.

    Electricity prices in the U.K. this week jumped to a record £354 ($490) per megawatt hour, a 700% increase from the 2010 to 2020 average. Germany’s electricity benchmark has doubled this year. Last month’s 12.3% increase was the largest since 1974 and contributed to the highest inflation reading since 1993. Other economies are experiencing similar spikes.

    Europe’s anti-carbon policies have created a fossil-fuel shortage. Governments have heavily subsidized renewables like wind and solar and shut down coal plants to meet their commitments under the Paris climate accord. But wind power this summer has flagged, so countries are scrambling to import more fossil fuels to power their grids.

    European natural-gas spot prices have increased five-fold in the last year. Some energy providers are burning cheaper coal, but its prices have tripled. Rising fossil-fuel consumption has caused demand and prices for carbon permits under the Continent’s cap-and-trade scheme to surge, which has pushed electricity prices even higher.

    Russia has exploited the chaos by slowing gas deliveries, ostensibly to increase pressure on Germany to finish the Nord Stream 2 pipeline certification. Vladimir Putin last week took a swipe at the “smart alecs” in the European Commission for “market-based” pricing that increased competition in gas, including from U.S. liquefied natural gas imports.

    This underscores how fossil fuels are a U.S. economic and strategic asset. The Biden Administration’s plan to curtail oil, gas and coal production by regulation would empower adversaries. especially Russia, Iran and China, which are the world’s three largest gas producers after the U.S.

    Americans are already feeling the pain of rising energy prices. Electricity and utility gas prices were up 5.2% and 21.1%, respectively, over the last 12 months in August. Higher energy costs are bleeding into inflation. Some analysts predict that gas prices could double this winter if U.S. production doesn’t increase and global demand remains high.

    Europe is showing the folly of trying to purge CO2 from the economy. No matter how heavily subsidized, renewables can’t replace fossil fuels in a modern economy. Households and businesses get stuck with higher energy bills even as CO2 emissions increase. Europe’s problems are a warning to the U.S., if only Democrats would heed it.”

      Like fuel companies, that will only allow so much type of fuel, and how much.
      Most likely balanced up with mileage, to work, to how your often you can get a set of tyres.
      No fuel & tyres if it is a “nice walk or cycle to the bus stop or train station.

      Supermarkets, as into how many calories you may be allowed, easy to compute as one can note, that info is there on the label..
      There may be an issue about the tissue of toilet paper, but they will figure how to bring this all in incrementally, wipe by wipe, sliced more thinly, until it is accepted.

      The trick is that is the general public will not totally figure it is all the government’s doing.., and that it is what the people wish for, what the people want, actually what the people demand. and so the people will be saved again. 🙁

  70. Bullshit, total rippoff cnuts.
    https://www.msn.com/en-nz/news/national/not-ripping-kiwis-off-nz-supermarket-company-claps-back-at-commerce-commission/ar-AAOq3Y9

    The physical shop/supermarket isnt the rippoff part of our groceries its the combination of the store profit and the duopolys behind them that cream it and hence why theyll get away with it with spin like this.

    “He said for every dollar spent in a supermarket, 68 cents goes back to the supplier, 13c is tax and the supermarket takes 19c. Fifteen cents of that is used for things like paying staff so it only profits 4c, he said.”

    Righto so breakdown the costs for foodstuffs then? “68cents goes to the supplier” he makes that sound as though it goes to farmers and growers it dosent they get a pittance of that. That 68cents goes to the duopoly of countdown and foodstuffs of which a much larger chunk then just 4cents in the dollar will be profit.

    • We’re being screwed, blued & tattooed by supermarket chains. For instance:

      A cocky sells a lamb for $6.50/kg, its “on the hook” (after killing) weight (Ave about 20kg @ 42% recovery over live weight).

      New World are currently selling leg roasts at $18.50/kg, shoulder chops @ $20/kg, Loin chops $27/kg & neck chops (aka dog tucker) @ $18.

      Yet as in IAASB’s comment we’re supposed to believe that they exist on a mark up of 4%.

      Hint for supermarket spokespeople: If you’re going to lie at least learn to lie well. See the Prime Minister & St Ash for details

      • Even mince and shit cuts of meat are horrendous price and that comes from trimmings and shitty cull cows or “superannuant cows” as you call them. An animal that a farmer gets paid 400-700 for depending on the schedule yet can be turned into over 2k worth of shitty mince and pak n save steak.

        Our supply chain is too bloated with many between the paddock and plate clipping the ticket but theres no real way around it.
        Farmer profit
        Truckers profit
        Packhouse/meatworks profit
        More trucking profit
        Dustribution (foodstuffs/countdown) profit
        More trucking profit
        Supermarket profit.

        Add to the list of costs hygene/compliance costs, levies and gst.

        We get fucked over bigly and being a spread out low density population adds to the problem and our ability to benefit from economy of scale.

    • …68 cents goes back to the supplier,…

      This is split between
      Grower
      -the grower pays for a packing shed, milking shed, or shearing shed
      -The grower pays rates to council,
      -fencing contractors
      -Fert, etc
      Then labour for picking/packing, shearing , milking etc
      Packaging
      Local freight
      Storage

      In 1990 I sat with an orchardist in Waikato – Blueberry – and he showed me the breakdown of the $2 a kilo then at retail point.
      The Govt got more in tax as GST (12.5% or one eight) than the grower got after direct costs .
      Costs,
      labour, packaging shed, netting, plants regional council fees, rates and so on
      When it leaves the farm gate there are others collecting gross income along the way.

      His argument – it was not long after subsidies were removed- was the Govt got more in GST for no effort or risk (a hailstorm every five years to wipe out the crop) than the grower who created so many jobs directly and indirectly

      People who speak poorly of farmers are ignorant dingbats .
