There is more to come out yet. This liar has the lefties disease. Lying just come naturally to all of them.

Looks like Labou in UK still has problems
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jul/09/labour-peers-resign-over-handling-of-antisemitism-complaints-triesman-darzi-turnberg
i love how on their way out they are throwing the entire party under the bus but merely confirming what we already knew about Labour UK and their vile worzel gummidge looking leader
The animosity from farmers and tradies has started already with the Governments I’ll thought out policy of taxing gas guzzlers and discounting electric vehicle’s.
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/07/farmers-tradies-angered-by-government-s-proposed-fees-for-high-emissions-vehicles.html
Trademan are asking how the can transport their tool to a job of they don’t have a large vehicle and saying prices will rise if the Government keep deciding to penalize them.
This Government wants to know why business confidence is a all time low well here is one of the answer’s .
Given that damned near every deluded first-world country has stated their intention to only manufacture electric cars and horse-drawn wagons in about three years and the fact that tradies are such terrible drivers they need to replace their vehicles every year or so where are the tradies going to get their large gas-guzzlers from?
Where there is a market someone will fill the market. We might even start making our own. 😆
Yep bring back the Trekka from the 60’s
I’m not sure I want to drive a Lada.
You won’t be ‘driving’ a Lada, you’ll be pushing it. Not only will you be pushing your Lada you’ll be enjoying it (or else comrade).
Why do Ladas have a heater for the back window?
To keep your hands warm when pushing.
What is found on the last two pages of every Lada owner’s manual?
The bus schedule.
Wan’t that the stupid Soviet’s “people’s car?” And at the same time in history, my Grandmother drove a ’67 Impala with a 327 V8. Ha ha!
Yes, the USSR Lada was based on the Fiat 124 but made worse.
Did you know that back in the 80’s due to the unique way Muldoon ran our economy the NZ dairy board were the importer and distributor for Lada Motor cars?
The Russians were the only buyers for our ever growing butter and dairy product mountain.
It was a swap. Our butter for their cars.
Still see the odd one on back country farms.
New Zealand missed the opportunity to nuclear power a small coastal city.
Would have been great to have started New Zealand technology in the nuclear industry. 😉
What about us buying a decommissioned sub or aircraft carrier that is nuclear powered. They can power a small city. We can have one in every port.Be a great standby when we run out of gas since Cindy has banned any further exploration.
Electric 12-tonne diggers? Tractors? 18-wheelers? Hello that is so not going to happen! This Col just can’t stop trying to insult our intelligence.
Would you believe?
The diggers, tractors, can all plug into those portable generators.
That is what generators do, make electricity. 🙂
Just wait until they subsidize the system, like already the windmills etc., particularly something like batteries to kick started by some provincial “cargo”money gift.
The “intelligient” subsidized Elon Musk can not be too far away. 🙁
It will become like who can get into that system, as the Venezuelans did when petrol was so subsidized that billions of $ of it were smuggled out.
That made life bearable until :-
Eventually the subsidies were curbed.
Then the real plight that government put them in was fully revealed.
The COL will simply make diggers, tractors and 18 wheelers illegal, with no thought about the consequences to our lives.
You’re making the mistake of assuming that these scum are thinking logically.
You’re wrong about that. The existence of a market, however strong, is now no indicator that the demand will be filled. The government will simply pass draconian laws to prevent people from living their lives as they see fit.
Don’t make assumptions. We are no longer living in a free country, and the sooner we wake up and realise this the more chance we have to do something about it.
The Mad Queen’s CoL doesn’t care about logic or reasonableness or any of the things sensible commenters here talking about. They only care about “fairness”, not the sort of fairness that the fair-minded people on YSB appreciate.
The Mad Queen only cares about marxist fairness, which is a fairness of outcome. Marxism sees homogeneity of the proletariat as a posidive. In the case of this policy, the fairness is that everyone is in a similar state of restricted mobility. If beneficiaries can’t afford to have nice cars and do long trips, then marxist fairness dictates that everyone should be similarly constrained.
Everything the adorable CoL does is about controlling the masses and beating down anyone who gets ahead (if you get ahead that’s unfair on someone everyone else who hasn’t).
And so long as we have MMP, we’re going to continue to have governments like this one. As long as we have MMP, we’re going to run the risk every three years of allowing creeping Marxism (sadly we don’t have a centre right party to roll back the insanity of the Marxists for the nine years they’re in power).
Except for the political elites of course. They can be as opulent as they like.
Yes, that could be another Aunty Helen Shower head moments.
So we have had a 3 monthly survey saying Business Confidence is down.
The Wellington Chamber of Commerce saying its down!
And Now Trademe says its job ads are down (as a result of low business confidence?)
Down compared to what?
It was damned near zero six months ago.
Old ‘Slick Willy’. “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”. A trail of women, and possibly underage girls over a long life. His wife said it best, “he’s a hard dog to keep on the porch.”
On the radio no one but Trump is getting mentioned what a surprise eh, not the alleged 26 times Clinton was there grab the popcorn this one is going to be fun
well, let’s be frank about this. Would you stay at home if you were married to her??
no one talks about her sleeping around. She didn’t . Pull my left tit.
Dunno Viking she might be a bit of fun during one of those seizures damn just grossed myself out with a mental image
Now I wish my minds eye was blind thanks for the thought, vomit inducing.
Not sure if she slept around but she certainly screwed over quite a few people.
The other issue for the Clintons are they are no longer the mover and shakers of the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party is now quite willing to throw the Clintons under the bus.
Once upon a time they protected Slick Willy from all and sundry. That protection is gone.
Ross Perot, the Texan who stood for President of the USA twice has died, aged 89.
https://abc7chicago.com/ross-perot-former-presidential-candidate-dies-at-age-89/5385592/
“The billionaire businessman became a household name due to his role as a third party candidate in the 1992 and 1996 presidential races.
According to Forbes’ latest available data, Perot was worth $4.1 billion at the time of his death.”
And without Perot, it is unlikely we’d even know about the Clintons.
Yes Perot split the vote by taking 19% off the Republican candidate George Bush allowing Clinton to come through and win.
Perot also managed to get his people out of Iran while the Carter was stuffing around with the hostage crisis
Pharmac spends tens of millions on Oxycontin:
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/111691539/pharmac-has-spent-tens-of-millions-on-oxycontin-blamed-for-americas-opioid-crisis
“Pharmac has spent tens of millions of dollars funding a painkiller at the centre of the American opioid crisis. Experts say it has created a whole new population of drug users. National Correspondent Tony Wall investigates.
Oxycodone, known by its brand name OxyContin or more colloquially as ‘Hillbilly Heroin’, was meant to be an alternative for people who didn’t tolerate morphine.”
“If you say ‘I’m going to put you on morphine’ … they say ‘hell, don’t do that’. They’re petrified of it and yet the irony is that oxycodone is twice as strong as morphine.”
This prescription medicine, possibly has a legitimate market, like for terminal illness, cancer pain patients.
However it is has been marketed legitimately through the medical system.
The money that company made, helped to mask, hide the testing, blind the feed back, so that it could seem to be legitimate.
This can be another feed in to other drugs, as people can become desperate, to solve their ‘pain problems’ and / or to replicate the euphoria that they had in taking that drug.
A big part of the problem is that many authorities do not recognize the easily addictive part of this drug, and the immediate problems of withdrawal symptoms.
It is put that the patients “abuse the drug” and so it is a “drug of abuse”.
What is not pointed out is the desperation that the person feels,
For myself when prescription medicated, was the hiccups, constipation, and then after the euphoria, the so realistic anxiety nightmares that not only do I still recall, but could write a very realistic terrifying “Game of thrones” with people that I personally know. That was after major surgery and probably on morphine.
At wiki’s link look how it was marketed, to give increased amount of pills per prescription, but still for a 12 hour period, though the pain killing effects had worn off in 7 to 8 hours.
Hamish Rutherford calls Winston Peter’s out for what he is, cantankerous was one word describing Peter’s and I could think of a few more.
https://i.stuff.co.nz/business/114106542/winston-peters-wonders-why-he-does-not-get-a-thank-you-from-farmers
This scourge of a Politician will always be a arsehole and the sooner the wakes up and decides we could do better the sooner NZ will prosper.
Yet after he gets turfed out, people forget and start voting for him again. I suspect he’ll be turfed out once again in 2020, and presumably he’s still alive in 2023 (or has a zombie clause) Winston First will be back in.
He’s the cockroach of politics.
I want to edit your comment to be “chucked out once again in 2020“, just for shit and giggles.
In my mind he’s the slime the cockroach ardern feeds on….
The analogy doesn’t work. Cockroaches are hard to kill. Once the fairydust has come off Ardern, her political fortunes will plummet. For all her supposed toughness, Clark is never going to rule NZ again (excepting a military coup). This will be Ardern’s fate.
Peters, on the other hand, has proven thus far impossible to stamp out. No matter how discredited he is, he finds enough gullible idiots to get him back into the halls of power.
If anything, she’s the slime that Peters feeds on.
Either way, I’m happy 😉
Get rid of them both out of politics. Troughers. I hate this COL
Winston is the product of the problem. The real problem is MMP, a system that 3 times out of 8 MMP elections has made Winston the kingmaker.
Winston is the perfect MMP animal. There is nothing about MMP that engenders thinking of the national good, MMP rewards the self-serving. And as a lawyer, Winston is able to put aside right and wrong and make decisions on what benefits him the most – this is an MMP phenomenon. All forms of PR take the power away from the majority and puts it in the hand of the most amoral minority.
When Winston is gone, there’ll be another Winston following his methods.
MMP is the great evil, we can tell this because all the insane socialists love it!
The Government have released the discussion paper for the referendum.
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/07/exclusive-further-details-of-government-s-medicinal-cannabis-scheme-revealed.html
I could be wrong here but it sounds like they are looking to combine legalizing Cannabis, euthanasia and the lowering of the 5% threshold for minor Parties to get into Parliament into one referendum.
As well as throwing our money away?
Lowering the threshold anything for power eh knowing that Kiwis are switching on to how useless the lot of them are as they make moves to try & keep Peters & the Green Taliban in power, not being overtly political does anyone know if there has ever been such a disgusting & blatant attempt to retain power at any cost
Yes Ardern – Please declare a Climate Change Emergency.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/climate-news/113943832/declarations-of-climate-emergencies-will-only-increase-apathy#comments
It will only make you look more stupid in a few years if nothing happens
Might keep her home do you think, or at least stop using Airforce 757 for private holidays!
But how would Jethro have got to the Cook Islands to film his fishing show without the taxpayer funding Cindy’s own private plane?
Will the next small step be that some “ordinary people” claim legitimate rights under this declaration of emergency?
Will they be able to stop an aeroplane, or an air port because they can claim it is emitting a dangerous pollution?
Will this allow road blocks. check points, that will hold up “gas guzzling” vehicles?
How will our judiciary blend this into adjudication and effect our current laws?
Like more than just “wet bus tickets” but no convictions because the motives now could be considered to be “pure”?
Will those councils then be expected to give some financial resources to the “climate change”- “”warriors””?
The real issue; will the people rise up and vote out this stupidity?
You have posed some very good questions. It will be a repeat of the “Te Treety” That cost the taxpayer billions and is continuing to do so.
Anything that affects everyone except the politicians will be voted in. Shaw and co will still go on their overseas jaunts instead of staying here and using technology.
There must be some treaty right 🙂 so that ‘rangatira’ have some exemptions for the vehicles they will drive around in.
There must be exemptions for ‘maori trusts’ as well.
So that loop hole allows a limit for the import of up to 3 vehicles to be imported by a private person.
Sort of like Venezuela, when they allowed their citizen to quietly smuggle out the subsidized very cheap petrol to neighbouring countries.
It then became a racket, until the government realized the billions of dollars cost flow and can not afford the subsidies.
Well, actually the ‘rangatira’ and their mates will crap themselves when they find that Sweet cindy applies the same rules to their big boats. Peters will be p[issed because he won’t be able to buy a new bigger one when he retires in 2050.
so not are they coming for your taxes on vehicles but they will be there to collect your boat tax.
I seem to recall some other arse wipe from the Nats tried that. Got a right bollocking and destroyed the boat building industry. That, of course, will be ok with cindy because it makes it fair. you will have to use canoes for fishing like all the fucking wokes.
Fuck govt. give me the shits. I’m sure you have noticed. meanwhile, mt tenants who struggle every week are getting shafted more and more. They are not happy campers. But hey I’m gonna put their rents up till it hurts. Then they you think. might vote better.
Please tell cindy that the PLAN is now changed.
Yep, I’m just waiting for petrol stations to be mobbed by gangs of greenpeace-type idiots, car dealers sabotaged, maybe a takeover of Marsden Point?
The only thing a climate emergency will accomplish is yet another raid on our wallets thats why so many councils are so keen to do it, Bill English had it right when he said NZs were not an ATM for this socialist govt and their smash the average Kiwi into the ground financially ideology
The article reeks for a longing to completely take over our choices as consumers and free people, and tell us how to live in every possible way they can. There is NO emergency ffs. It’s all bullshit and the thinking person knows it.
When not if, sorry but I had to fix that for you. When nothing happens they will all look stupid.
I’d rather Ardern and Little declared a Violent Crime Emergency and locked up all the thugs and gorillas in our midst (or sent them home)
But they are Labours voting base!
And maybe your personal trainer…..
Nothing in the media about Cindy taking an Airforce plane for a private holiday and possible wedding in the Cook islands!
Do you know if she did and if so what size?
757. Just a personal jet!
Would you have a source please?
Is she really that stupid (rhetorical of course) we haven’t heard anything concrete yet, you would have to be almost brain dead to do that after fuel hikes, EV bullshit, climate emergencies etc etc i wouldn’t put it past our hijabi harridan of course the light seems to flicker but im sure there is no-one home
Just wait next year, when the drunken dwarf comes out in election mode and puts a stop to all these virtue signalling crappy ideas. He will be seen as the saviour, and all the dumb arse voters will once again vote for him.
Peters may have left it a bit late.
One of the reasons is that Trump will be sucking out all the oxygen in the news in the US presidential election. TDS will be in full swing. Unless Peters does outrageous things, I doubt he’ll get any oxygen from our press.
I know it has been speculated that the Ardern is getting married in part by the generous tax-payer (a free trip to the Cook Islands). I doubt it. I still maintain that she’ll deliberately attempt to stage the wedding to maximise a positive press cycle for our 2020 election, thus depriving Peters of whatever remaining oxygen Trump hasn’t already claimed.
No, I doubt there is a single thing Peters can do that won’t get him “chucked out once again in 2020” (for Pascal). If he really tries (and I hope he does) to get attention, he may end up negatively impacting the Greens and Labour.
Nah! Married now, new baby just before the election!
At her age, getting pregnant is more difficult, and it’s a lot harder on the body. Admittedly, all the pampering she gets may negate the second point to a large degree.
Another kid down.
A 30-year-old man has been arrested and charged after a 10-month-old baby was seriously injured in Hokitika yesterday.
The baby was airlifted to Christchurch Hospital, where he remains in a critical condition, says Detective Senior Sergeant Kirsten Norton.
https://www.newsie.co.nz/news/155767-man-charged-after-baby-left-critial-condition.html?fbclid=IwAR2AEADLmOG4pNr2gk2P3n5aGkKAGC9Ea33XkiMniQJn46MpKeO0rtUfwAQ
What’s the bet its SOCK that the new root didn’t want around SSDD with these feral scum when will these people make better choices as to who they let around their vulnerable kids
Fyi SOCK=some other c..ts kids, SSDD=same shit different day
Have you seen these ferals? They are so objectionable that they will shack up with just about anything.
It’s all about having a man to breed the next ticket to stay on the gravy train that is the DPB.
It is also true that a lot of these women have been brought up to think that that sort of man, any man is all they deserve.
It is the men who bludge off the women and their children, they take their ‘pleasures’ and contribute nothing. Emotionally or financially.
Having been married to one, plenty. Some, not all of them are alpha.
Speaking for myself, my first husband was the flame that the moths were drawn to, the joker, the life and soul of the party, the teller of tales. He picked me when he could have picked any of the others, so I was flattered I guess. He never got the opportunity to cheat on me though as I realised when our son was three months old that I didn’t want that lifestyle for him. But women were always going to throw themselves at him.
There is an element of the rescuer in women though, of saving seemingly self destructive men from themselves by giving them a familial purpose. We think that we know better of course.
I might add that I thought that I could save my second husband also, never again. Weak men need strong women to look after them but that is different to men not wanting to be saved.
they are the ones the All Blacks coach described a couple of days ago. I see he has been beaten up and now repents. silly man, He should have told them all to fuck off. They will pull his cock every time he moves now.
Well, kind of. You weren’t around in the early 60’s when the women got the pill. Many were at home all day, got bored and were very happy to share a bit of a romp. The stories from the Electrolux door to door salesman were legend.
Get with the narrative.
The mother bears no responsibility as she was vulnerable with low self esteem and had no idea what was going on.
Rinse and repeat.
Not no responsibility, just not all.
If other mammals are to go by (e.g. lions, bears, rabbits and camels), it’s a really base instinct in the male of the mammal species to wipe out the offspring of another male. These cases in the human species are almost always ferals, and ferals are the lowest rung on our society. Ergo, they run on base instinct.
(I suspect dolphin cows fuck all the bulls in the pod as a survival instinct: the bulls could all be the potential father of the calf, thus killing the calf is potentially killing one’s genetic lineage).
We all know what NEEDS to happen to a baby-basher, but it will be more like community service
Looks like it was a white guy.
We need to publisice this as much as we can
Just to show our Maori cousins that we do arrest and prosecute non Maori in these cases.
It will show them just how much of it they do.
Anyway I don’t care as that’s a few less ferals to bash us and rob us and take our taxes in 15 years time
Doesn’t matter what it ‘looks like’…. some of the most feral scum in the country have 1/32nd moorrree blood and yet they ‘identify’ as moorrrees in order to gain all the privileges, handouts and preferential treatment.
I see a Chinese electronic surveillance ship will cruise just outside Australia’s territorial waters and spy on war games being held in Queensland.
A supposed security expert said that will present a great opportunity to test electronic jamming measures on this Chinese vessel.
Yeah, right. We jam Chinese surveillance, and they go home to work on Plan B. Where do these supposed experts pop up from? This is exactly what the Chinese will be expecting. We would be better just plonking a satellite over them and scanning what electronic emanations the ship gives off.
I don’t think the yanks will take this threat lightly, without having some plan. Have they got subs in the area stalking this Chinese ship? We will never be told the full story here.
Whats that song by Bob Marley ?
Jammin, Jammin
That will be their plan A Matt they know attempts will be made they are probably testing out new anti jamming tech i doubt they are going to go all the way over there to just sit idly by, a bit of a concern they are so damn blatant about it though
It is a concern, Garbageman. It’s like they are reminding us they intend to be a major player in the Pacific ( they are already major investors). And they seem to showing they fear no one.
Makes you wonder how long before they make a move on Taiwan and Hong Kong?
They already have Hong Kong. Admittedly, they’ve had a minor setback in recent days but the PRC will rectify that.
Taiwan wants continued independence from the PRC. China wants Taiwan. At the moment, Trump has been prepared to give the PRC the middle finger over Taiwan. I suspect Taiwan remains safe until the US elects another dimwit like Obama.
Is Tova on the out? I just saw her talking on the AM show from the beehive media room. Has Cindy gone more feral than normal? Her media whore should be by her side to report on Jethro’s antics while in the Cooks.
Well it has been Suggested that Jethro has been a fan of threesomes in the past so maybe they have someone else in mind for a change.
But who is going to stalk Bridges & comfort JLR
brett… on kiwiblog. He has a whole lot of hate for Simon Bridges which he vents at every opportunity.
I don’t see a problem with that.
Bridges is the epitome of an insipid wimp.
Just a question that someone could share a light on, has Maori been given the largest share of Shane Jones PGF and if so is this fair.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/rotorua-daily-post/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503438&objectid=12247614
We know it is a bribe fund for Winston to remain in Parliament so why Maori they don’t vote for him or NZ First.
There is a complicated explanation… maori actually resent being “seen” as receiving charity. They’ll take but spit at you behind your back.
The simple explanation is that they don’t like either of them.
Government wipes debts for unpaid NCEA fees
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/394014/government-wipes-debts-for-unpaid-ncea-fees
“Nearly 150,000 people have today received NCEA credits that had previously been withheld because they did not pay the qualification’s annual fees”.
What a disgusting example to set for people.
Don’t pay your bills because eventually it will be wiped and the government will give you it for free anyway.
You going to refund all those rich suckers who did the right thing and paid up?, nah thought not.
Oh well looking on the bright side at least after all that academic struggle the disadvantaged will now get their kapa haka credits.
Them kapa haka credits are so valuable in obtaining worthwhile employment!
Just like basket weaving and gender studies.
Labour lite looked after the Christchurch people who did not pay insurance and contribute to the EQC like the majority did.
This act by Liebour will simply be shoring up votes.
If they had cared about the NCEA results (and presumably really didn’t0. then those who have started work would have had no trouble paying the small fee.
Clearly, they simply did not value the NCEA results. Free market result right there.
Canterbury man dies choking on pie during competition
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/114114363/tragedy-after-canterbury-man-dies-choking-on-pie-during-competition
“It was a very tragic accident … everyone was having a great night until that happened.”
No such thing as an accident when you are having fun.
Was everyone given a H&S briefing?
Were there clearly designated first aid officers?.
Were all the hazards of eating a pie clearly identified and displayed so contestants were aware of them?.
Were all contestants given appropriate training on safely eating a pie and received the appropriate NCEA credits?.
So many unanswered questions….
and surely the organizers had “a duty of care”
Lets see what a the coroner says about such events?
An accident or not? will ACC make a payout.
How would a judge rule about negligence, fines and compensation.
All the bureaucracy have over reach and to look very busy and self important with their rulings.
Yes, but did he blow on the pie ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEAHLFvD3v4
Always Blow On The Pie!
Safer communities together!
Is that a euphemism?
Rare Wellington snails under threat from mountain bikers
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/394031/rare-wellington-snails-under-threat-from-mountain-bikers
“A rare type of snail only found on a specific hill in Wellington is being threatened by mountain bikers’ unauthorised trails, an ecological group says”.
So anyway some snails are under threat apparently but what interested me more was this bubbly little piece of fluff from Bronwen Shephard about why they are so important:
“What’s so wonderful about these creatures is despite their size, they’re so important to the ecology,” she said. “Not just of the local environment, but science has proven over and over again that it’s the little critters that contribute to the essential ecological processes that maintain … and sustain all life.
“They’re so critical to all of us, as a human species.”
So critical to all of us as a human species yet they are found only on one hill in Wellington.
You are so full of shit lady.
Have you not heard of Chaos Theory (or the butterfly effect)? It’s feasible but highly improbable that eliminating these snails will cause our downfall.
Did you not know that when the dodo went extinct, that was the day humans went extinct? Likewise the Moa and Haast Eagle…
MMM Remember what happened to all those rare snails that caused the Pike river mine to go underground??? Shame really but ho hum.
Winston on ZB
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UmzsWxPLIOo
I don’t know what model car I drive
Where Cindy is even though rest of the world does.
Don’t know who the $300,000 man is or where he is from
The most open government in the history of NZ.
I didn’t follow how politicians answered questions much until I watched Jay Carney the former press secretary of Obama answered questions on the behalf of his boss.
His sublime use of ignorance was something to behold. He wielded ignorance like a surgeon’s scalpel. But not knowing anything, he was able to deflect any criticism; it was like trying to pin jelly to a wall. If something topical had been on all the news networks, he’d never seen any of them. If there was a report, he’d never read it. The man knew nothing (or at least claimed to know absolutely nothing).
I don’t know if Carney invented ignorance as the best way to answer political questions but it sure was effective.
It was a bit like watching Senator Cruz trying to get information out of Google’s Maggie Stanphil over Project Veritas’ report on Google. She didn’t know anything either. She had a “day job” on why she didn’t know anything.
Ignorance seems to have become the du jour for answering political questions, especially on the Left.
Senility setting in. Is there not a Doc who can send him to a retirement home complete with locked doors.
Never rile up a westie.
National Party deputy leader Paula Bennett has blasted proposed penalties on high-emissions vehicles, claiming they’re just another tax on hard-working Kiwis.
The Government announced it’s considering a “feebate” scheme, which would lower the cost of lower emission, hybrid or electric vehicles while adding a fee to bigger cars like utes and SUVs.
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2019/07/paula-bennett-derides-proposed-high-emissions-vehicle-penalties.html?fbclid=IwAR1xiqB3lfkbCB4UCjqLnZ09Wuy-IuZYeYETKzIY8_7_eGJCIxFzWJ6Awt8
Mark Mitchell on the radio just now thinks the idea has merit but says it will hurt the poor people struggling well thats one reasonably limp wristed of saying it Mark, when will this lot realise the media are their enemy, full on attack mode should be the only answers not a backhanded compliment of sorts
Doubt the Nats. have anyone with a firm enough handshake to stand up to anything. Didn’t Mitchel have some sort of reputation as a tough guy. where’s a rob Muldoon when you really need one. ( Not that I liked him but we need a standout leader.)
Well said. I despair at the limp-wristed types championing Mitchell as a future leader of the Nat’s. The nation does not need or want another middle of the road Key/English/Bridges type moderate who leans far too much to the left.
I don’t know who said it but in NZ the modern Nat’s main argument or USP is that they promise to be better at managing the decline of NZ than the left.
I hate the Greens and Labour yet even I will admit that when they are in power they don’t miss the chance to do things for their supporters, they do it in a positive and non-apologetic manner. Compare this to the last National government who used to say they would give tax cuts then back down as soon as the left wing media kicked up a fuss. The Nat’s need to stop fucking apologising for being of the right.
National are to the right of Liabour, but that’s still left of centre. They have lost their sense of what’s right or wrong. It’s all about getting the most votes from the centre/left.
…..”It’s all about getting the most votes from the centre/left”…..
That’s because the centre left is the abode of the swinging voter. NZ has swung to the Left & National either follow or remain irrelevant.
So National put up their antennae & immediately click that a move to the hard, social right to mop up the Godnutters vote while mumbling softly about tax & freedom of speech would be a master stroke.
They are pathetic! Truly fucking pathetic.
I agreed fully BB until the last sentence.
No uptick for you, lad!
It is interesting that National/Labour lite are associated with tax cuts but they have not given one this century.
In 2010 they did a tax swap with raising GST and reducing and cleaning up personal income rates and bands.
They never even bothered to index rates/tax bands in their nine years of neglect in order to offset fiscal drag.
So now they are snowflakes on a mountain in a far off wilderness with a soy boy in charge they say they will do it next time.
But they also said they will reform their own 1991 RMA but never did in 9 years of rip van winkle.
They did pay a shitload out to the Maoris. They also said that would be all settled by 2013.
Another lie.
I often wonder if Labour lite has ever told the truth.
At least Klarkenfuhrer had a pledge card of points in 1999 that she followed through on.
So Layabout light ethics are well short of Helen Klark.
Think about that!
It is odd how National/Labour lite get this completely wrong branding:-
They are associated with tax reductions but don’t do them.
It was Labour 1984 to circa 1988 that did this and cleaned out the 17 or so tax bands down to 4 or so bands. Under National/L.L it was 66% top rate and you got there quickly.
National sometimes get called Tories but are nothing of the sort.
They swan around ultimately doing Sweet FA but when they do something it usually a gigantic cock up e.g. under Bolger they stuffed up the power industry and the building materials industry which lead to leaky homes and cost as much money and grief as the Christchurch earthquakes spread over the whole country and over more years.
They complete neutered the Auckland Regional Council (ARC) in 1991 which meant no regional oversight for Auckland and then in 2010 rushed through the disastrous Auckland Council merger.
I still party voted for the pricks in 2011/14/17 with great disdain.
Never again.
It is like having unprotected sex with a diseased hooker to vote for that sick, lying mob.
Either way you get fked and end up with bad outcomes.
They’ve been taken over by the Catholic mafia & as such are now a party of social conservatism. Principles involving free enterprise, economic freedom & self determination have been ditched.
Vote National…..get the Pope for free!
I see spell check changed Labour lite to ‘Layabout light’
Not much of a change when you think about it 🙂
Thanks for you comment nasska
I noted about 5 years ago that there were 6 MPs just from St Bedes ChCh in parliament
Brownlee, Punch n Grow Cosgrove, Bowtie Dunne, David Carter, Matthew Doocey, and Damien O’Connor.

Cricket – leadership failure Williamson
Kane Williamson is a perfect example of why being a great player does not equate to being a great leader.
I was in physical agony through the first few overs of the cricket last night. I felt physical pain as poor Guptill when through ball by ball death of his confidence, every time he waved the bat pathetically at every passing Bumrah delivery I cringed.
Why on earth would you continue to put a guy through that. It must be obvious that Guptill is woefully out of form and that just adding pressure is making it worse and worse for the poor bastard. Sure, Guptill wants to keep his spot on the team. He doesn’t want to be replaced. But letting a guy fail and fail and fail, when his confidence is so obviously rock bottom is terrible leadership. If the aim is to destroy Martin Guptill has a batting force – then this is how you do it.
Real leadership would be to step up and be a real leader and put the good of the team and the individual first and make the hard call to replace Guptill so that he can take the time needed to rebuild his game and regain his confidence.
Sure on his day Guptill is magnificent. But surely no one expected Guptill to go out against the best bowler in the world and survive last night. If there’d been odds offered on Guptill’s innings last night I’m certain that the TAB wouldn’t have been taking any bets of the “fail” option for him.
I think Capt Kane is mistaking:
– loyalty for leadership, and
– blind faith for strategy.
Kane is a soyboy, he’s not leadership material. There is no mongrel to him. Kohli is a leader, he is demanding of his team when they screw up and effusively praiseful when they succeed. He drops players when he think it suits the team or when they fail to peform, he makes decisions based on winning not on his feelings.
I still hope that between the Black Caps themselves and the weather, that they can pull off a win against India. But I do hope Kane Williamson puts aside his inner Jack Tame and leaves Guptill out in the final against Australia – you can’t afford to play Australia starting with a guaranteed one wicket down.
He let the Aussies off the hook when he had them on the ropes at 82/5, let’s hope he doesn’t give them a one batter head start if they make it to the final.
(And btw Kane, that beard is bad, it doesn’t make you look more manly, it’s just urgh!)
His inner Jack Tame bloody hell DP a great rant but no need to be quite that cruel
So the Tamaki’s have the 500 required to form their party this should keep Nasska busy
They are going to recieve some hate from the media!
Don’t we all
esp if:
You are white; have a job; pay taxes, haven’t been to prison; sexually straight; are not a bludger and liar; and so on.
If the media filth say something nice about you it is probably not a club you want to belong to.

“Surrounded by his village”
Yeah well if that is Rotorua then I don’t like the kids chances as most of the village will be takeaways and second hand shops inhabited by people on welfare.

Because he never came out and told the Framers he did not agree with the Capital Gain Tax before Ardern cancelled it.
Shane Jones might have to employ Logging Contractor’s to plant his tree seedlings after our logging prices in China just fell over.

Another one of Winston’s brainwaves to get Rail up and running for logging might have to wait.
The logs go to Napier port for export. Much bigger than gisborne.
About Eastland Port
Located right in the heart of Gisborne city, Eastland Port is New Zealand’s second largest log exporter and the most easterly commercial shipping port in New Zealand. We’re proud to be the country’s most efficient logging port.
Our local forestry industry continues to grow, providing opportunity and employment for our entire region. Log export volumes are booming. We can handle 3 million tonnes of wood per year but we need to handle more than 5 million tonnes. We’re getting ready with our twin berth planned development.
Great to hear chuck featuring on promo with Plunket.
You might have to elaborate i stopped listening to talkback years ago for my sanity & blood pressure
Chuck had a great argument with Plunket and they are using it as a promo.
I think you should give Sean Plunket a listen. He’s on Magic Talk afternoons. Either find it on you old fashioned wireless thingy or download the Rova app for your phone.
Plunket sounds like he should be a contributor to this blog. He’s a voice of sanity and a delight to listen to.
Actually, the other daytime shows on Magic Talk are really good too…. but Plunket is the king.
Do you have a link to the audio?
639 people with criminal records in Australia were granted firearm licences in New Zealand.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/394020/nz-firearms-licences-granted-to-639-people-with-criminal-convictions-in-australia
I thought you were thoroughly checked before you were able to obtain a firearm licence.
What?
Who grants these licences?
Don’t need them liecences if you are in a gang and you get to keep your guns!
Need you ask? Whose responsibility is it? Well there’s Nash and before that oh Collins and Luxton and well I looked and I looked but Google seems to have forgotten the ones I can’t remember. ??????? Strange.
Licensed firearms holders, being threatened 5 years jail, as an example by Nash, and so you would have your guns seized, or lost in the system, firearms licence suspended, put on a suspect list, and more than likely a massive fine .
And that gun and ammo reported stolen.
So what sentence should he have got?
Minimum of 5 years for the assault, ten for the firearms theft. Consecutively.
Didn’t Ardern introduce legislation to remove the thorough checks? It’s now all done online, no need for the police to eyeball you anymore, etc.? I haven’t gone through the process yet though.
Former prime minister Jim Bolger retires from Waikato University council

“He retired at the end of June, after 12 years as chancellor, leading the council which oversees the university’s operations”.
Do not pass go and do not collect $200.
Just piss off somewhere quiet and let this be the last the public has to endure of you and your limp wristed shit which you have become renown for.
Look at the quality of that UNI now. Full of Bolgeresk Maori bullshit.
Few nat. lifies are much good at anything else.
Bolger has to be the most embarrassing leader the National Party has ever had. A pompous Oaf who thought of himself grander things than were warranted.
Agree. He used to mimic accents from overseas dignitaries and make a right dick of himself.

Northland man who beat tourist unconscious on ‘dream holiday’ gets home detention
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12248196
“A 19-year-old Northland man who dragged a Dutch tourist from a campervan and beat him unconscious and attacked his American girlfriend has been given nine months’ home detention.
In a pre sentence report the probation officer said that Tierney had a great attitude and a good job”.
So he has a great attitude to what?, gratuitous violence maybe!.
So 21 months in jail for sharing the Christchurch mosque video but 9 months home detention for beating two people senseless.
The little faith I had in the justice system is now completely evaporated after the ridiculous disparity in some of the sentences of late depending on whether your crime was “politically unpopular” or not.
Yeah but the judge in Christchurch has a lifetime supply of selfies from the liar.
The police should appeal the decision.
We can’t sell our logs to China due to price.
Well that’s what you get when you keep putting the minimum wage up.
You price yourself off the market.
Just how people expect that we deserve high wages when they only get $4 an hour in China, making useful stuff like cars, and phones and clothes, and tvs.
Also China is known as being rich!
I like the bit were they are using the train to backload logs from europe!
Make a train track and they will come!
Just not here, not enough volume!
Yes and I am sick of idiots saying “Why cant we process the logs into fin dished products” rather than sell them logs.
They have wanted to do that for the last 70 years.
But there are not many finished goods made with pine, we don’t even make our own furniture now, so how can we sell it to China?
An evening to learn more about Climate Crisis and what we
can do here in Kirikiriroa. Featuring a panel discussion with experts from the University of Waikato.
What: Climate Change – the Facts screening and Q&A panel
When: Thursday 11th July 7.00pm – 8.30pm
Where: University of Waikato S Block (S.1.04)
Are there any climate change sceptics prepared to join me to challenge these clowns who claim to be scientists?
Science is undemocratic. Theories are not decided by a vote.
One of these experts is a political scientist specialising in public policy, comparative politics and women’s studies.
Im a bit far south to join in Chuck plus i don’t understand what this is “public policy, comparative politics and women’s studies”or what those apparent qualifications have to do with climate change
I think that’s the point. There are very few experts in the Waikato or NZ that can actually tell you the truth about the climate. They ring in who ever is the closest to what message they want to get out on the day. All bullshit and it would achieve nothing by attending and trying to have a decent debate. Lefties are not known for wanting the facts pointed out to them.
Who cares about a decent debate? The idea would be to challenge their bullshit. I only need a hand full of supporters.
In other words a big fat bullying tart or a bearded skinny shell of a male.

Good to see the country have told the Cunts to take their gun laws and fuck themselves with them…
“The public survey shows that only seven per cent of gun owners are ready to surrender their property. Thousands of Kiwis see through the smoke-screen and want to contribute financially to prevent the men and women who represent New Zealanders misrepresenting us and lauding over the law-abiders whilst doing what to criminals and crime rates.”

Interesting point. They generally lack a Y chromosome & strangely enough those nasty pointy things that go bang are the one mechanism yet designed that makes them the equal of a physically larger assailant. They also trust the state to remain armed.
My best diagnoses are madness, domination fantasies or gross gullibility.
The Ministers spokesperson as reported seems economical with the reality of how the first round of “consultation “ was handled. My understanding is it was an indecent rush with process and detail ignored.
I see the opposition appears to be asking questions around detail. Well past time that happened. They were not doing their job first time around and I felt badly let down. I will remain wary until I see them standing up better for Licensed Firearm Owners who did not cause any of the issues used as a basis to seize weapons legally owned.
