2 ticks blue for you?
nope.1st tick ACT, 2nd Nat. Luxon’s a dickhead.
Morning Hunty – off to Christchurch, only trouble at this hour that heading towards the sun, same as when coming home in the evening. Perhaps it will stay a bit cloudy for a few hours. And as it is 2 in the morning in W.A. – Good Morning S.B.
good morning HP, slept an hour longer today, slowly adjusting.
ive got school today, thought i was done with that shit but meh at least i get paid for it nowdays.
Health& Safety & first aid is it?
header school
Wtf header school ?
its just as boring as normal school. ⅔ isnt even applicable to anyone not running 2026 new machinery or software.
id rather be back spraying, the bbq best be half decent to save the day.
With the dumbing down of education that gave us a Bachelor of Women’s Studies & degrees in theology it had to happen sooner or later. Expect doctorates in electric fencing & masters of manure spreading in the near future.
He already has the latter of the two.
Are you going to be unbearable after they mess with your head.
nah, im pretty sure i woulve been alot better in my younger years at school had they also been paying me a good hourly wage to attend.
plus header school has a bbq and some beers at the end of the day so thats a bonus.
Morning, sun is about to rise and it’s not raining. No hurricane either so it might be a nice day for a change.
Ideal day to go sailing!
Oh my word. Chippy’s day didn’t get off to a good start. Hosking just eviscerated him.
https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/audio/chris-hipkins-labour-leader-on-their-policy-costings-in-the-wake-of-prefu-adrian-rurawhes-death/
That was like shooting fish in a barrel… Shit he is useless, even admitted he had not read the prefu,,, FFS
and we thought arderns govt was a fucking circus, hipkins and chloe say hold my beer.
even a circus wouldnt employ the clowns so god knows what shit show we’re gunna end up with.
What an angry lying little defensive Weasel is Hipkins. Must have taken lessons from Andrew Little. Hosking had him knackered.
Got a bit aggressive didn’t he, the little shit. Really dropped his guard there. The mask came off and we got a glimpse of the horrible person he really is.
Should Hipkins have to lead a Coalition of 4 and things get sticky, won’t he show his true colours then.
Colour me surprised the IWI want to demolish The Chateau.
Vandals.
And DOC will go along with this and agree, betcha.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/chateau-tongariro-iwi-prefer-demolition-over-new-commercial-lease-briefing-says/3GKEZWPTRVC5DBTPQRGJNVBU7M/
The Chateau requires a ton of money to bring it back up to standard. Do tourists want to stay in such a 1950s-styled building? (Some will.) Could the Chateau in its present form be commercially viable?
Do the iwi just want a vacant lot and the opportunity to clip parking tickets?
I personally know a Gentleman who is willing to throw $100 Million (and has the cash to do so) at the Chateau to restore it and bring it up to a 5 Star Hotel. This is his business and offering Heritage Hotel Accommodation has been something he has worked at for many years in this country.
This Gentleman, has been in negotiation with Potaka and DOC for ages, has a signed letter from all the concerned IWI that he has their Agreement to Lease it for 100 years, pay the IWI their Lease Agreement Funds in advance, but despite all this it is DOC and Potaka who are the stumbling block.
You should hear the opinion of the Ruapehu District Council Mayor, Weston Kirton on the matter who has worked very hard on getting the Chateau back into action, he just pulls his hair out dealing with DOC and Potaka, but is too polite to say so publicaly.
what colour is suprised? im guessing its not brown
One Million per year? To keep vandals out!
What’s the chances it’s a Maori security company, doing the gaurding.
FS what is it about the nazis in NZ and helicopters. These guys only took the legal limit, but didn’t have a commercial license, and they lose 2 choppers worth $1M each. Meanwhile the usual suspects are raping and pillaging over quota and undersize and get slap on hand.
The Helicopter Line ordered to forfeit two $1m helicopters over crayfish offending – NZ Herald
If you want a really good read, I recommend Mark Law – Lucky You’re Tough. I’m halfway through. He got into trouble over the White Island cluster.
i listened to a podcast he done with between two beers. unreal what the fuckers put him through.
heres the white island part, fucking nazi cunts https://youtu.be/O-EyN16vqHc?si=gogT-k_ruGByHFdG
but yeah the crayfish guys shouldve known better but losing the 2 choppers is very OTT.
if it was hemi and his mates opperating a black market ring taking thousands of undersized all they wouldve lost would be a crusty old hi ace van and some swimming goggles. hardly a fine cuz hemi couldnt pay it.
The issue is that people were paying to have someone catch them crayfish. That’s seemed commercial and not recreational. Can you imagine the overseas revenue from tourists for having something like this as a day trip?
Great for the economy and great for the tourists memories.
It would be great to have had a special quota just for situations like this, but I don’t think there is any commercial fishing in a big chunk of the fjords and someone would object anyway.
I’d be interested to understand the definition of catching. Could the diver, have, for example, caught the crayfish and released them into a netted-off area of the water, then had the tourists “catch” them from there?
When is a crayfish officially “caught”, in this instance?
Presumably even in this situation, the tourists still wouldn’t be able to sell their catch.
once its landed its deemed caught i think, be some grey areas tho as i guess theres a bit of leeway to measure etc and return undersized/excess.
all they needed to do was purchase/lease a small quota allocation. although they would then probably have to do so outside of the fiords where the sea is a bit more temperamental to allow shore gathering.
i bet theres a few charter boats shitting pants and deleting content, unless as ive seen plenty on youtube with paying customers doing pretty much the same thing.
Seems way over the top to me. Agree with your comments on the usual suspects. It’s not just the UK that has a two tier legal system.
Well I hope the Dutch and the EU don’t want to ask New Zealand for help to say their sorry, ungrateful arses when WW3 erupts. They can fuck right off and I hope the Government finds some Balls pronto and tells both the Dutch and EU where to stick their meddling.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/politics/1655918/nz-accused-of-breaking-climate-change-promise-with-eu-but-todd-mcclay-rejects-claim
The usual New Zealand meddling traitors:—-
…. New Zealand organisations cannot themselves file a complaint, but a number of groups and individuals have added their support as co-sponsors,
including Greenpeace, Ngāti Pukenga, Ora Taiao, Environmental Law Initiative, Mike Smith and Professor Jane Kelsey. …..
…… Most recently, the [NZ] Greens wrote to the European Commissioner responsible for trade and economic security, asking the EU to assess whether New Zealand was failing its obligations …..
…… the deal was struck in 2022, then Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern described it as containing “ground-breaking commitments on environment, labour rights and gender equality as foundational parts of a trade and sustainable development chapter”.
In so many ways our Parliamentary representatives are fabians, “eh comrade” have sold our sovereignty away & deviously, in many forms of “mission creep” whether with John Key & UNDRIP that brings on compliance in the actions to be complied with, in the He Puapua report.
Winston Peters saying it was not binding, still sold out NZ with signing up to the UN Global Migration Pact, that is being reframed to be complied with in an India trade deal, along with further UNDRIP compliance..
Also the set up of to send NZ military; is that NZ already holds a formal partner status NATO.
https://www.nato.int/en/what-we-do/partnerships-and-cooperation/relations-with-new-zealand
All set up to ride rough shod over New Zealand citizens to bring about their compliance.
I’ll bet the environmental group is funded by people wanting to reduce competition from NZ products.
If any consequences arise, the answer is simple – hit them with massive tariffs and set up expensive inspection (for them), regimes on their food products to “reduce risks to our agricultural and horticultural sectors.”
That might work in a huge importing country like the USA. They import 7 trillion dollars worth of goods annually. Imagine the tariffs Trump is collecting. At 10 % thats 700 billion. China, the biggest exporter to the USA pays a much bigger tariff than 10%. So that figure might be in the low trillions.
Poor little NZ is an exporting country, so the chances of us getting those countries we export to to pay any tariff are very small.
To win elections the message is best delivered in ‘pictures and soundbites”.

Still lack the courage to do the right things.

No word yet if the pieces have been given bail yet, I’m guessing if it’s white bits left over, no bail, and brown or there about, it’ll be out in 5 mins.
Sorry for the bad taste humour, but….. no, I’m not sorry.
Probably just some poor misunderstood Abdul who was baking a cake to share with his Jewish mates when the gas cooker exploded.
A large tree trunk has been uncovered beneath a glacier in the Alps, dated to around 6,000 years ago.
The species is Swiss stone pine.
Today, trees of that type cannot grow at that altitude because it is far too cold.
This means that when that tree was alive, the climate there had to be warmer than today.
6,000 years ago aligns with the Holocene climate optimum, a time when temperatures were far higher than now, even with far less atmospheric CO2.
Earth’s climate is cyclical and Mother Nature self-regulates.
Narratives of doom serve political aims, not reality.
More importantly, the Swiss were here 6,000 year ago.
“If you keep paying the co2 levies, the weather will be gooder”.

Has anyone paid?
No, it hasn’t been put out for that. It was just a bit of a play to see what it could do. Try it; you might be good at composing a song.had almost forgotten about it been so busy.
Well AI did.

President Trump unveiled America.gov at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium on Tuesday — an AI-powered front door to the federal government. Breitbart reports it features a search bar that points users straight to the service they need.
Trump described the old system in blunt terms: “𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘻𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘣𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘴… 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.”
U.S. Chief Design Officer Joe Gebbia, the Airbnb co-founder behind TrumpRx.gov and TrumpAccounts.gov, put it in numbers: “29,000 𝘸𝘦𝘣𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘯𝘦.” He said the site will handle everything from 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 to checking student loans and changing your address with the Postal Service.
Then came the part every married couple will feel. Today the AI walks you through the steps to change your name across agencies. In 2027, Gebbia said, you’ll be able to 𝐮𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞, 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬.

John Key just keeps digging – makes absurd claims to stop people from strategic voting – including “It would be unfair to Labour” and National callers weren’t having a bar of it.
Key on with Kere this morning took his pitch to attempt to save Nicola Willis / Bishop and Goldsmith to ridiculous levels.
Firstly Kere said this overhang thing was too much for her brain to compute – not surprised and warned against the strategy, and then John Key doubled down “Kiwis aren’t interested in this, it’s too much detail, it’s too confusing! they won’t get the message!”
John – it’s not 2008 anymore. More and more of the political discourse these days occur on social media. You can mobilise messaging in hours – to large amounts of people.
He then offered another excuse not to vote for an overhang – wait for it –
“it’s not moral, it’s unfair!” Hello John Key, mr cup of tea with John Banks.
“It’s not right for Winston to go with the major party with less votes, even if it meant forming govt !” , I mean is he actually saying that he wants WP to go with Labour, if they beat (and they likely will) National on the party vote?
Key “ Winston just wants the overhang as hell get more MPs into government” — And?
Want more of his obscenely dumb reasoning? Oh yeah here goes:
“Christopher Luxon is actually the most popular Conservative (🤣) leader in the world, I mean everyone’s unpopular atm, people are just grumpy (and dumb apparently).
Call after call, Txt after Txt from ANGRY National voters, unanimously said “John you are wrong …. we will split our vote to keep the lunatics at bay, now butt out”
John is as irrelevant as Helen these days. They should slope off into the dustbin of history and stop the patronising.
This is the Streisand effect in real time .Quite the listen.
Maybe there is some hope then that Notional voters have got the message.
John Key, is the globalist who led National so far left that they became known as “Labour-Lite”
So when he’s saying that splitting your vote to include Act&NZF is “unfair to Labour“, you know that they’re softening you up to a Nat/Lab coalition govt.
We would become like Singapore which although technically a right wing democracy is about the most totalitarian society tolerated by any people anywhere outside of the PRC. Since 1959 the People’s Action Party has consistently securing a supermajority of seats and formed the government in every successive general election.
NatLab would straddle whatever is left of the political divide. They would prove impossible to oust via the polling booth.
