“It is incredible that after the programme Labour wilfully attacked the whistleblowers, falsely accusing them of making deliberate, malicious representations, and misleading the public, while also calling them disaffected former officials whose credibility as sources was in doubt.”

Don’t say anything against the group. So fun watching the Left eat themselves.

So the average is starting to look like around $19,000 per gun.

You betcha they would have filmed you entering the gates in your car. Photo of you, car, number plate. I bet all have an esay to control enterance way. Betcha you are on film before they take copies of your ID. Once ID you can expect a visit by armed police to check what else you have got.

“That they would not let anyone take their gun away” from the buy back place if they did not like the offer.”

One would hope that any pig committing this action was immediately charged with, and prosecuted for, theft.

It is perfectly legal to own and possess these guns until the end of the amnesty period.

On the reverse side any owner turning up expecting a fair and honest price is certainly far too brain-dead to be outside without a minder let alone also armed.

As I predicted the other day. Off to get a lotto ticket now!

Were the media allowed there? To whose benefit was that or not?

Gang members are not eligible for compensation since, generally, they do not have firearms licences.

missed by one.

In the 90s a late friend told me the UN plan for New Zealand was that we were going to be a tree growing nation.

I could never track down any source for that quote but it sure seems to be prophetic.

It’s 100% bullshit from our worst enemies the UN and greens.

Idiocracy (2006)
I watched it at the time and thought OK, good enough
Then the quality of movies plunged in 2010 (from a low point of the prior decade) so I watched it again in 2012 after 4 years of the half-caste homo from Hawaii.
It hit home how much we had moved closer to it.

The movie is set 500 years into the future but I suspect reality does not have to wait as long as that.
It had some clever bits but the script could have sharper.
One theme in it; from wiki:-
“President Camacho gives Joe the impossible job of fixing the nation’s food shortages, Dust Bowls, and crippled economy within a week.
Joe discovers that the nation’s crops are irrigated with a sports drink named “Brawndo”, whose parent corporation had purchased the FDA, FCC, and USDA.
When Joe has the drink replaced with water, Brawndo’s stock drops to zero, and half of the population lose their jobs, causing mass riots.”

Are we really that far from this madness when people protest for more genders and the cops arrest people for not calling a trannie by a preferred gender;
or
Tasmania says hey kids, you can pick your own gender, or not even have one, your call.
or
Smokefree 2025 but hey we could legalise dope smoking
or
Hey lets kill off productive farms with trees, some plantation but turn others back to native bush coz, well, globby warming.

It won’t be 500 years. We’re knocking on the door today.

Update.
Cindy bin Lying is going to Melbourne this week, to give a speak on “good governance”!
What’s the chances she is taking the Airforce plane do you think?
Will she take it from the Cooks to Melbourne direct?

once there are enough of these ev’s then you will see the taxes going on them. Never known a government not to pass up the chance to add a tax.

One thing that always annoys me somewhat about Americans commenting on other countries gun laws, especially NZ and Australia’s, is their failure to understand that the concept of using guns for self defence is alien and against the law for us (as utterly mad as that is) and that any New Zealander or Australian who does use a firearm for self defence, except in the most dire circumstances, is highly likely to have their firearms licence withdrawn and be in more trouble than their scumbag attacker.

Coming to a favela near you…
The government needs to “crack” down on all these homeless people.
Why are they homeless?
Have they got a job?
How many children do they have and how many fathers and why, and where are the fathers.
How come our new immigrants can get jobs and don’t seem to feature in crime and homelessness?

I personally think motels should have to declare on their booking site if they allow welfare referrals to live at their property.
People stay at motels expecting the environment to be normal of a “traveller” environment but instead find it is more like a lowend residential block of flats with kids running riot around the place,people sitting around in the carpark smoking and drinking all day and just a generally gross atmosphere.
This is not what travelling people staying their paid for or deserve.
WINZ referrals or travellers,but to take both without informing people so they get to make an informed choice is greedy and a really shit way to treat genuine customers.
I have been caught by this same situation once in Hamilton myself, but never again as it was a thoroughly disgusting experience.
I always email the place before booking now and directly ask them if the take WINZ people.

Oh, I agree with every word he said. If only I could understand the irshman!

I suspect those that this Coalition of clowns are victimising – Landlords/Farmers/Small Business Owners/Tradies with Utes may produce fewer votes for this bunch of clowns than in the past.

yes great.
Change it back to Cyps and sack all Maori employees, and stop helping, assisting Maori families.
Let them pay for their own Organg Taramaki with the taxes they pay.
Oh – they don’t pay much so let them iwi pay for any services they wish to provide.

In the meantime I dont care about their families and children as they don’t.
If they want to be like third world people let them.
But even third world peoples don’t bash their children.

It is already essentially a Maori department, but again I say, how does not putting the father’s name on the birth certificate enhance whakapapa and even for that matter who might be eligible for treaty money from various iwi?

Fascinated that these people who hate the white system are more than happy to receive a Dame. hood or the such equivalencies. I wonder why they do this, when the system they abhor is the one that dishes out these awards? Just asking. Maybe Oranga Tamariki will stop when they stop killing their babies??? There are some beautiful Maori people out there who are wonderful parents, they however seem to have no influence at all in these matters

You people are a complete joke as you carry on with this charade that you so value fuckapapa and farnow yet your kids keep dying at a rate way higher than any other ethnic group in NZ.
You mean probably in any other ethic group in the world.
Maori are so special!

“Māori need to stop working for government agencies, and operating within western structures that don’t prioritise the importance of whakapapa and whanau”. Whatever. They like western money, alright.

The CoL may feel a bit torn, as we are in the opposite camp, being against Venezuela. ?
Some of those countries have had much experience in reprogramming, re-educating and retraining their citizens.
————-
How can it be a problem? when so many islamic countries seem to approve the re-education and retraining of Muslims.
Perhaps the Uighur’s misunderstood Mohammad? or read the wrong koran? or are not reverential enough? // ?

These signatories are from the “Organisation of Islamic Cooperation” OIC .
Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, Algeria, Oman, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, Turkmenistan, Kuwait, Somalia, Syria, Eritrea, Tajikistan, Burkina Faso, Comoros, Gabon, Nigeria, Cameroon.
It would appear that many of the OIC approve of the re-education program, to prevent jihad struggles? // 🙂 or biding their time like advised with a “hudna”, for now.

Gosh such esteemed countries with a wonderful record on human rights too, go Winnie great your putting us up there with third world countries. I hate this col.

The list of countries not condemming the Chinese actions is interesting. Many muslim countries there.

Me personally , I am disappointed that the Chinese are trying to re-educate the Uighurs.
A better move is to assist them to leave like Myanmar did.

NZ abandoned our gun registry because it was riddled with errors and neither prevented or solved a single crime. Canada wasted 2 billion dollars on their registry, which they established in 1995 against the advice of New Zealand which they specifically asked for, because it neither prevented or solved a single crime and was riddled with errors (amazing eh?!).
If we now embark on another costly attempt at introducing a registry Stuart Nash will still have no idea how many guns are out there because so many people will refuse to register their guns. The only semi autos the government can be reasonably sure of getting back in this present round of confiscations are those their law abiding owners dutifully registered as “E” category. Well Mr, Nash fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

“but without a registry, he said they had no idea how many guns were out there.”

This is absolute nonsense or a downright lie. Every gun that comes into the country is subject to a “Permit to Import” which lists make, model and serial number, that is the only registry needed. Since the number of guns actually made in NZ is very small indeed and the number smuggled into the country is not likely to be huge the number of firearms imported very closely equates to the number of guns “out there.”
Does Nash expect us to believe that Customs has lost or destroyed the records of all those guns imported?

Right, so you think a guy who won’t own up to paternity of his own son is a good guy.

Banks is a Christian who thinks the world was ‘created’ 6000 years ago in 6 days by a sky fairy who then sat down for a cup of god-tea and siesta on the seventh day.
There were no dinosaurs or evolution. There was no Big Bang only creationism. Darwin was wrong.

A good Christian who procured abortion chemicals when abortion was totally illegal and gave them to his pregnant, sometime girlfriend.
This would fit for the son of an illegal abortionist.

The woman refused to take the concoction and had the child.
Banks was on his way to being wealthy but allowed another man to unknowingly pay child support for his own child for 15 years.
When the court ruled that Banks is the legitimate father, Banks ignored the court and has been unresponsive to the court in all aspects.

This man who ignores the ruling of a court is the person you want to make rules for Auckland.
We are desperate but not that desperate.

Banks has a history of wanting others to follow the rules but not himself.
He would not park his Ferrari in the mayoral carpark while Mayor of Auckland and parked it on the street in a metered spot but would not pay for that. This reduced council revenue while his allocated carpark sat empty.
He used his cellphone on a domestic flight while Minister of Police.
For years while at school he collected the empties from the after 6pm grog houses and cashed them in. John Banks benefited from crime.

He was Director of Huljich Wealth Management that was cooking the books and should have faced court as much as Doug Graham and Bill Jeffries did.

I don’t want to see Auckland sail any faster down the river in a cabbage boat (his language) with this man at the helm.
Our options are grim. John Archibald Banks does not make it any less grim.

Your last paragraph is very well said.

Did you ever watch “an Innocent Man ” Starring Tom Selleck? Great movie, on this very issue. All I hope is this cop gets sent in with the general prison population. He won’t last 100 years…. It’s a bit like false Rape allegations, the victims seldom ever recover completely.

It’s been in the works for years and the latest legislation kicked in in 2017. No one pays any mind until it starts to hit them in the pocket.

ISIS arseholes.
Poor helpless girls.

Rachael
Where do I find the movie ? Our son recommended it ( he is in Aussie). We tried Netflix but could not find it or have we missed it.

I thought there was already a company doing this
Free or Flight plastics?

Wimbledon tennis finals 2019.

Women’s 56 Minutes 6-2; 6-2.
Men’s final just shy of 5 hours, 5 sets, a cliff hanger all the way.

Same pay.

Can we get ACC for this kind of trauma and residence visas for family overseas to come here and help us deal with it?

Would a male PM be allowed to be traumatized over a game of cricket?

What’s she doing in Coromandel?

Traumatised? Over a fucking sports fixture? I didn’t watch the game, and it sounds like stupid rules fucked up a great game between two top sides, but “traumatised”??? In that case, I am traumatised over the gun buyback, the fact that Peters is Deputy PM and a whole host of perceived injustices…. Moronic reporting at best, mentally unfit to be PM at worst.

Probably. But no more than we were lol.

You’re doomed if you rely on Stuffed for news anyway.
Who gives a rotund rodent’s rear end who they appoint?

might bring some better commentary. He helped set up the NZ Initiative so that a start in the right direction. (pun Intended).

Redbaiter would have denounced them as homosexual, Marxist progs! 🙂

Time for Broomstick 2?

That’s a little different from your usual offering nasska. ?

But there was no mention of the whanau, so it might be a kiwi doing it.
Will Oranga Tamarkee investigate or do they only look at Maori abuse.

The sooner its changed back to Child Welfare Department the better.

Didn’t Prince Chuck-Up recently say we only 18 months to solve the climate crisis?
