  1. Good morning, the sun is shining well …… not yet but the sky is blue, Once we would have rejoiced at the summer on its way holidays to look forward to Christmas and New Year, all that. Will our grandchildren even know those times existed? Once upon a time we could go where we liked when we liked with no restrictions within our own country maybe a few off shore. Yes we were frightened of the Russians and Communists who were also frightened of us, but they were a long way away and mostly we didn’t think of it as a real daily threat. We are the sadly now the generation of the Once upon a time, it seems.
    F J A and everyone of the 120 who is a member of parliament and all those corrupt individuals who advise any of them and carry out their plans for a communistic socialistic fucked country. .

  2. One would think, at a time when staffing is already problematic in healthcare settings, that the last thing we need to do is fire good people. 🤯

    But that’s exactly what has happened.

    Some might say those stood down are crazy – weirdos, or people who have been somehow lead astray…🥴

    Others might suggest that these people have good reason to decline an experimental injection and just maybe their clinical or personal observation and experience has contributed to their decision. 🧐

    “More than 1300 district health board staff have been stood down because they were not vaccinated by Monday.”

    Amongst this collective are 25 Senior Medical Officers. These are either consultants, specialists, or Heads of Departments. 🏆

    Do we really think they are misguided, tinfoil hat wearing nutters?

    We think not.

    At least 463 nurses were identified in the article as having been lost. One has to wonder what they’ve seen to make them choose to leave their careers…

    Either way, the Government is playing down the fact that these losses will negatively affect patient care across a range of critical services.

    Round of applause!

    Covid & the“vaccines”
    The tool of choice for the wanna-be little pocket Hitler / dictator of today

    This was posted to the New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern’s page
    by a person named Jo Wright :

    Of all the vaccines I have taken in my life like Tetanus shots, measles, mumps, polio, meningitis, TB shots, etc…
    Never have I heard so many lies and deceptions over a vaccine that says I have to wear a mask and socially distance even when fully vaccinated, and that I could still contract or spread the virus even after being fully vaccinated.

    Never had to get tested when I was perfectly healthy without any symptoms whatsoever.
    Never been bribed by the establishments to take the vaccine in order to win a holiday and/or cash prizes or earn frequent flyer points.
    I never had to worry about cardiac issues, neurological disorders, blood clots and sadly more! Didn’t even have to worry about death.

    Never was I ever THREATENED by the use of FORCE by the Government, Employers, Police force, and Military for a vaccine as seen overseas.
    I was never judged by my friends or relatives if I didn’t take it. I was never discriminated against for travel or other regular services to a point where I could not buy or sell without it.
    The vaccines I have listed above never told me I was a bad person for not taking them or for even taking them for that matter.
    I have never seen a vaccine that threatened the relationship between my family members and/or close friends to a point of destroying my relationships with them ever.

    Never have I seen it used for political gain.
    Never seen a vaccine needing 24/7 mass media advertising and promotion on every media outlet known to man.

    Then there’s mixing and matching different vaccine brands and being told it’s okay to do it one day and then told the next day to not do it (overseas)
    .
    I have never seen a vaccine threaten someone’s livelihood, as well as wipe out their jobs.

    I have never seen a vaccine that allows a 12-year-old child’s consent to supersede their parent’s consent (that one alone blows me away).

    Finally, after all the vaccines (jab, shots) I listed above, I have never seen a vaccine like this one that discriminates, divides, and judges a society. So much information is censored, deleted, and removed from the internet and mainstream media!

    So many doctors, health care professionals, police and scientists are censored and forbidden to speak out or ask legitimate questions when what is being allowed or not allowed does not make sense!

    Particularly when it comes from mainstream media. I have never known a vaccine that has made all the Pharmaceutical companies that manufacture it exempt from liability if it kills everyone to a point where no life insurance will cover it!

    This is one powerful vaccine guys! It does all these things above that I have mentioned and yet? It does NOT do the one thing it is supposed to do which is?

    • In some respect comparing Jacinda to Hitler is really not on. Hitler, for all his foibles pulled Germany out of a depression and created a superpower with a formibble army, and industrial might. Their technology was cutting edge for the time, unemployment was virtually non existent, and their infrastructure was world class. Sure he had a few issues around world domination, and a misguided concept of racial superiority, and as he addled his brain with grugs he became more and more incoherent and incompetent. Compare his achievements from 1933 to 1939 with Arderne from 2017 to now. Jacinda, has all the negative traits of Hitler, and none of the positive. ( And this is not an Ode to Hitler, he was despicable in the final anlysys, a bit like Jacinda)

  4. Meanwhile the clown in charge, (well not a clown really actually a fucking imbecile), says this.
    ‘It might spike in multiple places’ – Andrew Little on the challenges of nationwide Covid
    Up to 16,000 Covid cases a week around the country, most of them staying at home rather than managed isolation, and around 800 people in need of hospital care.

    That’s what the Covid situation and response might eventually look like – though these numbers are a worst-case scenario – as the country prepares to move to the traffic light system in two weeks, with travel in and out of Delta-hit Auckland to follow two weeks later.

    Delta is now expected to spread all around the country – it’s only a matter of time – with the consequences falling disproportionately on disadvantaged communities and the unvaccinated.
    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/covid-19-delta-outbreak-it-might-spike-in-multiple-places-andrew-little-on-the-challenges-of-nationwide-covid/L6YDWGESYT5V3GO4DP2YSHCQN4/

    The 16,000 figure comes from taking the model for the region north of the Bombay Hills – 5400 cases a week at the upper end, based on 90 per cent of eligible people fully vaccinated – and tripling it for a whole-of-country estimate.

    Of course his training in the union movement taught him that the only way was up. Up the pay, up the fees, up the conditions. What horrible man. Mind you always was.

  6. This from the BBC this morning , Jacinda Ardern NZs Prime Minister is celebrating a law that will allow NZrs attending music concerts and other events where illegal drugs are consumed to have them tested at the event to assure the safety of the substance .
    In another World leading idea Miss Ardern is promoting a law that will allow authenticated NZ gang members to make use of the new $5 million firing range at Whenuapai West Auckland to test their illegal Machine guns ,pistols,sawn off shotguns and explosives to assure they are safe for use,She announced “look we can’t have these gangsters walking around with unsafe illegal firearms” apparently Joe piss pants Biden is looking at implementing similar policies in the USA to make that place safer.

    Re: ‘The peasants may revolt over this…’

    Except that they won’t; All the women’s mag’s, the NZ media, and the Remuera and Fendalton Mummies will go ‘Oooooh’ and ‘Aaaaaah’ and ‘Isn’t she lovely’ and ‘I hope she invites ME’, and absolutely NOTHING will change.

    All the ‘important’ Nat and ACT females will, of course, also attend to show ‘support’ and to be seen by the aforesaid women’s mags and the NZ media. and to hopefully appear in the all-important 1800 News headline video clips.

  8. Morning Troopers,

    So it looks like we’re getting a backdown on hairdressers being able to open, and even the MIQ disaster. Nothing like a bad poll and a looming weekend of protest to sway a government who has a political covid agenda rather than a health one.

    • The meek willingness to be led to slaughter is amazing. Yet now the enforcers have teamed up with early victims, who clamour like infected zombies, for you tooo take the vax, or they’ll eat your brains!

      There was another rabbi who spoke such sense once. There is hope. The Jesuit riddled church is short on truth tellers right now. Francis is a materialistic che Guevara loving Marxist and seem to abandoned all logic for worldly causes. And his bishops are cowed.

    While totally agreeing with your analysis, the thinking is that the ‘jab’ is good ‘cos it will (Supposedly) save your life and keep you safe from the naughty virus so it is quite acceptable.

    On that basis it is definitely NOT ‘violence against staff’, especially as WE (Management) think its GOOD for you so take it (Or get fired)…

  10. Bones and our esteem minister of finance live in cloud cuckoo land. Both have recently made fleeting visits to Auckland to placate the great unwashed by telling their usual line of porkies plus throwaway lines such as let them eat cake.

    Obviously the financial wizard is looking to forward sharing Bones’s forthcoming nuptials with his pet “Elf”.

    • That made sense but like listening to robot Steven hawking. The kennedies had their daughter lobotomised as she didn’t meet dads expectations. This was the first victim of the Kennedy curse, pure ambition. The next victims from this uppity Irish Catholic family in the US political power war, John then Robert. Junior soon? Probably not. Not for the masses.

  11. The newly born sperm was receiving instructions in conception from the instructor.

    “As soon as you hear the siren, run for the tunnel and swim in a straight line until you get to the entrance of a damp cavern. At the end of the cavern you will find a red, sticky ball which is the egg. Address it and say, ‘I’m a Sperm.’ She will answer, ‘I’m an Egg.’ From that moment on you will work together to create the embryo. Do you understand?”

    The sperm nodded affirmatively.

    Two days later, the sperm is taking a nap when he hears the siren. He wakes immediately and runs to the tunnel. A multitude of sperm swim behind him. He knows he has to arrive first. When he nears the entrance to the cavern, he looks back and sees that he is far ahead of the other sperm. He is able to swim at a slower pace but does approach the red, sticky ball. When, at last, he reaches the red, sticky ball, he smiles and says, “Hi, I’m a sperm!”

    The red sticky ball smiles and says, “Hi. I’m a tonsil.”

  12. Saw a pathetic piece of virtual signalling last night, went to a meeting of 7 people held in a back enclosed room at our local Town & Country Club. Went for 2 hours and finished when everybody else had left and the Manager was waiting to lock the doors. 3 people had already left, we were walking out when the one who had kept saying “Covid Protocol” all night announced in a loud voice, she was still in the room by herself at this stage, that she would follow protocol and put on a mask and then proceeded to walk out and then actually drove away with her mask still on. The fact we had spent 2 hours all a lot closer than a metre apart must have slipped her ardernic mind.

    • Hooker Phil,

      That is the same in cafes, pubs, and restaurants. All sitting in close proximity, indoors, around a table, and in close proximity to other tables, in an enclosed room with a high-wall air conditioner recirculating the air.

      In the case of pubs and cafe’s where alcohol is served, people are there for an hour or two. And they share the rest room where they get to touch shared door knobs, taps, and toilet seats. Door knobs being the worst – as we were told as 10 year olds. Even if you have washed your hands, the last person may not have. And then having touched the door knob you go back to your finder food.!!!!

      Then they get up and walk to the door, with their masks on, and walk across the car park in fresh air with their masks on, and get into their cars with their masks on. It’s all about control.

      Testing the principles behind the mask rules and hospitality, with condoms, sex, and brothels:

      [1] You must wear a condom on your willy to stop spread of pregnancy. Sperm, like Covid, are tricky little buggers, and sperm can jump across corridors in the Airport Park Hotel, and some have even survived being frozen on the outside of a frozen a cardboard pack all the way from outer Mongolia.

      [2] You don’t need a plastic (PPE) one however, any old thing will do, so long as it looks like a condom. Glad wrap, semi-permeable membrane or even a finger bandage out of the first aid kit will suffice. That will fool the little buggers.

      [3] Going to and from your dates house, or to and from the pub to her house you must wear a condom.

      [4] If you watch TV together or go to the park, with or without her / your kids, you must wear a condom. Especially if her kids are present. You don’t want to get the kids pregnant do you.

      [5] If kissing, necking, and petting, you must wear a condom. However when it comes time to do the deed, it’s OK to remove the condom.

      [6] Under no circumstances are you to use the toilet at your partners place. But it’s OK to use the toilet at the local brothel, restaurant, or cafe.

      [7] If you are going to a brothel for a 5 minute quickie, or a lap dance you must keep it on. If however you are going for a one or two hour deluxe package, or a swingers or group sex event, you may remove it.

      The rules around masks are mad.

  14. This is good.
    “Our MIQ system breaches all manner of international treaties while violating basic human rights. Ardern must be held to account. She has sacrificed the welfare, liberty and mental health of hundreds of thousands of New Zealander so she can appear ’strong’ and ‘decisive’ on the world stage. She is the most toxic prime minister in New Zealand’s history.”

    Ardern and co must be held to account, and the rest of her goons. Little, Flipkins, fat fairy, Bloomfield, Baker, Hendy et al. ( and Nash..just for being a general cunt )

  15. I watched the voices interview with Dr Chetty from South Africa last night, having missed the live event.
    He has been successfully treating Covid patients (around 7000) and has a new theory regarding the cause of severe disease.
    He believes that severe disesase (ie loss of breath and pneumonia type symptoms) start after 8 day s and are an allergic reaction to the spike protein. He treats with steroids and anti-histamines. An excellent video and well worth it if you have an hour and twenty five minutes to spare. If not there are some shorter clips on voices odysee channel.

    • Thanks Curious will watch it later.

      Here is one for everyone. Karen Kingston on Stew Peter’s channel. Really scary stuff but she backs up everything with the “paper work”. Take note at the end where she speaks of a company building a factory near where lives that will make hundreds of millions of Covid test kits per year. What does that tell you ?

    • Curious,

      He believes that severe disesase (ie loss of breath and pneumonia type symptoms) start after 8 day s and are an allergic reaction to the spike protein.

      He is on the money!

      I came to that conclusion about 18 months ago, and have been posting to that effect for over a year. The Spike protein being highly positively charged disrupts the O2/CO2 exchange cycle, in several ways, as well as disrupting the normal flow of hemoglobin, by altering the hemoglobin charge, as well as stripping out the iron in the hemoglobin.

      People get sick and die because their bodies are robbed of O2, triggering the weakest link in a person’s body, Slow Hypoxia and Hypoxemia are subtle and don’t always show up as as shortness of breath until the situation is severe. The cytokine storm is a rapid inflammation en mass of various body parts as they go into self protection mode as a result of lack of cellular oxygen.

      The problem is more electrical than it is biological and both Covid-19 effects and Vaccine side effects easily dealt with by Anti-parasiticals such as Ivermectin. Banning Ivermectin, is the equivalent of artificially creating a drought and then banning the installation of home wells and bottled water, and only allowing govt supplied free water laced with chlorine, fluoride, aluminum, Valium and parasites.

  16. The world’s top “vaccine’ salesman , Fauci, is at it again. Everyone needs to get a booster ASAP because numbers of hospitalisations of the double jabbed is rising !!! The fact the FDA and CDC did not demand extra testing etc. of the booster( before giving it an EUA) because they saw very little difference between the original jab and the booster, seems to have escaped Fauci’s logic.

    Our Mad Queen has spent all this time telling us unjabbed that the jab works so as to convince us to take the jab and now she’s about to tell the jabbed that the jab doesn’t work to convince the jabbed to take the boosters…

    • And the CEO of Pfizer tells us that the unvaxxed who speak out against the vaccine are criminals because ‘millions will die’. ‘Millions’? What millions?

      If you didn’t want millions to die you wouldn’t out a clause in the vaccine agreements for governments to ban Invermectin, etc. Adding such a clause would be like banning back yard wells and bottled water during a drought.

      Ivermectin is 100% safe for humans, having been approved for human use over 25+ years ago, A lot longer than the Pfizer vaccine that has not yet got approval, and will not do so for another 2 years, which is still 5-12 short of the length of time it takes standard drugs and vaccines to get approval for human use, including Ivermectin.

      Ivermectin is only dangerous to parasites. Parasites in Covid-19 are derived from the lethal parasites in Bats through gain of function research, managed by Fauci, who co-incidentally is balls deep in Moderna, along with Gates. And parasites in the vaccines have been observed by research doctors.

      Here’s a thought as to why they have banned Ivermectin, in addition to financial reasons. Maybe they don’t want you killing off the parasites in Covid-19 or the parasites in the vaccine. So if the millions that will die because the unvaccinated refuse to get the clot shot, are actually the tiny Goa’uld like parasites that they are stuffing into batches of the vaccines, then let them die. Our bodies are our bodies. We are humans, not hosts for parasites, and not hosts for nanobots.

    What is the price of sunlight? Householders face losing billions under intensification rules
    https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2021/11/what-is-the-price-of-sunlight-householders-face-losing-billions-under-intensification-rules.html

    A pricing tool called Icarus was invented by the consultants PWC for the bill, and has been used for the first time to put a price to the impact of more shade and less view.

    The lower combined estimated cost is $650 million nationwide, and the higher is $1.3 billion, with the price of lost sun slightly higher than for lost views.

    This represents just 10s of thousands of dollars lost from the market value of each house affected, however, the impact on people’s lives from the lack of sunshine is being described as an impending “disaster”.

    “There is nothing in New Zealand legislation which safeguards the amount of sunlight a property receives post-construction,” either for the new house or the existing neighbours, she wrote.

    “The proposal certainly has a lot of potential to lead to existing suburban properties having almost no direct sunlight over the winter months, say from April to August,” Tindale told RNZ.

  20. My wife and I had a terrifying experience last evening. We were talking to Karen and Ken. Karen is a child indoctrination officer school teacher and she was busy telling us how she needs to ‘keep the children safe’ by complying with every Fascist mandate that comes out from the podium of truth – despite the obvious fact that children aren’t at risk of Covid-19. When I pointed this out, Karen replied (I kid you not) that “There’s kids and newborn babies all over the world getting sick with Covid all the time”.

    Progressing on to the injection mandates, Karen informed me that all previous vaccines made people sick because they ‘contain viruses and all kinds of nasty stuff’, whereas this new vaccine is ‘totally safe and effective’ because it doesn’t contain any virus, just something that ‘makes you not get it’.

    When I tried to see if she understood how the injection works and introduced the concept of the human body being stimulated to coronavirus manufacture spike protein in order to activate the immune system, I was cut short with “That’s just conspiracy theory bullshit. What do you mean by ‘spike protein’? Do you think you’re some kind of expert or something? You don’t know what you’re talking about!”

    The conversation finished with Karen saying “Listen, I know what I know and you’re just spreading dangerous lies and right wing disinformation. I’m not going to talk about this anymore. Subject closed.” Ken just sat there and said “I’m not an innubiologer or whatever they’re called, so how would you expect me to know?”

    Karen is responsible for ‘educating’ young children.

  21. And it appears the self-isolation MIQ trial was the mother of all clusters. Read it and weep. FS.

    ‘Shambolic’: Government’s Covid 19 self-isolation trial described as train wreck
    A Kiwi knight and a professional sailor talk to Jane Phare about their experience in the Government’s “shambolic” self-managed isolation trial.

    Sir Ian Taylor and an Auckland professional sailor are free-angry-men today after spending the past 10 days as part of the Government’s self-isolation trial for 150 business travellers, an experience they describe as shambolic, disorganised and confusing.

    Taylor and the sailor *Terry, who does not want to be identified for business reasons, were part of a trial conducted by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Enterprise (MBIE) and the Ministry of Health. The two men say instructions were contradictory, test results didn’t turn up and they received conflicting messages from different Government departments.

    “It is just shambolic,” Taylor says.

    “Fawlty Towers is better organised,” says Terry, who is still fuming over what he regards as a threatening official email he received while isolating in his home after returning from competing in a sailing regatta in Europe.

    The telling off was because he drove to a Covid-19 testing station on day six of his isolation after receiving a text from the ministry. The text instructed him to get a nasopharyngeal swab (a PCR nasal test) and included a QR code with instructions to present it when he got to the front of the queue.

    Both Taylor and Terry had done Government-provided Covid-19 saliva tests on day three and day five but neither received the results back. Because of that, Terry assumed the Government had abandoned that system after reading about issues with it in the news.

    “I thought they’d had a problem with the saliva test.”

    He searched for a phone number in the information pack but there was none. The email address gave an automated message saying there would be a delay in replying. So he drove in his car to a testing station near his home, while wearing a mask. He says a woman scanned his QR code and acknowledged him as part of the home isolation trial.

    “I got the result back the next morning. That’s the only test result I’ve had back since I’ve been in home isolation,” he told the Herald on day nine of his stay.

    But he later got an email telling him off for leaving his self-isolation accommodation, saying he had breached the conditions he had agreed to when entering the self-isolation pilot. The letter warned there were “associated offences and penalties for non-compliance”. The letter also pointed out that “Covid-19 spreads from person to person”.

    The letter left Terry furious and he fired back a you’re-kidding-me response. “I told them not to threaten me. I figure that I’m obeying all of the rules. If they want to go down that road and send the police to my front door, I’ll turn on my camera and put it on YouTube about how f***ing stupid so much of this is. They’re treating me like an idiot. Of course I know Covid spreads from person to person.”

    Taylor also received the same text asking him to have a PCR test done, telling him to present the QR code when he reached the front of the queue. The text told him to have a test on November 15 at 2.08am.

    “That’s what it said. Nothing else. So I thought ‘I’m not going in at 2am,'” Taylor says.

    Both he and Taylor say other instructions in the information packs were conflicting. The packs were waiting at their accommodation on arrival, Taylor in a Herne Bay townhouse lent by an Auckland businessman as part of the #151 Off the Bench trial, and Terry in his own home after his wife moved out.

    Taylor’s instructions said he had to isolate for 14 days on one piece of paper, and 10 days on another. He queried the discrepancy with MBIE and two days later he received confirmation he needed to stay for 14 days. But today he was released after 10 days.

    In Terry’s pack, one instruction about the Covid-19 saliva testing kits said to keep the saliva at room temperature and out of the sun. Another instruction said to keep it in the fridge. In the end it didn’t matter because he never got the results of either test until he queried their whereabouts on day 10 when he was ready to be released.

    Both men were instructed to get another PCR test on day nine. The same driver picked them up in a mini van, separately, to take them for the test. Yet the following day (day 10), both men got an email saying they had failed to turn up for the tests.

    Ironically, Terry got an email at 12.02pm yesterday (day 10) to say his PCR test was negative. One minute later he got another email to say he had failed to have his day nine PCR test.

    “They picked me up yesterday and took me to do the test. Now they’re saying that I didn’t do it,” he told the Herald.

    Taylor received a similar email to say he too had failed to have the test.

    Trial is a ‘train wreck’
    “I am absolutely gobsmacked by the incompetence here. It really is a train wreck.”

    Taylor was left angry and disillusioned at the disorganisation and the Government’s refusal to back Kiwi technology that he says would have helped in the trial.

    As an example Taylor says he left a Rako Science saliva test outside his door at 8am on day nine. And he did a Covid-19 test using the Kiwi-developed MicroGEM Spitfire equipment which returned a negative result in 27 minutes. He also did a rapid antigen test left over from his trip to the US where he used them daily in his hotel room.

    “It seems I might have brought them in illegally from the States because they’re banned (in NZ) at the moment,” he says. “I had a negative result in 15 minutes. And Rako Science’s result came back negative (from the lab) before the driver turned up at lunchtime to pick me up.”

    The Government used a locating system which required someone to call Taylor and Terry at random times to check they were home, verifying their photo identity and whereabouts using an app. But as part of Taylor’s #151 trial he wore a geo watch 24/7 which constantly showed his whereabouts. He inadvertently put that security system to the test when he was taken for his PCR test, forgetting to tell his team he was leaving the house. He got a “please explain” call from Matrix Security when he was in the van.

    Taylor’s concern now is that the trial will do little to help thousands of Kiwis to come home by Christmas after the Government indicated it won’t be moving quickly to change the overburdened MIQ system.

    “What is happening here where stateless people aren’t able to come here?”

    He’s challenged the Government to let his #151 team, headed by the Auckland Unlimited cross sector border group, to come up with a plan that meets all of the required safety protocols.

    “We’re not saying the borders get thrown open. We’re saying we can actually start to bring people back in a more managed way that is safe but doesn’t need MIQ, Taylor says.

    “The only way this is going to happen is if they (the Government) let go. We can show them the conditions we are going to put in place. We just need them to tick this box. No more reports.”

    He also questions how the Government can collate information from 150 individuals on the trial when there were no clear objectives and goals.

    “That’s not a trial to figure out how you get 30,000 people home,” he says. “I don’t know how they will assess it. You need to have systems in place to gather evidence. We’ve got clear goals. We’re reporting every day to Ernst & Young on specific things.”

    In hindsight Terry says he would have been better off in an MIQ hotel. He and two sailing other colleagues won November spots in MIQ but he also applied for one of the 150 trial places so he could isolate in his own home.

    But, he says, his two colleagues were far better off. Because they were in the same bubble, they shared a ground-floor patio for a beer at night and were released after seven days. They then boarded a flight to Queenstown so they could isolate with their families for another three days. Meanwhile he was still in isolation on day 10 with no saliva testing results, and a message saying he hadn’t had his final PCR test done.

    In response to questions from the Herald a spokesperson for MBIE said an evaluation of the self-isolation pilot was being prepared for the Covid-19 Response Minister, Chris Hipkins.

    “This evaluation will include the application process and border systems, and the delivery of services in self-isolation such as testing, location monitoring, compliance and enforcement.”

    In addition, the evaluation would include feedback from participants and others involved such as transport providers and airport border testing staff. The statement said the self-isolation period for business travellers on the pilot was shortened from 14 days to 10 days on November 14, the same day MIQ stays were reduced to seven days plus three days in self-isolation.

    MBIE did not answer a question about timing, instead saying the Government would “inform the public when they have made a decision on future self-isolation, and this decision will include advice from public health”.

    The spokesperson said MBIE was aware Sir Ian Taylor was trialling some other options for Covid-19 testing and location monitoring.

    “We look forward to receiving his feedback on his experience in the pilot.”

    *Terry’s name has been changed to protect his identity.”

  22. This kiwi does a very good pull apart of what this media article does not explain.

    passports no longer a conspiracy!

    my thoughts on the 1news article and their clever lingo.. what’s yours?

    Good explanations of just how glib the media, the workings of this passport, is much more devious, and so how Unvaxxed will be able to be so discriminated by government departments, that is takes away so many other rights.

    She is very good, and brings it in easy terms for our brains to easily understand. 🙂

  23. Just had a text telling me to come on down to Mitre 10 this Saturday for a vaccination and a FREE sausage. Wow.
    I replied ” A free sausage, how miserable. They are giving a $100 plus up north plus other stuff.” No response so far.

  24. Oh FFS, you just couldn’t make this shit up.

    Chris Keall: Does it matter you can easily edit your own Vaccine Pass?
    The My Vaccine Pass is being emailed to people as an editable PDF.

    I could not believe it when a reader emailed me to point this out.

    I thought they must be mistaken. Surely the Ministry of Health would dispatch it as a read-only file?

    But when I fired up Adobe Acrobat, I could open my Vaccine Pass and change my name or the expiry date simply by using the text editing tool (your Vaccine Pass is only valid for six months because the definition of “fully vaccinated” will change next year as booster shots become available).

    • Just like the hero cop who restrained the terrible Floyd beast, who died of a drug overdose.

      At least pregnant black women don’t need to live in fear of him pointing a gun at their pregnant belly as he robs them.

  25. So now that Jacinda has given ‘Iwi’ police powers to stop vehicles –
    What you you going to do if you are driving with your family and get flagged down by a red and black patched thug with a bulldog on his back?
    This country is heading to oblivion…

  26. You want to know what the left think of our Maori brothers?

    Then look how they treat Maori who challenge them; Billy, Brian, Simon…

    Leftists are racist. Why do you think they bang on about race all the time?

    • Non-Maori chased out.

      Bullying and racism allegations made by former staff at Te Arawhiti, the office for Māori Crown Relations, have been rejected by the organisation.
      https://www.1news.co.nz/2021/11/19/bullying-claims-from-ex-te-arawhiti-staff-rejected-by-organisation/

      “We would have fortnightly meetings… it felt like you were walking up to the executioner’s block. She’d make terrible comments about you as a worker. It happened publicly all the time.”

      Māori Crown Relations Minister Kelvin Davis still has confidence in the organisation and wasn’t worried about the 30 per cent new-staff turnover rate last year.

      According to ministerial briefing notes made by the chief executive, more than three quarters of staff who left last year were not Māori.

  27. HISTORY NOTE
    Just an historical observation: rising interest rates and inflation together with low growth led to string of big company collapses in the late 1970s and the 1980s. These culminated in the locally-owned BNZ sinking in 1990. Just saying … given that most managers weren’t around during this period.

  28. AUT’s Amy Benjamin has left the Auckland university after claims she made on a livestream hosted by conspiracy theorist Vinny Eastwood.
    Stewart Sowman-Lund reports.

    A controversial New Zealand law lecturer has resigned from an Auckland university after alleging the 2019 Christchurch mosque attack was a “false flag”.

    Amy Benjamin has been an outspoken critic of the Government’s Covid-19 response since the Delta lockdown, often going against the scientific consensus on the pandemic.

  29. Vaccinated vs. unvaccinated: Europe’s COVID-19 culture war

    Sven Müller is proudly unvaccinated. He thinks COVID-19 vaccines are neither effective nor safe but a way to make money for pharmaceutical companies and corrupt politicians who are taking away his freedom.

    Under state rules to stem coronavirus infections, he is no longer allowed to go to restaurants, to the bowling alley, to the cinema or to the hairdresser. From next week, he will be barred from entering most shops, too. But that has only strengthened his resolve.

    “They can’t break me,” said Müller, 40, a bar owner in the town of Annaberg-Buchholz, in the Ore Mountain region in the eastern state of Saxony where the vaccination rate is 44% — the lowest in Germany.

  30. Sorry this is so late in the day but,
    Did anyone see Mahuta promoting just Maori Exports in her position as Trade minister.
    All exporters need promotion not just 16%
    This person who has been elected by nobody is unashamedly promoting her mates and relies products and apparently forgettingthat all NZ exporters pay her.
    Thank you MMP!

  31. Upcoming Beaver Moon eclipse longest of its kind since 1440

    A loud alarm clock and a strong cup of coffee may be needed to enjoy one of 2021’s final astronomy events as the moon passes through Earth’s shadow to create a lunar eclipse.

    An impressive partial lunar eclipse will plunge 97% of the moon into darkness on Thursday night and into the early hours of Friday over North America. It will also be visible from Australia, New Zealand, eastern Asia and part of South America.

    This will be the longest partial lunar eclipse since 1440, but it is not the longest lunar eclipse in recent history. That title belongs to the total lunar eclipse of July 27, 2018, which lasted about 12 minutes longer than the one that is set to unfold this week, according to TimeAndDate.com.

    Lunar eclipses only happen on the night of a full moon and November’s full moon will be the smallest full moon of the year, also known as a “micromoon.”

  32. Pfizer has power to ‘silence’ governments and ‘maximize profits’, consumer group alleges

    COVID-19 vaccine manufacturer Pfizer has been accused of hiding behind a veil of secrecy to profiteer during the “worst public health crisis” in over 100 years.

    That was the key criticism made by Public Citizen, a consumer rights group, which published a report containing leaked Pfizer contracts with the United States, United Kingdom, European Commission, Albania, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Dominican Republic and Peru.

    In some of the contracts (some of which were in draft or final form), Pfizer had the power to block countries from donating their COVID-19 vaccines to other countries, unilaterally change delivery schedules if there was a shortage, and demand that public assets be used as collateral.

    Key points:
    The company is able to change its vaccine delivery schedule (without penalty)
    Brazil can’t accept COVID vaccine donations from other nations, without Pfizer’s consent
    Pfizer raised the annual sales forecast for its COVID-19 vaccines to $US33.5b (up 29 per cent)

  33. IT’S LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKE TREASON, MS ARDERN

    “Is there something else going on behind the scenes with the global COVID-19 pandemic? It’s a very strong word to use, but is it treason? It’s a deadly serious question.

    “Has the New Zealand Prime Minister been using COVID-19 to engage in a deliberate attack on New Zealand and the New Zealand people on behalf of powerful global interests?

    “The evidence is unfortunately stacking up against her.”

    As readers will know, the word ‘treason’ has been used more than once on this blog in regard to Jacinda Ardern. This guest post comes from EnvirowatchRangitikei.
