Veitchy? Enrolled in full moon drumming course, I heard.

Labour wants NZ tax payers to contribute one dollar per voter to a slush fund of election money for the parties. They’re selling it to their mates in National on the basis of getting their share of a possible 1.8 million. Fuckin bunch of thieves the lot of them. Labour say it’s justified since large private donations are restricted by law. They’re “scared” someone will hijack the government through donations. Who exactly? Oh you know organisations like rainbow labour, or the greens campaigning on environment but really being communists, or Helen’s secret agendas, or John Key’s hidden leftwing agendas. Stuff like that. the only kind of democratic transparency NZ is moving towards is the certainty that whatever you vote for, you’ll not get it, but something else the complete opposite in it’s place, dreamed up by a liar. Who cares if someone we’ve never heard of hi-jacks the election. It’s the same result as we have now: someone we had heard of lied and did something different. Neither scenario represents the people.

Oh well xxx

We may as well accept our fate that things are going to get alot worse before they get better, most people don’t want representation they just want a kind master and to be left alone while they watch TV.

This is why i despise unions:

From http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/2573231/Drivers-sacked-money-missing

“The union doesn’t support or condone theft,” he said. “But the company has allowed this situation and the temptation that went along with it to last for three years. In all that time the company has ignored it and they have some responsibility to have proper systems and processes in place to stop that sort of thing happening.”

Mr O’Sullivan said the fact only a small number of drivers had taken advantage of the system was “testimony to how honest our drivers are”

Only a union would have the gall to turn around and lay blame on a company for placing temptation infront of their staff. And then go on to say that because only 9 drivers were caght shows that the rest are honest, upstanding citizens!

Be honest you POS unionists. the only reason 9 drivers were caught is because they were dumb enough to keep THIEVING once the change of systems had been implemented. This of course leads me to wonder how many were smart enough to stop offending.

The only surprise is that the union did not say the bus drivers were underpaid and that this was an acceptable way of lifting their income to an improved yet still unsatisfactory level.

Check out Trevor Loudon’s latest run in with a Marxist Massey University academic – an extremist feminist who said this:

” Women and girls do 2/3 of the world’s work for 5% of the income.
So when women stop everything stops.

…. and everyone starves. Don’t you think women know that? This is why
we cannot go on strike. Be glad we don’t kill every one of you fuckers.
All we need to perpetuate the species is your sperm.

Funny that Marx didn’t think about this. ”

Bloody Hell !

I have a vague recollection that the union may have advocated a bit of skimming as part of industrial action a year or so ago. Anyone recall that?

Twelve years to settle this court case. How could our justice system have allowed it to drag on for that long?

Forty-one former student protesters feel justified with a $200,000 out-of-court settlement for police abuses at a Parliament protest in 1997, with two apologies the icing on the cake.

re Angus’ link
I would like to hear “slippery Steve” Maharey defending the employment of this idiot fringe “professor” but then Massey and its qualifications was always a bit populist and strange compared to the more Southern institutions.

Glutaemus Maximus

Angus, that is quite disturbing.

My Wife can watch me do all sorts around the House, Drive, Go to Work, Do Errands, Help with Shopping, Cleaning etc.

Yet still she accuses me of doing nothing. All my mate’s women do exactly the same thing.

Like they say, it’s the scoring that counts.

BTW, with Cloning the Super Bitches won’t need us at all!

Oh, and buy your own feckin drinks!

Can you imagine what that Nasty Cow does with any Sperm?

Ahh no. The court found nobody had broken the law, none of the 75-odd protestors arrested were convicted.

Attention Magpie Phil

For heavens sake. Do you really think those are shiny bits ???

Remember: “..basically..[you are] the magpie sitting on the fence-post..looking out for/collecting all ‘the shiny bits’..for [one presumes – society at large]..”

You need to give yourself a rev up. Do you really think that Phil Jnr will be boasting to his mates about those sorry efforts? You better lift your game or the cheques will stop coming.

Back to the bathroom for …

“… mirror mirror on the wall …”

You’re starting to look a bit lazy. The thought!!!!

It was the Police who broke the law in this instance bruv. Hence the settlement and the apology.

One of the protesters, Chris Hipkins, is now a Labour MP but many of the others are responsible members of society, including some with whom I am sure you will have an affinity who have gone on to protest on animal rights issues.

More importantly, I see the Chinese colonial project in Turkestan is running into trouble. I had a discussion with a Han Chinese guy from Kashgar some years ago and his fear and lack of understanding of Uighers was profound. I don’t imagine our government will be saying much about the situation given the Free Trade Agreement and them being all buddy buddy with the Chinese Communist Party leadership these days.

Phil if it’s to late to do anything about climate change then why continue with the bullshit. I will tell you why for free. It’s about greedy socialist pricks trying to advance a one world government by crippling the west. It’s about the transfer of wealth and power to the anointed pricks and drones entrenched in the UN. It’s the fucking con of the century.

It IS the fucking con of the century, but it began with margaret thatcher, was promoted by Enron and is now the plaything of an emerging Climate Industrial Complex incorporating a grand coalition of wind turbine makers, energy companies, investment wankers and Al Gore.

Kris K

A woman to counter Marxist Massey University extremist feminist academics:

Ann Coulter quotes:
“It would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950—except Goldwater in ’64—the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted.”

Ann Coulter: “Take away women’s votes because “women are voting so stupidly”

Again, in an October 2007 interview with the New York Observer, Coulter said: “If we took away women’s right to vote, we’d never have to worry about another Democrat president. It’s kind of a pipe dream, it’s a personal fantasy of mine, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women.”

If we replace ‘Democrat’ with ‘Liarbour’, and ‘Republican’ with ‘National’ I think we may have seen a similar trend in NZ Political History.
Certainly, very few men I quizzed during Labour’s previous 9 year tenure actually voted Labour.

Maybe we should have a referendum on removing the rights of women to vote? I even know a few women who would support such a move.

Change of topic for a minute if I may…

Something else to thank greenies for… they are about to kill off fish and chip shops, purveyors of an old NZ (and other British offshoot countries).

The Christchurch Star, the bi-weekly give-away remnant of the city’s evening daily newspaper, reports Ministry of Fisheries biosecurity has approved importing and selling to the shops Vietnamese catfish or basa. These are farm-raised and the Vietnamese reputedly shower them with chemicals. The fish grow in polluted water without any environmental regulation, NZ fishing industry sources say.

Why blame the greenies? Because this follows punitive restrictions that have nearly wiped out the New Zealand inshore fishing industry — the family run small boats that until now have supplied much of our fish for local consumption. The most recent restrictions the greens got laid on this were supposedly to protect Hector’s dolphins, which fishing veterans will tell you aren’t being killed by fishing boats any way. The remnants of this industry haven’t a show of competing against the Vietnamese fish. It may also be relevant that fish and chip shops in what was a market for our coastal fishermen — Australia– are increasingly becoming a Vietnamese ethnic preserve.

The one good Green, Sue Kedgely, is right however, in her battle to have compulsory country-of-origin labelling on food. This seems to be blocked by our agricultural exporters, sucking up to customer countries. Fuck them.

The Vietnamese fish, which is going into ready-made meals and breadcrumbed fish, too.

The Star reports a spokesman for the New Zealand Food Safety Authority saying that the Vietnamese fish could be included in a monitoring programme if there “is sufficient evidence suggesting a food safety and/or suitability problem.” In other words, they don’t want to know.

Be careful about your fish and chips.

New Zealand is treating migrants like waste products using them and then throwing them away, says Wigram MP Jim Anderton. “They come under policies that allow and encourage them to come, and then when things turn bad we kind of dispose of them like a waste product,” he said yesterday. “It’s inhumane.”

So I guess Taito won’t be calling Jimbo as a character witness then?

This is funny – Turkey have started a reality TV Show where religions compete with each other to try and convert Athiests. If any of the atheists convert, they get a free trip to the relevant holy city – Mecca, Jerusalem, Rome.

http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/07/03/turkey.religion.gameshow/index.html

My only disappointment was that the Scientologists aren’t taking part – if you converted to Scientology would you get a free trip to their home planet? That would be cool!

Bombshell: Supreme Court Now Has Obama Citizenship

AP- WASHINGTON D.C. — In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama’s qualifications for the presidency, the group Americans for Freedom of Information has Released copies of President Obama’s college transcripts from Occidental College Released today, the transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship. This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama’s detractors have been seeking.
