Looking forward to the outcome in the Massachusetts Election today – although I understand the final outcome may not be fully known for a couple of weeks.

Was the act of fence-crashing the Prince’s BBQ funny enough for us, or garnered the radio station enough new listeners, to be worth the extra cost there will now be [to the tax payers] in all future security for visiting dignitaries? An extra hundred thousand more or so each time from now on to stop idiots turning up with cheap sausages?

Dear John Key – Now that your photo opportunity with Bonnie Prince William is over could you please turn your attention to the urgent matter of the 35,000 hectares of public land you owe me and every other New Zealander ( except for certain members of society that appear to already have got theirs – not sure why they got theirs first).

I’d appreciate your urgent attention to this matter.

Love and sloppy, spit laden, kisses

The exterior of the new $80m Supreme Court building in Wellington is an architechtural embassment. (I haven’t seen anything of the interior.) It has all the charm of Soviet-style edifices of the 1960s.

I wait with a sense of anticipation for an impressive round of design awards from the nation’s architectural elite, and for cub journalists to begin breathlessly calling the building “iconic”.

The photo of the trespasser, with the aptly surname Slow, is in today’s Dom Post.

The Police is considering charges. Why are the cops so slow to react?
The book should be thrown at this imbecile, who claims it was all a joke. The moron should be given a stiff sentence to deter future “pranskters”.

I see the Maori Party are “appalled by the Government’s proposals for a “three strikes” sentencing policy, which would see repeat violent offenders who kill spend the rest of their life in prison.”

DPF, in view of Copenhagen’s failure and the increasing sentiment against AGW (aided by the discovery of the leaked e-mails and falsified data), could you tell us if you have changed your point of view?

You mentioned a couple of months ago that “NZ would commit economic suicide by not having an Emission Trading Scheme (ETS)”. Are you of the same opinion today?

By the way, when will the National government repel the ETS?

Excellent selection of porn available by clicking on Dirty Rat. Thank you Mr Farrar for permitting my 14 year old daughter to access this without needing to go looking for it. Now she is wondering why she has a cunt instead of a dick.

[DPF: Why the fuck would you assume I was aware of the link he used with his profile? I have better things to do that vet each comment. If a comment (including their linked name) is inappropriate, then the procedure is to e-mail me with a link to the comment]

Good luck with that plan democracymum.

If it was up to Minto we’d be putting jews in special wired off enclaves already. I understand he has a plan to send them all to Madagascar as well.

New topic for a moment…

Law lecturer Ursula Cheer takes the strategy of divide and conquer in today’s Christchurch Press as she climbs into Whale (Cameron Slater), but praises Kiwiblog’s kingpin.

Cheer calls on bloggers to “publish according to codes of ethics which recognise fairness, accuracy, balance, and an understanding of the rule of law”. (Surely a recipe for turning the blogosphere into a mirror of the boring, lightweight, overwhelmingly leftist MSM?)

Cheer says Whale’s views on name suppression “appear to be expressions of punitive prejudice rather than rational conclusions based on fact”.

Compare this with Cheer’s parental head rub for DPF:

…Other blogs, such as those maintained by David Farrar, are able to maintain valuable public discussion about crime and court cases without breaking the law, while at the same time educating online audiences about the law and the reasons for doing it.

The Establishment is sharpening up the harpoons. You are good as blubber unless you dive now, Whale.

Swim to some little paradise where the Kiwi village lawyers, Steele, Robb & Burns, can’t reach you with writs. Set up a new web base, then swim back camouflaged as a dolphin and continue the crusade incognito.

The wifes cousins from Australia want to know where that mousewheel on Eagle vs Shark is. They want to visit it when they come over. I want to see it too.
Does anyone know where exactly it is?
Seems its either in Plimmerton, Pukerua Bay or Titahi Bay as thats where the small town scenes were filmed

Yeah because the only way to find porn on the internet is to go to a politics-orientated blog and then click on one poster’s name.

Why the hell weren’t you monitoring your daughters online activites jackboot if you’re that worried about. Unless DPF did her mother its not his responsibility to raise the child.

Any one else would have just emailed DPF to alert him and he would have done what he did, delete the link and issue a warning.

Are you not capable of running your own life or something?

Our Immigration laws need to be seriously looked at.

Someone can come here with $1 miilion bucks and buy a business, get residency for the whole family, sell business for a profit and all piss of back ‘home’. Now, the family can then get free health care and education in NZ for eternity all while based in China. The daughters can come to NZ to have their own NZ resident children, go home, then come back 5 years later for the free education. Get sick in China – never mind, lets go to NZ for our free heart transplant.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10621151

A few more generations of this rort and we NZ taxpayers are screwed!

We need to do as the Aussies do and if you are out of the Country for longer than 2 years, you loose your resident status.

No DPF shouldn’t have deleted the link and given him a warning.
Where are your brains, what sort of message is that?

DPF controls this space, no one else.
a warning?
Delete his link?

Mike I would have punted they guy in a heartbeat but DPF is always trying to be Mr Reasonable, hence his excessive troll population and the name i gave the site of “Farrars Troll Farm”.

the point is that what jackboots spawn is reading on the interwebs is jackboots problem, not DPF’s.

Rachael Rich in her 10.48 post is correct about New Zealand’s soft immigration restrictions compared with Australia.

National began the ethnic re-engineering of NZ, Labour continued it, and now National again maintains it. Ethnic migration could have advantages, if it attracted the world’s best and most highly skilled and the world’s most driven entrepreneurs. However, in contrast it has brought us a horde of real estate salesmen and saleswomen, and fast-food and restaurant proprietors. NZ’s leisure-oriented culture attracts those who want to stretch out and rest rather than those who want to roll up their sleeves and toil. Similarly NZ’s welfare culture attracts the highly unskilled, usually with low English skills, those likely to have costly health needs, and those who want, as the link provided by Rachael Rich suggests, well, just a bolt hole with guaranteed health care.

Meanwhile, our political parties trip over each other as they suck up to the new minorities and thumb their noses at the old kiwi majority.

Immigration policy is another reason for NZ to become a state of Australia, a country with balls when it comes to new citizens.

A further reason is today’s report of the tax task force (see link below). The MSM coverage focuses on suggestions of raising GST and reducing income tax, but the dominant theme of the report seems to me to be: we should align our tax system with Australia.

Let’s stop stuffing around and apply to become an Australian state.
