Is there anything more sickening than that self-aggrandiser John Tamihere putting his two cents in on the Paul Henry suspension. People in glass houses…

“It will be an understatement that the community has been increasingly fearful of this group under investigation as they have not only been entrenching themselves in government departments but also criminalising members of our community through duping them into making false declarations in immigration applications.”

Mr Singh [no relation] said they had complained to Members of Parliament, cabinet ministers and government departments over the group.

“Each time the community’s complaints were given superficial treatment.”

Interesting… Only under Labour, I guess!

What is the deal with those responsible for counting Local Body Election votes and privacy?
Peter Chin has dropped from 70% to 16% in two days
– there appears to have been no polls
– every other drop in IPredict Mayor betting has followed a poll

wouldnt these ‘counters’ placing money in IPredict be a breach of contract or something… maybe even illegal?

It is 20 mins long but like many other TED vids is worth listening too.
It asks some good questions about our growth and our consumerist psyche.

Unfair advantage for ODT subscribers? Their second poll is on the front page today, hard to find on their website. The first poll last week also favoured Cull, but the gap has widened.

George Patton, commenting yesterday evening on “Will TVNZ be prosecuted for One News tonight?”, said –
“When I saw TV1 I roared with laughter because I leapt to a certain conclusion.
But it may not be apparent to all.
Here is the link to the TVNZ article. What do Kiwiblog readers think?”

I would suggest George would be the rare person to pick this up without any further clues, or to note it without prior knowledge. It would have been different if the posters of candidates had been rearranged or the camera shot zoomed to the board rather than the presenter. Without slightlyrightly suggesting the timing of 56 seconds in the clip was interesting I would think many ‘average’ viewers would still not pick it up, so while DPF’s question was “Will TVNZ be prosecuted for One News tonight?” the question could still be “Did TVNZ break name-supression on One News tonight”.
And another question is: Should a news crew rearrange a ‘natural’ environment to cater for a name suppression, when they, by law, should not know what they should be avoiding showing.

It is a little like DPF way back, commenting on the name suppression of the entertainer, showed a Facebook page with all pertinent references blocked out, to show how much information could need to be withheld to met law requirements. He did leave one small margin around the border of a CD cover where his block didn’t quite cover it, and that was enough to match that CD to the entertainer, as was confirmed when I out of interest downloaded the graphic and found it opened in Mac Keynote which allowed all the blocks to be removed, totally opposite to the intention with which DPF had posted the image. [ – image no longer available] So did he break name suppression by providing me with the information but needed my accidental discovery of the nature of the graphic; or did I break suppression myself when I could not have done that without the help, inadvertent as it was, of some one else.

I would suggest TVNZ did not break suppression in yesterday evening’s One News, but this only shows how messy some of these suppressions can be.

Compare and contrast:

Hawariwa white mother fuckers, thats ok. (Memeber of a race based party which exiss for the promotion of one race over all others)
In India they burn a kiwi in efigy, thats ok
Turia tells us that people who have been here 7 or 8 generations are visitors, thats ok (co-leader of a race based party which exiss for the promotion of one race over all others

Henry questions someone who is visibly not a typical New Zealander, he must be sacked, TVNZ is a platform for bigotry, Henry is normaising reacism in the work place and tv in India has a ticker on the bottom of the screen saying kiwi presenter racist.

I agree there’s certainly a bucket load of racism about these things. But this white mother fucker is really fucking tied of being beaten with a fucking brown neck racist stick and being expected to take it.

Why should the child of a European NZ’er be forced to learn maori?

Surely the maori kids (or those who wantd to learn) could be given special maori language classes. This would be more effective, target those kids with maori culture.

Seems like you should all switch off, unless of course you are a socilist beneficiary or facist kiwi in which case you will rush out and buy the sponsors product a a high rate of spend just to support the rating for TVNZ breaky.
That should do it.

Maori Party co-leader Pita Sharples said the report revealed a “crisis of failure” in schools.

“The worst scandal is that there are programmes to help schools but the schools with a crisis are refusing the help available,” Dr Sharples said.

New topic for a mo…

While Key and Gaffe and co are buzzing about the intemperate remarks of a Gypsy TV commentator, NZ’s currency is so hot it could melt, and the world just could be in a new Black October. Anyone find much in our lightweight MSM about the currency crisis sweeping the world and affecting NZ? Bit about the Australian Reserve Bank surprising by not raising interest rates, that’s all.

Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan is pushing interest rates down towards zero and has set up a US$60 billion fund to buy risky assets, including for the first time for the Japanese central bank, real estate investment trusts and stock funds. Stand by for a new flood of Japanese savings for NZ, buying everything our politicians will sell.

Brazil, one of the rising economic BRIC giants (with China, India, and Russia) has doubled taxes on foreign purchases of Brazilian bonds to fight foreign speculators who have driven up the country’s currency. It’s not just non-US currencies that are being driven up. Gold is at an all-time record high of US$1341 a Troy ounce, silver is at a 30-year high, tin is at an all-time record high, and copper is through the roof (which will see NZ criminal scum ripping off everything made of copper).

The kiwi dollar, of course, is soaring, and threatens to wipe out non-dairy exporters.

What is NZ doing to dampen the kiwi dollar? Fuck all. On the contrary, in London, as reported by Reuters on 26 September, Philip Combes, treasurer of New Zealand’s debt management office, has been talking up the kiwi. Here’s what Reuters said:

“There’s clear scope for the New Zealand dollar to appreciate in the medium-term,” Combes told a conference in London. His comment prompted a rally in the New Zealand dollar, which rose to an eight-month high of $0.7418.

Reuters reported New Zealand has been increasing its bond issuance this year. It says at the moment (26 Sep), outstanding debt stock totals around 35 billion New Zealand dollars, and Combes told Reuters on the sidelines of the conference he aimed for it to rise to around 50 billion New Zealand dollars, adding he would be disappointed if the stock fell below that level.

Combes also said the Debt Management Office expected to raise NZ$1-2 billion from a syndicated 2025 linker issue, and that the country would soon launch a 2019 bond.

Farmers, exporters, and their many employees and dependents and contractors, can relax knowing our bureaucrats are talking up the kiwi dollar. And knowing, too, our politicians are committed to a high-currency strategy.

Whoops! Just found a good column by John Hickey on how NZ could save itself in the currency wars – note, COULD save itself.

Can this be the same Hickey who not long ago was defending the sale of the Crafar farms to a Chinese company with a lot of flaky associates?

The Watermelons do not champion anything other than their own sick obsession with power, tyranny and totalitarianism. NZers need to awaken to the evil of gradualisation. Read this transcript of Billy T in 1985 and then think about where we have ended up today.

That’s a good transcript from Billy T.

Redbaiter, how gutless can you get? You made veiled accusations at me on yesterday’s GD (“Written any more cowardly complaint letters lately you contemptible hypocrite??”) and at the same time posting what you thought “out of sight” at CR. Why not here? Who is the coward?

I did not send any letter or email or contact DPF in any way yesterday. You posted the sort of stuff that DPF has demerited you for before so you know damn well what he will ping you for. You posted on a thread (Previous post hidden) where it was obvious DPF would be keeping a very close watch on. You got pinged, and then had a whingy hissy fit.

Did anyone complain about my post? Who was it, because whoever they are they’re damn politically motivated frauds. Especially if it was Pete George who makes a specialty of calling everyone a liar without any kind of reason..

You are the specialist liar, coward and hypocrite. And your accusations are false and without foundation.

That’s my opinion, I’ve said my piece and I’m going to leave it at that. Hop back to the Rabbit if you want to have a moanfest about it.

I thought it was done and dusted but it looks like the Paul Henry thing is getting stoked along.

I’d never bothered watching the Dikshit “joking”, thought it was stupid but that was all. But the video clip is still apparently on the TVNZ website under the heading “”Paul Henry laughs about the name Dikshit”. And the transcript, especially now knowing his GG attitude, does make you wonder about what the hell TVNZ are up to.

In it, Henry deliberately mispronounces Mrs Dikshit’s name, despite being told at the outset that it is pronounced ‘Dixit”.

“The dip shit woman. God, what’s her name? Dick Shit. Is it Dick Shit … it looks like ‘Dick Shit’,” Henry says through bouts of laughter.

“It’s so appropriate, because she’s Indian, so she’d be dick-in-shit wouldn’t she, do you know what I mean? Walking along the street … it’s just so funny.”

TVNZ must think it’s fine for breakfast TV, and that it meets their charter obligations, but I have to wonder even more now why the hell John Key is associating himself with a program like that for. Does he think it’s funny?

Once the PC mob smell blood they are a baying pack of hounds.The rest of us lack the will to stare them down.

As a country we’re overly big on apologising. New Zealand’s becoming like one huge Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, with everyone laying out their slips and weaknesses. Sorry my great-great-great grandfather gave yours only two muskets and a barrel of rum for this bay. Sorry for being a Westerner, a member of the most successful civilisation of all time. Sorry I identify as white, sorry I mark the census “I’m a New Zealander”, sorry I’m male, sorry I’m heterosexual, sorry I’m not a crossdresser, sorry I’m not a pacifist, sorry I eat meat, sorry I don’t want to save every whale, sorry I think DOC’s big enough already. Sorry to grandmothers because we didn’t allow open-slather abortion all those years ago. Sorry to all the criminal gangs for not legitimising them from the beginning. Sorry to short people for not subsidising height-extending shoes. Sorry to tall people for not requiring alternative high doorways, desks, and chairs in all business premises. Sorry to the left-handed for not requiring all employers to have duplicate left-hand and right-hand equipment and machinery.

Helun Klark epitomised the “sorry for being a white human” prostration. It’s hard to match Klark going down on her knees before a Pacific Islands family in Auckland because a stuff-up with a power company and the family cut off power to the machine that was prolonging the life of the mother. Yes it was sad and wrong, but the Great Painter-Prime Minister’s grovelling was pathetic.

Now TVNZ chief Ellis is to call personally on our Governor-General (when he returns from the Commonwealth Games) because of Paul Henry’s questioning whether the GG was a “real NZer”. Ellis is obviously propelled by his board which has presided over the slide of NZ’s public television system. If Ellis wants to be a hero he should say, I’ve said sorry and disciplined Henry, that’s enough. “Directors, you can blow your delivered apology out your ears, and fuck that mob out the front for what they are, a handful of protesters organised by sorry old Marxists.”

Meanwhile, NZ Hooerald reporters are harassing Paul Henry at home. Tabloid tigers when they have the PC prissies clapping them on.

Get yourself a couple of Rotties, Henry. They will keep the girl reporters at bay. Of course, Henry, if you had been a new New Zealander of Asian, African, Middle East, or Pacific Islands origin you probably wouldn’t need dogs. Too bad you’re just an NZ-born Gypsy. No-one gives a stuff about Gypsies, in Europe, the Middle East, or here. Not even the race-righteous, PC, apology-demanding freaks.

Such are the genetic breaks.

Watching the Australian dollar soar (and some commentators are predicting it will go as high as US$1.20 next year) I was wondering what NZ’s response would be. Australia is pumping out so much mineral wealth that there are some advantages in it having offshore buying power. I can’t see the same argument applying to NZ.

As you say, it’s going to hurt our major exporters. It’s also going to hurt retailers. As people figure out that a high dollar means they can buy luxury goods from the US and UK for less than they can in NZ (even allowing for shipping), many retailers will suffer. And as spending on tat like shoes and handbags rockets, the Reserve Bank will emerge po faced, tell everyone they’re naughty for spending their own money, and raise interest rates, putting more pressure on mortgages.

Talking up the dollar would thus seem damaging and counter-intuitive. Or am I overlooking a very good argument in favour?

Yes Jack5 – a top comment. And meanwhile, we have one of the most significant electoral corruption cases in NZs history, where the accused has crown-granted name suppression and story hides away, with almost complete absence from our MSM. Henry is the fall guy, while real sleaze and corruption passes quietly below the radar. When will NZs wake up to this?

Rex Widerstromg (2.16 post).

The only rationale I can see for talking up the dollar is to allow us to renew debt cheaply and raise new debt cheaply.

It may also relate to the maturing of tranches of overseas debt brought in by the trading banks from Tokyo and Europe. This has mostly gone to feed the property bubble.

The Tokyo mums (who manage Japanese household savings) took on currency risk in return for NZ’s relatively high interest rates compared with Tokyo’s near-zero rates. So they effectively bought NZ dollars If the banks want them to buy new samurai bonds to send money to NZ on the same basis, they can’t let the Tokyo ladies lose capital from a low kiwi dollar when it’s time to return their money to Japan.

It seems to me a high kiwi would thus facilitate the banks raising new money from Japanese (and other foreign) savers by preventing losses on earlier issues. Whose going to send money to NZ for high interest rates if last time they did this, currency movement more than wiped out the return?

Similarly with Govt debt. If we’re rolling over debt that came it at NZD equals US50c we can make handsomely on the deal if we repay at US75c. Some banker or maths person might kindly correct me, but it seems that if we borrow $US1 billion with the kiwi at NZ50c we get $NZ2 billion. If we repay this when the kiwi is at US75c we repay $NZ1.333 billion

As a grandson of a scotsman who came here from Clydeside in the 1870s, with a paternal Australian Grandmother who was possibly descended from stock hand picked by leading members of the English Judiciary and on my mothers side having Celts who were victims of the Highland Clearances who came to Lyttelton in the early 1850s I am a NEW ZEALANDER who has only that simple ethnicity on any questionaire I am asked to complete.
I am firmly in the camp that supports Paul Henry in all his irreverence on NZ TV. I am at a complete loss as to why all those who would have his head removed at Tyburn for representing how I, and if the polls are accurate, a significant portion of our population, feel about this wonderful country. We have a lame duck person with a name that does not have a familial feel to me, basicly having no Issue with a comment that has me committing a hienous crime in my relationship with my late mother, made by an elected member of the highest court in my country. We have two radio jocks on air every weekday at noon who are blatently racist. A political party that exists for one single reason, to promote Maori as a superior race in this country. We have several (a majority in fact) political parties existing to promote a lifestyle of indolence by significant numbers of our citizens, producing no wealth but being funded by a diminishing number of wealth creators. We have protestors damaging public property at a cost of millions of dollars. We have a rising level of violence, drug use and other criminal actions. And now a significant attack on our local body electoral system that a substandard member of our judiciary deems necessary to perpetrate for the last few days of voting by supressing the connections to prominent candidates in the first super city elections.
AND WHEN ONE PERSON SAYS THINGS IN A MAINSTREAM MEDIA THAT HAVE A RESONANCE WITH HOW I FEEL AT TIMES, EVERY PUBLICALLY FUNDED BOTTOM DWELLER WANTS TO TAKE HIM TO CALVARY AND NAIL HIM TO A COUPLE OF BITS OF WOOD AND KILL HIM BY DEHYDRATION.

Yes I am shouting because I am very very upset. FFS the next useless bastard selected to fill the entirely unnecessary office of Govenor General does NOT!!! have to be another sop to some minority group who has sucked at the public trough for their entire working life. Geez the current occupant of GOVT HOUSE did not even have a spare minute of his time or any of the army of flunkeys who hang on his coat-tails to acknowledge a plea by me, a common citizen of his country begging him to ask the corrupt Clark regime to reconsider the draconian law circumscribing my rights of free speach in the shameful electoral reform law that has been subsequently overturned with his “ROYAL ASSENT. They could not even find the time to acknowledge its reciept.
Why does Rhodesia, sorry Zimbabwe, seem almost bloody normal.

Interesting link. Thanks.

The UK is the most surveilled population on earth. I can’t help but think, why?

I’d like to go to “Mahattir the Musical” joana.

I quite like Dr Mahathir.

RightNow 3:37 pm,

Is this the sequel of the 10:10 campaign video? “No Pressure 2: The Final Solution”?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmBnVjy4vag&feature=player_embedded

Absolute classic, RightNow.
I especially liked the end bit where the teacher has a beautific expression at the realisation that her work is done.
The thing is, half of the green loonies want nothing less than the human race to disappear off the face of the earth … not just those ‘guilty’ of having large carbon footprints.

No I haven’t joana but geopolitically I watched it grow into a powerful regional player with efficient infrastructure and administration under Mahathir and that’s why I like him. I also like Lee Kuan Yee for the same reason re: Singapore.

I recognise neither nation is oriented ideally indeed I have in the past referred to Singapore as a velvet-glove democracy. The fact I recognise their shortcomings as I do in every other country I think about however doesn’t stop me and shouldn’t stop anyone from recognising other dimensions.

Here is a big surprise, not!

Cabinet leak culprit not found
By TRACY WATKINS – Stuff
Last updated 15:27 06/10/2010

The State Services Commission has been unable to find the culprit behind the leaking of sensitive Cabinet decisions.

After issuing a report today, State Services Commissioner Iain Rennie said two investigations had been launched following the unauthorised disclosure of information from a cabinet paper on mining and a subsequent leak involving a further cabinet paper on state sector agencies.

Ready for NZ to head back into recession?

New Zealand’s GDP grew by a paltry 0.2% in the June quarter and will probably be negative in September. This puts New Zealand back in the recessionary zone – hardly the environment where the Reserve Bank should be raising interest rates. The Reserve Bank’s previous (now revised) annual GDP growth predictions of 3.7% were grossly optimistic (wrong).

The fact that you equate Mahattir with Lee Kuan Yew shows how little you know and understand about these two men. I too admire Lee Kuan Yew.

So why don’t you admire Mahathir?

“Frankly welfare universalism is a political con, it makes no sense economically and the logic of it is entirely cynical. The left wants to get the middle-classes to buy in to the welfare state, to do that they have to bind the middle-classes in. The left argues – quite openly – that if the middle-classes don’t see any benefits from the welfare state they’ll vote against it. It would be far more efficient to tax people less rather than hand them a little back after their taxes have passed through the hands of bureaucrats.”

Well now it seems that not just Maori are lagging behind in schools. Its reported that boys are going backwards under the current system with NCEA results showing this.
About time we reappraised the school system and its feminist control and agenda. Boys and young men, both Maori and Pakeha are being disadvantaged by the system, much as they are in the area of youth unemployment.
How the hell this country expects to grow its business, its exports and its community when we continue to disengage and disenfranchise the male population is a question worth an answer?

DPF; You have often expressed the same thoughts about youth rates so do we think its time we stood up for the males in our country and made it a constant subject of debate. It seems so often when I talk to people about this,both men and women with sons who are average good citizens, that they empathize with the issue. It just seems that teachers and politicians don’t.

Boys fall further behind in NCEA
By JOHN HARTEVELT – The Dominion Post
Last updated 05:00 07/10/2010

Boys are lagging further behind girls in school achievement, with new results showing that a double-digit gender gap has opened up.

Education Ministry figures show that, in last year’s National Certificate of Education Achievement, 50 per cent of girls passed level 3, but only 37 per cent of boys did. At level 2, 74.1 per cent of girls passed, and 65.7 per cent of boys.

Good call Viking. Boys are underachieving, Maori are underachieving, and Maori boys are more likely to end up in prison highlighting the worst of this educational failure. But parental failure must be recognised as a major contributor as well.

For education to work it has to be interesting. I don’t know how much it has changed but I was as bored as hell at school and left because of that. I could easily have gone on the higher achievement – but I was one of the lucky ones who was able to manage in the system, I suspect more and more boys just can’t be bothered trying. Somehow they need to be inspired to learn, and need subjects that will retain interest. That ain’t easy.

Don’t forget rascist Viking.
The MOE is looking at how schools fail or succeed with Maori kids as a special mark of their success.

I think all kids who fail are of equal value and as Kiwis we need to pressure the government to deal to this racist outlook as all our kids are important to us regardless of gender and race.

The Feminists are emasculating males as fast as they can.

Boys are now been censured for being boys in class, and what bloke would think that teaching makes sense in the PC age?

This is a deliberate and cynical plan to control all males. They probably want us to be Lesbians as well!

sorry I haven’t got much time to write on here at present but will make a few comments..there is a definite madness about Mahathir..hard to describe or pin point but definitely there..Probably people would say he is a complex character..charming , educated , intelligent in a certain way. A relation of mine met him decades ago..I think he was impressed..He would have been gracious..but then graciousness is a Malaysian cultural tradition to this day.
It could well be that he got worse over time in the theme that ” absolute power corrupts absolutely..”
Even tho he so totally championed the Malay cause thru UMNO , he is part Indian…I think his father was an Indian school teacher , so he had a huge advantage over the majority of Malays of his generation..Indian intelligence and Indian emphasis on education. He has written about his early days with his father…will write more later.
