Filmed yourself doing a one-man Mexican Wave in your All Black jersey yet Keeping Stock?

Sorry to disappoint you Longknives, but no, I haven’t. The current All Blacks jersey is a bit of a slim fit for my figure; I prefer to hide the bulges rather than accentuate them 😀

It seems to me that, if the Council is right, Penny has either deliberately lied about receiving the affidavit, or, and more likely, she didn’t bother to look through the papers properly. If the latter is right, it suggests she really isn’t interested in arguing the merits of her case.

Good point, fernglas, but I’m wondering how anyone who hasn’t bothered to look through the papers properly could assure the District Court that she had not received the one in question.

We’ll have to wait until Penny has consulted with her lawyer(s), and provides us with her explanation – or supplies the Court with her abject apology. If it’s the latter, she had better learn how to grovel to the required standard. Courts don’t take kindly to being given false testimony – it’s called perjury, and it’s a very serious crime in our kind of judicial system.

Council subsequently located an email from Ms Bright sent in May to a wide range of recipients confirming that she had in fact received the affidavit. Council this afternoon drew Ms Bright’s attention to the email and suggested that in the circumstances it would be appropriate for her to write to the Court advising that she was mistaken in her recollection.

When Penny has written to a bunch of people saying she had in fact had received the affidavit its a lil tricky for her to then deny receiving the affidavit isnt it?

She must think people are that stupid that they would trust her? LOL LOL

I see Helen Kelly is asking for the legalization of cannabis oil for her cancer pain.

Now I have no particular worry about the medical use of cannabis as long as cannabis oil does not become the default medication for pain.

if I am in serious pain I want opiates… morphine and co.

I know longer trust lefties and the way they have buggered up health care in NZ for young mums with their trendy middle-class views (no GPs delivering babies, no week-2week stay in hospital after birth, no karitane nurses for mums with twins, no home visits from Plunket nurses, etc….).
Damned if I want them dictating health “care” in my dotage.

Some people have a horrific reaction to opiates Maggy .
You might not be feeling pain as such but projectile vomiting is not very comfortable.
In the case of terminal Cancer any medication that helps the patent should be allowed.,
Cannabis has an advantage for cancer patients as it enhances the appetite.

If this, http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/life/69105288/Union-stalwart-Helen-Kelly-on-cancer-dying-and-bad-access-to-good-medicine is what you’re referring to then Ms Kelly doesn’t seem to be promoting cannabis for its analgesic properties.

Rather, since she has had four courses of chemotherapy, she has probably seen what that does to most people. The constant retching suffered by most chemotherapy patients can be controlled by the same cannabinoids that give dope smokers the “munchies”.

Our political masters are so afraid of NZ’s religious conservatives that they would rather people starved to death than were treated by something the nutjobs don’t like.

I can’t recall the breweries ever holding much political clout in NZ. Rather they & the tobacco industries were milked unmercifully for the taxes the various governments have wanted to fund their wish lists.

For sheer terror you couldn’t go much past that the Nats had for the FOL or that of Labour for Federated Farmers or the Business Roundtable.

Organised Godbotherering is a pox on both their houses.

No issue of perjury arises unless she was giving evidence on oath (or affirmation). If, as appears to be the case, she definitely received the affidavit in question, there can very little doubt that she mislead the court. The only question is whether it was deliberate or inadvertant.

Her argument was that she had no recollection of receiving the document. She was sufficiently assertive that she had not received it that she said that it was another example to the council not doing things correctly. If she perceived the affidavit as of no real relevance or consequence in the context of the proceedings or failed to appreciate its significance, she may well have overlooked its receipt. If, however, it had sufficient impact to justify comment in email, then that seems unlikely.

On the other hand, if it was critical, and she had in fact received and read it, one would be hard persuaded to accept that the “failure to recall” inadvertant.

Unfortunately we do not have enough facts to draw any conclusions –a situation in which her ladyship thrives by prefacing every possible adverse conclusion with her catchcry “arguably”.

Frankly, I would have thought that someone so intolerant of lapses from anyone else would have fronted with some explanation.

Interesting that she refers to her wish to talk “to lawyers” — not “get legal advice” or consult “my lawyers”. For all we know, she may want to talk to council lawyers or some bush lawyer from her bingo team.

Assuming that the council can prove service, I assume that its solicitors will be making application for costs on a full indemnity basis in relation to the adjourned hearing and will be diligent to ensure that it will cross every “t” and dot every “i”, and seek to recover full costs on any other procedural matter on the basis that it cannot rely of the integrity that counsel normal expect from each other and which avoids silly, technical points that have no real bearing on the litigation.

In the meantime, in the absence of any genuine explanation, her credibility has been shot to hell and gone (to use a tachnical legal term).

Time to front, Penelope Bright.

From The Herald

Ms Bright describes herself as a “full-time, self-funded public watchdog [and] whistle-blower”. She sometimes adds “anti-corruption” to that resume. Corruption is a serious slur on any public body and that was the term that appears to have brought the response from Mr Town, who has not been running the Auckland Council very long. He will have discovered Ms Bright is impossible to satisfy and not necessarily always polite.

Penny did herself no favours by the way she personally targeted John Banks. (Do you remember her “dodgyjohnhasgone” sign-off?)

Penny also does herself no favours by the way she continues to personally target John Key. (Did you know that he’s a Bank of America shareholder?)

She uses a toxic combination of tenuous associations (guilt by association) to smear her opponents. And, as recently seen on Kiwiblog, she threatens to sue people for defamation when she doesn’t like what they say.

Nosty, by all means disagree with her positions and as you know, so do I.

But taking delight in her reaping the consequences of her actions in the way you guys have above, is sadistic.

Would you do the same if NZ passed laws like Germany has and I was sent to prison for what I have, do and would continue to say about Israel even if they did pass such laws?

That’s my point. And Penny’s position is no different.

Like I said, by all means disagree with her.

But taking pleasure in her reaping the consequences is no different from baying wolves.

As I’ve said before, I think that Penny should have made ex-gratia payments whilst maintaining her position. My ex-gratia payment on my Jewish argument is and always has been that it’s not the people it’s their leaders who are criminals. And that is my genuine belief same as its Penny’s genuine belief the council has something to answer for.

Perhaps Penny is less able to see how to negotiate a position of principle than I.

But that in itself doesn’t make her deserving of condemnation, does it.

That’s my point.

When will the Auckland Council act and get off it’s arse to recover costs and penalties on the hovel in Kingsland.
It’s now been about 8 years and really not fair at all on other ratepayers. If the council do win and is awarded payment and full costs, there may not be much left for Penny when the hovel is sold.
In saying that, i hope it doesn’t come down to this…..

Nadir, Reid?

Do you mean that she is on the verge of losing her home? Or do you mean that her latest fumbling/tactic in court?
I think there is a difference. I will not take any delight in seeing her home sold if it goes that far. Unfortunately, there is an air of inevetitability about that and it is not of the council’s making. I have considerable difficulty seeing how the court will construe the rating legislation as allowing the with holding of rates on the ground of any perceived grievance over council expenditure.

If, on the other hand, you mean the sizzling hotbed of coals upon which she has lain in court then, apart from personal abuse, she deserves all the criticism she gets. While the jury is still out on her complicity in deceiving the court, recent events suggest that it is time she got down off her high horse and stopped attributing malevolence or bad faith to all and sundry. Her 1.08 post connecting a Groser/council meeting with corruption is a classic example.
It was not that long ago that she was rabidly quoting a theory that Pike River was the direct and calculaated outcome of a conspiracy involving the PM and international bankers to bring about open cast mining.
It won’t be long, god forbid, that she will suggest that Key’s ownership of BoA shares (did everyone know that he has them? I think Nosty may have mentioned it) dictated that tenor of the TPPA negotiations and that Key was all out to increase their value through the TPPA.

The former. Try it yourself. See how you like it. Betcha don’t.

Imagine say, if (say you have kids), and for whatever reason, you had to make a choice between losing them, or losing your home. And the authorities were trying to take them.

That’s the strength of the point of principle Penny is standing on.

Yes I know it’s wrong. Yes I know it’s not like that. But there’s a reason in her own head why she’s taken it this far and won’t give up, that’s why I’m using the kids analogy. It’s that important, whatever it is, to her.

Actually, reid, the last thing I have been doing has been laughing at the likely loss of her home and I made that quite clear in the post that your cited (the very next sentences — the ones you chose not to reproduce). The sale of her house is a long way from reality. Even if council gets judgment, it has said that it will not sell for at least 6 months. Anything could happen between then and now. Despite that, I do not think it warrants the gloating that has been going on. I can, however, see why she irritates people and provokes them.
If you are suggesting that her critics should lay off because you see some diminished capability, why dont you come out and say so? I don’t see it that way. She has been down this road previously. It doesn’t work. She knows that. It’s a publicity stunt.

As I said, it is time to get off her high horse and engage in reasonable – and rational- discourse.

So Penny posts:

errrr…. I thought it was a quite straightforward question Nostradamus?

Are small ‘facilitation payments’ (bribe$) ok with you – yes or no?

Maybe not such a straightforward question someone who may have made ‘facilitation payments’ and not seen them as ‘bribe$ ?

Is that your situation Nostradamus?

Paid a few ‘grease’ payments yourself – or defended others who have?

Just asking…..

I’m saying regardless of her position it’s obvious she believes sincerely in it and as she suffers the consequences of said position it doesn’t befit any of you to engage in what you were engaging in above.

I seem to recall that she repeatedly accused Banks of electoral fraud despite the fact that he was not charged with electoral fraud, despite the fact that the judge specifically stated that the facts did not amount to electoral fraud and despite the fact that these matters were brought to her attention on more than one occasion.

I suggest that there is room to argue that some of her comments are despicable, rude, nasty or whatever perjorative you may wish to confer. Penny gets off by being offensive.

Oh, really, Reid? What specific part of what I was doing above savaged your sensibilities and should have been left out?

You are talking a bit of cock Reid, you seem to be agreeing with us but then you say this further up the thread….

“And you guys are standing round in the playground and just laughing. Well, fuck you, is all I’m saying”.

Reid, I find those statements re Penny, quite gentlemanly. I hope Penny has the grace to thank you. My opinion is that Penny will not. AS for any appArent crowing, surely it is merely anticipatory, there is much water to go under the bridge yet. Penny can put As halt to it whenever she likes. I think it gives her purpose and publicity.

Penny might be interested:

Key was one of more than 300 people at a gala dinner and charity auction. The black-tie event was hosted by Rachel Smalley at SkyCity’s Auckland Room.
…
Key donated an afternoon tea for six people at his Helensville electorate office and the Kiri Nathan-designed dress Smalley is wearing will also be auctioned.

One would think that sitting down with John Key over scones and jam, rather than sending him an “open letter” that no one reads let alone takes seriously, is a better idea. She could also find out exactly how many Bank of America shares he holds (as she doesn’t seem to know) and whether the prospect of a conflict of interest (as a result of holding those shares) causes him to have sleepness nights.

I’ve just realised there’s another problem Stigie: the event is being held at SkyCity.

Penny has decribed SkyCity as – and I quote her words exactly – a “money-laundering factory”.

So it’s unlikely that Penny would want to be associated with an event at SkyCity – even if it was for a good public cause.

Rachel Smalley is Auctioning off a dress she has worn??
Most people wouldn’t know her if they fell over her on the street! I only really took any notice when she started on this bizarre ‘Islam is Great’ kick the Herald are ramming down our throats almost daily…

I think that’s to appeal to the cross-dressing demographic, Longknives. D4J might be able to enlighten us a bit as – so the rumour on Kiwiblog goes – he’s involved in some kind of shoe shop venture.

The arrogance of the english rugby commentators continues.
Now they’re saying ‘Oh well, maybe Scotland can win it for us.’
Us???
No wonder Scotland want independence.

The religion of peace never rests: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/10/turkey-suicide-bomb-killed-in-ankara

At least 86 people have been killed and up to 150 wounded in the deadliest terror attack in Turkey’s history after two explosions targeted a peace rally in the centre of the capital. According to the pro-Kurdish HDP party, the death total stands at 97.

Turkish government officials said the explosions were a terrorist attack carried out by suicide bombers but no group has yet claimed responsibility. Turkey’s prime minister, Ahmet Davutoğlu, was holding emergency meetings with government officials and security chiefs on Saturday afternoon.
