Labour’s $25 ‘tourist tax’ is a brilliant policy. Watch the voters go for it.

On the announcement, TV1’s newsroom was on message, using stock pictures of the despised Asians taking photographs.

All those kiwis who have been overjoyed to find human shit in their local beauty spots, not to mention nearly getting wiped out by foreign drivers on our roads etc will go for this big time.

For years, local and central administrations have studiously ignored calls for more spending in the provinces (classic case Franz Josef) to alleviate the problems tourists bring, so National will now pay for it at the ballot box.

  Those tourists fowling up the provinces are also spending money in them. Be careful what you wish for…
  
  (And I’m not advocating more tourists, just that it’s not as simple as ‘they come here, shit in our bushes, and we get nothing for it’).

    Yeah foreign bloody tourists. They can’t drive for shit.
    
    Tourism as an industry does fuck all to raise the quality of living for NZ. It probably damages it.
    
    You can actually drink the water in NZ unlike that shithole China or most of Asia. $25 is too cheap. Should be $100.

      Again, the net benefits are there. So it’s not that simple.
      
      And before we go bashing Johnny Foreigner, we’re pretty fucking bad drivers ourselves…a fact I am repeatedly reminded of when driving to work every morning…and that’s just my driving! 😉

        Slightly tongue in cheek.
        
        But tourism is a bit of a lame industry. It is bit of a sell out when a country has a chicken shit economy through over taxation and regulation. Easy for the mongs in Wellington to get tourists numbers coming here so it boosts the low wage economy. But it really doesn’t add anything to NZ. It’s bit of a racket overall. Especially mass tourism

        Simon, did I understand you to describe New Zealand as a country with “a chicken sh*t economy through over taxation and regulation”?
        
        Would you like to name three countries which have lower taxation and less regulation, and as a result stronger economies, than New Zealand has?

        As for that low-wage economy…I like to call it lunch, dinner, etc. While we’re starting to see improving productivity in traditionally low skilled areas (I mean, let’s face it, we’ve been trying to get food services more productive since they invented drive throughs…) that still has some kinks to work out. But, irrespective, having food choice is a good thing. I doubt you’re going to win any votes going, ‘Bugger foreigners, we want to eat a diet of mutton and to drink pure NZ water…all day, every day…and you can maybe have some pancakes, but no bananas, as they’re grown by wogs’.

        Would you like to name three countries which have lower taxation and less regulation, and as a result stronger economies, than New Zealand has?
        
        Taxation can’t be isolated a factor in stronger economies than NZ, but here are three countries: Canada, Singapore, Switzerland.
        
        As for NZ’s comparative wealth …
        
        On three measures – the IMF and World Bank (2016) and the UN (2015) – NZ is 21st, 19th, and 24th in GDP per capita. (It’s interesting that NZ GDP per capital fell in each of the last two reported quarters.)

      Are you a tea or coffee person? Do you enjoy going out to nice restaurants that serve quality food?
      Have you travelled to places overseas? Did your ancestors, (no matter what race) come from overseas?
      These are simple questions but if a “yes” answer I would remind you that we have overseas people (tourists) to thank for these things. Early NZ prior to anyone living here did not offer those things. It wasn’t that great with the early settlors either. Muttonbird anyone.
      Not until tourism both NZers travellign and other people coming to NZ did we start to get the things we enjoy on a daily basis i.e. the flat white coffee etc.,
      The socialists want diversity, well tourists bring that.

Not sure if this particular conspiracy raised its head yesterday; I have a lazy fiver that says Winston leaked the information to Newsgrub to raise his profile, make himself relevant, put himself at the top of the news read as all the ‘political news’ seemed to be everywhere but on him.

  Given his potential role as kingmaker, it seems unlikely that either National or Labour would want to shaft him – at least not at this stage.

        Winston Peters has been trumpeting how well he was doing in the polls with his internal Polling and when the news of Shane Reti being streets a head of Shane Jones surfaced and some saying Peters will be lucky to retain his seat things showed maybe National might be able to get close all of a sudden NZ First bargaining power was being reduced, so I believe he has set the hit up on himself because the landscape was about to change.

    Winnie screaming his privacy has been breached is a bit rich considering the number of times Winston has leaked info on others.
    
    Winston has been in politics for over 40 years and knows how this would play out. Perhaps he saw a way to go from being under the gun to the victim of a privacy breach.
    
    I can hear him chuckling from here. ?

    Wait and see if he sues, that might answer our question. If he takes no legal action, and Winnie is keen on lawyers then maybe we can look direct at Winston and his camp as the “leaker”.

  There is another factor that the inept pinko media have failed.
  This old aged person has been on the take for seven years. And now claims
  It was a clerical error or some such bullshit.
  From what I understand. If you are on the old age pension.
  You have to fill out yearly declaration.
  So the doddery old fool would have known for at least 6 years.
  That there was a so called clerical error.

  Here’s my conspiracy theory. The leaker was Peter Dunne. IRD would also have been aware of the issue, so it seems reasonable to assume that he would have been briefed under the ‘no surprises’ policy. And his good friend, Andrea Vance, seems to know quite a bit about it.
  
  Watch for Dunne to pick up a nice sinecure if Labour wins. Something like…….chairing an enquiry into NZ’s constitutional arrangements, and the changes required to become a republic.

I am not against tourists either, they bring forex but your last line is precisely how many people think.

‘They come here, they shit in the bushes, we get nothing for it’

$2 billion in GST, all National had to do was visibly send a bit of it back to the high profile tourist areas and build a few bogs.

They didn’t, so they’re a bit snookered now eh.

  And those people need to be educated. Personally, I don’t really like tourists (they get in the way, they don’t follow our customs, etc.). However, my personal irritations are outweighed by massive economic benefit.
  
  I don’t like watching farm animals being slaughtered (prefer hunting), but I love blue steaks. The people who bubble-wrap themselves need to see what is going on.

      Too many tourists becomes a form of pollution and warps the economy . It is a fickle industry – I travelled to Guatamala just after the USA economy collapsed . The American hordes stop visiting the year I did. It was awful to see the locals trekking in overburdened with their tourist wares to set up on the endless streetside markets and to see the empty eating places and no one arriving to buy- except 3 kiwis ! Tourism levels have to be carefully controlled and I do not see any evidence of this in the policies being promoted at the moment.

Does anyone else think Peters has orchestrated coverage of this whole Super over payment matter. After all he has been starved for media attention since the advent of Comrade Taxinda.

He has nothing to lose knowing a compliant media could be easily led to point the finger at National.

A devious man in full flight doing what comes naturally to him.

    You dont think the ‘old cheque’ came out of thin air do you the last time national discredited Peters !
    
    The rational for national undermining him is to only give him one choice when it comes to coalition partners. If he got a large vote, say over 12%, then he can play king maker.
    Under 8% then it looks like national might be the only choice.
    Remember his voters are likely to go to national if they peel off !

If the person that should know more about Superannuation than any one else in NZ can’t correctly fill out a form about his entitlements correctly he is clearly unfit to be in government.
Alternatively if it was knowingly filled out wrongly to his financial advantage then he should go the way of all fraudsters.
Either way: gaga or crooked the “kingmaker” has no clothes.

  I thought he was trying to blame is on someone in MSD tampering with the form.
  
  Quite a stretch to claim that someone was so set against him that they intercepted the form before it was processed, risked their job to tamper with it, then did nothing for seven years until now.

Housing Affordability Fires Up New Zealand’s Voters – Bloomberg

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-08-29/kiwis-defeated-by-crazy-house-prices-create-vote-battleground

• Nation’s home ownership has fallen to lowest level since 1951

• Ardern’s resurgent opposition party makes housing key issue

When Olivia Hollywood began hunting for her first house in Wellington early last year, she was optimistic that half a million New Zealand dollars ($362,000) would get her on the property ladder.

After eight months attending packed viewings and watching homes auctioned at vastly inflated prices, Hollywood and her partner abandoned their search. Since then, average prices in the Wellington area have gained another 13 percent to exceed NZ$607,000. The couple is among thousands of Kiwis for whom home ownership is looking increasingly distant.

“It was frustrating for us because we did expect it was going to be quite easy,” said Hollywood, 24. “We decided it was just too crazy for us and we’d rather sit tight for a couple of years and save up a bit more.”

As ownership falls to the lowest since 1951, housing affordability is firing up voters ahead of New Zealand’s general election on Sept. 23. The government is under attack for failing to respond to price surges that have forced many to ditch their property dreams. New Labour leader Jacinda Ardern has made housing a key issue, helping restore the main opposition party in opinion polls and leaving the election too close to call. … read more via hyperlink above …

    “This is further evidence of how ridiculous the Auckland housing situation has got. When this government came in in 2008, Auckland housing was 6.4 times household income. When Nick Smith was appointed in early 2013 it was 6.7 times household incomes. Today it is 10 times.

  I doubt that very much. She is going to save the country from damnation and hell and there is going to be no more ‘poverdy’, no more homeless people, no more people dying from smoking synthetic cannabis, uni students will be taking amazing overseas holidays using their student loans etc. etc. Jacinda is, indeed, the most desired miracle worker NZ has ever seen since NZ began. If there is such a word as “Messiahress’ then surely Jacinda will soon be wearing that tiara.

It is remarkable Ian Binnie’s command of detail in his interview with Kim Hill. But here is what he says towards the end.

KH:
It sounds like you have been waiting for your day ’not in court’ for a while.
IB:
I don’t think there’s been a case in my career when I feel that the process has been so deficient and operated so unfairly and I think, too, the extent that the case is known now outside New Zealand, it’s given New Zealand a black eye.

A black eye alright.

Meanwhile the private prosecution of a secret witness for perjury and perverting the course of justice, whose testimony convicted David Wayne Tamihere of the murder of two young Swedes in 1989, races towards an inevitable conclusion. David spent 20 years in jail for a crime he didn’t do, and as usual, we know who did.
Not a police man or woman in court to be reminded of how their force was disgraced by the actions of the late John Hughes.

    The name I have is Huia George Foley. He is dead fortunately.
    But if you kill people and steal their car, don’t drive people around the Coromandel Peninsula for days after in that car. Someone may be looking for it, and the questions become awkward if stopped by the clever police.
    And furthermore, do not tell your fellow inmates you Donald Ducked the young man, tied him to a tree, killed him, took is body out to sea, and then sexually violated the young woman for days after before killing her. It sounds bad when repeated in court to a jury.
    That is what witness C claimed David Tamihere told him, verbatim. And the jury and 5 man appeal board believed him, which is sad.

Winston is playing chess again.
Suggest that when it became known that he over collected his pension due to his own incompetence in being unable to fill in a simple form, then go all out to blame the National Party, and in particularly English, who he not forgiven over the leaked emails in the Dipton affair as Winston not listened to (Yet).
By so doing he is trying this morning in a conciliatory way, I suggest, that if National have to deal with him then he will be in demanding position with English on the back foot.
Interesting, possibly clever, Gambit !

Heard Helen Clark’s silly little girl Ardern say joined at the hip Lie-bour /Green Party don’t do dirty politics. Was wondering what they have been doing to their running mates the Green Party in the last month.
Acting like Praying Mantises,they have virtually cannibalized their “mates” the Green Party.
Seems the present association really is in fact who is joined at the hip,appears it is Helen Clark /Ardern,NZs answer to crooked Hillary Clinton, as both of them set out to win the election any which way by acting like goody two shoes,see no evil ,hear no evil, speak no evil.Yet sneakily behind the scenes,they have quietly cruzified the Green Party,in their quest for power,with dirty filthy politics a speciality.

I see the National Party and the Labour Party are into a “race to the bottom” with their spending plans. The redeeming feature for National (and it is only a minor redemption) is that they’ll have costed their policies and will leave the projected tax cuts in place. Labour are pandering to young voters/ students at the expense of workers at every level of the market and pay scales. I fear a drop in the $ should Labour get home in September, once the $ drops interest rates will climb and we’ll have a genuine housing crisis on our hands as those young voters confront their mortgage repayments at interest rates unseen for a decade. We “lucky” baby-boomers have been there and done this while our first mortgage rates hovered around 17-20% in the 1980s. In short Labour will send this country to hell. Be wary!

  “I fear a drop in the $ should Labour get home in September”
  
  The dollar has already started to slide, based on the market’s fear that an incompetent Labour Govt., led by a shallow, inexperienced poster girl, will actually con enough dumb voters to get into power.

  No, no housing crisis, the bright young things wanting a house will head overseas where the grass will appear greener. Labour has done this before. Solves some problems.
  However the tax base gets less and those depending on the handout remain and unfortunately there will be nothing in the kitty to pay their benefits.

  If as it appears likely that when Labour are in charge, correctly it is said that the dollar will drop then all out imports will go up suddenly, at the same time as immigration becomes again emigration of our brightest overseas.
  But taking my personal view my overseas pension (taxed in NZ) and investments in term deposits will go up as fast as mortgages will.
  It is my children’s mortgage repayments that will be a concern but they are not over extended and should be able to handle.
  Many will really feel the punch – but that is history repeating itself.
  Why do we never learn ?

Did Peters leak info on himself?

Probably, YES.

It would be in line with his previous devious actions, including the infamous “No”, and his diversion of $158,000 of taxpayer funds.

The other issue is the nasty campaign in some quarters to denigrate W English simply because he became leader and Prime Minister ahead of an other Minister ….All dating back to Michelle Boag and her devious actions. Nasty and silly

Is it just my thoughts that Lydia Ko should not have dumped her original Kiwi golf coach?

It seems to me the new flash talking fancy pants coaches have caused her game to collapse.

    She dumped him because daddy told her to. In an interview he said it was either daddy or him. He would tell he something to do to improve he swing and daddy would chip in in Korean and she should say “No I dont want to do that”
    He drop in form has corresponded with mum and dad coming on the tour. Also she has grown up and her social life has changed. Mum and Dad did not approve.

      Precisely this. I was in Macca’s after she won the NZ Open prior to turning pro. Ko and her family were there and her Dad was analysing her hole by hole performance and commenting to her on it.
      
      Her father is the main cause of her form issues – she spends more time focusing on (trying) pleasing him than on her game.

    Actually I’m not sure. It seemed to me that she wanted to trade up at the time.
    But, maybe you’re right… although, he might have just said that to make himself feel better?
    
    Hopefully she can regain form though. Still an amazing golfer even with the declining results.

  The young lady has changed a lot of things. She now wears contacts, that will make a difference to how she sees the ball when addressing it, depending on what type of sight she has. If I wear my contacts I can’t see things close, they are for distance.
  She has also grown a lot taller, hence her swing will be somewhat different.
  However the main thing I believe is that she is trying to study as well as play golf. Michelle Wie tried that and in the end decided to finish her degree and then return to golf.
  I think Lydia needs to do one or the other. Both study and golf take up a lot of head room and concentration, difficult to do both things at once.

  I wouldn’t have a clue what has caused this drop off in form, but when I hear about young people like her who seem to carry the family on their shoulders I’m reminded of the young Pacifika kid I read about last year or the year before.
  He was obviously a bit of a prodigy at school and was signed up by the Warriors. Committed suicide for some reason; and he wasn’t the first.

I am concerned at the promotion of Ardern using images associated with our Monarch. Misplaced pride.

The furious announcements of ~~voter bribes~~ policies and rewards with ignorance of costs could endanger her health too.

The more bubbly and manic Jacinda becomes the lower she will go and the longer the recovery. Is she bipolar?

The only winner will be the one standing in twelve months time.

At 5.20 am this morning Rachel Smalley on Nestalk ZB, jumped the shark,and put the boot into the sickening waste of education bribe by the thirsty for power and domination the Labour Party. Smalley didn’t hold back,as she did her editorial.
She pointed the finger at the present behind the scenes tactician Helen Clark,whom in a master stroke in 2005 bribed the voters with interest “free” student loans,and is now back visiting the well.
Unfortunately with Clarks 2005 bribe, NZs taxpayers now have a virtually out of control student loan debt of circa Fifteen Billion Dollars. With her latest plan to steal the election again ,with more so called “free” money for students,an extra six billion dollars has been mentioned.
Rachel Smalley thought,that that type of bribe should have gone into health.She was also very bitter and aghast and remenbered in the reign of Helen Clark,there were no hospital waiting lists,only because Clark made it compulsory by making sure they were cancelled. Sadly by her political act to remain in power,even to this day,the thousands of people who Clark had removed from the lists,either died or are in bad health ,what an indictment,of a power hungry potential no holds barred Labour Goverment.

So. Winston’s up in arms and talking to Lawyers about his breach of privacy. I agree, the details of his superannuation are private and confidential and not for leaking. However, Winston needs to make it clear how he came into possession of private txts and, as a result, has been threatening to release them. Can’t have it both ways Winston. Someone leaked private information to you and you’ve been playing cat and mouse with that info and you’re now threatening legal action to the someone you think has leaked your private info into the public area. Pot calling the kettle black springs to mind…….
I would have thought, also, Winston, you would need to be very clear and confident of the source of your leaked private info before you start pointing the finger of blame at individuals. Even a Lawyer should understand that.

    No, she doesn’t. She even stood for Labour in a rather rural area when she was 24 years old. So she had to talk to farmers and they obviously didn’t like her then and they still don’t like her now. She’s a very negative individual and I fear she sees the world watermelon tinted glasses. In fact, I’d go far as saying she’s hardcore crazy……..

California could become the U.S. state with the most fluid definition of gender on its official state IDs if a bill making its way through the legislature becomes law.

The California Senate has already passed SB179, which would introduce a third gender option for state identification. Currently, driver’s licenses and other forms of official identification only contain options for male or female. The bill would allow a third option, which would likely be ‘X,’ according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

anyone know when we can expect to see the next poll? Hopefully Jacinda has plateaued and the drop back can start soon

  I don’t get the Jacinda thing. She seems a bit superficial. I don’t get a sense of authority about her.

        I would agree with you there. I’ve always said she has poor listening skills, doesn’t answer the question. Turns the conversation in another direction entirely. It’s ‘all about me’. A right little agitator.
        Imagine how arrogant she’d be if she were to be invited to meet the Queen? Her (Jacinda’s) lack of style and grace would be shown up rather well. After all, she’s talking ‘republican’ and make no mistake about it, that will be on her agenda for the future.

WO is a total wanker. In a blog this morning he is asking “who knew about Winston”. A day or two ago he was crowing that the information was leaked to him before the MSM. He said he got it on a friday but because he was fact checking he did not use it until monday. The leaker when not seeing it used on the weekend leaked it to the MSM.
If you know who the leaker was why not let us know where (not who) it came from. All journalists ( sorry calling WO a journalist) are total pricks. They all know who leaked the information but are spinning the story out to damage the government. Boyle and Hughes should have the blow torch applied for their hit job on the Ministers.

    Yesterday Slater responded to a comment by a poster who said he knows and backs English 110%.
    Slater’s reply “Oh, I know Bill really well. Never met a more spiteful, vindictive, nasty person in my life.”
    Perhaps it’s just me but this comment seems to indicate that Slater is losing the plot; either that or he needs to get out more.

      He’s a very sick man. Must be because his vitriol is ramping up day by day. There are two things that bug him. Judith didn’t get the top job and Key and English have refused to have anything to do with him, for obvious reasons. He has a little bunch of sycophants who hang on his every word. They are as pathetic as he is. If he says “I hate BE”, they all say they hate BE. He is furious right now because he has become a Winston follower and this gives him the opportunity to knife National, and specifically Bill English, and support Winston. He is adamant National are at the bottom of the leak which is ludicrous as I stated in an earlier comment. How he thinks he knows when nobody else does is beyond me. Maybe Winston has fed him that line.

        Stopped reading WO a long time ago.
        He regularly breaks The Full Retard Rule these days, and his 2IC has learned well at the feet of the master.
        I still visit the site to see what the contributors have to say. Some are gold amongst the dross.
        I wondered if the quality material was behind the paywall now, but I’ve had enough unbridled narcissism masquerading as ‘calling it like it is’.

  Yes, a pretty heavy hit on National, the cartoon is savage. Remembering WO hatred of the American skit on Trump’s head, and ISIS behaviour in beheading people.
  I have a sense of humour but I think that is way over the top, unless we are heading back to the dark ages.
  On second thoughts maybe Mr Peters and Mr Slater could be the new Laurel and Hardy standup comedy show.

    I commented for the first time ever on Whaleoil about his cartoon. He blocked me, talk about thin skin. I thought my comment was polite. Saying this is why he is not getting the donations anymore. Nasty stuff not needed. Seems to be hell bent on taking down National – surely National/Act base are his bread and butter. Not going back – he is a loose canon.

  Yes. I read that and was pretty disgusted at how low Slater is prepared to stoop to try and bring down the National Party. Obviously has in it for Bill English rather big time. I’d now like him to tell us where he got the info that Jacinda Ardern has been hospitalised three times for anxiety. And if his sources are correct, why isn’t he making a big issue out of it trying to bring her down?

Crikey. Jacinda laid it on with a bloody big shovel when she visited Gisborne. In fact, I think it was more of a bloody big front-end loader. Says that Gizzy is her ‘Turangawaewae’ because her boyfriend was born there. Have you ever heard such drivel in all your life? Wondering what the in-laws make of this?

Whaleoil’s “Face of the day” picture depicts Bill English under a guillotine, and a decapitated head lying nearby (? Eagleson) and a smiling Winston holding Anne Tolley’s decapitated head.

Funny?. I don’t think so.

But definitely disturbing….. on a number of levels.

  Maybe, but the as someone rightly advised me recently,
  
  If you want a representative view of NZ thinking, then you have to go beyond one man’s blog.
  
  Um, and as odious or in poor taste as the cartoon maybe is, we do all know it’s satire…right? Unlike people on this blog demanding the assassination of Angela Merkel, endorsing the assassination of Meteria Turei, and the execution of Western European politicians…

https://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/business/the-rebuild/96244456/is-funding-christchurchs-stadium-a-political-forward-pass

“Facilities also require cash to keep operating and the Christchurch City Council has said ratepayers will not pay anything more than the $253 million budgeted. If the facility doesn’t cover its costs, who will be called upon to ensure it can pay its bills? It is hard to see anyone other than local ratepayers having to shoulder the additional (and likely sizeable) burden.”

This article ought to give the ‘Bread and Circuses’ lobby groups a headache.

Dr Sam Richardson is a senior lecturer with the Massey Business School. His PhD in Economics examined the justification for public spending on sports events and stadiums in New Zealand.

Mayor Dalziel rules out Chch rate payers meeting stadium shortfall.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z780YbuZE2M

Mayor Lianne Dalziel, in a tremendous performance (up there with Tony Marryatt’s “I don’t want to burden the rate payer” ), states she will not be going back to the people of Christchurch to meet the proposed stadium shortfall!

This is a magnificent performance and one Mayor Dalziel deserves an Oscar for.

        There aren’t all that many real communists about nowadays. Most of those that claim to be are merely fashion communists, like fashion anarchists. Sad people, but not worth hating.

        no? Dime usually dates women who appreciate an alphamale, as opposed to someone who cant make it in the world themselves so needs to steal another mans resources. so im pretty safe on losing out to some wimp from the far left.

So I wonder who is going to promise what today.
Maybe the taxpayer will be volunteered to buy presents for all children at Christmas or even declare a car as a necessity and buy one for everyone who has not got one.
Seriously Labour and National you are both a disgrace the way you are trying to bribe voters by chucking lollies at them right left and centre.
The same old bludgers will lap it up and the same old taxpayers who are shouldering the load already will just groan and become resigned to their fate.
Labour has always been the party representing the useless and unproductive so no surprises they are offer nothing to appeal to myself but it is truly amazing how a once decent party like National who stood for the values that built NZ into what it is today has become nothing but a shell of it’s former self abandoning just about every principle along the way to be what it is now, a hypocritical timid pile of crap.

Nothing from DPF on Privacy

Normally our gallant host is in like a robbers dog on the issues de jour, yet for some reason is strangely silent.

National must be pooping their panties about how the breach of Winnie’s privacy is playing out.

Bill English:
– great fiscal manager
– shit-house political manager

I know there will be a flurry of downticks – but this is a self-inflicted wound. We all want a strong, well-led centre right National party.

The way to get that is NOT to put a proven loser in charge. Under Bill, National are not:
– centre right (they’re Labour Lite pinkies)
– strong (the front bench is as cucked a line-up of beta-males and chinless wonders as you could fear to find)
– well led (the unbroken chain of cluster fucks that has catapaulted My Little Pony into such a strong position is proof of appalling leadership).

No matter what the question was, Mr 21% was not the answer. And we are all going to have to suffer Helen Clark’s shadowy 4th term because of it!

Well done Bill English fanboys

Good point Mikenmild. Have got weed on tap here 24/7 in Cali. I can get it delivered to the door in 30 mins.
Beats the heck out of the Coors and no rebound anxiety like with the Ativan. But if I were to start this early I would be in danger of couch lock.

I’ve just watched Shane Jones on 7 days (he was the ‘yes minister’ guest).

While I might stand accused of being a bit shallow in judging a person by his appearance on a comedy programme, I really did think he came across as a greasy arsehole.

He was up himself, he made no eye contact with the panellists and he had an irritating fake grin and fake ‘Maori’ accent. What a slimeball.

    Yes actually I think he did…. is that one of his characteristics?
    
    The main thing, though, was his total lack of eye contact or ‘engagement’. He just talked through or past everybody, in his own private world. Is this how he is in person, I wonder?

Watching National sleepwalk to defeat in this election is like watching a tired,punch-drunk Muhummad Ali lose his last fight to Trevor Berbick. (Ali in his prime would have mopped the ring with Berbick inside two rounds)

Why the hell don’t National get some fire in their belly and at least go down swinging? They need to go on the freaking attack! Labour is getting away with blue murder (announcing batshit insane policies that will quickly collapse our fragile little economy) yet National wont even call them out on this..
I think National are sunk. But Christ they could at least go down fighting? Surely the hardworking (yet doomed) New Zealand Taxpayer deserves that?

  It’s Steven Joyce assisted by Paula Bennett.
  
  I guess they have a picture of PM Jacinda on the wall in their ‘disorganisation room’ as their Goal.
  Organisations often run a ‘war room’ for projects.
  It looks like National are running a ‘defeat room’ and it is the only thing they are doing well.
  
  Joyce was hopeless in Northland 2015 and should have been dropped from Campaign management .
  He compounded it in Mt Roskill 2016 with a dreadful campaign and pulled out of the2017 Mt Albert by- election.
  The earlier 2009 Mt Albert campaign with Melissa Lee running was appalling for National- the one in which Shearer got in.
  
  It seriously looks like they are throwing the game here.
  Despite Muldoon being a hard bugger there was more testosterone in a carload of any of his cabinet ministers than there is in the whole Nat party Cabinet today. Woodhouse, Findlayson, Nick Smith, Goldsmith, Bridges. Cuck Central. Devoid of fortitude AND vision.
  
  Crosby Textor were behind Theresa May’s appalling campaign a few months ago. They have clearly lost their mojo. If they are involved here this may explain something.
  
  The National Party must be getting winning tips from the Auckland Warriors.
  It shows.

http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/338294/housing-nz-orders-eviction-after-grandmother-s-death
“A family of seven, with serious health problems including two blind children, is battling to remain in the state house they’ve called home for nearly 50 years, after their grandmother died this month.”.

If you read the whole story without throwing up halfway through you will find the usual mixture of dysfunction and uselessness which is now being lumped on the state to sort out.
Sorry I am over it,50 years in a state house is an insult to taxpayers and you should have been gone 30-40 years ago.

  One wonders where exactly does all that Maori welfare Treaty gibmedat handouts from the TOW go to exactly if it is up to the taxpayer rather than the Iwi Bro-reaucracy to support this?

    Especially the Maori economy is around FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS. The non Maori economy for 86% of the population seems to be the ATM for all types of bleeding Maori hearts. Wonder who is getting some of the Maori FIFTY BILLION DOLLAR economy.

That didn’t take long…..the negroes are out doing a spot of hurricane looting in Houston and shooting at would be rescuers:

I hope none of you so called “white supremacists” will draw any negative comparison between the behaviour of the Houston blacks and that of the “Cajun Navy” of white folks rushing in from neighbouring Louisiana with a flotilla of small boats to help rescue their fellow citizens.

And people wonder why the West looks like the West and Africa looks like Africa.

    But….back to the topic at hand….I encourage everyone to watch the MSM as already they’re doing what they did in New Orleans during Katrina….
    
    The narrative is that the government (i.e. Trump in this case) “doesn’t care” about blacks. That was the tragedy… All the criminality, looting and murder got swept under the rug. George Bush was a racist… That was the story.
    
    This shit’s been going on forever, making excuses for Negroes anti social behavior.

    Africa is one giant Vibrant™ poo hole – which is why commie fags like you have such love for it.
    
    Only former white run Rhodesia and former white run South Africa were good performers and going somewhere.
    
    Of course since the whites lost power in those two countries, they have gone backwards and Zimbabwe is about worst in show for Africa and South Africa is catching up in the race to the bottom.

This Vibrant™ mohammedan needs a complimentary one way helicopter ride 100km out to sea:

“Nadia Chan, who has previously appeared on Iranian state television calling on Muslims to support “the armed resistance from the Islamic Jihad … and also Hamas” in Israel, and praised Palestinians using “everyday items to resist, whether it’s knives, cars … everyday items to strike the fear in the hearts of their oppressors”, was praised in a report by Channel 4 presenter Assed Baig.

“Stereotypes portray them as weak and meek,” he crooned. “But this group of Muslim women don’t accept that.”

These Muslim women are fighting back by rejecting stereotypes and shaping the discussion on what matters to them. pic.twitter.com/M4nMsmLaf8

— Channel 4 News (@Channel4News) August 27, 2017

“Like many people, they don’t feel like their voices are represented in the mainstream,” said Baig.

This is perhaps unsurprising, considering Chan told Baig point blank that, “I don’t wanna be represented in British society. I don’t think representation is a liberation.”

This is consistent with a public tweet to Rebel Media contributor Tommy Robinson on August 16th, in which she swore she would “gladly LEAVE this SHIT HOLE” as soon as “parasitic filth … pay up reparations for colonial loot”.

Chan does not only consider the White British population parasites. She has also branded mixed martial artist Conor McGregor “an arrogant white irish parasite [sic]”, and declared: “I strongly advocate that the parasitic entity known as ‘Israel’ MUST cease to exist. Furthermore, every single Israeli is a parasite.”

With respect to white people, Chan has left followers in no doubt that her hostility extends well beyond particular nationalities with the following quote:

“The only white man you can trust is a dead white man.” — Robert Mugage

Fr. [For real]

Elsewhere, she writes: “[Muslims] clean themselves 5 times a day, unlike you dirty white cave parasites, muslims gave y’all soap remember”, and, “[Y]ou pasty pasty bland bitches have NO culture, no rich history, you ain’t shit, ur ancestors were cave ppl”.

Mixed race critics have been dismissed with comments such as “[your] mum’s white ew lol” and “My condolences to you bitches with white mums, but keep any reference to PAKISTANIS out of your mf’ering mouth you SWINE!””

http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/08/28/public-broadcaster-channel-4-presents-openly-racist-anti-israel-islamist-muslim-woman-fighting-stereotypes/

Multiculturalism has been a disaster for Western Civilisation and the Globalists know it, that is why they are shutting down free speech with the excuse of “ending hate”.

The only hate is what Diveristy™ is importing into our white Western countries.

  Christian numerologist David Meade has again warned that the mysterious planet “Nibiru” is about to smash into Earth.
  
  According to his theory, the apocalypse will take place between September 20 and 23, and the clues are written on the pyramids and in the Bible.
  
  The conspirator said: “It is very strange indeed that both the Great Sign of Revelation 12 and the Great Pyramid of Giza both point us to one precise moment in time – September 20 to 23, 2017.
  
  Are Dispensationalists still pushing the Great Pyramid?! The Jehovah’s Witnesses (before they were known as that) were peddling this nonsense 100+ years ago, as were the Schofield Bible/Darbyite/Millerite and Seventh Day Adventist crowds. I think even NZ evangelist Barry Smith who peddled his circuit in the 1970s and 1980s tried regurgitating it for a while…

    Ah, Rosh Hashana, Jewish New Year is September 21 this year! So at 6pm Jerusalem time (when the new day starts according to Biblical chronology in the one place that God has chosen), that would be NZT 3am, Friday, September 22.

    You scoff?
    
    The height of the Great Pyramid, at 480 feet, is 5760 inches, the number of years of the Hebrew calendar from 3761BCE to 2000CE – 144 generations (assuming a 40 year generation).
    
    Hence the millennial connection.
    
    “He said the descending passage will point to the star Regulus – also known as the “King” – in the constellation Leo, and the ascending passage will point to Jupiter – known to the Jews as the “Planet of the Messiah”.”
    
    Leo is setting (its kingship descending) and it is Aquarius which is rising. It’s a coming to an end for an age, coming of a new age metaphor. But these things only mark periods of time beneath “the heavens above”. Only theists or the fatalists are vulnerable (need be alarmed).
    
    I wonder if the Greeks put the statue of Zeus in the Temple because Jews thought Jupiter was the “planet of the Messiah”?

      Indeed, as well as deride, chortle and mock. 😉
      
      I think even Hal Lindsey, who sold paperback Despensationalism (“The Late Great Planet Earth” and other updated…missed predictions) by the bucket load in the 1970s was into Biblical (sic) Pyramidology too.
      
      Key verse that allegedly justifies it and is a reference (sic) to the Great Pyramid in the Scriptures:
      
      19 In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the heart of Egypt, and a monument to the Lord at its border. 20 It will be a sign and witness to the Lord Almighty in the land of Egypt. (Isaiah 19:19-20a)
      
      …and from that flimsy pretext, and in good old Dispensational fashion, they are all getting raptured next Tuesday. 😉

        Hardly the GP that had been there near 2000 years by Isaiah’s day.
        
        There are reports of an ark at a Jewish place of worship at an Elephantine Island Temple, at the southern border of Egypt (but in the 7thCBCE) – some Jewish soldiers working for the Egyptian government in exchange for some chariots for Manasseh King of Judah.

        Yet both are surprisingly popular in conservative Christian circles, especially Dispensationalism…and it is one of the main reasons the USA is pro-Israeli in its foreign policy. As per Mike Huckabee’s reasoning:
        
        There are vast amounts of territory that are in the hands of Muslims, in the hands of Arabs. Maybe the international community can come together and accommodate” the Palestinians
        
        http://voices.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2011/02/huckabee_of_judea.html
        
        But for some reason Senator Huckabee seems less enthusiastic at the prospect of the USA accepting displaced ~~Palestinian~~ (sorry, I forgot – Huckabee denies they exist!) Arab refugees, or part of his own state, Oklahoma, being partitioned as an alternate site for the modern Jewish state. Funny that! 😉

      These would be the same feet and inches standardised by the British in about AD1300.
      
      Thankfully the Ancient Egyptians had a time machine to take those measurements back to the 3000 BC or so.

        The pyramid nonsense has been going on for a long time. Martin Gardner had a chapter on it in his classic work on pseudoscience. I think Isaac Asimov also wrote an article showing how these sorts of claim can be derived form the measurements of any large building, in cubits or inches.

      And a few days back when Anne talked about the importance of women being free to bring up children rather than being forced to work he trotted out the Nazi slogan “Kinder, Küche, Kirche” in response.

        Well, it certainly seems to me that Anne shares those homespun values so popular in 1930s Germany.
        But when I call someone a Nazi, it’s because they share EAD’s genuine commitment to national socialism.
        So, Trump’s not a Nazi (has Nazi friends and keen supporters); Longknives is definitely not a Nazi; and Shawn’s not a Nazi (just a NZ first voter, which is as close as we can get to Trumpistas in this country).

Re Mikenmild at 10.18am. What is it with the fast food guys hocking the weed? it’s totally trending.Every good toker in this town knows to go to Five Guys (a burger joint) on a Friday if you want Five Guys cigarettes.
Otherwise you just knock around the CVS parking lot hoping to catch the hippies passing through from Oregon

  They are ideal locations, really. Young employees, lots of people moving in and out. All you need is a tolerant supervisor or manager.
  Surely in the near future it will be “do you want weed with that?”

  Why am I not surprised. Lefties are pretty much into the unconventional when it comes to sex and, for some reason, many of them end up in politics. Labour is all over this thing though. As Jacinda told the crowd at K’ Rds ‘Family Bar’ when they released their rainbow policies, “As I say, Rainbow Labour is the heart of making sure we remain progressive in the next frontier [..] and the next frontier is transgender and intersex rights.”
  
  Liberals don’t know when to stop. Once they’ve done the gay thing, they look for the next thing to push. They won’t be satisfied until anything goes when it comes to sex.

  It’s such a shame when divorce is so high, child abuse is so prevalent and youth suicide is such an issue, that the thing that concerns our politicians most are gay marriage and transgender issues.
  
  I would like to see our government deal with actual marriage issues and look at the question of are there government policies that discourage marriage? There are issues around income splitting, there are issues around de facto couples getting the same rights as married couples which should be investigated.
  
  Actual marriage between a man and a woman is how you start a family and is the best environment for children to be raised in. Why we are neglecting actual marriage to focus on issues that affect only a very small sector of the population is a mystery?

    …it would seem no one is interested in championing that cause explicitly. But I’d suggest maybe NZ First is as close to the “throw the gay and transgender infatuation under the bus” thing as you are likely to get.

      On the contrary, given the amount of time and attention that the Liberal-Left fundie nut jobs give to LGBT+ issues it’s clearly they who are are obsessed with the equipment in folk’s pants.

        Shouldn’t need a big book to tell you what is natural and what isn’t. For instance, you shouldn’t put food into your ear to ‘eat’ because it’s the wrong orifice, and doing so will not be healthy for you. It’s not rocket science. Breathing smoke into your lungs from a smouldering stick isn’t natural either and now we’re trying to ban that.

      Unfortunately what we do in private as consenting adults does affect other people. Many people in New Zealand choose to live together. The children that may result from that union are very unlikely to have those same 2 parents caring for them in the same house by the time they are 15. De facto relationships are unstable and the majority of them do not last 5 years.
      
      Homosexual relationships are notorious for their promiscuity and the idea that they are just as good for a child as having mum and dad is unproven to say the least.
      
      No, children need mum and dad and marriage providing them a stable family unit where they can flourish and grow.
      
      Those of us in the church ministering to children and young people and young families know first-hand the devastation these unstable relationships can have on the children. Children are young and vulnerable and dependent on the parents. The least we could do is encourage marriage and family stability so these kids can get a decent chance at life.

        There is ample evidence that, over a population group, children raised in the care of both biological parents are safer than those who are not.
        
        Of course anyone can cite examples to the contrary (“my friend was raised by three transvestite mothers and he’s fine!”), but that doesn’t change the science.
        
        Focusing our social policy on nurturing the nuclear family unit would give the best long-term BCR of any social spend.
        
        Fortunately there are organisations that are doing this. I’m involved in several.

Why should we waste any more resources on these criminals?

If they want the benefits of society, then they should have played by society’s rules and stopped for the cops.

After 17 days, either they are fine and are hiding up somewhere or the pigs have found them. Either way, no need to waste more effort and risk rescuers for them.

A petition calling for Mike Hoskings to be dropped as the moderator for three televised debates will be presented to TVNZ Head of News John Gillespie today.
The petition has over 74000 signatories.
Petition organiser Erica Finnie said Hoskings right wing views made him unfit to be moderator of the debates.
“The election debates need to be hosted by a fair, unbiased presenter to ensure politicians have reasonable opportunities to present their party’s views,” she said.
However Ms Finnie has not disclosed to the public her own credentials which are closely aligned with the Greens Party:

  Just took a look at Ms Finnie. So, she’s a left-whinger but that’s ok. Honest to god – I hate these academics. Totally clueless as to how the world spins on its axis I’m afraid.
  I’m thinking she’d be perfectly ok with leftie Jack Tame then? Or perhaps cute little Mattie the Weatherman might be more up Ms Finnie’s alley (excuse the pun).
  I know, substitute Brodie Kane for Mike Hosking – it’ll be a hoot. She’s super smart (said with tongue in cheek).
  Tim Wilson – not a dog’s show of moderating/adjudicating anything.
  Toni Street? No. Very giggly and gushy around Jacinda – they’re probably besties now. Doesn’t carry any political smarts.
  Hilary Barry – not an option. Not intelligent enough/smart enough to lead a political debate.
  Mike Hosking is the best presenter/moderator TVNZ has. Makes Duncan Garner pale into comparison. I’d be very surprised they’re going to give into your demands.
  Really, Miss Finnie. Crawl back under your rock. Not a Greenie perchance? Thought so.

      Good! Beneficiaries can go where they’re told. Beggars can’t be choosers.
      
      Selling 1 valuable section for development might fund 4 or 5 new roofs over poor families’ heads elsewhere.
      
      But like a true socialist penny, you don’t actually think or care about the poor, you just care about getting attention and having other lefties tell you how wonderful and caring you are!

I’ve just returned from three weeks in the UK and Europe, frankly I’m still in shock.
I purchased at least three quality newspapers everyday and not once did I see a story about Lorde or the NZ rugby team.

  If you were still there Bruv you might have seen a story about our beloved ‘I hate myself for being White’ Lorde.
  She made an utter fool out of herself at the VMA Awards and is being rightfully slammed for her dreadful performance-
  http://toofab.com/2017/08/27/heres-the-story-behind-lordes-vma-performance-that-left-viewers-very-confused/
  
  Lorde herself has blurted out a couple of unconvincing excuses- One is that she was seriously ill and on an IV drip beforehand (bullshit) and another is that she did it deliberately to ‘challenge our perceptions’ (even more bullshit)

Another example of why this country is going to be bankrupt soon.
A guy I work with told me about his useless retard of a daughter whose been on and off the benefit since leaving school and despite having a few jobs has never stuck at any of them for a variety of snivelling reasons.
Anyway her car battery packed up so she went to WINZ for a loan on the premise she needed the car to go to job interviews.
They shelled out $170 for the battery and then made her repay it at $1 a week.
WTF?????
To add insult to injury the guy told me while laughing that his daughter is paying the car off at $90 a week and this finishes in 2 weeks so she will then have all this money which could have been used to buy the battery anyway.
Country is just full of bloody parasites who think ripping off the system is all a big laugh but the spineless government allows these wasters to do it so what can we expect really.

  Labour: Ardern – anything north of 30% and she’ll be safe
  Greens: Shaw and Swarbrick
  NZ First: Peters – sure he’ll technically be dead, but death hasn’t prevented Kim Il-sung remaining North Korea’s ‘eternal president’.
  National: Win or lose – not English. Quite an open field, but my guess is Nikki Kaye.

Greenpeace have got the begging bowl out for some court action:

Hi RRM,

On Monday, Greenpeace and the climate swimmers from Taitu announced they’ve pleaded Not Guilty to the charges laid by the Government for the peaceful protest against Statoil’s seismic blasting ship in April. They will fight the charges using a greater good defence, because what they did was necessary.

We need your help to fight these charges.

It was necessary to stop the Amazon Warrior searching for oil for Statoil and Chevron in order to protect people and planet from catastrophic climate change.
We will fight the charges, because we have to continue in this urgent fight, but we’re going to need your help!
We’ve launched a Fighting Fund because if we are to have a future, we must keep challenging companies like Statoil and Chevron and the Government that is propping them up.

  I’ve noticed the same thing.
  
  Mikenmild/Sam Green (they’re the same person) has been especially vigilant at calling out Nazis the past few weeks.
  
  Despite the fact the German National Socialists were defeated in 1945, MikenGreen has discovered their reincarnation on a right leaning blog at the bottom of the South Seas. I thought some of them went out to Argentina after the war but turns out they’ve surfaced on Kiwiblog
  
  All the diversity training that has been given to Wellingtons Parking Meter attendants has really paid off with his new level of vigilance. He’s seeing goose-stepping Nazis behind even the mildest critics of the LGBTQEQKDF/Globalism/Pozz agendas everywhere on here!

A good read – shows the total contrast between what the MSM represented apartheid to be and the reality of what it was.

It’s hard to argue Apartheid was anything but a just and moral system when you look at the state of South Africa in the current year

  Would you support the extension of apartheid to other countries, EAD?

      Bullshit. Apartheid was a systematic legal and political system to oppress the majority population.
      Don’t insult the victims of apartheid by comparing their struggle to the imaginary sufferings of Pakeha.

        B*llsh*t. Apartheid was a systematic legal and political system to maintain law and order, civility, economic strength, remove corruption and ensure the best possible living conditions for the vast majority of the population (everyone except the 1% of the ANC)
        
        Don’t insult the lower rungs of NZ’s 4 tier (Maori > Pasikika/3rd worlders > East Asians > Whitey) race based political patronage system by comparing their struggle to the imaginary sufferings of Africans under Apartheid.

        Just wondering where the Jews might fit into that nice imaginary hierarchy of races you have there.

        Probably into the 3rd category MM alongside East Asians.
        
        They don’t get any government race based funding nor do they get scholarships/preferential entry into courses based on their race.
        
        On the other hand, they are permitted to form groups based on their race and fall under Decoys special classes of racism victims (everyone except Whitey) so group 3 seems appropriate.

    That would be a good article MM.
    
    It would tell the story of how Africans escaped the dark continent where life was squalid, brutal and short and how in return for doing work, they and their ancestors were able to live in the 1st world and enjoy the fruits of civilisation funded by Whitey while their “brothers” in Africa continued their primitive existence of nasty brutal lives.

        Yes they were actually. The African slave traders made sure of it. They were good at it too as they had been trading their fellow Africans with the Arabs for centuries. Then YT came and told everyone slavery was wrong and ruined it all.
        
        Anyway, YT just made them do a bit of light gardening work in return for all their living expenses and needs being met. Africans have never had it so good before or since.

Our alleged ‘Greatest Sportsman Ever’ throws a sook after being asked about his performance in the last Test-

https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/all-blacks/96336042/i-dont-know-what-you-are-trying-to-say-sbw-cuts-short-interview-at-sevens-promotion

Amazing that this Tosser continues to get a free ride from the adoring NZ Sports media -Especially after throwing out ISIS hand signals and openly supporting an Islamic Hate Preacher

  I have no time for Sonny Bill what the Fuck. Why did he convert to the religion of Hate? So he could be a dick and hide behind religion? And he is not that good at either code as he can’t think clearly enough to know which rules apply when and where. Tosser.

    Not to mention Sonny and his his Boxing camp (The Mundine Morons) were for a while loudly claiming he was the Greatest Heavyweight since Ali! Which was lapped up by Sonny Bill’s adoring Media..
    Funny that this boasting suddenly stopped after Williams got belted into next week by 45 year-old journeyman Frans Botha!

  That is a Match in Heaven or Hell
  depending on who you think he represents
  that is open to debate for the time being
  
  Until the Socialists aligned with Islamic Terrorism
  shut down free speech – free thought entirely
  THEY ARE WORKING ON THAT as we SPEAK
  
  BMW
  
  Stands for
  BRING MY WALLET?
  
  A bit like Islam
  with the in my opinion
  HALAL SHARIA TAX on everyones food?
  
  Bring YOUR WALLLETs in that case?
  
  Everyone is allowed to be TAXED by ISLAM
  as you have been TODAY without consent
  consolation or permission.
  
  They don’t share their bread they distribute
  THE DISHONEST CORRUPT SCAM OF A TAX ON YOURS
  YOURS AND YOUR FAMILIES FOOD.
  
  Some people CAN’T MAKE AN HONEST LIVING
  and spread their Religion through its virtue alone?
  
  And then WHEN OUR MENTALLY

  As NATIONAL and LABOUR intend to

  They are REALLY

  If germans had figured out how to make
  something reliable they might have stood a chance
  of winning the war.
  
  That and getting FW’s to fight for them.
  
  Most of it is a Political Movement
  the rest of it is a Primitive Head Hunting Cult
  a bit like the ones Subscribed to in Early NZ.
  
  Hence the reason they are obsessed with NZ criminal gang population?

Just a thought . Why doesn’t Bill tell Winnie that a coalition is off the table, no matter what. That the Nats would rather swallow razor blades than dance to his tune. They could then argue that a vote for the Charlatan is a vote for Labour. Voters wanting to teach the Nats a “lesson”, but can’t stomach the Red Peril would then vote Nat or Act, not the Dark Lord. And WO could go and grow up.

Jacinda and tax-loving Labour reckon it is the Obama effect:
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/30/us-revised-second-quarter-gdp.html

The U.S. economy grew faster than initially thought in the second quarter, notching its quickest pace in more than two years, and there are signs that the momentum was sustained at the start of the third quarter.
