Mummies, mummies mummies, I need to know
What to do about Golritz
She is my metu 2
She is in the spot light
Some say she is right
Most say not
What am I to do
Clint is not answering my calls
That dumb cluck Hughes stuffed that up
The drunken dwarf is not answering my calls
Metu stuffed that up
Oh mummies I have no one to talk to
What am I to do
I really really really would like her to go
But the pardy would not like that
She is part of the sisterhood
I would if I could but I cannot so I will not.

Cindy needs us to be absoludly possativdly honest

Please mummies what am I to do.

      No it won’t be better in 2020.
      
      The country will be totally fucked then economically as well as socially (as it is already now)…. and we’ll still have the most stupid electoral system in the democratic world, MMP.
      
      Sorry to burst your bubble, but we’re going down a long steep chaotic slide and it won’t be better in 2020. Venezuela was once the leading country in Latin America and it was rightly held up as a shining example, a beacon of success.

        The ClusterParty can’t even count to 60. I don’t think they have enough skills to do too much damage in 3 years.
        
        Besides, the more they do, the longer the voters will remember. We might be shot of them for the whole of the 2020s.

  More on the Greens’ war criminal hugger
  
  For someone who goes on about what a great human rights activist she is – she certainly has done a lot of work for people who have absolutely no regard for the human rights of their victims.
  
  WOBH has a post about even more evidence of what a sanctimonious hypocrite this creature is – she acted to try to prevent the extradition of accused Rwandan war criminals.
  
  It’s not a witch-hunt when the witch really is a witch or the accusations of dishonesty and hypocrisy are proven to be dishonesty and hypocrisy. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

        Actually it is 6 to 2 and that is counting Gareth Hughes and Cuck Shaw (certainly not cocksure) as ah hem.. ‘men’. If we are allowed!
        Let’s be generous and give the non females half a point each. After all they are evil ‘white men’ so don’t deserve much more.

        After the treatment of Clendon and Graham a few months ago why would any real man step into this huddle of harridans.
        There are some really scary units there.
        Probably JAG is about the only ‘on the level’ person there although Gareth is cute in a boyish way. The beard from the $2 Shop is not fooling anyone.
        
        They are such a scary set now that Sue Bradford would look like a moderate.

    Her fault is not in what she did, that was reasonable and just. The fault was in not being proud enough of her actions to stand up and shout them out. Instead she has, or endorsed by inaction the work of others to, portray her work as being prosecuting rather than defending the persons accused of crimes against humanity.

    I remember my delight when on changing jobs I had instead of 8.oo-4.35 the hours became 10-7pm.
    These days I am awake at 5 or 6am and could be at work no problem for 8 start.
    Glide hours is a sensible solution to the youth/old age change in body responses.
    Yes it is funny but sad the lack of understanding between age groups.

Seemed it was a good idea to tune into our new found type of tainted democracy in our Parliamentary debating chamber.
There was the low renter,looking like a faded rose,or was it poison ivy A guy called Peters ranting and raving about himself. “Here is me and who is like me’. Truth is he really is a clown all jokes are about him.
He has spent the last circa 40 years in his parliamentary life in a state of Confusion and Obsfucation.What an indictment. And also what a Legacy, who will care and who will listen.

Another day in paradise & another day to see what the Coalition of the damned will bequeath NZ.
Last night I heard Chippie on RNZ at 18:55 on the programme the House, claiming the Paid Paternity (thinks he means Maternity) Bill has to come back to the House for tidying up.
What a disingenuous p***k. It needs tidying up for 2 reasons, being:
They forced it through the House under urgency, when they didn’t have to; and
2. They are trying to back pedal in order to save face (without accepting the National amendments) over the matter of shared mother/father maternity/paternity leave.
Just shows the level of duplicity we are getting from the CoL.

  I actually wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a Paid Paternity Bill.
  
  Labour is dependent on single mothers, so paying blokes $1k a pop to knock up the girls makes sense.

What did the Solicitor General advise?

In the draft Statement of Claim filed on Monday, Peters seems to be challenging the legality of the past (and previous) governments’ “No Surprises” policy where civil servants were expected to brief ministers on politically controversial matters.
He calls “unlawful” the actions of Boyle, in telling two ministers about Peters’ super overpayment. – stuff

This makes much more crucial reports that –
Brendan Boyle [Head of the MSD] had consulted State Services Commissioner Peter Hughes, who in turn consulted Solicitor General Una Jagose, before Tolley and Bennett were told.

Reports that the Solicitor General was involved do not however confirm that she actually gave advice approving the action, or not.
Now that Winston questions the legality of the “No Surprises” policy, what was the Solicitor General Una Jagose’s advice on the matter of telling the two Ministers?

Considering that the actual incident was done and dusted history weeks before, the surprise indeed was that the Ministers were told at all.

    But that’s all he has.
    No-one can sue him for slander or defamation if he says what he does in Parliament.
    What happens to his case if those claimed disclosures about him were within Parliament ?

Tweedle dum and Tweedle dee.
I took the time to watch the early part of Parliament yesterday and what was on offer was a farce.
It is obvious that Peters and Mallard have decided to play what they see as amusing games, with Shane the perv joining in with his comments.
It was obvious that Cinderella wished she wasn’t there. She kept a very low physical profile, as she did in opposition wishing that nobody could see her, and then like the Cheshire Cat jumped up and down trying to reflect Bill English’s quietly and respectfully put questions which she was reluctant to answer.
When she referred, and included the deputy Prime Minister Tweedle dum, he grinned at her inclusion like a demented rather unsober old man. Well it was after lunch and he obviously wished like Cinderella that “what the hell am I doing here”. I could have had that other whisky after all.
In answer to a correct question he gave his innocuous answer and when asked to answer the question he turned to Tweedle dee whose partisanship was obvious – two old mates supporting each other.
I never though that anybody could be more partisan than Margaret Wilson, but we now see that Tweedle dee has got the job he never thought he had, and was revelling in it like a recalcitrant schoolboy.
From that part that I saw this Parliament is going to be an ongoing disgrace to New Zealand.

  I watched the first couple of questions and answers but gave up with Mallard covering for his lefty mates. About 2 hours later I turned it on and Jamie Lee-Ross was tearing a strip off the CoL over all their flip flops. Absolutely hilarious.

Yesterday Sideswipe contained a picture of the Muriwai Golf Links deck, which was cordoned off unable to be used by members. A reader complained that the restriction was patronising to the golfers and wrongly pointed the finger at the Auckland Council, along with other inaccuracies. Muriwai Golf Links general manager Andrew Jackson advises that the deck is 45 years old, not 25 years, and 6m off the ground, not 2.4m. “It is in need of major repair, so we have decided to demolish and start again.” Sideswipe and the Herald apologise for publishing the misinformation.

‘Sideswipe and the Herald apologise for publishing the misinformation’

Has the Auckland chip wrapper turned a corner and is now going to apologise for publishing misinformation? Where will the advertising fit if this mea culpa moment catches on and they apologise for every piece of misinformation they print?.

    He has made an utterance along the lines that even war criminals are entitled to have legal representation to ensure their defence. Which is actually not quite correct, and shows he doesn’t have even a basic understanding. As a defence lawyer (if she knows the person committed the crimes, & she is against what they did), she has every right to walk away, or merely ensure the defendant is able to put their case and rebut prosecution/evidence. But they do not need to defend the inexcusable.

      While I agree that everyone is entitled to a fair trial, that does not wash with the Greenies.
      
      They are not interested in fair trials or due process and the rule of law.
      
      This is really going to taint Golriz’ (and Green’s) image of being champions for the most vulnerable.

      Ah, but that would have meant Ghahraman had to turn down a great UN gig. She is enamoured with the UN and all the wonders it achieves, and she has her eye on the prize, her amazing career. A little defending of a grisly individual can always be justified when it can lead to achieving your own personal goals, surely!

      In her case she was volunteering, so all the legal ethics issues may not apply. It is not as if the guy asked her to represent him. She wasn’t employed by a legal firm that had been asked to represent him.

      She seems pretty confident at the moment that James Shaw will stick by her. Almost like she’s ‘flipping the bird’ to anyone who dares to disagree with her behaviour.
      Gharhaman is a disgraceful piece of work.
      Let’s hope the pressure on this issue keeps mounting on Shaw so that he gets the message that he has to sack her, just like he did with Me Tu.
      Apparantly her boyfriend, Guy Williams, pokes his nose into this Blog and doesn’t like what people are saying.

  What amazes me about this case is that it is like having a candidate for a job & their CV is full of porkies. It is called fraud and you don’t hire the candidate.
  
  What is the difference here? Her story as published and told doesn’t hold water, and we are meant to accept and trust her to act on the public’s behalf in the HoR.

There’s a tweet by Phil Quinn published on comments on Pete George’s blog that reckons Golriz Gharaman wanted NZ to take in Rwandan war criminals as refugees.

This can’t be for real, can it?

@philquin
It’s clear nobody did oppo on @NZGreens list, prolly for good reason. It just would have distracted them from the civil war. @golrizghahraman wanted war crims who lied to get refugee status to stay in NZ & be spared a trial in Rwanda. Pre-election, this would hv made toast of her

    • Act as special counsel in refugee and extradition proceedings relating to accusations of genocide against a Rwandan national in New Zealand.
    
    That is from her LinkedIn profile. I’m not quite sure what a “special counsel” is. I’ve never heard the term in that context and I’ve been in the game for many years. However, a lot of the criticism fails to take into account that lawyers have an ethical obligation to represent whoever seeks their services, whether they agree with them or not, so I would not rush to judgment on this one until more is known.

      No problem with who she defends. What the problem is that she “Bull Shits” about what she is up to so not to upset the sanctimonious Greenee’s who get upset with everything and everybody who is not drinking Almond milk and saving stranded dolphins.

The media are putting the boot into the Greenie Golriz Ghahraman about her association with Riwandian Terrorists. So they should.
They should also be doing the same with Peters. Peters has them spooked and virtually are running scared every time they have the courage to ask them about the “secret” agreement dealings with Labour and how he ambushed his Loyal over 65s Gold Card supporters.
By Peters own admission yesterday in Parliament he admitted that before the election he told National Party MPs they would spend a long time on Parliaments back benches.
The poor old age Pensioners were sucked in to vote for him. They expected that they would get the Super increase legislated for by National and approved and voted for by Peters Gang.
Now seem it was all a facade to get the trust and good will of his over 65s Gold Card voters. In a few months the deceit will be exposed when Peters Gang vetos the increase.

  Not quite. You see the same $1000 of tax cut was also going to go to those evil rich bastards earning over $70K, so that was abhorrent.
  Instead, The Coalition will give $450 ($750 for couples) to each and every pensioner by way of a ‘Winter Warmer’ benefit, regardless of their income.
  So no tax cut for workers – just more state aid to pensioners.
  Classic Left wing policy to ensure as many as possible remain beholden to the Government.

    That will be means tested . Not such a big deal. In fact has yet to be legislated for. Tax cuts were for the under $70,000. Check it out. All of the cuts and Super increases were legislated for and were to be enacted on April 1 2018.Peters Gang and Greenies voted for them. Lie-bour voted against them,at that time.Now Peters and Greenies do a flip flop.

        What about the tax cuts for wage earners up to $70,000 and super increases. Anything on the Lie-bour/Green /Peters/ CTU/ propaganda outlet ,on their cancellation. Thought not.Now that would make an excellent Stuff article. We live in hope.

Princess looks burnt out. She must be hanging out for Christmas. Accountability looks like hard work for her.

Perhaps she could do some fluff like an overseas trip for the next 4 weeks.

Who will be really be running NZ next year? Robertson? Princess looks mentally finished and its going to get worse.

Peters was asked in Parliament yesterday about the 38 page secret mafia type agreement with his “selected “tainted” Labour Government.
Peters quoted the Ten Commanments as a way to deny what was in the secret Agreement,to escape more embarrassing questions by Paula Bennett.
Maybe Peters should have realised that the eleventh Commandment is “Thou Shall Not Be Found Out.”
By his refusal and his Obsfucation on the Secret Agreement with his selected running mate.,he has hammered another blow against the type of Democracy and Natural Justice NZs expect,and are subsequently being denied.

Quitting Congress:
– John Conyers (D-MI)
– Rep Luis Gutierrez (D-IL)
– Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ)

Sheesh. The Democrats are starting to fall like nine pins. Who would have guessed that the party loudly talking about The War On Women and the low qualities of The Deplorables – were such pieces of shit themselves?

This is my shocked face.

A special shoutout for Gutierrez as my fave POS from my time in Chicago: never met a piece of race-baiting he could resist and multiple re-elections to prove its success. Wonder who will pick up the amnesty cudgel now?

From the Guardian, UK, what Golriz Ghahraman says internationally –

Greens MP Golriz Ghahraman, herself a former refugee and human rights lawyer for the UN, said Australia appeared to be “stalling” over making a decision regarding the Manus refugees and was using “delay tactics” to wait for media attention to subside so the men could be forcibly removed from the facility. She joined calls for New Zealand to take the men.

“The indication from the Mangere Refugee Centre [in Auckland] is that they can take 150 to 194 in an ordinary intake, and they can take 250 with bunking. So they can take 250, we have the resources for that.”
Australian NGOs had offered to fly to New Zealand and provide “wraparound” services for Manus Island refugees, said Ghahraman, if New Zealand took the full 600.

Gharaman said to the best of her knowledge the government was currently negotiating only with Australia, although the NZ Herald reported seeing foreign affairs minister Winston Peters holding private talks with the Papua New Guinea prime minister, Peter O’Neill, at the Apec summit.

“The best option obviously would be if Australia stops selling off its human rights obligations in the Pacific, closed the camps and just processed these people as refugees, as it has an obligation to do,” said Gharaman.
– the Guardian, UK, November 14

Meanwhile, as leaked Australian security sources indicate, some Manus Island refugees have sexually violated young local girls, evidenced by pregnancies and disease spread, but not individual complaints that identify perpetrators, so no documentation of sex crimes exists to be helpful for screening of individuals by any would-be accepting country.

Would Greens MP Golriz Ghahraman have any suggestions on that particular security matter, having already inquired into more important things like how many people Mangere Refugee Centre can handle, if the Manus Island people jump the queue.

  Geddis leans so far to the Left that a slight puff of wind would knock him over. I would be more surprised if he was NOT defending Ghahraman.
  
  Phil Quin has spent many years in Rwanda and, of course, is a former Labour Party staffer and activist. On this issue, I prefer his version of events.

    Geddis makes some fair points but totally (and willfully) ignores the main issue here and that is of honesty.
    The newbie MP lied by omission and allowed others to lie on her behalf at the very least by not correcting things that had been published.
    Her bio is a very carefully crafted document full of half truths and weasel words. It really suits her and her chosen political party.

    Phil Quin has no conscience and, as we can see from this ridiculous attempt to libel Golriz Ghahraman, zero judgement. He’s bitter because he was told a couple of years ago that he lacked the wherewithal to contribute to Labour’s policy team. He’s a National Party stooge, if ever there was one.

      I think his concerns about her display a conscience. Now that it appears she also acted on behalf of possible mass murders here in New Zealand, this is something anyone with a conscience would be concerned about.
      
      He’s bitter because he was told a couple of years ago that he lacked the wherewithal to contribute to Labour’s policy team.
      
      That’s not a valid argument. It’s a “look over there, a squirrel!” argument. The issue is whether or not there is a reasonable case to be concerned about Ghahraman’s version of human rights, and whether the Green Party was less than upfront in the way they presented her prior to the election.
      
      You’re treating this as a political right/left partisan issue. So are some other people here on the opposing side of this. But that is not the way an issue like this should be approached.

Hasn’t rained in Wellington for weeks.
Water restrictions about to be enforced.
But up the road, in Kapiti, which typically has fewer water resources, warmer temperatures, bigger gardens, have no problem.
The reason ? Kapiti residents pay for their water (and rates were reduced to compensate).
Since water meters were installed, water usage has reduced by over 20%, despite rapid population increase.
As Prince has his country residence on the coast, and retires there over summer to tend his orchards, he railed at the ‘pay for water’ policy when introduced, but it has proven results.
Capitalism at its best.

    Not so sure.
    When is the last time Wgton test had a day rained off.
    And a test ? 197x vs Aus, 3 days rain.
    Memorable for John Morrison being terrorised by Jeff Thompson despite there being no chance of a result.
    80 minutes of hell for JFM. Amusement for the spectator(s).

      1982. Was also Martin Crowe’s last debut and Lillee and Thommo worked him over too! So severe was the treatment, they dropped Crowe next summer (for his brother) and it took him some 2 years to cement his place in the team.
      
      From memory 1986 against Aussie at the Basin Reserve was hit by rain, 1988 against England. But yeah, the high wind in Wellington usually kicks any rain along. Always need an opening and/or stock bowler who can run into the wind all day! 😉

        Looking forward to it. My money’s on the Windies. They won a test in England recently, have a useful batting lineup. Blackcaps look vulnerable. So long as temperature stay over 16c, the Windies will surprise many.

      To be fair- I admire Mystery being able to last 80 minutes against Thommo in those days!
      I’ve faced 140 kph bowlers in Club and Rep Cricket (Younger Days) and that was awfully bloody quick.
      Thommo was 160 kph plus…

        New Government data shows the home-building rate is yet to reach it’s early-2000s peak.
        
        The rate compares population with residential building consents. In a 2004 peak 33,251 new residential buildings were consented, compared to a population of just over four million – creating a build rate of 0.81 per cent.
        
        In the 2017 year to June 30,453 buildings were consented compared to a population of almost 4.8 million, leaving a build rate of 0.64 percent. This was well up on the 2009 low of 0.23 per cent but growth had begun to level off. … read more via hyperlink above …

I see the PM has undertaken that

Government will be releasing the Cabinet paper on the change-negotiating mandate for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, to ensure greater transparency for New Zealanders around that deal

It would be interesting to know what the trade negotiators have advised about that. Transparency as to a negotiating mandate strikes me as a pretty terrible approach to a negotiation.

Surely all it will mean is that what NZ intends to be its absolute bottom line, only if its opening bid really can’t be sustained, will now become the starting point for the other parties.

LVR restrictions being eased….

Grant “Charge It” Robertson was on Red Radio yesterday saying how great this would be – making it easier for first time buyers.

He does not seem to understand the huge risks involved and where the 2007/8 GFC came from.

If people take out 100% loans and can only just afford the payments, then what’s going to happen if the mortgage rates go up (as they’ve already said they expect to see).

Nor is it a good thing if people take out 100% loans and the house prices drop 10%. People will be upside down and have larger mortgage payments. Lose, lose!

  Just because the Reserve Bank does that doesn’t mean the Banks will actually do it.
  There’s is a hell of a lot of property under construction.
  My feeling is that Banks are going to be prudent and conservative about lending until most of those are completed and paid for.
  They will want to see where values settle when that occurs.
  This caution will continue to put a handbrake on property values.

Golriz Gharhaman spends much time explaining she follows the Nuremberg Trials principles by acting as a defence lawyer to killers.
Most Nuremberg defence lawyers were German and employed about 70 ‘researchers’ in an attempt to defend the indefensible; most Nazis were put to death. I wonder how many killers Golriz got off in her career to date?

  Most Nuremberg defence lawyers were German and employed about 70 ‘researchers’ in an attempt to defend the indefensible; most Nazis were put to death. I wonder how many killers Golriz got off in her career to date?
  
  At Nuremberg? All the defense lawyers were German, but no, the majority of the 22 who were present in the dock when the verdicts were delivered (i.e, without Bormann tried in abstentia, and Ley who committed suicide during the trial) only 11 (including Goering who cheated the hang man’s noose by a few minutes via suicide) were executed.
  
  Some, such as von Papen and Schacht were even acquitted. Admiral Doenitz was arguably incorrectly convicted (Royal Navy officers tried to argue that his “don’t pick up enemy survivors” order to his U Boats was justified according to how the war was fought, especially the incident which precipitated it – an American bomber had attacked a U boat doing precisely that in 1942). And if Saukel swung, so too should have his boss, Albert Speer. But Speer went the “fully repentant” route. Oh, yes, and Jodl probably didn’t deserve to hang. That’s the opinion of Airey Neave who served the indictments and was subconded to assist the accused find lawyers among the German community.
  
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_trials
  
  I don’t have a problem with Gharhaman doing this work – everyone needs an adequate legal defense and she was upholding the system, and it may have been unlikely, using your method of measure, that there was sufficient Rwandan legal talent to do so. The issue is the Greens massaging the truth…

    …and to clarify, Doenitz, and his predecessor Admiral Raeder were both imprisoned, not executed. Doenitz for 10 years, Raeder for life.
    
    Arguably also Hess was insane, but as the Soviets were convinced that his crazy flight to Britain in May 1941 was to make a peace with Churchill so the nazis could invade the USSR unencumbered, they never allowed him to be released from Spandau Prison where he rotted away for over 40 years.

      Goering, once he was in prison and off the drugs and losing weight on a meagre prison diet did a good job of conducting his defence, including making a fool of the American prosecutor, Jackson during cross-examination.
      
      And I posted it yesterday, but again for EAD (who has quoted him and Der Stürmer lately), among the last words of Julius Streicher as they dragged him struggling to the gallows:
      
      “Purimfest 1946!”
      
      …and (to the hang man) “The Bolsheviks will hang you one day!!” A Nazi to the very end! 😉 At least guys like Ribbentrop, Frank and Keitel faced death with dignity and courage and used the time of their trial and -pre-sentence solitude to face up to the enormity of their crimes and express repentance.
      
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Streicher
      
      As Streicher struggled so much he likely altered the position of the noose around his neck. As David Garrett has explained on Kiwiblog before, and as per master British hangman Albert Pierrepoint, it has to be on the correct side of the head so the neck is snapped back and the spinal cord severed at the end of the drop
      
      …and instead Streicher likely strangled to death slowly at the end of the rope. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy! 😉

      Hmm. The source is

      Worth maybe checking out. The problem for the defendants was getting a lawyer who was familiar and capable with the system of justice as it was going to be administered at Nuremberg. As the Nazis had…mismanaged (euphemism!) the justice system, the idea of a “fair trial” was foreign to them, let alone how it would work in practice. For instance, many of the accused thought that when the indictment was served it was a death warrant.
      
      Mind you the Soviets had to be placated when it was explained to them that if a proper trial was conducted there was the possibility some may be acquitted! 😉 Like the Nazis, Stalin had been specialising in show trials for some time. 😉

Ah yeah, no not a human rights lawyer (which implies giving your time to victims of human rights crimes often at the lawyers cost) and not a prosecutor. Where did Isaac get the info that she was a prosecutor. Did he read and interpret the green party bio as she was prosecuting and standing up for the victims. I certainly did.

    My understanding is she was not a prosecutor in Rwanda and the Former Yugoslavia prosecuting the heads of state as the article suggests. She was defence to the Butcher of Bosnia, and defence in Rwanda for the war criminals.. So this herald article seems to be wrong.

I’m genuinely puzzled after listening to a reporter complain about mis-pronunciation of Maori words. Te Reo was an unwritten language until the Brits arrived and started writing it down phonetically. How would those first documenters know that some words contained a ‘silent G’ such as in Ngaio? Why would they write “Tau” rather than “Toe”, or “po” rather than “paw” when writing the name of the great lake?

  ‘The whole business has become surreal. One morning, for example, a couple of Maori snowflakes were banging on about the terrible grief they were suffering from the mispronunciation of their names. Not only were they themselves being insulted by this, but so were their ancestors, the whole tribal boiling of them, right back to the first canoe.’

  That is quite likely true for some sounds, eg. Tau and po, but quite likely not true for the Ng bit.
  
  There are many sounds that cannot be pronounced using straight English phonetics because the sounds do not exist in English. In those cases special letter groups need to be constructed to represent those sounds.
  
  For example, isiZulu -like Maori – was first written by the Brits. isiZulu has a hissing sound that you make by holding your tongue to the roof of your mouth and blowing air through your cheeks, then followed by the “l” sound. This is given the letter group “hl”, hence words like Hluhluwe (a place), umhlophe (white).
  
  Similarly in Maori we have ng, wh and other special letter groups.

  Marsden in 1824, Williams in 1842 are the authoritative texts. Toepaw for Taupo is definitively a hoax, an ugly one, as is Koeree for Kauri. This is a linguistic disgrace, and offensive to old timers.

    “AU” has two vowels in Polynesian which they are very fussy about each being pronounced properly. If you run ar together quickly with oo it come out to our ears something like ow. In “OE” the “o” is a cross between ough and aw the “e” comes out sometimes like ee so the whole can be either oi or ough-eigh–depends on context: tenakoe or moe. The “e” at the end of tenakoe is a separate item.
    The NG is throughout Polynesia too. Sometimes it just spelt as G other times as N then context is applied. The nasal ng is like a trucated ning without the mouth open.
    
    Spend a few months in the Pacific learning the language and you get the hang of it. There are different sets of consonants depending on country and they are never used without a vowel either side. There is also the glottal stop; sometimes marked but frequently a character is dropped in as in whaka, f’a’a or faa.
    
    The recent push on radio and TV is only pidgenising language which should have been pigeonholed.

  The G in Ngaio isn’t silent. In English the “ng” sound only occurs at the end of syllables but in Maori it occurs at the start of syllables. English speakers aren’t used to it that position and often struggle with it and end up replacing it with the “n” sound.

John Key, mass surveillance and what really happened when Edward Snowden accused him of spying

The NZ Herald has found – after three years of refusals and information going missing – that the former Prime Minister’s[KEY] version of events doesn’t match that of documents created at the time.

Version of events ? he told us all a stinking bag of lies is what it means

  Apparently it was 1990 when they refugeed to Malaysia for a holiday, then they refugeed to Fiji and onwards refugeed to New Zealand, where it seems they ran out of the will to refugee any further (refugeeing for overseas holidays excepted).

While we pick the political bones of Golriz Ghahraman, the real damage of the Greens is passing with little comment.

Hostility to oil exploration stoked up by the Melon Greens has led to Anadarko pulling out of NZ exploration.

We have gas close offshore, and maybe oil, and this economy needs it. We are walking on economic ice after about 40 years of balance of payments deficits, prices of our core export – dairy products – under pressure, and National’s laxness on immigration bringing GDP per capita almost to a halt.

We need that gas, and it now seems there’s now little chance of harnessing it.

Thank you Greens – both those within the Melon Party and the Green Quislings in other parties.

  The price of oil isn’t really high enough but under this government we are going to see interest rates spike. Slow exports, low business confidence, foreigners via the capital account were actually nullifying our current account deficits and a falling currency makes pharmac drugs more expensive. And if international rates go up we will have a feedback loop where we have to pay more interest on top of the interest we are already paying. I suggest people lock in low rates for as long as possible.

    Harkman, your: “… foreigners via the capital account were actually nullifying our current account deficits” ….
    
    An economist can correct me. As I understand it, by foreigners funding the deficit – presumably, if by loans, causing a surge in non-Government debt.
    
    Or, as I think you suggest, by sales of assets to foreigners, from land to companies (such as the plastics manufacturer Sistema). These sales can then lead to a continuing bleed as profit goes overseas (if the whole enterprise hasn’t been shifted abroad).

    I’m not suggesting there’s enough gas close offshore in NZ for international exports, but the world gas market seems healthier than the world oil market.

So John Key was lying about mass surveilance … I suppose he did eventually resign as PM but a few years late.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11948852

And also this:

The former Finance Minister Steven Joyce made no financial allowance for National’s $20 billion defence re-equipment programme and says it was possible his Government might not have replaced the Orion maritime surveillance aircraft because of the cost.

Because of this the new Government is to review the $20 billion programme which was unveiled with much fanfare last year.

But the National Government never accurately costed it and made no provision in any of its long-term forecasts to pay for it.

No allowance was made in the capital spending forecasts of the Pre-election Economic and Fiscal Update for the procurement programme.

This has left Labour facing a multi-billion dollar hit to its budgets each year over the next 13 years if it decides to go ahead with the programme which apart from replacing the Orions calls for replacing the Hercules and 757 transport aircraft and the Navy’s frigates.

  While I don’t agree with the first part of your post, I do agree that defence spending needs to be urgently looked at. We don’t have an air force with any teeth, no fighter planes, how is our Navy going, and what’s our army looking like? Neither labour or national appear to make defence spending a priority. Even though defence of the nation is the first priority of government.
  
  Given labour’s pacifist tendencies I don’t hold much hope for a beefing up of our defence forces in the next 3 years.

  Mass surveillance …
  
  What fucking piffle Leftists talk.
  
  Electronic communications – now by smart phone and line phone as well as by internet – is conversation in a market square.
  
  For electronic privacy people use prime-number-based codes such as RSA. But the fact you are using a code may raise security folk’s interest.
  
  This is not new! People have used one-time-pad code (still perhaps the best of all) for centuries. Privacy has always been a trade-off against security.
  
  With international terrorism rampant, and scum like ISIL making full use of the internet and cellphone networks, trawling of communications by security agencies is necessary for national survival.
  
  What has happened to the American traitor, Snowden, by the way? Perhaps Labour’s mates like Hager the Horrible would like to have him offered safe have in New Zealand. Fat chance.

The notorious hardline marxist paul moon says in his interview that the Treaty can’t be fake, because the british published its text in 1840. Has he not considered as Allan Titford does that there might have been reasons why the British might have wanted to conceal the true Treaty in 1840? Sir William Gallagher has blown the lid off a very old conspiracy with his revelations

The international society for infectious diseases have serious questions for New Zealand regarding the “new strain” of Botulism affecting the family who ate wild pork.

They declared that the reported onset of botulism symptoms within minutes post ingestion is “highly unusual”.

What an embarrassment for NZ. There is no confirmed “new strain” of botulism. There has been no confirmation of ANY botulism strain in ANY toxicology report, but most NZs getting their information from the msm would tell you otherwise.
The NZ media made up the story about botulism. They have now changed their headlines to “suspected” botulism. A tox report would have confirmed botulism by now (it takes a few days) so they are backing away from it.

The obvious question in the absence of any evidence of botulism is, What are the other suspects then?

One of the families friends had this to say:
“in the process of elimination the doctors think it is defiantly some sort of poising within the boar itself so maybe the boar has consumed poison before it was shot down and so whatever was in its blood has found itself in to theirs”

Why are we not even having a conversation about secondary poisoning then? In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Suggestions that secondary poisoning could be a factor have been attacked viciously and labelled as “cruel” and “insensitive” for the suffering family.
Apparently, despite dumping tons of 1080 into the environment (banned in most other countries) NZ has no facility to test for Sodium fluoroacetate residue! Talk about having your blinkers on. Tests on the family or the boar meat would have to be done everseas.
Why hasn’t the media followed up on this? Do we know if the tests to rule out secondary poisoning are being done?
I hope so.
I don’t have an agenda, just an opinion that if 1080 has played a role here, surely that’s something we would all want to know.
Even the staunchest supporter of 1080 drops would want it ruled out. Right?

  If some fuckwit finds a dead pig in the bush and eats it is Darwin at work.
  
  Considered whatever effected the victims would have been fatal without medical intervention in a short time it is highly unlikely that 1080 poisoning from a live animal was the culprit. . 1080 baits are small and spread over a large area . It would have taken considerable time for a pig to find and eat that many baits or dead animals. To have that much toxic poison in its system that eating some would cause death guarantees the pig would have died within a very short time of ingestion of the source

      One said the father had killed the boar; another said it was a friend.
      
      No-one has stated who butchered the boar.
      Is it possible that the boar was taken someplace (home-kill business) for butchering by a third party and equivalent cuts of old meat were exchanged/ substituted for the new beast?

        Yes maggy we have incomplete information.
        One would assume the doctors involved would have looked at both the source of the animal and its processing to access the probability of chemical contamination. The medical authorities seemed to have ruled accidental 1080 poisoning out.
        
        There is no cover up or conspiracy around our use of 1080. Mistakes have been made and learned from in the past.
        1080 poison is the best method to eliminate pest mammalian spices from this country.

    You havent really read up on this have you. Nobody died and the pig was shot (according to the statement by the family friend.)
    
    I’m not willing to accept that you’re an authority on 1080, you sound more like you’re quoting “facts” off your fish-n-chip wrapper.
    
    Even if you are an expert, you wouldn’t have a problem with testing for Sodium fluoroacetate or any of its metabolised derivatives because you’d welcome the opportunity to prove your theory about sub-lethal doses correct.

    I am making a logical case against the source for the sickness being due 1080 from a live pig
    From what I know he claimed to have shot the thing.
    Pigs have a very similar Metabolism to humans.
    A pig must have been comatose or dead for it to have that much 1080 in it.
    A wild animal in such a state if not dead would be obviously very sick .You can usually spot a sick cow or sheep with a casual glance at the paddock. Sick Animals usually lie at odd postures not as if they are sleeping or resting.

    I know something about 1080 poisoning. It seems to take 3 or 4 hours for even a fairly small dog to show symptoms after eating a carcase which has been killed by 1080. These people got sick within 30 minutes I think. It would have to be a massive dose ingested directly rather than poisoned meat to achieve that. You would need to have made porridge out of the cereal baits.

      I’ve seen a dog chew the bones of a possum which had died sometime ago. He died in agony within 30 minutes. The poison concentrates in the bones and the gut acid of the dog enhances the reaction.

https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/99350522/pharmac-warns-minister-of-the-impact-of-interim-drug-fund-and-the-motives-of-big-pharma

This stuff article seems to be saying medicines NZ met with Andrew Little, got Labour to adopt the Interim Drugs fund as Policy and then spent $150,000 on a mysterious election 2017 project. Minister Clark is saying The Interim drugs fund is still policy despite Pharmac advice it will cause a 90 million dollar annual blowout and impact their ability to negotiate with Drug companies.

This sounds a lot like NZ First and the Kermadec sanctuary.

  Is the Stefan Crauzaz mentioned in this article the same Pharmac CEO Steffan Crausaz who earlier this year at an industry seminar introduced Dr Nigel Murray as an exceptional healthcare leader who represented a DHB that Pharmac considered a model of efficiency? Yeah you can trust Pharmac to make the best healthcare decisions for us.

The League ‘World Cup’ is like watching a slow-moving Trainwreck!
Tonga must have spared no expense hiring this Lawyer-

“Therefore, an immediate remedy needs to be delivered urgently, taking into account … the failure of the referee to refer the matter to the video referee, the mental health issues of the referee, past and presence, [and the] previous history of disciplinary actions against the referee in his inability to avoid mistakes..”

http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/sport/2017/11/tongan-lawyer-sends-letter-urging-rugby-league-world-cup-organisers-to-overturn-decision.html

“Past and Presence”? Seriously??

  I always thought Samoan rugby player Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu of 2011 Rugby World Cup infamy (and his mad, bad, sad fellow lawyer mother, Iuni Sapolu) was the worst
  
  http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11315725
  
  She once complained, based on the fact her son wasn’t being picked and based on his name, that that the University senior club coach Mark Birtwistle must be a racist…until it was pointed out like others with European names (Bryan Williams, Joe Stanley)…Birtwistle too was Samoan! Indeed, he had played for Manu Samoa in their famous breakthrough victory against Wales in Cardiff in 1991 😉

      South Canterbury vs France at Timaru, in 1961 – and South Canterbury won 17-14. Wasn’t the player’s mum. The spectator in question was Hilda Madsen, of Oamaru, whose ire was raised by the antics of French flanker Michel Crause. He was nick named “The Mongol” on account of both his swarthy looks, and his dirty reputation. Even Colin Meads thought he was dirty! 😉

        Yeah but Cindy was gilding the lily when she gushed she had “an abundance of talent” from which to chose her cabinet. Already the wheels have fallen off for Kelvin Davis. Clare Curran wont be long, Kris Faafoi, Carmel Sepuloni…even Chris Hipkins who one thought was competent has been dropping the ball, and I await with interest Grant Robertson’s tenure. Sure, he has ability….but Finance?! 😉

        I never rated Kelvin highly anyway, so I was not surprised at his pretty awful performance. Don’t know enough to speak about the rest, and as far as Grant goes, well the proof is in the pudding, and discerning that is a wee way off yet. The train wreck might come, or it might not. Too soon to tell, but, and contrary to the rhetoric here, I have seen nothing so far to make me regret my derision to vote for them.

Having finally ‘semi’ retired after 48 years of continual work, and no Government hand outs, I finally watched Question Time in Parliament yesterday & today – I wish I not wasted my time. I was appalled at the inane responses to questions and the glib and childish behavior, particularly from the Deputy Prime Minister. I was actually ashamed that this was our House of Representatives and felt that what was on display, was not reflective of the expectation of the tax payer who is employing them.
If I had acted like that during my years of employment, I would have got (and expected) a short shift.

  They will be better off cos they will understand when their defacto partner is screaming stoneage at ’em and that he is about to kick the living shit out of her and the farnow. Those few seconds of stoneage language, and her new knowledge of said stoneage language could be the difference between life and death.

Surely Knott

The Standard have a new article about fiscal issues, using the picture of Stephen Joyce with a dildo flying past his face. It’s getting a bit tiresome frankly. It was sexual harrasment IMHO, that this man in the process of doing his job had an activist try and humiliate him by throwing a sex toy at him and then the accompanying viral media. But now, years later, Joyce is still subject to humiliation of the use of this degrading photo. I wonder would the Lawyers at the Standard feel it was within the law if this same sexualised or nude and degrading images were used of women in their workplaces or political party?

Grammys Diversity Triumph: No White Guys in Best Album!

https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-grammys-diversity-triumph-no-white-guys-in-album-of-the-year

Surely celebrating the lack of representation of a group as a “diversity triumph” contradicts the plain meaning of “diversity”?

Maybe those nutty “conspiracy theorists” have a point when they say “diversity” is a code word for white genocide…….

  It’s nutty to claim that the lack of any ethnic group is a triumph for diversity, that’s true. It’s equally as nutty to claim diversity is a code for white genocide. Like the dying days of the Wiemar Republic, the far left and the far right feed off and reinforce each other. Two sides of the same coin.
  
  Also, white genocide is a myth.

  Um, why is it when Soviets from a Gentile family and upbringing committed atrocities they are primarily regarded as Bolsheviks, but when they were non-Gentiles, they are regarded primarily as…Jews? And how come, if the “Jews” really are in charge, they let Trotsky get his head caved in with an ice pick?!

        I’m a little surprised that no one has tracked down the original Churchill article, but oh well… Have to do my bit before the summer holidays strike…
        
        First there are the Jews who, dwelling in every country throughout the world, identify themselves with that country, enter into its national life and, while adhering faithfully to their own religion, regard themselves as citizens in the fullest sense of the State which has received them. Such a Jew living in England would say, “I am an English man practising the Jewish faith.” This is a worthy conception, and useful in the highest degree. We in Great Britain well know that during the great struggle the influence of what may be called the “National Jews” in many lands was cast preponderatingly on the side of the Allies; and in our own Army Jewish soldiers have played a most distinguished part, some rising to the command of armies, others winning the Victoria Cross for valour.
        
        Woah. Respect dude!
        
        The National Russian Jews, in spite of the disabilities under which they have suffered, have managed to play an honorable and useful part in the national life even of Russia. As bankers and industrialists they have strenuously promoted the development of Russia’s economic resources, and they were foremost in the creation of those remarkable organizations, the Russian Co-operative Societies. In politics their support has been given, for the most part, to liberal and progressive movements, and they have been among the staunchest upholder of friendship with France and Great Britain.
        
        Even more respect for the Jews from Churchill in that same article – and Russian Jews no less.
        
        The fact that in many cases Jewish interests and Jewish places of worship are excepted by the Bolsheviks from their universal hostility has tended more and more to associate the Jewish race in Russia with the villainies, which are now being perpetrated. This is an injustice on millions of helpless people, most of whom are themselves sufferers from the revolutionary regime. It becomes, therefore, specially important to foster and develop any strongly-marked Jewish movement which leads directly away from these fatal associations. And it is here that Zionism has such a deep significance for the whole world at the present time.
        
        Zionism offers the third sphere to the political conceptions of the Jewish race. In violent contrast to international communism, it presents to the Jew a national idea of a commanding character.
        
        So to say the least, a whole lot of nuance about te Jews from Mr Churchill.
        
        Now since Jack5 was good enough to provide other views from Solzhenitsyn I’d like to think that you all will quote the above passages whenever EAD enters his Jew Hate Robot mode – which is admittedly on 90% of the time and is therefore, as we say in IT, a feature, not a bug. 🙂

        The Truth About Churchill and the Jews
        
        The British leader’s ‘special friendship’ with the Jewish people is nothing more than a myth, created by Churchill himself and his official biographer, Martin Gilbert.

From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States)… this worldwide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the 19th century; and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire.” -Writing on ‘Zionism versus Bolshevism’ in the Illustrated Sunday Herald, February 1920

      Same old anti-Jewish, neo-Nazi propaganda from EAD. He’s like a needle trapped in a cracked 45rpm recording, one of a Nazi marching song, perhaps.
      
      EAD frequently tries to recruit to his cause Winston Churchill, a politician famed for standing up to the Nazis.
      
      On the proportion of Jews in the Bolsheviks, I’ve repeated names often to EAD, but it’s like trying to bore a hole in granite by pissing on it.
      
      Meanwhile, here, yet again, is one of the replies on Churchill repeated frequently to EAD:

      Pearls before swine EAD. The zionist always uses lies, manipulations and personal attacks to distract from the truth. The truth is the thing they fear the most as their whole excuse for being is based on endless lies. They will stop at nothing and have no boundaries or morals.

Trodden is another manifestation of the Stupidboy/Milky troll creatures.

Clearly bitter after its most recent suspension it has decided to punish us all with the most insipid and sanctimonious entity to date.

Once you scratch through the facade of sleazy virtue signalling you quickly find a shallow bitter wee man who can only resort to ad hominem attacks and strawmen.

Yet here you are doing the very thing you complain about, as well as accusing me of deception and dishonesty. Looks like double standards Maggy.

  Yup, pretty obvious really. Out of curiosity I Googled ‘mikenmild kiwiblog’ and read a bunch of his posts. Not even close to my style, and apart from one or two issues, we don’t see eye to eye either. He’s far more partisan than me. And I’m not an atheist, which he seemed quite passionate about.

HOWEVER! their christmas themed packages include snow, icicles, sleds and eggnogs. This is completely insensitive to the southern hemisphere players who used to enjoy this game. I will be forming a protest group (under the banner of our Lady of the Perpetual Snowflake) to draw attention to the discrimination being suffered by those who reside in the latitudes where Christmas is a WARM! season!

The Jewish boycott

A while ago, Iran’s Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Ali urged the Muslim World to boycott anything and everything that originates with the Jewish people…

In response, Meyer M. Treinkman, a Jewish pharmacist, out of the kindness of his heart, offered to assist them in their boycott as follows:

a) Any Muslim who has Syphilis must not be cured by Salvarsan discovered by a Jew, Dr. Ehrlich. He should not even try to find out whether he has Syphilis, because the Wasserman Test is the discovery of a Jew. If a Muslim suspects that he has Gonorrhoea, he must not seek diagnosis, because he will be using the method of a Jew named Neissner.

b) A Muslim who has heart disease must not use Digitalis,a discovery by a Jew, Ludwig Traube. Should he suffer with a toothache, he must not use Novocaine, a discovery of the Jews, Widal and Weil.

c) If a Muslim has Diabetes, he must not use Insulin, the result of research by Minkowsky, a Jew. If one has a headache, he must shun Pyramidon and Antypyrin, due to the Jews, Spiro and Ellege.

d) Muslims with convulsions must put up with them because it was a Jew, Oscar Leibreich, who proposed the use of Chloral Hydrate. Arabs must do likewise with their psychic ailments because Freud, father of psychoanalysis, was a Jew.

e) Should a Muslim child get Diphtheria, he must refrain from the “Schick” reaction which was invented by the Jew, Bella Schick.

f) Muslims should be ready to die in great numbers and must not permit treatment of ear and brain damage, work of Nobel Prize winner, Robert Baram.

g) They should continue to die or remain crippled by Infantile Paralysis because the discoverer of the anti-polio vaccine is a Jew, Jonas Salk.

h) Muslims must refuse to use Streptomycin and continue to die of Tuberculosis because a Jew, Zalman Waxman, invented the wonder drug against this killing disease.

i) Muslim doctors must discard all discoveries and improvements by dermatologist Judas Sehn Benedict, or the lung specialist, Frawnkel, and of many other world renowned Jewish scientists and medical experts.

In short, good and loyal Muslims properly and fittingly should remain afflicted with Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, Heart Disease, Headaches, Typhus, Diabetes, Mental Disorders, Polio, Convulsions and Tuberculosis and be proud to obey the Islamic boycott.

    At least they won’t be faced with the same dilemma if they boycott everything invented or discovered by Muslims.
    
    Ever since the dark cloud of Islam settled over the ME the former repository of the World’s knowledge has been reduced to hadiths about sodomising domestic animals & sexually mutilating little girls.

        That piece linked to by Maggy claims as an Islamic invention:
        
        Epic science fiction and epic space opera: These genres of science fiction largely originated from the 1965 novel Dune, which was greatly inspired by Arabic literature and Islamic literature, particularly Islamic eschatology and prophecies related to the Mahdi.
        
        Frank Herbert was born and raised a Catholic and became a Zen Buddhist.
        
        Wikipedia has a good piece on his work and themes. I didn’t notice any mention of Islam.

      Are you opposed to Jews hacking into little boys cocks, or does that ring your bell big time?
      
      The Muslim religion is way closer to Judaism than Christianity. The Jews were just as vile until they got their way with the help of useful idiots like you. Lets give Muslims everything the Jews have and see how extreme they are then. No need for suicide bombs when you have the US airforce do your dirty work for you.

    Look guys. This debate is just to much for you. You need to stop trying to show every one how smart y’all are. Or how much lower educated Britto is.

      Brittle is not stupid, he is just lacking in morals and integrity. It’s a requirement for zionists as they need to deny the truth in order to maintain their beliefs.

        Look. It’s over for the National Party. OVER. Just over. They need to denounce John Key immediately. Strip him of Knighthood. Arrest him for lying to the public.

        You gentlemen should pack up and slope off quietly to your corners. It’s late and your mothers have probably sent their last clients home and they’ll be around soon to pack you off to bed.
        
        Now no more inappropriate touching because you Catholics know that’s a mortal sin, down on your knees, beg for forgiveness and hope your lord doesn’t take you in your sleep.
        
        Just remember, the State of Israel is the last bastion of hope for the ME. The other false nations around it will fail and once more the people of Zion will claim the stolen lands back.
        
        And I would at this point like to thank President Trump for his unwavering support of my people’s homeland. His Airforce and his Navy are a gift from God – my God not yours. And long may the lobbyists of my people exert control over the banks and the governments of the west. It’s what we get up for in the morning.
        
        Night losers. This member of the chosen people has to sleep.

It’s pub talk but a group of us were discussing the current state of affairs.

It was agreed that Labour is like a drunken sailer that just won lotto. Spend spend spend…

When it’s all gone they will borrow borrow borrow and then leave the mess for National. It could take 2 terms as punters will be offered goodies in the interim.

We all agreed that it is most unlikely that Ardern will last the first term as by her own admission she is highly stressed and this is also supported by her recent gaunt facial expressions that makes her look rat shit. Hell its early days and she’s flip flopping all over the place.

We need a strong PM, not a school girl out of her depth.

Time for a sheep joke or two, methinks:

What do you call a Kiwi with a hundred lovers?
A shepherd

Why does New Zealand have some of the fastest race horses in the world? Because the horses have seen what they do with their sheep

From the web site, Convictcreations.com, an Aussie joke about us! It’s set in the days when H1 was still Prime Minister of NZ,

Helen Clarke, Prime Minister of New Zulland, is rudely awoken at 4am by the telephone.

“Hillen, its the Hilth Munister here. Sorry to bother you at this hour but there is an emergency! I’ve just received word thet the Durex fectory en Auckland has burned to the ground. It is istimated thet the entire New Zulland supply of condoms will be gone by the ind of the week.”

PM: “Shut – the economy wull niver be able to cope with all those unwanted babies – wi’ll be ruined!”

Hilth Munister: “We’re going to hef to shup some in from abroad… Brutain?…”

PM: “No chence!! The Poms will have a field day on thus one!”

Hilth Munister: “What about Australia?”

PM: “Maybe – but we don’t want them to know thet we are stuck.”

Hilth Munister: “You call John Howard – tell hum we need one moollion condoms; ten enches long and eight enches thuck! That way they’ll know how bug the Kiwis really are!!”

Helen calls John, who agrees to help the Kiwis out in their hour of need.

Three days later a plane arrives in Auckland – full of boxes.

A delighted Hillen rushes out to open the boxes. She finds condoms; 10 unches long; 8 unches thuck, all coloured green and gold. She then notices in small writing on each and ivery one………

    Jacksie I know you hate the gentiles and often call for their extermination and persecution.
    
    However Hitler was a staunch Christian nationalist and an authoritarian. I am a libertarian atheist race mixer.
    
    The Rabbi who radicalised you has created an enemy in your mind.

    If you lie down with dogs, you get fleas.
    
    If you lie down with parrots, such as keas, you get psittacosis.
    
    A symptom in humans is sensitivity to light, so the infected person will be most active late in the evening.
    
    TeamKea may be infecting all of us with Chlamydia psittaci.

Celebrating diversity, with ya old cobber LRC . . .

You’re at an Asian shop because they sell cheap broccoli. It’s an Asian shop. Nothing but Asians. Oh well – won’t have to talk to anyone at least.

‘You must really like that eh’ ?
Even in the Asian shop – there’s some old white bedraggled lunatic loitering around empty-handed. Where did he materialise from ?
You just can’t win.
Fuckin moron – seven heads of broccoli – that’s only one per day. It’s nothing. Noddy had a look of ‘half way through alien anal probe’.

  Perhaps the old whitie was being sarcastic, LRC?
  
  He might have assumed you hated broccoli but were on a health kick, juicing it and drinking the stuff prodigiously.
  
  But someone’s got to be pretty bored if they are studying what others are buying in a fruit and vegetables store.

    You’d have to see him and hear him of course.
    Nah – he was just an old fart.
    Barriers lights and bells – but not train.
    Ok – he had scroungy grey trackpants and some kind of flannel blue black collar shirt.
    Medium bird’s nest beard.
    Zombie.
    I threw it back at him – and what are you buying here ?
    ‘I haven’t decided yet’ as he walked away looking away. Yeah right. Obviously buying farking nothing.
    Just trust me. I’ve seen them all many a time.
    Imagine a very slow thick sounding voice – that sounds like a bloke talking while blowing a note on a milk bottle.
    Not shopping – a sadcase making mindless comments. I’m onto them like *that*. I’m not a social service for these dicks that fill in their whole day lurking with nothing better to do.
    
    I had my back to this idiot when I heard the comment, what’s he doing just standing around against a wall in a vegetable chiller area – how bloody stupid – idiot. There’s a lot of them out there.
    
    There was no perhaps about anything. Just the incredibly painfully obvious.

Radio NZ tries to soften the actions of Golriz Ghahraman.

An article on the Radio NZ web site is headlined as an analysis by Alex Perrottet, described as Morning Report producer and a lawyer to boot.

Back in the day, such articles of personal views were called opinion pieces. Now they are “analyses”. Same cake, richer icing.

The State radio national programme really is Labour Radio.

Matt Lauer was fired from NBC News on Wednesday after an employee filed a complaint about “inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace,” the network announced.
