The lyin’ leader’s lie was bigger than we thought, proving they think we’re idiots
Day 93 after the miraculous baby-dropper said that the Youth abuse camp review would take 60-90 days.
So yesterday I commented about the lyin’ leaders’ lies about being “completely open and transparent” about anything – especially the cover-up of the Labour Youth Booze and Abuse camps.

And then miraculously and of course totally coincidentally, news dribbles out that the infinitely idiotic Andy Kirton is “resigning” from the Labour party for a really, really well paid job at Air NZ. I’m sure the timing of this had nothing at all to do with the hope that it would be buried among all the baby-fawning of the obsequious fake-news MSM.

And then we had confirmation of what all ordinary, decent people thought – that the whole review was a front to sweep it under the carpet. Newsroom is reporting that the (totally unbiased and completely independent and competent) reviewer

She had three months to report back and her findings were not to be made public but go to key party leaders.
Berryman only recently spoke to some of the five victims of the assaults at the camp.

This is starting to look as stinky as what is coming out of the FBI in the US about the Clinton investigation. If this was done with any intention of sorting out the problem and making sure the best interests of the children were taken care of – why would the reviewer have only just interviewed SOME of the victims? Oh yes, and nice of Newsroom to take the party line and remind the sheeple that they couldn’t be trusted with such important stuff as this report – it was only for the party leaders (yeah like they can be trusted).

So let’s take stock:
– This has all the marks of a cover-up
– The timing was designed to push any review report past what Labour was hoping to be the Jacinda’s “Royal Wedding” moment when she achieved the incredible feat of giving birth
– The reviewer is dragging the chain and going slower than Auckland traffic at rush hour
– This review is going to be secret (from the ‘completely open and transparent’ leader) to the party hacks that wanted to cover it up in the first place.

But sure libtards! You can send your kids off to Labour Youth camps safe in the knowledge that Labour will take the best possible care of them. Maybe Darren Hughes will come back to supervise the next one.

    I can see a potential market for relics of the chosen child’s first droppings. This will have the ability to boost Labours election coffers.

  I did hear Soper’s comments repeatedly saying that Kirton was in charge when the story broke, but Cindy wasn’t told. Pull the other one Randy, it has bells on it. Why are the Left so tolerant of sex offenders?

    Indeed, and that’s something I would expect National to already be chasing up. After all, having helped Labour get into government and now being in a position of considerable power in the party, why would Kirton walk?
    
    My guess is that the findings of the report are adverse towards him, so when it comes out, Labour can see “It’s all ok; he has already moved on”.

  That Newsroom item talks of 5 sex-abuse victims.
  Up until now I had thought that there were just 4 ..
  2 guys and 2 girls.
  
  Seems some folks know a hell of a lot more than they are letting on, or is this an all-out effort to muddy events?

We are a caring government but it will take longer than one term to fix the mess National left us in.” Nothing more to see here I’m to busy on the other 20 Reviews/Advisory Groups I’m on to comment further.

  Still waiting for any news on the Police investigation into the Labour Youth Camp scandal.
  
  Or were the reported events at that camp just ‘rumours’?

    calendar girl, the police first have to establish whether there is a case to answer. ( evidence and facts ) Next will it stand up to a trial.
    
    Then they have to prioritise over other criminal investigations ( this is not a political crime.Though with you I suspect it is so )

      That’s why I referred to “any news on the Police investigation”. Comprehension is clearly not one of your strengths, stephie.
      
      Who categorizes the alleged offences as a “political crime”? You seem to be too concerned about the fact that the camp was organised by the Labour Party. Like many of us here, I’m concerned about the time the inquiries seem to be taking, and the concern that will have on the young victims of the alleged sexual assaults. Will any such victims be labelled as liars?

        calendar girl, as I stated it now is a police-based investigation that functions very differently from any Labour internal investigation or whatever.
        
        BTW the police have to observe the rules of evidence and establish if there is criminal culpability of the kind that would go before the courts and likely succeed .
        
        Fact !

        stephie @ 10:38 am, it is for the Court alone (a magistrate, a judge alone, or a jury) to determine any criminal culpability / liability, or to acquit the accused. The job of the police is limited to determining whether there is a sufficiently-realistic prima facie case against any accused individual(s) to initiate a criminal trial.
        
        After more than three months, one might have expected that police inquiries into the relevant social gathering might have been concluded by now. With the passage of time, the reliability of evidence may become weaker. Meanwhile, alleged victims of sexual assault at that weekend camp may well be traumatised by memories of that weekend, and by what they see as society’s lack of urgency and concern regarding their experiences.
        
        So I’m waiting to hear, very soon, whether this police investigation will result in prosecution(s) or the termination of inquiries. The present hiatus can’t be allowed to go on forever. Why such a delay?

  Labour commissioned Wellington lawyer Maria Berryman in March to investigate how it handled the affair, its general culture and any other incidents of sexual harassment or abuse within the party. She had three months to report back and her findings were not to be made public but go to key party leaders.
  
  Berryman only recently spoke to some of the five victims of the assaults at the camp.
  
  From DP’s link to the Newshub article -hopefully someone with legal knowledge can provide us all here some answers in order to clarify the following:
  
  1. Is it normal for an organisation (Labour) to commission their own private investigation (seeing that the Police are supposedly investigating a criminal act in an official capacity)?
  
  2. Is it normal for the private (Labour) investigation to speak to the victims of the assaults (when there is an official Police investigation underway)? Could this have some bearing on what the victims of the assaults say to the Police?
  
  3. If it is “normal” for Labour to conduct their own private investigation, is it satisfactory that “Berryman only recently spoke to some of the five victims of the assaults at the camp”? Note: that is “some” not “all” – why is that?
  
  4. Finally is it normal for the Labour private investigation to be kept secret? Surely it’s in the Public Interest for Labour to release the results? I do hope the MSM apply pressure on to Labour to have their secret investigation report released.
  
  After all why not, if it were National (not Labour), you bet some “investigative journalist” would come along and somehow obtain and publish a leaked copy, fully justified, because of public interest and as we know from the recent Hager/Police apology, the Police cannot do anything about it!

    So, a Labour-commissioned Lawyer is speaking to alleged victims whilst a police investigation into the alleged assaults is on-going.
    
    Difficult to see this in any but Political terms.
    
    How can the public be assured that the alleged victims haven’t been leant on by the Labour Party Hierarchy?
    
    Something is very STINKY about this affair.
    
    “Victim-led approach”…. Looks very much like Labour Party Hush-up approach.

        Let’s not be so harsh. “Groped” is not a nice word. Applying the “Angry Andy Minimising Method” lets just call it “tickled” or “patted” or “accidentally brushed”. Suits the narrative much better

      Disappointing for the Police who are becoming more and more politically tainted.
      Must be something to do with the appointment of a new Police Chief, as it reflected that he or she may not even be a sworn Police person probably an ex Labour Minister.
      A Labour political appointment – say Helen Clark who is of course impartial.

      The Police investigation smells like BS to me.
      
      You have a complainant and a suspect / offender known to the complainant or complainants.
      
      Bush without a complaint was very quick to rush to the defence of the fisherman so I am not surprised to hear delays in solving this current crime.
      
      A sad day for the NZ Police, a once proud honest organisation.

Two alligators are sitting on the edge of a swamp.
The small one turns to the big one and says; “I don’t understand how you can be so much bigger than me. We’re the same age, we were the same size as kids… I just don’t get it.”
“Well,” says the big alligator, “what have you been eating?”
“Politicians” replies the small alligator.
“Hm. Well, where do you catch ’em?”
“Down at that park on the edge of the swamp.”
Hm. How do you catch ’em?” “Well, I crawl under a BMW and wait for someone to unlock the door. Then I jump out, bite ’em, shake the shit out of ’em, and eat ’em!”
“Ah!” says the big alligator, “I think I see your problem. See, by the time you get done shakin’ the shit out of a politician, there’s nothing left but lips and a briefcase…”

    Idi Amin woke up one morning, and when he looked in the mirror, he was horrified. He was white from the eyebrows up!
    
    He summonsed his doctor, who quickly mixed up an elixir and gave it to Amin to drink.
    
    The dictator slugged it down, then said “What was that? It tasted like shit!”
    
    The doctor replied “It was. You just needed topping up”.

    It is a horror of corruption and bullshit. But I can’t help but think that it is necessary to provide a forum for input and intercession from non-super-powers during cold wars, and with China’s hegemonic ambitions and rapidly expanding military capabilities we are entering a new dark era. UN is worth maintaining if it can stop an eventual war.

  Plenty for PM Jacinda Ardern’s baby to achieve over 6 weeks
  
  Perhaps her baby could take over from hipkins as Leader of the House.

I must say, albeit without having seen the Egdeler post etc, that W O H B had a real Jim Dandy late yesterday quoting one Peter Davis on the abysmal Ardern-Peters Regime and its actions.
As WOHB says, “that is ex-Prime Minister Helen Clark’s husband.
Let that sink in for one minute.”

Oh well, while the MSM and other silly buggers waste time on the Ardern child, it should be noted that the nation has reaped what was sewn. The whole porridge of liars, and worse, promised the gullible and the greedy (Redmelons Peters cult members, nurses and teachers and more) the earth and but, as expected by wiser heads, will deliver sack cloth and ashes.

  If you’re referring to the present government, then you’re incorrect. This government porridge (as you delightfully describe it) wasn’t elected by the people of this nation. It was appointed, totally against expectations, by a venile old drunk and serial liar who himself only managed to achieve 7% of the vote and doesn’t even hold an electorate seat.
  
  The nation didn’t deserve this, and it’s not of our doing at all. If National had any balls they would be campaigning on a platform of holding a referendum on MMP within their first term – or at least suggesting some viable change to the system to prevent this happening again. That is if they ever get into government again and if there’s a country left to govern.

    ‘venile’
    I think you may have coined a useful new word: a specific combination of venal and senile.
    Examples:
    “Shane Jones is venal”
    “flipper is senile”
    “Winston Peters is venile”

  I replied to Davis’ tweet, and said that whilst I could never agree with his wife politically, her political management skills were such that the clusterf*ck we are currently seeing would never have happened.
  
  Think of David Benson-Pope. For weeks in 2007, National picked away at him over his conduct regarding the Madeleine Setchell sacking. Clark stuck by him like shit sticks to a blanket.
  
  Then one Thursday Gerry Brownlee answered a very pointed question of DB-P at Question Time, and when the Minister replied confirming the allegation, he then left the Chamber and resigned. I was later told that an inconsistency had emerged in Benson-Pope’s statement, and someone from the PM’s office contacted someone from Brownlee’s office, giving him the precise wording for the question.
  
  It is very rare for a primary question to lead to a ministerial scalp; the primary questions are often generic. In this case, the primary question asked exactly the right question, which meant Benson-Pope either had to tell the truth, leading to his resignation, or had he lied, face allegations of misleading Parliament. Helen Clark dealt with him in a cold and calculating manner.

It has been said that on the day of the birth of the nations baby, that there were 20 babies born in the same hospital.. Can one ask how many of these mothers stayed in more than the aloted 1 day or less?
Or Did stupid little wonder girlie have a C section and will not reveal it as this would prove that she is not wonder girlie?

    But VP we need to see the breakdown of those totals as the majority might have been because of the income needs of the mother being on the other big payroll. Not being eligible for the DPB is the only thing that distinguishes the silly little girl from all the other unwed mothers. Does she get the Baby Bonus?

  My theory is that she had an elective C section, which are scheduled in Akld for Thursdays (as well as other days). She went in early for the procedure and it was undertaken at 4pm due to the high workload that day.

A never ending Mexican wave (invasion):
http://dailycaller.com/2018/06/22/mexican-candidate-immigration-speech/

Mexican presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador called for mass immigration to the United States during a speech Tuesday declaring it a “human right” for all North Americans.

“And soon, very soon — after the victory of our movement — we will defend all the migrants in the American continent and all the migrants in the world,” Obrador said, adding that immigrants “must leave their towns and find a life in the United States.”

The little immigrant girl shown crying by Time magazine was not separated from her parents. What a lying bloody magazine. I am so glad I stopped subscribing to that magazine 10 years ago, because even back then the leftard journalists had taken over. Actually looking back to the lengthy New York power cut in the 1970s, when the mainly blacks rioted and looted, Time sided with the thieves (because they were downtrodden).

  Meanwhile there is relative silence about the slaughter in the Med . Again , politicians are complicit by not putting an absolute stop to the intake (like Australia did) and the NGOs who are bringing them in by ferry service are every bit as guilty..

A time to reflect on the Peters selected NZs PM Ardern.
Lo and behold Ardern gives birth to a child ,just like many many millions of women have done before.
To hear and read the kudos for such an event almost in the realms of hysteria beggars belief.
The child will have a priveliged lifestyle and so it should.
Sadly not the same result for the circa 1500 youths dumped from NZs Charter Schools and the circa 10,000 wage earners in Taranaki who will become redundant with the unilateral cancelling of oil and gas exploration,by the Coalition of Corruption and Confusion.
All because of mad dog ideaology by Arderns and Peters Gang of No hopers.
Wonder will the type of raw deal aided and abetted by Peters Ardern and Shaw in both instances get as much as NZs and worldwide coverage of the birth of a child to an unmarried mother called Ardern selected by Peters to masquerade as NZS PM.
Think it will snow in hell first.

  Gaza ministry removes baby from list of people killed by Israeli army
  
  Authorities investigate death of eight-month-old who ‘had pre-existing condition’
  
  Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry has said it has removed an eight-month-old baby from a list of people killed by Israeli troops while authorities investigate to determine the cause of death.
  
  The ministry announced last week that Leila al-Ghandour died from teargas inhalation during a 14 May demonstration along the frontier, where it said Israeli fire killed more than 60 people.
  
  A doctor was later anonymously cited by the Associated Press as saying the infant had a pre-existing medical condition and that he did not believe teargas caused her death.

From the ‘CRY ME A RIVER* file.

Yet another ‘puff-piece’ in the Herald about a refugee now living in this country, who sez… “We sailed over corpses to get to New Zealand”

https://twitter.com/nzherald/status/1009995323060707330

Sort of reminded me of the cultural background used in defense of that *SAINEY MARONG*, the murdering necrophiliac butcher from Gambia, who was allowed to stay here after destroying his passport when he arrived. That worked out well…..especially for the beautiful Renee Duckmanton.

Just said farewell to a 22 year old guest from the UK, a graduate in psychology who is about to start work with a child welfare agency in England. Among the views she expressed were: non white offenders in prison are the result of white supremacist views in the UK and therefore not personally responsible for the crimes they committed; more terrorist attacks in the UK are perpetrated by whites than non whites; as it is easier from children to transition genders than adults, children should have the right to make that choice if they feel they have been born into the wrong body.

I have no doubt that this otherwise normal and pleasant young woman has been indoctrinated by the progressive Marxist lecturers at her University. There are already signs of this happening in our own Universities and we should be very worried.

  Complete insanity fostered by academia and it’s taken over the world. This generation is constantly surprised, it seems, by societies developing cultures which they value and which resist outside interference based on the basic human necessity for predictable environments to maintain mental health. All that’s resulting from the ‘modern global world’ is increasing mental ill-health.
  
  I find it difficult to comprehend how those who don’t believe in a human soul/spirit – an entity which exists independent of the body – can claim to have been ‘born into the wrong body’. Anyone feel free to explain this to me. What, precisely, does this mis-born being comprise and where did it come from?
  
  I’m also heartily sick of hearing about how the US and the EU et al deal with migrants and all their supposed failings in doing so – not to mention others like us with constant demands for taking them in.
  
  The essential problem lies in the parent countries – i.e. Mexico, Africa, and the ME. Why does the world not hold these countries accountable for creating and maintaining such awful societies that huge swathes of their populations want to run away? Why are they not responsible for paying the costs of them everywhere?
  
  The UN is a disgraceful con and waste of time. It does nothing for these people or the world, nothing to ameliorate the causes of desperate ‘migration’. The UN and the MSM rather attack those whose populations value their societies as if it’s somehow their fault – and berate them to alter those societies into the same kind the migrants have left behind.

    Yep . They are dumps.
    
    The natives themselves said “white man go home”. The academics and left cried , yes colonialism is evil , give them independance to forge their own way in the world.
    
    Now they’ve completely fucked up their own countries ,the new cry is “Let us in , we must escape our shit holes, you must accomodate us” And the same left wing media and academia cries , ‘Let them in , they can’t live in their own mess, they must come in and mess up the west too.’

  Nuku, the UK establishment must be shaking in their Harrods shoes; you know the very same people who run MI5/6. Maggy Thatcher was seen as an outsider because of her humble background, and Theresa May likewise, but politicians can turn a country upside down in a very short space of time. I consider the UK to be on the edge of disaster because of wanton immigration, and Trump’s visit will bring every airhead and society hater onto the streets.

  Judith Collins said yesterday, during their weekly interview that Phil Twitford and his Kiwibuilt scheme has $2 billion allocated to it. From that $2b so far Phil has managed to build 18 houses.
  
  It has been 8 months since the COL were elected. At that rate, by the next election Twitford will only have managed to construct 126 more Kiwibuild homes.

    And anyway, you have missed the rejigging of Mr Twyford’s calendar as the first Kiwibuild year officially does not start until 1 July. So starting a week from now we will see at least 20 new owners moving in each week, and that’s just in the first year. After that families will be turning the key in their very own front door by the hundreds every month.
    
    And hurray! Mr Twyford has announced that expressions of interest have been called for prefabrication initiatives. What I want to know, who is paying for the huge capital involved and what happens when Kiwibuild programme is finished.
    
    Which BTW might be well before 10 years is up. And all those new tradies, trained up and ready but no jobs? Not even any trees to plant instead.

        About China flatpacks, they have already shipped at least one small apartment block here ready to be plugged together. Included wiring, plumbing, furniture and I think whiteware (not sure about that). There were in life quality issues. Our company was invited to look over it and put in a part time maintenance proposal. (We looked, didn’t propose.)

      Yes softail, but he has $2 billion dollars. Do we get to see how he is allocating that substantial amount of money for Kiwibuild? Considering they are to be affordable homes for first-time home owners, how much will each house cost to build versus how much each house will be sold for. Will the taxpayer be subsidising these new house purchases?

    To be fair Waikatogirl, Twyford hasn’t completed ANY Kiwibuild homes yet. The 18 McLellan subdivision homes which are due for completion in September were planned and funded by the previous government. Twyford is still to get any runs on the board.

Former Afghan president Hamid Karzai says America, by treating Pakistan as an ally, is feeding the hands that kills American and allied soldiers and Afghan civilians.

He makes the claim in an interview on Der Spiegel, which includes this:

“… while the United States knew about and told us about the sanctuaries and the training grounds in Pakistan and that all that violence was coming to us from Pakistan, they treated Pakistan as an ally and supported the Pakistani army with billions of dollars and continue to do so today.”

I have noticed Lockwood Smith mentioned in the UK this week. Telling the UK to get out of the EU and resist the forces of Remain. I agree with him but interesting that he is getting a high profile platform on this.

Here is an example

https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/978285/Brexit-news-Liam-Fox-BBC-Laura-Kuenssberg-EU-exit-no-deal

Another thought as NZ seeks an FTA with the EU we need to be wary that the Coalition doesn’t sign us up for an FTA that includes a condition to settle migrants.

  I had the same thoughts too, and wondering if we have some negotiators too willing to accept and turn a blind eye to a lot of “pre conditions”.
  
  Conditions, like how cucumbers and bananas are supposed to be shaped etc.
  Conditions regarding how the internet is to be run and accessed.
  Conditions to be more green, pay more carbon tax, etc.
  
  The EU will be looking for that “ring” to rule over all the kingdoms, even the one way out of “middle earth” down under.
  
  Many of the current government will see that it would allow another alternative to jump to, the EU, than just the UN.

  Yes, I loved that programme, apolitical too.
  Can’t work out what’s going on because Simon Morton keeps saying he is just taking a break but makes it sound more final than that. Radio NZ has just gone steadily downhill over the last couple of years. Apart from the apalling Guyon Espiner posing as a maori and subjecting everyone to longer and longer rants in maori, they stopped Sounds Historical, one of their best programmes, Lloyd Scott has retired, they have taken on John Campbell and Karyn Hay and now this. What a sad excuse for what was once a wonderful station…a bit like the NZ Herald, really.

As Housing Prices Soar, New Zealand Tackles a Surge in Homelessness – The New York Times

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/22/world/australia/new-zealand-homeless.html

AUCKLAND, New Zealand — New Zealand is known to many outsiders as a beautiful, affluent country, the place where the “Lord of the Rings” movies were made. But Joseph Takairangi and thousands of others know it better for the expensive housing that lies far out of their reach.

On a recent cool night in a misty rain, Mr. Takairangi and some of his friends were looking for somewhere to spend the night. They had decamped to a parking lot after being ejected from a stretch of takeaway food shops in Henderson, an Auckland suburb.

Soon, a speaker mounted on a wall above them crackled: “Move along, please, guys.”

New Zealand has the highest homelessness rate among the wealthy nations that make up the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a Yale University study found last year, though it noted that definitions of homelessness vary by country. Social workers here say the country’s homeless — 1 percent of the population, according to a comprehensive study from a New Zealand university — increasingly include people with jobs. …

… Auckland, the country’s largest city, consistently ranks among the 10 least affordable housing markets in Demographia International’s annual global survey, which measures house prices against income. … read more via hyperlink above …

“The assumption is that that level of surveillance will decrease reoffending, but there’s not a lot of evidence for that. Placed under that sort of pressure, it might cause them to commit crime rather than not.”

Yep he is blaming Police and Probation etc for ‘driving’ Tony Robinson to murder that poor woman…

      You are a bit out of touch, Johnboy. All the paperclip accountants were made redundant yonks ago to reduce the numbers in the core public service. Most departments now contract in the services of quantitative office logistics specialists, however, so the vital function of paperclip audit and reconciliation is still performed.

John Roughan: The public would not respond well to baby’s political exploitation
:::
blah blah blah … and then this:

But if Labour is re-elected it will probably have less to do with the Prime Minister’s toddler, and everything to do with whether she has kept this coalition together. So far she is doing exceptionally well.

:::

Jacinda appears to have thoroughly won the respect of Winston Peters who carries the task of keeping the coalition together over the next six weeks.

Riiight. Winston demonstrated that respect by suing his own government within minutes of our Little Pony heading off to calve.

Seriously… what planet (or plant) is Roughan on?

      Since you’ve moved to a palatial townhouse in a gated community in the best part of Eke nasska I suppose we can no longer expect reports from the neighbours on your strange sexual practices? 🙂

      That’s the latest offering dumped down the seaward face of Kaiti Hill.
      
      There was a fat old ewe at the mobsters’ place this arvo…. we might wander up the hill tomorrow and collect its guts for some haggis & sausages.

    No longer in Eke or gated JB. We bought a retirement home amongst the peasantry in what passes for an upmarket part of Masterton. Fortunately for my sanity we’re also buying a holiday home in the Far North.
    
    The theory is that by alternating residences the neighbours won’t get a pattern to the sex parties. 🙂

What’s the story with the fairy princesses father? I thought he’d been gifted a cruisey number, dozing under a coconut tree in the islands. It seems he is back here in Christchurch taking a wood working course? Maybe twitford has recruited him to help build his thousands of houses.

A quick contrast between Advent #1 & Advent #2:

#1 The impending birth of Baby Jesus was announced by a star in the Eastern sky.

#2 The impending birth of Jacinda junior was announced (ad nauseam) by a pack of mad bitches masquerading as MSM journalists.

1# So far as we can tell the Messiah made His entry to the World when He was good & ready.

2# The arrival of the nation’s First Baby was choreographed to coincide with the evening TV news.

#1 There’s no mention of the first changing of the straw in the manger

#2 The diligent NZ MSM had the changing of the first shitty nappy covered within the hour.

#1 Apart from waffling some crap about “immaculate conceptions” Mary had bugger all to say about the birth.

#2 Jacinda has tweeted her little heart out while waiting for a good offer from the MSM before blabbing everything.

Conclusion: PR & info massaging has made great strides in the past two millennia. 🙂

    I realise that scraping the shit off your arse with your fingers probably isn’t as effective as using toilet paper but don’t you think that they could employ someone to hose the swimmers down before they enter the pool? 🙂

MM you have been found out.

Companies are paying internet “trolls” to answer back to customers in a way the company couldn’t without generating controversy, new research has found.

Trolling – the art of getting people angry for the fun of it – has gone from being an annoyance to an industry, or perhaps both.

“Some more risky brands are paying trolls to pose as customer service reps to respond to complaints and questions in a way the brand couldn’t or wouldn’t usually,” says University of Canterbury doctoral student Maja Golf-Papez.

She found there’s a difference between trolls and cyber bullies.

“A troll typically has no intent to cause harm but is trying to provoke a reaction, whereas cyber bullying is targeted with the purpose of causing harm to an individual person.”

Academic supervisor and co-author Associate Professor Ekant Veer says Ms Golf-Papez’ research has proven not all trolls belong under bridges.

After posting eight years of record profits Commonwealth Bank has a record fine – the largest in Australian corporate history at NZ$760 million.

Australia’s financial intelligence unit AUSTRAC found the bank failed to flag suspicious transactions, breaching money laundering and anti-terror laws more than 53,000 times.

Every transaction over AU$10,000 must be reported to Australian authorities, but the bank’s Intelligent Deposit Machines reported nothing for three straight years.

In that period, the bank admits, millions of dollars were laundered to drug syndicates offshore. The penalty could’ve been larger, a maximum of more than AU$1 trillion.

TED Talks | Pedophilia Is A Natural Sexual Orientation

“Pedophiles and radical leftists both are adamant that children can “consent” to all manner of things, and if pedophilia is enshrined under human right legislation as a protected sexual orientation, then they will be pushing relentlessly to affirm that children can “consent” to sex with adults.
They are pushing to normalize pedophilia by reclassifying it as a normal sexual orientation. Their argument is of course “we’re doing this to protect the children”, but there is absolutely no reason why pedophilia must be reclassified as a sexual orientation for there to be confidential mental health resources available to pedophiles.”

The madness continues…

From Nasska’s religion today segment: French Catholic priest forced to retire after slapping crying baby

A French Catholic priest today spoke of his shame after being forced into instant retirement for hitting a two-year-old boy for crying during his baptism.
…
In a video of the incident that has gone viral, a clearly irritated Father Jacques is seen shouting at the boy. “Calm down, calm down, you must calm down,” he says, adding “be quiet” before squeezing the boy’s face in his hands. The priest then stares at the boy in the eyes, and slaps him hard on the cheek with his left hand. The aggression prompts an immediate reaction from the boy’s horrified parents and other family members, who finally prise him away from Father Jacques’s grip.

Denying that the assault was too severe, Father Jacques told France Info radio on Friday: “It was somewhere between a caress and a slap, I hoped to calm him down, I didn’t know what to do. The child was screaming a lot and I had to turn his head to pour water over it.

So a cheek squeeze, a slap in the face and then waterboarding torture. Outrageous!

Almost feel sorry for Ross Ardern who presents as a rather confused old bugger.

His daughter is very head strong and caused more than a few problems for her parents.

One was turning her back on the Morman faith and announcing her following of Marxist ideals. Another was her hooking up with a dodgy guy with a history as a womaniser.

She is a loving parents worse nightmare.

Watch this video.

It breaks down the cohorts in various western countries that have emigrated since 1990, their IQ’s, and their cultural dimensions of freedom.

It provides the empirical bases for an alt-right political orientation. Not that I am – but understanding these facts means I can understand their view-points.

If immigration continues – as is planned – into the West, the free market and the Enlightenment structures of government that characterise our civilization WILL not survive. 100%. 1 in 4 Canadians is a foreign born national. There are 50million in America if you pretend there aren’t 30million illegals. The average IQ’s of some of these cohorts is absolutely astounding. Haiti has an average IQ of 67 – and there are 700k in America. The Welfare state is a function now of immigration – immigrants get welfare, and white people pay for that welfare. It’s a basic balance – once debits outweigh credits, the global economy will collapse.

That is 100% guaranteed.

Also – please read this legislation that got passed today in New South Wales. It’s the Tommy Robinson Legislation.

I hate the monotony of being right when you assume the worst.

https://twitter.com/VicAlhadeff/status/1010060798910058496?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/bill/files/3524/XN%20Crimes%20Amendment%20(Publicly%20Threatening%20and%20Inciting%20Violence)%20Bill.pdf

David Garrett needs to read this. Because if the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies pushed this, it will be national in Australia in all states at all levels within months.

>>>It is now an offence punishable by 3 YEARS IMPRISONMENT in NSW to make a statement that is true, which does not in fact incite violence or change anyone’s state of mind, about someones’:

race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or intersex status
or HIV/AIDS status.

They say it is a prohibition to “prohibit a person from intentionally or recklessly, by a public act, threatening or inciting violence”.

Well gee, that sounds fine, I guess. A public act of threatening or inciting violence must consist of something analogous to assault/Battery?

Definition of public act:

For the purposes of the proposed offence, a public act includes:
(a) any form of communication (including speaking, writing, displaying notices, playing of
recorded material, broadcasting and communicating through social media and other
electronic methods) to the public, and
(b) any conduct (including actions and gestures and the wearing or display of clothing, signs,
flags, emblems and insignia) observable by the public, and
(c) the distribution or dissemination of any matter to the public.

any communication
any conduct
any dissemination of information to anyone.

‘Incitement to Violence’

Get it? The leaked Rotherham Royal Commission Report will never be shared now in NSW – because Vic Alhadeff thinks truth is an incitement to violence punishable by three years imprisonment.

You know what will incite violence? This legislation. Because if you can’t say anything, what is left?

Just so you understand the scale – David’s recent series of articles about high risk individuals with crime histories would be liable under this legislation. I don’t care what anyone says – it would be liable. I would be able to prosecute that matter with a reasonable assurance of success, knowing what this bill is designed to do – which is kill Free Speech and turn the whole of NSW into a Rabbi’s clergy – where now, just like in the Hasidic tradition, the top echelon of the top chosen people decide, by force, what people are allowed to think say and do.

Those men were all Polynesian, and the blogposts were clearly an incitement for individuals to which violence upon them, as members of a group, by suggesting they are incapable of rehabilitation and that they must be kept in prison.

There is so much I want to write, but I’m too dismayed and disheartened by this. This is a gut punch. That video from Stefan Molyneux pointing out data that Vic Alhadeff knows and wants to exploit – could now be considered an incitement to violence in NSW.

It points out true immigration cohort data.

NSW is now one of the most anti-free speech jurisdictions in the world.

We are all Tommy Robinson now. NZ is Rivendell.

I’m demoralised.

I didn’t realise that the NSW Liberals were capable of this level of sheer Judas betrayal of everything they say they stand for.

Just as an aside – note that the legislation says it’s now punishable by THREE YEARS IMPRISONMENT to say that someone, or any group, have AIDS.

That’s linked to recent efforts to ‘recognise human rights’ for the AIDS infested to give blood.

If you are a cancer patient, Dialysis, suffer sepsis – you now can’t trust blood from NSW and really Australia.

It is now punishable by THREE YEARS IMPRISONMENT to make true statements about an individual with Aids, and deny that individual the right to give blood.

Yeah – this is going to do the opposite of what Vic Alhadeff wanted.

If there is anything John Key showed, it’s that he, like Maori in Australia, shows how profoundly beneficial Jews can be when they give up their neuroses.

Because John Key in a TRILLION years would never have passed such a Nazi/Communist provision as this.

It destroys everything. Truth doesn’t matter. Whether an Incitement has occurred doesn’t matter. You go to jail for 3 years.

Now – it’s going to be illegal to make true statements in Australia about protected attributes.

I’m just dismayed. Really, this is like a declaration of war on free speech – and the Liberals pulled the trigger.

Okay? This isn’t about identity. DPF would fall afoul of these provisions. They rob everyone of the ability to make true statements that are politically incorrect – punishable by THREE YEARS IMPRISONMENT.

There was no need for this, none. They already have laws.

This is Tommy Robinson legislation – now, in NSW, the secret Genrikh Yagoda police can arrest you and take you away if you ever utter or give anyone any wrong-think anywhere – EVEN IF ITS TRUE, EVEN IF IT DOESN’T IMPACT ANYONE’S STATE OF MIND.

I told everyone here this would happen.

I’ll do a longer post tomorrow maybe. The ramifications of this legislation are simply catastrophic, and I’m too angry to think clearly.

It seems as though all the most garish propaganda and conspiracy theories are true.

New South Wales has gone from a relatively free state to one of the worst anti-free speech jurisdictions in the world, because everyone there got stabbed in the back Vic Alhadeff and his organization. This is all just first reading.

What a disgrace. And what a way to create real hostility to you when you say your aim is to try and prevent that.

  What can you say?
  
  Any form of speech whether or not it’s true, whether or not it even changes someone’s state of mind, related to any identity attribute favoured by the Jews in Australia punishable by three years imprisonment in Australia , because of Vic Alhadeff and the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies.
  
  In Australia.
  
  There are hundreds of thousands of kiwis in Australia.
  
  I’ll do something proper tomorrow. But I’m just demoralized. New Zealand will be next.
  
  And these people will conflate reaction with cause and when people like me are absolutely flabbergasted, horrified, and then move through the logical series of emotions they will say ‘Ah – see! Expressions of Violence! This is why we imposed the legislation!”
  
  It’s a very crude phrase. But now I truly understand what it means – they cry out as they strike you.
  
  Nothing deserves this. John Key was an incredible Prime Minister because like Maori in Australia, he was able to be comfortable with himself and shed all the history, and simply put his massive talents to making NZ a better place. He didn’t turn NZ into a Stasi Police state where true statements that don’t even have any impact were punishable by three years in prison. I still can’t believe it.
  
  What can you say? I can’t believe what they’ve done. It’s just so disgusting and appalling I am lost for words – which you might now understand rarely happens.
  
  New Zealand is it. New Zealand will be the last place in the world left where you can talk about what happened to the million raped little girls in England. Because the first amendment won’t survive Trump – England is gone. Now, completely out of the blue, Australia is gone. Because NSW is the driver of Australia and this will spread.
  
  There was no need for this. There really wasn’t. How can people with all the money and power and influence in the world feel this victimised that they would be willing to do this?
  
  We’re all Tommy Robinson now. I’ll do a full post tomorrow. Better enjoy the last days of free speech left ladies and gentlemen.

  Why the downticks? Are you kidding me?
  
  Seriously?
  
  How am I wrong?
  
  Do you think it’s justified to put people in prison for THREE YEARS because they say something that is true, which may not even change anyone’s opinion, related to major subjects of discussion?
  
  How can a group claim to be a victim when they victimise everyone who has an opinion about pretty much everything?
  
  Race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, intersex status, and HIV/AIDs.
  
  Are you kidding me? John Key was our best Prime Minister. Rosa Luxembourg is one of my favourite intellectuals. Daniel Horowitz is my favourite jurist.
  
  Now tell me what you would have thought of John Key if he’d imposed this legislation on New Zealand?
  
  Forget it was the Australian Jewish community.
  
  Imagine it was any other group of people at all. Imagine it was One Nation if you have to, if that’s what it takes to get passed the nonsensical and ridiculous conditioning.
  
  How as a society are you supposed to talk about a massive massive swathe of political subject matter, if there mere act of doing so is an incitement to violence punishable by three years in prison?
  
  Forget about who lobbied for it – I want arguments that what they did is appropriate.
  
  Because here are some of the things we punish in NZ commensurately to true statements that don’t change state of mind:
  
  Pedophile grooming:
  
  124A Indecent communication with young person under 16
  (1) A person of or over the age of 16 years is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 years if he or she intentionally exposes a person under the age of 16 years (the young person) to indecent material (whether written, spoken, visual, or otherwise, alone or in combination
  
  Incest:
  
  s 131(3): Every one is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 years who does an indecent act on a dependent family member under the age of 18 years.
  
  Beastiality
  
  144 Indecency with animal
  Every one is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 years who commits any act of indecency with an animal.
  
  Murdering babies:
  
  s 178 infanticide”….she should not be held fully responsible, she is guilty of infanticide, and not of murder or manslaughter, and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 years”.
  
  s 179 (3) Aiding and Abetting Suicide
  
  A person who commits an offence against subsection (2) is liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 years.
  
  Aggravated Assault
  
  192 Aggravated assault
  (1)
  Every one is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 years
  
  s 200 Poisoning with intent
  (2)
  Every one is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 years who, with intent to cause inconvenience or annoyance to any one, or for any unlawful purpose, administers to, or causes to be taken by, any person any poison or other noxious substance.
  
  There’s many more – maybe the ‘least’ serious are the crimes of selling materials designed to aid commission of crimes, and treason.
  
  Downtick all you want. This happened, and it is what it is.
  
  You’re all conflating the reaction with the cause. I don’t care what those people do. They’re good people. But this, this is absolutely disgusting and now there will be reaction, which is a RESPONSE not a CAUSE for the end of free speech in Australia.

If New Zealand is to crack the problems of unaffordable housing, government here must look seriously at how the better parts of America finance infrastructure, Eric Crampton argues | interest.co.nz

https://www.interest.co.nz/opinion/94430/if-new-zealand-crack-problems-unaffordable-housing-government-here-must-look-seriously

By Eric Crampton*

This seems about the worst possible month to be suggesting that anybody should try to emulate anything going on in America. The place seems to be going mad in ways no longer funny to laugh at from very far away.

So it’s a bit of a shame that the best lessons on infrastructure financing and affordable housing come from a few places in the United States that have really figured things out. If the exact same lessons had come from Canada, or the UK, or Estonia, Infrastructure New Zealand would have an easier time marketing its latest report.

If New Zealand is going to crack the problems of unaffordable housing, government here is going to have to look seriously at how the better parts of America finance infrastructure. Within the same country, you can find major urban areas like San Francisco that are as unaffordable as Auckland, others like Atlanta, or Houston, where housing remains very affordable – and plenty in-between.

In April, an Infrastructure New Zealand delegation visited Portland, Denver, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and San Francisco. Their report, “Enabling City Growth: Lessons from the USA”, was released last week. … read more via hyperlink above …

  As Housing Prices Soar, New Zealand Tackles a Surge in Homelessness – The New York Times
  
  https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/22/world/australia/new-zealand-homeless.html
  
  AUCKLAND, New Zealand — New Zealand is known to many outsiders as a beautiful, affluent country, the place where the “Lord of the Rings” movies were made. But Joseph Takairangi and thousands of others know it better for the expensive housing that lies far out of their reach.
  
  On a recent cool night in a misty rain, Mr. Takairangi and some of his friends were looking for somewhere to spend the night. They had decamped to a parking lot after being ejected from a stretch of takeaway food shops in Henderson, an Auckland suburb.
  
  Soon, a speaker mounted on a wall above them crackled: “Move along, please, guys.”
  
  New Zealand has the highest homelessness rate among the wealthy nations that make up the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a Yale University study found last year, though it noted that definitions of homelessness vary by country. Social workers here say the country’s homeless — 1 percent of the population, according to a comprehensive study from a New Zealand university — increasingly include people with jobs. …
  
  … Auckland, the country’s largest city, consistently ranks among the 10 least affordable housing markets in Demographia International’s annual global survey, which measures house prices against income. … read more via hyperlink above …

    Leak latest saga in ongoing Christchurch Airport hotel ‘disaster’ | Stuff.co.nz
    
    https://i.stuff.co.nz/business/104889096/leak-latest-saga-in-ongoing-christchurch-airport-hotel-disaster
    
    A major water leak at the $82 million Novotel Christchurch Airport has those involved labelling it a “disaster”.
    
    The water leak caused significant damage, insiders say, and comes after extensive delays because of mistakes with steel and multiple problems with pre-fabricated bathroom pods. … read more via hyperlink above …

    Lincoln (South Christchurch): From mill town to boom town … John McCrone … The Press
    
    https://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/103331085/lincoln-from-mill-town-to-boom-town
    
    It was supposed to be a post-quake phenomenon, yet there is little sign of it slowing. Why are rural fringe towns like Lincoln still growing so fast? JOHN McCRONE reports.
    
    The contrast is striking. In central Christchurch, Fletcher Living is taking forever to get going on its East Frame townhouse and apartment block development.
    
    Government and council have agreed that denser inner city housing is vital to making a success of the earthquake rebuild. Yet despite inking a deal with Fletcher to build nearly 1000 homes back in 2015, the first 20 properties won’t be finished until late this year.
    
    The buyers just don’t seem to be there for them. And so the East Frame development has been uphill all the way.
    
    However, take the road half an hour out of town to Lincoln and the story is the opposite. This once sleepy village has exploded with subdivisions. Its residential footprint is now 10 times what it was 20 years ago.
