  Hay, if you can have members in the witless protection program, surely they can wear silly hats. Then next week they will be bringing squirrels as well.

    Squirrels worn as Davy Crockett hats.
    
    The father of the nation is proud to be wearing his squirrel across his face………
    
    Is Mike Bush’s clamp down concerning comments about Jethro still in force. It obviously does not apply to him so be prepared for a tsunami of media releases. The growing of a beard is currently making headlines. FFS.

      My missus was just saying, “For christ sake, why would any self-respecting white male want to grow such an unkempt looking beard like that?”

Fears Lauren Southern and Steven Molyneux might upset the Maoris, oooh!
And they won’t be speaking to RNZ, aaargh!

https://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/363245/fear-controversial-pair-s-speech-will-incite-racism-they-were-mocking-aboriginal-culture

Check out the photo of ‘TV Personality’ Te Hamua Nikora who I’ve never heard of, he looks like he fell face first into a mince pie.

For the last time.

It’s not about Southern & Molyneux.

It’s about Phil Goff (of all people) unilaterally deciding who we can or can’t go and listen to.

It’s about the execrable Valerie Morse (of all people), who burnt the NZ flag in front of veterans and expected to be allowed to, because of her rights.

If Goff and Morse are against it, I’m all for it, don’t care what it is.

  Morse also got deported from USA for attacking and damaging an American Airforce Plane. She still talks with a pseudo American accent. Born in Takapuna Go figure. Also got off lightly with the alleged terrorists actitivies in the Ureweras. Not forgetting many many other bad news actions on her crime sheet.

  Meanwhile the Stuff newspaper chain continues to soften up its declining white readership for another round of Treaty “settlements”.
  
  I don’t know why this chain doesn’t fully convert to printing in the Maori language and be done with it.
  
  Maybe the two big tax-exempt tribes are in talks with Fairfax to buy the chain.

  These so called “anti fascists” are themselves far left extremists.
  
  They seem to be a motley crew of marxists , anti white nationalist maori nationalists , anti white race racists who claim for themselves all the freedoms and liberties they want to deprive anyone else of whose ideas they don’t agree with .

    I am not convinced Antica understand what fascism is and what its symbol the fasces actually represents. Spoiler it’s left wing collectivism just like Nazism and communism…
    
    Interestingly in the temple of the dictator and tyrant Abraham Lincoln modelled after the temple to Zeus the front arm rests of the throne he sits on resembles fasces. I don’t hear of Antica taking a stance against Lincoln or protesting any other far left pressure group.
    
    They should change their name to accurately represent their support of fascism perhaps to ‘brown shirts’ or the ‘red Legion’ or something.

  Just remember, that although Tommy has been let out of prison, a re-trial on the Leeds related contempt charges has been ordered which will be held at the Old Bailey in front of a different judge. So he may not be out of the woods yet. His appeal concerning the earlier Canterbury related charges was dismissed (except for a minor clarification of the suspended sentence). The current situation is he is committed to prison for 3 months suspended for 18 months (from May 2017). Interestingly in the UK those committed to prison for contempt are to be treated as remand prisoners, not sentenced prisoners. He was wrongly treated as a sentenced prisoner following the Leeds case when the three months committal was ‘activated’.

        Yeah let’s be realistic Tommy is left leaning and a nationalist, so he is more of a national socialist than a right winger.
        
        But I don’t know what his political views have to do with his prison sentence. Surely in a western country ones political views should have no bearing on any criminal proceedings. Yet the media is reporting on it as if that is the case.
        
        Anyway the left can keep him. Pretty sure Lauren is left leaning as well.

    Here is why I think Tommy Robinson was grossly mistreated. He is a white guy and he is critical of Islam and exposing its seedy underbelly.
    He was filming court proceedings, outside the court, of Muslim sexual offenders. He was arrested, tried and sentenced all on the same day and spent months in solitary confinement.
    
    Now imagine if it was a Muslim outside a court reporting on say catholic priest sexual offences? He would never be arrested by the police and he certainly would never be sent to jail. In fact he would probably be lauded in the mainstream media.
    
    That’s the problem – there are 2 standards of justice in Britain. Anyone who insults Islam can expect the harshest treatment. Anyone who insults say Christianity – no worries it’s all good.
    
    The British justice system should stop kowtowing to Muslims. And they should stop persecuting their own citizens who are actually reporting on what is actually happening among the Muslim community.

    Jesus, read about his treatment in jail.
    -Lost 20kg in 2 months.
    -Moved to a high-muslim pop prison where he was keep in solitary for 23.5 hours a day (for his safety from Muslims), with only a mat on the floor
    -had to live on a can of tuna a day because other food preped by Muslim prisoners who threatened to poison him.
    -had to keep window closed due to prisoners throwing shit through them (hard as there has been a heat-wave).

      This is where it will get interesting. He was supposed to have been received and treated as a remand prisoner (wear own clothes, easier communications and visitor access, etc). The interesting issue is whether because of his mis-classification as a sentenced prisoner, he could claimed to have been ‘unlawfully detained’ and hence be awarded damages.

Probably only a few days until the biggest ‘Virtue Signalling’ publicity stunt in New Zealand Political History.
A mate who works for Fairfax tells me they all know it is coming- and they are pretty much on Stand-by for it!
I asked him why if they knew it was coming, and even the Media admit it is a bit of a Political stunt, then why not bloody call her out on it??
A- “Because everyone loves a feel-good story and this will be International news!”

      The media love to compare the commie chick [Is she a commie hen now that she has bred?] to the other Prime Minister who gave birth while in office – Benazir Bhutto.
      
      Bhutto was assassinated with a suicide bomb in which more than 20 other people were killed.
      There was an attempt 2 months earlier where 180 supporters were killed.
      They may want to tone down on comparisons.
      
      Not that NZ media are very good with history.
      I don’t even trust what they say about yesterday.

        What’s your point?
        The only comparison that’s been made between the two has been they had babies whilst leading their country.
        Apart from that there’s precious little similarity in their circumstances.

  Longknives – Too soon for a wedding – they’ll save that for desperate times so it must be an engagement announcement. As PM I don’t think she is fit for purpose, maybe she should be Deputy at this time if she must be there at all.

    Yes the engagement will come after a contraction of gdp or an increase in unemployment. The wedding will come just when the CoL is facing certain electoral annihilation. I wonder if she will have another?

  Roll up, roll up and place your bets:

  * Shucks everyone, we are getting married!
  
  * Shucks everyone, we are going to adopt a child!
  
  * Move over Angela Jolie, we are going to adopt a child from overseas!
  
  * Fantastic news Kiwi’s, we’ve bought exclusive rights to be on the front cover of No Idea each week until the 2020 election!
  
  * Etc!
  
  The good thing is, they could just do one now, then another at the beginning of 2019, then another at the end of 2019, then another in 2020 and hey presto the MSM will lap it up each time and provide endless continuous publicity! Best of all Kiwi’s can’t escape to Australia, their MSM will lap it up too! Arrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!

CoL announcing beneficiaries will be signed up to apprenticeships. Employers will be paid a subsidy to take on young beneficiaries. Details to be released next week

What is the cut off age? What is wrong with apprenticeships for the mature unemployed?
Some beneficiaries may successfully transition to work but what about the no-hopers and untrainable?

    Colville, I wasn’t criticising the apprenticeship scheme idea for motivated kids currently on the benefit. More power to those kids for a great kick-start to a long working life. I am concerned about the more difficult, hard to shift, unmotivated and downright lazy or thick beneficiaries who know all the tricks in the book to maintain their couch-potato status. Good luck getting them to stick with any work schemes. I’d also hate to see motivated mature people who would love to be included miss out due to their age.

    We have about 4.5% unemployment at the moment. At that level unemployment is pretty much ‘structural’, they will be the <75IQ unemployables, or those with drug or psychological issues. Generally won't make good tradespeople (who need flexible intellect and initiative)

      At IQ<85 people drop out of employability. That'd be about 1/6 of the Euro-Kiwi population.
      
      We need to think of creative way to provide work for those less abled. Why can't manual labour still be done? I know of one fellow who happily works all day that way cleaning up waterways. He's happy he can work and make a modest living.

        Not at 85, much much lower. Closer to 75. That’s about 5% of European pop (avg 100, stddev 15) and about 13% of Maori (avg 90, stddev 15).
        
        And in unemployment we see a typical ratio of between 2 and 4x as many unemployed Maori as Europeans in NZ. QED
        http://archive.stats.govt.nz/~/media/Statistics/browse-categories/income-work/employment-unemployment/ethnic-labour-force-stats-by-age/Figure3.gif
        
        The lesson being that there is no possibility of reducing the number of Maori unemployed with respect to Europeans in an egalitarian society to try is a complete waste of effort/money. The same issue is reflected in prison numbers. But politicians will continue to waste taxpayer money on this until they dump the anti-science left-wing PC apologetics and start to make policy based on reality.

        @Viking2
        It is far too un-PC to suggest that people have different innate potential. Basing policy on that false belief is unresponsive.
        
        Much better to recognise that we effectively live in a global village and that ensure we see that work is available across the wide spectrum of abilities. We don’t expect clerks to dig ditches but if people who can only do manual work need work why not provide the opportunity? If that is considered “uneconomic” how is it better to pay the dole than a likely lesser subsidy?
        
        People on lesser incomes succeeding in work make for a healthier, happier society. We should not feel overly concerned that we may have to pay a subsidy to create an effective job at a lower skill and pay grade. Not doing so will cost the community more. It’s not socialism either but pragmatism.

Amazing the good vibes that exist between The US President and our PM. Not only over work visas but in general. Nothing but warm fuzzies exchanged in two letters between them,

Great excitement
Terrific!
MAGA!
Fantastic!
Tremendous!

And so forth

Not since the great days of the. Former PM and former President have we seen. such a stupendous example of an “entente cordial” between the two great nations.

KBs Trump supporters will now know what Green MP Eugenie Sage meant having to” swallow a dead rat.”

  No. She has plenty of time do all of that with the amount of staff running around feeding squirrel and looking after it. The fisherman can even do his own thing, he’s not even needed to provide the armond milk. She aln’t no solo mum.

    Had to laugh this morning. Professional photo of Cindy and her family. Clarky has grown a beard that badly needed trimming off his neck. The guy on TV3 described it as “looking like a neck scarf”. ?

Jacinda is going to fix business confidence.
She said in her interview yesterday that she is working on a plan for a month and will then make a major speech.

  Classic Ardern. Like she up with a plan “6 years ago with her friend in Hastings” to pay people on the Bennie more money.
  
  Here’s how you deal with business confidence…don’t be a soft touch, be honest in your interviews, get rid of underperforming colleagues, think before you speak, listen to people who know what they are talking about. Too much I know…

    There’s no way the COLL are going to fix business confidence. Astute businesses are aware of economic reality–the COLL aren’t. Businesses can sense the credit tightening. High paid MP’s are isolated from being sensitive to that. They are planning for an un-reality. That’s why the reject Treasury reports as the conflict with their feelz chamber views.

Isn’t Simon Bridges an utter lightweight!! This week he has mouthed-off about class sizes in schools, something which has been screamed about by the vile teachers’ unions for a long time…then he becomes a proponent of dope legalisation. As a former Crown Prosecutor surely he’s heard the destructive nature of this so-called beneficial and peaceful narcotic. Bridges is too occupied being a flighty jerk to truly qualify as National’s leader. He’d make a great leader for Lab/Greens any day of the week. National aren’t going to take the next election with him in command.

    I like both Simon and Amy and in fact her speaking style on PQT is good. However many MPs sound as though have never even seen their questions before. They stutter and stammer with their heads down and are an embarrassment. For heavens sake practise in front of a mirror. Sound as though you have fire in your bellies.

  However National needs to stop pandering to the soft labour voter. Smaller class sizes and legalising marijuana for medical purposes won’t energise the base.
  
  Look our economy is going down the toilet. Beat that drum. Promise to do something about slashing burdensome regulations, Lower taxes, free up the economy. Watch our economy take off under National.
  
  Ditch these Labour losers, they cannot run a cake stall, let alone oversee our economy. This is the drum Bridges should be beating.

    I like Simon as well. I can see he is in a tricky position as National has no coalition partners so is trying to appeal to swing voters. The trouble with the class size announcement is that Labour are already working on it. As a parent I am disappointed that he could be ok with the development of a cannabis industry that will be designed to target and grow a significant user base amongst our young people. All the pot heads I have met are greenies and socialists so I can see where this is going.

      SGA-Nothing wrong with being a man, nothing wrong with having a family. And he is married to his wife as opposed to another prominent politician who is not married and seems to have no intention of getting married. But was very vocal in campaigning that gays should be able to get married.
      
      And nothing wrong with being a Baptist. Or being a Christian generally. Many of our most prominent politicians have been Christians.
      
      Probably Helen Clarke stood out most for her agnosticism. I’m not sure about John Key? He would be quite happy going along to a Christian music festival like parachute. But then he was equally happy going to the Gay pride parade the next day. So never quite figured him out?

    A GFC is in the wings. In a few more months the real economic situation should be visible. Best to let Labour flounder around till then as they will not be able to handle what they are almost certainly facing.
    If any one of the COLL had any knowledge of economic history they would wanted to have avoided getting into government at this time.
    Perhaps the smarter ones have avoided it and we are left with the B Team.

  Marijuana has been fucked around with forever. Timne it was decriminalized and turned into tax money. And the same applies to “E”
  Why is some much meth around. Because E used to be the party drug of choice albeit not quality controlled.

I finally did it. After a lifetime of subscribing to a daily newspaper I cancelled our subscription to the DimPost, and I feel good. No more will this biased, hard left excrement soil our coffee table. We are not saying goodbye to a newspaper but to a shabby little political pamphlet. Okay, we will need to find another source of newsprint for starting the fire and wrapping the scraps, and undergo therapy for a Pavlovian instinct to go searching the front lawn each morning. But it’s so worth it.

  Join the queue Justitia, the Dompost/Herald are going down hill faster than than a wagon full of fat kids. Crunch time will be later this year or early next year when those dailies probably become 3 times a week publishers. Saturdays will remain broadsheet meantime because advertisers prefer the bigger displays.

    The stephies are not up to the same level of bile as the Z man (sam is just plain loopy), don’t have a patch on him really, and from time to time he does actually drop the facade and make some sense !

Seems NZs far left newspaper Wellingtons’ Dominion -Post cant get enough of the thirty eight year old woman known as Ardern. Talk about the emperor has no clothes.
Just a wee peep checking out her record as the Peters selected NZs PM.
First day he gave her the job,was also the first thing she did.
Jumped in a NZ taxpayer funded Limousine and made a bee line to the CTU.
Her words to them” thank you for your’e support go for it we are with you all the way”.
Since that after her unilateral decision in conjunction with her boss Peters she put the boot into Taranaki “OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION INDUSTRY”.That was just the start of NZs business economy confidence taking a hit. Going from top dog to whimpering pups.
Now the big payback Ardern promised to the unions to go for it. No wonder the lifeblood of NZ .Business confidence is in dire straights with uncertainity.
Wonder what part of the type of lifestyle and well being of NZs are under threat with the actions of Peters and Ardern and the coven from Green Party dosn’t the trade union infested far left newspaper Dominion Post not understand.Time they cancelled their fake news reporting and told the truth about Ardern and her gang of no hopers and NZs economy destroyers.

Jack woke up with a huge hangover after attending his company’s Christmas party. He didn’t even remember how he got home from the party.
As bad as he as feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong.
Jack had to force himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he saw was couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table.
And, next to them, a single red rose! Jack sat up and saw his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed.
He looked around the room and saw that it was in perfect order, spotlessly clean.
So was the rest of the house. He took the aspirins, and cringed when he saw a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror.
Then he noticed a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick:
“Honey, breakfast is on the stove. I left early to get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight. I love you, darling!”
He stumbled to the kitchen and sure enough, there was hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper. His son was also at the table, eating.
Jack asked, “Son, what happened last night?”
“Well, you came home after 3 A.M, drunk and out of your mind. You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door.”
Confused, he asked his son, “So, why is everything in such perfect order and so clean? I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me??
His son replied, “Oh THAT! Mum dragged you to the bathroom to clean you up, and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, ‘Leave me alone bitch, I’m married!”

I am wondering who is behind the wonderful Cindy in political terms – she hasn’ the brains to do many things she fronts.
For example who the hell gave Mahary the headship of Pharmac with the existing CEO leaving after many successful years, the envy of many countries ?
Are we still seeing Helen Clark and her Cindy office minder Heather Simpson behind much of this.
I am beginning to see the media move for the 2020 election whereby with enough changes we will be saddled with Cindy for a long time.
Any Opposition is already deemed irrelevant already.
Peters is still the n….r in the woodpile though – Shane will buy a Northland seat with our money so Peters can be wheeled in his chair any time he chooses to turn up.

  I’m surprised you even have to ask that question Paulus. Even before Ardern took over the Labour leadership, it was clear who was pulling the strings. No less than Helen Clark and Michael Cullen were working the phones the night before Little was rolled, and they weren’t shoring up support for Little.
  
  Then, quick as you like, Heather Simpson appeared in Ardern’s office to bash heads together. Given that Grant Robertson was nicknamed H3 before he became an MP because of his closeness to Clark and Simpson and Ardern was Clark’s personal list pick in 2008, it’s pretty obvious that the former PM has unfinished business and is pulling the strings.

Gosh, oh golly, gee Wizz ……
Many US folks never do things by halves.
As much as I love the thrust of their excellent Constitution, I have trouble understanding the sense of the Congress passing enactments on matters such as law and order and immigration, only to see how some jumped up local pollies can ignore those laws, apparently with impunity. Well, ultimately that may not be the outcome, but the journey to a solution that is the best interests of their whole nation is seemingly so long and so convoluted that only the political activists, lawyers and criminals seem to benefit.
For me the most recent example is the concerted, nation-wide attack on ICE. Portland is known to be a politically idiosyncratic State, but for the Portland Police to be directed not to immediately intervene over the attack on ICE !!!!!
Lord help them (the USA , that is).

As for Trump, he could invent and provide FOC a universal cure for all cancers. But according toi the Dems and their MSM enablers, he would have done it for perverse ulterior motives. And don’t take me near the crazy Manafort business. Pathetic !!!
Oh well…….. It is theirn country, but their political, legal and economic health is important to all nations with a Western culture. There must be something in the Arizona water that breeds or attracts folks like Flake, or even Arpaio. ? McCain was once a sensible, worldly wise soul. But he is now clearly unfit to remain in office.

Then there is the issue of illegal aliens and the Sth Am killer gangs. The Californian idiots let them through a porous border and from there they poison every other State. So, as the mid-terms draw nigh I wonder about the sanity and the East and West coasts, and fret for the future of the USA …. and NZ et al.

In the interests of our nation but no coverage.
Global Compact on Immigration.
I Australia Dutton is being questioned about this Compact that is being discussed with the United Nations.
I bet NZ have been involved possibly with National in the last couple of years.
The UN wants an International Organisation for Immigration which will make decisions and directives on immigration thus taking it out of our hands.
This is a direct threat to our sovereignty !
This whole idea is scandalous and if National were in on these discussions New Zealanders should know.
The UN have requested that countries review immigration according to international law.
We never voted for the UN and our politicians should have nothing to do with this move.

Meanwhile the economy is tanking…..

GDP growth could now head toward the 1’s rather than 2’s when most developed countries are looking at 3-4.

It has only taken them 9 months to this point, think what they can achieve in 3 years. Recession anyone?

When you look at what National achieved & the state of the economy when they departed it is really quite frightening

That reminds me, I need to go to the bank & get some US$

Many of us like to think we’re not a third world country but certain things remind us that we definitely are.
Such as allowing the importation and use of 20 year old buses that have been flogged to death in Japan and would otherwise be on a scrapheap.

Paul Manafort, he was campaign manager for two months, then a paper did an exposé on all his links to the Ukraine and Trump quietly fired him. Hence Bannon and Kellyanne Conway took over. Then the Ukrainians began helping the Clinton campaign. What a waste of money.

  The biggest win for Russia has been the investigation into Trump. The ongoing destabilising and undermining of a presidency is strategically very clever. It makes Putin’s presidency look like a model of stable government.

What is a substantial amount?

If Dime invests a million bucks in setting up in the US, would that get him over the line?

Is your neighbour a far-right extremist?
Warning signs:
-Abstains from drugs & alcohol
-Has a job
-Is physically fit
-Can sometimes be seen reading books
-Has children which appear to be ethnically the same as them (this is usually a dead giveaway)

    Ain’t that the truth!
    
    I happened to walk past the same area at the time and the stench was gut wrenching. It was also obvious that a nearby stairwell had become the communal toilet – it totally honked.
    
    I pity the poor sods who had to clean it up.

  Compare and contrast with the case of Kevin Myers who was fired for merely mentioning that the highest paid woman at the BBC happened to be a Jew – such is the power of International Jewry.

Johnny Moore: (Christchurch) Rebuild roosters hurting CBD hospitality | Stuff.co.nz

https://i.stuff.co.nz/the-press/opinion/105921739/johnny-moore-rebuild-roosters-hurting-cbd-hospitality

… extracts …

… The most destructive thing for central city hospitality has been the rebuild. Whether Cera, Otakaro, or the lousy city council, those charged with helping us have fumbled their way across the central city, leaving a trail of destroyed businesses in their wake.

A few less consultations for the sake of saying you’ve consulted or hacks selling future utopia and a few more on the end of shovels would have seen a better result.

The roosters charged with rebuilding have been so obsessed with master plans, visions and blueprints that they’ve failed to recognise that those doing business in the current environment want to be a part of the future city, want to be the genesis of the future city.

An obsession with removing parking from the street, parking wardens aggressively and vindictively targeting streets where life is peeping through, bike lanes at the expense of everything else and a dogged determination to have hacks with no skin-in-the-game lecture business owners on how to run a business will ensure that more good hospitality businesses go the way of the Neanderthal. … read more via hyperlink above …

The harsh reality of high debt. Sooner than later Trump will have to face reality:
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/02/the-trump-administration-is-headed-for-a-gigantic-debt-headache.html

Swelling government debt levels are shaping up to be the biggest economic challenge for President Donald Trump, a problem that could spill into the stock market.

  Funny how the leftie media didn’t worry about the debt under Obama.
  
  The fact of the matter is that USA has been set up over the last two administrations (Bush & Obama) as high deficit economies. You can’t unwind that overnight.
  
  Once the economy is doing Ok (it is way improved recently), they can start to wind in the deficit. When they get to surplus they can start to wind in debt.
  
  Hopefully they can do that before it is terminal.
  
  Americans already owe $US 175k per taxpayer. That’s a hell of a burden to wind in.

      Yes, they absolutely need to slash defence, especially that retarded F35 program.
      
      BTW: The US defence spending is way lower than it was on average during Obama’s time.
      
      But they also need to cut a lot of other spending too.

      The military’s 50-60% of the budget is for discretionary spending only. In the whole budget, when mandatory spending is included, the military figure for 2015 was 16% plus another 6% for veterans’ benefits.

      Don’t Blame Obama For Doubling The Federal Deficit
      
      Republicans use a sound bite that the federal debt doubled under Obama. In looking at the numbers that is close to being numerically correct but falls short of being 100%. However when you take into account the Great Recession, making W. Bush’s temporary tax cuts permanent, increased Social Security and Medicare spending as more Baby Boomers retire and become 65 years old and the Afghanistan and Iraq wars he inherited the story is quite different.

So I was sitting in traffic on Papanui Rd in Merivale yesterday and I could hear sirens but I couldn’t see any flashing lights coming. Anyhow I cut off Papanui Rd and headed down McDougall Ave to Browns Rd just where Hawkesbury Ave meets (which is about 600m long and runs directly to the western side of Rugby park, where the Crusaders train). Interestingly, for years Richie lived in one these houses. Three houses from the Browns Rd corner on the southern side is where Labour mp Duncan Webb lives. Anyhow, as I pulled onto Hawkesbury Ave I noticed on the northern side about 100m down was a sh!t load of police officers (like 12), sniffer dogs and they’d cuffed a tall white guy, mid 40s, dark hair with a mullet cut (must have been his crime) and he was wearing a nock-off Chicago singlet from the Warehouse. He looked really dumb. But the police resources for one man? WTF?

Give far-right pair a primetime TV slot – Garner
https://www.msn.com/en-nz/news/national/give-far-right-pair-a-primetime-tv-slot-garner/ar-BBLq7Nu?li=AAaeXZz&ocid=spartandhp

A good commentary on the issue from Duncan Garner who seems to have a good grip on what the free speech debate is really about.
Something people who support de-platforming and the like(and there have been a handful on this forum) should read and try to come to terms with.

  I had the Teev on this morning from 6.50 to 7.20 am on Mediaworks AM
  Mark Richardson is a hard shot.
  In that time Duncan Donut gave pretty much wall to wall coverage of the event being held this evening.
  Even in the ‘top five items’ at 7.06 Molyneux and Southern were Numbers 1 and 2.
  Then he interviewed Paul Moon, historian, about them.
  Ruby Lips was aghast so that is a win.
  
  I wonder what that advertising was worth for the event.
  We taxpayers subsidise TV3 at $400,000 per week via NZ on Air.
  That is a fair chunk for nurses pay.
  [NZ on Air $130m pa. plus Maori TV – there s $200 million p.a. that could be used better]
  
  The article you point to S and S is pretty hate filled by TV3 repeater critters:
  Extracts :-
  “Ms Southern is best-known for trying to prevent the rescue of migrants and refugees at risk of drowning in the Mediterranean.”
  
  “Mr Molyneux believes white people are undergoing a deliberate genocide, some races have lower IQs than others and women are to blame for violent men.”
  
  Some might call Garner the poor man’s Paul Henry.
  I think it is more that Garner is the bankrupt man’s Paul Henry.
  Southern and Molyneux have ‘done a Trump’ on the media.
  They have raised the flag up the flagpole and the media follow with endless reporting.
  The media however don’t control the narrative as they normally try to do.
  They snipe from the safety of Mum’s attic.

Tommy Robinson on the appalling treatment he suffered in prison. In solitary confinement 23 and a half hours a day and he lost twenty kilograms in weight.

“They moved me from HMP Hull, which was a 7 percent Muslim population, to the most densely Muslim-populated prison in the country,” he claimed.

“I had threats every day… I couldn’t have my cell windows open because they would be spat through or shit put through, so I had my windows shut all the time,” he said, describing how he struggled with the recent heatwave as a result.

Robinson described this confinement as “23 and a half hours a day, locked in a room [with] a blue mat… and then for thirty minutes a day they open the door and you walk into a cage… small, and you walk around the cage on your own, and then they open the door and lock you back in.”

The Englishman appeared visibly disturbed while recounting his incarceration.

“If every prisoner had that… If that was the sentence for prisoners…” he began, falteringly.

“It was the fact that every other prisoner’s cell door opens at 8 o’clock in the morning and they’re out of their cell working, having football, playing pool, and then they get locked up at 6 o’clock at night,” he finally explained.

“And then I think, I haven’t done anything — but because they’ve brought me to a Muslim-run prison, they’ve used the excuse that this is why they have to [keep me confined].”

Robinson said he could not eat the food which was sent to his cell in case it was poisoned — having been prepared, he said, by Muslim prisoners, who would goad him by asking “How’s your dinner, Tommy?”

He instead subsisted on a tin of tuna a day, as it came sealed and he could be reasonably sure of its safety, plus some fruit.

Levant said that Robinson, who looked far leaner than when he went inside two months ago, had told he had dropped fully 42 pounds — around three stones, or twenty kilograms.

“Tommy knows that he was messed up… I don’t think he even knows how badly,” commented Levant after the interview.

“I think his health has been permanently affected, and that was on purpose,” he added.

      The transgender academic in the TV discussion with Peterson is entitled to his/her opinion, but why did she have to bring New Zealand into the discussion as though we in this country accept the use of invented pronouns?
      
      Peterson is correct on the point of honorifics (Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms etc).
      
      The moderator was biased, saying that as an Asian, language changed, and suggesting the word “oriental” is no long acceptable.

Just and idea. I know you’ll hate it.

We have about 10500 diary farms and let’s say another 9500 suitable dry stock farms. 20,000.

A 100 HA diary farm is about $3,000,000 dollars so about $30,000 a HA.

Pass a law bypassing councils and thier ripoff fees that allow every one of these farms to create 10 1000m2 sections. Base price $3,000. Plus power, transformer, lines, a community septic, and survey. Base price of $30,000 ready to go sections. Allow some profit $20,000 a section. Make them rates exempt until date of purchase from farmer.

Result is 200,000 $50,000 sections.
$10,000,000,000 of economic activity.

Housing crisis solved.

      Actually Aotearoa was the first name given by Captain Cook. When he arrived he was having trouble getting sleep thanks to the aggressive natives in their wakas.
      
      One night he found what appeared to be an empty cove so he put down anchor and went below to get some kip whilst the crew remained to decide on a name for this new land. But he was soon interrupted by the bosun who said they were being approached by an angry native. Cook’s reply was:
      
      Eh? Oh, a terror rower.
      
      And the name stuck.

  What is it with the ‘ei katu (head crown flower garlands) now being worn in the NZ Parliament?
  
  These are a Rarotanga customary item with local rules. They are not allowed in their churches. Are Maori trying to appropriate Rarotonga? Even a green member was wearing one. Following the Rarotangan practice a male MP had one without flowers. Some of the women MP’s had a flower about their ear–a tricky practice with significance.
  
  Has Parliament become a school playground? Where’s the decorum?
  
  Could it be a prelude to Jacinderellas return?

  By doing away with the death penalty and hard time politicians have simply made society dangerous for law abiding citizens , they are failing in their basic duty and agruably have caused even more innocents to be killed , robbed and maimed by the lawless, the vicious , the nasty and evil.

    DiNap15 , the Catholic Church has come along, long way since the middle ages including an apology to the Jews for any omission by their part for their plight under the Nazis.

  Actually, the Pope is wrong here – it contradicts Scripture and the Magisterium, and no Pope can do this on his own – popes can be wrong in what they express as their own opinion.
  I have to say that, IMO, Francis is an embarrassment to the majority of Catholics in the way he expresses his own views as the teaching of the Church.

      ‘The polls missed Donald Trump’s election. Individual polls missed, at the state level and nationally (though national polls weren’t far off). So did aggregated polls. So did poll-based forecasts such as ours. And so did exit polls.’

      Not sure 538’s aggregate Polling is accurate. I reckon you get too much ‘noise’ in the data when you aggregate numerous Polls.

        538 doesn’t rate that poll very highly. And 538 is quite good at showing the range of polling scores. I think it would be rash to proclaim Trump as ‘popular’ on the basis of one or two polls outside the longer run calculations.

  It is not logical to expend resources on doctors who will leave the profession after a couple of years, never to return.

Islam is based on the Jewish old testament and Islam only developed after exposure to Judaism and Christianity. Clearly the Arabs preferred Judaism.

Before Islam: When Saudi Arabia Was a Jewish Kingdo

The discovery of the oldest-known pre-Islamic Arabic writing in Saudi Arabia, from ca. 470 CE, evidently caused some consternation, given its Christian and Jewish context.

I don’t have a problem with speech being so unpopular that people don’t want to host it becasue of the backlash. No one is preventing Southern and Molyneux from speaking – their message is attracting vigorous protest, that’s all.

More developments in the Sarah Jeong (writer for Salzburgers New York Times) race hate story

https://mobile.twitter.com/LarryVonGuild/status/1025071548460412928

One.thing the Sarah Jeong story does do is that it really lifts the lid on the notion of based or model minorities. Some may be more “quiet” than others, but make no mistake – they hate you just as much, and have just as much interest, if not more, in the dispossession of Whites from.their homelands.

‘Offensive’ Māori sign removed at Rotorua tourist attraction
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12100686
“A tongue and cheek sign that has thrilled tourists for 20 years or more at one of Rotorua’s top tourist attractions has been removed after being labelled a grotesque racial stereotype.
Tourists have had fun taking photos through the sign until this week when Māori feminist Moata Tamaira saw a friend’s child wee head pop through in her Facebook feed”.

Why did I kind of guess that good old Rangi the truck driver was not the one getting all precious about this but instead it just happened to be some Maori feminist women.
Obviously got to much spare time on her hands me thinks.

  The appropriate response is to ensure that next time National is in power they stop the left wing media and other opponents of free speech receiving tax-payer funding to push their fringe views on the whole population. No more state funding of activists. Let these nascent thought police survive on what they can sell their views for rather than money extracted under duress from taxpayers.

    Watched TV3 and Paddy Gower interviewed the disappointed Molyneux and Southern when they were informed the venue was not available. They were clearly annoyed but totally calm and stated there is clearly a vocal minority preventing other NZ’ers from hearing what they want to hear. Paddy reported back in the newsroom that “there had been a lot of rapid fire questions and it was the worst interview he had ever had.” Total crap from what I saw.

Pete George has apparently been banned from Trevor Mallard’s “Speaker” Twitter account:

Talking of censorship: I know that Mallard had blocked me from his pre-speaker Twitter, but I don’t recall ever interacting with his @SpeakerTrevor account. I have no idea why he doesn’t want me to see what he tweets as Speaker. Is Parliament a secret society?

And – it’s a bit ironic that Mallard has banned baby shots but promotes himself with a baby photo. I think that’s the baby of an MP, taken in the House.

My goodness…

I see that the Powerstation was due to host Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux but the owner has cancelled it hours before it was to happen because “she didn’t know what kind of people they were” when she agreed to host. Looks like the SJWs got to her…

Molyneux reckons the owners were probably threatened with violence.

The TV 1 “news” item at 6pm tonight about the Southern / Molyneux event was a disgrace.
The reporter (so called) made no attempt to hide his “feelings” and presented a biased, unintelligent, rubbish story.
If that is the best that TV1, state broadcaster, can do, then we are in very big trouble indeed.
Don’t think I have seen anything so bad in a long, long time.
Shame.

  Yes , his angle of attack was that he claimed they claim that multiculturalism has failed/is a failure ( of course we are all meant to embrace same and Aotearoa by implication is a shining beacon of same)
  
  A couple of items into the “news” broadcast we’re told an Aussie league ref is giving it up due to death threats he got here for a decision against Tonga in the league world cup.
  
  Multiculturalism , alive and well in Aotearoa.
  
  I suspect the thick fuckers at TVNZ don’t even get the irony in the self contradictory shit they broadcast and pass off as “news”.
  
  Police 10 7 is another example of how biculturalism has been so successful and brought so many minority types to stardom week after week on TVNZ.

  “Is Gower a moron?”
  
  Haven’t had time to watch his interview with them yet, but I did see him invited on to The Project and Gower spent his time dissing them and pretty much calling them stupid. No critique at all of their message and concerns, Gower just played the man not the ball.
  
  So for me (who hasn’t actually got round to watching any Molyneux/Southern videos yet) I’m none the wiser from watching Gower as to what to think of Molyneux/Southern and their messages.
  
  So thanks to the likes of Gower, I’ll just have to watch some Molyneux/Southern videos and make up my own mind!
  
  PS – Gower was such a hypocrite wanker, firstly he said that free speech was important and twice afterwards he celebrated the fact that Molyneux/Southern were denied their right to speak. So yes “moron” seems rather apt when it comes to describing Gower!

  Gower has proved himself to be outside the camp of those who favour free speech. Shame on him.
  
  We expected the Lefties of TVNZ to rubbish the two Canadians, but a few people thought Gower might stand up for the right to utter unpopular views. They have been disappointed.
  
  May the internet and Netflix finish off our electronic media sooner rather than later. They are following our failing newspapers into the history of obsolescent news media such as town criers and wall posters.

    The internet is not free and is increasingly censored. Remember you don’t know what you don’t know.
    
    Sensible social commentary needs to move to alternative platforms asap. Google, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are all massively censored now. Plans are well underway to stamp out the remaining free speech.
