New Zealand will sign the UN Compact

Listen to the Lair in Chief deny it with Mike Yardly standing in for Mike Hosking. (sorry, can’t find audio or has not been posted yet)

No prizes for guessing what the Friday 4.30 dump is this week then.

Those who voted Labour, Gunt and Fraud, hang your heads in shame for your part in the betrayal of New Zealand

        there’s always one or two on most motorway, usually near a barrier on the overtaking lane, it’s just a matter of stopping, grabbing it and put it on before you or your car are crushed to bits. OK most are orange its the thought that counts.

    I believe there was some sort of protest on the Main Street of Newmarket yesterday.
    About seven people.

      Middle-aged and more conservative people, who are most likely to see the risks this Pact holds, have jobs and businesses.
      
      We need to keep reminding our National MPs to push back against the Migration Pact.

      @skyblue.
      I know a NZ family whose daughter was raped by a potential NZ Islamic Terrorist in Auckland.. He was given nine months curfew . had to be in between the hours of Midnight and Seven am. Plus some counselling and put on NZs Sex offenders register. . Yet on facebook he was photographed holding a rapid fire machine gun. The picture was shown to our NZ Police. They said nothing to see there ,move on.
      The rape by the offender was proven . yet look at the sentence. Could it be he was a Muslim. Surely not. hahahaha.

        But not by using a racist term. The point of sensible people opposing islam is precisely that it is not a race, but an ideology that people should analyse and evaluate. Using the kind of language you used really doesn’t help.

  I don’t think she knows what is going on or what the document says, hoping that that absolves her of accountability. She places the burdon of responsibility on Slease Galloway who couldn’t even read or comprehend a simple Immigration document concerning a friend of a friend of hers. Greedy Winston looks in searching for baubles, and never reads anything anyway.

Bloody wonderful how CoL can fund PI’s overseas retirement funds, pay deadbeats for smoking “P” in state houses, give bogus refugees houses, life-long income (most do not work); pay girls to breed ferals, let a buffoon run around the country giving $millions to his bros, etc, etc, but not give a cent to this worthwhile cause . . .

Healthy Homes Guarantee Act – is Mr Twyford deliberately misleading us? So (finally) someone has delved into the NZIER cost benefit analysis, and come up with several interesting conclusions. Just a few but many more in the document linked below.

– NZIER’s cost benefit analysis is ‘client friendly’. (Read between the lines.)
– Huge numbers of rentals are cold and damp. However –

A comprehensive survey by Building Research Association New Zealand found that only 2.7 percent of tenants thought that their rental was cold and damp. Of that percentage it was not clear what proportion was due to inadequate use of heating and a failure to ventilate by tenants.

– We can trust NZIER amd MBIE to do a decent cost benefit analysis. Hmmm, maybe not …. especially when NZIER were apparently directed by MBIE to leave some things out of the analysis eg underfloor insulation.

Cost benefit outcomes are negative not positive The NZIER’s cost benefit analyses of the proposals were generally ‘client friendly’. Key ‘unhelpful’ documents were sometimes ignored, costs were systematically understated, and unrealistic methodologies were adopted that overstated the net benefits. Our assessments of the net benefits is that they are strongly negative

  govt consultants are mystical creatures that are handed answers by the govt so that they may, after a suitable interval, hand those same answers back accompanied by a large invoice.
  
  In many ways the same as studying the humanities when the real task is to divine and then flatter the beliefs (however ridiculous) of the people who do the marking.

  I think the case for insulation is strongly positive. Makes a huge difference. After that it gets trickier. When I have rented places I would never live in a home that relied on plug in portable heaters. But I like being warm and can pay the bills.
  
  But I have seen high quality properties covered in mould because the tenants refuse to use the heating because they can’t or won’t pay the power bills. And most importantly they leave the windows and curtains closed all winter. So inevitably, landlords will be installing heat pumps that don’t get used. Or there will be a second round effect where the landlord insulates and does the heat pumps and renovates. Then up goes the rent and the incumbent tennant needs to move out.
  
  Then there is the scenario where the landlord simply exits and puts the house on the market as is. It gets snapped up by a first home buyer. Who of course is not required to meet the healthy homes standard.

    The case for insulation can be strongly positive. But it does need occupants to provide heat. If they don’t then the insulation will not be a lot of use. A bit, but not a lot.

    However, you loose less than 10% of total heat through the floor in a normal house. The old silver paper sisalation used to provide 95% of the insulation of either blankets or foam but it’s no longer used because fuckwits keep stapling the paper through underfloor wiring.
    
    Imagine total house heating account being 50% of the power bill which seems to average $200 per month so approx $10 per month lost through the floor or $120 per annum or $1200 for 10 years which is still less than the average cost for retrofitted underfloor insulation.
    
    Therefore…a waste of money in my book and a decent carpet and underlay solves the bulk of the problem anyway.

    Here is a report from an attendee at the criminal bar association conference
    
    Winkelmann presented extensively…
    
    Winkelmann observed in her presentation that criminal appeal success rates had declined markedly (Ive lost the figure but it has gone from something like 43% percent successful or partially successful in 2002 to something like 28% in 2017, which is statistically significant. There wasn’t any real insight as to why (for example, no obvious correlation with legal aid changes), though generally the thrust was that she wanted to see more appeals, particularly as to sentencing.

        She has a fine legal mind, hit law school running flew to the top.
        Still, what is Mark Lundy to make of this? He maintains he is innocent yet the new chief justice says she is sure he is guilty. Her questioning in the appeal court led all to believe she was sure he was innocent, so something happened, something changed. Should we be comfortable about this, or profoundly disturbed.

    It is interesting because a few people including her, have deep inside knowledge of the Lundy case.
    What she signed as an appeal court judge and what she knows is true are irreconcilable.
    
    This is very interesting, and has far reaching ramifications that are on schedule for being confronted.

*BREAKING* – STUFF NZ reports:

‘Environmentalists want to take crayfish off the menu this Christmas, with a three-year ban on catching the delicacy in the Hauraki Gulf. The Government is currently considering whether to slash the daily allowance for recreational fishers from six to three lobsters…..’

I used to catch crays once and sell them to restaurants…….worst job I ever had.

No TV1 coverage at all of the colossal achievement by Rocket Labs on their successful launch of NASA’s 13 cubesats.
At least Prime news gave it a decent covering.

That’s both of the last 2 launches ignored by TV1, rather they put put on inane drivel and crap. Methinks they hate Rocket Lab for some perverted reason?

  “Methinks they hate Rocket Lab for some perverted reason?”, perhaps because they haven’t given the company any money?, you can be assured if Rocket Lab had even a dollar of Govt money the PM would be there for a photo shoot at the latest launch. Labour are only interested in virtue signalling and any company/project they have given money to or intend giving money to.

    NZ has signed its sovereignty away with this US-owned venture.
    
    No other lot in NZ will ever be able to launch rockets/satellites without it having to be approved by the US.
    
    The agreement requires the US to provide a written statement about spacecraft it proposes to launch from New Zealand, but precludes New Zealand from launching any spacecraft that the US deems contrary to its laws or policies.

    If it has any association with the USA then close it down as commented by the Green Party.
    It may be used to launch US Military satellites.
    In fact it is heavily financed from the USA, but I doubt that Rocket Lab has any idea of the satellites it is launching.
    They are a rocket launching company.

    One of the initial investors is a chap by the name of Mark Rocket (yes, Rocket). He made a heap of coin selling his online tourism directory to the Yellow Pages Group – it’s probably worth feck all now. He was also one of the first people to buy a seat on one of Branson’s commercial space flights – not sure that was money well spent.

I see that numbskull Dann is following the “progressive view” of the world economy and predicting a horrendous, that is worse than the GFC, world financial crisis.
But the reality is that the problems really boil down to China that is in economic trouble because many folks have eventually had Trump’s courage and are challenging China on trade and financial matters. Meanwhile the other leg of the chair that has broken and in urgent need of remedial splints is the EU. All their delusional beliefs that they are “bigger and better than the US of A” on finance, trade et al has gone to the bonfires in the shape of Brexit and silly little Macron. What Brussels fails to understand is that the EEC has now morphed into a beast that will be slain by St George …. Sooner or later!
But hang on, Pompeo is waiting with bated breath to get answers to the world’s problems from the ever-pissed double dipper from St Mary’s Bay. Who, you ask? Try the known liar, Peters.

      It’s fucking disgusting Jack5 and the perpetrator should be jailed for a very long time, preferably in a Samoan prison.
      
      I defend the RSE scheme because it is on the whole well run benefiting both the agricultural sector and the participating developing countries. There are checks and balances in place within that scheme.
      
      This incident was not part of RSE. Any orchards who participated in his slavery and human trafficking should be investigated and prosecuted if it is found they acted outside of NZ labour and immigration laws.

  Dann, almost weekly, predicts a collapse of the world economy.
  I suppose, if he lives long enough, he might be right.
  It was said Frank Packer was so worried about the Sydney Harbour Bridge that some junior reporter was asked to watch it ”at all times”.
  His fears about the bridge seem similar to Dann’s about the economy.

So it seems the information on the drug runner case is being released on Friday. What a surprise! Probably 4.30pm so it gets buried as people get ready to go on holiday

Considering that timing we would have to assume it will not be good news for the PM. Of course she will already be on leave & we will see baby photos all over the news

As it stands the Prime Minister isn’t releasing her texts with Mr Hardcore because she’s decided it’s not in the public interest …
“It’s extremely unlikely there’s any great conspiracy here – no Ardern/Hardcore/Sroubek alliance – but this is a perception issue and it looks dodgy” – Tova O’Brien, Newshub

And the Sroubek saga has also re-energised the rumour mill that the Police earlier in the year endeavoured to quash – so a vast irony is: the more that Ardern obfuscates, the more those rumours appear to reflect some reality for those “reading between the lines”, as Ardern invited people to do.

Perhaps the Police could reiterate their statement, explaining this time how they can claim people are not being, or have not been, investigated – without there being any investigation, implicitly, to establish that.

  Ms Ardern said on the wireless this morning she is waiting for advice from the Ombudsman on whether to release ‘the’ text.
  
  Why? I’m guessing she is hoping it will be ruled out as official information, so she will never release it.

      The exact text may give too many details disclosing a former relationship or something else of concern. Ardern has given a statement of the content she wants to reveal in the House but the original is off limits.
      
      If this was a criminal investigation it would be inferred she had something to hide. Ardern has now admitted to knowing Hardcore for some years.

NOW, If Key/Brownlee/English had said the same statement to one of the Labour/Green women front bench do you all really believe it would have been left as it was with Cunliffe’s same remark?…I think we all know the hypocrisy of the left and the question was rhetorical as the answer is known.

  Ms O’Brien concluded her Newshub column about the PM with this gem:
  
  “Ms Ardern promised to lead the most open and transparent Government New Zealand has seen. That doesn’t mean picking and choosing to be open and transparent when it benefits her.”
  
  Given that Tova O’Brien has been the PM’s media cheerleader-in-chief, this is quite an extraordinary turnaround on her part.

A Glaswegian lad takes his girlfriend home for the first time and introduces her to his parents.

‘This is Amanda”

His dad jumps up and says, “It’s a fucking what?”

I missed this a few weeks ago but he has certainly nailed it.

https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/opinion/mike-hosking-we-are-a-country-of-lazy-excuse-making-sloths/

Over many many years I have never seen someone in an “unfortunate” situation income wise without them possessing the “lazy bugger” gene.

One of the consequences of this is the current government we have. Generally, people vote labour because they want something for themselves. They do not seem to give a stuff about their country or others, they just want more for themselves and believe the way to get it is to take it from those of us who do not carry the “lazy bugger” gene.

I have met people who are as thick as a post yet become very comfortable financially through hard work. They are rare and in general we have become very selective about what jobs we will accept.

I am now a well rewarded professional with my own business employing others but throughout my life I have done manual labour, factory work, pub work and in my early years often worked a second part time job.

That has paid off for myself and my family but I really resent being asked to provide for those unrelated to me who are too fucking lazy to get a job.

  Hosking is a hard worker and starts early in the morning 5 days a week, but he also takes time off radio at the slightest hint of a holiday. Our morning shows on radio and TV seem to stop weeks away from Christmas. I can understand Garner’s show closing early because TV3 has financial problems. Oh well, smart TVs fill the gap with internet streaming.

Sydney and Melbourne home prices have tumbled 1.6% in a month | Business Insider

• Sydney and Melbourne home prices have fallen 1.6% in a month.

• That’s significantly faster than what was seen earlier this year, and may reflect vendors are lowering their price expectations in order to secure a sale.

• Prices in Perth and Brisbane have also fallen over the past month, albeit by a smaller amount. Adelaide is the only Australian mainland state capital where prices rose over this period.

• Property listings in Sydney and Melbourne have surged by more than 20% over the past 12 months. Listings have also increased in all other capitals except for Adelaide and Darwin. … read more via hyperlink above …

It is only make believe ,the myth of Climate Change. Yet NZ has been suckered into drip feeding up to “THIRTY BILLION DOLLARS” by 2030. The money will be paid to faceless people in Europe. What a fughing scam.
The SLG and far left Lunatic Green Party are out to save the world. How about NZ and its people. Starting with paying the teachers their dues and entitlements.
Wonder where the Thirty Billion Dollars are coming from . Especially a potential Twenty Three Billion Dollars will be lost after SLG closed down our Oil and GAS Exploration.
Looks like the French have worked it out. They are been levied to pay for the myth of climate change . that really is what the riots are all about. Seems NZs long suffering taxpayers will also be up to pay the earmarked Thirty Billion Dollar levy.
To think that most of angst in NZ at the moment ,on say Climate Change ,or the Islamic Federations ambush with UN Migration Pact. Most of the cause and problem can be laid at the feet of NZ resident Ignoramus a power crazy wee pest called Peters.

      Careful Oldpark, with this Migration Pact soon we’ll have European hate speech laws:
      
      Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff
      “a free speech activist who was charged last year in Austria with “denigration of religious beliefs of a legally recognized religion”.
      
      “Well, during the course of my seminars, I mentioned the choking EU directive “Framework decision on combating racism and xenophobia,” and in order to illustrate my point I told the audience about a conversation I had with my sister and how she believed that one should find a different word for Mohammed’s actions with Aisha. I said, “How does one name what he did if not call it pedophilia?” And this sentence got me convicted, for I am allowed by law to say that Mohammed had sex with a young girl, but I may not qualify this behavior as this is deemed “excessive” and thus denigrating. ”
      
      Interview with ESW on that and her many years in islamic countries here: https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/117135/persecution-elisabeth-sabaditsch-wolff-jamie-glazov
      
      It’s bloody depressing: we have a government about to sign away our border control and freedom of speech, and only a few people in NZ seem at all aware of just how bad things have become in Europe.

The UK is really in the shit over Theresa May’s failed attempts to get out of the EU isn’t it?

The LA Times reports that the main concern for pro-Brexit lawmakers is a contentious insurance policy known as the “backstop,” which would keep the U.K. tied to EU customs rules in order to guarantee the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland remains open after Brexit.

My understanding is that the Brexiteers’ main reason for wanting out in the first place was for the UK to exercise sovereign control of its own borders…. so this proposal must be the worst of all outcomes!

I don’t think May will be able to swing this. Either the (delayed) ratification in parliament after Christmas will fail, or she will lose a no confidence vote in the house and resign, causing a general election.

Watching with interest.

  What failed attempt. The UK will leave the UE in March come what May. She has just run into a whole bunch of her own party who are climbing all over each other backs to stab in her the back to service their own claims for her job. Just Like in the Game of Thrones they are willing to burn down the city to take the throne.

  Everybody seems to have an opinion how this will pan out, but it seems the most likely scenario is what the British, in their love of over simplified catchphrases call a ‘Hard Brexit’.
  It kind of rolls off the tongue, but from what I understand it’s going to cause chaos left, right & centre.
  The alternatives are this plan of what’s her name otherwise known as a Clayton’s Brexit or a new referendum, working on the principle that you keep holding the bloody things until you get the result you want.
  Except a new referendum might not go the way they want.

    Not living in the UK, I don’t really have a firm opinion about whether they should leave or stay in the EU…. but at the time of the vote I thought that something as far-reaching as this should have needed a two-thirds majority. In many cases huge decisions are made on a simple majority vote, but I don’t think 51.9% is exactly an overwhelming groundswell for change, is it?

  Too many cooks in the kitchen. Escaping the EU was never going to be easy. The notion that a referendum decision would magically release the UK form Euro claws belongs in the minds of political aspirants.
  
  Minimum disturbance has to be the requirement: who would tolerate the civil and commercial chaos otherwise? Travel, employment, banking, access to goods and services all immediately disrupted pending re-instatement of future new relations. That doesn’t include matters of external relations like fishing rights or Ireland with a presently borderless UK territory.
  It may take 2o years to regain the independence sought. A continuing state of ongoing hard negotiations on individual aspects is to be expected.

I have noticed a trend in the media recently. They offer up an “edge-case” (where the system seems to have let someone down) and propose that this is indicative of the system’s failure as a whole. They tend to use first names only which avoids any checks on the veracity of their claims.
What I miss is the use of proper, meaningful statistics in reporting. A great one from a few years ago; the number of teenage mothers has halved over the last (5 I think) years. Why can’t we see media reporting trends in identifiable metrics, rather than pushing human interest stories?

As a male lawyer and as someone who employs 22 staff, the insinuations in this article, and in the report, and in the comments from Kathryn Beck make me angry, and almost disgust me.

I refused to adopt the Law Society’s “gender equality” charter in my firm, and will refuse to have more rules and regulations imposed upon my business trying to solve a problem that does not exist in my practice.

Tarring me with the same brush as drunk gropers in large law firms won’t wash with me. I trust the likes of Kathryn Beck take note.

  NK I cannot give you anymore than one up-tick.
  The gender equality rubbish promoted by the NZLS is making me seeth.
  It has managed to lower my already low perception of the the society.
  I am seriously considering whether I want to remain in a profession that I have spent over 30 years being a part of and contributing to in many ways.
  My firm will likewise not adopt the “gender equality” charter. It is a waste of time.
  I used to rate Kathryn Beck, but now I see her as being nothing more than a useful idiot.

  Hence my concern about having a female Gov.General, Chief Justice, Prime Minster, Solicitor General… and the rest including the Cartwright, Shipley, Clark 20.

  Agreed. The rush to embrace the #MeToo hype is a discredit to the NZLS. Regulating the profession is one thing, but to go chasing ghosts at the behest of a millennial or two on anecdotes and a self selecting survey of “feelings”, is a disservice to a profession that has evidence, consideration and judgment as its stock in trade.

Let’s hope the cunt Cullen suggests bringing in a CGT. Judging from a few comments at Stuff, a lot of swing voters would revolt and vote Nat.

Hmm I see Kiwisaver is collapsing faster than the Blackcaps…

I actually don’t have Kiwisaver. The reason is silly, it’s because it was a Labour policy brought in by my pet Cunt Cullen. But I also didn’t like the idea of not being able to get the money out early if needed. One thing I don’t like about Kiwisaver is the lack of warning that you could actually lose on it..

I figured I’d rather put more money into repaying the mortgage than save in kiwisaver, even though I didn’t get the contribution. I don’t know it that is sound economic thinking. Opinions are welcome.

  If you are aged under fifty you might consider avoiding KiwiSaver. If you are aged 50+ you should give Kiwisaver serious consideration. If you are aged 55 to 64 you would be an idiot not to be in KiwiSaver.

      Under age 50 you may have better ways to deploy your capital. Like boosting your personal business or reducing your mortgage.
      At 50 you should be looking to your retirement and that brings Kiwisaver into focus.
      At 55 the $520 top up per year makes Kiwisaver a no brainer.
      The above is for the self employed. As a wage or salary worker you should be in from the start, as the employer subsidy, and the $520 top up, make it very good.

  It’s one of the few Labour policies that actually benefits people with jobs. Salary levels have already priced in the extra cost to employers and the government contribution is just a way to get some of your own money back. So I don’t agree with staying out of it on moral grounds.
  
  Financially, it is obviously worth it to contribute the minimum to get the matching contributions, unless you are starting very young.
  
  Since I got out of property, I buy shares instead of paying back the mortgage. Obviously they could lose a chunk of value at any time but historically shares have done a lot better than what the mortgage rate is now. It also feels good to be funding the productive sector of the economy not the property market.

    Labour are still saying they want Compulsory Kiwisaver.
    They are under strong pressure to make more money for the Managers. Like the Managers persuaded Cullen of the whole thing in the beginning.
    I would not touch it with a bargepole – a similar scheme by a now Australian lead Manager, before Kiwisaver, cost me well over six figures of my personal superannuation in 2001.
    And they still got their fees after every one of my share dropped quarterly.

https://voxday.blogspot.com/2018/12/is-israel-real-enemy-of-america.html?m=1

I’m in a foul mood over the UN compact. Do we really need to be forced to be more diverse? Can’t we do that to ourselves just fine? Why do we have to risk our sovereignty? Has Winston and ‘9.5 out of 10′ Ardern no shame? Madness. Whatever goodwill I have Towsrds the beneficiaries of this bill is gone. I want them all out of my country. I will not be forced.

But this is still not as bad, even still, as what Israel are doing in the United States. School districts adding anti Boycott clauses to US citizens’ contracts destroying their freedom of speech is probably the most self destructive thing I’ve ever seen. Forcing BDS down US citizen’s throats.

“This direct legal assault on the core Constitutional rights of Americans is an absolutely insane overreaction on the part of the Israel First fifth column in the United States to the growing anti-Israel BDS movement.

If I was Benjamin Netanyahu or any other Israeli leader with influence over AIPAC, the various Jewish organizations, or the media neocons, I would tell them to retreat immediately from this ludicrously self-destructive and obviously unconstitutional policy of attempting to ban the anti-BDS movement, or face being entirely disavowed by Israel. This attack on American rights will not only justify anti-semitism more than any quantity of blood libels or historical complaints about usurious money lenders ever have, it will render it almost mandatory for every single genuine American and U.S. citizen who respects the U.S. Constitution.”

Yes absolutely.

Every Israel supporter is going to have to boycott them now on principle.

It is an insane egregiously stupid foot shoot by the Merchants which will only end in them losing all support from absolutely everyone.

And our government needs to die.

    First let Simon Bridges get some power. He is media blocked and Parliament recesses today. The COL however are doing fine spoiling their nest and now the Media are turning. Simon’s turn is coming. March may be quite different.
    
    I may be wrong but I believe from experience that pot lid banging at this time may divert attention from the self destruction of the COL. Watching the COL may have to be done from the shadows then they can be walked over while they are really in the mud. The COL fight dirty and hidden and take no prisoners. Their army is just waiting to hang anything on Simon or any other opposing leader.

  Bridges is quoted here:
  
  National Party leader Simon Bridges said New Zealand should not sign up because we already have “good, if not excellent” immigration policy.
  
  “Why would you mess with that … why should we – in fact we shouldn’t – do anything other than have independent migration and foreign policy and it seems to me that this will get in the way of that,” he said.
  Mr Bridges questioned the point in signing up to the pact if it were truly non-binding.
  
  “It is creating a situation where we know even if it is not binding, over time it will become part of our laws, it will become interpreted by the judiciary. We don’t need to do that.
  What part of our settings is wrong in immigration and why would we cede this?”
  
  This response it too weak in my view. The cornerstone issue here is Ardern ceding New Zealand sovereignty to an unelected global body.
  
  Kiwi’s understand this and it’s that point that should be hammered home, rather than us already having ‘good immigration policy’, and the nuisance of having this pact leech into our judiciary over time … which kiwi’s don’t understand.

In what looks like a desperate attempt to deflect from the Karel Sroubek scandal there are stomach churning rumours of a ‘First Family’ Christmas Message being prepared for all their subjects to be broadcast on Christmas day.
That’s right- Ardern,Gayford and that poor baby are rumoured to invade our homes on Christmas Day in something akin to ‘The Queen’s speech’.
Is Ardern really that deluded? Are Labour really so desperate?
If so- Make mine a double…

So the only person that was ever good enough for the job was PriNZess’ mate!

After 12 months of searching they can’t find a person to fill this (very stupid) role except, out of the tens of people that applied only Handley was selected. What are the odds of that?

Was Handley ever the bloke for the job?

  The purpose of the role was to be wheeled out at events where the govt would give away money to their mates for *insert bullshit justification here*, get Cindy’s pic in the paper without attracting any hard questions, and keep her ego fed. As such any diversity tickboxing and politically compliant monkey would have done. But they fucked up the hiring process with their corrupt shenanigans so completely that it would only have ever bought up the embarrassment again to actually go ahead and hire someone. More proof that the role was bullshit from the beginning. The CoL’s primary focus in government is PR, not running NZ well.

National wins Eminem appeal. Right decision.

A couple of bars of music that sound vaguely similar were not valid grounds for a court case.

  That’s right, let the history books “convienetly” forget that the song was called “Eminem-esque” and was deliberately chosen to invoke the feeling of that particular hit of his. Couple of bars…pffft.

  Always pays to read the source material…So, it was just a reduction in damages based on what National theoretically would be have paid, rather than the nominal base fee that would other wise have been used. Still $200k short of pocket and still guilty of using something without permission. Bit of a stretch to say that’s winning an appeal on a baseless charge.

Another private equity investor failure: an Auckland iron caster in receivership, putting 200 jobs on the line. (Link below).

This should be a warning to investors on the potential fate of Stuff after the merger of its Australian owner, the 177-year-old Fairfax Media, with Nine Entertainment Company.

It seems likely the merged group will look to flog off Stuff.

Not a lot of investors will be interested, but you might see a private equity firm pop up with an offer.

Investors need to be wary if this happens, because sometimes subsequent investors suffer.

You load the target company up with debt, hype it to hell in the media, then float it on the stock exchange, recovering what you paid for the company plus your profit.

You’ve made enough money to not care about the crash of the debt-laden target company, battering the new, listed company’s sharemarket investors.

An Australian private equity firm’s float of Feltex, once a successful carpet maker processing NZ wool, was an example.

Sharemarket investors were burned, and where the factory stood in Christchurch making woollen carpets, many for export, and employing probably hundreds of locals, now stands a supermarket.

The Auckland factory in trouble:

The Minister of Education has made a good decision for once.

He has refused to allow the change of name for Victoria University.

  Holy crap.
  Right call.
  Little Ginga got it right.
  
  The muppets at VUW wrote to me a month ago asking for money.
  I wrote back “No bloody way, Jose” not with the anti democracy drive so common now in University Councils and Local Authority councils.
  I actually got a reply- we’ll take you off the begging list.
  
  These muppets thought they could mess with History.
  A shout out to Prof Geoff McLay (staff) and Gwynn Compton (change.org petition) for his efforts in opposing this.
  
  It would be good if a couple of the arsewipes on Victoria University of Wellington Council stood down forthwith.
  Today is good
  They are so daft that the name ‘Victoria University of Wellington is sooo confusing’ they had to change it.
  How do they know where to turn up for a $$$ meeting then?
  
  The Full council:-
  Mr Neil Paviour-Smith (Chancellor)
  Professor Grant Guilford (Vice-Chancellor)
  Mr John Allen
  Ms Robyn Bargh
  Ms Traci Houpapa
  Associate Professor Kate Hunter
  Dr Carwyn Jones
  Mr Alan Judge
  Ms Isabella Lenihan-Ikin
  Ms Alexandria Mark
  Dr Farib Sos
  Dame Therese Walsh (Pro-Chancellor)
  The vote to change was 9 For change; 2 Against change.
  I have not ascertained who voted For.
  Two of them (women) are simply there for their ‘Maoriness’
  
  Gutless Grant Guildford abstained.
  His name is stained.
  He should take a long unpaid leave of absence. On Campbell island.
  Guildford even admitted ..
  … More than 2000 people submitted, and Mr Guilford said overall 75 percent were against change.
  “Our alumni were very strongly against, about 75 or perhaps 80 percent from memory, our staff were for about 55 percent in favour,” he said.
  “We only got a very small amount of students submit, about 180 students submitted and they were against, as well.”…
  
  Here are the minutes

  Well done Chippie.

I wish National would pull out of the UN as well and all of its evil agencies.
And stop all public funding of any media that is patently biased to the left.
And stop the dpb to all new mums
And ban all muslim immigrants and visitors and mosques.
And make all people on the dole work full time for any job and pay them the minimum wage. (or no dole)
Make minim jail sentences mandatory. And increase each one by one year every year until that particular crime stops.
Ban any immigrant from working for the immigration department and customs

  The maori for Christmas is a bastardisation of English anyway, it’s not real maori. You can’t tell me meri means merry. And, of course, there was no such thing as Christmas in the maori world.

    Yep, the PC mob are pushing harder for a name change.
    
    It’s so odd. We have two official languages (apart from signing). When speaking English, it’s “New Zealand”, when speaking Maori, it’s “Aotearoa”.
    
    But the PC mob want as well to Maorify English as spoken in NZ into a pidgin language, with non-English letters and non-English name versions.
    
    Saving Maori as a spoken everyday tongue, a small language in a remote corner of the world is a nigh-impossible job.
    
    Resources are being thrown at it. New Zealand is hundreds of millions of dollars a year trying to keep the Maori language alive. There’s a State strategy, an unofficial push by the leftist teaching profession to make Maori compulsory in schools, and agencies and programmes devoted to the campaign.
    
    Sadly, at best Maori will ever be only a ceremonial language.

        Itstricky, diacritics have long since been dropped from the words you quote as they morphed into English from related Indo-european languages.
        
        These words have been assimilated into English by usage as needed, or in the case of technical terms like “television” coined into English from English root languages.
        
        “No worries” is Aussie English. There is no such thing as Maori English. “Gumboots” comes from the English-speaking United States. “Television” has been coined in English from Greek and Latin roots, just as many Maori words likely come ultimately from roots in some Taiwan tribe. “Kindergarten” comes from a sister Germanic language of English. “Cartoon” comes into English from similar words in the fellow European languages, French and Italian.
        
        The point is these words were assimilated into the English language to fill gaps, not mandated into it by a PC group with political or pseudo-political goals. Some Maori words have been assimilated into world English, such as “haka” and “tiki” but not a helluva lot.
        
        The Maorification PC mob, on the other hand, want to substitute English words in usage with Maori words. These won’t be adopted into the vast English-language community, and, along with Maori-language diacritical marks, serve only to bastardise the English used in New Zealand.
        
        Are the Maorifiers of English somehow inspired by the academy which tries to govern the French language?
        
        I don’t see your point of highlighting the long-established practice in English (as in ancient Rome) of using initials of a phrase as an abbreviation. Are you suggesting that somehow Maori invented abbreviations? Before they had a written language? ?

        There is no such thing as Maori English
        
        So we can have Australian English, and American English, and you’re happy with whatever colloquialisms come from those, but we can’t have New Zealand English?
        
        The point is these words were assimilated into the English language to fill gaps
        
        Rubbish. Many words have different meanings in, for example UK English, than NZ English. There’s no rational need to have two different words for the same thing. But we do. And most people can deal with that.
        
        not mandated into it by a PC group with political or pseudo-political goals
        
        Promoting a language that doesn’t exist in any other place. Boy, what a bunch of underhand, low life, deceitful, scum bags.
        
        These won’t be adopted into the vast English-language community
        
        99% of the world’s English speakers don’t know bach, crib, jelly, jandals, kia ora, tiki-tour, mate, sparky, cuz, piss up, or waka. But 99% of New Zealanders, including you, do. Nothing to suggest you couldn’t know more. And nothing to suggest that more of such words should not be introduced.
        
        and, along with Maori-language diacritical marks
        
        Oh no, here comes the irrational fear of macrons again…
        
        Are you suggesting that somehow Maori invented abbreviations?
        
        No. Are acronyms in foreign languages OK for you but the thought of Aotearoa makes you sick? Perhaps you should look elsewhere for the cause of your objections.

        You’re linguistically challenged, Itstricky.
        
        We have English language and we have Maori language. What use is there for “Maori English”? There’s nothing wrong with macrons in Maori language. They help make a Maori alphabet. But Maori alphabet characters don’t belong in English.
        
        The words you claim as “New Zealand” were not mandated, they arose. And since when was “mate” a New Zealand creation?
        
        Itstricky, your, “Perhaps you should look elsewhere for the cause of your objections,” is obviously a sly, cowardly way of suggesting those who want separate Maori and English languages, rather than an NZ Pidgin, are racially motivated.
        
        I would say it’s more likely that those promoting Maori language and Maorification of English are racially motivated. ?

  The Greens and Ali Mau will be furious. I mean I assume the people he would send round would be some of his gang associates. If NZ society needs to take collective responsibility for male violence particularly the murderous violence we’ve seen of late then this is a great example to say no – this isn’t ok. Instead our government says welcome to NZ. And in relation to that decision – they say we won’t release the documentation, or the texts or the personal links – we don’t owe nz an explanation. We won’t say if we’re signing the migration compact today. We won’t show you the coalition agreement it’s in a vault. But here have a joint on us in 2020 you’ll need it.

I listened to Simon asking Cindy whether Hardcore was a friend. She dodged it as best she could. I have heard some on KB suggest he was a lover. I wonder if it is true or people repeating rumours.

Does anyone know for sure if they at anytime presented as an item? This is not muckraking but about her honesty. If the were an item for some time but remanded friends her answer would be misleading at best.

There is also the matter of the mobile where Wayne Mapp was trying excuses for her.

There is no way any MP would give the mobile number to casual acquaintances. If they did there number would get around and they would be bombarded with abusive calls and texts.

Well, for what I hear in the media the girl was suffering from depression. Punishing her could put her over the edge.

Now I just had a good look at the PM’s top teeth on Stuff and I’m almost certain they are dentures.

I don’t have a problem with that but WFFS would she get the same pair as Mr. Ed?

thedavincimode, I do not believe I have had one abusive test on KB by one of the few who uses their own name. Just scum like you.

If you were in the same room with Winston I doubt if you would say anything to his face. In the case of Shane Jones I sure you would not.

  Not so sure about that chuckie. I’ve no reason to be in a room with either of them given that I’m not inclined to join their cabal of fawning acolytes as you did.
  
  But I’m pretty sure I know exactly what I’d be saying if if that dodgy little prick or his suck arse blow hard mate ever walked into a room and made the mistake of ever talking to me or interrupting a conversation I was having.

  Most people on this blog will definitely vote National. A minority will vote for another party. There is also a reasonable number who are undecided. People like you are more likely to convince them to not vote National than me.

      Hi Longknives, It is not up to me to explain. I regret voting for Winston as many do.
      
      I also believe in democracy. Personal attacks on people who did not vote for the party you thought they should or lobbied for another party are undemocratic.
      
      When those attacks are anonymously they are much worse.
      
      You choose not to use your name and I respect that. However, when others choose not to use their name and engage in name calling be it to me or MPs I say it is cowardly.
      
      I would like to see one insult Ardern when she was talking to the Minister of Police.
      
      I do not believe that any of those who make derogatory remarks about MPs of Maori ancestry from any party would any to their face.

        Longknives, There are many on KB who refer to Maori as Murri and use other terms. It is sad that many people born in NZ denigrate Maori and worse that many who have immigrated here do so as well.
        
        I know of some who make the mistake of doing so to those of Maori ancestry who do not appear to be Maori. They soon shut up when challenges to the anonymous bloggers here would.

Just checking in from Auckland Hospital’s Coronary Care Unit. Had a bit of a heart attack yesterday arvo and been here since then. Had a stent fitted as soon as I got here and its been a pretty uneventful 24 hours since. Will be here until Thurs or so and then a couple of very quiet weeks parked up at the house. Have received the highest standard of professionalism and care from all the people I’ve seen here.

Best wishes to all on KB.

A Catholic priest has a heart attack & passes out in the ambulance taking him to the local hospital. As they are rushing him to surgery the priest wakes up & asks the nurse, ” Am I in heaven?”.

“No”, says the nurse, “We are just taking a short cut through the children’s ward”.

  Not sure actually, I think Ardern has done a fair job of sticking to her answers. She isn’t giving Much away and Paula struggled to progress the questions.
  
  I think Adern will get away with this now, we know it stinks but can National prove the corruption.

    Whenever the opposition has had a government member on the ropes, it has been by asking questions that they already know the answers to.
    
    This is how Melissa Lee gazumped Cullen. When Bennett and Bridges are asking questions of the PM regarding Shroubek, they are doing so in expectation of an answer. They will, eventually, catch the PM in a lie. They did with Curran, they have done so with Jones. ILG and Ardern are next.
    
    This is a government that can’t even get the truth straight, as evidenced by Twitford and the Kiwibuild on-sell policy on the fly and Winston re-drafting our foreign policy.

      Paula has lined her questions up very well.
      
      If Jacinda had taken action to inform the Cops and Immigration that Mrs Sroubrek needed protection, but neglected to tell Winston, then she should have straightened Winston out as soon as he started blabbing about Mrs Sroubek in Parliament.

        I note also that Bennet indicated the PM has a process (and God! doesn’t SLG love the process) for correcting misstatements made on her behalf by the Deputy Prime Minister.
        Having been ‘invited’ to correct the record, SLG would be foolish not to scan Hansard for any Peters mis-speak and correct it.

For Nasska’s Religion Today file: Parents of baby found dead on beach thought she was ‘the devil’, court documents reveal

The parents of a baby whose body washed up on a Gold Coast beach believed the girl could be “the devil” and was “evil”, according to court documents obtained by the ABC.
…
In one diary entry, the mother allegedly referred to the baby as “the one you call the devil”. “Thout [sic] shall not murder is his command but [the baby’s father] is the law himself, he is the word and son of god. He has the right to sleigh [sic] the wicked one for all nations’ sake,” the diary read, according to the court documents.

The documents also reveal the child’s mother “became withdrawn from her family” in her late teenage years, becoming “heavily influenced by religion and told people that she believed she was Mary, the mother of Jesus“.

Hopefully Scott can join us and explain how someone decides if they’re the son of God or the mother of Jesus. In the meantime, from where I sit, this is a tragic waste of life. The baby never had a chance.

    I can’t speak for Scott, obviously, but I imagine he’ll say that the mother had mental illness. The article doesn’t details about the father, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s clinically insane.
    
    But the problem for Scott is that he would then need to differentiate between someone acting under a religious delusion and someone who is mentally unwell and purporting to act under a religious delusion.

  What needs to be explained is why had the authorities let this obviously nutty family live down on the beach and on local roads. They knew there were 2 kiddies and a violent father.

  Speaking of Jews is it my imagination or are our current and future Chief Justices of that particular ethnic group? Surely we should have appointed an Ayatollah this time? 🙂

Court rules against Gaza father of 3 girls killed by IDF

Palestine Chronicle, 5 December 2018

An Israeli court yesterday ruled against a Palestinian from Gaza whose three daughters were killed by the Israeli army during its 2008 war on the Strip, denying Israel’s responsibility for their deaths.

Izzeldin Abuelaish, a 63-year-old doctor from Jabalia in the north of the Gaza Strip, lost three daughters and a niece during Israel’s 2008-2009 war on the besieged enclave. His story was made famous after he discovered his children had been killed while speaking to an Israeli TV channel, with his suffering broadcast live across the country and later shared widely around the world. [See above video]

Yet Israel’s Beersheba District Court yesterday ruled that Israel bore no responsibility for the deaths of the four girls, instead blaming “terror groups [for] fighting from within a civilian population and storing weapons in the building where they died,” the Times of Israel reported.

Israeli Justice Shlomo Friedlander said in yesterday’s ruling that Israeli shells hit Abuelaish’s home because “figures on the roof were suspected of acting as lookouts for terror groups and directing fire at IDF forces”.

Abuelaish’s lawsuit claimed that there was no fighting in the area at the time of the attack on his home, meaning there was no military rationale for it being targeted. His legal team claimed Israel’s shelling was, therefore, a war crime.

Abuelaish’s daughters – 13-year-old Bessan, 15-year-old Mayar, and 20-year-old Aya – as well as his 14-year-old niece Noor, were among 1,390 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces during Israel’s 22-day war, dubbed “Operation Cast Lead”. Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem estimates that more than half of those killed were civilians.

Hon Simon Bridges: Does she accept that she knows that same Richie Hardcore well?

Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: I’ve acknowledged that in the House; I’ve made no secret of that. I have known Mr Hardcore for a number of years in a number of guises.

    And why did you want to know how I cleaned my dirty underwear?
    
    Would you like to share with us all why you need that information?
    
    And more specifically, what aspect of my dirty underwear are you interested in?

        Stephieboy asked me if I washed or drycleaned my dirty underwear.
        
        Of course I was initially flabbergasted/disgusted/worried…
        for who asks an old lady such things…(especially when previously he had enquired about what size underwear I wear)?
        
        But on reflection, I realise I have over 58 years experience in cleaning underwear… my own, my father’s, my brothers’, my husband’s, my daughters’, my incontinent mother-in-law’s.
        
        However, methods do differ.. depending on whether you are dealing with stained underclothing (sweat, faeces, urine, seminal fluid, vaginal secretions, menstrual discharge, lochia), delicate materials, colours or whites, etc.
        
        So if stephieboy could just furnish more specific details about why he needs to know how I deal with each or any of the above… I might just share all on this public forum.
        
        In fact, if there is enough interest in how I clean my underwear, I might post a reveal all on You-Tube.

        Pervert Masturbates and Ejaculates on Woman at Bookstore in Mont Kiara Mall
        
        We really can’t let our guard down these days. Weirdos are everywhere!
        …
        According to Sinchew, the woman was sitting at the children’s reading corner while waiting for her husband to attend to some matters in the shopping mall. That was when the perverted guy got aroused after seeing the woman and decided to pleasure himself right then and there. Based on the CCTV footage, the fair-skinned guy in the black T-shirt stood behind the woman while she was fully engrossed in her book. Seeing how the victim wasn’t paying attention to her surroundings, the pervert started masturbating while using a book to cover himself from plain view. He then ejaculated on the back of the woman before walking away.
        
        “PERVERTS” is researched and presented by ShoppingMallWatch (a division of Stephieboy Productions).

        I notice that you attack people like Nasska for what he does in his spare time. You never accept responsibility for your own perverted comments.
        
        So let’s test how grown-up you are. Would you be comfortable if someone were to print off a selection of your Kiwiblog comments and ask people at St Albans if you’re a true Christian or a charlatan?
