    One that is rapidly being screwed up bu the immigration of Jaffa’s and all at the behest of other immigrants that never bothered to ask us early immigrants if we wanted more immigrants.
    BOP.
    
    130,000 people in a once idyllic lifestyle place of many fish, great sailing and boating and unclogged roads.
    But then some fool decided we needed to change that and make it like Auckland.

        Start the fund raising for Tauranga’s Starship, ( done thata number of times in the past.),upgrading of the airport to international standards, listened to all that bullshit and watched Airnz dump shit on all who tried. and hand over the capital gain of your property created by the influx of the immigrants (well we were fine without it. Capital gains in property is an illusion that people who have little thinking ability is a profit on something when in fact it is simply staying in the same place in the market. Ask SIR Rich Prick if you need help!
        and get back to me.
        You can take your profit and leave with the rest of them so we can have our idyllic coastal town back again. won’t mind at all so long as you take them with you.
        The current council appear to have adopted a “tear them down” policy about building in the area. They started with their own which was so they could have nice new spaces, went onto the 14 in The Lakes and currently have at least two more houses and the Cayman Apartments that they now have bought and are about to demolish. All the while hiding it all from the ratepayers along with their appalling Transportation Dept who along with the socialists at Epop think the ratepayers are fountains of money.
        
        So no worries with house prices if they keep doing that. Just won’t be able to pay the rates.

Three ladies were on a flight, when suddenly the captain announced, “Please prepare for a crash landing.” The first lady put on all her jewelry. Surprised by this, the other ladies questioned her actions. The first lady replied, “Well, when they come to rescue us they will see that I am rich, and will rescue me first.” The second lady, not wanting to be left behind, began to take off her top and bra. “Why are you doing that?” the other ladies questioned. “Well, when they come to rescue us, they will see my great tits and will take me first.” The third lady who was African, not wanting to be outdone, took off her pants and panties. “Why are you doing that?” the other ladies questioned. “Well, they always search for the black box first.”

    Time to toss out the bogey men of the 21st century and get our lazy shit together so we can all e-vote.
    Another year or so and the postal service will be almost non existent. Who will deliver the voting papers?
    
    Oh that’s right the lefties will import thousands of poor to pay them a pittance doing just that.

      And in importing people with no skills and poor education, our kind government will drive up competition for low wage jobs.
      I wonder how that will turn out?

        The competition will be among the benes / imports/
        low paid for our tax dollars .
        And then the politicians will compete with each other for the largest slice of the electorate for their vote and guess what , the largest block is those who receive tax payer largesse.
        
        Look at how Labour actively turned the middle class into benes .

      You mean online voting just like the last Census. Well that went really well. NOT.
      Too much chance for manipulation. Having been involved in the general elections I know the system isn’t able to be rorted. Too many checks and balances and too many people involved at every stage.
      
      Forget e voting unless you want to see corruption and bribery win the day.

        So the banks do corruption and bribery?
        
        Census is a little different. Many never cared to do that anyway and had others fill in the form on their behalf.
        
        We all have unique DNA. record that and we can identify everyone as we should. There are ways that the current system gets rorted if you have a mind to do so.

  If people live permanently overseas they should not have the right to decide what we, who do live here, have to live with. It is outrageous that they can and do vote green because of some romantic, mythological dream of a country they don’t actually wish to live in.

      And before they vote all citizens should have to pass an IQ test to prove that they have the capacity to vote and a political knowledge test to prove that they have the capability to vote.
      Only the intelligent and informed should have the right to vote.
      
      Will also sort out the COL voters most of whom will fail one or both tests.

      MLB, I lived overseas for 23 years and voted in the 1992 referendum and all elections up until 2011. As a kiwi who was still paying taxes in NZ & resident withholding tax. Just as many of you complain about ratepayers being disenfranchised in local government elections by residential renters.
      
      Remember what the cry of the Yanks were against the British in 1770, ie “no taxation without representation”.
      
      Is it not the same for kiwis abroad, still paying tax and supporting the NZ economy financially?

    Conversely there are many people who do live here, pay taxes, but cannot vote.
    At least people here with permanent resident status can vote. Over in Oz one needs to be a citizen, which means the hoards of ex Kiwis who live there and cannot become Australian eg Russell Crowe, can be ignored by the politicians.

      NZ, by international standards, is already generous allowing non-citizen permanent residents to vote. I’m not unhappy that someone on a temporary work visa can’t vote. Taxes – even tourists pay taxes (GST).

        “Eligibility to enrol to vote in federal elections or referendums is limited to Australian citizens. Permanent residents who were already enrolled (as British subjects) as at 25 January 1984 may continue to be eligible to vote. More information is available at the Australian Electoral Commission.”
        
        My sister fell into this category but she became a citizen years ago.
        
        Left here when she was 17 so it seemed pointless to not become a citizen in her mind.

I read in the New York Times this morning that the Saudis are using child soldiers from Sudan to do the fighting for them on the ground in Yemen. They really do take the cake. No worries at the UN however where they sit on the UN’s main human rights bodies.

Yes Viking 2.
(At the risk of being accused of ‘intermittent trolling’ – Heh I can’t get that laughable assertion out of my head!) here goes:
Winston was aware of the importance of overseas votes, and used it to drag his heels while he ‘decided’ to choose Labour.
In his case, he used it to buy time.

Jacindamania is now largely an overseas phenomenon, and overseas votes will likely go to her, because she has worked assiduously on her overseas profile (more to get that UN job than anything else) and getting overseas votes from people inoculated from the everyday consequences of the ‘Mother of the nation’ will be of major benefit to her, unless an effective opposition puts in some work. IMO.

  What rot.
  
  Unsubstantiated garbage that could be overcome quite easily by making it easier for hard working intelligent Kiwi’s to vote at home in the evening, or any other time when it suits them, rather than some govt. controlled busy body that tells us more more how to manage our lives.
  
  Banking being a good example.
  Unlike you cloth cap socialists that go to work on a bus and come home the same way every day of your lives.

      Sadly Classic Liberal that is the same problem that so many self proclaimed IT experts have yet understand the basic 0-1 fundamentals remain the same. Meanwhile an increasing level of vulnerability seems to be added with so many frequent “upgrades” as well as bug fixes needed to keep it secure.

    Voting should be done in private, in public i.e., a polling booth where it is not possible to know what each individual has voted for. This protects the privacy and integrity of each person’s vote and limits the capacity of each individual to be intimidated, coerced or bribed into voting for a candidate against their will.
    
    We have a lot of third-world foreigners living in New Zealand now. Do you really think that wives and voting age children and vulnerable others will get to vote who they want if voting can be done at home in front of everybody on the computer?

      Well I suspect they will get more chance than they do now. Young people who register will be able to vote via Ipads etc.
      
      There has always been and will always be people who get manipulated. But the odds are even that it goes both ways.
      
      Perhaps you never knew women whose men controlled all the money and everything the woman did.
      That’s one of the reasons Kiwi Ladies had the vote earlier than almost every other lady in the world.

  You are assuming that she will be the Leader of Labour at the next election.
  As her Party % reduces the Unions will review their position.
  Are they getting what they want not what she wants.
  Andy is still the Union’s man and getting more publicity currently.

    At least 25 strikes this year and counting. I’m guessing the unions will be quite satisfied with the current situation unless they get even more greedy than they currently are…

      Surely waikatogirl one as savvy as you will see that the current path to rapid inflation Labour are following is the gift that will keep on giving for the unions. Higher priced domestic as well as imported goods along with more taxes ensure even bigger demands ahead. They are already whinging about such a pitiful net increase from the recent increases.
      While the current low unemployment rate looks good it has reached down to the long term dregs who are getting an even better deal than the majority. The fun will really start as all those school leavers finally decide to find a job after a fun summer. Meanwhile the falling NZ$ will quickly erode any possible gain from tariff reductions as a result of the TPP. Even another gift from the efforts of the previous administration that has kept on giving in opposition. Evidence that good does indeed prevail.

    How many people in unions want this country flooded with ‘legal/illegal/it’s all the same’ migrants under the UN Migration Compact?
    
    How many people in unions have a little bach, want to retire on a lifestyle block, own a little rental and don’t want CGT?
    
    Some of them will be waking up to realise that Socialism Hard doesn’t serve ambitious and skilled working people trying to sensibly plan their retirement.

      I agree CL. If union members blindly voted for their Labour pardy then they brought it on themselves. It is the rest of us who listened to what was promised and voted against Labour/Greens policies who have the right to feel aggrieved. I didn’t include NZF as they promised the reverse of what they are now delivering. They misled many who were foolish to believe anything Winston said.

        At least those who are employed and their jobs are safe will not be too affected by policies if they have reduced their debt as much as possible. It is the small business owners with no control of more and more regulations and costs being imposed on them by this business blase coalition. Grant, their so-called finance minister, has already signalled “business is busy making profits.” We can’t have that now can we! He forgets the more profit business make, the more tax they pay!!

        Perhaps Tall Man but it might amaze you how many wharfies want the best of both worlds as card carrying union members as well as being landlords. Even to the extent of in some cases being a developer themselves while always winning the bragging prize. While many others quietly doing nicely but only talking work at work while following the union line.

I bet those authoritarians that were on KB demanding private drones be banned/restricted, to satisfy their unfulfilled power and control fantasies, are feeling exposed now. This follows an admission that most of the sightings were in fact fake.

  The drone incident was merely a ruse, as a supposed crashed drone has not been photographed and the supposed accused have been released. Try this theory: after the ISIS tourist beheading an aircraft from that area was heading for London with those with evil intent being onboard. No way could air travellers be told the truth, so chaos ensued rather than blind panic. Only the brain dead could believe a drone could cause such a lengthy delay. I feel sorry for the passengers who saw their flights cancelled, but a smart lawyer might sue an airline so the truth may emerge.

    Inandout, I am not sure it was a cover-up or conspiracy. Possibly just anti drone hysteria, which the lefty media have been promoting for some time. Followed by people imagining things as a result. Just as the media generate fake issues, like climate change and various “ism’s” and phobias.

    what you all probably didn’t see was that Gatwick Airport has just been sold to a French Engineering Company that owns a few other airports around the world and lots of other companies.

    Vinci managed 35 airports as of the end of last year, in countries including Japan, Brazil, France and Cambodia. The company also operates toll roads and a construction business. The company’s shares have fallen 17 percent this year, valuing Vinci at 42.1 billion euros ($47.9 billion).

Isn’t it funny how hotel security in Portland, Oregon will evict an African American Guest for talking to his mother on his phone, but Hotel Security in Las Vegas will let a White Guest move a heavy weapons arsenal into his room to open fire on a crowd of concertgoers.

        Dude….
        
        How does your brain work?
        
        For the record, I believe that Black Lives Matter is a misguided movement. I believe that the biggest threat to the life of a young black male in the US is not a cop, but another Young Black Male, and the prevailing anti police attitude among the Urban Black Population is a factor on how bad relationships have become.
        
        But for you to use as an argument about how a man was treated by another man a link to an article from VOX showing that a BLM page was run by an Australian only shows that you have no idea about the subject actually is.
        
        When ordinary actions are being regarded as suspicious, like talking on a phone, and other actions, like an individual Booking a room as an individual, then booking the adjoining room as well, and then over a 6 day period, stockpiling an arsenal of weapons, associated equipment and ammunition that included fourteen AR-15 rifles (all of which were equipped with bump stocks and twelve of which had 100-round magazines), eight AR-10 rifles, a bolt-action rifle, and a revolver, do not seem to raise an eyebrow. We have to question the implementation of security on a wider level. Actions need to mean more than ethnicity, both positively and negatively. This is as anti identity politics as it gets.
        
        If you are going to debate the point I raised, you need a better rebuttle than “There’s a BLW site on Facebook that’s Australian!”

    How do you base this assumption? Even Fox News are reporting this. He was removed from the hotel even after it was established that he was a paying guest. He went to the local Sheraton where he was happily accepted.
    
    The first Hotel did not even refund his charges.

Stuff reports:

When they moved into the political house that was previously inhabited by different leaders, I’ve often wondered if the current Government felt as if they found neglect in every room.

The last National government was one of the worst for the running down and under-resourcing of social services and agencies. Along with all the other National governments, that is!

No matter where the Sixth Labour Government and its coalition partners looked, there were things to fix up. Efforts to rid the halls of power of the stink of neglect permeated their work in the first year of their political residence, bringing more resources, stronger interventions, more oversight, and better support for the defenceless in our society.

“The stink of neglect”. A simple but accurate portrait of what the national Party of New Zealand does. They also stink of corruption and cover-up, racism, intimidation and espionage, as has been dramatically exposed in the last year.

After a few years looking after what Kiwis have collectively built, it will probably be time for the current Government to move out. Hopefully they will leave the public house in a better condition than when they first arrived.

Well said.

  The last National Government gutted the front lines of the public service.
  
  They were very polished at cloaking what they did behind spin and PR bullshit. Money was diverted from helping citizens and put towards over paid spin doctors and corporate psychopaths at national office level.
  
  They went too far and lied about it.

  4 Of course theres no mention of rape culture in National, that being an endemic problem only with labour,
  rampant sexual abuse at youth camps
  The Dover Samuels allegations
  Darren Hughes and the swiss ball
  One former and current mp mocking a sexual assualt victim for being “free and easy”.

    The fact Labour are worse does not make National any better.

      I once challenged Muttonbird on another forum to name three things national did in 9 years in power. The sad little loser is so ideologically possessed he couldn’t do it. He spluttered and dodged the question but was mocked for being such a pathetic individual. in the end they put him out of his misery and banned him for the third time.
      
      From memory I named four things the Clark government did . Only a complete and utter loser is incapable of seeing things from both sides , you know someone like Muttonbird.

      Kevn, towards the end of the year the suppurating incompetence and corruption was coming so thick and fast it was easy to lose track of it so thanks for that.
      
      I wonder if Muttonbird knows what an opinion piece is ? He keeps posting this bullshit like it’s fact. It’s on a par with posting Mike Hoskings columns on the standard and expecting a positive response.

  “I grew up in America and migrated to New Zealand when I was 29 years old. With three kids requiring an unusual amount of healthcare, my US family and I are forever amazed at the public healthcare system that we Kiwis enjoy, everyday, no signing on the dotted line, no questions asked…….All three of my kids – musical, clever, funny, curious as they are—have cost you, the taxpayer literally hundreds of thousands of dollars. Thank you. Without you, they would all be dead. ”

Perhaps then it is time to step back from the chaos and ask what we want. It is in that space that we’ll find simplicity. The simplicity of peace, of prosperity, of fairness. If I could distil it down into one concept that we are pursuing in New Zealand it is simple and it is this. Kindness. – Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern’s statement to the United Nations General Assembly

  I agree with the concept, but coming from Ardern it is empty virtue signalling.
  
  She promotes the politics of division and envy. The very opposite to what she claims. She puts her diseased ideology ahead of outcomes for people -the biggest single problem with the left.
  
  I am a lefty liberal. I give a shit and want a caring society with bunny rabbits and rainbows. The thing is – National and Act are more likely to deliver that based on pragmatic outcomes. At the end of the day only outcomes matter.

Confirmation bias is alive and well it appears Muttonbird.
That will explain all the increase in strikes, the attempts to ‘reform’ schools,the extended waiting times for treatment, and of course, the sudden lack of interest in childhood poverty, suicide rates and of course being able to get a rental. It will also explain the ‘strange death’ of The Green Party, a rise in xenophobic culture in legislation, a souring of our relationship with China, signing u to open migration, adopting Nationals Free trade Accords, and of course, why we have a ‘power behind the throne’ who is splashing out a pork-barrel slush fund like a drunken sailor. Not to mention the undemocratic tendency to announce major policy changes like shit-canning oil and gas exploration, while renege-ing on setting up major conservations areas in the Pacific so that Winstons backers can get their money’s worth, without plebiscite, or consultation and PR-them as ‘Captain’s Calls’.
And that’s before we get to a PM who has weaponised her feminism by exploiting dates/information and transparency by miraculously ‘discovering’ she is pregnant even while she surrendered her party’s core values to Winston Peters for the sake of three years in power.
All because of National.

  The poor loser is ideologically possessed , all national bad all labour good. No nuance , no objectivity just a stream of blinkered posts.
  
  Btw Muttonbird claimed that Ardern won her seat in style. Running unopposed in a safe labour seat is not winning in style especially considering her previous pathetic attempts in other previously safe labour seats. So not exactly a rational honest person.
  The sort of person communist regimes considered a useful idiot.

  Please tell us what has changed Tom
  
  ” When Democrats embraced the ‘Southern Border Fencing Strategy’
  
  In 2006 Congress passed the Secure Fence Act, which mandated the construction of multilayer pedestrian fencing along about 600 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border. It passed with big, bipartisan majorities: 283 votes in the House and 80 in the Senate. Some top Democrats who are still in the Senate today supported the fence: Chuck Schumer, Dianne Feinstein, Ron Wyden, Debbie Stabenow, and Sherrod Brown.
  
  Just the next year, Congress made clear it didn’t really mean what it said. The new law was amended to make fence building optional.
  
  In 2013, Congress got back into the fence game. The Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform bill included something called the “Southern Border Fencing Strategy.” It called for 700 miles of at least single-layer pedestrian fencing along the border. It wasn’t a standalone measure; the fence was to be part of a broader package of border security measures alongside provisions that would create a process by which the nation’s 11 million illegal immigrants would ultimately gain a path to citizenship.”

    Thanks Ross12 we must also wonder if this promise made by Donald Trump would be the best target for the Democrats to make what is now a last stand on? The midterm outcome also consolidated this option as the ultimate resistance they can pose. Ironically the potential savings both Federal and State would soon recover this initial cost which would not be all done overnight. We can well understand why he rejected the UN Migrant Pact to legitimize all migrants as equal. Especially when we understand the laws that deal with the rights of those who do get across the border legally or not having so many unintended consequences.

Stephieboy would be in his element!

A reporter grits his teeth and goes beyond his comfort zone: David Loughrey poses nude – and then speaks to a model and artists.
…
The second half is an hour-long reclining pose in which you are presented on a velvet blanket of sumptuous purple. The artists peer round their easels, take a couple of steps back, rest their chin on their hands to contemplate you, then return to their work, scratching and scraping their lines on paper.

Lots of ~~peering~~ perving round your easel, Stephieboy!

Tutor Madison Kelly said some classes were for beginners, but artists in the class the Otago Daily Times attended were more experienced … Some students needed to work on the measuring and proportions, while others needed an external eye “not actually tied up in the act of drawing”.

You’re an expert on measuring and proportions (“small but ample breasts”), Stephieboy, so I guess you’d fall into the category of “not actually tied up in the act of drawing”? 🙂

  Why on earth would you care what Trump does or doesn’t do?
  
  Haven’t you got anything in your life more important to you than Trump?
  
  Or do you do it because you think it makes you look cool?

Sorry Kokila. Im sure you’re not like this.

https://qz.com/1494111/googles-caste-system-is-bad-for-workers-and-bad-for-google-too/?fbclid=IwAR0fmzxrlqgh9pM5WB619fipu9opi7KuvGwtAjiPwSIM06dMgSP5FvzVwjk

Lol Google gets taken over by a Brahmin and this degenerate autistic pajeet turns Google into an actual caste system. Literally a genuine social caste system.

‘Person of Colour’ was invented so Indians could get gibs on the SJW hierarchy. It’s so craven because at least slavery and a small part of the Holocaust narrative happened. POC is just a parasite term for parasite victimhood.

It won’t be long until the Pajeets who like a swarm of locusts replicate themselves in the skins of American companies make the untouchables wear yellow stars instead of red badges. As theodore beale says, won’t be long until we find Googles human trafficking routes in the hinterland.

H1Bs need to be the first to go back. How hilarious.

    Lol… What?? Who cares?
    
    Sandar Pichai is actually making Jews (and many other nom Brahmins) wear red badges so they can be identified as lower caste then his tech Brahmins. Yellow stars and yellow caps on the way I guess.
    
    I think it’s a salutary lesson and reminder of the old Golem legend of Prague that is created then gets out of control.
    
    Google will eventually fail because Indians can’t code, literally, they can’t and caste systems are garbage. They also recently got caught by wired selling play apps for child porn running Google ads.
    
    Imagine coming to America being given Google on a platter because you’re brown and them imposing your medieval discrimination system on it. He and the rest of the H1Bs need to be deported before more bridges fall down and electricity grids fail from their handiwork.
    
    Unreal.
    
    We truly are in the final stages.

        I don’t care if I’m called racist at this point. My attitudes are based on empirical data. These guys can’t code. Their presence in the United States is due to cultural subversion not just economic convenience. Their presence is everywhere.
        
        Their fake Swahili degrees.
        
        These guys are nepotist racists, and yes, they can’t code – or is the Hindu racist.
        
        A technical class of genuine tribal caste racists voting for socialism and corruption is a very bad thing.
        
        Why do you genuflect to these usurpers? They have to be trained by the skilled people they replace. The entire system H1B system is a rort. We are being infantilised and replaced. In 20 years California as it was will be a distant memory.
        
        Im sick of celebrating the supposed achievements of people who get great pleasure trying to memory whole those of us.
        
        There is a reason Google has become degenerate and SJW since they began the great influx.

Media Rottweiler Gayon Espinor lets loose on our PMs government and understandably comes out ( after an initial very shaky start) fulsome with praise,

Rottweiler Guyon Espiner turns into a cuddly puppy, praises politicians

Guyon Espiner | Guest writer

Analysis

“The RNZ columnist reviews the year, and lays out the challenges for the parties in 2019
This assessment may surprise you coming from someone who spends his professional life criticising and critiquing politicians: Over the past 20 years we have been among the best governed countries in the world.
No, it’s not just the festive glow. Under successive governments in the 21st century New Zealand has ranked near the top of many indices which measure social, economic and environmental status. One, which groups nine ‘pillars of prosperity’, is the Legatum Prosperity Index. New Zealand was second only to Norway for 2018.
So having the spent the year finding weak points to stress-test the politicians on – and, hey that’s my job – in the spirit of Christmas generosity let’s look for the good. We’ll have a couple of flicks along the way – but only a couple. Promise.

Labour wasn’t expecting to govern and early on it didn’t look ready to govern. Ministers were ill-prepared for government or ill-suited to it. Two were sacked. But Labour finishes the year looking more stable and coherent. Ministers Andrew Little, Kris Faafoi and David Parker have performed strongly.
But the core of a government is the bond between finance minister and prime minister. Grant Robertson has done much to shed the albatross always around Labour’s neck: a perception of poor economic management. Unemployment is below 4%, debt is below 20% of GDP and a surplus of more than $7.6 billion is forecast by 2022.

It could be blown off course by international events next year – and yes you can argue he should be spending more – but Robertson is on track to position Labour well for the 2020 election.
Jacinda Ardern is Labour’s greatest asset. Former prime minister Mike Moore said in the 9th Floorseries that leaders are like a canvas that people project their hopes and dreams on. She is that for many people. That’s the public role. But arguably her work behind the scenes is equally important. She has managed a coalition with the Greens and New Zealand First. That’s a simple sentence. Benign even. But that task was considered impossible by many prior to 2018. It hasn’t always been smooth but it could have been a lot worse. That will remain a challenge for 2019….”

  Congrats to Grant.
  
  He is the prime beneficiary of the Bill English economy. Said economy of which would be much superior were he still ay the helm. That’s BEs growth. Not Grants. Also the unemployment numbers are disingenuous because the extra margin is Labour growing government like always. The Labour economy will kick in once we get some Labour policies when the one billion working groups –populated by Labour hacks like Cullen ‘neutrally’ recommend hard left settings.
  
  It’s weird though. The last financial wuarter growth rate was waaaay under 1%, in fact some commentators thought below 0.5%. Why no mention of this? Those are disastrous numbers.
  
  https://www.interest.co.nz/business/97494/economic-growth-slows-more-expected-gdp-growth-falls-03-september-quarter-while
  
  0.3%.
  
  Thats horrific.
  
  That’s the latest figure.
  
  Why no mention from our intrepid unbiased media?
  
  Looks like fattie pink rode Key and English as long as he could and pur braying donkey dilletante PM has outdone even Clark for impaling the Golden Goose on useless care words and facile garblefarb.

      I’m a good civil defence citizen.
      
      0.3% growth. Wow. That’s barely in excess of a recession.
      
      And Im sorry people find minority identity politics so distasteful.
      
      That Brahmin literally ensures only other Brahmins and Indians get senior management and full time employee positions at Google. He makes non Indians wear red badges and then pretends its solely due to legal classifications. He faciliates child porn and pedo networking apps on google play and pays nothing whilst being the biggest SJW piece of crap in America. And i get downticks.
      
      Sorry, these people hate you and despise you and don’t observe or understand universal concepts like ‘ethics’.
      
      And it will end the same way as the partition of India did. Just with a lot more tears. You might not like it. This is reality. H1Bs gotsta go.

        There’s a lot of dyin in a country said Louis l’amour.
        
        But 0.3% growth just from wrecking a few industries and confidence well before any actual policies roll up is quite an achievement.
        
        It took Clark 7 years odd to get close to that.
        
        I wouldn’t want to be Grant right now. Mr ‘it doesn’t count if it ain’t per capita’. He’s barely getting any nominal.

    Thanks Maggy,
    
    I note that the report downplays the scale of the reforms. It says intermediate schools will be scrapped but doesn’t say they will be replaced by 4 year Middle Schools. It is actually the conversion of High Schools into 3 year Senior Colleges that will change the face of education in New Zealand.

  If there had had been a time shift, and little Sikkim had been able to sign the UN migrant compact along with Judas Peters, perhaps India wouldn’t have felt the need to grab this little country. It could have just politely arranged a student-visa population transfer.

        Yawn at all the ‘Nazi’ references.
        
        You lot ever heard of Godwin’s Law?:
        
        Godwin’s law (or Godwin’s rule of Hitler analogies) is an Internet adage asserting that “As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1”; that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Adolf Hitler or his deeds, the point at which effectively the discussion or thread often ends. Promulgated by the American attorney and author Mike Godwin in 1990, Godwin’s law originally referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions. It is now applied to any threaded online discussion, such as Internet forums, chat rooms, and comment threads, as well as to speeches, articles, and other rhetoric where ‘reductio ad Hitlerum’ occurs.
        
        Pray desist, chaps and chapesses! Your opponents’ arguments might annoy you but they definitely ain’t ‘Hitlerseque’!

    From Google:
    
    …television reporter Rod Vaughan, determined to get an answer from Jones about the future of his New Zealand Party, flew by helicopter to Jones’ trout fishing patch at Turangi. Jones moved like lightning out of the undergrowth and punched Vaughan on the nose.
    When fined $1000 in court, Jones asked the judge if he paid $2000, could he please do it again?

The Democrat Party has some serious blood on their hands. Two dead children on the border and an officer killed in Kalifornia as a result of their open border pro illegal alien policies.
Trump is working to secure border security funding, meanwhile Nasty Pelosi is swanning it up at a luxury Hawaiian resort. Liberals are incapable of shame.

        Every other country on the planet enforces its immigration laws with greater severity than the USA. Including Mexico. Yet the USA is the only country decried as racist for doing so. This in spite of them being very accommodating to illegal immigrants.
        
        A wall is a passive non threatening way of limiting the problem. I have no problem with it and see no racist element to the proposal. All countries should be able to pick and choose who they let in and that is entirely their business alone.

    Mexico will pay, if not directly.
    
    A third of Mexicans work in USA – many illegally.
    
    Mexico earns more income from these people sending money back to Mexico than from any other source, including oil. This is money taken out of the US economy and put into the Mexican economy.
    
    Mexicans, and thus Mexico, benefits from all the welfare hand outs in USA.
    
    Tightening up on all these will save the USA billions and cost Mexico billions. That will pay for the wall many times over.

70300 people died of opoid overdoses in the US last year alone.

Fentanyl and carfentanil laced products and even prescription drugs which pour in over the Mexican border, manufactured by the Chinese gettimg revenge for the Sassoon opium war. Of course David and Elias Sassoon were Jewish. I wonder if the Chinese will remember who caused the deaths of millions of their people? Specifically.

The main cohort of victims are males aged 25 – 44.

Basically all categories except heroin.are up 25 – 40% year on year.

Whites are being decimated even if blacks suffer the worst.

The report is careful to downplay that aspect.

Why, if there were a wall, the out pouring of drugs from Mexico would be enormously curtailed.

But no, no no no. Dats rayciss.

71k deaths per year is just an American institution. All the caring carers about guns get so worked up about all the chilluns. Those precious chilluns who get shot at fractions of the rate of deaths of the opoid trade across the border.

It’s almost like not Americans who hate the US, all nationss in it, are deciding the drug and border policies.

But its okay. Because now they’re going to force gibs out of Brazil.

    Ah right. Both anti semitic and even worse! boring says he. Yes sometimes it can be forced. But I don’t force these things. It is what it is.
    
    Cheer up, Spain finds it so ‘not boring’ they’re going to elect a government called VOX that will be really excited about all these boredom inducing subjects. Similarly France. I can’t speak for RealityCzech and EAD who are a bit more singularly fixated perhaps then I am. But not everyone evidently shares your attitude.
    
    I would love to talk about it elsewhere, but if I went to Australia I might get thrown into prison because of the anti speech laws set by the Board of Deputies, or something. Remember that little detail? Gosh, how boring. Best not talk about it.
    
    What a shame, everyone was so bored by all the anti semitic sentiments about free speech ‘existing in Australia’, it got criminalised by ‘nobody at all’, just disembodied law making, and no one even noticed! How wonderful. Thanks Classical Liberals. Free speech is anti semitic.
    
    Just like the opium wars. Funded and fixtured by ‘nobody at all’ – one simply musn’t discuss such things. I don’t think people find me boring. Distasteful and unwelcome, but not boring.
    
    How good it is that Libertarians are oh so irrelevant above all. Just irrelevant. Totally affectless and ineffectual.
    
    That’s exactly what Bill Buckley and Irving Kristol and Wolf Biltzer and the other neo cons said to the Birchers. Oh won’t all you brutish racist uncouth hoi polloi talking about nation states and founding fathers and nationalism and natural law and cultural integrity just go and die somewhere.
    
    And now, here we are and it turns out they were right. Weren’t they. And whether you like it or not their ideas are at the forefront of politics. Because they were right. They weren’t just right about some things. They were right about almost everything, rubbished and disdained and exiled and now vindicated.
    
    They convinced me and I used to be Libertarian until I grew up.
    
    If you want to set a topic, why not do so? It’s not like you have to let RealityCzech or even myself set an agenda?

      In reality I am pretty relaxed about Jews and have got on well with those I have met. In fact they have more in common with my views than the zionist loons on KB.
      
      But what I can’t fucking stand are two faced hypocrites cloaking their racism as defense of Jews.

      We live in NZ which would have to be the least secular country in the world, although there are some dumbass efforts to drive race between us. There are no maori as we are all now mixed blood so who commits the crime, a maori or a 1/8th maori with 7/8ths non maori blood.

Whole countries – New Zealand is one – never get to read or see or hear the truth, hear the other side of the debate, or even know there is a debate. ABC-24 is now more or less a twenty-four hour climate change channel.”

And she has. Christchurch streets once again have been
returned to the mindless little shits that ran rampant under
The reign of Clark.
The National Government showing real fortitude.
Sent the right message to the little shits
And for Nine wonderful years the people of Christchurch. Have enjoyed their city.
Now its catch and release and showing kindness to the little shits. Anarchy is a little closer.

  I see both the newspapr and Cops call these anti social fuckwits “car enthusiasts” , well they’re not , they’re cunts.
  
  Wot Plod needs to do is take plenty of photographic evidence and slowly but surely follow up on each and everyone one of them and subject them to the full majesty of the law.
  
  And any judge who doesn’t support the law abiding community when it comes to sentencing also needs to be ripped a new one.
  
  It’s actually easy , just a matter of police priorities . Instead of dedicating so much time to fucking over the ordinary driver , they need to hammer these cunts.

      We stayed in Mooloolabah many years ago and after the first night I mentioned to the manager the irritation of “car enthusiasts” driving around and around the block all night. She advised me to take action like another regular which was to grab a bag of spuds and throw them off the balcony as they went past aiming for a drop on the windscreen…..

      Ralph Taylor, like Robin Bain – has skeletons in his closet and Taylor now shows the same type of seething anger at being caught out, just like his sick mate that thought it was ‘okay’ for a father to teach a daughter to put her fingers inside herself – remember that person folks – a counterspin administrator. A devo right at the top. These people are sick deviates. Ralph Taylor is losing the plot so much now he seems totally comparable with his idol when he decided to ‘tidy up’ his sick life. Buy the book Taylor, let your pervert mates read it and weep.

        I’d agree that Watson is strange fruit & although, on balance, he probably did murder the couple the case was a textbook example of the way the NZ Police approach investigations. ie. decide who did it & build up evidence based on their assumptions. That is why we have single issue nut jobs convinced that everyone ever convicted of murder is innocent.
        
        But, off topic, Watson must have been a great small boat skipper. He sailed the length of NZ frequently solo with an ease which most of us have in driving the car down to the dairy for a loaf of bread.

It looks like Winston has not made many friends in Stratford with the last race meeting being held over weekend, whilst they excepted the decision of closing down race meeting they are very unhappy that they cannot continue to use the training facility as they raise enough funds to over the costs to be able to make it viable. But Racing NZ want to sell up and move on with Winstons plan. It makes you wonder how much is Winston likely to score out of this as this didn’t work to well for a Auckland bowling club not so long ago.

a double helping of OYYY with a serving of VEYYY today on Kiwiblog.

“Tall Man” at 12.42pm in response to KeaReas post on Jews profiting the Opiod Crisis, complains that that the blog is muh ‘anti-semitic”.

What does that term actually mean when it is telling the truth? Is the Times of Israel “anti-semitic”?

https://www.timesofisrael.com/sackler-family-faces-possible-criminal-charges-for-role-in-opioid-crisis/

Sackler family faces possible criminal charges for role in opioid crisis.

New York’s Suffolk County sues Jewish multi-billionaire owners of Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin; Connecticut and NY consider pressing charges…

Representing Suffolk, attorney Paul Hanley said that the family marketed the drug while knowing it was promoting faulty information about it.

“The Sackler family were instrumental in developing the entire marketing program for OxyContin, which was predicated upon entirely false science … or no science at all … and because among other things, they have profited grandly from sales of OxyContin,”

Just like Globalist Bankers who fund both sides of the war or “Capitalist” Bankers named Schiff & Warburg who fund Communist Revolutions, the Sackler Family have made themselves immensely wealthy off the back of the misery of the Goyim.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/trotskys-day-out-how-a-visit-to-nyc-influenced-the-bolshevik-revolution/

I could be arrested in some countries merely for pointing out the facts even from arguably the most pro-semite news source in the world (Hey – the ADL ain’t news❗) but go ahead, just call me names, silence the truth but it doesn’t mean we’re wrong. Be like Wavey Davey.

Pelosi, who’s expected to be elected House speaker in 2019, said there’s “tremendous pressure” for Democrats to make fighting global warming a central part of their agenda in the new year.

Pelosi made her announcement amid a government shutdown after she flew thousands of miles to a luxurious Hawaiian hotel where she was spotted Thursday, according to reports.

  With Nancy, it is ALWAYS do as I say, never do as I do. She has her heart set on the Speaker’s job, but equally hates the President with a passion. At one time he offered to support her in her quest, but that was before she and Shumer decided to play silly blighters about the wall. As the President never loses a fight, she may find she is now going to loose his support which could make it just a tad awkward as without it she has no chance if getting the numbers she needs to support her application. She may not have given thought to that aspect before she took her current stand. Oh dear, ho
  w sad, never mind…

Some Kiwiblog readers may enjoy reading this article: ‘Titanic of the skies’: The story of London’s ill-fated luxury airship service to Melbourne

History is full of twists of fate that change its course for better or worse. It was one, or perhaps a few, of those twists that meant the first passenger flight between Britain and Australia was by a plane — and not by an airship the size of the MCG, piloted by a pig farmer from Victoria’s Fish Creek.
…
Britain embarked on an ambitious plan in 1924 to build two massive airships capable of traversing the monumental distances between the mother country and her colonies — most importantly Canada, India, South Africa and Australia. It also had to convince the colonies that this was a good idea and, if possible, get them to pay for some of it.

Entrepreneurs and businesses see benefits of working on the (South Island)West Coast | Stuff.co.nz

https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/109510478/entrepreneurs-and-businesses-see-benefits-of-working-on-the-west-coast

High internet speeds and a lack of traffic are encouraging a raft of new and diverse businesses to the South Island’s West Coast.

The sparsely-populated region, home to just over 32,000 people, is becoming an increasingly popular base for businesses.

Development West Coast chief executive Chris Mackenzie said the region was attracting new entrepreneurs in thriving industries such as IT, tourism, manufacturing and agribusiness.

Business people moving to the West Coast were attracted by its high-speed internet, low housing cost, and quiet roads. …

… “Home ownership is now achievable for all of our staff, as well as access to surfing and mountain biking within 15 [minutes] of the office.” …

… concluding …

… With New Zealand median house prices reaching about $575,000, the dream of getting on to the property ladder is out of reach for many people, but the average price on the West Coast is below $200,000 and the quarter-acre section is more often than not the reality.

Harcourts West Coast owner Kevin O’Donnell said he was getting significant interest from people in Auckland to move to the West Coast.

“You can sell a house worth millions in Auckland, and buy a better quality home here for a fraction of that price, all with the added bonus of being able to enjoy the superior quality lifestyle the Coast offers. It must be pretty tempting,” he said.

    Could Australia be on the brink of a building quality crisis that causes a meltdown in apartment prices and harms the very fabric of Australian cities?
    
    Cracking in Sydney’s four-month old Opal Tower caused the building to be evacuated and left 51 units unsafe to occupy. The specific reasons for cracking in this case are still being investigated. But, experts say, the conditions that permitted the problem apply across large parts of the industry. … read more via hyperlink above …

While we’re fretting about boy racers …

Guns aren’t the big problem for Swedish police – it’s hand grenades they’re worried about:

    Go to YouTube and look up “Barbara Lerner Spectre”. Go research the Bonnier Family who control over 3/4s of the Swedish MSM and pump poison into Swedish minds 24/7.
    
    Heck, just go read this article over on Red Ice on how and why Sweden became multicultural:

Why do UK Customs spend hours ‘interviewing’ illegal immigrant workers (in this instance) on a chicken farm. The Arab ones say they are from Albania, but surely one pork chop dangled in front of them would sort the men from the Muslims. Apparently the Islamists go ape when they touch pork.

        The embargo on pork wasn’t totally based on fairy tales. Swine in the Middle East Circa Zero AD were a Petri dish of every bug & disease known to mankind. Banning pork as food was a reasonable move for leaders who wanted to hold or increase the populations who sustained them.
        
        Yet, like in all things the norms of the day get swallowed up by the religious superstitions of the time. Then it’s an act of faith for the Godaddled to ignore sense in favour of doctrine.

        Yes, in fact many religious beliefs have their genesis in the circumstances of the time. Now days we assume it is the religion that determined the belief, but very often it is the other way around.

        There is one constant RC. Those who created the various religions realised that they were onto the greatest racket they could ever experience in their miserable lives. By inserting themselves between the rulers & the ruled they could enjoy the patronage of the elite whilst protected by the peasantry they duped.

The PC do-gooders are at it again: Kerry O’Keeffe ‘devastated’ by Indian reaction to on-air comments

On day one of the Test, O’Keeffe had run down debutant Mayank Agarwal’s Ranji Trophy triple-century, saying it must have come against the “‘Jalandhar Railways Canteen Staff”.

That’s not a racist joke (and O’Keeffe has confirmed that it wasn’t intended to be one). He said that Agarwal’s first-class score (304*) probably came from a match against a non-competitive team. But the do-gooders came out in force to express their outrage.

This is the correct response:

India head coach Ravi Shastri had delivered his riposte to O’Keeffe on day two, after Agarwal had scored a half-century. “Mayank’s got a message for Kerry,” Shastri said. “When you do open your canteen, he wants to come and smell the coffee. And he wants to compare it to the ones back home in India. Is the coffee better here in your canteen, or the one back home?”

      Why not? Their output on a per capita base wouldn’t be great but my guess is that they would feed themselves & by selling the surplus they would enable some one else to eat while building houses or providing medical care.
      
      NZ farmers are much the same but we have become far more efficient users of land & labour.

        I agree Maggy. Since when did the left look down its nose at the humble farmer and peasant? What a messed up society we have created. We have a left that treats blue collar workers with contempt and disdain.

        The left have always looked down on farmers, croppers and orchard growers in NZ.
        
        But they became disconnected with ordinary working folk sometime around the 1960s-70s, when highly educated (but functionally unqualified) children of the middle-class formed Labour’s hierarchy.

        MW, not at all. A great many farmers in places like those mentioned eke out a meagre and often subsistence existence.
        
        We tend to over romanticise rural and farming life and work. Famers are not the only ones who contribute to our prosperity. The high suicide rate among them suggests it can be very stressful with many taking on a high burden of debt, highly unpredictable extreme weather events and so on,

  100% correct. Something the wankers in the big cities might want to ponder. They might also consider that primary industry pays NZ’s bills and keeps the power on. The modern trend of villanising farmers is ignorant and appalling.

    “The wankers in the big city” often ponder about Farmers.
    Every time the “wankers in the big city” have to dip into their pockets for Farmers because it rains a bit much they ponder.
    Every time the “wankers in the big city” have to dip into their pockets for Farmers because it does not rain enough they ponder.
    Every time the “wankers in the big city” cannot swim in a river because Farmers have polluted the river they ponder.
    Every time the “wankers in the big city” cannot swim in a lake because Farmers have polluted the lake they ponder.
    But most of all, they ponder just as to why so many of the rural sector are pig ignorant and have a sense of entitlement that almost surpasses horse face.
