  Her handlers will. Their income and attention depend on her keeping up the act. She is completely unaware of being so callously used and her mental health will suffer accordingly when she finds out. She’ll end up hating parents when the penny drops – except that anger would at least be justified.

  Look up Severn Suzuki’s 1992 speech to the UN. She was saying the exact same things as Greta but with less scowls. Guess what. Severn is now a middle aged woman with a family. Her ‘stolen’ life didn’t turn out too bad and neither will Greta’s unless her parents and handlers get her depressed enough to kill herself so they can have the martyr they seem to so desperately want.

  She certainly isn’t a happy little girl. And with all that CO2 pouring out of her nostrils it’s a wonder she can see her way to clear obstacles.

    It seems it is not just Greta, she is the conduit for revolt, but the rest are following.
    The signs yesterday say it all.
    “You are burning my future”
    https://www.instagram.com/p/B25z0zYjryQ/
    Not for a moment, would this person actually realise she is burning her own future.
    Do you notice they never mention air travel as a necessary evil.
    If they are half serious, ship cruising ends immediately for the followers, flights and staying in luxury hotels are finished.
    My carbon footprint living 50 kms from nearest shop would be less than most, I choose what I eat, I travel when I want to. I drive a TD5 old but reliable.
    These kids need to get a life, educate themselves in a rewarding career, worry about things you can change, climate certainly isn’t one of them.
    Just a day of pathetic senseless grandstanding.
    Best advice I can give my Grandchildren, never worry about something you cannot change.
    If you make mistakes in life, learn from them.
    Enjoy your work, put this above earning ability.
    Don’t blame others for your stuff ups.
    The education system appears badly broken and beyond repair.

      There is alot to care about, believe me, right or left.
      My guess is the vast majority of Queensland cares.
      Just a few months back, they sent the Australian Labor party packing with their crazy emissions ideas and unbelieveable taxes.
      If you want to find out who cares, take Greta by the hand and go to a place like Clermont, she will be run out of town before she can open her mouth.
      It is not just the right that need to care, if the world follows this socialist agenda, the consequences will be profound, it will be a better outcome for the wealthier from right or left,
      less affected because they have some assets to absorb it, the poor will be on the bones of their arse and no one to give them handouts.
      If you cut mining out of Australia, what standard of living will their be?
      If you destroy the NZ Agricultural economy, the same result, no more money or free handouts.
      Money is created by taxpayers and hard work, governments just spend it with gay abandon.

  What worries me is that young people like her have been indoctrinated by the teachers to believe that the world is going to end unless we end all fossil fuel emissions. Immediately!!
  
  That means that young people can get a sense of hopelessness and fatalism. That sense is out of all proportion to the actual problem. Look outside your window. Is the world ending? Are the plants dying? Has your cat keeled over because of carbon emissions?
  
  Now don’t get me wrong. We do need to look after God’s green earth because we are stewards of creation. So we should do something about pollution and all that horrible plastic that is floating in the oceans. So moving back to paper bags for example is probably a good idea in many situations.
  
  But let’s not burden our young people with false alarmist tales of the world is ending because of greenhouse emissions. It’s just not happening.

    Not all children are bad, in fact some are level headed.
    
    In 2013 Bindi Irwin (Terri and the late Steve Irwin’s daughter) wrote an article to go in Hilary Clinton’s online e-journal. Part of what Bindi wrote was “‘I believe that most problems in the world today, such as climate change, stem from one immense problem which seems to be the ‘elephant in the room’ that no-one wants to talk about.” ‘This problem is our ever expanding human population. We are experiencing Earth’s sixth mass extinction right now.”
    
    Bindi received the final version for publication back, with all references to over population removed. Mrs Irwin, who is American by birth, said Bindi wrote to Hillary Clinton’s organisation later asking ‘What happened to freedom of speech? This is my opinion and I don’t want that edited out.’
    
    Hilary would not change her stance. A spat ensued and Bindi stood her ground refusing the article to be printed.
    
    Bindi Irwin and Greta should change places. Bindi Irwin goes to be climate spokeswomen and Greta goes to the crocodiles.

Whoever heard of a risk register being reviewed only annually? Especially for a high risk programme like Kiwibuild. Is that normal with Ministers?

In the private sector that would be a very fast DCM.

Oral question #4 25 September 2019 (also #5 26 September)

Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: … the risk register has not been reviewed. It is an annual document that is due to be reviewed again by February 2020.

Mind you, that answer was one of the more intelligible for that question and its supplementaries.

  FFS – there is no such thing as ‘an annual document’.
  
  A document that is reviewed annually perhaps?
  
  BTW – a risk management process which reviews a risk register annually is unheard of in my lifetime.
  
  Might as well not bother.

  I have been on Governance groups for a couple of major projects in the state sector. Standard practice was updated risk register monthly. For risky projects it can be fortnightly.

  Should be a “live”document, reviewed at the appropriate frequency quarterly or perhaps monthly. I would have thought that “NGO Actions against private developers, supported by government ambiguity” should have been recently added.

  Risk registers should be formally reviewed and signed off at least quarterly, and managers required to update on a ‘as it happens’ basis – or else !.
  But that is in the real world, not the cloistered world of our inexperienced, unqualified overpaid cabinet ministers.

    Back in the day I designed a report format for the weekly top management meeting (big private sector company). First item always – the three top risks. Because risk management is IMO the number one priority for managers and directors. And Cabinet Ministers.
    
    If it isn’t, they don’t understand their jobs.

  So hold on, they had a massive policy change, completely changed the scope of the programme and what it was doing (building and supply-side to purely rent-to-own) and have kept the same risk assessment framework? Uh….what? I don’t care if it’s just reviewed annually but it’s literally not the same policy it was five months ago.

  Funny artemisia @ 8.09 am but included in all that Wood waffle was another little nugget. A risk review will be carried out when the final details of the “reset” changes are completed. We can also expect the risk register to be increased substantially by many of their “initiatives”. The devil as they say is in the detail.

  Judith Collins questioning had Kris Faafoi doing his best Yes Minister impression, trying to claim the risk register was simultaneously a “living” document and one that was reviewed only once a year. According to Woods there is a difference between an actual risk and a possible risk – it looks like a risk is a possible risk
  if it’s not embarrassing to the Government because they’ve done no work on it. Seeing Faafoi trying to explain his way out of Woods’ idiocy was hilarious.

The ever sensible Dr Bryce Wilkinson writes for the NZ Initiative on Ihumatao, property rights and the Rule of Law. And that other law – the Law of the Jungle.

In short, if all that activists have to do to stop development is to illegally occupy private land, we are on a road to division and ruin, and not just in housing.

      Parliament’s Standing Orders. Not COL law, not Mallard’s law. Changed with consensus of parties. Bridges wanted that rule retained at last review in 2017, while other parties wanted it gone. Stayed because no consensus. Nats did not ask for it to be enforced by speaker while in government.
      
      Now in opposition, Bridges wants to go against that rule, and as Labour has requested that Speaker enforce rule, speaker doesn’t have much option but to enforce.
      
      Stop blaming Mallard for every incompetency of National and Bridges.

  Yes exactly. I heard a debate on the wireless a couple of weeks ago between Gareth Hughes and David Seymour. David was sensible as usual.
  
  Gareth was scary. He essentially said that no settlements are full and final and that the Green Party would always support any efforts by Iwi to seek redress for any perceived wrong doing if they continued to feel aggrieved.

  It does seem like the climate doom-mongers have missed a trick in their cultist propaganda.
  They haven’t promised the young folk Paradise or Nirvana at the end of their climate-change struggle.
  
  If the alarmists succeed in convincing Governments to keep global temp to a 1.5C rise, it’s just business as usual.

Using children to push the anti anything message isn’t a new ploy.
And with the contrivance of fake news and the leftist leaning in schools they fall into line to protest what ever it is their leaders want.
And they want the vote at 16.
Lazy self entitled little dears.
If they want the vote join the military and earn the right

  Im OK with kids voting at 16 provided they like all voters pass an IQ test and a political knowledge test before being handed a ballot paper.
  
  The reason is to ensure the dumb and the ignorant dont get to vote.

  If children could vote at 16, could. they also stand for election to Parliament?
  Envisage the rush to enrol as voters –
  Imagine the situation as thousands of their peers rally any/every day in the grounds of Parliament to insist on their solutions to climate change from a hundred different perspectives (given that they would only be 16 -adjacent after all).
  I can see it working perfectly –

  My father..wise beyond his status, had an answer to me, when I too was a self entitled teenager claiming to have a cure for the worlds ills. (see kids, every generation goes though this PHASE).
  “By all means, change the world, start with YOURSELF!!!”
  Michael Jackson put it in a song (my father never claimed royalties)…”Man in the mirror”
  With that in mind. You could stop telling me what to do and blaming me for this overblown “crisis”.
  and
  Walk to school
  Become vegetarian
  Buy yourself a bike, or a horse (except just like cows…they fart and were replaced by the less polluting CAR.)
  Refuse holidays
  Spend more time at school on subjects that will actually find a solution
  No MacD’s etc
  etc etc
  Remember it was the culmination of past 4 generations that gave you all the toys you now play with and take for granted
  The freedom to not be at work aged 12
  The “right” to vote as an adult of any age.
  It appears that some unscrupulous adults, want to manipulate you for their nefarious reasons (look up any works you don’t understand).
  R E S P O N S I B I L I T Y…seems to be a word not used anymore unless they want to use it to replace the work BLAME when describing their political opponents.
  Summary
  When you have a job and are participating in society…then I will listen to your opinion.

    Additional thought:
    If I was to speak directly to the crowd of children.
    I may remind them, that without fossil fuels
    They would not have
    the paint to write their placards
    The cardboard to write on
    The stick to hold them up
    the nails to put the sign on the stick
    The clothes they are wearing
    The road they just marched on
    The buildings all around them
    In summary
    They would be a naked crowd standing cold and in fewer numbers in a barren field.

  Using children to promote an agenda is the MO of the left.
  Can’t criticise Obama because he is black.
  Can’t criticise Hillary because she is a woman.
  Can’t criticise Greta because she is young and female.
  It’s a pattern and a disgraceful one.
  Argue positions on facts not images.
  The left don’t want to argue on facts, they just want us to shut up and do as we are told, all the while telling us that they are the tolerant ones.

Simple question for today, what makes someone a New Zealander?
I really want to know after 24 down ticks for bad think yesterday.
So it has nothing to do with language, culture or DNA and everything to do with a piece of paper?

  I might beat your tally of 24 downticks with this opinion, but what the heck? There are plenty of immigrants who embrace New Zealand culture and values more enthusiastically than some who were born here. Mindset is really important.
  
  Some immigrants come to NZ setermined to set up an enclave of home, and only mix with other immigrants, most of whom yearn for the “good old days” back home. My years working as an immigration consultant taught me that the ones who immediately integrate into their new community are the ones who do best.

    My parents came to NZ from Post War western Europe, and for choosing this country, I am eternally grateful.
    
    Their community retains it roots and elements of its culture, but they have also embraced the kiwi way of life. I guess that 2nd generation immigrants like me, who look and sound like what some would class as acceptable, probably have an easier time in doing so.

      Possibly because some, like both my parents, were prepared to take low paying jobs at first rather than accept charity. They then gained New Zealand job experience and went on to better paying careers

    No downticks yet, (well, at 9.23am, anyway) Tony.
    
    Let me have a go!
    
    It’s odd, isn’t it, that the ones who do best – and I have a Cambodian pal whose family escaped Pol Pot – embrace the opportunities of a new culture, whilst still being able to celebrate the best parts of their own.
    
    They sure as hell don’t whine endlessly about past wrongs, do little to better themselves, continue to live in economically-deprived homelands (Northland, Gisborne) and go through life with a ‘You owe me’ attitude.

    Back in the seventies a Russian Jewish refugee came to work in our office. He couldn’t speak or write English, which was a pronounced handicap for a draughtsman. However him and his wife knuckled down and learned the language, joined in with office social activities and gradually adjusted. His parents came too. Dad found labouring work and mum stayed home with the kid. She was as lonely as hell, couldn’t cope and killed herself.
    There was no Russian community they could trust to mix with in NZ so as some as they acquired their passports they shifted to Sydney.
    While it’s all very well to intergrate with another culture it’s not everything.

    I met a young man who, while born in NZ, had a foreign accent. Although he went to a local state school, the rest of the time he lived in the Chinese community. Nice chap but less employable than those who were fully integrated into the country.

    Cool story, so what happens when immigrants start to outnumber the local population?
    
    We’ve gone from 95% NZ born to 72% in 2 decades on track to be 50% by 2030.
    
    Judges are already changing laws to accommodate immigrant crime. A Chinese man got let off jail in chch for touching boys penises in a pool changing room as it was a “Cultural mistake”
    
    How many ‘cultural mistakes’ are YOU going to allow foreigners touching YOUR sons penis?
    
    A Somali continues to rape NZ women and continues to be put back on the streets because “culture”, are you fine with him raping your daughter next?
    
    How many NZ women need to be raped for your ‘multicultural utopia’?
    
    In your time as an immigration consultant what exactly have you learned from other cultures that is better than NZ culture? other than being ‘tolerant’ that i can’t learn off the internet?
    
    Tolerance is only ever pain
    
    You don’t ‘tolerate’ being happy
    You don’t ‘tolerate’ love
    You don’t ‘tolerate’ health

  Good question. I personally think some of our immigrants are more kiwi than some of the Neanderthals that are born here.
  
  So what makes a kiwi, someone that embraces our country as their home, someone that treats it with the respect and are respectful of our laws and ways, but also don’t shy away from sharing what they bring to the country.

  I don’t think NZers really know anymore. All this Te Reo, haka, Dave bloody dobbyn, pineapple lumps, progressive think and outdoors image is not a culture. That’s a fake media creation.
  
  NZ was a Xtian country. It had ideals. It wasn’t perfect but it had ideals. Now it just has the tyranny of ME and “my rights”. All of which eventually clashes with someone else’s rights.
  
  And that never ends well. For as the sage opined, age is no guarantee of wisdom, but youth is no guarantee of sense/inspiration either.

  Paginus – I feel your pain. 🙂
  However it is a good question – what makes someone a New Zealander? In other words how do we define ourselves? What are the marks of belonging?
  Are we citizens of a country with ties and loyalty to each other, with shared norms and values? That means that we would exclude some people who don’t share our norms and values. For some on the left that idea is just anathema.
  
  Or are we global citizens of the world secular economy where we take our cues from transnational organisations like the UN? Do we value diversity and multicultural inclusion so presumably everyone will end up looking the same? Coffee coloured people all wearing our Nike hoodies and drinking Starbucks coffee while awaiting our next package from Amazon?
  
  Here’s the thing. Is there a place called home and are we prepared to defend it? Given that almost half of New Zealanders have no religion what can possibly bind us together? Perhaps we need a religious revival? I think we do. 🙂

  I have lived in New Zealand for 25 years. I immigrated from Australia which was uncommon at the time. I acquired citizenship when I was allowed to.
  
  I consider myself very much a New Zealander. I have a daughter born here. I continue to feel connected to the Australian landscape, especially the Australian outback. However my societal and people connections are very much with New Zealanders.
  
  I hope my story is helpful for you.

    Yes that is the law. Citizenship is not about what you feel. That is why I think Australia is totally correct in sending New Zealand ferals back to New Zealand.
    
    However separate from the legal position, a legitimate question is how connected someone feels to the country. If you are a Somali man who only mixes with others from Somalia and you subjugate your wife and daughters, you are not connected to New Zealand society. I don’t believe such people should be granted New Zealand citizenship.

    I think Paginus is not asking about legal requirement. Tony Stuart has good answer.
    
    I like the Swiss concept, which means getting citizenship is not about a piece of paper, but shows integration with local community.
    Lived in Switzerland for 8years
    Pay your taxes
    Be prepared to perform military service. (N/a in NZ)
    Do not break the law.
    Get to know your neighbors.
    Speak French, German, or Italian. (NZ would be English/Maori)
    Maintain a job.
    Show that you have personal and social ties to Switzerland.
    Lived in local canton for minimum period eg 2 years
    Wait 1.5 to 3.5 years after putting in application.
    
    Local community gets a say.

    MW, are you referring to this?
    
    “Dual citizenship”
    
    New Zealand allows dual citizenship or multiple citizenship — but some other countries don’t.
    
    I don’t see a problem with that so long as a passport meets the legislative criteria

  Basically, you’re saying no-one should be able to become a naturalised NZ citizen, as Shazly Rasheed is. That is just nonsense. You should be ashamed of yourself.
  
  In effect, you’re saying, Sukhi Turner should never have been eligible to be mayor of Dunedin, or Celia Wade-Brown mayor of Wellington; John Palino should never have been eligible to run for mayor of Auckland; Julia Gillard should never have been prime minister of Australia; Arnold Schwarzenegger should never have been governor of California; etc. Get the picture?

Wonderful to see the children exercising their democratic rights along Lambton Quay yesterday lunchtime – proudly supported by their middle-aged ‘encouragers’.
A wide variety of brightly-coloured intersectional banners in sight too…
Also saw some children taking the opportunity to engage in a little bit of capitalism in many of the retail outlets along the way.
Just marvellous!

Sadly, the adults behind this scam do not care a damn about the harm they are causing to the young, nits all about their agenda and not about the truth or about the damage they are doing

* Heather du Plessis-Allan: Climate change frenzy is terrifying children

If you’re a parent and you gave permission for your child to go on the climate strike today. I’d like to ask you a question: How scared is your child?

I’m sure not all the kids who went on strike today are scared of climate change. Some would’ve gone along on strike because it was the thing to do today.

But some of the kids who went on strike today are really scared.

I heard a young person on the radio this morning saying billions of people are going to die by 2050*

  * One of the Auckland strike’s organisers, Marcail Parkinson, 17, said at the event on Friday that “climate dread is one of the biggest mental issues affecting youth”.
  
  “When Greta [Thunberg] did her last UN speech, I had to take the day off school, because I was just so upset that I was finding it hard to eat, I didn’t want to move. I was so stressed out about that,” she said.*

Just a comparison. Comparing the massive upsurge for the children joining the Global Warming Myth.
Now said to be a cult . Join in or else say some teachers. Also the cult is said to be funded by the Hungarian Billionaire George Soros on the misinformation and fake news.
The threats to join the cult or else have a somewhat comparison with the Taunts of fellow students and Teachers who used the same type of threats in the days of Hitler and how they went about scaring the life out of fertile young minds to join Hitler Youth. Fear of reprisals overtook logic and common sense.
Are the same tactics being used in NZ? “Surely Not”.Does water run downhill.Go figure.

Stuff are part of the climate catastrophe crusade .

Good example is this bit of rubbish from a cub reporter .

The heading is about Sea walls , the Dunedin bit jumps straight from sea walls inadequacy to a flood in Waitati with specifics about one flooded house. The problem here is the distinct impression is given that this is a sea level rise issue , when it’s anything but , it was a flooding river in an estuary,that is not detailed.

So no outright lie , but outright deception.

So Maggy New Zealanders don’t have a language, culture or values that they must adhere to?
It’s only citizenship that matters, you don’t have to learn anything?

  When in NZ, they must abide by the laws of this country.
  
  If you a child born overseas to a NZ parent and you are registered as a NZ citizen, there is no obligation for you to learn English or Maori to retain your citizenship.
  
  If you are under 14 when you apply for Citizenship, you don’t have to speak English.

I’ve been listening to the Mark Levin show re: Trump, etc, and Mark reckons that Schiff is the likely leaker. This is the Dems big last punt before the election – they’ve tried everything else. Levin, having been a lawyer, reckons the statement of the whistleblower is too much set out like a brief – footnotes, etc – and that he likely had help, perhaps from Senate Democrats.

The whole thing is disgusting, really. The Democrats have spent the whole of their last three years with the one objective of getting Trump. No energy expended on helping the American people by looking at immigration, healthcare, etc, and trying to fix those things.

What a waste of time.

I see Chris Trotsky has joined the climate catastrophe herd with a piece in Bowalley about priveliged shreiking Swede teen sensation .

He’s calling her a seer , prophetess , a Cassandra.

Only problem is his prophetess is no such thing , she’s a tool used by rich elites to smash the west and who has simply like the others also jumped on a band wagon.

Nothing special about that is there ?

Stuff like this annoys the shit out of me.

Where has “personal responsibility” gone. If you choose to be a “consumer” and not a “saver”, why the fuck should I fund your “saving”?

And please don’t tell me that they can’t afford to save. They choose to spend every last cent then look to the tax payer for more.

I have not always been in the upper income zone and my parents definitely weren’t yet, despite an asset stripping divorce my wife and I are now very comfy and will face a comfortable retirement.

There are only the two of us most of the time and we do eat very well but I struggle to drive the grocery bill over $100 per week.

  An example of how people can tun through their savings.
  A friend of mine contracted terminal cancer and died less than a year later at aged 63.
  For a good part of that his wife stopped work to look after him.
  After he died she found it impossible to find similar work due to depression and her age.
  To help out her daughter and family moved into the house.
  Not a great isea, as it turned out.
  They weren’t extravagant people.
  Funeral cost a fortune.
  A death, stroke, heart attack can knock the stuffing out of some people’s plans.

    For the elderly falls are particularly catastrophic. A recent fall was not the first of our family friends who have slipped and broken bones. The surgery has left them unable to be cared for and they have gone straight to a permanent nursing home.

    An extravagant funeral is a giveaway that they weren’t always making great choices however, I have no problem with welfare for genuine cases but I have a real problem with “lifestyle” welfare and we have shitloads of those.
    
    We often get the “Scandinavian” model thrown at us but I suggest those that think it is a fucking great idea should look at the limits applied to welfare and those that seek to “rort” the system.

“Lovely country we live in where people are too scared to be named.”

This is the last line from DPF’s post this morning about Shane Jones.

This is why I post under a pseudonym, as I have a distinctive name. I know that some of the things I believe would activate the activists, and a quick google search would identify my employer.

Isn’t it funny how those on the left have the freedom to do as they see fit, but those who lean to the right have to constantly check themselves?

    Sure, it is annoying, but it is also highly informative.
    
    It says a lot about the character (or lack of c) of the person making the attacks.
    
    Basically they are the types of folk you would choose not to associate with.
    
    At least on a blog, others see them in action and can dismiss their opinions as those of a bully/coward/abuser, etc.

      Pretty much exactly what I said in response to you, at General Debate, on Sunday, 11 August, Maggy.
      
      While I accept that some KBers have good reasons to use a pseudonym, a great many use one, in my opinion, because they want to give free rein to their alter ego – their alternative personality – to say the most disgusting, nasty and reprehensible things, safe in the knowledge that no-one knows who they are, not because they “have a business and public profile” (or whatever). (Quite frankly, it’s puerile and pathetic.)
      
      In other words, such people are just what you say they are: cowards (in particular), bullies, abusers, etc. And yes, having identified what they are, we can dismiss their opinions, accordingly.

Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.
Something for the Trump fans v opposers. I read a timeline last night that purported to be accurate. One of the implications was that Trump himself stopped the military aid payment (2 weeks I think) before the partially released call, 2 days? after which the payment was made. I remember reading around the time of the election tradespeople saying they had done work for Trump but not getting paid, until eventually Trump made them a take or leave it offer.
Other people will know but I do not, though it seems he was/is a very hands on person. So fleshing out the timeline to its projected target – the next election. A hands on guy might see that dealing to Biden could be achieved by blowing up details around the ‘fired prosecutor’ and the aid money could be used as a lever to fix establish that.
I know the transcript is an edited version with its release controlled by the White House I gather, which brings a big question that centres around 1 word perhaps, ‘favour.’
It’s all reading reasonably clear with the opportunity to say ‘favour’ was out of context and that it was included in the release in order to show nothing was being hidden. That’s a bit hard to swallow and both sides will dig in over that.
Then followed something with a hint of desperation about it, we saw a press meeting where both Trump and Zelenskiy were in attendance. Trump asked Zelenskiy if he’d felt pressured during the phone conversation(s.) To no one’s surprise he said no.
In the meantime Giuliani’s role is further examined.

My brother (who was a good few years older than me) was part of a generation which showed a “growing sense of dread” when Dad was compulsorily sent off half way across the world to fight for our freedom in World War 2.
I am not being facetious when I suggest that young people today who are suffering stress and anxiety about the climate maybe should read up about our war veterans and see how they coped with actual life threatening events.

  Good for you, but it doesn’t change the fact that moderation was appallingly slow for a Saturday morning. Seriously, such slackness just pisses everybody off and will ruin the site. If people can’t get a conversation going here because comments take hours to appear, then what’s the point? Perhaps the mods need to work out a bit of a schedule so that things are more evenly covered?

  …..”we’re not always sat at a computer waiting for your comments.”……
  
  Then, why did you volunteer for the job? May I suggest that you apologise to DPF for your part in wrecking his blog, move aside & let someone else who has an interest in free flowing debate to take your position.

Balmy Becroft supports votes for 16-year-olds but thinks 17-year-olds are too immature to face adult courts.

Bob Edlin at Point of Order has a good post on this:

    There could be serious money in this
    Jacinda’s “Miss twenty past 8″look assistant as the mother.
    Jacko as Director and bag man.
    Jacinda could play the face of the demon. She would need a little makeup to play Pazuzu’s face, but wonderful the transformations achieved these days.
    Box office hit to be sure.

Women talking about women versus transgender rights at Massey are ‘akin to breeding hate’ according to some:

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/116144130/banned-from-twitter-but-welcome-at-massey-radical-feminist-group-to-host-event

‘This event is marketed as controversial, and will bring more radical, exclusionary, hateful voices onto our campus who we should not be welcoming. Being complicit in these kinds of conversations is akin to breeding hate towards members of our Massey community who are already marginalised.’

Or in plain speak – ‘We don’t like what they’re saying so they must be silenced!!!!!!!’

what is a NZer ? is he/she one who would take up an offer from the king Of Saudi for an all expenses trip to visit the Hajj whilst the King’s son Prince Bin Salman is directly implicated in the butchering to death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul whilst his fiance waited outside the Saudi embassy? Or would they at least say a little prayer for Jamal as they walk around the Kaaba (the most sacred site in Islam) seven times, in a counterclockwise direction; the first three circuits at a hurried pace on the outer part of the crowd, followed by four times closer to the Kaaba at a leisurely pace. Would they perhaps cast the next stone at the King’s daughter Bint Salman, for having her bodyguard beat up an employee in France and sentenced in absentia? Surely not one of us would accept such a bloodied offer ? Surely Ja-incinderator would talk to the in and out man down at her local Canterbury Crusaders mosque and persuade him that it isn’t a good kiwi look. Too late they have gone already, not a word of condemnation from the MSMs.

According to a newly released BJS (Bureau of Justice Statistics) report, there were 593,598 interracial violent victimizations between blacks and whites last year. Blacks committed 537,204 of those interracial felonies, or 90 percent, and whites committed less than 10 percent.

90%

Wow. That’s alot of black supremacy the medias not talking much about.

  You have noticed, then, that many of these articles are written by self-loathing, impotent middle-class white males.
  
  Pale, stale and proud here. Fuck ’em all.

  “why Mark Longley failed as a parent and let his daughter get murdered by a psychopathic half-breed”
  
  He’s trying to protect Greta because he failed to protect his own daughter.
  
  Failed father syndrome many such cases.

    Oh! The penny just dropped. I hadn’t noticed the tagline. Longley will forever have my enormous sympathy over what he went through, but I cannot excuse that article.

If any further proof were needed that the whole “whistleblower” think is a setup – it now turns out that the intelligence community changed the law around whistleblowers right before this complaint was released against Trump.

BREAKING: Federal records show that the intelligence community secretly revised the formal whistleblower complaint form in August 2019 to eliminate the requirement of direct, first-hand knowledge of wrongdoing.https://t.co/R3BXndeYgc

— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) September 27, 2019

The brand new version of the whistleblower complaint form, which was not made public until after the transcript of Trump’s July 25 phone call with the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and the complaint addressed to Congress were made public, eliminates the first-hand knowledge requirement and allows employees to file whistleblower complaints even if they have zero direct knowledge of underlying evidence and only “heard about [wrongdoing] from others.”

Let’s face it. The whole thing is a hit-job on Trump, from the changing of this law to the highly detailed ‘complaint’

… CHINA … HONG KONG …

There is no shortage of ideas to boost land for affordable homes in Hong Kong. But do Carrie Lam and Beijing have the political will to overhaul the system? … South China Morning Post

• In this third instalment, we look at the high land price system that has contributed to today’s problem of unaffordable housing and the array of solutions available to the government if a complete overhaul is a bridge too far … read more via hyperlink above …
