Not the 1pm Update: No.3
Item 1: More international acclaim for our Prime Minister.
This time from the most popular pod-caster on the planet – Joe Rogan.
Item 2: Issues with Education turn a governor election in Virginia.
Sleepy Joe got a 10% win in Virginia in the presidential election. A year later it has been turned around and Virginia now has a Republican Governor, Deputy Governor and Attorney General.

Item 3: For the record – I sent this to Auckland Principals last week.
“I read about the 1st XV decision re vaccines today.
It may turn out to be a VERY poor decision.
The unvaxxed death rates in Britain (for September)
U20 is zero – why would we consider vaxxing kids/teenagers?
20-30 less than 1/100,000
30-40 still less that 1/100,000
40-49 3.5 per 100,000
ps – the rates of people getting covid is much higher for the double vaxxed for most age groups.
The Principals are interfering in an invasive medical decision for young people. How much responsibility will they take when someone has a significant issue? Or dies?
A very close contact in Auckland spent the best part of the two days following her first jab in hospital with blood clots.
Heart issues are occurring in young men: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/cdc-heart-inflammation-cases-ages-16-24-higher-than-expected-after-mrna-covid-19-2021-06-10/“
Item 4: The lost of teachers, teacher aides and administrators.
November 15 in New Zealand will be interesting for education and those on the front-line respond to the Pfizer vaccine being “mandated”. Brilliant speech from the EU on that here:
I contacted the NZEI and PPTA about how they are standing for the 20% (their stats) of their members who are against the mandate and whether they would take the same compliant stand if Key/Parata had implemented the mandate. No response of course.
The next highly divisive moment will be when the child vaccine comes to NZ. Some parents will refuse to allow their children in the same classroom with the unvaccinated and may parents choose to avoid and vaccine which they will consider to be entirely unnecessary for their children.
Mt Hobson Academy – will be launching a nationwide online school from Years 1 – 13 on the 14th of November
Item 5: The fishing in Russell has been incredible recently. Just the last two nights I brought these home from the wharf.

Item 6: Two nations conquered by Brigadier General Kane Williamson
Afghanistan defeated! England defeated.
We should not under-estimate the defeat of England. In 1940 Germany attempted to defeat England. They have not played a cricket world championship since. They main problem was the quality of their attack. They really only had four bowlers and history shows that they were clearly limited. Apparently Hitler had only got one ball, Göring had two but very small, Himmler was similar and their spinner, Goebbels, had no balls at all. This was documented by historians Armstrong and Miller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1DWJQkOJew&ab_channel=HatTrick
