NeverMindTheBollocks

Radio NZ guilty of disinformation.

On Morning Report this am, its reporter referred to bussy as a term for a male anus.

Of course, that would be mussy.

MR is deliberately downplaying the seriousness of Doyle’s post.

I never thought I’d be saying this, but bring back one of the lying thieves who previously represented the Greens. At least they are not (description omitted in the interest of decency).

  Hosking this morning had Peters on. They talked about the ferry then switched to the Benjamin Doyle situation.
  
  Hosking berated Peters for showing interest in the issue “when we have so many other problems”. Hosking cares little for any issue that does not make GDP line go up.
  
  Hosking also said we know what the Greens are, but wrote them off as simply being weird. He thinks Doyle’s behaviour is apparently typical of Greens, but not worthy of correcting.
  
  He did not seem to appreciate that Doyle’s boss Swarbrick is essentially defending Doyle and attacking the complaint not the cause of the issue.

    The media’s main focus appears to be that Doyle is the victim of homophobia. What next arrest people for complaining about his social media posts.

      The MSM have disabled comments on every Doyle article to prevent people calling out the sicko.
      
      Best solution – start commenting about Doyle on every other MSM article no matter the context. Ultimately, the MSM will either need to allow the debate to happen or disable commenting on every article.

      You don’t have to have a phobia about anything to object or not condone someone’s behaviour.
      
      Projection is one of the narcissistic tools of oppression: If someone objects to, or calls out sick or unacceptable behaviour by someone that clearly has mental issues, “go on the offensive and accuse that person of having mental issues.”

  I hope I am not out of order for raising it, but I wonder what is the actual situation with the alleged ‘death threats’. One would think from media reports that a torrent of death threats was received causing the MP in question to stay home this week and the Greens asking Parliamentary Services to boost security. This caused me to imagine police officers with Bushmasters surrounding Parliament, something which would upset Tamatha Paul. No doubt the Police would try and identify the source of any real threats and lay charges under the Crimes Act (threatening to kill). Perhaps one or two were received, not a torrent. But it did seem to be a gift from heaven (or hell?) for Ben, Chloé and the Greens.
  So allegedly receiving death threats (even one or two) opens up PR opportunities to deal with an otherwise awkward situation.
  My take is while Winston was a bit short on hard facts he saw an opportunity to make some mischief and sure did.
  No Parliamentary questions on this today, but there are several ‘open’ questions where this matter could be raised as a supplementary.

    These alleged death threats do seem a little bit convenient. To my mind, there are only two explanations for Doyle’s social media posts.
    1. In part of the rainbow community it is just risqué humor to post photos of your kids tagged with “bussy” “eggplant (erect penis) emoji” and the blue swirl associated with pedophiles.
    2. In all likelihood there is serious child abuse going on. I find this explanation more probable.
    Now the MSM have tried to shut down this story and make it about Winston, death threats and homophobia. My guess is that Doyle will resign this week due to the alleged threats. And maybe in a year or so an abuse case will make it through the courts with all details suppressed in order to protect the abused child.
    Just speculation of course.

      ….alleged death threats…
      
      Gaslighting…
      
      [1] Making it look like the person who reports the ‘crime’, is the perpetrator/bully, while the ‘criminal’ is the victim.
      
      [2] Claiming ‘fake’ death threats to make it look like the ‘criminal’ is the victim.
      
      [3] “Real” threats, but taken out of context, that are to be expected in response to real damage done. e.g. A young girl of 13 is raped repeatedly by a rapist. The mother, very upset and outraged the rapist escapes a jail sentence, and says to friends in a pub out of exasperation, “I’d love to chop his dick off”. Incident is recorded and reported out of context as a “death threat with mutilation.”

    Actually, the police should ignore the pleas for extra security because the Greens want to get rid of the police.
    A great example of how idiotically insane they are – deny extra security & tell them why.

  ‘By now I think most of us have come across the term bussy (boy pussy) and have formed an opinion on whether it’s sexy or a word you wish I didn’t have the audacity to put into this article. It was also the American Dialect Society 2022 word of the year?? ‘

A Taumarunui Maori tribe has received an apology from the Government for bringing “discord, death and division” to its people.
Ngāti Hāua signed a deed of settlement on Saturday after years of negotiations over redress for historical breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi.

Treaty Negotiations Minister Paul Goldsmith delivered an apology to some 400 people at the marae for Crown actions he said had caused harm and prejudiced Ngāti Hāua for over a century.

“The Crown is greatly sorry that it did not live up to the promise of teTiriti/the Treaty, and instead brought discord, death and division to your iwi,” Goldsmith said. “The Crown is deeply ashamed of and sorry for the horrific and reprehensible execution of your tūpuna in 1846, and profoundly regrets that its behaviour toward Ngāti Hāua in the 1840s sowed deep and well-deserved mistrust of the Crown.”

No doubt this tribe was badly treated. Over the years kings, government, lords and chiefs have behaved abominably. My own family was treated very poorly. The Highland Clearances forced my family off its land and eventually my great grandfather immigrated to NZ in 1872. His son died in 1918 of influenza, brought to NZ by a government party’s travel, so our Mangere farm was lost. My grandmother raised four children by herself. She probably felt some resentment but I don’t – it was 107 years ago.

My father and his three brothers just knuckled down and got on with it. They had no land, just the determination to get jobs, raise their families as best they could and contribute to society where they could. One died promptly from cancer, another opened a shoe shop, the bookmaker below became a freezing worker and eventually a Vesteys manager and one worked for the Auckland Harbour Board. They were active in the Labour Party, the theatre and sports administration – a typical Otahuhu family of the day. The 30 or so grandchildren include teachers, doctors, engineers, nurses, business owners, IT specialists, a Dame, a radio sports broadcaster and members of the armed forces. Not one is unemployed. None. The only benefits they get are the OAP. None have been in prison, although one of the brothers was fined a fiver for bookmaking in 1938.

One of the reasons my family feels no resentment is that there’s no incentive. Moaning about the clearances or the flu would get nobody anywhere. Moaning about the ToW is worth a poultice.

Which is not to downplay the shoddy treatment Maoris got in the 1860s and 70s but it was a long time ago. Opportunity has now knocked. Let’s get over it. Pay the compo, recognise the hurt and then close down the Tribunal and put the grievances where they belong, in history. A new dawn.

  Cass: Well, yes and no. Frankly i find these “apologies” on behalf of the government absurd. How logically can a 2025 government apologise for something done more than 100 years ago?
  
  And “greatly sorry’? God, I hope some 22 year old wrote Goldsmith’s speech and they weren’t his words.

    They happen, David, no point in trying to change them. They make me cringe but I’ll get over it. My big message is “full and final” fully and finally. That’s the issue! And that means no more Tribunal and no more special positions – anywhere – based on race. No Maori wards or deputy Vice Chancellors or iwi appointments to Council committees and so on.

      There were apologies made and full and final settlements for these wrongs in the early 20th century. Some of these tribes are on their 4th or 5th full and final settlement for the same events. You can’t blame them though, if every time you extended your hand it was stuffed with cash, why on earth would you stop?

      Yeah well, some of my forebears left the Scottish highlands because the rich toffs threw them off their crofts during the “clearances”.
      They left with nothing except a scratched up amount of money to get them on a sailing ship to here.
      Now we are facing almost the same situation.

    David, you’ll be pleased to see the treatment of Brendan Doyle, for actions he did while on the Green Party list, and just prior to an election, is receiving the same scrutiny as yours that occurred 31 years prior to you even knowing politics existed!!

    Doyle is receiving the pity card and it’s up to Winston Peters to demand from the media they do their job.

      Is he really receiving the same scrutiny? Barely any articles that are not sympathetic or trying to minimise the sicko’s posts. If Doyle was in the National, ACT or NZ First parties journalists would be parked out front of his house and hounding him.
      
      The MSM is supportive of Doyle’s posts. Hell, at the end of Luxon’s press conference some of the journalists sounded more concerned that Doyle had been mis-gendered instead of what looked like grooming posts.

    Perhaps someone thought that ‘very sorry’ was no longer strong enough and that ‘incredibly sorry’ was likewise impaired by overuse, as well as too suggestive of its literal meaning.
    
    So, in a constructive spirit and in accordance with our times, I suggest alternating between ‘bigly sorry’ and ‘double-plus unhappy’.

  mrspdm’s family were victims of Clearances in the Tongue/Melness/Talmine area of Northern Scotland in the 1870’s/1880’s. They lost a slate making business among other business interests during that time.

    Over the past decade the Greens have had more scandals and cases of bad behaviour than any other Party. And its even worse considering their number of MPs compared to the Nats and Labour. Yet still they get 10% support.
    Those that support them either agree with their behaviour or dont care. Either way they are as bad as the Party MPs and its members.
    I hope the scandals and bad behaviour continues. If Labour dont rule out a Coalition with the Greens hopefully some fringe Labour supporters will defect to the Nats or abstain.

      Hosking hit the nail on the head this morning when he described Green MPs as incredibly strange.

        My guess is that its the 18 y/o vote. Young people think its cool to be Green. One of my grand-daughters who lived in Wokington voted Green when she was 18. The following election, realised how stupid she was previously, & voted National. (a bit better ).

      On the matter of Coalitions IMHO if a Party rules out going into Coalition with another Party and subsequently does so then that Party should suffer a financial penalty for misleading voters.
      Its time we put an end to the fast and loose Parties play with voters. If they know their Party funds will be severly depleted it may stop them lying to voters.

        All parties should have to pick a side before the voting period begins. The side that gets more than half the MPs then automatically forms a government.
        
        That would completely eliminate the use of the ‘coalition agreement’ as a way to back out of promises made during the election campaign.

      It will be more than a fringe of the old timers. Unfortunately the young have been indoctrinated by the education system and the media. Woke is everywhere they are just waiting for the old timers to die off. That’s the harsh reality and sadly it can’t be stopped. Other than old Winnie whose fighting the good fight, not Luxon and certainly not Hipkins.

  A Maori child’s mind, like any other child is a clear slate until it is written on, and then many are colonised a second time, mentally, by their own people. So much for “Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua” – “I walk backwards into the future with my eyes fixed on the past”

  Present day Maori are breaching the terms of the treaty by engaging in domestic terrorism of the general population.
  Maybe its time for us to file some claims with the Waitangi Tribunal for compensation for the damage done to us.

      […]. Article 3 of the ToW said they have the same rights AND duties. […].
      
      That is not correct. It refers to “rights and privileges”, not duties.
      
      Article Three states: “In consideration thereof Her Majesty the Queen of England [sic] extends to the Natives of New Zealand Her royal protection and imparts to them all the Rights and Privileges of British Subjects.”
      
      See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Waitangi and, for good measure, https://www.nzcpr.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/TreatyOfWaitangiBySirApiranaNgata.pdf, page 27.

        That depends on which version you read. The translation of the Maori version by Sir Hugh Kawharu uses the term “duties”. In any event, the rights and privileges of British subjects in 1842 were predicated on an acceptance of the sovereignty of the Crown and implicit in that is an acceptance of the obligations of a British subject to, for example, obey the law, which was always promulgated under the authority of the reigning sovereign.

  I agree. Who do my Viking ancestors seek redress from over some of them being killed when they were defeated by King Alfred? What about all the Danegeld payments that were discontinued? Its time to scrap the racist gravy train.

  Now that you mention it, I also have some issues.
  Two great uncles were sent to Gallipoli by the Govt and never returned. Another uncle was sent to England in 1938 to fly for the RAF, and never returned. My great grandmother died when my father was 3, from the Spanish fever, imported to NZ by servicemen in 2018 returning from Govt business overseas. This wrought havoc on my family, children shunted off to aunts, boarding schools with all their horrors, resulting in untold psychological traumas that I and my family must still suffer today.
  There are, no doubt, various other Govt-induced deprivations I and my whanau have suffered, eg Corporal punishment.
  The more I think of it, the worse my suffering appears.
  
  So where is my apology and reparation ?

  What confuses me is that the Ngati Haua apology was made at Taumarunui. I understood that the five Ngati Haua marae were at Raungaiti (near Waharoa), Tauwhare, Waimakariri (near Tauwhare), and Rukumoana and Kai-A-Te-Mata both of which are near Morrinsville.
  I understood that Taumarunui was in the Maniapoto area. Indeed, the Maori Land Court in Hamilton is referred to as the Waikato-Maniapoto Maori Land Court.
  Hopefully somebody more knowledgeable than me will correct me.

the case for arming europe
outside the catbox: a thought experiment

Enlightening videos. Whole post disturbing.

“non-crime hate speech arrests are a chilling form of societal suppression that seems to be spreading to country after country.
german rapists go free and people who complain about it go to jail. UK parents are frogmarched for criticizing [sic]schools on whatsapp.”
“this new “pay to import shiftless immigrants who despise your culture” plan cannot work. whereas once immigration was an engine of growth, this new toxic form is a sinkhole of losses.”

Obviously nothing to see here re Doyle. Herald has dropped the story altogether and Stuff is deflecting by having a gushing puff piece about Jacinda

Putting aside the content of Doyle’s instagram feed.

Did anyone notice how feral Chloe is becoming. Just look at her body language and her eyes, there is seriously something disturbing and dangerous going on in that head.

Even Marama seemed to be trying to get out of the press conference as soon as she could.

Paris court strips Marine Le Pen of the right to run for public office – at one stroke disqualifying the highest-polling candidate from the 2027 French presidential elections
Romania, Germany, and now France – the eagerness to disqualify opposition candidates is gaining ground, and it betokens nothing good

“She did not personally embezzle funds or enrich herself from EU coffers. Rather, prosecutors accuse her of directing aides to undertake work for her party while they were receiving salaries from the European Parliament”

  The crime, as you describe, is something that happens all the time, in all parties and all countries. NZ Labour / National for example regularly us govt resources for party use. All those ‘information mail outs’ informing us of what the government has done for us.
  
  Clearly the have found a convenient ‘crime’ and are using it to block an opponent. Remember that states in the US also wanted to remove Trump from the ballot. This is a scary move by the left who claim to be ‘defending democracy’.

When you see people in NZ protesting on behalf of Gaza and quite frankly Hamas, it can be instructive to remind ourselves who Hamas really are. And we don’t need to cast our minds back to the horrific attack on Oct 7th. We can just look at how they treat their own people now. This is who Hamas are, how they treat their own citizens:

“Hamas has begun cracking down on Gazans who participated in recent protests against the group’s rule, executing six people and publicly beating others, according to Palestinian activists and residents.
Among those killed was Odai al-Rubai, 22, a resident of Gaza City’s Tel al-Hawa neighborhood. Al-Rubai had called for public demonstrations and spoken out against Hamas on social media. He was abducted by Hamas operatives, tortured for four hours, and then returned to his family as he lay dying, witnesses said.”

  The best number is right direction wrong direction, it has now turned positive, and as Hosking said when reading out the numbers, no government gets dumped when that figure is positive.
  
  I note the mouthy Hipkins had not one word to say about the vulgarity of Doyle, so he will know this will be seen as a left thing, extremely gutless for him to not say as he is leader of the opposition and Doyle is an opposition mp.

  If 10% of NZ’s population are ‘misfits’ then it is reasonable to assume Green support may stay steady around 10%.

    The whole poll was done on line panel , I think k those people are usually lefties, so this poll is encouraging. Note media lying about there is a 2 seat gap when it’s a 4 seat gap, and now Labour are behind then the new attack line is Labour catching. 2 good weeks for the coalition, and the filthy Doyle this week, then it will be interesting to see what happens next week as polls start again

      Swarbrick has characterised the revelations about Doyle as an attack on the rainbow community.
      
      [1] On the left, there is no such thing as personal responsibility. So when someone calls out bad behaviour of an individual, they deflect the valid communication by claiming it is an attack on a group, culture, race etc that the individual belongs to.
      
      [2] Swarbrick is defending Doyle for a number of reasons.
      
      (a) Doyle as a malfunctioning human being, was on the the party list, as managed by her and the party. She has to defend the list process. If she was to hold him to account, and be honest with herself, and reflect honestly on all the bad eggs the list has dished up, she would have to start doubting the Green List, and party in General.
      
      (b) She agrees with Doyle stance that essentially they can do whatever the hell they like or feel, and should not be held to account.
      
      After all, morals and decency are ‘so last century and colonial’. ‘Life should be a “free for all”, with no restrictions on sexual deviancy, no police, and no drug laws.’

        It is a fluffy piece that doesnt really say anything as she makes no real conclusions….just a reasonable amount of arm waving and finger pointing….she ends with:
        
        ‘The voting public will certainly know that the Green Party of James Shaw is a distant memory. It used to be a party that could appeal equally to the hippies in the Aro Valley and the housewives of Remuera. Now it is hard to know who they want to appeal to.’
        
        Personally I think she got it wrong about the party of James Shaw, she needed to head right back to Rod Donald to actually find a greenie….they’ve not been green since he died and Fitzsimmons retired.

        I’m so conflicted by that David … the charity and money raised doesn’t lessen the horror or disgust in what he perpetuated on his victims, nor on his employers who effectively enabled him for years.
        I arrived in England in the mid 80’s and could never quite get my head around why he was so revered – there was something so obviously creepy about him, I just assumed I was a mere colonial bumpkin and couldn’t understand the adoration and fame he had.

    Sorry Raphael, will never happen as long as the twenty percent of the electorate who have no intellectual ability to make an informed decision at the ballot Box can participate.
    Australia has “Compulsory Voting for Federal elections and participation in many areas of Northern Queensland and The Northern Territory remains around 50%, they cannot even be forced to vote.
    How many of the Green Party voters actually understand they are voting for Marxism and far left ideology with scant concerns for the planet?

  Half a million dollar bike rack for 24 bikes is about $20,000 per $500 bike, or even $1000 bike.
  Do we spend 1 million dollars per carpark for $50 k cars?

Whitehouse 1 MSM 0.
Currently, the seating arrangement is controlled by the WHCA, and conservative outlets like The Gateway Pundit, One America News Network, and Real America’s Voice are pushed to the sides of the room where we can only hope to catch the press secretary’s eye for a question.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced last month that the WHCA will no longer hold its iron grip over deciding which outlets get to participate in the coveted White House press pool and cover more intimate areas in the White House. Since then, Leavitt has introduced a New Media rotation for pool reporters to cover the President in the Oval Office, on Air Force One, and other spaces where only a limited number of reporters can access.

PARIS—A French court convicted Marine Le Pen of misusing European Union funds, banning her from the next presidential election in a ruling that shakes the country’s political landscape.

Judges handed down a sentence Monday that bars Le Pen from seeking public office for the next five years, upending France’s political order and thrusting her far-right party into limbo. Le Pen also received a four-year prison sentence. Half of that term was suspended, judges said, adding that she could serve the remaining two years by using an electronic bracelet or other alternatives to jail time.

  The crime of which she is committed – using admin staff to do party political work is something all MEPs do. But some (left wing affiliated) animals are more equal than others…
  
  Selective prosecution or unequal application of the law is a hallmark of corrupt, non-democratic govt – which it is clear is not the new normal in post-democratic Europe.

I absolutely get it that many people, especially in the msm, hate and fear Trump.
But this above is essentially an opinion piece about the weather.
You will have to scroll three-quarters of the way down this to find any mention of Trump at all.
Despite what the headline indicates.
And even then, the writer attributes actions by Trump and Musk that may not be true or relevant – to the weather.
But hey, never let an opportunity go by………

  I realise that you’re concerned because you’re a Stuff reader, assume many others are as well, and that therefore they have influence.
  
  They don’t, as shown by their declining reader/subscription/purchase/online numbers, the resulting financial decline, and their influence failing to prevent a National-led coalition from winning the last election.
  
  There are some issues that I think should not be dismissed – such as the culture war stuff that Hoskings and National ignore – but I think I’m safe in not worrying about what Stuff thinks on any issue, let alone President Trump, which, as you have guessed, was merely clickbait in the headline.

Not a mention of the queer creature Doyle on Stuff this am…if, as I said yesterday, an MP from the right had posted a pic of him with a teenage girl and the caption “fresh pussy!” the MSM would be all over it for days until said MP could take it no more and quit

Remember Aaron Gilmore? His crime – aside from generally being a dick – was to get pissed and asked a waiter “Do you know who I am?”

The jackals followed him for days until he quit. The MSM are disgusting.

  My main concern about this person (and his Green Party enablers) is that he seems to still be seen as appropriate to continue as a spokesperson for Early Childhood Education.
  That is not OK.

      A truly disgusting individual. I lost my career for using a dead child’s identity 25 years before I became an MP. This guy, as a MP, is broadasting his sexual preference for children…and the Greens enable him by making him spokesit for ECE…Doubly disgusting

    I noticed Chloe getting highly offended when a reporter referred to Doyle as “him”.
    But referring to a prepubescent boys anus as a sex organ for the purpose of raping him is just how the queer community express themselves…
    
    ( what she said must also be extremely offensive to the majority of gay people who clearly are not sexual predators, especially of children)

  David – has the stench of lawyer’s letters about it now something Audrey Young alluded to in her article. IMO this is black and white in terms of what the screenshots show therefore I assume there is a reason everyone including the PM are dancing on a pin.
  
  This story has the potential to end the Greens & Swarbrick hence why their allies are trying to bury this before it gets legs.

    The Greens argue that the Rainbow community embraces MAPs provided that they do not act on the attraction.
    ie it’s ok to be a pedo so long as you look but don’t touch.
    I’d suggest that a huge majority of gay and lesbian folks would not agree with the Greens on this.

      Pedo’s are not part of the gay ccommunity. Never have been. It’s a misconception. If they are a community, they’re one on their own. Chloe does not in any way represent us. She’s captured by the alphabet soup that is no longer us at all.

      To be perfectly honest, I think pedos have to be given the OK to exist provided they do not act on their attraction.
      
      What else are they supposed to do? Suicide? Assemble in the town square to be stoned to death?
      
      An analogy might be rape. . . Not a perfect analogy but it somewhat works.
      
      Rape often features in sexual fantasy – especially among women for what that’s worth. All theoretically OK provided sexual fantasies about rape remain fantasies, while actual rapes are illegal and prosecuted as far as practical.
      
      I would guess that most pedos have wildly unrealistic ideas about what raping children actually involves – i.e. whatever scenarios play out in their minds tend to diverge wildly from what really tends to happen.

    I just cannot understand that argument from the Greens – that the word is ok because it is in common usage in that (small) group.
    
    N***** is a word in common usage within the KKK, does that make it ok?
    
    Seig Heil is commonly used by the Mongrel Mob, does that make it ok?
    
    ‘Gas the Jews’ is commonly used by Islamists and their leftist allies in recent pro-Gaza demonstrations around the West of late, does that make it ok to say?
    
    Mr Doyle has repeatedly proclaimed on social media the fact that he celebrates boys anuses, (the very definition of ‘bussy’) and on several occasions accompanying pictures of children – that this word is in common use within his community doesn’t alter most New Zealanders viewing of this as highly suspect and unworthy of a parliamentary representative.
    
    This is nothing but a massive gaslighting attempt by the Greens – we know what we saw from Doyle and we don’t like it.

        Every heterosexual man knows that posting a picture of a girl and making a sexual comment about her anatomy is wrong. Some have lost careers, marriages, wealth and standing over similar. Think Ron Brierly.

      “PM pans attacks on MP’s words” ,story by Jamie Ensor .Can you believe it includes the line “Peters wouldn’t use the correct pronouns for Doyle yesterday” wtf ! 1984 right there , from our leading newspaper .
      
      The editorial also touches on it , in a broader context of this weekend displaying a number of instances under the headline “Intolerance mars political landscape”
      and again the editorial uses the “proper pronouns” ( which aren’t the proper pronouns) for Doyle as “them or their family”.
      
      Again 1984 stuff .
      
      Last was Audrey Youngs ;
      “Where is the old Green Party ” which was a defence of the media not rushing to print the story ( legal and sensitivity issues being considered ,working on it ) , an attack on keyboard warriors , but she did excoriate Doyle for his posts and Swarbrick in particular for being out of touch for basically defending him.
      
      Concluding she writes ;
      ‘The voting public will know that the Green party of James Shaw is a distant memory. It used to be a party that could appeal equally to the hippies in the Aro valley and the housewives of Remuera. Now it is hard to know who they appeal to.”

        kowtow: 1984 right there , from our leading newspaper
        
        Mate, the Horrid has not been “our leading newspaper” for at least 25 years, if not longer. It is a woke publication catering for the lefties and inverts among us.

        Quality? Not sure if there’s any newspaper in NZ that could be described as half decent.

      This is a classic demonstration of how MMP is destroying democracy in NZ.
      If Doyle had to face the ballot box he/she / whatever would have had the same chance of getting into parliament as a snowball has of surviving in hell!

        Agree Quail.
        Voters under MMP are being played for mugs.
        Parties like the Greens, for example, gleefully pick outliers from the fringes of civil society to stick it up the more conservative amongst us.
        They know full well that the majority of their choices to rule over the rest of us would never make it through a traditional ballot box process.
        It is actually a very cynical and self-absorbed policy – and don’t they just love it.

        Yes Gravel.
        Sadly Doyle is not the only one “ruling” in NZ because of MMP.
        Half NZ Parliamentarians have not faced a ballot, If they had there it is highly probable quite a number of MPs presently sitting would not be there.
        The Greens Doyle selection demonstrates just how undemocratic and bad MMP actually is!

  The correct path is a quick resignation from Parliament for this guy.
  The Greens will know this to be true.
  But apparently Chris Hipkins is supporting him.
  He apparently was alongside Shaneel Lal promoting the assault by sound and action at Albert Park.
  
  This is a classic duck, looks walks and quacks like one.

      This guy is profoundly the opposite, the worst of everything in a human being, right through to the cheating narcissistic pronouns.

        G : What “pressure”? I had the jackals camped outside my house – they stayed there even after I resigned…They followed Aaron Gimore everywhere he went – I truly believe they hoped he would suicide – until he could take it no more and resigned.
        
        What evidence do you have that this freak of nature – and that’s what IT is – is under any kind of pressure? It’s gone to ground somewhere…but as my case attests, they could find him pretty easily if they tried (we left a friends holiday house in the middle of the night because we – my then wife and I – were tipped off that the jackals would be there in the morning. My children were 8 and 4 at the time. My major concern was protecting them. And protecting the jackals from my Tongan wife, who would have dropped any who approached the kids).

Sources close to the Beehive are claiming that the Prime Minister is believed to be canvassing shifting Parliament further north. Pukekohe and Coatsville are being discussed. Polling shows Luxon could pick up at least two points by shifting the Beehive closer to Auckland. Not all National MP’s were polled.

Te Pati Māori President Tamahere is offering land in West Auckland to help shore up his deteriorating balance sheet although Waikato’s Tuku Morgan suggested land is cheaper in Ngāruawāhia.

Apparently, Wellington’s failure to retain its liveability is a factor.

Meanwhile the MP for West Otago is checking real estate opportunities in Queenstown for a site for a South Island Parliament.

Peter Reidy, the CEO of KiwiRail, earned $1.78 million in fiscal 2023/24.
Winston Peters has to step in to buy him two boats, in between being the country’s Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister.
What does Reidy do all day for 30X the average paycheck?
Fuck all perhaps?

Another Wellington restaurant, Daisy’s, closed down. Dining out should be considered a luxury, says owner of closed restaurant

The owner “… said people paid 40 percent for the human element for a meal at a restaurant compared with the price of food..”

I’d say the food cost is the least of the bill, and that is quite reasonable taking into account all the overheads. One factor influencing eating out less often is probably the wide variety of meal kits available. Although they do require the at-home human element, there seems to be an increasing trend towards pre-prepped ingredients and minimal time to the table. Like 15 minutes is now common.

Though that doesn’t include dishes. So there’s that.

Seems that ten litres of diesel has gone in to the water.
Knowing the numeracy abilities of our activist media, this could be anything from 100ml to 10,000 l.

Reports of today’s utterances re Mr Doyle are focussing on the same thing – the feelings, reputations and safety of the adults involved:
“Shanan Halbert said Luxon should stand up and ensure the safety of the rainbow community.”
Similar came from Hipkins and Ms Verrall.
Anyone on any side willing to stand up and ensure the safety of vulnerable and powerless children?
Not seeing it.
No voice for the kids then.
Right.

I see the muppets from The Maori Party are having a tantrum about the privileges committee and refusing to attend. Honestly these people are becoming so tiresome, my daughters had more maturity and resilience when they were primary school students! All I can say is good luck Labour trying to convince the voting public that a government with these idiots and the greens will advance this country and be stable. Surely middle voters kiwis are starting to understand what these nutter parties are like. If I was Labour I’d sack Hipkins and get someone in there who could work with NZ First because at this rate it may be their only option

  Sadly Labour isn’t far behind the Greens in sheer incompetence. Like the Green Party it consists largely of student politicians with no real life experience.
  Come the next election Peters (or more likely Jones) will have no real option other than National.
  And neither major party should entertain a coalition with the Maori Party.

1 News tonight covered the Benjamin Doyle story a bit more, and – somewhat surprisingly – have actually started asking some pertinent questions.

They showed the infamous post by Doyle of his child tagged with the “eggplant (erect penis) emoji” and even explained what it stood for. They asked whether the Greens had a problem with vetting their people. And they talked about an email that they had been copied into, from an irate gay woman lambasting Chloe Swarbrick over tarring the entire gay community when she said that some language used by minority groups may not be well understood by others. Ms Swarbrick dodged the media and left Marama Davidson to try and defend this awful slur.

I still find it doubtful that much more will happen – but at least some of the media are kind of asking a few questions.
