yep the last thing Dunedin needs is some decent accommodation thats more than 12 feet off the footpath. It especially doesn’t need it build on industrial land because the Dunedin waterfront is one of the town’s jewels.

It certainly doesn’t need the jobs down there because the economy is so vibrant, luckily theres been no factory closures or anything down that way.

Good on you Dunedin ensuring you stay firmly embedded in the 1950’s.

“….If people stuck to the real world then no one would be attacking the imaginary one conjured up by religion….”

Spoken by Kea – who wasn’t attacked and unstuck from the real world womb!

Abortion:Hard cases make bad law!

Abortion to save the Life of the Mother:

Philosopher Francis Beckwith explains the ethical course of action here: “First, when pregnancy endangers a mother’s life, medical personnel should try to save the lives of both mother and child. Second, if that is not possible, the physician must choose the course of action that best upholds the sanctity of human life.” In cases like an ectopic pregnancy, “the physician must save the mother’s life even if it results in the death of the unborn. His intention is not to kill the child but to save the mother. But since saving both is impossible and it is better that one should live rather than two die, ‘abortion’ to save the mother’s life in this case is justified.”

The purpose is to save the mother – not kill the baby.

“When he was U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. C. Everett Koop stated that in thirty-six years as a pediatric surgeon, he was never aware of a single situation in which a preborn child’s life had to be taken in order to save the mother’s life. He said the use of this argument to justify abortion was a ‘smoke screen’.”

Rape and Incest:

Again, the bottom line is this: regardless of the circumstances of his or her conception, a child is still a child. Consider this situation:
“What if you found that your spouse or adopted child was fathered by a rapist? Would it change your view of their worth? Would you love them any less? If not, why should we view the innocent unborn child any differently?”
As one commentator puts it:
“post-abortion trauma in many rape cases appears to be no less pronounced than post-abortion trauma in non-rape cases. Rape followed by pregnancy followed by abortion leaves three victims: the woman who was traumatized initially by the rape; the unborn child who is traumatized by the abortion; and, for a second time, the woman who is traumatized by her decision to have an abortion.”
And compounding one problem with another hardly is very helpful. Says one ethicist, “One wrong is not corrected by another wrong. One act of violence is not solved by another violent act.”

Birth Defects:

There is not one “national organisation” for parents of handicapped children that is on record as favouring abortion for the handicapped.
One arguement is that handicapped children are social liabilities. Who says so?
Indeed, what is normal? Is a child with only one arm less than a person? Is a deaf child a social burden? Many handicapped or deformed children, along with their families, have shared of the rich and rewarding lives they have lived. If we decide that society cannot accept a child with Down’s syndrome today, what will we prohibit tomorrow? Dwarfs?

Dr C Everett Koop has spent much of his life working with ‘deformed’ and handicapped people. He says that it is his “constant experience that disability and unhappiness do not necessarily go together. Some of the most unhappy children whom I have known have all of the physical and mental faculties and on the other hand some of the happiest youngsters have borne burdens which I myself would find very difficult to bear”.

Moreover, who decides who should live and who should die? Those who decide that certain handicapped children deserve to die may also decide that certain adults who are handicapped also deserve to die. Indeed, infanticide and euthanasia are logical outcomes of the arguments for abortion. Bear in mind that before Hitler started killing the Jews, he had 275,000 handicapped people murdered.

No one has the right to decide that another human being is not fit to live. This is especially true since a doctor’s diagnosis can prove to be incorrect. There are many stories of a mother being counselled to have an abortion to prevent the birth of an unhealthy child. Fortunately, the doctor’s advice was ignored and a very healthy baby was born.

And handicapped people certainly do not support abortion. There is not one “national organisation for parents of handicapped children that is on record as favouring abortion for the handicapped. In short, it is not the handicapped (or their parents) who want abortions for those who may be handicapped; it is those who are not handicapped. But should not the handicapped be allowed to speak for themselves?”

Conclusion:

Finally, it is worth noting that all four of these hard cases (rape and incest, risk to the life of the mother, and possible birth defects) make up only a tiny fraction of all abortions. One study put the four as comprising just 0.68 per cent of all abortions. Thus the overwhelming majority of abortions (over 99 per cent) have to do with other than these hard cases so often brought up by the pro-abortion camp.

As mentioned, hard cases make for bad law. Legalising abortion in order to deal with less than one per cent of all abortion cases is neither ethical nor sensible. And as has been noted, except for a genuine threat to the life of the mother, there really is no need to kill an unborn baby.

In cases such as rape or incest, if the mother really cannot cope with the child, then it can be given up for adoption. But killing the baby is surely not the answer.

Since the overwhelming majority of abortions are really cases of after-the-fact contraception, legalisation is not required. And since abortion kills a tiny member of the human race, there is no compelling moral or philosophical justification for legalised abortion.

Judith:”AND I wouldn’t do that by listening to one group of people. I would seek alternative knowledge from a variety of sources, including the competition and then and only then would I make a decision. ”

Then, dearest Judith, you would be doing exactly what the ministers who signed it off did. Exactly. They sought and gained – so they were told – opinions from 3 seperate sources, all engaged in the projects governance. The ministers were told go live had been signed off by those 3 independent groups. Trouble was, they hadnt – the officials who provided that information told porkies.

So, whats your next suggestion? Interrogation, thumb screws? If you pay people to do a job but they lie, and you base a decision on them NOT lying, where does that leave you?

“URGENT ‘Open Letter’ / OIA request to the Chair of the Social Services Select Committee – National Party MP Peseta Lotu-Iiga Sam”

5 June 2013

“URGENT ‘Open Letter’ / OIA request to the Chair of the Social Services Select Committee – National Party MP Peseta Lotu-Iiga Sam”

Dear Sam,

I am scheduled to address the Social Services Select Committee, of which you are Chair, on Monday 10 June 2013, from 4.10pm – 4.20pm at the hearings on the ‘Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Bill’, which are to be held at the Ellerslie Novotel Hotel.

I have also just been requested to give evidence in support of my following petition, from 4.20pm – 4.30pm at the same hearing, which I have agreed to do.

http://www.parliament.nz/en-NZ/PB/Presented/Petitions/5/0/5/50DBHOH_PET3157_1-Petition-of-Penelope-Mary-Bright-requesting-that.htm

Petition of Penelope Mary Bright

Requesting that Parliament declines to proceed with the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Bill until the lawfulness of the reliance of Auckland Council on the New Zealand Department of Statistics”high”population growth projections, instead of their “medium” population growth projections for the Auckland Spatial Plan, has been properly and independently investigated, taking into consideration that both Auckland Transport and Watercare Services Ltd, have relied upon “medium” population growth projections for their infrastructural asset management plans.

Petition number: 2011/64
Presented by: Holly Walker
Date presented: 30 May 2013
Referred to: Social Services Committee

It concerns me that the submissions for this arguably very significant Bill, which potentially affects so many people, were closed after a mere 13 days.

Please be reminded of your stated reasons, as outlined in the following Hansard record:

http://www.parliament.nz/en-NZ/PB/Business/QOA/5/7/8/50HansQ_20130530_00001001-1-Housing-Accords-and-Special-Housing-Areas.htm

[Sitting date: 30 May 2013. Volume:690;Page:19. Text is subject to correction.]

1. HOLLY WALKER (Green) to the Chairperson of the Social Services Committee: When do submissions to the Social Services Committee on the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Bill close?

PESETA SAM LOTU-IIGA (Chairperson of the Social Services Committee) :Submissions on this bill close today: Thursday, 30 May 2013.

……………………………………………………………………….

Peseta SAM LOTU-IIGA: After the bill was referred to our committee on the night of Budget night, I made—in my own decision—the decision to set a 13-day period for submissions.
………………………………………………………………………….

Mr SPEAKER: I am going to ask the member Holly Walker to ask the question again, and let us hope that on this occasion we get a simple answer to a simple question.

Holly Walker: Did he consult with the Minister of Housing or his staff before making the decision to close submissions on this date?

Peseta SAM LOTU-IIGA: The bill was referred on the night of Budget night, 16 May, and I did not consult with the Minister. I made this decision on my own.

Mr SPEAKER: Thank you for that answer.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

Please provide the following information which confirms whether, in making your (arguably arbitrary) decision to close submissions for the above-mentioned ‘Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Bill’, you were advised by, consulted with or lobbied by any of the following parties:

1) Simon Lusk.

2) Any person(s) associated with, in any way, the Tamaki Redevelopment Company Ltd, in particular – the Chair of the Board – Mr Martin Udale.

Maungakiekie MP welcomes significant milestone for Tamaki

Maungakiekie MP, Peseta Sam Lotu-Iiga, welcomes the first neighbourhood-based renewal programme in New Zealand that was launched today at the opening of the Tamaki Redevelopment Company in Glen Innes.

“This is exciting news for Tamaki. The Tamaki Redevelopment Company (TRC) is exactly what is needed to bring together the local community, Government and Council agencies, businesses, social services and public and private sector investment,” says Mr Lotu-Iiga.

The new company will ensure a coordinated approach to create measurable improvements across four key components over time.

A social component will support Tamaki residents and their families to get the skills, knowledge and employment opportunities they need. An economic component will strengthen the local economy, creating new jobs and business opportunities.

A housing component will optimise land use and existing housing stock, including progressing private housing development and delivering better social housing options in Tamaki.

Meanwhile, a spatial component will create safe and connected neighbourhoods and spaces that support the social and economic development of Tamaki and its community.

“Ultimately, the TRC will bring all the current and future initiatives and projects together into a single strategic framework and will lead a single voice that will deliver Tamaki’s transformation,” says Mr Lotu-Iiga.

“I look forward to seeing the vision of a thriving and self-reliant Tamaki turn into a reality.

I know of Donald Kagan. Great ideas on foreign policy and multi-culturalism. I believe he once said something like he didn’t think much of modern teachers, saying it was hard to find any difference of opinion among them. He’s right of course, its what happens when schools and universities become instruments of left wing indoctrination rather than education facilities.

Penny is not the problem.

The problem in this country is those dragging the National Party away from their founding principles and further and further to the left.

Their failure to fight for those principles and their abject cowardice in trampling them underfoot is the reason why we are in this stinking socialist quagmire today.

Look at the link below for an example. Thedavaselinemode, a National Party stalwart and adviser to John Key has penned a comment that could have been written by Russell Norman.

Such are the real danger to our liberties.

New Study Shows Cannabis Effects on Driving Skills

New research appearing online today in Clinical Chemistry, the journal of AACC, shows that cannabis can be detected in the blood of daily smokers for a month after last intake.

The scientific data in this paper by Bergamaschi et al. can provide real help in the public safety need for a drugged driving policy that reduces the number of drugged driving accidents on the road.

Cannabis is second only to alcohol for causing impaired driving and motor vehicle accidents.

https://www.aacc.org/gov/press_room/releases/Pages/030113_release.aspx

I hope this does not ruin your buzz Griffy 😉

Note that cannabis and provide are usually two words LOL 🙂

No argument here: legalise all substances for ingestion by consenting adults and impose a taxation regime based on harm minimisation and recovery of social costs – a la tobacco.

This is a great idea http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22751415

Would really help a lot of people, and be an nice gesture to others.

It’s practical, and would be something to brighten up your day as adjusting to a new one can be tough going.

That something so simple can have such a lasting impact on generations of parents is wonderful.

While your at the Police station (looking for drunks) Griff, try this experiment.

1. Bring in dozen a beers for the boys for the end of their shift.

2. Go to another station and give them a bag of weed.

I’ve got a better idea than any of those….why doesn’t the father to be pay for & give the mother to be the box of baby’s clothing instead? 🙂

Read the article, Kea, the (finnish) state does supply them. Thought you’d like it Mike.

Look, financially, it’s nothing compared to what our govt. can piss up against the wall on IT systems. Or consultants. Or the tea and biscuit budget.

Read how many Finnish people fondly remember back to when they received theirs. It’s not only practical – it shows that someone cares enough to help out what is for many a tough time.

It’d be great if more of this was done by community organizations.

Providing a bed (box) would also help prevent more of this occurring. http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/8759809/Co-sleeping-baby-deaths-like-an-epidemic-says-coroner

Longknifes you impy that all who smoke.pot are loses stoner scum
A wild unfounded statement when it is easy to prove piss is measurable worse per user to both the user and the persons surrounding them.
This antisocial effect places alcohol as if not the worse equal to the evil 3 crack coke heroin crystal meth.

Most studies rank alcohol as more harmful overall than any other substance due to the widespread nasty effects of its abuse.

Of all the helath and safty bullshit that has gone on, the worst thing that has occurred is that you can no longer buy a sausage thats isn’t incased in plastic, its a bloody travesty. Where have all the decent casings gone?

Alcohol is by far the most harmful drug in our society. It is a no brainer. However that does not imply smoking dope is a good idea either.

Kea – agree on both. However, I’d still be pissed (off) if they increased the excise on alcohol to stop drunks being drunk. I might have to start brewing my own.

Pauleastbay – tell me about it. Collagen casings taste horrible too. Proper pork or sheep gut is the only way.

Getting a decent sausage in this country is tough.

(cue “sausage” jokes 3,2,1…)

Paul, most of the sheep (and pork) intestines are sent overseas. Europe is a huge market, as is Japan. They used to process them here, but no longer. You can still get some through decent butchers, if you want to make your own sausages.
