They’ve hit the top of the taxes fuel will allow and tobacco is already over the top.

Beware, booze will be next!

  Yep.
  Wowsers from Otago University (Government funded of course) have been pushing for a massive tax hike on alcohol for some time.
  One woman was on TV recently pontificating that she thinks the price should be doubled!
  Stock up now Ladies and Gentlemen- A dozen beers will be fourty dollars if this Government stays in power….

    Get it right, these varsity scumbags are not Government funded, they are “Taxpayer Funded”, by decent hardworking people, something they know nothing about.

  Funny you should say that. I just posted on the fuel price piece that exactly 60 years ago in 1958 Arnold Nordmeyer the Fin Min in the Labour government bought down the so called Black Budget with big increases in beer and baccy levies.
  
  The result. The one term 57/60 government were thrown out and replaced by Keith Holyoakes Nats who went on to rule until 1972 when Big Norm Kirks Labour replaced them
  
  By my calcs we will see the COL tossed in 2020 and a Nat or Nat lead government rule until 2032.
  
  I wonder if the Labour historians have contemplated the interesting comparisons.

    But in 1958 they didn’t have Jacinda Ardern, mother of the nation’s baby, star of the UN and darling of NZWW so it will be different this time.

    I wish National would grow some right-wing balls. They’re as guilty of advancing socialism in NZ as they other lot are .. purely by not rolling back the left’s socialist ‘innovations’ that are foisted on us each time we have an ok economy and then long for a recession (aka vote in a Labour-led government)

  The licensing trusts are loving their state run booze/gambling monopoly and are able to sell at a higher price. There are now surveys to see if it would be a good idea if they have the monopoly on Cannabis also. So yes. Hike up booze prices and then also legalise Cannabis for another income stream.

Climate change fraud is the next to empty our pockets. Don’t these idiots know that China opens new coal powered plants on a monthly basis? Also the Greens don’t want any more oil exploration from an overseas company, meanwhile we choke on higher fuel prices.

  ARCTIC supply service to Nunavut and Northwest Territories has been cancelled due to “Extreme Ice”. Canadian Coast Guard, unable to get even its largest icebreaker through the ice!
  
  “He said the territory’s barge service is “not an amateur operation” and the Amundsen Gulf is so inundated with ice that “it’s absolutely unequivocal and clear [that] … it is just impossible” to get through.
  
  The territory requested assistance from the Canadian Coast Guard, which was unable to get even its largest icebreaker through the ice, Vandenberg said.

    There is a scientific consensus that unusually warm events are evidence of climate change and unusually cold events are just random variation.

      Actually as glacier melt increases it reduces the salinity of the sea which increases the freezing point of the sea which results in more sea ice. This increases albedo of the region (less dark water and more white ice) which reduces the temperature – so less glacial melt and increases salinity of water, a nice negative feedback loop that looks to return to equilibrium. Climate Change however is a greater forcing than that feedback loop – on average and over time we are loosing more land ice and warmer temperatures on average are resulting in less sea ice and more dark water, reducing albedo and increasing the warming of an area – a positive feedback loop.

  If we all turn into Vegan Paleo Vegatarians and just graze our front lawns which are fertilised by our own crap we will solve all the worlds climate issues.
  We can donate 30% of our incomes to Greenpeace, only use wooden bikes and drink the next door neighbours urine.

    That’s so stupid. Millions of people are vegan living normal lives. They get up, have breakfast, go to work, have lunch, maybe a snack or two during the day, go home, have dinner, chores and some relaxation, go to bed and repeat for working week.

    Golly is a disgrace to her profession.
    
    It is quite disturbing that Golly, a lawyer, has such little regard for the basic tenets of law like innocent until proven guilty.
    
    “I’m talking about the phrase “there’s no evidence” which gets thrown around a lot around this & most sex cases when the only evidence is the woman’s word. That IS evidence. Of course it can be assessed for credibility but you don’t in fact need physical evidence or verification”
    
    Where’s the Law Society? Surely they should be censuring her for failing to meet basic standards?

  “China opens new coal powered plants on a monthly basis”
  
  You are out of date. China has moved on.
  
  https://www.chinadialogue.net/article/show/single/en/10711-China-releases-2-2-action-plan-for-air-pollution
  
  At 9:42 am on March 18, 2017, with the long-term value of No. 4, Liu Yong pressed the stop button, all coal-fired units in Huaneng Beijing Thermal Power Plant, the last coal-fired power plant in Beijing, were shut down. At this point, the four existing coal-fired power plants in Beijing have all been shut down, and large-scale coal-fired power plants closely related to the growth and memory of several generations of Beijingers will become history, and bid farewell to the capital of this country.

      Chinese authorities have approved an extended program aimed at significantly curtailing coal consumption across the country. The move to cleaner energy will have a serious effect on the entire coal industry.
      According to the plan, within three years coal consumption across 82 China’s cities will be slashed by up to 10 percent against the numbers fixed in 2016.

    There’s more to air pollution than just freaking out about CO2. Smog and air pollution in Bejing does need cleaning up, but that can be addressed without worrying about CO2.
    
    The constant worry over CO2 is sidelining really important environmental issues.
    
    Every dollar spent on CO2 is one dollar we can’t spend on stuff that really matters.

    Many of the plants are in China, but by capacity, roughly a fifth of these new coal power stations are in other countries. Over all, 1,600 coal plants are planned or under construction in 62 countries, according to Urgewald’s tally, which uses data from the Global Coal Plant Tracker portal.Jul 1, 2017

Me and a friend were walking through a store and came across toilet paper with Cindys face on it among a large group of similarly hilarious gag gifts, while the thought of wiping my ass with her face amused me I was still semi indifferent to the existence of it, until my friend picked it up, looked it over and said
“This is terrible business practice.”
I was kind of taken aback by this assuming that my friend was gonna say something about respecting people in power or something along those lines, but I kept my cool and simply asked
“How so?”
“Why would you sell toilet paper with shit already on it?”

DPF’s tree deficit counter slowly edging towards 100 million, and Cindy on the AM show said they have 60 million seedlings ready to be planted. Duncan should have gone further with questions:
WHERE will they be planted?
WHEN will they be planted? (over what time frame)
WHO will be doing the planting?
Will 100million be planted this year and next year to keep up the promise of 1 billion in 1oyrs?

    MPI is running a tree counter. It reports 60 mill trees planted, 67 mill seedlings sold and 6.5 mill seedlings provided through government funding.
    
    So pretty much the private sector doing what they always do then. Who would guess that from the announcements being made?

  That’s a good idea, Biscuit, because the Princess is justifying her claims by agreeing with the thousands of idiots who are signing petitions, organising protests at petrol stations and blaming employers/employees for the price rises.
  This is a cycnical manipulation of the uninformed, but typical of socialist methods to deflect responsibility.
  As long as the Princess can get away with these half truths to her supporter base, she will continue to be safe.

  Why not have a sign that reads $0-943 + tax.
  
  That would get the message across !
  
  It could even be less if you take into account all the raft of taxes that the petrol companies are subjected to throughout their operation processes, about another -32 per litre !

The UN backed IPCC need to be taken to court and charged with fraud.
The scaremongering and belief that somehow humans can change the worlds temperature is nothing short fraud.
At least in Australia last night there was considerable pushback .
Western countries need to get behind Trump and kick this outfit for six.The sooner the better.

  What are you talking about. Trump administration recognises that climate change is happening, just thinks we are too far gone so no point in doing anything:

    Sea level has oscillated throughout Holocene by 2-3m over 1000 year periods for unknown reasons. Current sea level rise of ~2mm/year (roughly constant since end of little ice age) is normal, and with only ~1mm/year from ice melt is of no real concern.
    
    Higher latitude temperatures have varied by as much as 6°C during the Holocene. We can find driftwood under now permanent ice in the Arctic – there is more ice there now than a few 1000 years back. There is smaller temperature variations at lower latitudes (tropical temperatures clamped to a narrow range by sea water evaporation). Current temp rise, coming off coldest period of last 8000 years (little ice age that ending in 19th century) is nothing to write home about.
    
    Argo buoys only recording 0.3°C temp rise per century in upper 2000m of ocean. Ultimately limiting air temperature rise rate. Current air temp rise rate is about 1.2-1.3°C per century, taken over last 40 years (global satellite record).
    
    This is not the apocalypse we were promised, data contradicts more and more catastrophist claims and IPCC is getting desperate to keep the party going.

Every day a new set of lies from the PM and the msm NEVER calls her out on them. This is insanity. How can she flat fish lie and get away with it so easily? If we had any decent msm every lie would be noted and the facts published. Unfortunately the bulk of the public still believe what the msm tells them. I am very worried about NZ’s future. This col has to go but how to get the message out when the msm are so complicit in this disaster. Feeling depressed today.

  It’s time for Kiwi blog TV. If DPF has the time and staff I would love to see him or a colleague do seven minute face to face interviews with National MPs and other people of influence from the right. Nothing flash. Just a sit down interview where we can hear all the facts. The right need to become louder about the sense of fair play and rights of the individual which are quickly being eroded away. The left control the media and with that people’s perception of the government. The interviews could be posted on here. I’m sure with DPFs good reputation MPs would be willing to take part.

    DPF’s businesses are not set up in order to lose money. If it could be funded by the taxpayer, like Curia’s polling, yes, but anyone with broadcasting experience tempted to do anything like that should recall ‘Radio Liberty’. Folks won’t pay for such content – so the provider needs government backing, directly or indirectly, or a sugar daddy.

Hear some shoplifting shitheads were caught by staff and given a beating . . . now police are charging them. There will be more of this happening as the scrotes will leave court laughing about their forthcoming community service, which they will never complete with impunity.
Our justice system is failing rapidly, and looking at some of the weirdos now masquerading as police, it is no wonder.

There it was ,the Peters installed Commie Chic Comrade Ardern as NZs PM . Ardern seems to be following in the footsteps of one of her mentors a commie called Lenin.
Ardern ranting and raving about how the oil companies are fleecing NZs.
Yet she has deliberately and conveniently hidden the real truth. Under her watch petrol at the pump has gone up 39c a Litre.Made up of massive regionl tax increase with more to come.
Her Government are getting $1.18 Cents a Litre tax. Oil companies get 20c a Litre after paying for the oil import. Out of the 20c that is to pay running costs wages etc. etc.
Most of the punitive regional tax increases are to pay for the bribes they they offered for votes at the last election,with more to come.
As for NZs being “fleeced” by the oil companies,think Commie Chic Comrade Ardern in the mold of Lenin should tell the truth, if that is possible.The only ones who are being” fleeced” are NZs voters by Ardern and her gang as they attempt to pull the wool over our eyes,treating us all like a flock of sheep. Thanks to Peters as he hides under Arderns skirts,Gofigure.

Well we have a cry baby article from Clare Curren about all the nasty comments on social media and even going to the extent of trying to make out National were slapping each other on the back in triumph over her sacking. Clare said she had sympathy and support from her Labour, NZ First and the Greens but not National as they were to busy slapping each other on the back in victory to worry about her. This coming from someone that visited the Mansion of the fat Kraut and went all out to try and bring John Key down when she and Labour were in opposition now finds it abhorrent for the opposition to apply pressure and eventually cause the sacking of a MP that misled Parliament and the NZ Public on several occasions, NZ needs honest MP’s that are intelligent and capable of being a Minister not people like Clare that thought she was above all that and could twist the system to achieve her narritive.

  This must be the second article I’ve read about Claire Curran since she was stood down from Cabinet, saying how “unfair” this is and “poor me” etc.
  
  Each time there is a “poor me” Claire Curran article readers should play the “Where’s Wally” game, and try and spot Claire’s apology or contrition for being misleading, secretive and manipulative.
  
  Hint: don’t bother using a magnifying glass to spot the apology, although it may help with spotting “Wally”, it simply does not work with Claire!

  So can someone with inside experience/knowledge advise exactly what MP’s do when they are in opposition?
  Ms Curran is an example of an MP who was employed by the state for a number of terms in Parliament, yet once finally achieving a governing ministry portfolio had no clue about how to conduct herself, what the responsibilities were and the ethics and policy knowledge required.
  Being in opposition must be a very soft job indeed.

Did people know that:

Ireland has banned Catholic Schools? Ireland. Banned Catholic schools.

You can now go to prison for 5 years in New South Wales for online speech which some wonderful ‘diverse person’ finds intimidating?

Guess which religious minority are responsible for both? EAD could tell you.

5 years for speech. For saying something a jewish person finds ‘intimidating’. In fricken New South Wales. No Catholic schools in Ireland. And 15 people just got murdered in Sweden by a truck of peace.

There has to be a reckoning at some point. How can tjey do this? How? Why? So close to New Zealand. A real threat to freedom.

    It’s true though. Also the muslims of course. But that’s one and the same thing these days. How? How can they punish speech with 5 years imprisonment in Australia? Ban Catholic schools in Ireland? Send yet another truck of peace to take 15 more lives?
    
    How? Why? What is their problem? Where are the muslim and Jewish voices speaking out against this?
    
    This is what diversity leads to. This is why it cannot last. It is an existential threat to truth, beauty, reason and common sense.
    
    Banning Catholic schools in Ireland and 5 years minimum prison for opposing diversity – thanks judeo muslims!

      Only the homosexual Priests, and the homosexual Cardinals, and the homosexual laity. That’s a vast number, true. But lets be clear what it is. NAMBLA got it’s membership into the Church. Now they own the Papal See. Any other Pope would condemn what has occurred in Ireland for the immense evil that it is. Not this one. Instead this homosexual pedo Pope is silent. He condemns Vigano as ‘Satan’ whilst he betrays the Christians in China to their vicious communist government.
      
      These are hard times ahead.
      
      I don’t want to hate, it’s poison. But what can you do when people are destroying your nation, your country, and the true religion and giggling about it.

    You’re a liar. Or you’re ignorant. Or you’re engaging in Talmudic redefinitions.
    
    https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/hundreds-of-schools-to-change-entrance-policies-today-873126.html
    
    Yes Ireland most certainly has banned Catholic schools.
    
    “…except for schools of minority faiths, it is no longer legal for a school to prioritise children of its religious ethos when it comes to ranking pupils for enrolment.” That is the end of catholic schools in Ireland. You cannot take catholics. In schools. Oh right, but there are still schools there full of musloids called ‘St Patricks’. So they’re catholic, according to the Talmud.
    
    So it’s the end for catholic schools in Ireland. Catholic Ireland. But not for the musloid schools. Not for the Jews, of course. Just the Catholics, in Catholic Ireland. The Jews and the Muslims keep their schools. The Catholics get taught how to masturbate and that Ireland was always black and ruled by Homosexual Indians and their jewish friends.
    
    Not just that: “Schools are also now prevented from charging fees for admission or continued enrolment”.
    
    “The legal ban extends to contributions sought by schools from parents being linked to admission”.
    
    So no private sources of funding for Catholic schools. The government will rule and form the consciousness and consciences of it’s children.
    
    Jews and muslims can redeem themselves, if they just once, just once, ever, express sympathy for the Europeans in a European country getting fucked over, tremendously. Just once. But they won’t. Because they are the ones doing the deed.
    
    And when ugly scenes start to occur and the great screeching arises, they will wonder why.
    
    I try to hold no hatreds in my heart. This is cause for hatred. Anyone who hates because of this, has grounds for hatred.
    
    MCos never ever comment on Ireland again.

    You’re a moron, an imbecile, and a liar/deceiver. Don’t ever comment again. Ever. Especially on Ireland. Ireland has been raped, and raped, and raped, and raped, and raped, and raped. And this is just the last in a series of rapes. Always by those connected to the Anglo Jews.
    
    This is Ireland.

    Not some country for homosexual utterly corrupt Hindus run out of the City of London Corporation, mentally ill women and children, Musloids and sinister Jews.

    Ireland fought hard, and now it’s been psychologically raped.
    
    It will not stand. The Irish are gentle and tolerant, kind, cerebral and humorous. But eventually, they’re going to start fighting back. They always do. Some of the greatest men in western history came out of Ireland. Turn of the century. They’re not all f******. There will be reckoning for the worm-tongues.

      And they will be vicious. The Spanish civil war is going to be like a drop in a vast ocean compared to what is coming. And we will probably lose. But the mistake of letting the other side survive won’t occur this time, I imagine.
      
      We are being cultivated to lose these wars. Or simply to never even have the opportunity to fight them.

      The only question is. Will your children walk out of the fog of war. Or will it be the enemies of civilization? Or is Q right, and all will be revealed and resolved in the US by June next year. Will the counter-revolution then spread to the nations of Europe proper? Even after the faked results in Sweden? Who knows.
      
      Does anyone know the true story of William Tell? After he was forced by the governor to shoot the apple of his Sons head? He and a few others killed the governor. They killed every single person in his ruling party. They killed his entire family.
      
      And William Tell to this day is a national hero. That is what is coming. It is a fucking war. In the United States. In Canada. In Australia. In Ireland. In the whole of Europe. It’s just a silent, cold one, for now.
      
      Fuck. The end of Catholicism in Ireland, led by an Indian homosexual jew (he isn’t catholic) and the total end of free speech in the economic heart of Australia, led by the same people. Either the diversity led by them wins, or they get expelled. There is no in between.
      
      And I invite any member of the community in New Zealand to use the freedom of speech we have preserved here via the good nature of DPF to defend what is being done in Ireland. Tell the Irish why they should hate you from the depths of their souls. Tell the Irish why the religion of their ancient fathers is being covered in shit before it gets burned away, while these degraded ‘minority religions’ get to keep all their apparatus for self-preservation. Tell the Irish why they shouldn’t hate.
      
      Anyway, off I go to my last class of the day. When it eventually opens up, I hope I’m there. I hope I’m in Ireland when it starts.

        Lol what can you say. I’ve said enough. I just will have to pray in extremis to stop the over-flowing hatred in my heart. It doesn’t include individuals who support things like free speech obviously. Or Prime Ministers that didn’t fuck us in this manner when they had the chance.
        
        Otherwise, may God put a curse on Israel and the Synagogue of Satan.
        
        May western civilization reclaim it’s countries without having to shed too much blood.
        
        And may Europeans and gentiles understand the nature of the war being waged on them now – with reference to the destruction of Ireland and the ancient catholic religion of Ireland. Wouldn’t it be nice to get just one, one member of these enemies pretending to be friends expressing outrage over what is being done to the Catholics, in fucking Ireland, the original colony.
        
        But it won’t happen.
        
        And it won’t be forgotten.

So Air NZ is out of pocket by $20k because of allegedly not handling a case of a ‘problem’ pilot properly. Strongly seems the pilot is no longer employed. I think $20k was cheap at the price – given the background of the case I would would not want the guy flying a plane I was travelling in and indeed Air NZ would have shirked its responsibilities to customers, shareholders and insurers by keeping him on. Seems the issue was Air NZ did not ‘wet nurse’ him out of his problems (failed simulator tests among other things) – whether that would have helped goodness knows.
If a pilot ‘crashes’ a plane on a simulator then all things equal he could well crash the plane in real life under similar circumstances. OK if he was set a task with a distinct likelihood of a ‘crash’ (eg something far more serious than 1/2 failed engine), then a ‘crash’ would be acceptable. But this did not seem to be the case.

  They ruling did not say they were substantively wrong to ground him. But there are so many procedural hoops to jump through. there’s always a good chance the employer will make a misstep somewhere and end up having to pay.

I’ve just spent a four days staying with a relative whose recent descent into straitened circumstances has included a move to Papakura. Four days was enough to see more than enough of South Auckland. Hadn’t roamed that area for at least 10 years. My random impertinent question is: why are all the starving children so FAT?

  From Morrissey’s link:
  
  Calling All Sports-Loving Prank Callers!
  It’s time to step up and do your duty
  Let’s proceed on the assumption that prank calls DO actually lead to the receiver committing suicide. If that is true, then every sports lover in the country needs to do THIS as often as he/she can, until the inevitable happy result comes about …
  
  Morrissey, what on earth is wrong with you? Exhorting people to harass someone with the express intention of causing them to commit suicide is sick. I believe it is also a crime under the Harmful Digital Communications Act.

So I checked CNN last night for a giggle and the female host said all the women she talked to over the weekend were really angry about Republicans putting Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court and were going to vent their frustration at the ballot box. I was sitting there thinking, the poor guy had no credible evidence against him and still he was being smeared. I bet those “women she talked to” were already hardcore leftists.

The other one the left rolled out in the US over the weekend was anyone that didn’t believe Dr Ford or Julie Swetnick etc was “a denier.” Oh so original I haven’t heard that one before.

  No, he is not iconic.
  But being important and influential is not what you know, but who you know.
  Being a hard working career tradesperson or having professional qualifications cannot compete today with being on TV or being closely associated with “celebrities “ whose knowledge of fashion, hipster vibes, mind altering substances and access to gossip is paramount to success.
  People take more notice of actors on Shortland St and celebrity activists who can sing, and maybe dance, than they do of the dull worker bees.

The government gets called the COL, or Coalition of Losers, a lot on Kiwiblog. I think it might be appropriate to give the National Party opposition a satirical acronym of its own, and refer to it as the CCP, given its continuing defence of the dictatorship in Beijing. In a recent statement Mark Mitchell warned of the dangers of US-NZ joint military exercises in the South China Sea, and cautioned against NZ’s becoming too close to the US at China’s expense:

  It’s a bit unfair to call out just the National Party for cuddling up to the Chinese commies. Sure, they have an actual Chinese espionage guy in their caucus, and plenty of current and former senior ministers are openly in the pocket of Chinese firms. But this is just standard for our political parties. Labour has its own quite dodgy Chinese MP, and all parties accept money from the Chinese and support the suborning of our universities and other institutions by Beijing’s propaganda vehicles.

    Yes, I’m ancient enough to remember the late ’80s, when National would condemn Labour for its nuclear free policy, and warn of the dangers of cuddling up to commies at the expense of the US. Now, in 2018, we have Labour veering towards the US, and National criticising them for it, and apologising for Beijing. History’s a parade of ironies…

… “Approximately 50 Auckland suburbs are valued less than their current CVs, highlighting how the capital valuation for a property can become out-of-date,” he said.

Christchurch was in a similar situation – Avonside, Upper Riccarton, Dallington and Avonhead were among the suburbs with properties worth less than CV, as a median value. … read more via hyperlink above …

  Interestingly, my bank’s estimate of the value is about $100,000 more than Homes.co.nz, and is adjusted weekly. Now either my bank has no idea about valuations ( which could be a problem for THEM if I default), or somehow the methodologies used are slightly different. My bank’s estimation is in line with the new CVs. However, since the housing shortage is going to be exacerbated shortly when SLG fucks the rental market over, prices are probably going to rise steeply once again.

    To add to that, two trials and two appeals did not make killers of Teina Pora and Arthur Thomas. Malcolm Rewa and Len Demmler slaughtered those victims.
    The judgement is a train wreck, but it is a common sight. Ask Brendan Dassey for example.

  I’d like to make the following comments:
  
  1. I know the Lundy family very well, they are exceptionally fine people. They do not deserve this scumbag Mark dragging their family name through the mud regularly over the last 18 years with ludicrous appeals.
  
  2. The endless appeals are costing the NZ taxpayer a fortune. It is astonishing that our judicial system can be abused like it has by Mark Lundy, whose stone cold, absolutely inarguable guilt is beyond question.
  
  3. Because of this abuse of our legal system and his refusal to admit his guilt, Mark Lundy should never be released.

Pride in new rainbow crossing on Wellington’s Cuba street

Oh how wonderful for the probable small amount of ratepayers who actually care about this child like nonsense.
Would be really interesting to know how much it cost though as things “arty” like this don’t come cheap.
Cultural impact assessment, traditional blessing, gay rights consultations and artist fee could easily chew through some big dollars if the trough is deep enough.

Just saw the biggest load of bull on CO2 emmisions.
From the BBC (thought they were a news agency)
car, use 129g of CO2/Km on a single person trip
bus, use 101g of CO2/Km on a single person trip
bicycle, use 0g of CO2/Km on a single person trip
to spite the obvious apples/oranges comparison
ie the number of times cars travel with more than one person in and the number of times buses run empty.
0g /Km for bikes? So the rider doesn’t breath in and out while cycling?

  http://cozybeehive.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-much-co2-do-you-exhale-while.html
  BICYCLIST VS CAR : THE 15,000 MILE ESTIMATE
  
  If you want to compare bicycling with driving a car, then use the industry’s 15,000 mile average. In 2009, a Toyota Prius, one of the better cars around in terms of emissions, generated about 3810 kg of CO2 for 15,000 miles. For the cyclist riding the same total distance at average 15 mph :
  
  (15,000 miles/15 mph) x 60 minutes x .0062 kg CO2/min = 372 kg of CO2
  So about 1/10 of that of a Prius, but not zero g/Km

    If you’re going to count the CO2 produced by the cyclist, you should include the CO2 produced by the driver and passengers, as most commuter cyclists I see don’t go hard enough to get significantly out of breath…

  And an aircraft:
  ‘The engines of an airplane work by burning fossil fuel (combustion). This produces carbon dioxide and water vapour. … Currently, airplanes are also the worst when compared to other forms of transport in terms on the impact of greenhouse gases per passenger. Aircraft engines also emit heat and noise’.

Did they mention how much longer the cyclist took to get there? Did they mention how many times he was knocked off his bike, or froze to death in the snow?
There are benefits to driving in a car that shouldn’t be forgotten when making comparisons. Emitting a bit of CO2 is better than getting run over. Well, I think that’s still true.

What’s the problem with Murray Deaker?
A reply to “Longknives”.

The cynical abuse of this forum’s absurd and anti-democratic “six complaints” mechanism has resulted in both of the first two instalments of our series Making Fun of Stupid People being suppressed here, which is supposed to be a place for open and robust debate. Happily, while they are banned by the thought police from appearing on Kiwiblog, they are viewable here:
https://morrisseybreen.blogspot.com/2018/10/making-fun-of-stupid-people-victim-no-2.html

The enemies of free speech who have suppressed MFoSP have also suppressed the comments of other Kiwibloggers. (So much for open and free debate.) Amongst those suppressed comments was this one by my good friend Longknives:  

Can I ask?- What’s your problem with Deaker Morrissey? 

OCTOBER 9, 2018 9:45AM

BREEN REPLIES:

I have been on Deaker’s case for many years. I think he’s responsible more than anyone else for the abject state of sports, especially rugby, commentary in this country. His behaviour after the 1999 RWC final was not only a disgrace, it was treacherous and hateful, and most of all, ignorant. Deaker is, thankfully, not heard or seen much these days but a generation ago he was all over the media. I haven’t wasted much time recently thinking about the horror of his notorious radio show or his cretinous television performances, but I welcome the opportunity to rehash some of what I’ve written about him over the years. I will put some of these items up here, and in extended form on my blog, in the next few days. In the meantime, here’s a sampler of my writing about Murray Deaker, AKA “The Screaming Skull”, AKA “Anders” Dickhead, AKA “The Mouth from the South”, AKA “Deaks”….

  They will need it. Big 2nd quarter NZD drop will send inflation shooting up in 3rd quarter (out next week) due to expensive imports. Combined with reduced discretionary spending it will kill growth and drop NZD and business confidence and spending still further. The excrement is about to hit the air mover.

  Labour were always going on about National cooking the books to get out of surplus and now find it ok to massage the figure by making the Housing Corporation borrow over two billion to forfil some of the housing problems without it affecting the budget figures so how do we know that their has not been other borrowing hidden from these figures.

  Most of Labours big spend-ups (eg, the Families Package) didn’t kick in until 1 July so are not included in this reporting period.
  Essentially this surplus is on the back of Nationals prudent economic management and the cancellation of their planned tax cuts.
  No wonder Robbo is being so cagey.

    What has been left unsaid about this ‘surplus’? There has been a very strange reaction from the markets with the NZD down against all of the major currencies and the NZSX having another bad day and about to slip back under 9ooo. A massive and unexpected surplus should have seen the NZD strengthen significantly and the NZSX a positive day. Do the international markets know stuff that we don’t?

      The ANZ Truckometer indexes both fell in September. The Heavy Traffic Index fell -2.6% m/m to be up just +0.4% in the September quarter. The Light Traffic Index fell -0.7% m/m (+1% q/q). ANZ commented: “We now have complete data for Q3. The monthly fall in the Heavy Traffic Index means the Truckometer is now suggesting the risks around GDP growth in the quarter are skewed towards a weaker outturn.”

      TICKING UP
      The ANZ Monthly Inflation Gauge rose in September and is now +2.9% higher than a year ago. Seasonal price rises and ongoing housing-related price pressures are keeping this Gauge ticking upward. Separately but related, David Hargreaves reviews whether we are now facing stagflation.

  But Fletch we do appreciate the irony as sweet cheeks is trying to claim credit for figures to the end of the year to June and the end of the good times. While at the same time the silly little girl is trying to blame oil companies for being greedy to cover up their tax gouging pushing fuel prices up. Carefully avoiding that their actions also caused the NZ$ to slide. Unfortunately for sweet cheeks it is already impacting negatively in the Balance of Payments starting month on month SINCE June.
  Also since June there has been some Cullen like creative borrowing being done again as before when they also supposedly recorded frequent surpluses. Completely overlooking that the Kiwi has lost $0.06 since the point up to which the last of the good times ended with these figures. We will not speculate on why it has taken so long for this wonderful news to be released since we understand how long it takes to “assemble” such a vast array of details. We can however expect to hear at least one patsy question next week on “what reports have been received” for the script to get another airing.

  Wonder how long before his wife leaves him, and his daughter refuses to speak to him ever again.

    Why would she leave him? Gee, Hillary had reason to leave The Bill, but chose to stay and ridicule the women who spoke up. Kavanaugh’s wife obviously has class.

      You have clearly not been keeping up. His poor wife did, though. And so did his daughter.

Jeeeeez moronissey I just wasted 3 minutes on your blogspot,seriously go visit your doctor about your obsessive compulsive disorder.
That isn’t normal behaviour unless Deaker took off with your Mrs FFS.
Do you live in a wheelchair and carry out your correspondence with a mouth pointer? that would be the only reason you would dedicate an entire blog to shit on one man,such an obsession is a danger to your neighbours and the community in general,,,SEEK IMEDIATE HELP !!!!!

  Softail, my friend, as you would be well aware, my “obsession” with New Zealand’s most egregious sports commentator amounts to a dozen or so posts over a couple of decades.
  
  Using your yardstick, every journalist who writes more than half a dozen articles about any politician is a candidate for the looney bin.

Hmm. The big homeless count came up with 336 people living on the street or in cars. Multiply by 2.5 because they’re guessing to round it to 800 or so. Then include 2900 people who aren’t actually living on the street, and we’re up to 3600 or so. A bit odd, but I’m with them so far. At least they told us where the numbers come from. What isn’t so clear is how they get from 3600 homeless to ~26000 homeless. Where do the other 22000 come from?

  I don’t know if it is true but I heard they count adult offspring living with their parents as being homeless.

    NZ Statistics have a definition they use, summary as follows.
    
    Homelessness is defined as living situations where people with no other options to acquire safe and secure housing: are without shelter, in temporary accommodation, sharing accommodation with a household or living in uninhabitable housing.
    
    There’s a 15 page expanded version on their website. I understand it is a different definition to that used in other countries so panic about 40,000 homeless is not necessarily warranted.
    
    Not clear to me at least if adult offspring living n the basement count as homeless, but may do since a family bunking up with another household will count.

Claire Curran deserved everything she got as she was an incompetent MP and minister.
Especially of communications, when she could not even string a sentence together! without an er or um.
I hope her family realise what a waste of space she was.

Regards fuel prices
Ardern forget to mention the fact the the dollar has dropped under Labour which increases the cost of imported fuel a lot. And that petrol companies also had to pay their staff more due to the wage rises in April.

There is an old saying

I like that suggestion putting up the price on their signs with out tax!

That would really stick to Ardern

Our politicians don’t give a rat’s arse about our national borders.

Two-thirds of serious immigration crime is ignored – is uninvestigated.
