  Starting the day by insulting others.

  “The woman reported that Muhammad “would hit and kick her,” the complaint states. “Victim stated that Muhammad used a closed fist when he struck her. (She) stated Muhammad believed it was ‘play,’ but she stated it made her feel ‘bad.’ (She) also stated that Muhammad would make her kiss him everyday.”

Kiwibuild – delivering 1000 homes by 1 July 2019.

It depends what is meant by ‘delivering’. Wouldn’t most ordinary people assume that 1000 families will be living in their new homes?

Nope. Mr Twyford says 800 of these will be bought off the plans. So private developments underwritten by the government with completion possibly years away. And that assumes all goes well with the development, not a done deal with construction workers in short supply.

Construction companies going to the wall will free up workers for other projects though and the Kiwibuild developers will no doubt be in like a robber’s dog to snap them up. And there are always migrants, many of them, not sure where they will be living mind you.

That sounds like a lot of unhappy Kiwibuy-off-the plans campers. Well maybe not so many. 245 currently pre-qualified but that expires after 6 months and mortgage drawdown is going to be well after that in most cases.

There is already reported to be an oversupply of new builds in two Auckland suburbs – Pinehill and Albany Heights – and a big jump in properties for sale in some locations. Buyers might be well advised to watch and wait to see if developers start to drop their prices to stave off liquidation.

    No offense to my Auckland based friends on here, but if I was advising the opposition I would base the entire 2020 campaign on Kiwibuild being a corrupt, unaffordable scheme by leftwing Auckland politicians trying cement majorities in their seats. In short Kiwibuild is a Auckland vs the rest of NZ scheme. The problem is National would likely keep it in power.

    Interesting, and not surprising. Though there are only 10 people on the social housing register (approved for social housing) for Queenstown / Lakes as at 30 September 2018 from a total of 9536 all up. Not a lot of demand then.
    
    Ms Collins has been asking a lot of written questions about numbers and locations of Kiwibuild homes under contract. Answers? None that I could see, just a boilerplate statement that the info is commercially sensitive.
    
    How that could be the case when they are under contract I do not know.

      There’s a huge and overwhelming demand for affordable housing in the QLDC region.
      
      The reason nobody goes on the state house waiting lists is because there are only nine state houses in the entire district and Housing NZ has been trying for years to get rid of the remaining stock for years (they sell the houses as soon as they are vacated). It’s politically unpalateable for Housing NZ to accommodate state house tenants in a resort town.
      
      Consequently the district has started other schemes to create affordable housing based around private homes on leasehold land owned by a local housing trust. Do a Google search for “Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust”.

        The trust is a social housing provider, homes assigned from the social housing register and income related rent subsidised by the taxpayer.
        
        The social housing register is for social housing, not just state housing.
        
        What has happened elsewhere is that state housing has been on sold to other social housing providers, same terms and conditions pretty much.
        
        Are the state houses already sold now owned by the trust? Or another social housing provider? Either way, there is little demand and availability doesn’t seem to stop the other nearly 10,000 applicants for cheap housing.

        The QLCHT doesn’t buy and operate former state houses. It’s a different model to other parts of the country – most of their funding comes from DCs that developers pay when agricultural land is rezoned for residential development.
        
        I don’t know why your pretending that there is no demand for affordable housing in the Queenstown Lakes district. The Community Housing Trust has over 500 families on their waiting list:

  In the twenties and thirties New Zealand Rail used to prefab houses at their Frankton factory and move them to wherever.
  It would take a carpenter and three hammer hands three weeks to complete the house on site.
  So why doesn’t doofus go back to that very efficient service?

      Dead right. When my then-wife and I build in 1981-82, a 975sqft Craigwin home was all we could afford. Certainly didn’t have an en suite, walk-in ‘robe and butler’s pantry. As for internal access, hell, we didn’t even get a garage for three years, until we had saved enough, because every cent we had went into the house.
      
      These days, young couples (like Ardern and Twyford’s poster children doctor and marketing manager) expect a “starter” home to be at least four brms, with all the add-ons above, and more. Whatever happened to making do?

        @ madamezucchininz – we were the same. We just qualified for a Housing Corp first mortgage (at 18% interest), but we were $12k short of what we needed to build. The builder put us in touch with an insurance company that loaned us what we needed at 21%, but we also had to take out double the value of the mortgage in life insurance.
        
        It was tough for the first few years, but gradually got better, and we were able to clear the second mortgage before we started a family. That’s what most of our friends were doing too, and it was just how you had to do it to get your foot on the property ladder. Imagine the young couples complaining about the cost of housing now having to pay more than 5% on their single mortgage.

  Come late 2020 I predict less than 2000 genuine Kiwi Build houses ( that’s the ones that are extra to those that were going to be built anyway).
  
  All the Nats have got o do is go back and find clips of Twitford spouting his bullshit and play them as their party adverts or do balloon poster with the lies spewing out of Twitfords mouth.
  
  At least some of those who wanted a house and their parents and grand parents will tumble top the fact they were lied to.

Gee, our substanceless non-leader of a Prime Minister refuses to take a position on an issue. Quelle surprise.

  The best was her word-tango with Winnie at APEC over the China vs USA influence argie-bargie.
  
  I paraphrase, but here’s the gist:
  
  PriNZess: We will not be drawn into this, we are leaving it for the nations to work out on their own.
  
  Sounds fair enough, treat them like grown ups. Not our problem.
  
  Winnie: NZ is taking a leadership role in this. The Pacific Nations depend on our leadership.
  
  Also, fair enough, but 100% out out of step with PriNZess.
  
  Of course when it comes to countries like Australia that do not need our “leadership”, she will insert her beak.

      Unlikely, as Syphilis is probably from the Americas.
      
      According to the hadith Muhammad suffered from a long-lasting disease, which he treated by means of bleeding. He walked as somebody who comes down from a hill. His skin-colour was peculiar, not white, not too tanned, somewhat rosy. His eyebrows were conspicuous. He was sweating heavily, especially when he was receiving revelations. He heard the noise of bells and voices. He had a great appetite and suffered from hunger. Notwithstanding his sexual relations with ten young women, he remained quasi-sterile: one only child after the age of forty years. During his last illness he suffered from intense headaches, losses of consciousness, back- and intestinal pains. He died at the age of 62 years. Psychologically he was known as trustworthy, somewhat retiring and prude. Initially, about at the age of forty years, he was depressed, retiring, and showed a tendency to suicide. He spoke slowly. Most typical were his great hands, dough feeling palms, great feet, a long fleshy nose, well developed ears and a peculiar voice.
      
      These indications suggest that he suffered from acromegaly, like Jaws (Richard Kiel), Andre the Giant and Tony Robbins

  Good on him for wanting to share the gospel with these tribes people.
  
  The situation reminds me of the first missionary to South Korea. He gets off the boat and walks from the surf onto the beach where a man with a sword cuts off his head.
  
  The missionary was carrying a Bible which was grabbed by his slayer. The pages of the Bible were used by the man to paper his walls. The man began reading what was written and because of reading the Bible he himself became a Christian. And that’s how Christianity began in Korea.
  
  Who knows, this modern day missionary also may have not died in vain?

    People who believe that people dying is not bad (due to promised afterlife) have fundamentally untrustworthy judgement – they don’t place sensible value on their or other’s human life in their decisions. Which is why religious types should be kept away from all forms of governance. A lesson the West has taken to heart.

  Igm, yes it is. It is also a problem in rural areas where we suffer the urban idiots who will insist on bringing their pets to the country. Our vet told m of a local farmer who had the sheep he had sent to the works reject for export because of a clown who had been letting his dog wander. Let us say the dog was caught & it cannot wander any more & yes, it was the guilty animal).

        You are a case in point, that is an ignorant townie (just like Stephie & CoL supporters in general). The Sheep measles cycle is completed when the dog eats raw meat.
        
        Unless the farmer wants to commit economic suicide, they don’t feed their dogs raw meat and they treat their dogs for worms.

Clarke is at it again. Yesterday, in his ham fisted way, he made announcement that the capital spend programme will go ahead at Middlemore.

This morning we learn that the business cases are not ready yet for these announcements. So, is this an attempt at squirrel news diversion? Tell people what a good job of spending they are doing in health, & divert people’s attention from the wasted money in education or the Czech immigration problem?

  Bloody media are being stifled or else compliant to germ Little as nothing that may affect this shower of shit COL is being relayed to the public.
  Hopefully Fairfax will sell off their holdings in TradeMe then exit media in NZ.
  This would make it easier for “Big Rupe” to get a hold on our media and give us a fair and balanced coverage.
  We are getting shit currently, and it would be the end of COL, were they held to account as National are subject to.

I’m curious….On the TV3 morning show they have ‘guest’ presenters now that the serial ‘woe is me’ renter Gillies is off on leave, and they are always a woman, when Mark goes on leave it’s a mixture of male/female….are TV3 scared of the feminazi’s complaining if it’s an all male panel? (albeit short term) Personally I’d be happy if Gillies never came back, she is about as welcome to see as a wet weekend!

When the book Hit and Run was released, the controversy seemed mainly about the location of a village, which Jon Stephenson had correct in an earlier documentary, but appeared wrong in the book.

However a question not raised, and so not resolved, but seemingly much more important was – Who were the civilians actually killed, since the book differs from the official record?

A three-year-old girl. A father and son. Two poor farmers. A teacher visiting home.
These are the six Afghan civilians that were killed in a botched 2010 NZ-led SAS raid, according to a new book by journalists Nicky Hager and Jon Stephenson.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/87961070/hit-and-run-the-six-people-a-new-book-alleges-a-nz-sas-raid-killed
So, 5 males and one three-year-old girl – Hager and Stephenson

Some days after the operation, the [then] Provincial Governor of Baghlan Province, Governor Mojid, received a delegation of villagers who claimed that “a very big operation had occurred with helicopters … that some landed and the operation was firing at civilians and left. The locals claimed that six civilians were killed, 4 adult males, 1 adult female and one child aged six. Additionally there were two adult females being treated in a local hospital for wounds. – LtGen Tim Keating, Press Conference on Operation Burnham March 27, 2017
http://www.nzdf.mil.nz/downloads/pdf/public-docs/background-to-operation-burnham.pdf

The delegation of villagers the Provincial Governor was just days after the incident, the book was years later. So do time or culture explain the discrepancy? Or something else?

Is discussion of the whole matter not pointless, without establishing first the identity of the six civilians killed?

  Any claim made by Nicky Hager should be treated with extreme skepticism. Basically start from the assumption he’s lying, and you’re on solid ground.
  
  Hager’s modus operandi is to do the bare minimum of “research” (typically involving exactly the sort of immoral or illegal invasions of privacy that he would scream blue-murder about if it happened to him). This grabs him one or two verifiable facts. Then he spins his yarn, relying on these verified facts to lend credence to a fable, the vast majority of which will be just the delusions of his own radical-left imagination.

*Elementary, my dear Watson* ?

The NZ Herald reports….

*Madeleine McCann* could still be alive and trapped in an underground dungeon, a retired detective who investigated her disappearence has claimed. David Edgar believed Maddie could resurface ‘at any time’ and likely has ‘no idea’ about her true identity, having been abducted by a child sex gang while holidaying in Portugal.

This comes as her parents were said to be ‘greatly encouraged’ that Scotland Yard could finally be ‘closing in on Maddie’s kidnappers’ after nearly twelve years…..’

  This may be out of date but I think one gram retails for around $500. Depending on how it’s cooked, either crystals or white powder can be produced. If you buy crystals it is probably the real thing but if you buy powder it could be mixed with all kinds of stuff. The amount to get high varies by individual and how long they’ve been using, Maybe a quarter of a gram might be average but I’m not really sure.

On the “totally unrelated but interesting” front, the journalist that was killed, Khashoggi, his name always seemed kind of familiar. I now remembered there is a track on an album I have by Queen called, ‘Khashoggi’s Ship’.

  FWIW:
  
  Some of the older regulars on this site might recall a certain Adnan Kashoggi and the Lockheed aircraft ‘episode/s’ of the 1960’s.
  
  Adnan K was close the the Saudi royals, the deceased journalist being Adnan’s nephew, a small detail which (both oddly and noticeably), none of the MSM seem to noticed.

(Semi) good news for Australians re: Amazon. They can now shop from the U.S Amazon store again, but this doesn’t apply to third party sellers, or to other Amazon stores, such as Amazon UK. This is a bummer still because most Aussies who order blu-rays from Amazon do the bulk of their shopping from the UK store because of region coding.

  Midwives go on strike today promising “maximum disruption”.
  
  Meanwhile senior medical specialists are aghast at unqualified midwives’ enthusiasm for undertaking tongue tie surgery on newborn babies.
  
  Will any extra money they win bring the know-all midwives back down to earth, and curb their enthusiasm and over-confidence regarding this practice? They are not qualified surgeons or anaesthetists, and midwives’ brutal and barbaric mutilation of defenceless newborn babies just paints them as self-centred, arrogant and close minded. Their reactionary dismissal of expert medical advice in this matter smacks more of controlling the “politics” of childbirth, rather than concern for the welfare of the newborn babies.

    3-coil, this issue reflects 2 things (neither of which are being properly discussed by the media in their coverage of the isdue):
    
    1. How did NZ get into a situation where a group of people not trained in medicine other than delivering babies, come to be able to diagnose conditions & then perform surgical procedures on recently born babies without any form of professional control; and
    2. The use of this procedure seems to have arisen because not all babies successfully breast feed. The whole breast feeding issue is an over done campaign born out of global politics rather than good medical practices of what is right for each mother & child.
    
    The global politics to which I refer, was firstly the hatred of multi-nationals like Nestles providing milk powder as a milk substitute in developing African countries. Without it, mothers and new born infants would have died. The second campaign has been the feminists and their carry on about women & their bodies. The two campaigns came together as a health programme “Breast is Best”. On a personal note, I know of 5 babies who would have starved if this mantra had been followed. In all instances the mothers couldn’t produce milk & so bottle feeding was the only way. Not one of the babies were “tongue tied” & in one case the mother ended up with cracked, sore and bleeding breasts – symptoms of some of the mothers discussed in the media this week. I know this, because the cases referred to involved my wife/son, my mother-in-law and her sister and her children.
    
    IMO, the problem is the “Breast is Best” culture, & a lack of dealing with the health needs of each mother and their infant child. Get this right and problems that were once rare will also go away.

  Midwives are quite clear that they are vastly superior to Nurses although their knowledge of medicine is inferior to a Nurse.
  Midwives are not nurses any more as they used to be. Just Blackmailers.
  Remember when Gilliland made sure that the Clark Government took Midwifery away from Doctors.
  Which is why they want over $100,000 basic.
  Nurses are actually better trained in Medicine as many more have from a starting point a good University degree.

The Show Pony is baffled by her own Ministers incompetence When it comes taxes that she and her Government rushed through Parliament, two months ago it was this law that takes away letting fees and puts more money in renters pockets was a game changer for the PM and the Coalition now all the Show Pony can say is she hopes rents won’t rise after the company’s that were controlling letting fees told the owners they would now charge them for the fee. It is unbelievable that a PM running our great Country can’t understand that the owner of a business is and should not be the one taking a loss to house people in their properties it is the tenant that has to absorb the loss to cover the cost for them to live in the dwelling. If the inept Minister rushed a stupid law through Parliament and held discussions with Landlords and come to a reasonable solution on letting fees instead of try to be a dictator this could have seen a better outcome that maybe would have suited both sides.

  It’s literally al about appearances.
  
  When your clueless followers don’t understand pricing any more than your average fish n’ chip temp, this is what you get.
  
  The reality is that long-term tenants will likely pay more as the “letting fee” is rolled into first year rents and will likely endure into following years.

    If the law is structured so fees cannot be passed on then it will be included in rent.
    To distinguish one rental element from another would reveal the fees so the increased rent will continue for the duration of the tenancy.

Australia will not be signing up to the UN migration pact, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said, explaining he was was not willing to risk the government’s successes in fighting people trafficking.

“The compact would risk encouraging illegal entry and reverse Australia’s hard-won successes in combating the people smuggling trade,” he said in a joint statement with Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton and Foreign Minister Marise Payne.

“We believe that the compact is inconsistent with our well-established policies and not in Australia’s interests,” asserted the ministers, adding that the document “fails to adequately distinguish between people who enter Australia illegally and those who come to Australia the right way, particularly with respect to the provision of welfare and other benefits”.

While Ardern is sacrificing our border sovereignty in the hope of securing a UN role, Morrison is doing the right thing.

Ardern is a disgrace.

  So last night Cindy was promising money for a South Auckland hospital. Now I spent a lot of time visiting Christchurch hospital in recent years (Dad had cancer). The problem this country has is every x years they build a 6 story 50m wide extension to the hospital. These morons, and going by the plaques at the front are 75-80% Labour should have just built a 80m wide 25 story building 15-30, 40 years ago. You folks in the rest of the country would be staggered at how much they are wasting in Chch currently. If Clark had done that 14 years ago when things were cheaper instead of wasting money on railways, wff and students, this country would be so much richer.

    It is no coincidence that the adoption of ‘Open borders’ seems to be a worldwide phenomenom.
    All orchestrated by the ‘New World Order’ clan, instantiated by vassals like the UN. (EU example is classic)

  Actually, on reflection I’d like to revise my comment above.
  
  Relinquishing border sovereignty as part of ingratiating herself with the UN doesn’t make Ardern a disgrace.
  
  Appointed without a popular mandate, it makes her treasonous.

  It would seem that Scott Morrison has troubled the observant, the devout, the pious muslim.
  Are there “moderates” or is islam just islam.
  
  Australian Grand Mufti Ibrahim Abu Mohamed and a group of other senior Muslim figures rejected the invitation in an open letter to Morrison on Wednesday.
  
  The men said they were “deeply concerned and disappointed” with comments by Morrison and other ministers “which infer that the community is collectively culpable for the criminal actions of individuals and should be doing more to prevent such acts of violence”.
  
  “These statements have achieved nothing to address underlying issues, but rather, have alienated large segments of the Muslim community,” they said in the letter, which was published by Australian media.
  
  The letter prompted a tweetstorm from Morrison, who accused those behind the boycott of “continuing down a path of denial” and making their communities “less safe and more vulnerable”.
  
  “We all have responsibilities to make Australia safe, and that means making sure Muslim communities do not become infiltrated with this dangerous ideology,” he tweeted. https://www.dawn.com/news/1446967/australia-pm-muslim-leaders-spar-over-his-terror-comments

      Without “moderates” pious, observant, devout, the extremists would not get away with it and without “extremists” the moderates would not be supremacist, “the protected species” .
      
      The “moderates” being the ones wanting NO discussion by anyone, no debate, about Mohammad, about his guidance and sayings in the koran, supported by his actions, deeds and sayings in the hadith, and sunnah.
      
      As that may trouble just some of the followers of the “perfect man” Mohammad, who will feel pressured that they have to do something, like what Mohammad often did.
      The ones who strike are not really extremists, just followers feeling they are called out to follow all of Mohammad’s ways, as per koran, knowing of abrogating verses, hadith, and sunnah.

Couple of tweets that caught my eye.

First from Donald Trump
‘So-called comedian Michelle Wolf bombed so badly last year at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner that this year, for the first time in decades, they will have an author instead of a comedian. Good first step in comeback of a dying evening and tradition! Maybe I will go?’

Followed by a response from Michelle Wolf
‘I bet you’d be on my side if I had killed a journalist. #BeBest’

U.K. Quakers to Boycott Companies ‘Profiting From the Occupation’ of West Bank
Haaretz, Kislev 13, 5779

The Quakers of Britain announced that the religious movement will no longer invest in companies that “profit from the occupation” of the West Bank.

The Quakers, also known as the Society of Friends, said in their announcement Monday that the decision was made by the church’s trustees in consultation with Meeting for Sufferings – the national representative body of Quakers. It said the Quakers have a long history of “pursuing ethical investments,” noting that it has taken decisions not to invest in the fossil fuel industry, arms companies and South Africa under apartheid.

“Our long history of working for a just peace in Palestine and Israel has opened our eyes to the many injustices and violations of international law arising from the military occupation of Palestine by the Israeli government,” Paul Parker, recording clerk for the Quakers in Britain, said in the statement. “With the occupation now in its 51st year, and with no end in near sight, we believe we have a moral duty to state publicly that we will not invest in any company profiting from the occupation.”

He also wrote: “As Quakers, we seek to live out our faith through everyday actions, including the choices we make about where to put our money. We believe strongly in the power of legitimate, nonviolent, democratic tools such as morally responsible investment to realize positive change in the world. We want to make sure our money and energies are instead put into places which support our commitments to peace, equality and justice.”

The religious organization said its portfolio does not hold investments in any company working in the West Bank.

The Meeting for Sufferings also reaffirmed a 2011 decision to boycott goods produced in Israeli settlements.

    Yes, Jack, and Tony Bliar called himself a Christian. As did his partner in mass murder, George W. Bush. As did another mass murderer, William J. Clinton.
    
    The Quakers believe in social justice; Nixon did not—he was a rogue, or unrepresentative, Quaker. That doesn’t invalidate the rest of them.

      I suspect I know a little bit more about Quakers than you
      I spent Two and half years as a boarder at NZ Friends School and attended Quaker meeting in my teen/early 20s…. (Vietnam War days)..
      Nixon was born into a Quaker family and remained a Quaker until his death . He was never expelled from East Whittier Meeting.
      http://jfk.hood.edu/Collection/Weisberg%20Subject%20Index%20Files/N%20Disk/Nixon%20Richard%20M%20President%20Watergate%20Files/Religion/Item%2003.pdf
      There is no such thing as a representative Quaker.
      Their faith is between themselves and their God.
      Many Quakers have taken a Pacifist stance on Military matters and will refuse to bear arms.. but it’s not compulsory.
      Some Quakers have gone to war…their conscience guides their actions.
      
      Quakers do believe in and try to practice social justice, but as with any group of people, there are different views on how they go about this.

Yemen Genocide About Oil Control

https://www.globalresearch.ca/yemen-genocide-oil-control/5660415

This gives the missing background.
F. William Engdahl has a free-ranging inquiring mind. Hunt Oil is involved in Yemen.

    He has a much greater demonstrated range of opinions than appears to emanate from you.
    
    The issue of my post was the missing background revelation that
    about the active oil operation and exploration there. Huge prospects?
    
    Reading someone does not make anyone their advocate or disciple but only indicates willingness to consider other views. That latter willingness is sadly not tolerated in some “liberal” sections of society.

Scott Morrison refuses to sign United Nations migration pact

By Lane Calcutt • Political Reporter
9:44am Nov 21, 2018

Scott Morrison has refused to sign up to the United Nations migration pact, saying it would compromise Australia’s national interests and border security.

In a statement issued this morning, Mr Morrison said the government had already achieved the goals the deal set out.

And, he said, it failed to distinguish between illegal migrants, and those who arrived “the right way”.

Australia now joins the United States and others, in rejecting the UN pact.

“When we are asked to sign up to international agreements that we believe will compromise our successful way of doing things, we will pass,” Mr Morrison said in a joint statement with Home Affairs Minister, Peter Dutton, and Foreign Minister, Marise Payne.

“We believe that the compact is inconsistent with our well-established policies and not in Australia’s interests.

“We do not believe that adopting this agreement will add anything to enhancing our capacity to control our borders and manage our successful migration program.”

He said it was promoted as a way to ensure safe, orderly, and regular migration.

“We already achieve all of those goals,” the statement said.

“The compact fails to adequately distinguish between people who enter Australia illegally and those who come to Australia the right way, particularly with respect to the provision of welfare and other benefits.

“The compact would risk encouraging illegal entry and reverse Australia’s hard-won successes in combating the people smuggling trade.

“We will continue to make decisions in Australia’s best interests.”

  I favour immigration in some cases only: Where it’s legal. The UN pact removes the distinction between legal and illegal:
  
  “The Czech Republic has long favored the principle of separating legal and illegal migration,” Deputy Prime Minister Richard Brabec told a news conference.
  
  “That is what the Czech Republic’s and other European countries’ suggestions aimed for. The final text does not reflect those proposals.”

    Borders count! If a country can’t decide its own immigration policy it’s not a nation.
    
    Just as the Brussels bureaucrats have taken over and choked the EU, so the Third World bureaucrats have taken over the UN.
    
    Nothing seems to stand in the way of the bureaucrats’ power except the veto of the Security Council permanent members – the USA, France, Britain, China, and Russia.

? Gays, lesbians, trannies, now it’s “intersex”.

There have always been hermaphrodites, but this seems to broaden the classification. Apparently about one in 2000 babies born may have “confusing” genitalia, and this is often the subject of surgery. I make that 0.2 per cent. (Source, second link below).

An article in Stuff says the proportion is “just under 2 per cent”, or about 10 times the number.

The writer widens “intersex” definitions, and cites her own “Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome.”

She/He/Whatever says: “… which, not to be too technical about it, means that my body doesn’t quite respond to androgens like testosterone the same way it does for y’all.”

I say “She/He/Whatever” because the crazed liberal elite who have such a big voice in in our media will use the broadened “intersex” in their campaign to edit the third person singular pronouns “he,” “him”, “she,” and “her” out of the English language. They will try to replace them with something new or try to make us use the plural pronouns “They” and “them” for singular as well.

That would lead to rubbish like: “They was the Goddess of Wisdom.”

How will the PC mob get on with the hundreds of languages, including Spanish, Russian, French, German, Hindi, that have gender for all nouns –

Stuff talks intersex:

  Sex is chromosomal determined but hormones and biology can interfere in regular development. Male babies can fail: testes may not descend or even be formed.
  My youngest was operated on twice to check out undescended testicles and looking for testosterone producing tissue. Neither. Genetically he was typed as male and now he is receiving testosterone injections.
  ~~Intersex?~~ Regular male with a probable birth defect. He will be twelve in a weeks time.

      I think you’ll find that it’s a fundamental law of nature. For the species to survive, we need to reproduce. This process requires a male and a female of a certain maturity. Anything else is as unnatural as shagging a gumboot.

        Both of you are only half right: sex is the genetically determined characteristic, of which the phenotype (physical expression) may be less than totally definite; gender is the social construct; sexuality is the behavioural and psychological expression of gender.
        Having said this, I acknowledge that the terms are sometimes used loosely or interchangeably.

  That Russian woman is not intersex. She is female.
  
  She has all the girly bits. She doesn’t have any boy bits. However she just didn’t go through puberty so her girly bits didn’t develop.
  
  Thus, she’s a defective female, not intersex.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6410057/Tasmania-votes-sweeping-changes-transgender-rights.html

…Landmark gender rights laws have made it through Tasmania’s lower house which include parents having to ‘opt in’ to have a baby’s sex recorded on birth certificates.
The House of Assembly passed the legislation, which was proposed by Labor and the Greens, on Tuesday night thanks to a deciding vote by Liberal speaker Sue Hickey.
Other changes include individuals being allowed to change their gender from the age of 16 by simply filling out a statutory declaration, according to The Australian…

NB. Ties in with Jack5 post at 10.53 to a degree.

Scott Morrison is not too happy with this.
You have to actually ‘opt in’ to put a Gender on the Birth Cert.
Massive implications such as getting a drivers licence, passport, enrolling at a single sex school, going on school trips.
It is passed in the Lower house and has to be ratified/passed in the Upper house.

Crikey. The State has 500,000 people and Two houses of Parliament.
Federal Senators and House of Reps, Local councils etc. Who does the actual work?
Tasmania has a population a bit bigger than Wellington City or similar pop. to Newcastle, NSW.

If passed, in Tasi you can have two heads but no gender!

“INZ said last week that its findings were given to Sroubek to give him an opportunity to comment and provide his views on any possible decision.”

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12164449

W T F ??

Since when does a lying crim get the right to comment and provide his views on a minister’s decision?

What next?

Cop: “I’m going to arrest you sir, if that’s Ok with you and doesn’t put you out too much.”

Judge: “Off to the slammer for a year, unless you’d rather not go.”

IRD: “The marginal tax rate is 33% unless you think it should be less.”

I suppose all except the last are plausible.

        Manning also acted as a family spokesperson for the family of Kailesh Thanabalasingham, the secretary of the NZ Refugee Council, when Thanabalasingham was fatally burned in a mysterious fire at his home in Auckland.
        
        Later reports indicated that a man of the same name, same age, same ethnicity, had been earlier deported from Canada following a murderous ethnic gang war.
        
        At the time of the fire, Manning was described in the media as Thanabalasingham’s close friend. She was reported as describing him as an “excellent person and a real asset to the community.”

  ? More than two hours later and the rostered-on Stephie hasn’t come up with an equivalent case in a white country!
  
  Too much head banging and khat chewing has buggered this Stephie’s response time (or perhaps too much leering down at the mall).

NEW ZEALAND: Population growth from migration is continuing to decline but remained above 60,000 in the year to October | interest.co.nz

https://www.interest.co.nz/property/97012/population-growth-migration-continuing-decline-remained-above-60000-year-october

Population growth from migration hit its lowest annual level since 2015 but remains above 60,000 a year, according to Statistics NZ.

There was a net gain of 61,751 people from migration (long term arrivals minus long term departures) in the 12 months to October.

That was the lowest it has been in any 12 month period since September 2015, and a 12.7% decline compared to the 12 months to October last year.

That was caused by a 2.7% decline in the number of people arriving in this country long term and and an 8.9% increase in the number of people leaving long term. … read more via hyperlink above …

        In an Indian city of Dunedin’s size, imagine a doctor were charged with murdering a 16-year-old girl. If the doctor was an Indian, there would be no mention of his race in the local media. It would be assumed he was Indian. If he was white, or black, or a Chinese doctor, the Indian newspapers would of course report his race.

  This piece of Indian scum home invaded and murdered this 16 year old girl.
  Accused of murder = Venod Skantha
  On top of that Amber Rose’s mother was so cut up she committed suicide about 2 months after the murder.
  
  Two people living a normal life a year ago are now dead because of this filth.
  Watch the insanity plea come out now.
  Just take this piece of scum now and bury the critter alive in a quarry.
  They never give the women folk a chance.
  ——————
  In addition it looks like the body found yesterday on the Wairarapa coast was that of Sonam Shelar who has been missing for 5 days.
  She is/was Indian and married to an Indian bloke.
  She was pregnant and did not want to have a girl.
  The stupidity of Indians:
  They don’t want daughters so abort and now there is a mass imbalance of males v females in India.
  They are already rapey feckers to begin with.
  
  The deceased woman was phoning her mother multiple times a day.
  The mother says she thinks her daughter has been murdered.
  Police are looking for CCTV footage in the area where the deceased lived with hubby.
  I’ll put $1000 on it that it is the Indian husband who murdered her.
  I said last week on KB -you will see the NZ courts fill with Indian crime.

  On trial only last month
  Rohit Deepak Singh is on trial in the High Court at Auckland after pleading not guilty to murdering Ms Arishma Chand.
  The 24-year-old mother was found stabbed to death in her Manurewa home on 12 November last year.

  How about this one:-
  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5535253/Wife-flogged-100-times-public-adultery-India.html#comments
  Woman is flogged 100 times by her husband as punishment for adultery before collapsing unconscious in front of baying mob who sexually assault and try to rape her in India
  
  ——
  Indians have a disgusting society where woman are treated badly and female foetuses get aborted simply because they are female.

    Agree with most of what you say, particularly about Indian society, but it’s quite possible that she entered the water at Island Bay all by herself and was swept to where she was found by the Cook Straight currents.
    Let’s hear what the Coroner has to say before we com to any conclusions.

This is a sad story: Aussie girl gets her wish to be a flower girl before cancer claims her young life.

That Thursday was a dark day, a very dark day. It’s hard when a parent is told your child’s not going to live but to be able to get married the next day meant our hearts sang.

Paige had such excitement about us getting married. Every time we would see people she’d say ‘My mummy and daddy are getting married and I’m going to be a flower girl’.

This isn’t how we planned it, she couldn’t open her eyes, but we had her there and that’s the main thing … she got to feel and hear and sense the love she’s created.”

I feel sorry for parents who go through things like this. She went from healthy to “incurable” in 3 months.

    If this is a genuine question, the quick answer is that God does not will it, but permits it that our free will is respected (including the consequence of the fall) and to allow good to be drawn out of it (medical staff, family, friends etc). One cannot deny it’s hard sometimes to understand, let alone accept, but there is a great difference in what some consider difficult.

      If an omni style god exists then free will is impossible, You can only do what the god knew you would do all along. Also begs the question of why bad shit can’t happen in heaven or else there is no free will in heaven. The religiotards have been trying and failing for over two thousand years to come up with a valid answer to the question posed by Epicurus.
      
      “Is god willing to prevent evil, but not able? then is god impotent. Is god able, but not willing? then is god malevolent. Is god both able and willing? whence then is evil?”

From today’s weird files: Gender crusade ‘personal’ for Green O’Connor, as trans son lauds Speaker Sue Hickey’s ‘gutsy’ act

For Tasmanian politician Cassy O’Connor, changing the laws to give parents the choice of whether they list their child’s gender on a birth certificate is a personal crusade. … Ms O’Connor’s son Jasper Lees began transitioning from female to male about two years ago, at the age of 18. He’s been part of a group of advocates leading the charge to remove discrimination against transgender and gender diverse people from the state’s laws.

Now, for the first time, I’ve learned that discrimination apparently extends to transgender surgery procedures:

Mr Lees said transgender and gender diverse people should not have to have risky and expensive surgery to change gender. “Requiring someone to remove their uterus or reproductive organs when they actually don’t need to is sterilisation.”

There’s that sterilisation word! Mind you, there could be something to be said for saving your uterus and reproductive organs in case you change your mind later, and want to swap your penis for “girlie bits” again?

I see the bigger more burly policeman we have these days are having trouble fitting into their cars. Not surprised as I have wondered how they managed. surely there is a health and safety issue there.

Comment is made about donut eating and after going to the states you better believe it.

Had to wait a bit at Detroit airpoort so thought to have a coffee. Sat next to the Detroit Police Airport counter.
Two extremely large but short Dark coloured police women were on duty. Both could hardly walk, and sat there for the 45 minutes that I observed, just eating and looking at their phones. One was sat on a golf cart thingy so she could wizz off when needed. Unpleasant looking, fully loaded with gear. Wanted to take a pic but was worried they might come looking for me in their golf car. Old as I am I reckon I could outrun them on foot even with a suitcase to haul.

Apparently an unmarried mother who works in a Waikato takeaway shop has expressed an ambition to follow Jacinda into politics.

It could be that today’s fish & chip wrapper is tomorrow’s news.

  I’m worried that Jacinda will inspire a lot of South Auckland teenage girls to have a baby – at taxpayer expense. I mean, Clarke hardly set a good example with his YouTube clip boasting about “hundreds” of sexual conquests!

    You’re probably right Nostra though career breeding has long been a trait of the bludging class. IOW those who society least needs replicating themselves with gay abandon do & frequently.
    
    Yet fertility keeps dropping. We have five granddaughters & three grandsons between 28 & 17 all going hard at it like rabbits but no results to date.
    
    I don’t know what they’re doing wrong. All I had to do was take my pants off in front of the cook & bingo……she was pregnant! 🙂

  There’s a certain irony (not picked up in media commentary that I’ve seen) in how Michael Woodhouse managed the immigration portfolio:
  
  Immigration Minister Michael Woodhouse is taking steps to improve Immigration New Zealand’s decision making authority for cases involving residence class visa holders convicted of a criminal offence.
  
  Currently, Immigration NZ has the ability to make decisions on behalf of the Minister on deportation cases for some residence class visa holders convicted of a criminal offence.
  
  I have made my expectations very clear when it comes to deportation decisions involving offending of this nature and those expectations are not being met. So I am temporarily suspending Immigration NZ’s decision making authority until I have confidence that the decisions being made are consistent with my expectations.
  
  This course of action follows today’s New Zealand Herald article regarding an individual [Sultan Ali Abduri Ali Akbari] whose liability for deportation was suspended, despite the severity of the offending.
  
  Here, though, Immigration New Zealand officials did the right thing – and Ian Lees-Galloway was too busy stroking something (hopefully his beard and not something else) to read the file.

  In the real world, anyone contracting out a substantial contract or a critical element of a contract undertakes due diligence on tenderers, including financial due diligence. But that’s in the real world. Tits for hands goof and pugwash seem to be trying to outdo that big bag of piss and wind, porno jones.
