Mr Jones invests our money in stating a new mine on the West Coast

Does Jimmy Two Mums know about this?

  Jones has to because mine companies will not be stupid enough to risk their own money knowing this government is likely to close them down on a whim.
  
  Better to risk/waste taxpayers money.

    Is that the plan to mine garnet?
    
    Garnet? This is very common – you pick it up on riverbeds and on the shore, so it won’t be for gem value.
    
    Garnet is used in abrasives and water jet cutting, but the NZ demand would be modest. Is there a world export market for this common mineral?

      There’s got to be a market if the product is subsidised by our cash. I would dearly love to follow the money trail on this venture. Could well be worth an OIA at a later date.

  Labour and its lick-spittals are slow learners
  
  Yesterday the Prime Minister and Shane Jones took the Provincial Growth Fund gravy train to the West Coast, where they announced $140 million in taxpayer-funded handouts – including money for luxury spa facilities, a mining venture, a dairy business, and a premium train carriage for ‘high net-worth’ tourists.
  Once again Labour is looking after its friends. What Ayn Rand called “Looters” in her book Atlas Shrgged.
  It’s all been done before and it failed.
  In 1972/73, Kevin Meates, a Christchurch businessman and friend of then Labour Prime Minister Norman Kirk, established Matai Industries as a regional development initiative, believing that the government would provide subsidies and other support for the project. Two directors were appointed by the Government and one by the Opposition, the Opposition nominee being National MP Robert Muldoon. In November 1973 Matai Industries opened four factories on the West Coast producing woodware, metalware and plastics in Rūnanga, Greymouth Reefton and Westport. The Rūnanga Miners’ Hall was one venue given a new lease of life; interestingly Greymouth’s Regent Theatre and Reefton’s Criterion Theatre were other Matai Industries conversions.
  However, following a dispute about the actual nature of any government support, Matai Industries was placed into receivership in 1975.

    I’m no fan of Shane Jones or his ridiculous pork-barrel politics.
    
    But Ayn Rand was a lady who spent her life complaining about socialism before signing up for Social Security and Medicare in the years before her death.
    
    A philosopher who didn’t want to live according to the rules of her philosophy. There’s a word to describe that…

      Gump if Rand had not been forced to pay into social security you would have a point.
      Rand was right about “looters” and under this current appalling
      administration the economy is a happy hunting ground for “looters”
      From building train tracks to nowhere (Gisborne). Trains when there is no passengers (Winter Kaikoura) Winstons friends with pretty horses. Then there is kiwibuild.

      ? Occasionally I have to agree with Morrisey Breen.
      
      Ayn Rand, born Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum, mentally was totally unzipped. If she had stayed in Russia she could have become a leading Marxist theorist, steering the Soviets into a Red form of Scientology.
      
      Rand would have done even better in Communist China dreaming of, or even building, ghost cities that stand largely unused.

The motive the police concocted for the Lundy murders is absolute nonsense.

It was Christine who convinced Mark that to get the rootstock supplier/business partner’s invoices was okay and most of the GST went to help with this vendor and the operation generally. The land from 2 vendors was well priced, it was sold later for much more. 2000 was a great time to establish a vineyard in New Zealand, and accordingly the prospectus for investors was a thoroughly responsible document, but there is nothing unusual for people to hesitate, and they missed an opportunity. Most people prefer to control their own investments, and will hesitate where a sink salesman is driving it. Fair enough. Given the land was worth more at the time of the murders than the unconditional contracts represented, and Mark knew this, he had no reason to embark on the dumbest criminal act in New Zealand history (had he in fact been the murderer). And he went unconditional on the land against his better judgement because his lawyer was in rehab in Hanmer Springs, out of contact, with the rootstock supplier/ business partner pressuring him.

Then as has been pointed out, 40 is the time the thugs are tired of the mayhem and hopelessness of violence and failure, this is not the time a small business man will embark on this path particularly with no motive whatsoever.

He didn’t

What did happen is the rootstock supplier/business partner owed a lot of money, 700k when bankrupted later. Note above Christine gave him most of the GST, 60k, she received on the invoice basis from the IRD. Why did he need it and what did he do with it? These are the questions the police should have asked, and should still be asking. Is there not one curious cop out there who can see through this Lundy charade? New Zealand deserves such a brave man in our midst, a man prepared to speak out and do some sensible investigating.

As always, I have full proof and documentation for everything I post on Kiwiblog.

      When is PM Ardern going to sort out her useless Minister of Immigration, Iain Lees Galloway?
      
      Her fairy god-mother, Helen Clark, would have had Lees Galloway down the road well before now. But Clark (the former PM, not Gayford) had solid political instincts, not merely the naive aspirations of the International Union of Socialist Youth.
      
      When can our country expect to have a Leader with a solid background of occupational experience, growth and achievement? The present incumbent has shown that her youthful veneer is no substitute for having genuine leadership credentials.

  JJ, perhaps the bench dwellers were stunned that one of their own was affected, given they usually escape involvement. The real change however comes from parliament, and with 120 MPs statistically they or their families will not escape crime. As we have seen in the UK example, MPs are a gutless lot who are so easily silenced when Muslims threaten death or violence.

  “Usually when one of their own is affected the hammer comes down.”
  That would be highly improper and the DCJ would be most careful to not being influenced by the victim’s position and the victim would accept this too. However ‘the hammer would come down’ if the offence had something to do with the judge’s official duties.
  He was charged under s189(2) of Crimes Act, maximum 5 years jail but no ‘strike’ (because presumably there was no intent to cause the injuries, just reckless disregard). I would have thought that 6 months home detention would have been a more appropriate penalty. He is effectively banned from some overseas travel eg Australia or Canada.

According to the American media the Mueller investigation is in it’s final stages now they have written answers from the president.
Who believes that Mueller will find anything? Does anyone still believe that Trump is a manchurian candidate, a traitor to his country, that used Russian interference to swing the election away from Hillary Clinton?

CNN and other mainstream media will look pretty silly when they find no collusion after covering nothing else but Russia for 2 years.
I would like to say they will be embarrassed. But actually they don’t care about being truthful or accurate.
The only thing they care about is bringing down the duly elected president of the United States and making the world safe for liberal Democrats.

Phil Twyford, in housing and transport infrastructure, and Shane Jones, in forestry, have both issued such a plethora of statements and claims and named so many various agencies, that no one can really follow now what they are doing and ascertain any level of progress or success.

It may seem as simple as Shane Jones saying –
“This year we exceeded the planting goal, with over 60 million trees planted”
https://www.radionz.co.nz/news/political/377172/government-to-invest-118m-in-tree-planting

But forestry, “pre-Shane”, used to annually replant about 50 million trees.
Is Shane counting those in his total?
So 60 million less the usual “private” 50 million means Shane may have only planted about 10 million at the most?

Just as Phil Twyford is buying into developments that are not of Kiwibuild origin, is Shane Jones counting every new tree he sees as one of his own?

60 million trees extra should take up about 600 square kilometres – roughly cleared before planting.

48,000 hectares of forest planting is estimated for 2016, an increase of 3,052 hectares from 2015 plantings, and 2,658 hectares above the harvested area in the year to March 2016
https://www.nzfoa.org.nz/resources/publications/facts-and-figures

On the above figures, while 48,000 hectares were planted for 2016, they apparently whacked down 45,342 hectares.

So if Shane insists on stealing “private” numbers, he can surely take only about 3,000 hectares or roughly 3 million “private” trees.
And “re-plants” is the operative word (or words) – forestry re-plants just a few percent more than they chop down.

Would Shane be better as Minister of Immigration, where you seemingly need not be bothered by the facts?

    The only way Shane Jones and the Coalition will be able to plant a billion trees is to make the unemployable work for the dole and then they will struggle. Can anyone make a statement of any notable achievement that Shane Jones has implemented in his time as a MP apart from trying to rip off the taxpayer for his appetite for porn and not winning a seat in Parliament by being elected by the public.

      The unemployable working? Whether for the dole or something more. Have pity on the employers who have to deal with high maintenance ‘workers’. Management costs will skyrocket as supervision increases and paperwork and time – to performance manage, train, retrain, reretrain, fire, hire – goes through the roof.
      
      When I say ‘have to deal with’, well guess what. They will very politely decline and hire from the islands. Unless they are hiring rellies. In which case, if it costs more they will be hitting up Mr Jones for more money.

        He admitted in Parliament on Thursday that he has been unable to ‘get the nephs off the couch’ (his words) and that the tree planting scheme will be a part of the Pacific Islands aid programme in providing work for Melanesians. How does that equate with Peters’ promises to cut immigration on the one hand and slash unemployment in the regions on the other?

    It is a bit like my Amazon delivery, on the tracking it showed as delivered 3 days before it actually turned up in the delivery box. So in Shane’s mind the trees have been planted because he said so and wrote it down and ticked the box.

    Or, Southern Raider, there is this bit –
    The Provincial Growth Fund initiative will set aside $118 million for the planting and establishing of trees.
    Another $120m is being committed to research initiatives that help reduce the barriers to tree planting.
    
    It will be interesting to see what initiatives are found “in how to do something” that will cost more than what is spent “in actually doing it”.

    Are Shane’s trees all for future harvest or are non-forestry planting, such as the natives along the sides of motorways included when Shane tots up his tree numbers? After all, he counted the 2 or 3 he helped plant in a school’s grounds.

      Regardless of views on native trees, they are too slow growing to be worth planting for harvesting value.
      
      Pinus radiata timber is pretty much for the bottom of the market.
      
      Foresters are, or were, however, growing eucalyptus in Southland for chipping and use in high-grade papers.
      
      There must be lots of other tree types around the world that entrepreneurial folk could grow in NZ for higher returns than from radiata pine, which largely is exported in logs, with no value added. When milled in Asia, the timber mainly goes into low-value products such as crates for export goods.
      
      After planting, Melanesians will be brought back for pruning, then not too much later brought back permanently to provide cheap labour for felling and any milling.
      
      Temporary labour schemes of the Melanesian-NZ type almost always turn into permanent settlement, as with Mexicans in California and Turks in Germany.
      
      On the face of it the Melanesian temporary worker scheme looks to be a worthwhile form of foreign aid, but beware of any scheme that comes from UN bureaucrats, as this one does. Those guys want to erode national borders, especially those of Western countries.

MbS has left the capital Riyadh to head for the G20 summit in Argentina amid rumours members of the royal family are plotting to unseat him.

Soldiers and weapons have been redeployed from eastern and western Saudi Arabia to the capital as the Crown Prince to heads aboard.

Has anyone read this article by this anonymous left-wing editorial writer.? The writer plays down the proven assault by Fightery but believes the allegation of an unhappy staffer. The reality is that all political parties have staffers doing party work. This could be just a disgruntled staffer making this claim.

National has the same problem as the GOP in the US will a left-wing media.

Former staff accuse National MP Maggie Barry of bullying

National MP Maggie Barry has been twice investigated over bullying claims this year – including accusations she expected staff to do political party work on taxpayer time, which would be unlawful.

  They should try working around a factory or construction site for a couple of years and harden the fuck up.
  Workplaces ain’t playschool which it seems many of these limp wristed odd ball mummy’s boys seem to think it is.
  
  Imagine how they would have been on a Rothmans factory full of women. That was a tough place or a meat works.

Now that Wellington City Councils Mayor and his Conncillors have sadddled the Ratepayer with what is called as a living wage. Yes that was sometime ago yet services for some rate payers have taken a big hit, one Case in point. Out in the suburb of Tawa which once was a showpiece for top council services. Known as the Borough it was a great example for the then elected Councillors and local Mayor
Sadly since it was absorbed into Wellington City Council the services by the Council have become extremely tatty.
Must be something in the water . Tawa boasts of 6 reps voted in as a group known as the Community Board, plus 3 elected Councillors as well as a Deputy Maori Mayor. All paid very well by the long suffering ratepayer.
Yet for some reason or other no one seems to be in charge of at least cutting the grass or giving a directive to the new ratepayer funded pay scale .called a living wage.
Seems grass berms near Tawa College and the Ratepayer Car Park beside New World is daily left in a complete scruffy unkempt third world eyesore. Maybe it is time the overpaid fat cats from Wellington City Council got off their mean spirited arses and at least made an attempt to earn their money for doing some type of Tawa Ratepayer Service rather than forever getting paid for doing nothing.

As a former tax accountant Ive been trying to decipher Cullen the C…. (CC) comments about having found a way to introduce heritance or death duties.
The family home will be deemed to have been sold when it passes from Mum and Dad to the kids or whoever no matter the vehicle it is held in a Trust or Company.
Tax will be due at the entities rate.

In the case of Retirement Villages when the oldies snuff it the village operator will pay tax on the Licence to Occupy price increase.

Imagine the tax from just that source as the average LTO is 5 to 7 years. So the operators will recover the tax either upfront or load it onto the next LTO.

And forget Simon. The amount of tax will be so great and so easy to collect that no future government will repeal it.

From a tax point of view its a winner. it has all the elements. Relative certainty as demographers can tell the government how many people will die that the tax will impact. No downside as losses wont be allowed. Estimates on real estate prices will determine the likely tax haul each year and also longer term.

  Death duties (40% in Japan) can be expected to be levied on the family house every generation, say 28 years.
  Death duties can be expected to be levied on a retirement village unit every several years, when the occupants pass on. What a wonderful money-maker for the State.
  
  How can families accumulate wealth to pay for their members’ health, housing and education when the State is creaming the top off every generation?

    Death duties, or estate duties, are an efficient and effective method of tax collection from the State’s point of view.
    
    With a once-only collect, and typically inheritors of the residue of the estate keen to get their share and unlikely to fight too hard, death duties are cheap to administer compared with income tax and GST.
    
    Ideally you could abolish income tax and just rely on death duties. They are hard on family businesses, such as farms, but that could be overcome by giving the estate a year or two to settle the bill.
    
    The retirement village units, presumably those in NZ, as mentioned by Odakyu-sen, usually are not owned by the people who go into them. The occupants buy a right to occupy, and the cost of buying the right, less a discount, is returned (presumably usually to the children) when the unit is vacated.
    
    The retirement village firms’ customers effectively lend the capital, interest free, to buy the land and build the village, and all capital gain from the value of the village, goes to the firms. Usually these are on big, attractive sites that are bound to become more valuable.
    
    I bet retirement village developers and owners would back any campaign against capital gains tax, which would fall on them.
    
    It’s the total tax take that counts.

  But warning: the article will drive you mad with “There is an obvious replacement for transaction taxes: higher annual levies on property values or, ideally, on land values. Such taxes target wealth, and can be just as progressive as stamp duty, but they do not distort markets much.”

    This is why I’m currently not a National voter. It’s almost like they are in cahoots. Labour set the agenda, National make it work (sort of). My recollection is that John Key implemented more Labour policies than he did his own.
    Why do National attack the implementation but concede the principle? To me, it appears they are just as keen on socialism.

      To be fair, it’s just an Economist article waffling about the joys of ‘land tax’, not National policy. But we need to push National hard to assure us: repeal any CoL property taxes and don’t introduce any new ones. We pay plenty of rates and income taxes, including income taxes from property.

    All the novice taxes.
    We have had them all before. They have been systematically removed by many past governments.
    We finally got a practical system now and the commies want to wreck it. It has the flexibility to adapt as needed.
    
    What we have is good. PAYE, GST, witholding taxes and excise duties provide a large part of the revenue. They are inescapable, cheap to collect and all provided out of immediate cash flows. Taxes on corporates are reasonable with shareholders getting credits. The IRD also watches carefully for company profits being sheltered.
    
    The negative income tax we have is reasonable too. It, WFF, replaces the former tax rebates for dependents and the Family Benefit. Everyone is taxed on personal income the same and a two weekly rebate is paid by IRD or its agency like a negative PAYE to allow for different family obligations. It is not to subsidise employers. This has eased PAYE administration and taken a burden off employers. It has its own phased abatement scheme to avoid sudden cuttoff.
    
    Accommodation supplement is more political than a tax matter. It is paid by the tax agency as a subsidy–they are largely dealing with the same population. This subsidy is intended to deal with the injustice of people who are in work and on lower incomes not having the special lower rents of those in social provided housing whose income is similar. An abatement scheme operates too.
    
    The changes being targeted seem to be principally envy motivated by a COLL determined, without mandate, to bring about state ownership and control in NZ.

    Explain how my reasoning is faulty. Governments van introduce Deemed Sales even when there isn’t one. Think the current FDR on foreign shares.
    
    No cash dividend yet that doesn’t stop government collecting a tax.
    
    And to answer others Yes it will result in the home being sold in order to pay the tax and that’s part of the beauty of CC proposal. It will result in family homes having to be sold by the estates beneficiaries therefore freeing up more houses for sale.
    
    Note I am an absolute opponent of CGT having worked in regimes where it operates and seen the perverse outcomes and avoidance and even evasion.
    
    CGT is a distortion of the market place and will result in bad outcomes for hard working taxpayers.
    
    But CC wants to transfer wealth and this is a good way to do it across a generation. Baby Boomers estates will be taxed on the family home the bach and every other asset EXCEPT collectibles which the TWG as rules out as too hard.
    
    So get into art jewelry classic cars as these wont be taxed when past on to your heirs. Everything else will be taxed.
    
    And no losses allowed. CC has already ruled on losses being claimed. This is a one way tax CC’s way.

  It has no certainty of collection: there is no cash asset. In many cases that will cause the house to be sold. Not everyone can or should borrow the amount required.
  
  Also, what about inflation? That varies year to year and between markets. The CPI is not relevant. The inflation in house prices is not the same throughout NZ either. The effect of a forced sale will be to rob a family of cash that has may have to replace accommodation in the current market and quickly. No equitable CGT is possible. Feelingz.

It’s now clear why the latest series of Dr Who is a steaming pile of politically correct moralizing, like watching a bunch of snowflake sermons full of cod juvenile philosophy:

“In July 2018, it was announced that the writing team for the eleventh series would include people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds for the first time in the programme’s history, including two women and three men contributing as guest writers, while the series as a whole would feature an equal split between female and male directors. All but one of the editors for the eleventh series would be women. Chibnall and Strevens stated that it was a priority to have a diverse production team.”

  Agree and I think the critics are choosing the wrong target.
  
  Many are saying the new series sucks because of having a female doctor. I disagree and think as a character she is actually quite good.
  
  It sucks because the stories are shit and we don’t need a sci fi show giving us a history lesson on minority right struggles.

  And it looks like the actress and the writer may be leaving next year according to rumors…
  
  New Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker and the series’ showrunner Chris Chibnall are rumoured to be quitting the show next year.
  
  A report in the long-running science-fiction magazine Starburst says that Chibnall is dissatisfied with the way the show is being run behind-the-scenes by the BBC. Whittaker, who previously worked with Chibnall on the hit ITV drama Broadchurch, is said to be leaving the show in sympathy for her friend and colleague.
  
  The story claims that the pair will leave after a second season together next year, which, due to their disagreements with BBC bosses, is likely to consist of only six episodes. This compares to the current season’s run of 10 episodes.

  Good writers of any race or gender should be focused on creating great stories and characters, not on lecturing the world!

  I have been a lifelong Dr Who fan.
  I have no problem with a female Doctor.
  My issue is that the series has gone from cool Sci Fi adventure to virtuous lecturing every episode.
  The whole show is one big SJW/Leftie hug fest..
  I turned off and never watched again after the episode where Capaldi’s Doctor proudly told his Transgender/Lesbian/Whatever she was companion ‘Jesus was a black man’…

  The police have a secret back door to the internet that they use to delete or change comments they don’t like. Any rational study of the evidence will conclusively show this. Don’t be one of the lazy and unthinking masses who just lap up whatever the police/media conspiracy feed them.

  Southern Raider, maybe Kiwiblog’s wise monarch (yo, King D!) has wised up that Notsofast is simply turning everyone else off with his zeal.
  
  Being hammered day after day after day after day with a particular point of view – much like the late Penny did and the still-with-us Hugh does – simply inspires apathy amongst the majority of folk who are not so single-issue-focussed.

So when is the coalition going to come clean regarding its intentions towards the UN Compact on Migration which opens for signature on 10 December? This globalist tool abolishes the concept of illegal migration and commits governments to provide anyone who breaches their borders with virtually all the benefits of citizenship. While “non-binding” it will be interpreted by activist judges, of whom we have more than a few, to make new law on immigration. Open slather for boat people. Read here for yourself:
https://refugeesmigrants.un.org/migration-compact
This issue has been kept deliberately quiet by the media and no doubt Comrade Cindy is hoping she can further burnish her UN credentials at our expense without anyone objecting. Let’s stop this!

    We need to raise awareness of the issue about which there has been no coverage in the media (which is extraordinary in itself). We can start by getting the issue out there on social media as widely as we can. The only possible impediment to the coalition signing this appalling document is Winston Peters who as FM will also be the one who has to endorse it. We need to target him and NZ First with a firm expression of opposition over the coming week.

      Chris Lynch and Bruce Russell have mentioned the Migration Compact on air several times. Bruce has covered the Compact extensively, but sadly late at night to a select group of informed contributors to his show. Bruce is of the opinion that it is a done deal. He is horrified.
      
      I would strongly encourage those of you who take this issue seriously to respectfully approach, in person, where possible, your elected MPs for clarification.

Hanukkah is upon us. So to all non haters of my Jewish friends, “Happy Hanukkah.”

And with that said, for the benefit of the few pro-Muslims and anti-Jewish folk here, a story about a grizzled elderly central-European Jew.

It seems that he spent a large sum each week to purchase a copy of the most virulent anti- Jewish publication available.

As he read, while sitting on the front steps to his house, he frequently muttered: “Wow, gosh, really, marvellous, wonderful” and the like. Puzzled, his friends asked: “Why do you spend so much to buy and read that rubbish?”

Well, he replied: “If I didn’t read it I would never know how powerful I am.”

Have a Happy Hanukkah ! 🙂

So, I missed the news last night (was working so I don’t know if it was mentioned) but on NewsTalkZB this morning they were talking about the new reduction in GP fees to those “less well off” with community service cards, but that the doctors would make it up by charging everyone else more? Those that they consider could afford it. Isn’t this blatant Socialism? – ps, this wasn’t an opinion piece. This was the news headlines.

  Found it. It seems to come from a statement made by Michael Woodhouse –
  
  Hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders could end up being charged more for GP visits after the botched the rollout of Labour’s election policy to make GP visits cheaper, National’s Health spokesperson Michael Woodhouse says.
  
  “Labour’s GP policy has been a mess from the start. It was rushed out in response to National’s pledge, meant to be rolled out by July and meant to make GP visits cheaper.
  
  “But for the hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders who don’t have a Community Services Card, doctors’ visits could actually be more expensive from tomorrow. This is in marked contrast to the promise made during the election campaign that all New Zealanders would see a reduction in GP fees.
  
  “That’s because the government funding for doctors’ visits for adults with a Community Services Card is capped at well below the cost to some practices of these visits. So to make up for the shortfall, these practices have been told by the Government that they should increase the consultation fee for patients without a Community Services card.
  
  “It is unacceptable that middle New Zealanders, who are already struggling as a result of this Government’s poor policies which are driving up the cost of living, will be subsidising the Government’s botched GP policy.
  
  “The rollout of this policy has been questionable at best. GPs were forced to opt in or out of the provision of the cheaper visits with little time to think through the consequences and impact on their practices and patients and whether or not they could cope financially. If practices decided not to opt in they would lose all funding for the free under-13 GP visits.
  
  “A number of GPs are now worried about their ability to perform a duty of care to their patients due to the fact that they have no idea how this policy will increase their patient numbers.
  
  “The Minister needs to assure New Zealanders that those without Community Services Cards will not be paying more to subsidise the policy and that practices will not be facing an unfair burden.”

    I listened to news of the reduction in doctors’ fees for community card carriers. It was said they would come down to twenty dollars per visit.
    Currently I pay eighteen dollars at the 3 King’s A &E Clinic, which is fine with me.
    I know some people pay an awful lot more than that, but what do you get? A doctor with a flasher car?

  Yes last night I was sitting in traffic after 6PM and flicked on Radiolive and one story from the BBC was about how evil it was that Donald Trump had a real job before he became President and he is guilty of looking into building an apartment skyscraper in Moscow. The other story was how delightful it is that more people are going to the doctor for cheaper. I thought WTF is going pay for that next recession? Then I turned it off in disgust, they’re as bad as One News.

        It is nothing to do with the meaning of the word, stephieboy.
        
        It is a point of Grammar in English that Subject Nouns and their verbs show agreement in NUMBER.
        
        So a singular noun has the verb in the singular form, and plural nouns in the plural verb form.
        
        Your sentence should have read:
        Manolo, your qualifications belie the fact……
        
        P.S. In the 5 years that I have been reading KB I have never known Manolo to make a mistake in grammar or spelling. English is not Manolo’s mother tongue and may not even be his 2nd or 3rd language.

My daughter has been flatting for a few years while she is at Uni
All good relations with the landlord, all inspections big thumbs up etc.
BUT…
The landlord wants to add an en-suite, the tenants are being kicked out for a few weeks, so far not great but they can cope with a little give and take… however the kicker is she DEMANDS they continue to pay rent or she will kick them out permanently.

I find this sort of shit to be outrageous and an obscene abuse of natural justice.

If the landlord gets away with this then I am a supporter of a law review that would allow such bullshit.

  Not sure the Landlord can do that.
  Call Tenancy Services for advice.

    Advice from Tenancy Services can be, and often is, variable depending on who is on the other end of the phone. And it is not definitive anyway unless they can point to specifics in the Residential Tenancies Act.

  Sounds so strange there may be more to this story. Common enough in some locations esp Dunedin for rent to continue over the long vacation to retain a tenancy even while tenants are away. But being told to move out and pay rent is a whole different thing.
  
  Tenants might be completely in the right, but the landlord is the person who decides whether to renew or continue a tenancy. Might be cheaper to pay the rent.
  
  Landlords can ask for what they like, but if it involves a change to the tenancy agreement both parties have to agree.
  
  Suggest the tenants check the Tenancy Tribunal database to see if the landlord is recorded there, and if so for what. Might be a pattern.
  
  Tenants should make sure they get everything in writing to / from the landlord in preparation for as application to the Tenancy Tribunal. May not be needed but best to be prepared. One big advantage for tenants is that if they go to the TT and landlord then gives notice to them they can ask the TT to declare the notice retaliatory and set it aside. They don’t actually have to make a TT application but it is the simplest route, and cheap.

Sorry for the long link.

I have to admit. I have mixed feelings that will power is actually not a limited resource. It means one can have no excuse for failed exercise of will power.

Subliminal social priming is false.
‘The banality of evil’ is false.
Happy posturing doesn’t make you feel happy
Subconscious bias is false.

Science is an absolute joke. How anyone can seriously posit that it should be a barometer for truth when it’s less valid then eye witness testimony is beyond me.

I also never want to be told there is no evidence for God anymore – because there is unless you do a Jordan Peterson and say only ‘scientific’ evidence matters, and even if it did, it would be no better then a coin flip.

Also National better bloody come out against the UN Global Compact. Why is that even debatable? It’s a rort to impose global socialism by reducing the wealth of nations over time to the lowest common denominator and destroying white nations in particular by makimg everyone brown. Nothing wrong with choosing to so that. Being forced to do it is what infuses an enthusiasm for synchronised marching unfortunately. Don’t coerce people.

Happy Hannukah indeed – and who could have imagined the creation if white zionism?

  Any study of humanity is corrupted by political correctness and ideology. Clear evidence is denied on the basis that reporting it is unethical. You can’t trust anything that talks about race, or gender, for example.
  
  As for God, well Jordan Peterson is a believer for a start, so bad example.
  
  The default position is no belief in God and it is up to the believer to prove otherwise. Just as you are an atheist about the tooth fairy and unicorns, sane people do not accept the ramblings of an ignorant desert cult from the bronze age, which based their fables on even older myths.

Another day and another accusation of bullying.
Well I suppose if it wasn’t that it would have been accusations of sexual harassment or racism or whatever else in fashion.
This country has become a nation of crybabies and wimps who react to the slightest thing and then expect everyone to give them a cuddle.
Firm management is now bullying and saying a chick has a fat arse is now sexual harassment where if the same comment was made about the size of a guys stomach it would be perfectly acceptable and probably even laughed about.
Saying someone with body odour should have a wash will constitute harassment shortly amongst the delicate in this country.

Sydney’s biggest real estate bargains: homes at discounts of up to $1 million … News com au

Homeowners who spent months trying to sell their properties without luck are offering discounts of more than $500k just to get rid of them. These are the homes with the biggest discounts.

AIDAN DEVINE

Sydney’s cooling real estate market is delivering buyers hefty discounts that would have been hard to believe even six months ago.

A string of properties across the northern beaches, eastern suburbs and north shore are currently listed at up to $1 million below their original prices after languishing on the market unsold for months.

The deals have followed an 8 per cent drop in Sydney’s median home price over the past year and a 17.4 per cent lift in the number of homes listed for sale.

Compounding this, Sydney’s existing pipeline of new housing projects is forecast to increase the current supply of housing by 9.5 per cent over the next two years.

And it’s all at a time when buyer demand is falling as purchasers struggle to get financing from increasingly cagey lenders. … read more via hyperlink above …

  They openly admit it, as does Facebook and others. They also employ alt-left activists like Snopes to censor search results and spread fake news.
  
  They of course claim they are fighting fake news and fact checking. Trouble is the evidence contradicts that – as do numerous employees of Google who have spoken out.

“And those soldiers, those snipers, those assassins… if every one of them were killed, I would not shed a tear!”

Both parents of renowned scholar and human rights activist Norman Finkelstein were survivors of the Warsaw Ghetto, Majdanek, and Auschwitz. Not surprisingly, he does not like concentration camp guards.

“The protests have been overwhelmingly non-violent… but even if they were violent, I would say to the people of Gaza: God bless you, I hope you break through that fence! And those soldiers, those snipers, those assassins… if every one of them were killed, I would not shed a tear!”

  This crowd “admire” genocide and see it as simply a valid expression of the people. They say so all the time, followed by a flurry of upticks.
  
  This is typical of zionists. They are the lowest expression of the human condition. Vile lying malicious types.

    It’s not Zionists that are the problem, it’s supporters of the Israeli state’s crimes. I’m a Zionist, in the sense that I fully embrace Jewish literature, Jewish culture, Jewish food, Jewish humour, Jewish discourse. Noam Chomsky describes himself as a Zionist too.
    
    But he is not a supporter of the aggressive and violent perversion of Zionism that models itself on European colonialism. And neither am I.
    
    Question No. 10: Who are the main enemies of Israel?
    GIDEON LEVY: Those who support the occupation, who keep it strong, and who pay for it. Of course I’m talking about the United States here. The U.S. could stop this masquerade in a matter of months. The U.S. routinely condemns the illegal settlements and scolds Israel, but it does nothing. The European Union: nothing but lip service. India, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E.—they all buy Israeli weapons.

      Morrie, well using your definition I am a zionist – but that is not the meaning of zionism. I used to be a zionist myself btw, until I woke up.

        No, Mr Czech—or should I call you Karel?—you are NOT a Zionist. Noam Chomsky certainly is.
        
        Zionism used to be a cultural movement. The dismal fact that the term has been misappropriated by hardline fanatics, people of a mischievous and genocidal cast of mind, does not invalidate the more thoughtful, humane and decent people who are real Zionists.

    If this crowd admired genocide, any pro-Palestinian comment would be flooded with up-ticks.
    
    Truth is though, naziczech, that the Palestinians would like to kill all Israelis, but lack the power to do so.
    
    The Israelis, on the other hand, could wipe out the Palestinians any time, but they have no desire to do so.

    That is why they slaughtered the British who were trying to help them in the King David Hotel bombing. (Tried to blame Muslims)
    
    Then butchered the US servicemen on the USS Liberty (Tried to blame Muslims).
    
    And planned a series of bombing attacks all around (Lavon affair) the world in Western countries, but were caught out. (Intended to blame the Muslims).
    
    And that is how they treat those gentiles who help them!

Soros, modern-day Satan:
https://newspunch.com/george-soros-i-am-a-god-i-created-everything/

George Soros claims he is a god and “the creator of everything,” however the billionaire globalist also warns he is a “self-centred” god who believes “normal rules do not apply” to him.

“I fancied myself as some kind of god …” he wrote. “If truth be known, I carried some rather potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood, which I felt I had to control, otherwise they might get me in trouble.“

When asked by Britain’s Independent newspaper to elaborate on that statement, Soros doubled down: “It is a sort of disease when you consider yourself some kind of god, the creator of everything, but I feel comfortable about it now since I began to live it out.“

    Do you think Casa Pound gets 10s of thousands to rallies because ‘no reason’? I always admire how it’s for no reason. No reason. Nothing ever happens for reasons.
    
    Women and children turn up to Casa Pound rallies because Soros and like minded people tikkuning the olam were and are funding the Mafia and Ndrangheta and perverting charities to people smuggle into Italy to the point where what was left of the non black market system was breaking down. They couldn’t walk the streets safely anymore. Spend some time in Napoli. You will learn.
    
    Soros is incredibly evil and everything he believes is evil. He was a Nazi collaborator and his father was a Capo if that makes you feel better. One of the few non-vices of Netanyahu is his dislike of Soros.
    
    There needs to be a new expression of opposition to Soros’ evil. But its going to be his fault and yours when old and discredited failed forms of it reignite in places.
    
    This is needlessly provocative but you’re very aggravating. If political expressions aren’t censored they will be ignored. Instead, when censors censor what they censor has to be promoted. So have a tribute video that is deleted over and over to a failed man, whose ideas are being made relevant again by people like you, the secret Kings who censor.

I see that the leftie media are upset again, and about blackface again, because the Dutch are going to hold a celebration of their culture in Rotorua next weekend which includes the iconic Dutch character ‘Black Peter’ who appears around Christmas time.

https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2018/11/black-pete-the-controversial-dutch-character-to-appear-at-rotorua-market.html

One commenter (who happens to be an islander) quoted Booker T Washington under the story on Facebook –

“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs – partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.” ~ Booker T. Washington

Of course, it’s not black people complaining this time. It is pakeha “white knighting” for them.

    ps, it was only later on in life I found out that Engelbert Humperdinck was actually the name of an historical German 19th century composer and that the 1960s singer (born Arnold George Dorsey) borrowed the name to further his career.

GROPERS
No. 54: Marcelo Vanzuita

An athlete who pushed himself to the limits on extreme runs went too far with a sex worker, ignoring the safe words they had set. They agreed that “red” meant “stop straight away” and “yellow” meant “I need a break”, after he had lightly squeezed her throat for the first time.

The code Marcelo Luis Vanzuita, 47, and the woman agreed had worked until August 17, 2017. In text messages leading up to their meeting that day, she had talked about being punished, and discipline in a sexual context was part of her work previously.

But Vanzuita grabbed her by the throat with both hands, held her against a wardrobe and she felt dizzy and short of breath, Judge Peter Hobbs said in the Wellington District Court on Friday.

She said “red”, and told him to stop, but Vanzuita continued, holding a hand around her throat and applying pressure periodically while he had sex with her…..

The victim, 28, said in court that the incident had left her feeling anxious and had given her vivid nightmares.

A probation officer’s report noted that Vanzuita had a sense of ‘entitlement’.

Judge Hobbs also noted that the boundaries had not been respected.

‘The application of the force to the victim’s throat occurred in circumstances that were indecent,’ he noted.

Marcelo Vanzuita is known for competing in high-endurance sports competitions such as the 700km Ultra Yukon race in sub zero conditions.

  Morrie, Marcelo Vanzuita sounds like a lefty. Unusual then that he was choking out an adult hooker, rather than a drugged child of the same gender. Which is the norm at lefty gatherings it seems.

The second one of these in NZ I’ve seen today alone (the other was for an Indian ‘upskirter’ who was caught red-handed but discharged without conviction due to the implications a conviction could have on his immigration status):

https://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/canterbury-top-stories/109017437/immigrants-assault-conviction-quashed-by-high-court-over-deportation-worries

So do we now have one law for citizens and one rule for immigrants?

This is wrong.

You come here you’d better keep your bloody nose clean or you might find yourself booted out – what’s wrong with that?

RIP George H. W. Bush

George Herbert Walker Bush, America’s 41st president, has died. He was 94.

Bush died at 10.40pm CT on Friday, his office confirmed in a statement.

Bush was a steadfast force on the international stage for decades, from his stint as an envoy to Beijing to his eight years as vice president and his one term as commander in chief from 1989 to 1993.

The last veteran of World War II to serve as president, Bush came to be seen as a consummate public servant and a statesman who helped guide the nation and the world out of the U.S.-Soviet Cold War that had carried the threat of nuclear annihilation.

Climate Alarmist Neil de Grasse Tyson in trouble

‘Cosmos host Neil deGrasse Tyson is under investigation by Fox, National Geographic and the producers of his scientific docuseries following new allegations of sexual misconduct, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Two women came forward with claims of inappropriate sexual advances in a story in Patheos on Thursday. In 2014 a first accuser, a former classmate of deGrasse Tyson’s at the University of Texas in Austin, accused him of rape in a blog post.’

    Yes that is my theory. Essentially they have a very grim view of their fellow man and believe they must be controlled with force (by them), or else terrible things will happen.
    
    The problem is they are projecting their own twisted proclivities onto others and assuming others think like them.
    
    Once they have power there is a toxic combination of depravity/power/contempt for others. This never goes well.

Government won’t commit to pulling out of controversial UN migration agreement
1 hour ago
Jamie Ensor

“Its adoption ceremony is expected to take place on December 10-11 in Marrakesh, Morocco.
Although that ceremony is less than two weeks away, whether New Zealand will support the pact is unknown, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) telling Newshub on Tuesday the Government is currently considering its position and will make a final decision before the adoption ceremony.”

“It is paramount that New Zealand, a responsible international citizen, be part of the cooperative solutions initiated by the Compact,” Green Foreign Affairs spokesperson Golriz Ghahraman told Newshub.”

“The alternative is the violent and shameful approach displayed right now by the US” Ghahraman

“National, on the other hand, is concerned by the Compact, saying policies around migration are the “sole competence of the country concerned”.
National’s Foreign Affairs spokesperson Todd McClay told Newshub he would be concerned “by any move that gives the UN more authority or influence over our domestic refugee and migration settings”.
“Whilst well intentioned, the UN Migration Compact is likely to have unintended consequences for New Zealand,” said Mr McClay.”

Fucking Weak National!!!

Where is Bridges CONDEMNING this shit Key left us with?

How is the NZ Human Rights Commission’s attempt to use the UN to create the offence of “disharmonious speech targeted at the religion and beliefs of ethnic minority communities” with particular reference to “Muslim New Zealanders” going Simon?

The UN NZHRC ‘submission’ occurred under a National govt.

Simon Bridges is chillingly silent.

    Well that role is already filled by Ardern who has been compared to Trump in the international media for her fanatical hatred of Asians.

        To make my point. It’s about time Pollies like McClay were more direct about some of the BS morons in the Green Party say.
        He could have said, “Comments by Ghahraman just confirm the naivety and ignorance that the Greens spout about US policy which might be good for their base support but is not actually true. This Immigration policy is bad for NZ.”

  The final draft dated 11 July 2018 states at paragraph 4:
  
  Refugees and migrants are entitled to the same universal human rights and fundamental freedoms, which must be respected, protected and fulfilled at all times. However, migrants and refugees are distinct groups governed by separate legal frameworks. Only refugees are entitled to the specific international protection as defined by international refugee law. This Global Compact refers to migrants and presents a cooperative framework addressing migration in all its dimensions.
  
  And the article that Rodney Randall linked to states:
  
  A similar compact focussed on refugees is also in development.

    In the US, once you step foot on US soil you enjoy the protection of the Constitution.
    This document means that you don’t have to reach any Nations soil.
    You have rights immediately. In fact it looks like rights more that the legal citizens enjoy- just by declaring you are a refugee or immigrant.
    It defeats Sovereignty.

      And they WILL be backed by the addition of disharmonious (hate) speech laws protecting minority religions i.e
      Islam from criticism – as per the NZHRC’s ‘submission’ to the UNHRC requesting explorative expansions to section 61, all of this done under a NATIONAL GOVT!
      
      I recall, not that long ago, Hazim Arafey (President of the New Zealand Federation of Islamic Associations’) requesting that Stefan Molyneux and Lauren Southern be BANNED from entering New Zealand.
      
      His words: “She abuses her right of freedom of speech. She’s just going to give a talk in which she’s just going to insult all of us” and “I don’t think insulting Muslims comes under free speech, that’s an abuse of freedom of speech.”

      The real point is that all countries should be able to pick and choose who they let in. It is a basic sovereign right. So is the right to be racist about it all. I don’t care.

So I’ve had a little more in depth look at the migration compact. This is a longer post. Bear with me.

How Labour voters who were anti immigration could support this is beyond me. And NZ First voters?! Why National are not using an opportunity to take swing votes is beyond me. You don’t even have to deal with the migrant issue? How about pure national sovereignty? The potential for Iwi/kiwi dichotomies is immense. Winston and our idiot PM said many things on immigration. Why are National not exploiting it? Go around the media until they have to report on it.

Clause 11 says, paraphrasing ‘because illegal immigration is going to happen anyway we need to facilitate it’. As Stefan Molyneux points out, that logic only applies to illegal immigration. Not guns for example. Or free speech. Or free enterprise. Or sex trafficking. Imagine applying that logic to rape. Rapes are going to happen anyway so we need to facilitate rape and cooperate with rapists at the points of departure, transit, and settlement.

Clause 12 says ‘countries are being transformed forever’ as if it has nothing to do with deliberate policy decisions. It’s just a fait accompli a priori.

Cl 13 “migration should never be an act of desperation” – why? It should be ‘consensual’ lol. They do that Jordan Peterson Crowleyian redefining of words. Its consensual if coerced.

Cl 14: allows for national sovereignty before the total carve outs.

CL 15: the Compact is an anti discrimination Trojan Horse. “We reaffirm the commitment to oppose all forms if discrimination against migrants”- If you oppose anything migrants want like genital mutilation etc that’s an offence at international law.

There are 23 objectives which are a total wishlist. They simply dissolve any difference between citizen and illegal alien. Just a few examples “facilitate mutual recognition of skills” – because the University of Swahili is the same as Otago. “Provide full access to services” – why? They are a privilege of citizenship. “Establish procedures for the portability of social security and other earned benefits” – right. So national super should just be a voucher the wielder ia entitled to instantly and from anywhere, including back home in Mumbai! And its totally equal you know. Any white person is fully entitled to portability of their Pakistani benefits in New Zealand.

“Ensure all migrants have total legal support and individualised due process” – the compact actually bans collective actions. See, in every single other facet of life the globalist SJW promotes group identity. But not here. Here, everyone is an individual entitled to tax payer funded legal deliberations. And the compact would set up a while set of new bureaucracies to defend illegal aliens from any form of legal redress.

Objective 8 bans govts from preventing ‘humanitarian assistance’. So if Soros wants to fund the Indragheta to ship in millions of Africans to Sicily he can do that with impunity. A govt cannot prevent NGOs ‘helping’ and is prohibited from ‘collective actions’. Anyone who says they are “enhancing reception and integration capabilities” like the Muslim Brotherhood or B’nai B’rith has total impunity. You cannot stop them. Likewise these parasites have a total right to life. If they come and get into trouble they have to be saved, and must be ushered in, at which point all their other ‘rights’ catalyse.

Objective 11.27 “we commit to manage our borders in a coordinated manner… to facilitate regular migration…”
There is no national sovereignty here. None. The compact says to prevent ‘irregular’ migration you make all immigration ‘regular’ as all migrants have a right to citizenship benefits im western countries because of climate change.

Obj 12 – detention is a last resort, and can only come after exhausting all alternatives.

Obj 16 ’empower integration’ by massive diversity and inclusion campaigns and removal of threats to ‘social cohesion’ based on ‘mutual respect’. That’s funny because Indians, Chinese and Muslims don’t respect elements of western culture in various ways. There is zero obligation in the compact on the migrant. We are all to simply be reengineered from birth to love the illegal alien.

Obj 17 eliminates discrimination ‘against migrants’. There is no provision for discrimination that goes the other way.

It says migrants have to be given tax payer dollars to collectively punish ‘incitements to violence’ defined as infringements on their right to do whatever they like. Ah, that looks familiar. The NSW law criminalised speech using exactly the same tacit language. I wonder who will benefit from this little ? criticism of migrants will become a hate crime equivalent to violent physical assault.

Objective 17 c is the worst one. It says states must re-educate media to be pro migration, and ban all forms of media which are ‘xenophobic or discriminatory, including internet based media’…

“…stopping allocation of public funding or material support to media that systematically promote intolerance
…in full respect for freedom of the media”

Hahahaha

17 g is amazing – it says you have to give migrants tax payer funding to prosecute ‘discrimination’ “…including in the context of electoral campaigns”.

Hahahahaha there it is. National sovereignty is preserved goy. I apologise but it’s just so brazen.

If Simon is even one tenth as good as he thinks he is, he should turn this abomination into NZ electoral poison.

If Labour fuck everyone with this it will be a total betrayal of their election platform.

I mean look at it. Look at the state of this document. New Zealanders will recoil from this.

Internationally I don’t see how this can be resolved without violence. Trump needs to get back control of the CIA and start arranging plane crashes and nuclear plant accidents for the authors and supporters of this evil. Because this is pure unadulterated neo-babelism. This is Rotherham on steroids. We have to start sinking the boats. This is a recipe for the end of the world.

  I am not anti immigration, but are strongly against this. All countries have a right to chose who lives there and are answerable to no one for those choices.
  
  Once a person is allowed into a country – then yeah – equal rights for all. And I mean equal, not “special” rights for selected groups.
  
  Of course this sort of common sense approach will never work in 2018 and I expect NZ will be signed up to this and the media will celebrate Ardern for doing it.
