GCSB Not Off The Hook – Inspector-General Repeats Wrong Interpretation
By Keith Locke – “Paul Neazor’s assessment also seems to be at odds with what the GCSB has admitted in the Kim Dotcom case: that it did illegal spy on him, a New Zealand resident, when it assisted with preparations for a Police raid on his property.” - Read More

Stopping the culture of ‘entitlement’ at the border
What many baby boomers decry as ‘entitlement’ amongst younger generations are just the basic state funded equal opportunities they have enjoyed all their life

If you were writing a comedy script for a series lampooning the stupidity and incompetence of a spy agency you couldn’t do better than follow the real-life antics of our own GCSB (Government Communications Security Bureau).

If the Police are now able to seize assets and property by moving the evidential threshold from beyond reasonable doubt to the balance of probabilities, why aren’t they kicking down the front door of Sky City and arresting every executive?

Question: Is the GCSB staffed and managed by people for whom english is a second language?
Read More →National standards in education are not national or standard.
The whole process is a crock. It can’t work, and won’t work. There is a basic similarity with Novopay, where the basic concept and design is so flawed that achieving any kind of reliability is going to be very expensive, if at all possible. The government’s ‘raising achievement through national standards’ policies have similar concept and design errors.

Paul Neazor’s assessment also seems to be at odds with what the GCSB has admitted in the Kim Dotcom case: that it did illegal spy on him, a New Zealand resident, when it assisted with preparations for a Police raid on his property.

What was true of the 1940s is no less true today. If the revolution doesn’t happen in America – it doesn’t happen at all.

To use the power of the state to abuse the weak because the tyranny of the majority don’t care about mental health or physical disability are the actions of a cowardly Government with all the social conscience of slavers.

Trust Audrey Young to use her voice for American Corporate Domination
She is in America for the US-NZ Partnership Forum so it’s not clear if they have paid for her to travel there or if the Herald are paying her. I hope it’s the former and that she isn’t this compliant to US interests against her own nation without getting an all expenses paid junket out of it.

TV Review: The X-Factor is corporate profit margin, not artistic quality
From the taxpayers point of view, it’s difficult to explain why such commercial endeavors need propping up for a foreign owned media company when the product is as heavily produced as a Big Mac combo.

to most New Zealanders local TV is benign, multi-racial and a blur of happy memories of Terry Teo and Pio Tere, Rawiri Paratene and Howard Morrison; and more recently the Vodafone Maori kid.

Because I am a woman who receives the sacred sperm of men in the pre-destined creation of a pre-existing pre-born pre-baby, I am very special. So special that I’m not allowed to comment on their page anymore because it’s a page for men about men’s issues.

REVIEW: ‘Let Us Reappraise Famous Men’ – Jonny Potts, NZ International Comedy Festival 2013
Potts has a mixture of incredibly dry humour and theatrical funniness, which is oddly complimentary and doesn’t leave you feeling sick of any one style. He’s endearingly self deprecating and, turns out, has a bloody good singing voice.

On Wednesday our very own Marama Davidson is joining some other stellar people for a panel discussion at The Women’s Centre in Auckland. ‘Feminisms through different lenses’ will be moderated by Dr Judy McGregor and will tackle what it means to be feminist and how we relate to feminist concepts in our day-to-day lives. Mmmmm [...]

The Greens have, just today, launched The Kiwi Bid. The Government is accepting bids from oil companies from the 24th of May for oil exploration. So the Greens are asking New Zealanders to sign up for a competing bid. Even the industry admits there is no guarantee of safety with deep sea drilling, [...]

JustSpeak is holding the second forum in their three-part series called ‘Unlocking Prisons’ tonight. I would highly recommend heading along to this tonight because the last one was fascinating. JustSpeak are doing an excellent job of challenging a lot of the assumptions made in the current discourse regarding the justice system and these [...]

Abortion has a long and dramatic history in NZ, but it’s not a history we talk about, or remember. And remembering that history is vital to our continuing push for reproductive rights today.

He’s charming, a bit dark (his reasons for hating on his 12 year old niece are hilariously bleak) and his rant on how Barbie leads girls to giving rich guys blowjobs is comedic genius.
Read More →Comedy Fest Review: Titty bar ha-ha (3.5 stars)
Highlights were the dueling kazoos, a wonderful mash up of tainted love and bang bang, and a breast puppet show where breasts complete with wigs, eyes and mouths (the nipples were noses) sang french love songs.
