The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
Labour’s Corporate Welfare Wellbeing Subsidy Budget is proof that Labour is addicted to Corporate Welfare.
$140m plus an additional $30m if they build it properly, to an Australian-owned Steel company in Waiuku.
There is a common theme here. A lot of these businesses use to be owned by the NZ Government right up to the time they sold them! Because they were said to be unprofitable! Go Figure!!
It’s also proof that Climate Change is just a good old Ponzi scheme. Green Washn capitalism you dummies!
Another slam dunk Tane. You have the nous for chasing down and how to handle a ball.
We’re prob headed for an ice age in all reality, seems plausible
We are, but it is a very long way and many weather events off.
Highly recommended:
PWC Australia tax leak scandal: could it happen here? With a broader discussion on the state of our declining Public Service, its relationship to politicians. and how we are not being well served by the use of consultants, greasers and ticket clippers as defacto public servants.

There’s only one way to fix it now that it’s become normalised – STOP using them. It’ll take a while but it needs to be done.
Rebuild public service capacity, expertise and intellectual property.
In my opinion, it’s worse than
OWT You missed the bit at the end – was it …. ?
(Leaving us to work out what it is worse than. Now that is a conundrum.)
Oh sorry – constant interruptions.I think I was going to say that it’s worse than the interviewees stated.
All part of the new cycle imo, exposing global corruption and the perpetrators, in order to clean it up and clear it out. Also happening on an individual level.
Poor us. We get a market for something other than milk and Tait Electronics. But, I think it is Oz, has come along to deprive us of it like they did over our apples. Our good friends my eye. Maybe I’m wrong. I only read the headline but I know Oz was trying to cut us off at the knees. (I put up something about tea tree and manuka species etc … about two weeks ago.)
It looks as if we might get some traction under an indigenous, kaitiaki ruling that the fat cats in other countries cannot dismiss. Here is hoping because this world globalisation thing springs from evil geniuses who have rubbed the belly of Mr Creosote and released a vicious genie.

His personal circumstances should be dealt with and if people are going over the edge and then not receiving help and containment of some sort, it further stresses and tears at what society we have left.

Exhausted nurses are working while sick and injured, missing meal breaks, and live with the constant fear of making a fatal mistake, while some of their patients wait days to have their catheters changed.
That is the daily reality inside Gisborne Hospital’s acute care unit, according to nurses’ evidence read out in the Employment Court on Monday.
However, health bosses say their plans for a one-hour strike on Wednesday are unlawful and they have asked the judge for an injunction.
