…I’m no fan of the cops but the medias attempt to manufacture another #MeToo villain here seemed to outweigh their journalistic curiosity as to who was actually leaking all of this to them, and more importantly, why?
Very few New Zealanders ever grasped what the rest of the world saw when it looked upon the British Empire: a huge blood-smeared lion whose sharp teeth and vicious claws struck terror into the hearts of all those too weak to resist them.
I went to a meeting yesterday . 26 people – really good hearted people from all walks of life – called together by Barrister Jo Wickliffe to see if we could help solve a problem.
You see, Auckland City doesn’t have a night shelter.
I am very pleased that we now have Ms Scholtens QC’s independent report. Her findings on the process for my appointment answer the matters that have been raised. The IPCA’s report is still to come: but she has already found that the appointment process was correctly carried out.
So now 100 years have passed since the end of the first globalised war – a war in which most countries either took sides or (some) refused to do so. A war in which so many were killed like little rats in dug trenches, their lives squashed in an instant. Anyone who hasn’t seen the extraordinary representation of the Gallipoli campaign at Te Papa should certainly do so (closes in April 2019). It makes me cry every time for the human tragedy and waste, and I am a serial viewer.
This is a deeply concerning slide towards huge Police State powers with no ability to reign them in and not even a rational explanation as to why we should keep feeding them with more and more intrusive search and surveillance powers.
Who is the threat? Extremists or the Deep State?
NZ First lets Andrew know when he can bark.
YAY! When the sadistic WINZ staff member (who seems to get off on the power they have over weak and vulnerable people) kicks you in the guts, turns down your welfare and spies through Facebook to see if you you are in a relationship, it’ll all happen in a warm and friendly environment.
Wokedom at it’s most hollow and insincere.
New Zealand casualty rate in that war, killed or wounded, was 58%. That is equal to one-quarter of the adult male population aged between 20 and 45 and eligible to serve. Our death rate of those who served at 16.6% was higher than that suffered by Germany!
This Sroubek thing is a storm in a tea cup while sectioning a dissident MP using anonymous sources for harassment and Chinese business influences attempting to buy two Chinese MPs is FAR more important for us to focus on.
