Shooting the messenger

ghastly, smug, politically neurotic, uneducated, violent child-bashing, greedy fat over-eating weirdos filled with hate

ungrateful, depraved, polluted, immoral, degraded, vain, arrogant and cowardly uncivilised savages lacking moral courage

Even the greatest living New Zealander described them as 'haters and wreckers'.

The 'Noble savages' have their pistols drawn.

Extreme force??? I'll give you extreme!

upset at the "apparent extreme use of force" by Nelson police to apprehend the pair.

apparent extreme use of force on these young people – especially the use of guns held to their heads while they were on the ground and handcuffed

Let's look at the litany of offences.

• pair were arrested at Hira after a five-day crime spree beginning in Christchurch.
• driving a stolen Jaguar
• had a loaded airgun on the back seat
• had "no intention of stopping"
• the pair had been tracked by police through Kaikoura, Seddon, Blenheim, Havelock and Rai Valley
• taking cars
• stealing property
• were confronted with officers armed with rifles, pistols and Tasers
• their car was stopped by road spikes

And some prick of a desk-jockey has had the temerity to complain they had rights?

Howse dat working 4U?

Liarbour introduced the much argued concept in the Local Government ACT 2002. Now the results are in.

• Inflation since 2002 was about 3%
• Rates rises since 2002 a proven 7%
  

As most ratepayers have been saying for yonks.

The thieves that infest our councils have been making the most of our money implementing unrelenting pinko "we know what's good for you (and for our pockets)" socialist programmes.

For many years, ratepayers have expressed concern about rate increases that have well outstripped inflation. The previous Government responded to those concerns by setting up a ministerial inquiry, the Local Government Rates Inquiry, and then ignoring its recommendations.

Rodney Hide amended it in 2010 with little effect to my rates. Tararua District Council recently put my annual rates up by a shocking 40%. After writing to him, the Mayor as good as said it was justified to charge the crap out of lifestyle blocks.

a failure by councils to control their spending

Now the Nats say they are looking closely at the negative changes the 2002 law made. Not before time.

How's the concept 'power of general competence' working 4U? To me, it smacks of nothing but rank incompetence.

Her priority is to go whoring?

A solo mum who wants to study so she can get off welfare says she has had to turn to prostitution to pay for childcare and transport to the course

Eh? Seems to have a fair suck of the sav at present and wants more?

• Gets about $40K on a benefit and other supplements
  
• Wants to become a full time student. Lives in Pukekohe, course in Mt Albert, tens of miles away from home, totally dependent on Len's unreliable trainset.
• Stiffs the taxpayer for daily transport
• Stiffs the taxpayer for a course
• Stiffs the taxpayer for 50 hours childcare
• Is hocking her parts off to the highest bidder in secondary employment.
  

Obviously needs to get her priorities straight. IMHO, being a mother to her spawn is her number one priority, not a full-time student. As for her secondary job to raise cash, it is an honourable profession according to our law. One I do not agree with. Anyway as a taxpayer, I'd hope any income from the street corner would reduce her taxpayer largesse.

It's just not fair

I wonder when she will be claiming for childcare during her secondary employment. Nothing but another of the entitled bludging underclass 'woe is me' whoring for media attention to get more than a fair share of taxpayer largesse.

Yes, life is not fair, but all of your own making. I should not be paying for yours.

Would be thieves buggered by system

tax policy was being held because the computer systems "can't actually support radical changes from Government"

I wonder what rapacious taxes are in store for the productive if it were not for the dated computer system. Should the pinko thieves from Liarbour and the Greens ever get near a revamped system, redistribution would be the order of the day.

The would be thieving bastards are currently stymied by the system, so be thankful there's no money in the kitty for such a revamp. However once a revamp does get some action, the corpse of INCIS serves as the benchmark.

More dawn raids? If only...

the council found that the number of people ... on the site exceeded the numbers permitted by the district plan.

Abatement notices were issued ordering them to comply with the plan.

'Tis a pity the same council doesn't enforce the district plan with similar gusto with regard to people living in overcrowded substandard and usually not permitted structures such as garages in South Auckland. Maybe some of those newly emergent third-world diseases could be eradicated with the application of the law.

More dawn raids likely? If only.

Will never happen, they voted for Lying Len.

Terrorists finally in dock

Tame Wairere Iti, Te Rangikaiwhira Kemara, Emily Felicity Bailey and Urs Signer are facing charges of participating in an organised criminal group, unlawful possession of firearms and possession of restricted weapons

Four of the wannabe terrorists are finally up before a beak. We await the completion of this farce.

Thirteen of the original defendants in the case had their charges dropped after the Supreme Court ruled that video footage taken by covert cameras was inadmissible

A farce that still has not got decent legislation implemented to nail the perpetrators. IMHO all 18 and their associates should have been locked away without bail from day one.

Integrity impugned???

was trying to "impugn my integrity and suggest I was a hypocrite"

Integrity impugned? Turia gives it back as good as she gets.

We are talking about a person who in his previous time in Parliament took $158,000 worth of taxpayers' money and never ever paid it back

Winston and integrity? You have to be bloody joking. From a politician who has long stretched the meaning of the word.

Integrity is a concept of consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations, and outcomes. In ethics, integrity is regarded as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one's actions. Integrity can be regarded as the opposite of hypocrisy, in that it regards internal consistency as a virtue, and suggests that parties holding apparently conflicting values should account for the discrepancy or alter their beliefs.

LMFAO!

Inaccurate, dangerous stereotypes from guess who

There is no such thing as Maori child abuse; there is just child abuse. By putting the word Maori in front of it, a stereotype is created which is inaccurate and dangerous

New Zealand must continue efforts to address the "appalling" rate of Maori youth unemployment

race relations commissioner has criticised "lack of generosity" by some Pakeha towards deprived Maori

they're all issues which reflect Maori and Pacific disadvantage

Joris de Bres criticised those Pakeha who still resisted moves to give "special treatment" to disadvantaged Maori

Funny that, but as expected.

One rule for us and another rule for one whose continued employ depends on promoting racist stereotypes.

Not bad conditions for the wages

Fresh from their summer hols, in recent days pandering to the racists and separatists with outstretched hands that leech off the productive, our political masters return to the trough today.

Not one of them has done an ounce of work, apart from getting elected at great expense in the pursuit of the farce that is New Zealand democracy, since early November last year. Three bloody months doing sweet FA on the taxpayer dime.

Great employment conditions on 6-figures to slurp at the trough for another three years.

Call time

denying that the Treaty exists

the Maori Party will have to consider its position with the Government

Mr Key, time to call their bluff. A few bludging natives walking to Wellytown to protest will really display to hard working Kiwis where priorities lie. The sooner we get that piece of paper consigned to the dustbin of history, New Zealand can ditch the Stone Age shackles.

IMHO the mealy mouthed racists won't walk. They're enjoying wallowing in the trough.

"The bodies are stacking up"

The bodies are stacking up

This country has really got to take a serious look at what we're doing in the water

Someone gets pissed and drowns. Or goes to sea without appropriate safety gear / preparation. Been more than a few of those in recent months.

Now champion leftie trougher, ex-Mare Bob wants a talk-fest. And taxpayers to pay. Just like his ex-councils' OTT legislation on pool fences.

A fine one to talk when his council failed to take any liability over the questionable maintenance practices and council buck passing so evident in the recent tragic case of Aisling Symes.

is organising a workshop involving all 37 organisations involved in water safety
somehow make sense of the tragedies involved

What we really need is $28 million

As ever, follow the money. It's always the money and getting taxpayers / ratepayers to cough for more follies.

Hypocrite.

Tainted milk

variously claimed that his company's bid was "tainted by fraud"

The OIO found no evidence of this

No doubt that would be the same regime of "of good character" checks used with Mr Dotcom and associates?

"38911 BASIC BYTES FREE. READY."

My first computer, a modern marvel in its day. Bloody expensive at $1000 for just a keyboard! Programs came on an audio tape or you mastered BASIC like I did. Never got into games and still have zero interest in them. A hobby interest in computers and electronics from valves to transistors and integrated circuitry that continues to serve me well today.

Once you get over the hurdle of how to get something on the screen it's not that difficult to make apps and share them with your friends

Unfortunately, also really showing my age. Mind you, am just waiting for the know-it-all 7 year old to ask "... and what would you know about computers, Granddad? ".

Lying Len about to take a dump on JAFAs

Auckland Council owns the port company and is also the governing body that must approve the port's plans

Lying Len has been rumbled looking for somewhere to put all that spoil when his train set is extended to include the fabled underground loop. Seems the plans have been well buried from public view.

relates to potential development over the next 40 years. I am sure it will be refined over time...

The perfect place? Extend the wharves you already own. It's all downhill from here on the 40 year plan.

Yes, it will be easy for Lying Len to take a dump on JAFAs.
