Just wondering...

In a just released decision by the Electoral Commission, the party has been given the go-ahead to file its documents electronically but still faces a six to eight-week wait till its registration is confirmed.

Eh?  6-8 weeks???  You've got to be joking.  Surely the EC has the registry of eligible electors in suitable electronic form squirreled away in a database somewhere.  If you can't find it, your mates at the GCSB or the Yanks in the NSA will tell you where it is. 

After all, the esteemed Hairdo has been allowed to submit his 500 names electronically.

Just how long does it take to write and run a comparison script?  No many could write such a script in BASIC (remember that?) to do that job in minutes. 

Surely not in this modern age they are doing a manual comparison at 12 names a day?  Let's face it, there's nothing else like an election to count going on in the EC's orbit at present.

So I was just wondering why they need 6-8 bloody weeks to complete this task?

Mr Key, the pricks over at the Electoral Commission need a rocket up their backsides.

That didn't take long for the ferals to turn up

the issue of the five permits tramples on environmental, Maori and private land ownership values

Greenie ferals and the eternally victimised with their pet taniwhaii have arrived on the scene.  That didn't take long. As previously noted.

Won't be long before the haggling begins over the bribe to be paid by the taxpayer.   With a long established pedigree of prostituting rights for money, the only argument on the street corner will be the size of the koha bribe.

Dingo Chief of Army confirms he wants a bunch of pussies

There is no place for you among this band of brothers and sisters

The rot in our Defence Forces starts at the top with pricks like this confirming he's happy to be in charge of a bunch of pussies and eunuchs.

No wonder our troops get killed when real world pressure goes on.  You think the Taleban gives a flying f**k about being "a feminist hero"? 

Harden up, your prime job is to kill, not to be nice to your fellow man.

All I can say is I'm thankful to no longer be part of an organisation that espouses such feminist views.

Drill, Baby, Drill

an exciting opportunity for Northland and for New Zealand

is significant potential for the country to grow the economic contribution

Aaah.  The fishy smell of taniwhaii about to surface as various locals will look to get their cut of the action.  And as is normal politicians of all stripes will freely piss in their pockets to quench the stench with my taxes of yet more 'full and final' offerings.

And no doubt the place will be inundated with unwashed feral greens and their carbon guzzling MPs  lauding the positive effects of mining our minerals for sale.  I think not.

Web hoster off air? [update - back online]

It looks like local web hoster www.webworld.co.nz went off air overnight and has taken my mates website with it.  And no doubt a few others.  Thankful that he has a backup.

A community notice to start your day.

webworld is now back online at around 0825.  I note without any message to say why.

Why the Nats haven't stood against Lyin' Len

Housing Minister Nick Smith has told Auckland Mayor Len Brown to get a move on with the Unitary Plan so more houses can be built in Auckland

a "head-on collision" was looming because Auckland Council would not sign an accord which fast-tracked 39,000 new homes

councils rejected a law change which gave ministers power to override council plans

That should do it.  Lyin' Len will be sidelined before the election.  No need to waste your time in October voting for Len, for the government will have taken over the reins, in the same manner as they did a couple of years ago with that regional council of troughers down on the Mainland.

That will be why the Nats haven't stood candidates in JafaLand.  You heard it here first!

"I'm pretty sure the voters will be interested in that sort of thing"

questions about the fundraising "came as a big surprise"

said he would give the money to charities and the community

He was not entirely aware of the situation

unable to give the money back

One of Hone's would be MP's has been practising for future office, using fiscal sleight of hand and offering lame excuses when caught with his fingers jammed in the till.  Unfortunately a principled would be MP from the other racist party doesn't like the dodgy accounting.  Like criminals, there is no honour amongst politicians.

Labour candidate Meka Whaitiri said it was not an issue she was concerned about

 Nikora has said in previous interviews that he redistributed all of the money given

He's in good company.  The Labour candidate fully supports the rort.  But then Labour have had years of dodgy accounting.

We have to think of this in not so much a money way but in a Maori way

It's high time the disinfectant of sunlight was extended into the dark recesses of the Maori way bribes and palm greasing, particularly on the East Coast.  Fully transparent electoral finance legislation would be a start.

1Law4All Update

A comment I've just made over at Not PC

Greig, You can keep 'wasting your vote' with your party of choice - Libz, a party of high ideals, even a few I like, particularly small government, but something is very wrong with the implementation.

Although I'm open to correction, nowhere in the world have Libz parties made significant traction at the ballot box, managing to get their ideology into the limelight.

Hell, even in New Zealand other small parties have proven to be able to shame some of the larger parties into sorts of action (witness brekkie in schools this week, something I disagree with though), but not Libz.  So for me, they'll always be in the realm of theoretical nutters but possibly with some good political ideas.

Every foul epithet possible might be directed at 1Law4All, but like others agree in the commentary above, something different in our government has to be done, a different route has to be travelled to deflect New Zealand off the insidious track to apartheid down which it has sped in the past 3O years.

Once purged of the scourge of racist legislation based on genealology, the way may well open for other new initiatives such as small government and a written constitution embracing all irrespective of colour or creed.

Hell, along the way there might even be room for my inner tree hugger to surface with a view to look after some of our degraded environments, but not at the expense of a developing economy which would encompass mining resources on land and at sea. That's for the future to get our economy back on track and balanced via serious reductions in government outgoings.

I for one am willing to step onto to that path, one I had hoped Nats might travel, but have proven to be nothing less than profligate liars in recent times. 

As a side note, I had never heard of 1Law4All till this morning, but have long wished for such a party.

I see RedBaiter has something similar - often screamed at and written off as certifiable, he too appears to have had a gutsful of the direction of New Zealand politics.

Yes!!!

One law for All

Where National should be, but chose to slide leftward.

ht Not PC

Exactly!

problem debt, substance abuse, poor decision-making, and a history of neglect were common reasons why some parents were not taking full responsibility for their children.

there are people that spend money in ways that perhaps some of us think they shouldn't be and are not putting their children first

not so much lack of money, but lack of ability or willingness on the part of a significant group of families to spend it wisely

Exactly!  Parents need to sort out their priorities towards their children.

Government benefits were enough for most people to get by on

It's not as if there isn't enough to go around with all the welfare being sprayed around, but today we have another sob story of her own making with loans to pay and running a car. 

INCOME:
$293 from Winz, plus $120 rent assistance.
EXPENSES:
$285 rent. $30 electricity. $60 loan repayments to the bank and people to whom she owes money.
$38 left for petrol, food and unplanned expenses.

Ditch the car, that will save $45 a week for a start, then do everything possible to kill the loan.

It's all about priorities and putting your children first.

"there will be a clean out"

The wet wing of the National Party control the senior ranks of the party and cannot be easily replaced without losing an election. After National loses an election there will be a clean out.

In my view, the rout cannot come quick enough.  National needs to lose this election to ditch the leftward facing liberals and get back to core principles, putting the country on the fast track to fiscal and moral balance.

A long time overdue, politics in New Zealand needs marked separation of those with nominally conservative values from parties that sit on the centre-left fence. 

The first organised group to professionalise and fund politics properly will obtain prime mover advantage and control the market for sometime. This is a one-off opportunity to exploit the gap in the market

I'm sick of being offered lily-livered liberal time-servers ever willing to trade principles for my vote.  As far as I'm concerned, National squandered any advantage with their pandering to the racist Maori Party and continues to move ever leftward.

there needed to be a focus on "taking over the public sector" to create a pool of fiscal conservatives who would work with politicians

Union money will not be able to match business money

show MPs "the consequences of ignoring donors"

Damned right!  The public service is riddled with Labour stooges ever willing to work against a centre-right government, particularly through leaks and indoctrination via our schools.  One only has to see the cocky school principals on telly this week always working against the government.

I look forward to Mr Lusk having a greater role in a seriously right facing future government when the nice Mr Key is rolled at the next election.  I and no doubt many others are looking for somewhere else to place my vote in 2014.  Yes, the National party does need to clean house.

No, I do not hate you, but...

The greenie half leader queries whether real New Zealander's  hate her and her ilk, causing their kids to top themselves.

A post that cannot be commented on. (except maybe via FB, in which I do not have an account)



Hers's what I tried to post as a comment:

It's not what others think that cause our kids to top themselves. 

It's the feckless lazy parents unwilling to get off their backsides, permanently on the dole in entitlement, grievance and victimhood mode complaining how it is all the fault of society that sets the example of utter hopelessness for kids.  All while wanting the latest of this and that given freely to them on my dime which those of us whom worked long and hard years to attain making often very difficult family decisions along the way.

The kids that require it are given every opportunity through directed welfare, health initiatives and education to succeed, but a lot choose not to avail themselves of it.  When those kids see those around them, including politicians who will not stand up for them, taking the perceived easy route of it's all too hard they follow on that easy route with tragic results.

Indeed, it has long been an accurate portrayal of Maori and Polynesian people as being fat lazy bludgers and is one that needs changing.   All parents of children, irrespective of ethnicity, have as their core responsibility to feed and clothe their own children closely followed by setting a good example of ethics. 

When parents do not lead by example, openly dishing out their own brand of open hostility toward society, we can only expect one result.

While I'm not adverse to having a laugh over such matters when a cartoonist hits the nail on the head as in yesterday's example, I for one am heartily sick of throwing good tax money after bad to look after after some other prick's kids, when those parents will not shift off their arses to help themselves and set good examples for their children.

Identifying the bludgers should be real easy now

The sharp lurch of the Nats toward their inner socialist yesterday in the quest for ever more leftie votes is utterly sickening.  Not content with continually pandering to and chasing the racist native vote with all manner of affirmative action schemes, food is now to be dished out on my dime to feed some other prick's kids.

But hey, there's possibly a good side.  As rugrats turn up for a 'free' breakfast at my expense, their deadbeat bludging parents will now be easily identified.  There should be no child in New Zealand living in 'poverty' with all manner of welfare largesse being doled out.  Well maybe the children of Aotearoa, that entitled rabble long proven to spending their dole with other priorities, but certainly not in any children of real New Zealanders, the middle class relentlessly sucking on the government tit via Working for Welfare.

I expect those at WINZ/CYFS to be down daily at the 'free' feeds actively taking names and inviting Mr Plod to prosecute for neglect of their parental responsibilities.

Comment of the day

The only time anyone will be in the dark is when Russel Norman ascends to the role of Minister of Finance.

Then the lights will literally go out.

Mr Plod shafted by bleeding heart IPCA over useless Labour law

Police acted "unlawfully, unjustifiably and unreasonably" in establishing road blocks, and detaining and searching people during the Urewera raids six years ago, the police watchdog says

IMHO, Mr Plod did a fine job on the day in question, controlling the often previously belligerent separatist locals via searches, roadblocks and arresting the would be terrorists after a two year surveillance operation.

It is a pity that Labour's hastily written anti-terrorist laws were subsequently proven not to be up to the mark as most of the collected evidence was ditched.  More like legal bleeding hearts hard at work dancing on pin heads, but have those laws been fixed yet Mr Key?

the nature of complaints received by the authority ranged from the impact on the community of armed AOS officers at a road block to feelings of ill-treatment by police during the execution of search warrants at properties

Ill feelings???  You've got to be joking!   This was an anti-terrorist operation conducted as one would expect.

So today, the IPCA finally gets their report to the public and shafts the Police for doing their job.  A duty they executed properly knowing that they would not get local support.  It is a pity that after all these years only four remain convicted, in my view all arrested were guilty as initially reported.

The report is tomorrow's fish and chip wrapper whilst the perpetrators carry on their own sweet way to separatism and apartheid, knowing full well they've got away yet again via our piss-weak anti-terrorist legislation.   And it is a pity that the current Police Commissioner does not have the balls to tell the IPCA to take a hike, stand up for his staff and allow the Police to get on with their job.
