Departing MP confirms National is a lost cause

A departing National MP is having a bleat to the media that the locals hate her.  And that compromises made to ACT and Winston First during the last coalition have 'damaged' the very fabric of the country.

her constituents in Banks Peninsula had told her they hated her party after it had moved too far to the right

Outgoing National MP Vanessa Weenink has slammed Christopher Luxon’s handling of Te Tiriti o Waitangi-related issues last term, claiming the concessions he made to coalition partners Act and New Zealand First went against the party’s values and harmed both the country and National's own reputation.

For me, it confirms that National has no intention of stopping apartheid in New Zealand.  She says out loud what I and other voters saw 2-3 years ago.  That National has strayed so far from its founding principles,  it is willing to sell its very soul for the levers of power.  Actors like Reti, Luxon, Potaka are never going to fix the endless maorification of New Zealand and stop co-governance issues.  Neither is Winston.  He plays both sides for votes, never getting any traction on his stated bottom lines.

Another born to rule get red carded, this time in a blue skirt.  Take your DCM, don't let the door hit you on the way out.  

A fair whack of the NZ voting public saw it the same way I do, that we continue headlong with 2-tier apartheid policies, often behind closed doors, without meaningful positive actions or outcomes.  I suppose all the rooms are fully booked for Ratana and Waitangi continued schmoozing of the 'partners'!

Our votes will go to those looking like they may actually do something to counter these issues whilst wallowing in the trough of largesse.  Hence why ACT actually increased their number of MPs.  Hopefully they may go even further right.

Bible quote for today:

Job: 20 

My skin and my flesh cling to my bones; I have escaped with only the skin of my teeth.

National awaits the specials final count.  Will it be put out of its misery?

The electorate has spoken, National you failed to make use of a mandate, so bye-bye to senior ministers.  Long touted RMA changes, endless maorification were not dealt with in a timely and effective manner.

Brownlee, Goldsmith, Bishop and Willis gone.  Others just hanging on.  Hundreds of thousands of 2-ticked party votes totally wasted because of globalist pundits such as Key.  That's what you get for being a centrist beholden to the WEF.  Some of the ditherers are gone,

You've don't deserve it but today you have the slimmest of margins.  I wonder if Mr. Luxon will eat a large dead rat and call Ms. Wong.  Could NZ First do a horse change for better offers from the left?  He has form on only doing what's best for Winston.  PM would look nice on his retiring CV!  

A reminder for the undecided

From a few years ago:

A tacit reminder for those contemplating wrecking New Zealand following lefty lies and free stuff, whilst mortgaging your grandchildren.

One down, one to go.

Winston stops funding a well-known terrorist organisation.

New Zealand stops funding to UNRWA.

Winston : “We want to know our money is going for a legitimate purpose. And you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to work out it certainly was not. We're not financing cases where they actually engage with terrorists.”

Now Winnie, how about stopping New Zealand funding the same terrorists via the compulsory halal tax rort that is garnered from Islamic butchering of livestock at our meatworks.

Two reasons not to...

A succinct observation from ACT's Mr. Seymour:

first of all, I have no idea what Chris Hipkins is thinking, and second of all, he may not either.

Definitively, two reasons not to vote for the left.

You're misinformed #2345...

Nowhere to be seen in MSM dispatches today but:

After some sleeplessness caused coffee-assisted doom-scrolling in the wee small hours, I observed overnight that Mr. Plod exited Dargaville Aerodrome for the North Hokianga settlement of Mitimiti.  They spent some two hours plus overhead in tight circles and lazy local loops at below 2000 feet or so before returning southward.

As expected, the reactive local MSM has nothing to report.  Do not have Facebook / Twitter access to see what went down.  Nothing mentioned on FENZ incidents.  Mitimiti is a remote often windswept outpost full of specials with treaty rights and other alternative-styled types.  The long arm of the law rarely reaches into such areas, but there are a lot expensive Harley motorbikes that often transit toward the area.  Familial and community good visits no doubt.

Anyhow, Mr. Plod was probably out for a mainly peaceful long weekend jaunt on a nicely moonlight calm night, but we'll never know as the MSM ever gives timely real news.  One would hope that they haven't been upsetting C. Hipkin's gang mates - he desperately needs their votes.

As is oft stated, if you view the proffered news of the day, you're misinformed.

Supping with the devil costs Labour votes

C. Hipkins emotional?

More like caught in a corner, pants down supping with the devil.  The devil being the gangs and his ever wishful MP candidates will lower their standards to rock-bottom for any votes.

He tries to justify it all, suggesting "it was "bloody hard" for people managing family conflicts".

Maybe if those said families were to recognise gang members are not "community members doing God's work", but are criminals of the worst kind.  Every patch is an award for the most violent, serious criminality and stand-over tactics mainly from peddling drugs.

No amount of penitence will ever give redemption for these vile criminals.

Reality bites hard

Picture this:

A special peoples venture operates as a business model being mostly a sleep-out with an attached kitchen and at other times supposedly not whilst idling. 

Whole operation is tied up and run by committees. Is probably not taxed being in a charitable trust model.  Gets its power supplied at cheap  residential rates and is often well-funded by unaudited taxpayer / ratepayer largesse.

Said business sees the bright shiny trinket of 'free power' via solar.  Signs up for an extensive solar power install to power their kitchen facilities.  Probably on some power board freebie grant model for "the good of the community". Looks to game the system thinking this will be so good for "our people", whilst raising the cost of power for all other users.

Power board installs a very expensive 300 kVA transformer.  Copper's worth heaps these days!  Power board also say that allows future-proofing for the localised housing expansion trough this venture's also got its snout into.  A business in any real sense of the word.

Now said business is whining to the MSM for sympathy as the power bill has jumped some 400%.  On full business rates so someone's paying for all that copper and fast-depreciating solar.

Business power bills do not stop for community good or idleness in the real world.  The true cost of being in business bites hard at the local funeral home.

Glide Time bludgers have an outing in the sun

A few under-worked unionised in Wellingrad had an outing in the sun today.  Good to see them getting some vitamin D.  As is the norm, screaming into the void for more pay.

For what?  Most do SFA, aka Glide Time.  Cull more than a few more of the unionised overpaid seat-warmers , especially those "working" from home.  Bring on AI as quick as possible to follow what must now be well-defined binary-tree decisions rather than "employing" some PSA wallah looking to organise the next protest.

Protesting a few weeks from an election, shades of many years ago "it must be a holiday weekend soon" where the seafarers union would cripple the country's travel intentions every holiday period.

You might guess I despise the unionised.

And they're off...

Gentlemen, start your engines!  And maybe those other assorted genders, including those who do not know what a woman is, along with those who do not know if they are Arthur or Martha.

The thieves are racing for your vote as 2026 electoral madness kicks off today.

The below is particularly for the current MP for Northland:

Dan Woods says it all how I feel, copied in full from The Good Oil:

I am not sure where to begin on this, so this comment will have both barrels aimed at a party that has deserted us, has betrayed us, has used us, and not just let us down but lied to us.

We are not at all tribal like the left is. We don't believe in equality based on race, nor do we believe in being taxed to death to feed the ever-hungry mouths of the neer-do-wells that contribute jack. We believe in free enterprise, and defining ones-self in life is the measure of effort and hard work , not lying about expecting a free lunch or thirty.

We will not be lectured to, and we will not stand for these wellington bubbleheaded equivalents of a wet sock telling us how to vote, because unlike the left that want everything paid for, we don't, don't want it, never have, because our fuel is independence, and that drive in us speaks encyclopedias about us.

To National? I will tell you this friggin Stairrod straight. You deserve every ounce of opprobrium from us because not only have you ignored your own , you have shut down your support partners on issues you said you'd address, but haven't. Your whole organization is a mealy-mouthed conglomerate of apology towards those who despise you, and you wonder why you remain planted in the 30%. That's because you are arrogant, you misunderstand MMP, and get this into your thick heads, you are not the antithesis of Labour.

You have become a clone of a party I deserted 20 odd years ago.

Don't you ever, EVER DARE, to demand blind loyalty when you have stabbed me and others in the back, and by doing so have forfeited any respect I have had for you .Respect is EARNED. Trust is paramount.

The national party circa 2026 is indeed a waste of two ticks.

To all of us here. Diminish them to a shell and get rid of the dead weight of a party that no longer believes in us. I am sick of them.

Aaron Shanahan.

Could not state it any better!  Pass it on to your utterly useless boss Grant!

Now both National (had the mandate this term but wasted it) and NZ First (sold out to that woman) will not ever again be on my Christmas Card list.  Once bitten...

Timely shopping advice

Your house isn’t the most expensive thing you’ll ever buy. Your government is. So shop around.

As various would-be thieves actively spin their lies vying for your vote on Nov 7th, promising to dispense your hard-earnt taxes into their pet projects, the above is timely advice for electoral shoppers.

That is the real danger of what Britain is doing. It isn’t merely that people resent paying tax. People have always resented paying tax. It’s that eventually the people who create the taxable wealth stop seeing the point in creating it.

Applies equally in New Zealand.

Act's "One law for all" outlined today

+1000

ACT's David Seymour outlines his policy today in a straight talking video.  A good watch.

And right on cue, someone in the audience asks a question, suggesting a direct threat, that there will be a Hikoi MkII over this change in legislation.

I wish these videos would show and highlight those asking questions in the Q&A.

On target and long overdue

Shane Jones, one of the ministers involved in the RMA reforms, said the “supreme law-making power” of Parliament superseded “any Treaty of Waitangi settlement”

Shane continues to perform this term.  Winston First again correctly reads the room.

Decades overdue and totally on target.   Obviously Tainui natives were lining up the Waikato to be an eternal bountiful source for "Underpants" Morgan and fellow grifters.  In a similiar manner to the recent South Island $450M rort and the Tauranga Port bribery $$$ attempt.

Winston is obviously not getting paid

Winston First leader today apparently surprised his coalition partner with "an absolute waste!".

Luxo thought his caucus was "United, I tell ya!", but it obvious Winnie is not getting a cut of the action.

Anyway that to one side, some more about the Point Chev route.  I remember reading detailed write ups published in local library books about the lava flow from Mount Albert to near on Kauri Point when I was a whippersnapper attending school many years ago in Jafaland.  No need for expensive new reports, just dust off the old ones.

Apparently the lava flow was well surveyed half a century or more ago, the lava flow is not very deep and the subsoils below are soft harbour muds and sandstones.  A deeper narrow channel at Kauri Point / Shark Bay northern side of the harbour, "crossing the T" so to speak.. The area would have been closely surveyed when Auckland Harbour bridge was mooted.  I believe the zoo made extensive usage of that same lava flow by mining it to create fences and animal enclosures.

Now further on, the southern side on what now looks like dry land was once something else.  Currently nicely planted and groomed, a nice outlook for Motat planes.  Unfortunately the southern end right up to the zoo and including Meola Road and the planes was once Auckland's main tip.  And via Meola Creek, the zoo's cesspit.

Once they start digging into that area for a new bridge all manner of Jafaland's past toxic sins like asbestos will surface.  And these toxic items will be buried in another tip somewhere.  Nimby's to action!

It will be fun to watch the contortions as the consultants engage to have a piece of this large pie.  And to watch how much Winnie extracts from Luxo for future confidence and supply.  Beware Nats, any C&S terminates 90 days before the next election about this time in 2029.

Virtue signalling continues at Electoral Commission

Received voting check papers yesterday.  For the correct roll.  Shades of "Ziegen Sie uns Ihre Papiere, ja?". 

Good that the title has been changed iaw recent government missives to reduce the size of native wording in title logos.

But some hold-out at the Electoral Commission couldn't resist virtue-signalling by leaving a 'tena koe' remnant in the letter opener.

No sign of the not unusual hardworking interdepartmental a Mr. nga mihi at the end (letter appears to be unsigned - maybe it is a scam?).  Otherwise completely written in English.  Maybe it should be Mrs., maybe a Miss?  One would have to check with our leading light on the gender definitions,  one 'is it a woman?' Mr. C. Hipkins. //

At least it isn't the totally presumptive 'kia ora' present as an opener in so many communications these days.  Thank God, not even a mention of a whanau or a motu whatever they are in this letter.  I live in a country formally named as New Zealand, not in some figment of one's imagination.

What happened to Dear Sir or Dear Madam for a formal letter?  And a signature at the end?

Come on Electoral Commission sort out your virtue-signallers and formally communicate in English.
