New Official NZ Language: US English

Can I view a New Zealand Defense Force Personnel file in the Reading Room?

Although many of the New Zealand Defense Force Personnel files held at Archives New Zealand are listed as ‘open access’ these records cannot be released to researchers in the Reading Room. This is because the records contain fragile pieces of microfilm.

DefenSe???  

And I thought that we were still part of the Commonwealth that speak the Queen's English.  Silly me.  

It's bad enough that everything New Zealand has the unofficial additional native tag of Aotearoa added to it, but you guys at Archives NZ really need to use a UK English spell checker.

Never ending parade of homosexuals [updated]

Another homosexual shows himself (or should that be herself?) to the media.   Is there any person in the media/arts that is not bent?
a matter of human rights at its most basic level

Bollocks.  A lot of things are touted as human rights, but in my opinion this is not one of them.  I will (and I suspect many others) never be convinced otherwise that this is nothing but a sordid perversion.







Like any parent ... the first thing he told me was how disappointed he was

The never ending parade of homosexuals outing themselves continues at pace.  With  examples of the sickness of modern PC society such as this 'disappointment', it is no wonder we have kids topping themselves like there's no tomorrow when they can't see proper examples of whether they should be Arthur or Martha.


[updated]

Should include the 'h' word and words like that in a post title every day.  Best hit rate in 24 hours for weeks.  Yes, all lurkers have been over for squiz, but as usual, zero comment.  Such is the blogger's rewards of screaming into the Interweb void.

Now I  know why WOBH has posts on the topic almost daily.  Just to up the hit rate...

385ppm in real proportions, not with super sized greenie hysteria

Natives being shown their place

take a deep breath and count to 10
decisions being challenged by the council are not reviewable by the court as they have been endorsed by Parliament
 
About bloody time the supposedly entitled are to be reminded that their toothless tribunal is not running NZ Inc.

Labour infested with homosexuality


the party has lost its way and been "contaminated" by liberal policy

they are controlled by homosexuals .. a smell that won't go away

Helen Clark ... had infested the party with homosexuality

Long known, but finally someone calls it as it is.  A party of the damned without morals.  Full of wannabee liberal minorities each looking to impart their various decadencies and immoral practices on the populace whilst open to offering bribes in return for your vote.  And trying to cut each other's grass in the process.

Excuse the pun, but that will have buggered the PI vote.  Pity it is the pot calling out the kettle

An aside, the other parties are not immune, for example the unprincipled Nats promoting apartheid would do well to take notice and rid themselves of liberals dragging them from their core principles.

Charity begins at home...

Eight Greenpeace protesters, headed by Lucy Lawless, are being asked to pay $700,000 after pleading guilty earlier this year to illegally boarding the drillship Noble Discoverer in February

About time rabid greenie eco-terrorists were held to account for their illegal actions.

Another example of why Greenpeace is unfit to be called a charity.

Fetid Southland swamp is purged

fire swept through conservation estate but had not threatened homes or property

That will get the local greenie ferals exercised.  No doubt a looming disaster of epic proportion in the minds of some.

Soon we'll hear the sorry saga and requests for taxpayer largesse, especially from the Riverton chapter of the hippies.  And it will be all down to climate change.

Rare birds threatened

Just like the few oiled up birds that washed up oil-soaked in tidal scum courtesy of  RENA that were made out to be the end of the world.  Never a mention of the thousands that perish at the hands of each and every southerly storm.

The only loss was a long-drop toilet

Excellent news!  No real damage then. At least the local cockies should not be blamed for purging the fetid swamp.  Now those adjacent of the landed gentry could get in early and turn it into viable dairy runoff since it has been pre-cleared by natural means.

Shearer bottles it [update]

Failed to discipline the other David.  The bickering will go on till February when the real coup will occur.

And this gutless wonder wants to be the next Prime Minister?

[update] 
Apparently the devil incarnate has been demoted.

Guess who will feature in the pics alongside Shearer every time he makes the news.  You couldn't buy publicity like that if you tried.

Losing the war

By sundown, if papers and the tone of blogs are to believed, today will go down in history as the day the Labour party wrote its own death warrant.

Today the caucus may well have its cake, winning today's battle on the technical exercise of a confidence vote on leadership, demoting the devil incarnate to the back benches.  I do wonder what he's done to soil his copybook.  Dared not to pray to Helen five times a day?

Unfortunately for the ABC clique, rightly or wrongly at the weekend's conference, the unwashed deemed that they also wanted to have an active part of the leadership selection process.  But the clique of old farts is having it's way under the old rules today. 

Meanwhile party membership will languish, maybe even face a revolt with en-masse membership resignations.  The tone suggests the membership is highly annoyed at today's unfolding events and are prepared to use the new rules to their advantage.

Come February, the unshaven one will have done his time on the back benches, rounded up his Satan's little helpers and muster a leadership challenge to rout the ABC clique as the long war is finally won.

An interested observer watching the implosion whilst the ABC clique stuff themselves full of cake.

Long may it continue!

Is that it?

A bribe of a new 'entry level' house for the unwashed dole bludger but potential lefty voter.  A side distraction, the unions and Camp David get manna from heaven via the 40% vote to be had in 79 days.  Or was it 79 hours?

Unbelievable.  Apart from the list of new taxes coming my way, was that it from Labour?  Really?

Looking at the housing bribe:

About 2/3rds in Jafaland = potentially about 70,000 new houses.

Average section say 400m2 = 25x houses per Ha @ say $200K land value each section.

70,000 / 25 = 2800 Ha required. 

Now that's almost 30Km of greenfields, 1Km wide that Loopy Len is going to have to release to evil developers and city sprawl.  Come Monday, when the toxic mist of whatever has been drunk/consumed at the conference, I think not will be the word from Lyin Lens's office.  All he's worried about is his toy train set.

And the cost?  Land for 100,000 houses would be $20 Billion before a single house is built.  Houses at bottom end of rung these days approach $1500/m2, so a 100m2 3-bedroom box is another $150K, so all up, about $35 Billion up the spout.  Be Labour wants to give them away for $30Bn.  Isn't there a law with the IRD for selling goods below market price attract penalty taxes?

But for now that is a mother of an election bribe.  To be paid no doubt, by soaking 'rich pricks' like me.

Will "The next Prime Minister of NZ" get to see Monday?

A standing ovation is usually automatic to welcome the leaders of political parties onto the stage at conferences - although there was applause, only about one third of the audience stood as Mr Shearer walked onstage after Labour MP and MC Jacinda Ardern introduced Mr Shearer as "the next Prime Minister of New Zealand

Very telling.  Obviously the back-biting factions within the party are strong.  Long may it continue.

'Tis the holiday season

Interislander Cook Strait ferry sailings from Saturday, December 1 to Saturday, December 7 are in doubt after the breakdown of pay talks.
Both the Aviation and Marine Engineers Association (AMEA) and the Merchant Services Guild (MSG) had issued strike notices yesterday

Shades of seasons past as the unionised prepare to once again shaft the travelling public.  No doubt the unions will suggest the threat of striking is in keeping with 'good faith' bargaining.

The modern officer: "zero combat experience generals"

Petraeus is a remarkable piece of fiction created and promoted by neocons in government, the media and academia. How does an officer with no personal experience of direct fire combat in Panama or Desert Storm become a division CDR in 2003, man who for 35 years shamelessly reinforced whatever dumb idea his superior advanced regardless of its impact on soldiers, let alone the nation, a man who served repeatedly as a sycophantic aide-de-camp, military assistant and executive officer to four stars get so far? How does the same man who balked at closing with and destroying the enemy in 2003 in front of Baghdad agree to sacrifice more than a thousand American lives and destroy thousands of others installing Iranian national power in Baghdad with a surge that many in and out of uniform warned against? Then, how does this same man repeat the self-defeating tactics one more time in Afghanistan? The answer is simple: Petraeus was always a useful fool in the Leninist sense for his political superiors - Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, and Gates.

The modern military "useful tool" is fully exposed to bright sunlight.  Morally deficient, zero combat experience only intent on brown-nosing to their next promotion.  

Unfortunately the makeup of New Zealand military I fear are no different.

"Economic sabotage" ends in Dunedin

KiwiRail has failed to find a buyer for all of its Hillside manufacturing plant in Dunedin, but has sold the foundry.
The 115 staff at the South Dunedin site were this morning given the grim news that most will be losing their jobs.

Good news as another uneconomic highly unionised workplace is given final notice.  

Companies like POAL are getting good experience at playing the long game with unions.   Who'd want to buy a workplace full of staunch economic saboteurs  unionised these days anyway?

No doubt the local opposition MP will entertain any who might listen with a few bleats and moans for while as her potential voters fade into oblivion.

Mr Invisible: He's still alive!

It seems to me in my electorate banks are gouging, particularly on their overdraft rates, charging about two per cent more than they need to

Amazing!  I'd always thought my local MP was as good as dead.  The only time his name has surfaced in the past four years is on election papers.

Must be fiddling the expense sheet after his recent European junket working out that he's in overdraft on now unclaimable expenses to those rapacious banks.  Banks which are creaming it whilst supposedly covering their risk on over-indebted farmers.

Suppose the next time I'll hear from Mr Invisible will be late 2014 when he's up for renewal of his free pass to the beltway trough.

Hear, Hear!

National party supporters see Labour as the party of Satan out to ‘steal their money’ and ‘raise taxes’

An apt description of the Left.  Can't argue with that.  

Especially pertinent after perusing the remit list for Shearer's Farewell Roast upcoming this weekend.

One rule for them: "that's a little bit over the top"

I'm concerned we are pushing people through enforcement - that's a little bit over the top
Trougher who sits on the race based Maori statutory board of the unelected, consuming vast  and ever increasing amounts of ratepayer wedge and taxes, considers there should be leniency shown to his ilk.  Whilst other taxpayers (read 'white mofos' as one so indelicately put it in recent times ) can continue to fund his undemocratic lifestyle.

he was concerned about the owner of an unregistered and unwarranted car who received a ticket for $360 from a parking warden outside a hospital to which a sick child had been driven from a rural area
The fact that the current law was broken is of no concern.  Looking after 'our people' is the only concern for those in the Griever Maori industry.  Guaranteed that such leniency will soon be a treaty right in the new constitution, being written as you read this, lording it over the upcoming second class citizenry of fairer European extraction.  God help those without the appropriate genes.

As expected

opposition to fracking in New Zealand is being based not on evidence, but on misinformation and emotion .... the technique has been used safely and successfully in New Zealand for more than 20 years

Essential reading for the misinformed and rabid anti-mining greenie nutters here.

The once greatest nation on earth votes for more of the same

About now I'd guess Adolf over at No Minister has cut himself a very large slice of pie.  Humble pie that is.

At least having another four years of the Kenyan illegal will drive home why the once greatest nation on earth needs to rein in its exorbitant spending.  And borrowing which is paying for the vote buying handouts and entitlements.

It is like watching a a slow motion train wreck.  I guess Mitt has just started running again to be the next Pres.

And we pay for this?

When approaching police he had his hand in his pocket, concealing something the police officers thought was a weapon. While Judge Gibson acknowledged it was Taite's intention to give the officers the impression he had a gun, he was discharged on the two charges of presenting ... as if it were a firearm as he had not at any point actually deployed it.

Judge Gibson agreed there were threats made by Taite.

"Consequently the evidence satisfies me that the defendant did make threats to the officers in the way described, namely statements that he had a gun and threats to kill them."
 
Wanted thug for all intents presents a weapon at night whilst being warned Mr Plod is armed and continues to advance with menace, so Mr Plod drops him.  He complains about being shot and the beak lets him off.  

One really wonders why taxpayers continue to fund the true criminals that are resident in the fancy seat on the other side of the bench.

IMMEDIATE: Tin foil hats required!

Spotted this very morning, an utterance from a rabid feral on the InterWeb:


Irradiation is not safe.

Irradiated food has been nuked with evil ionising radiation!  The sky will apparently fall if we import some juicy tomatoes from tropical Queensland.

But there's some sense from the font of knowledge that is Wikipedia.



Food undergoing irradiation does not become any more radioactive than luggage passing through an airport X-ray scanner or teeth that have been X-rayed.

Some of the more fervid no doubt might posit there's a conspiracy afoot in the report Wikipedia references. 

I'd suggest that the Chicken Little in residence over at FrogBlog needs to dispense tinfoil hats post haste.  After all, the ionising radiation pouring from cosmic rays, x-rays, cellphones and the like must also be stopped.  Whilst on the subject, I do wonder how much cumulative radiation has amassed in the green MP 'Ronald' Hughes from rushing around the country's airport scanners.

Drill it, Mine it, Sell it - Shares for sale!

Danger Alert

The only danger is more of the same crap from the local anti-frackers in my letter box.  Must be a full moon at present.

But there's some good amongst the drivel emanating from the rabid...

Potential for thousands of wells in East Coast Basin

The only thing of use on today's missive is the link where to buy shares at www.tagoil.com/investors.  However, I do note that they've gone upmarket this time with a 2-colour A4.  Just hope they're not being funded through the council.


From the horses mouth,

Target tight oil source rock formations in the East Coast Basin and unlock a multi-billion barrel resource potential.

Drill it, Mine it, Sell it!
