"... the system is working..."

"... the system is working..." says her indoors on Te News tonight.

As some West and South Jafalander sheeple today rush to get tested after following an erroneous online message.

An overstayer and you want a Chinese Plague test on the NZ taxpayer?  I guess  Dawn Raids will now commence to rout those illegal aliens long resident in our communities.  Thought not - no votes in that.

System working?  Not in my book - once again she is lying to us!

FNDC catches a rampant disease

The Far North District Council has caught the STV disease for forthcoming elections.

Like MMP, STV is a disease where minorities get to wag the tail of democracy.

And like with the chronic disease of wards for the un-elected of a certain make and model, we get to petition the council to remain on FPP possibly averting this unwanted outbreak.

SFO report imminent?

Hope the SFO hasn't changed the scheduled delivery date on the murky dealings of the Winston First Foundation even though her indoors has delayed the election date.

"Killing the Greens"

Climate change is the luxury fear people wear on their sleeves when they can afford it. It’s a piece of fashion. Optional and discarded at a moments notice.

when the pandemic ends—or at least is suitably controlled—American adults say they’ll behave in ways that would increase their carbon footprint. According to our survey, we’ll drive as much as we did before, take public transportation less, bicycle or walk less, buy more clothes, and have more stuff packaged up and shipped to our homes. And most of us plan to jack up the home AC and heat even more than we already have

It’s taken two decades of relentless advertising to achieve mass compliance and new habits, but just a few months to be reminded of how convenient some things are. The pandemic gave people permission to break the old rules.

Amen to that!  Now can we get rid of the carbon tax rort?

NZ 0 : Chinese Plague 1

New Zealand stands as a cautionary tale about the nature of coronavirus: 

No matter how hard you try to fight the virus by smashing businesses, civil liberties, and lives, the thing always seems to find a way to come back.

Ain't that the truth!  St Jacinda's elimination strategy was bound to fail.

Let it rip, the Chinese plague will bowl less than those killed annually by flu.  If your card has already been marked by other pre-existing conditions, tough luck.

It couldn't happen here?

EPA staff covered up and lied about the failed science review of the 2012-2013 Yakima nitrate report

EPA staff lying and covering up a failed peer review for a controversial and damaging science study. The 2012-2013 Yakima Nitrate Report was used by EPA Region 10 to coerce four dairy farms into signing a punitive consent order and then used by an environmental attorney to impose even more costly and unjustified measures on the farms

EPA staff lied about the study’s peer review process. “This study was categorized as ‘influential science information’ which requires an extensive independent peer review. It never received that kind of review and when farmers called EPA staff on this critical failure, they lied claiming it was not categorized as influential but a lower level that didn’t require peer review. The internal emails make it crystal clear they lied about the categorization and lied defending their failed review.”

Now the EPA are trying to run the clock on the lawsuit to protect their arses.

Imposed costs and unjustified measures on dairy farms wouldn't happen here in little old NZ.

Would it? 

an "amoral, hideous thought"

the lives of elderly people should be "offered up" to avoid hardship were an "amoral, hideous thought" 

Scomo has a conscience.

Unlike those here in NZ where we soon get the vote to allow your doped up grandkids to murder their Granny.
