She'll be right - it's only the truth

The publically funded ACC is about to bombard us with tales of near misses at our expense in the name of keeping the grim reaper at bay in our rural communities.

ACC is using the true stories of injured farmers who want to help others learn from their mistakes

Pity Granny couldn't also use some truth in reporting the ACC advertising campaign, which I suspect in an election year might be a very necessary expense being 'good for me'.


Yes, Granny has a reasonable article about inherent dangers down on the farm, but then all storyline credibility is ditched, like the tractor in the above picture.

In the incident related to this picture, the farmer was doing everything right and was reported as uninjured after taking evasive action. I remember seeing the whole picture (in the video) and I believe the fault lay with the driver of the other vehicle.

So Granny, do not use cropped pictures that look good in online copy, but do not tell the whole truth.

Rudeness

It’s part of the breakdown in society. We stopped having respect for figures in authority – partly because those in authority didn’t command it.

Worst rudeness listed below,

• Spitting
• Swearing
• Queue jumping
• Not saying please or thank you
• Playing an MP3 in public
• Passing wind/belching in public
• Speaking loudly on a cellphone in public
• Inconsiderate driving
• Not giving up your seat for a pregnant woman
• Not holding the door for the next person
• Update from Keeping Stock: Choosing to speak in your native tongue when you're perfectly capable of speaking English and surrounded by English-speakers

Well said, "more than half of us believe bad manners are the biggest problem – and blame parents for not stamping it out".

Just how many do you indulge us with?

The Great Race

We in Denmark cannot figure out why you are even bothering to hold an election.

On one side, you have a bitch who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer, and a lawyer who is married to a bitch who is a lawyer.

On the other side, you have a true war hero married to a woman with a huge chest who owns a beer distributorship.

Is there a contest here?"

The Ultimate Accessory

Want a real auto accessory that 'takes a licking'?


Seems those making the laws take a different view...

TALLAHASSEE, Florida - Senate lawmakers in Florida have voted to ban the fake bull testicles that dangle from the trailer hitches of many trucks and cars throughout the state. Republican Sen. Cary Baker, a gun shop owner from Eustis, Florida, called the adornments offensive and proposed the ban. Motorists would be fined $60 for displaying the novelty items, which are known by brand names like "Truck Nutz" and resemble the south end of a bull moving north.

One comment sums up the offensive proposer who needs to get a life.

Clearly, the proposer of said law suffers from testicle envy... probably drives a Prius.

Only in USA...

ANZAC Day

Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives,
you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country.

Therefore, rest in peace.

There is no difference between the Johnnies
and the Mehemets to us where they lie side by side in this country of ours.

You, the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries,
wipe away your tears, your sons are now lying in our bosoms and are in peace.

After having lost their lives on this land they become our sons as well.

They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning

We will remember them

"Canute" Brown sticking to the job

I'm sticking to the job and I'm getting on with the job

Just like our very own her indoors, how long will he last? The tide of opposition rises with every hour.

Dear Bastard,

A well written open letter to the EPMU from No Minister expressing disgust at the new homegrown industry which will be rampant under the FTA - Job Exports.

Dear Bastard

When I joined your union, I thought you were my friend. I naively imagined you would be working in my interests but I was wrong. Your organization has turned out to be the architect of my financial ruin as you have sought to put the job security and working conditions of the Labour Party before the wellbeing of me and my fellow workers.

You have taken my union fees and instead of advocating for me you have used my money to work for a Labour Party, comprised largely of overpaid bloated upper class rich pricks, which has willfully boosted government spending on election bribes to such an extent that inflation is now out of control, driving up interest rates which, in turn, have driven up our exchange rate over this past five years to the extent that our employer has been forced to export our jobs in order to remain competitive.

What hurts me most is the realisation that their cavalier and profligate spending went on EVEN THOUGH you and they both knew at the time that your actions would cost me my job. Treasury warned you of the effect on inflation of free student loan interest and working for families. Then you and they pushed all sorts of compulsory cost increases onto my employer - things like Kiwisaver contributions, an extra week's annual leave, maternity leave and others.

Did you never once hold up your hand during one of those cosy Labour Council meetings and advocate for me? Did you not understand that all these so-called extra benefits are worthless if I don't a job? The least you could do now, is to return to me that portion of my union dues you have skimmed off for Labour.

I see your fundamental dishonesty and conflicted loyalties continue as you attempt to register my union as a 'third party' so that you can continue to encourage your friends to destroy more jobs in New Zealand.

Well Mr Little, I hope you are pleased with your work. You have taken my money and now you have taken my job but, my hell, never again will you get my vote.

Yours in disgust

New National Party Member.

All unions would do well to take note. Unions have no place in a modern workforce, aiming for productivity gains.


Well said Adolf.

300m plus to go

Should this piece of scaremongering (based on shonky GoreBull science?) ever come to pass and if the forecast sudden temperature change doesn't kill all via a mass extinction phase, I'll be right mate. At 1000' ASL, 1.5m of higher tides is nothing. Will sort out a few things like low lying cities and the politicians that infest them.

Still a few hundred metres left to high tide before the hordes will come and want to sign up a new foreshore and seabed deal at the beach of the future at my place. Yes, they will have a hard time proving continuous occupation. I suppose there will be a new 22nd Century interpretation of the gravy train to deal with re-worked full and final settlements as current ones are wiped out with each new high tide.

Payment time for self-indulgent ego-centric behaviour

A mouthful for the headline, but the culprit is doing the time. 28 days in fact.

At last a beak who is taking notice of the community hatred of taggers and their non-art.

Update from Scoop:

I think Cindy Kiro needs to re-evaluate her position on this issue because it’s highly inappropriate for the Children’s Commissioner to be at odds with New Zealand’s Justice System

Also MP Ron Mark has given the beak thanks for having a spine.

We are all hurting

My thoughts and prayers are with those grieving in this tragedy.

Liarbour does not believe in greenhouse effects

If you believe that greenhouse gases are a problem ... if you take the issue seriously ... then you should be supportive of nuclear power. New Zealand has a ban on all nuclear power...

As is well known, Liarbour is not supportive of nukes, so greenhouse effect isn't a problem and thus must be bollocks...

Well according to this anyway.

More nonsense in Local Government

Orklund Robbery Company commonly known as the ARC has put up a possible solution up for the local government shakeup. It is heading in the right direction but not far enough and unfortunately still has a Maorimander content.

Calling the new entity 'The Greater Orklund Authority', and like the Orklund City Council proposal before, they want to preserve the status quo for most currently dining at the ratepayer trough. However the ARC proposal ditches the councils, creates 21x community councils and extends their own powers as well as having 3x racially based seats included on top. Far too many - a slash and burn approach is necessary to hack into the bureaucracy. Ditch the Maorimander component, all have the same voting rights.

The only option for Orklund is ONE council, with minimal personnel, for the whole area from Kaiwaka to Bombay. As I have blogged many times before, no matter what you call your parochial territories within, there is only ONE city in JafaLand as far as the rest of NZ and the world is concerned.

Basic areas are Rural North and South, Urban North, South, East and West plus the overarching whole of region. 6x community areas altogether, finish, end of game. One elected member each, chair elected from these members and called Mayor. Local community board feeds input to elected member.

The sooner we get politics and parochialism out of local government nationwide, the better for my wallet as a ratepayer. Impartiality and freedom from central government politics needs to be a necessary component of getting onto a council.

Greg McKeown sums it up better than I can put it

Three councils would leave us with the same set of problems we have today. It would be an ugly compromise Auckland cannot afford the royal commission to make. With one council Auckland will be able to better co-ordinate its long range plans and delivery of the big ticket items, it will also be able to more productively co-ordinate its plans with central government

Have you put in your submission? Do it now!

Useless product

A small pedigree mutt was being treated for fleas, but the owner failed to read the fine print that the product was for mongrels 10Kg and up. End result, on the third dosing, the mutt departed this mortal coil due to poisoning.

At this point, the owner read the fine print and had this to say about the now proven useless product

'Family Meltdown' has wrecked our society

Things like legalising prostitution, civil unions and homosexuality have all dramatically made their mark on our local and global societies, but none so much as the breakdown of families.

A senior judge launched an astonishing attack on the Government today over the fracturing of society.

During a conference speech the judge warned the breakdown of the family would, within 20 years, “be as marked and as destructive as global warming”.

The judge, said that in urban areas family life was “in meltdown or completely unrecognisable”.

He said children born into broken homes were increasingly turning to drink, drugs and crime, and the results were affecting the mental health of parents and children across the country.

Venting his personal views, which he maintained many in the family law profession supported, he added: “In some of the more heavily-populated urban areas of the country family life is, quite frankly, in meltdown or completely unrecognisable.”

“In some areas of the country even including the more urban parts of the sleepy area in which I operate, family life in the old sense no longer exists.

“So I suggest the general collapse of ordinary family life, because of the breakdown of families, in this country is on a scale, depth and breadth which few of us could have imagined even a decade ago.”

“What is certain is that almost all of society’s social ills can be traced directly to the collapse of the family life.”

He said he was not criticising single parents and praised some of them.

A telling note confirming what we already see from one apparently in the know.

Labour always at war with motorist

Continuing on the theme today of Harry's need for a cash income stream after November, coming soon to a place near you...

• Satellites to be used to produce daily itemised accounts for you
  
• Revealed in Labour's controversial road pricing tender docs
• Real concerns on safety of personal info gathered on millions of drivers daily
  
• Daily data sharing of this personal info between agencies for 'analysis'
  
• Charges will vary for example whether you use the car for commuting or shopping
  

As you 'sleepwalk into a surveillance state', this blatant tax grab is coming real soon.

Not quite near here in good old NZ, just around the corner, half a world away.

Be very worried, Liarbour copies all their ideas...
