I don't need to say anything Bloke, the content is pretty clear isn't it?  However you seem to want to attack the messengers rather than take in the message. Hopefully some of it will filter through to you though. :rolleyes:  

Run out of fairy dust yet. :) 

Take the message? Shit Ted your cut and pastes are so long you would need to have a lie down if you tried to read them.  In fact they are longer than the shit  cut and pasted by the Wacko right wingers on the Trump Forum

Snowflake? That's a saying the Wackos use as well. Do you also play the bango ?

 

What's a bango Bloke. :rcf-laughing-2:

Both the Collins Dictionary and the Financial Times had "Snowflake" as one of the words of the year in 2016.

A term used to describe someone deemed too emotional to cope with views that challenge their own and genuinely distressed by ideas that run contrary to their own world view. When confronted with the harsher realities of life they react with intolerance towards people and things they believe may offend someone or toward people who have a different political opinion. De-platforming controversial speakers is a tactic that they like to use.

Snowflakes are horrified when they hear an opinion they don't like and feel they should be protected from it. These snowflakes who are fragile,  easily offended and unable to deal with opposing views believe they have a right to be protected from anything that upsets them.

We now have universities (Massey last week) hostile towards free speech determined to protect students from ideas they may not like and also creating "safe-places" or areas where people cannot disagree or challenge their ideas. 

At one student meeting clapping was banned in case it caused "trauma" and asked people to wave silent "jazz-hands" instead. 

Harden up Bloke or alternatively make yourself a "snowflake safe place" by not looking at this thread.

Oh so now you are googling Ted!    "Snowflakes are horrified when they hear an opinion that they don't like"   That's you Ted with Jacinda. She has wound you up so much that you have lost the plot.

Jacinda really can do it all

PM Jacinda Ardern

She’s graced the cover of Vogue magazine. She has boosted the sales of Allbirds tenfold. She wrote the forward for Helen Clark’s new book. She has had a baby, took only 6 weeks off, and manages to juggle work and motherhood at the same time. She has scolded the Australians on their attitude towards refugees. She has has a wonderful trip to Europe, meeting foreign heads of state, and even attending a dinner at Buckingham Palace and now she is writing for The NZ Herald. quote:

Prime Minister  Jacinda Ardern will be the guest editor of the New Zealand Herald‘s 125th Suffrage edition, to be published on September 19.

The commemorative edition will mark the anniversary of New Zealand women winning the right to vote on September 19, 1893, becoming the first country in the world to do so.

“It’s a huge honour to be asked to guest edit the Suffrage 125 anniversary edition of the New Zealand Herald. It’s an assignment I’m approaching with a great sense of responsibility,” Ardern said.

“To try and summarise 125 years of women’s experience in one issue of the newspaper is an impossible task, but I’m planning at least to ensure that the edition covers where we’ve been, where we are right now, and where we’re going.”

Herald Premium Content Editor Miriyana Alexander said the Prime Minister was a fitting guest editor for the occasion. The pair have started planning and Alexander said Ardern was full of great story ideas.

“The Prime Minister is going to roll her sleeves up and write some pieces, and is pursuing some great interview subjects. She will also be in the Herald newsroom on the night to join our team in putting the paper to bed. end quote.

 

Good on her. This is a momentous occasion indeed. It is absolutely appropriate that someone who has benefited enormously from all the trailblazing women in the world and is now the first ever premier to take maternity leave should front this. What an achievement.

But I have just one question, although admittedly, it is a small one.

When exactly are you going to get on with the job of being prime minister of New Zealand? You know, that job we pay you about half a million dollars a year to do?

How are you going with lifting every child out of poverty, Jacinda? Have you achieved that yet? Because, during the election campaign, you stated that child poverty was the sole reason you decided to go into politics. So, now that you have the chance, have you waved your magic wand and made it go away?

Of course not.

It is funny, but over the last 2 or 3 winters, we saw nothing else other than pictures of people sleeping in cars and heard harrowing tales of the misery among low-income families in New Zealand. This year – nothing.

This year, the Auckland City Mission has distributed more food parcels than EVER before in its 98-year history. Food parcels distributed in Masterton are also at record highs. It doesn’t sound as if you have solved any sort of poverty yet, Jacinda. If anything, I would say that poverty is worse now than it was a year ago.

Housing is also worse than it ever was. During the election campaign, there was going to be this amazing new concept called Kiwibuild, which would magically produce all these wonderful houses for people on low incomes in no time at all. But here we are, a year later, without one single house completed, and to qualify for a Kiwibuild house, a young couple will need an income of over $120,000 per annum.

So that’s not doing much for child poverty either, is it?

And exactly what does hiking fuel taxes do for people on low incomes? Let me tell you what it does. It pushes up the price of everything. We are all noticing prices in the supermarket slowly increasing, but this hits the poor hardest of all.

And now that business confidence is falling, the dollar has dropped, which will mean imports will become more expensive… which will push fuel prices up even further. And this will hit people on low incomes once again, and those children you were so keen to help will be worse off, once again.

But all that is okay, isn’t it Jacinda, because, by your own judgement, we must be doing well here in New Zealand because we are still doing better than Venezuela at the moment. So that is something, isn’t it?

I don’t know how you sleep at night All you have done since you came into power is pose for photos, throw taxpayers money around the Pacific, swan off to Europe and take maternity leave. In the meantime, the lives of these people and particularly those children that you profess to care so much about just get harder and harder every day. Thanks to you.

But never mind about that. You just go ahead and spend your time writing editorials for newspapers. I asked our excellent researcher, Sally, to find out how many other politicians have written newspaper editorials in their time, and the answer came back… that none have.

This is because responsible politicians know they have a job to do and spend at least some of their time trying to do it.

But don’t you worry your pretty little head about that, Jacinda. There’s a trip to New York and the U.N. coming up. You can start packing for that as soon as you’ve got your newspaper articles out of the way.

But I’ll just leave you with one final thought.

Food for thought, isn’t it?

Simon Bridges is not going well Ted. He reminds me of Joe 90 and he is rating well behind Jacinda. Gee I bet that winds you up Ted. Next cab off the rank is between Crusher and  Benefit

Now that is a true dilemma.

you make it out as though.... this has come as a result of the Labour Party over the past 7months.

Lets be honest, and take a good look at whats occurred in America... where for years America was in a crumbling decline..

surely you would agree.. much of Nz and its economic&social downturns have over time been eroded by previous governments, and to some degree by international governments.

it has come to the point where we are now recognising the symptoms of a unhealthy country... its laughable how we blame the current government and forget the previous governments for their efforts at chipping away on our once solid foundation.

 

the pendulum will swing national then labour and back again, to and fro.... and Nz will be in no better position until... Its people and its leaders turn back to God and his principles, and removing all unrighteous laws

Unrighteous Laws?

No surprises victims are fuming with Little’s catch and release plans

by CS
 

Andrew-Little-facealm.jpg?w=619&ssl=1

Victims of crime are fuming about Andrew Little’s soft on crime conference:

The mother of a murdered three-year-old girl said she could not hold back the tears after hearing about a Māori woman saying Europeans could not know what it was like to be victims of crime at the Government’s criminal justice summit.

In 1997 Luke Frederick Sibley – then 18 – suffocated and strangled Brittany Crothall, 3, while she slept at her home in New Brighton, Christchurch.

He then entered the bedroom of the toddler’s mother, Jayne Crothall, and attacked her with a hammer and a knife.

Crothall said Brittany, who was part Māori, would have turned 25 on Wednesday making the underlying prejudice all the more painful to hear.

She said another victim – whose sister was murdered – was told she was “white and privileged”  – both messages leaving Crothall in tears and her blood boiling on day one of the summit in Porirua on Tuesday.

“This is a horrendous summit for victims – we’ve been re-victimised. There’s been a lot of racist comments,” she told the 500-odd gathered experts, academics and advocates, victims, ex-prisoners and frontline justice workers.

Crothall said the long-term overhaul of the criminal justice system – the aim of the summit – was obviously a complex task but there was too much blame, a lot of excuses and too many voices of academics and experts rather than victims.

 

That is despicable racism that wouldn’t be tolerated if reversed. But somehow it is OK to slag off white people in New Zealand now. Worse, the minister excuses it.

The summit began in earnest in Porirua on Tuesday with questions over whether Māori were being fairly represented given their high prison numbers.

It has also met with scepticism from justice system insiders as well as National Party leader Simon Bridges who said it would be nothing more than a talkfest.

When asked whether he credited Crothall’s suggestion the summit was racist towards Europeans, Justice Minister Andrew Little said he didn’t think it was racist.

Little said he had heard Crothall’s concerns and said the Government knew the country had a criminal justice system where Māori made up 51 per cent of the prison population.

Little said that was a challenge that needed to be taken seriously and dealt with.

The forum is a disgrace, and falling apart. Last week sopping wet, crim-hugging, liberal panty-waist Roger Brooking was slamming it. Now victims are slamming it.

The challenge is to get Maori to stop committing crime, then they won’t be the largest race in prison. Unfortunately this government is looking at the whole issue ass-backwards.

We don’t need or want a criminal friendly system. We want bad bastards locked up for a good long time.

The day Wellington ran out of Soy milk

by Orinjamba 
 

Screen-Shot-2013-03-18-at-4_26_05-PM.png

It was freezing cold in the middle of an icy winter of discontent. A howling southerly gale whipped its way through the streets and narrow passageways, on the day Wellington ran out of Soy milk.

 

At first, all that was felt by the early morning café goers was a mixture of bewilderment and slight frustration. On their way to work, they had no time to truly understand the massive ramifications of what was happening to them.

Some brave souls even deigned to ask for real milk, from a cow, at the risk of ire from their fellow Champagne socialists.

But then it became apparent that real milk was also off the menu, due in no small measure to the Labour party’s continued onslaught on the Dairy industry.

As the morning wore on and the bitter tasting Long Blacks ran dry, the Twitter feed began to indicate a growing sense of unease and confused anger.

“How could this happen?”

“Who was to blame?”

#wheresmysoy?

A rumour began to circulate amongst the Lambton Quay offices that a freight truck containing all of the desperately needed Soy, had been held up in the Auckland CBD due to a cycle user demonstration demanding universal and exclusive cycle lanes.

Mayor Phil Goff had made a vain attempt at assuaging the Lycra clothed mob but had been overwhelmed and tied up to a set of traffic lights with bike chains and inner tubes.

The rumblings of discontent in Wellington grew as the day wore on until the final spark was thrown onto the embers of outright revolution.

The Prime Minister, aware of the growing discontent, went on live television with the belief that only she could avert the growing crisis.

As her hands waved frantically in desperation she tried to soothe the savage mob with words of unity and togetherness.

“Sometimes radical change takes a long time” she earnestly cried out.

One small and anonymous voice amongst the growing crowd of civil servants and retail assistants was heard to utter:

“Hang on. That’s a contradictory statement isn’t it?”

Someone else in the crowd with the truth slowly dawning on them was heard to reply:

“Yes…yes it is!”

The mood of the disgruntled masses swiftly turned into outright hostility as they emptied out into the streets, steadily making their way towards the Beehive.

As the rushing mob approached they were able to gain access with ease, as the security guards were absent that day due to being on strike.

Panic soon spread throughout the corridors of parliament.

Trevor Mallard strode out of his office and, standing in front of the seething masses was heard to demand “Order!”

He was quickly overcome by a trans-gender juice bar assistant, who tackled him to the ground.

The next figure the enraged mob turned its attention on was the Education Minister Chris Hipkins who was chased down a long passageway until he was finally cornered and captured.

His head was shaved by an enraged Men’s hair stylist who then proceeded to march him to the nearest whiteboard: ordering him to write out “I am a Gunt” one million times.

The entire Green Party caucus was found hiding amongst the ferns of the Parliament garden.

As they realised the game was up, Julie Anne Genter looked over at her male counterparts and for the first time in her life wondered aloud:

“Where are some strong, meat-eating men when you need them?”

The Green party caucus was tied up, gagged, and then loaded into the back of an articulated lorry which was driven to the nearest airport, where they were put on a plane for a one-way flight to Venezuela in order to carry out a ‘fact-finding’ mission.

Phil Twyford locked himself in his office and made a fort for himself out of the cushions from his couch. Placing his hands over his ears and closing his eyes he muttered to himself over and over”

“There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home.”

By this time the mob had completely taken over the Beehive and Parliament buildings, all the while screaming:

“Where’s our Soy! Where’s our Soy!”

The Prime Minister had been ushered to the very topmost floor and helped into the confines of a Royal New Zealand Air Force helicopter in a moment of ‘Saigonesque’ irony.

As the twin Rolls-Royce Turbomecca engine of the French made NH90 spewed forth noxious fumes over the waters of Port Nicholson, towards its intended destination of Soames Island, the Prime Minister looked down at the waters below.

She could barely make out the rather cumbersome and desperate figure of a plump Grant Robertson as he slowly edged his way towards the safety of the island ahead. All the while clinging on to any floating debris or garbage close at hand, finally settling on a single-use plastic shopping bag to aid his buoyancy.

Upon arrival at the island, the Prime Minister was ushered into one of the buildings close by.

Collecting her thoughts she gazed out of the window, to the distant city beyond: all the while wondering what the big deal was.

After all, she didn’t even like Soy milk in her coffee.

Her preference had always been for Almond milk.

Just more virtue signaling and posturing nonsense from the PM:  

Soon there will be a ‘50% women’ quota for the All Blacks

by Deb 
 
All-inclusive-Blacks.jpg?resize=630%2C34

All inclusive All Blacks

Watch out New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern is coming for your rugbyQuote: 

Rugby needs to be more inclusive, particularly of women, to be fully deserving of the title of New Zealand’s national sport, the Prime Minister says.  End of quote.

You’re a bit late Jacinda. Rugby is already our national sportQuote:

Talking to a packed conference room at New Zealand Rugby’s first ever Women in Governance Conference in central Auckland this morning, Jacinda Ardern said rugby needs to “be a game for everyone, and that includes women“.
“For me if rugby is going to include us as women it should represent us equally, and have a relationship with us equally, both as players and spectators, and that means, as it does with every area of life, including women fairly, giving women the opportunity to excel, paying them appropriately, and providing leadership opportunities,” Ms Ardern said.[…]  End of quote.

Um … she does know that we have the Black Ferns right?  Quote:

The Black Ferns are New Zealand’s senior women’s rugby team and the most dominant team in women’s rugby with Women’s Rugby World Cup titles in 1998, 2002 2006, 2010 and 2017. They have one of the best winning percentages in international rugby, with victory in close to 90 percent of their Tests.  End of quote.

So we have a women’s team and a men’s team, which represents us equally – women and men.  I’m sure if the alphabet people wanted to make up a National rugby team, they would be welcome to do so.  We could have an LGBTQI Players of Colour team.

The question would be, who would want to watch it?  Who would pay for broadcasting rights? Who would pay for advertising during their matches, and would they command the same fees as men’s rugby?

Because once again, our Prime Minister demonstrates her complete lack of understanding about supply and demand.

The All Blacks are paid appropriately based on the market – how big the crowd is that they can pull, both at the sports field and via television.  Because that’s what generates revenue in ticket sales, advertising and broadcasting rights.

I’m fully supportive of us having a women’s rugby team, but the reality is that the interest is just not there in the same way that it is for men’s rugby. I doubt it ever will be because rugby is a blokes sport, played by blokes, and watched mostly by blokes.  That’s just the way it is.

Unless she means … surely she couldn’t mean … not seriously … that the All Blacks should represent us equally?  Is she thinking about a 50/50 quota for the All Blacks ?

Well even I know that there are 15 players in a team.  How to solve that?  Maybe have 7 men and 7 women and 1 intersex.  Yes, I’m being completely ridiculous, because her stupid statements deserve to be mocked as the virtue signalling nonsense that they are.

But wait, there’s more, the cherry on the top of virtue signalling phrases: inclusivenessQuote:

[…] She called on rugby to use its “power, influence and reach” to promote inclusiveness of and respect for women across New Zealand – not just in sport – and said she hoped for a day when women’s sport was just called sport.

“[The Black Ferns] are incredible rugby players, they are incredible athletes, they are not incredible women rugby players, they are not incredible women athletes, they are just incredible rugby players and athletes,” Ms Ardern said.[…]  End of quote.

That’s a whole lot of incredibles in one sentence.  Perhaps we could chip in and buy her a thesaurus.

Enough frivolity, let’s put aside the players for a moment and tune our attention to the spectators?  She also said that rugby should have a relationship with us equally, both as players and spectators.

Oh no, what could that mean? Is she signalling that she means to apply quotas to the crowd, so the spectators are represented 50/50?

Will women be forced along to watch so we can put a check mark in the equality box?  Maybe you will only be allowed to buy a ticket for a couple, no singles allowed.  None of this going along with your mates for a night out, unless half of you are prepared to dress in drag.

Yes prime minister, I can see that happening.
