    It's quite interesting living through this last throw of the dice of a white settler majority.

    Their absolute shitting themselves, then breaking everything that keeps them in power is quite a laugh really.

    Once gone, they will have to embrace a generation of brown kids who won't accept being second class citizens in their own country. Or leave.

    I'm guessing the real racists ones will emigrate to a French colony so they can feel that “power” they are now losing.

    It's all but over, long may the white fragility we have had to suffer under – end with a whimpering spasm it does so well.

      Do you think there are other categories than the white settler majority and the brown kids?

      Genetically, I'm part Asian, part Polynesian and part Anglo (not sure what the exact terms I should be using) In your categorization what does that make me?

      Are my children included in the brown kids you refer to?

        He's referring to the European "settler" group being likely to fall below 50% of the population, so yeah (replaced by a Maori/Polynesian/Asian majority – combinations thereof, including some part European).

          Yes, my family, and that of my partner are a good example. Us "Boomers" are "6 varieties of white bread" – mostly British ancestry. Thanks to some excellent marriages, the next generation is very diverse, mingling with Maori, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Ghanaian.

    A new era dawns – the past 40 years (1984-2023) of budgets beginning with the one of the red-black Douglas. This one further down/along that road/street.

    The closing down sale 159 Willis Street 1984 – abandon all hope, until the revolution comes, we are all “Havana” Olympians this year.

    It will be New Zealand Rugby that will be controlled by the provincial unions for the provincial unions themselves and they have that right

    Rob Nichol explaining how having 3 people with a background in provincial rugby at some time, on a board of 9 to administer the game, is unacceptable to the professional players and their union.

    Given the provincial unions would not even choose the 3 people involved, he seems to have wanted a public surrender of control of the sport to an "overlord class" who knew best.

    Has he even considered the consequence for England of CVC

    At least someone with knowledge of provincial unions would be involved in decision-making as to the future of NPC and Heartland – as per consequences of the NZRU making less money from the professional game while handing money over to Silver Lake each year.

    Past promises to the provincial unions (Silver Lake being good for them). then to make savings to save the professional game payouts to players – gutting the NPC and Heartland rugby.

    Of course he wants either control (players playing overseas and the AB's will be next), or separation/eviction.

    ISIS sans the 72 virgins.

    /

    Russia has suffered somewhere north of a quarter million — possibly approaching a half million — casualties in their war with Ukraine, but there’s nothing to worry about, since their dead troops are getting resurrected! Trust the words of Artemiy Vladimirov, Archpriest of the Russian Orthodox Church.

    Vladimirov played along and replied, “In war, there are no unbelievers! When you are facing physical death, every fiber of your soul comes alive. Right now, there are many wonderful testimonies of Christ’s victory over death. My wife sends me many military testimonies and video clips. Before Lent, I watched a video about one Chinese man who participated in the special military operation. A bullet hit him in the stomach, destroying all of his insides. He died from this and then was resurrected.”

    Vladimirov continued to spin the tale, claiming, “Saint Luke of Crimea appeared to him and completely healed him, his insides were fully restored. He was baptized along with his relatives, all of them are photographed together, dressed in white clothes, baptized into our Orthodox Church.”

      That is a sick perversion of the Good News.

      Down right medieval in tone and execution.

      And a insult to the memory of Saint Luke the Blessed Surgeon.

    Can anyone tell me why Wellington Council led by a Green Party mayor is selling its remaining airport shares to Infratil?

    Back in the day, Winston was prepared to bring down a government over this.

      Wayne did this and then came agreement with government as to Auckland water being able to access long term borrowing, the Wellington Council is increasing rates by 17% (water costs), to impress those who ….

    While TPM wants to set up a Maori parliament the ANC looks set to lose its majority in South Africa.

    In a disappointment to the remnant of the SAL (Victoria University 1981), the PAC is in no position to form a coalition government. Remember SB.
