Scott at Imperator Fish kindly lets us syndicate his posts. This one is originally here.
The New Zealand Taxpayers’ Union is outraged at the scandalous behaviour of Auckland mayor Len Brown.
The people of Auckland deserve better than a mayor who spends public money discharging his bodily wastes.
Every time Len Brown goes to the toilet he is flushing away ratepayer money. Who pays for the water? The toilet paper our mayor uses? We do! Well not us, because we’re not even Auckland based, and we know as much about Auckland as we pretend to know about Dirty Politics. But this is quite literally money down the drain.
Len Brown needs to front up and come clean. He owes the Auckland ratepayers answers to the following questions:
The Auckland ratepayers are paying a heavy price for their mayor’s shameless toilet urges. Len Brown could choose to just hold on whenever he feels the urge to go to the bathroom, as there really is no need for someone in the public eye to even utilise a toilet. Being utterly full of excrement has never stopped any member of the New Zealand Taxpayers’ Union from making a valuable contribution to public life.
The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...

The site will be off line for some hours.

Skewered.
Great we want too know, can we tax payers have a live cam feed to Browns toilet.
So that’s what the 24 hour warrantless surveillance bill was for!
We’ve already got a live Cameron’s take on Slater’s toilet. Isn’t one stream of effluent enough?
“A camera in every loo!” – SIS campaign, with backing from GCSB & strong support from NSA. No warrants required.
…are they going to get into the photography of …peoples’ bums….pornography and blackmailing business then?
…will people be breeding and buying BIG dogs to protect themselves and their privacy?
…what do you do if you find a snoop snooping? ( after-all farmers dont like snoops snooping around on their properties)…what if you find one in your wardrobe or under your bed?….will he have an ID?…how do you distinguish a snoop from a burglar or a sexual predator?…….can you take photographs of the snoops?…what if the snoop does more than just snoop?
Warranted surveillance ( as opposed to UNwarranted) protects both the snoop and the New Zealander being surveilled…this is a fantastically poorly thought out BILL!…or is it just designed to be intimidation?
“will people be breeding and buying BIG dogs to protect themselves and their privacy?”
This used to work very well for the IRA, dogs would constantly disrupt OBS on members
news-flash:..mayor gets ensuite-toilet..
..taxpayers’ union asks:..’why can’t he just use a plastic-bucket..?
..and a bunch of leaves..?’
..and:..’can we have video-surveillance in there..
..to make sure he doesn’t toss one off on the ratepayers’ dime/time..?’
what a lot of crap
Thanks for your input. Would you like to elaborate?
think about it…
(or not)
Oh. But he forgot to capitalise at the start and didn’t punctuate at the end.
I thought it was a low-brow tory.
It just seems unbelievable that any real news org would reprint a word the Taxpayers Union says, its like living in a parallel universe.
Is it 1984 yet, can the spooks watch me using the TV?
“can the spooks watch me using the TV?”
I believe that bill passed this evening: http://www.3news.co.nz/nznews/counter-terrorist-bill-passed-by-parliament-2014120922
Officially, “That surveillance will be restricted to activity relating to foreign fighters”, but a ‘foreign fighter connection’ can easily be patched in.
re “a ‘foreign fighter connection’ can easily be patched in”
‘Thought Police’…must NOT think impure thoughts or invite any Muslims home to play… or dinner…must NOT think or talk about the Middle East…steer clear of anyone with a veil at the vege market…..pathetic
We only have their word for it cos, well, it depends on what you mean by “foreign” and “fighter”
The term “Taxpayers’ Union” screams conflict and unresolved issues in this day and age where the government and taxpayers bash unions and workers as a matter of course.
How is the Taxpayers Union going achieving its objectives?
“… We are ambitious for the Taxpayers’ Union. Our aim is to become the largest union in New Zealand, achieving over 50,000 members and supporters. We can only achieve this with your help. Please go to our website, like our facebook page, follow us on Twitter. You can subscribe to our newsletter, join as a member and perhaps most importantly donate to us. We are reliant 100% on membership fees and donations from supporters. We do not get any Government funding, and never will.
Some of our initial projects will include:
Promote an ‘Armchair Auditors Act’, modelled on legislation enacted in some U.S. states, where all transactions over a de minimis amount are searchable on an online database;
Identify and expose the most flagrant examples of government waste;
A campaign against taxpayer funded corporate and union welfare;
Expose and halt the significant public funding that lobby groups receive to campaign and lobby government for pet policy and law changes;
Promote legislation requiring local referenda for any increase in real per capita rates
Promote legislation strengthening the Official Information Act. …” Kiwiblog owner David Farrar 2013
So far they seem a bit fixated on Len Brown.
The ironic thing is,
a) the
TeabaggersTax-wasters ‘Union’ is not a union, it’s DPF and some other nutjobb) DPF, Whale, and their handlers are ultimately funded by … TAX dollars, if they went away we would all be better off
c) if they actually cared about saving $$$ they’d promote buses; but they are silent on superhighways
d) one of the NACToids first acts as Government was to rush through the super city way ahead of schedule, making the mergers a lot more painful and expensive
e) the new, single Council office building is a huge cost saving over their previous 5 scattered locations … and further skewering linked here
and were aiming for 50000 members. that may have been a lie of course
How do these lying bastard snotgobblers ever get to justify their right to taxpayer dollars We should just do to them like drug dealers get in Asia
