The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
The site will be off line for some hours.
Something that needs fixing in NZ it seems to me, possibly even more than the "voices" who spend hours venting about "freedom of speech" and "gun control" on line are the warped perceptions of some "everyday" NZers.
It all reminds me of a similar campaign when a Maori emersion school was planned for Bethlehem, where I live, that opened in 2012, sadly to exactly the same sort of negative pre-judgement and quite along local campaign to stop it's construction.
Emergency housing, much needed in Tauranga, has some locals still determined to be NIMBY's till the bitter end, possibly due to having nothing better to do. The attached link shows the news story where their "fears" and angst continue despite the story stating that conditions of conduct are applied to residents and are to be increased to sooth the "concerns" of, some – but not all – local residents.
Sadly the scrutiny being placed on the residents of the emergency housing also sees some of them uncomfortable and wanting to leave, that would be fine if it was not due to the pitchfork mentality of some of those in the surrounding area and they had other better reasons and options to leave. Police have stated that there are no more events of any criminal nature or disturbance than there are elsewhere in the area.
The fact is that since the local school here opened after long and concerted efforts by the "locals", who predicted a massive wave of crime and vandalism, the school has operated for the past seven years as a seamless part of the community with absolutely none of the mayhem predicted.
The on-line screeching about "rights", probably by those who would be the first to abuse them, is bad enough but people taking petty fears and perceived problems into the community does nothing to better the lives of NZersor themselves.

Of course, it never registers with said NIMBYs that they themselves are only one major health or financial (or both) disaster away from needing emergency accommodation themselves…
Ae! Or when, if they're ever forced to 'cash up', they could be in serious shit. The banks, their employers no longer their friends. In some cases the ignominy of bankruptcy and the realisation their phallus ain't quite so grand as first thought.
It's at that point they usually start screaming for MUMMY or gummint intervention.
Sounds like an excellent place to build a prison, what with all that public spiritedness.
I so wish that the local paper who are peddling this story were made to go back and interview all the naysayers of the school predicting mayhem pre-2012. The funny thing is I know some of them by name, 3rd-hand, their children were sort of pre-teen then and things have, I hear, not been particularly easy or straighforward with them "growing up", the very typical "people in glass houses" that you speak of.
Nothing quite like watching a prisoner almost bleed out to make you appreciate not having serious mental health issues
I and, by extension, all correction officers don't get paid enough…mind you neither do EMTs either
But how was everyone elses night 😉
Hi PR, speaking of underpaid workers, just having a chat with my significant other after a shift at ED.
One of the people she dealt with was a profoundly deaf man with mental health issues. After a family harm incident, he has been forbidden from entering a local town. While this town is where the alleged harm occurred, it is also where his only other support (parents) is.
After two nights in the cells he is 'released', no money, transport, food or winter clothing. He was treated for an old injury and then went and sat outside the hospital in light cotton clothing. At 1am, he comes back in, shivering, hungry and depressed.
Long story short, he sleeps on the floor of ED under a blanket until the mental health social worker can sort something out.
The solutions are not cheap nor simple and I feel that things are getting more severe especially in the realm of mental ill-health.
BTW, big ups to you and your colleagues for doing the job you do in what must be under more and more trying circumstances.
National and Labour have both dropped the ball on this and should be ashamed of themselves over this
It'd be…educational for an MP or two to spend sometime on the sharp end and actually see for themselves what a self harm incident looks like
Bet that'd get things moving in a hurry 🙂
Yep some tough jobs out there looking after the most vulnerable. Good that prison guards feel stuff too as too easy to be desensitised and cruel.
Hi PR. I fear you're right about salaries not covering the horrific jobs that need to be done, let's hope one day we achieve salaries befitting the work involved. In the mean time I hope they have meaningful assistance for staff confronting these issues and that you avail yourself of them. Rest up well before your next shift.
My night was a very cushy number, thanks. However, my first thought on reading your comment wasn't "Oh we aren't paying prison guards enough," but "Why are we using prisons as storage facilities for people with serious mental health issues?"
Because our management team gets paid more than enough, pretty much regardless of results.
Why not both? 🙂
My observation is it comes down to mostly because there's not enough spaces for the prisoners in wards so they get sent to corrections and, through the grapevine, sometimes they won't be taken because the prisoners are to violent
Why not both?
Indeed, the two are not mutually exclusive – and they'd certainly have to pay me a lot of money to work in Corrections, for which they wouldn't get value for money because I'd almost certainly be hopeless at it (unless prisoners are easily swayed by people who use a lot of big words in convoluted sentences, but that feels somewhat unlikely).
Well you better hope national and in particular collins or mitchell never get near power or prisons will get stuffed fuller and staffed cheaper. Serco on steroids is where those nut jobs would take us.
Its nothing to do with Serco and all to do with National gutting mental health, Labour continuing it and neither parties doing what needs to be done.
Which is building more psychiatric wards so instead of winding up prisoners because there's no spaces for them anywhere else.
Serco is a red herring or at the very least it's an issue can be looked at later
National gutting mental health, Labour continuing it and neither parties doing what needs to be done.
SSDD
Yup
This all goes back to deinstitutionalization back in the 1980's and 90's.
You a Union member PR?
Not sure what that has to do with it yes but yes I'm a member of CANZ
"correction officers don't get paid enough"
Probably so – and what you and the prisoner experienced sounds terrible. I would note though, that you are able to form the thought that "correction officers don't get paid enough" only because you have some underlying notion of 'value' that is not the same as the exchange (dollar) value that is obtained in the market. i.e. the money you get does not accurately represent the value of what you do. And this is true in general and in both directions – markets actually reward people rather perversely from the standpoint of the 'real' value they produce. We will make a lefty out of you yet PR.
Well it's in the middle contract negotiations now so we better get a decent offer or we might start getting a bit bolshei 🙂
Um – does that mean you are going to do a ballet dance for us, PR? Or did you mean bolshy? If that is why the smiley face is there, nice one, and please post the video.
I do look good in tights…
Looking forward then, old boy.
Wait a minute – you think JC looks good, don't you?
I think I might reserve judgement.
"Bleed out" Yes terrifying. My husband is on blood thinners and tore a gash in his calf.
The bleeding continued for 5 days of Dr and Hospital visits. Last night was our first with no bleeding and we slept with exhaustion.
No Puckish Rogue, you are not paid enough!! And I had only one person to care for. Cheers!!.
re: Govt. Gun Registration plans, good idea, but keep an eye on the opponents perhaps.
NZ gun lobby group COLFO (Council of Licensed Firearms Owners) has been making early noise about the Govt. plans. COLFO is a member of the World Forum for the Future of Sport Shooting, which in turn is linked to the NSSF (National Shooting Sports Foundation) US, which is linked to The Firearms Industry Trade Association, US, and the NRA (National Rifle Association) US.
The NSSF has a policy of not linking to third parties such as NRA but it is clear that there is a connection. One site I looked at offered discounted membership to NRA.
So the NZ COLFO fronted by Nicole Mckee
https://fss.nz/nicole-mckee/ is linked to the gun manufacturers and retailers

When I recently renewed my license I was given the option to voluntarily register my rifles which I did . So it should be easy to know who to go find .

I learnt a lot of new things.When listening to the most comprehensive history of tRump I'd found on the web … delivered with mocking humor
One was that Rump always stiffed small businesses and sub-contractors who worked for him …
Starting right at the beginning, on his first construction site … he kept $100,000 due to already underpaid non-union polish workers … and he's done it to everyone since.
He apparently gets mad when any of his managers … pay out the agreed upon price to contract workers… paying the quoted and accepted price… gives the don the shits..
His method was / is to retain the last payment …and tell them to sue, … they would be told it would take years of expensive legal battling … and if they lost or pulled out, they would be bankrupted. by having to pay trumps expensive lawyers fees …
It's a mugs game for Small businesses or individuals taking on a corporation with multi-million funds … rich bullies know litigation is a rich mans game.. and so rich wankers use this against the 'lesser' people that they effectively steal from.
A recent comparable example in NZ …. was the Nact government telling Pike River families "they could sue" ,,, in response to pathetic compensation from the Nact Govt ,,, despite the Govts part in regulatory failure leading to the disaster ,,, and the Govt receiving millions in Insurance payouts for the mass killing 'accident'. http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/west-coast/9399690/PM-avoiding-Pike-River-payout
In a final grubby insult,, Nact trolls tried to smear / blame Andrew Little for the neo-lib, non-compliant, non-regulated, free-market death trap that was Pike River….a lie that shows total disregard for the safety of mine workers … as it seeks to hide the failures / lessons that need to be corrected.
Its the sort of shameful thing Rump would say …. It got a brief airing here at TS ,,,, but I wonder how often this dog whistle got posted up in Kiwiblog or Whalestain ….
Rump plays to an audience …. the NZ 'right' share an awful lot of the same things.
That's why so many see Trump as God and saw Key as God. Those two fine specimens had a grasp of the real world and are / were about showing what the real world is about, or should be about. The thing that should be the weirdest bit it is the Trump thing about 'draining the swamp' still being chanted by his cheerleaders. Like Shylock to Oliver and co., "Welcome after your trip out of the swamp my dears, to a mire of neck high shit."
You will know when we have a real Left wing transformative politician who is anywhere near the levers of power in New Zealand, because this is what happens when a real one shows up and threatens the power status quo….
" The greatest fear of those holding the most power and wealth is that they will lose their exalted position in the world. They will resist any changes to the grossly unequal and unjust class structure that causes grievous damage to so many people; and to the planet itself. Even the threat of real change must be crushed. This, in a nutshell, underpins the astonishing and relentless campaign to stop Jeremy Corbyn, a moderate leftist, from ever becoming Prime Minister."
The Campaign To Stop Corbyn – Smears, Racism And Censorship
http://medialens.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=910:the-campaign-to-stop-corbyn-smears-racism-censorship&catid=57:alerts-2019&Itemid=252
Hi Adrian, as a local example; witness Metiria Turei in the last election.
Our media, almost in concert, got stuck in and made sure 'that sort of voice' isn't heard in the corridors of power.
Yeah I would go along with that, although I would also have to say that the Greens PR department (if they indeed have one) should have all been fired immediately after that episode had exposed their complete ineptness.
+100 … how Metiria Turei was forced to resign … but double dipper english and his rich mans crime of greed was allowed to remain … was a disgrace …. mainly to our media but also the greens PR.
Corbyn smears are also media enabled to a very large degree …. partly because we are kept in the dark about how bad Israel is … and what sort of other sneaky stuff is being done.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aitqHMmIjFs
Who knew that BDS has been falsely framed and ruled anti-semetic ?
Or how about the links and admirers of right wing Apartheid Israel
And our media never comments on things like what has been written in UN reports about Israel … a country Wayne mapp said shared our NZ values … he can count me out …of his values
,,,,,,,,,its almost like Sadam The Butcher of Baghdad ,,, didn't die …
he's alive and running iron fist israel
I think the massive effort to stymie drug law reform is another example of this, the powerful see it as a threat because they may lose some control to the new generation. And of course they are above the law so it has no impact on their day to day recreational activities.
Chomsky says….no but seriously he always had a pretty good take on drugs/drug control/class war etc…although not sure his lottery analogy here works that well anymore, maybe times have changed a bit since them?

(mention of our council's bad decision not to declare a climate emergency in there too)
Good bloke and leadership – hope this is followed up and supported.
It has been by me. Tomorrow's council meeting will be very interesting. The formal discussion, however, has been shunted into the "public excluded" chamber, as so often is the case.
Hi Robert,
Are you able to speak about the closed door sessions, or are councillors barred from doing so?
Great advocate for transparency, me; are we banned? Well, there are consequences if one does, but if the information should be in the public arena…
it's the age-old argument; there are different ways to hide information; what goes on tour, stays on tour, etc. but there's also the Hager Effect. It depends. The runaka has been asked for the position paper they sent to us, but have declined to provide it to the media. I'd like to talk with them first. I reckon it's in the public arena now, having been reported upon by the media.
Thanks Robert.
Censorship takes many forms, each and every one of them are insidious and contribute to further decline and degradation.
Leads to, playing the system … out of necessity…
Cheers Robert.
Why is this man not thinking about the money, private interests, or the slapdash development of Southland. Heresy!
Outrageous propaganda …
And they get worse in defending their lies …
Our SAS and Key / mapp look like baby step fibbers with only two villages we know they've lied about…. The Big boys tell Huge ones …..
Which brings me to Idlib … and the problem of radicalized overseas fighters ,,,, I doubt our media will inform us of this problem…. Where the brits and co send killers ,,, but do not want them back.
France, too, is working to eradicate its jihadis overseas.,,,
Personally I think a lot could be de-radicalized as many were tricked into a) the warped twisted cult version of isis / al nusras Muslim preaching … and b) their 'good war' .
And there is the ongoing injustice in our blind eye to our criminals ….behind and involved in their crimes.
Idlib is a small ugly problem …. compared to what the west cooked up … and Libyans now face with their NATO destroyed society
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcDEc7gDYGk
I suspect that similar strategies have been used with the Uyghur Muslims in China. Thetre are several Sunni sects living in China, but the Uyghurs tend to be the most inclined to violent jihad and separatism.
The Turkestan Islamic Party(Xinjiang) is designated a terrorist organisation by the EU, the UK, Turkey, the US , Russia and others.
They've shown up in Idlib, Syria where the fear is they'll return to China as hardened fighters.They have a fearsome reputation for cruelty and barbarity.
Radical Uyghurs have also been involved in terrorist acts against other Muslim minorities within China, notably the Hui muslims who are the most numerous in China
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkistan_Islamic_Party
https://www.greanvillepost.com/2019/04/19/a-holy-war-against-china-beijing-and-the-turkic-uyghur-threat/
There's more to all this recent internment camp hullaballoo than first meets the eye …as always
It needs to be also remembered that the Chinese also were the first ones that trained and funded the Afghan Mujahideen before the CIA started it. Using training camps in Xinjiang. A little blowback maybe?
I know the Chinese backed Pol Pot … long with the usa.
But training Afghan Mujahideen is a new one … the training camps were located in Pakistan… and before the cia sponsored operation cyclone and the destruction of Afghanistan kicked of in 1979 the country was at peace.
it was part of the Hippy trail … and safe up until 1979 …and been rooted ever since.

https://dangerousminds.net/comments/on_the_hippie_trail_through_afghanistan_to_india_1967-1979
Its also why I felt very sad for the Afghan man who was among the first killed by the christchurch racist terror killer …. Afghanistan has been preyed upon and been in a constant state of destruction ….. since 1979.
Apparently approx 20 Afghans a day are still being killed … in 2019
We backed the bad buggers over there … and let good ones die here.
Our Govts are still doing it
I'm beyond words at the shame of it all …

Cheers for the very interesting Link francesca …. I'd read of 40,000 plus numbers of foreign fighters … So with only 800 odd english, and similar numbers from france, germany, europe … there were some big recruiting countries missing.
And bingo … there were a large number of them
Thanks for the interesting read and missing information … that you would almost think our media censors …

tRump indulges in his nuclear fantasies, again.
https://twitter.com/AtomicAnalyst/status/1153353619527405574
The Pentagon believes using nuclear weapons could “create conditions for decisive results and the restoration of strategic stability”, according to a new nuclear doctrine adopted by the US joint chiefs of staff last week.
The document, entitled Nuclear Operations, was published on 11 June, and was the first such doctrine paper for 14 years. Arms control experts say it marks a shift in US military thinking towards the idea of fighting and winning a nuclear war – which they believe is a highly dangerous mindset.
“Using nuclear weapons could create conditions for decisive results and the restoration of strategic stability,” the joint chiefs’ document says. “Specifically, the use of a nuclear weapon will fundamentally change the scope of a battle and create conditions that affect how commanders will prevail in conflict.”
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jun/19/nuclear-weapons-pentagon-us-military-doctrine
Seems to be one of these eternal things that some sectors of US military really want to use nukes. ISTR GWB regime was trying a "nuclear bunker buster" and/or some sort of mini-nuke that would be bigger than the MOAB but not so large as to be diplomatically reckless if it's used.
Constantly trying to have a continuum of nuke use, rather than armageddon or nothing.
Bismarck etc probably told themselves the same thing in the decades before WW1: that it wouldn't all blow up in their faces.
Bismark would've run a mile in the opposite direction of WWI.
Fair point, yeah I fucked that one up lol. Wilhelm II is the chappy.
Bismarck called it (although he did start the network of alliances that ended up in W2 flailing about and tangling the net).
But the wider point stands, I think – I believe many of the diplomats thought they could advance their interests with complex alliances, believing that their main opponents would blink in the face of a europe-wide (kinda global) conflagration.
WTF, for a generation the only thing holding Europe together peacefully was Bismarck.
Or was he just lining up the fall?
He unified a confederation of smaller states into a great power in the middle of Europe, with few if any buffer states between that and other great powers. He then initiated a series of alliances and diplomatic moves based on indirectly achieving strategic goals, turning the entire thing into a game of 3d chess with little margin for error.
Sure, he was a chess master and kept things at a nice stalemate to keep the game going, but he was succeeded by lesser diplomats.
this is the end, my only friend, the end…
Ignorant liar inserts himself into one of the most volatile conflicts on the planet.

The Red Button Boner. Such an aphrodisiac.
"Why are we using prisons as storage facilities for people with serious mental health issues?"
Because those people are overwhelmingly men. See: homeless people. Almost all men. See: suicide deaths. Almost all men.
Solutions to the problems faced by men aren't sexy right now.

I have often wondered about the "benefits" of our privatised electricity industry, where the use of theoretical "capital values" that may well be vastly inflated over anything paid to the original owners of the system, are used to justify companies taking turns at increasing prices ahead of inflation. Now attention is being paid to water:
https://www.aljazeera.com/programmes/specialseries/2018/04/drop-secret-water-war-europe-180402084125467.html
Could a future New Zealand government or councils sell off water reticulation and treatment, or stormwater and sewage systems to private companies?

Simon's a bumbling idiot. Show me the money for your ghost roads Simon!
Ardern said that National's ghost roads, planned for but not funded, had been costed at $12 billion. Bridges was critical of levying fuel taxes for funding roads and for these ghost roads not being built. Ardern pointed out the hypocrisy of this.
What's the fellow from The Badge doing behind Slick?
He's wondering if really really has to get himself a troll-doll toupee to properly look the part and get on the front bench.
I wonder whether we will ever hear anything about Kiwibuild again?
In January the then figurehead, Twyford, told us there would be a reset "in a few weeks".
That then slipped and he promised it would be out in April. That then slipped back to June. The in June he promised that the reset details would be announced in early July.
Then he got dumped and Woods became the Conductor of the Housing Minister Quintet. She has been no more successful in keeping things in tune and now it has slipped until "late August".
Are we ever going to hear another word out of what has been the greatest stuff-up by a Government that I have ever seen? Probably not I suspect. The CoL are desperately hoping that it will all be forgotten.

Oh dear.
I think you may be a great deal better off.
Genter never gave any real appearance of any interest in being an Associate Health Minister. She seems to really be only interested in spending the NZTA budget on anything except better roads.
I think that Salesa will actually take some interest in your topic.
