Thankyou for this dissertation on Putin and his fixation on the “borderlands” of Russia. I found your clarity very helpful and expanded on and reinforced what I had already partially pieced together. I thought the photo and caption at the end very ...
We knew back in the 80s, and clamoured, when diary farmers were moving south and converting sheep farms to dairy farms that it was not the right way to use Canterbury,s porous soils... but what did the governments and regional councils of the day do to ...
I hope you ate the garlic'd chickens quickly. My vege garden is ring fenced - no chickens, no ducks, no rabbits can enter. You could probably grow garlic as a pot plant.
What I am doing about garlic is growing my own .... Its very easy to grow but of course you need a bit of dirt to grow it and not everyone has that. I read once that garlic uptakes toxic elements very readily - thats why I grow my own and not buy the cheap...
“God send trials not to impair us but to improve us” I see now as a time of opportunity for new business to develop in the gaps and cracks that are now appearing and making NZ vulnerable because so much production has gone offshore (the likes of F&P) or ...
Yes a move in the right direction... and I wonder how many of 2.1 mil people eligible are already on some kind of government hand out / benefit.
Well TOP does not seem to agree with you. "The $350 cash transfer to people earning under $70,000 will be of great interest to TOP supporters. It’s not quite universal as it excludes those who already receive the Winter Energy Payment. But with 2.1m people...
I see TOP in the mix as beneficial. It is committed to Climate Change action and what Labour has done re the $350 handout is well on the way to UBI, in fact almost a trial run.. TOP would bring "freshness" to a tired old Labour led government.. Labour ...
“What I find relevant to the world is a state that is started a undeclared war by launching an invasion on a neighbouring state, and threatening their usage of nuclear weapons for any state that interferes with their attack.” As I see it too and when you ...
It does not need extreme over-reactions to rebalance NZ farming and it does not need us to go “plant based.” First it would be very “healing” for NZ farmers to have it acknowledged that many of the farming practises today were actually researched and ...
Yes it is , absolutely obscene. The answer Kiwis, is do not sell to a non New Zealander nor to a "New Zealander" not born in New Zealand. Hold our land because it seems to me now that we have a nicely developed country the rich of the world are saying ...
The dairy factory at Whareroa, three kilometres south of Hawera in South Taranaki, is the world's largest dairy processing complex on one site. Operations began on the site in August 1973 at this factory. The local cheese factory near our farm opened in ...
The small diary factories were just that, small , and they usually only produced one product . With transport improving milk was able to be moved to bigger factories which in the beginning produced three or four products Finally we have the mega factories ...
Intrigued to read the reminiscences of Taranaki. I too came from what is now South Taranaki. The pa was five miles down the road . I saw it melt away from a busy place to nothing now but the meeting house. The nearby cheese factory was gone before I was 20...
I hope not - Its looks like factory farming to me !
Yes but the concrete to open ground ratio on the section has greatly changed and is the beginning of a water run- off problem of the future generally for Auckland. - Better to have built up not out.
Interesting that you bring up plunket. We are involved with a 16 yr old who spent some years making money out of the distribution of drugs in WA, most weekends earning $1000s! Recently he was sent by his family there to his family here to start to learn to...
I do think that Sue Grey is a lawyer and person of high integrity and maybe we are lucky to have some one like her willing take on the contentious - especially the opposite views to that the government departments want to promulgate. I have no doubt that ...
Yes, I too see them as a mix of malcontents , misfits and morons egged on by a megalomaniac. At least they have all publicly exposed/ identified themselves now !
Yes the words from a megalomaniac, Brian Tamaki.

First he has to get a visa .... Switzerland used to be Visa waiver country but not right now. NZ Immigration have already declined granting him visa after he applied recently.
Yes thank you for your advice. I have already been down the Humanitarian road but declined due to the fact, I think, that we are not a married couple! ( Who would want to get married again at our age!) ) No the PM is saying no to foreign tourists. The way ...
He does not come as a "foreign tourist" He is as important to me and the farm as "Kiwis coming home for Xmas" are to their families and he will stay much longer than most of them.
How about letting my double vaxed Swiss national best mate of the last 17 yrs , my essential worker, my financial partner, back in NZ along with the kiwis for Xmas. Our farm is a perfect MIQ and I have been double vaxed since mid August. The work is piling...
"but they could be shipped down" that makes sense.... they should get on with it .
There is another developed along tradition lines under trial in Switzerland now too.. I will be interested to see if it has "glycol" as part of it lipid mix because if it doesn,t it still won,t be safe for glycol allergic people.
If they sourced a vaccine for those whose bodies cannot handle the glycol lipids in the vaccine then 10 % more people could be vaccinated. Might mean we save a few teachers !
If you add her small group to my sons which involves 10% of the population it is not small. The MHD should be supplying an alternative vaccine .
My son has genes that cannot handle glycol - in fact 10% of the population has this genetic incompatibility with glycol but the Pfizer vaccine uses this as a lipid. ((4-hydroxybutyl)azanediyl)bis(hexane-6,1-diyl)bis (2-hexyldecanoate), 2 [(polyethylene ...
