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 ...

" but what I'm hearing makes it look much more like it's a case of people choosing to be difficult so that vastly more resources are needed to achieve a given result." I think so too. The Asian population in NZ has the highest vaccination rate they did not...
Woops , doubled up - too late too edit out !
“ What the government and the state apparatus can do has reached it's limits. The solution now rests with people, people taking responsibility to do the right thing and being vaccinated.” So true and I think the government has done a brilliant job of Covid...
Isn't there a bit of mysterious American owned reconnaissance communication equipment sited in NZ - in the SI ? Did NZ really need a rocket station - Mahia penninsular - Its kind of going the wrong way to save the world in an enviromental sense isn,t it ? ...
Well what about we all learn a bit about "Home Guard" as well !
ref excerpt from that article : “raises the strategic question of whether the ban on nuclear-powered (not armed) vessels should be allowed here. It is one thing to continue a ban on the Americans; it is another to effectively institute one on our closest ...
Was it not predictable that China with its very unbalanced male / female ratio from years of an “only one baby “ policy, could become expansionist both economically and politically?
Then the 2 woman have two separate charges to be addressed quite separately. I don,t like fines unless they are proportional to income and I think goal helps nothing. I do think a long term community service sentence might mean some thing constructive ...
If they were smart and not as self-entitled as they seem to be , they would admit and take the punishment -which I hope is many years of community service, not a fine – and retreat back into a more considerate life. To me the name suppression thing ...
Possibly a seasonal thing. Our warm damp Autumn wiped my total crop out in less than a week, probably wasn,t the only one. Also guess what same thing happened in Switzerland this year - most of the early summer commercial tomato crops wipe out by fungus ...
So that is how the over 70s re breaking the rules in Christchurch Is this maybe right about how the under 70s are breaking the rules in Auckland ? https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/covid-19-coronavirus-delta-outbreak-ryan-bridges-bizarre-theory-on-...
