Friday Night Rants?

[pete376403]

I do get a bit pissed off when I have been in the workplace for 53 years in various different roles - some quite hazardous, others not so - without ever sustaining a serious injury, because I took responsibility for my own actions, and some mid level H&S management snot tells me I am doing things wrong, when their experience is all book learning with no real experience.

But I do draw the line at welding while wearing jandals.

We'd get a kick up the arse by a work college or immediate superior when working on the flight line with jets running and not wearing grade 5 ear defenders. Even if you were using ear plugs.

I was HnS Nazi with my wife over the weekend, did some house renovations recently and we were getting rid of all the old timber with nails all sticking up everywhere. I bought her some safety boots before we started renovations and I hounded her for a good 5 minutes as she was refusing to put them on while moving the wood. Also didn't help she was wearing my sexy blue Airwalks which are several sizes too big for her and I wanted to keep them clean lol.

See a lot of bitching and moaning about lockdowns and business closures.

Haven't heard a better idea though. Heard folk suggest that the economic effect will be worse than the physical cost of life. Can't wrap my head around an opinion that obtuse. Money beats life and health?

I'm not in a position to know what's right or wrong. Neither are the fucken rest of you.

So, the topic of this lacking rant? There isn't one. Same as all the other rants. We piss and posture to feel heard...like we deserve to be fucking heard. Lol.

Anyhoo. Back to the telle whilst my buggered arm refuses to do as it's told, at least, not properly.

Best method was to not let it loose once we squashed it. We've failed that so we need to squish it again then clamp down extra hard on the border measures to take the human error element out of it as much as possible.

Then get kiwis buying into masks and contact tracing properly so that if there are any other flare ups, they can be knocked back without shutting an entire city down. In NZ we can't even line up shopping trolleys in bays properly though so there's no way as a society we could manage this. Sad but true.

not while she is in charge

[husaberg]

not while she is in charge

So when Judith Collins husband exports those entire Kauri logs claiming they are sculptures to China to be made into furniture despite the law being that unprocessed native logs cant be exportedis he creating Jobs in NZ?
or exporting jobs attempting to use a loophole.

or how is it Collins company formally called Orivita
Was not charged over them cutting off the gas line while illegally logging swamp Kauri for export.
So what happened exactly?
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/...ectid=11923687

In an NZX update Refining NZ said it expected the revenue impact would be of the order of $10m to $15m.

In September 2017, a digger damaged part of a 168km jet-fuel line which caused tens of millions of dollars in lost business and repairs, grounded dozens of flights and caused havoc on the supply chain. While locals claimed that the damaged land was only used for grazing, it became quickly apparent that it happened while digging for swamp kauri.

And while the contractor was seemingly self-employed, Oravida's name soon came up as they were known to dig for kauri in the Ruakaka area, contrary to Collins'claims at the time.

A full inquiry would confirm that Oravida was involved.
The strange case of Oravida and the rupturing of the Ruakaka jet fuel line:
Radio New Zealand reported this morning that an independent inquiry has concluded that an Oravida associated company was implicated in the rupturing of the oil line that caused something of a crisis for Auckland’s jet fuel supply.
Fuel pipeline rupture: Inquiry tells companies to invest in infrastructure:

It established a 16-tonne digger was working on the Ruakaka property between 26 and 28 August 2014. The digger had been delivered there so a contractor could look for swamp kauri logs.
Local sawmill Kauri Ruakaka Ltd (KRL), at the time called Oravida Kauri Ltd, owned the digger.

Collins (who was the Energy Minister at the time of the leak, just icing on the cake) was connected to the company which was digging for the swamp kauri and exporting it to China in questionable condition while making very large donations to the National party.
National gets $50k donation from Oravida founder

The National Party has received another $50,000 from the head of milk exporter Oravida, which was once caught up in a conflict of interest claim.

Shi's company, which also exports wine, seafood, freshwater and meat to China, has close ties to National. Former National Prime Minister Jenny Shipley is the chairwoman and director David Wong-Tung is the husband of Revenue Minister Judith Collins.

Oravida gave another $30,000 to National
Stone Shi's company Oravida donated a further $30,000 to the National Party late last year, taking the company's total support in recent years to over $80,000.
The records show National also received big donations from Hobsonville resident Xiao Miao Fan who gave a total of $63,500 last year.

Oravida's $56,600 golf photo with John Key
The golfing photo of Oravida owner Stone Shi and Prime Minister John Key was the result of an up to $56,600 donation to the National Party.

Collins shrugs off Labour attacks
Justice Minister Judith Collins last night dismissed Labour claims that she had failed to tell Prime Minister John Key of further details about her dinner with a senior Chinese border control official [and with her friends and Oravida bosses Stone Shi and Julia Xu] last year.

The month before Ms Collins' trip, Ms Xu said that Oravida was experiencing difficulties getting milk into China after the Fonterra botulism scare and that the New Zealand Government could do more to engage with Chinese officials to help.

Sounds like half of you guys would like to live in our grandparents days... They were allowed out of town, actually they were allowed, to go over seas... Some had their heads blown off some came back with no arms... Some saw there mates guts ripped out right in front of them...
... So... Maybe just maybe we aren't so badly off, a bit less selfishness perhaps people...

Grandparents days? Those were the good ole days (late 1940’s to 60’s)

Us Millennials have it tougher and the stats don’t lie.
We are disadvantaged in every aspect growing up in the 21st century.

Jacinda let it loose again.
End of, hopefully end of her come October.

Judith aint muvh better but if we can get enough votes toward the legend millennial Seymour that should shape her policy in a more progressive fashion
