A good leader would have fronted up straight away and said something easy like I’m sorry this has impacted your lives so much but I feel it’s the only way forward for NZ. I’m appointing an independant investigator to run an inquiry to make sure that we are going about all this the best way and to see if there’s anything we can change. I’m going to to have a phone conference with international leaders and hear their experiences of easing restrictions and find out what works and what doesn’t. Thanks for making the journey here I do need to hear from all of NZ andctry to understand the best way to help our nation go forward.

Now with that 85% of the crowd would prob be happy to just to have been acknowledged and gotten a response and with no further drama or anything interesting on the horizon they would go home.

But no she’s hiding like “basement Biden” or “just a handful of truckers Trudeau” letting what should be nothing fester into something worse

Seeing as you both think you can do much better jobs You and mashman should form a political party with two people who seem to have all the insider knowledge.
With you two leading the charge you would be shoe ins.

ps basement Biden yes running against Trump an incumbent president flush Koch bothers NRA and big business cash with 24-hour Coverage on Fox, ) yet Biden a second rate candidate if ever there was one,didn't even tour the country hardly left his house wasnt doing rallies and yet still beat trump.....how bad a president does that make trump....

Tell it to my heart. My AchyBreaky Heart.

On repeat. All night.

isnt it "andctry" breaky heart

I think the reason there was limited Police yesterday was because they didn't think it would amount to much and now they've realised there's an actual protest (that isn't going away), they have to have a show of Force.

As for the Trump Flags - isn't it interesting whenever there's a call to Freedom, Trump flags are found...

The entirely reasonable explanation for lack of police was that they were being allowed their right to protest.

Now that their Freedom^tm protest is affecting the Freedom of movement of other law abiding citizens, and the Freedom of legitimate business owners from operating their businesses without intimidation, they have responded in a relatively non confrontational way. The calls to storm the parliament buildings which warrant a response of some sort.

Trump flags just demonstrate that the people holding them are completely detached from reality, given that American politics have absolutely no connection to any government policy in New Zealand.

Just shows you what a tolerant society we live in, when a very small minority are allowed to express their opinion, even when it inconveniences the majority just trying to go about their day.

Anyone remember Jacindamania?
I can't find anyone that admits to voting for her now.

The Trump flags also signify the fact that we have an extreme right wing element entrenched in our Society now. The people that shout out on the news tonight about the 'media propoganda' and masks give you cancer.

Detached from realiity but servants to what ever they read on Social media. That is their bible. These are the people overstaying in front of the Beehive.

Not what most New Zealanders need right now, this has shades of the Insurrection on Jan 6 and the Whitehouse episode.

Get the army in and heavy lifting gear and move these guys out, and their trucks and cars. Get rid of these wankers.

[FJRider]

Well I’d love to see the TAB odds for sure....

I'll be watching the given odds ... regardless of my personal preferences/beliefs ... money is money.

They still have FB yes but that’s fact checking itself out of business, the recent crash in its share price sure shows what intelligent investors think of its future....

The stock Market is all about "Futures" ... and lots of money is lost. Sure things aren't as sure as they used to be.

Go figure.

The longer this saga drags out the more people will be added to the list of NEVER vote labour again because....
Their small business got smashed out of business by lockdowns and being forced to be the mask and scan stasi.
They never got to the funeral of a loved one
They never got to be in hospital to comfo rt a loved one dying
Friendships/relationships/jobs lost via mandates and subsequent horrid attitudes to others generated
Home ownership completely disappearing from view
Ute tax
Letting nutter greens get a free ride into power, especially with their latest rubbish about treaty settlements are not and should not ever be final compensation and we must begin selling back land to them with the money we will give them..... it’s like they forgot about the foreshore and seabed debacle....

Political popularity is a fickle thing ... depending on what any voter (for either party) thinks they were screwed over on ANY particular "promise" ... on the lead-up to an election.

The "Never Again" claim is nothing new. And I'm old enough to have heard many of those "I'll never vote ..." type statements ...

The three waters bullshit which will not only see our rates rise but we will have to start paying for water

One local town down this way has Lead found in the town water supply.

Topping up the water with Chlorine or Fluoride wont fix all the current town/city water supplies. Even Auckland City has continuing Water supply issues.

The Public idea/expectation of "Free" GOOD QUALITY water at the turn of a tap in THEIR house (wherever they are in NZ) ... FREE ... isn't going to be free. It has been free (well sort of) in the past.

BUT ... the past is ... well ... PAST.


Watch this space.

Anyone remember Jacindamania?
I can't find anyone that admits to voting for her now.

Yes I do, I certainly didn't vote for that first time, but clearly a lot of people did else she wouldn't have been able to roll national with just a little bit of Winston elbow.

As historically a national voter I voted for her that last time as she was clearly the competent leader Bridges or any of those other Wallys weren't. We'd be knee deep in complaining about the state of the hospitals and fuked economy if English had won as he'd never have closed the borders and upset the airlines and tourist economy. Until it was too late and they would have been worse off.

We'd be little Britain right now. No fucking thanks.

Now it's time to take our bitter pill but at least with a reasonable vaccinated public. Except for the flat earth society.

She rebranded herself adding a C for .... to become JacindaManiac

The first PM to hand pick which journos are first to ask questions at media conferences
The first Pm to shutdown a press conference because she got asked questions she didn’t like
The first pm to flee a public appearance by driving on footpath
The first pm to get pregnant out of wedlock for votes
The first pm of a majority govt to needlessly go into a coalition with green kooks cause she knows some of her own might not even vote in policies
The first Pm to double housing prices while promising affordable housing

Possibly, However I'm reminded of other Protests, during Lockdown no less, that didn't get such a Police response.

Trump flags just demonstrate that the people holding them are completely detached from reality, given that American politics have absolutely no connection to any government policy in New Zealand.

Trump and the Trump Flag represents Freedom and a 'Fuck you' to the Establishment.

It's no more or less appropriate than seeing Black Lives Matter flags in NZ...

Just shows you what a tolerant society we live in, when a very small minority are allowed to express their opinion, even when it inconveniences the majority just trying to go about their day.

Now for it to be truly tolerant, if the protest could get the fawning attention and media coverage and the Politicians to come out and engage with the crowd - then I might agree.

But it's one rule for the approved protests, a different one for the others.

There is nothing “extreme” right wing about Trumps policies. Now maybe if people we’re celebrating the Polish pm you might have something but no.....

Get the army in, heavy lifting gear, fire hoses...... hmmmm sounds like what some extreme left wing commie country like China or Russia does with protestors?????

That will hurt some prolific posters on here that are heavily emotionally invested in the trump Biden saga lol

USA politics do affect us, we send our soldier some to die in there poorly thought out military misadventures interfering in third world countries.
And you can bet that if the dems did a big gun grab Jacinda would be hot on heels of that.

Ah yes, the Eeeeeevil extreme right wing....

Trump who was a registered Democrat, supported Bill Clinton until the Democrats went off the deep end - that Extreme Right Wing?

Or is this the Extreme Right Wing that has since labelled Russell Brand (of all people!) 'Right Wing'.

What is it that you actually consider Right Wing?

As for News Propaganda - There's a Left wing bias in Media, it's been well documented. Some of it is within the bounds of acceptable, some of it is just blatant BS. The more you try and snuff out bad ideas as wrong-think, the more people will resist.

Detached from realiity but servants to what ever they read on Social media. That is their bible. These are the people overstaying in front of the Beehive.

Ah yes, Social Media - also with it's demonstrable Left Wing Bias....

Not what most New Zealanders need right now, this has shades of the Insurrection on Jan 6 and the Whitehouse episode.

And what do New Zealanders need? How about their Rights respected? Their right to choose without compulsion? Not a big ask, we've got 90% vaccinated - yet we are still being penalized for something that based on all reasonable Science, is the Sniffles. Omicron is very transmissible but is less deadly than the Flu.

Get the army in and heavy lifting gear and move these guys out, and their trucks and cars. Get rid of these wankers.

Ah yes - the Tolerance of the Left, Just like Tianneman Square.

Well, at least we know who to blame... As for Competent Leader, does a Laugh and a Nod constitute competence? Just curious...

We'd be knee deep in complaining about the state of the hospitals and fuked economy if English had won as he'd never have closed the borders and upset the airlines and tourist economy. Until it was too late and they would have been worse off.

Now, I agree National are also Useless. Today I saw their Covid plan, it was Labour Lite and they were getting absolutely Lambasted for it (which was glorious to see). National have lost their way, most likely because most of them don't have a clue as to what being Conservative actually means.

We'd be little Britain right now. No fucking thanks.

Now it's time to take our bitter pill but at least with a reasonable vaccinated public. Except for the flat earth society.

At least Britain has (finally) gotten rid of all their Mandates...

[FJRider]

Just Politicians.

I was downtown Dunedin today ... was asked to show my covid passport twice. I showed it. Neither time was it scanned.

Last night my wife and I dined at the local Pub. Had to show our passports. They didn't scan it either.

Yesterday we were at the library. Both of us were asked to show it ... and it was scanned.


The "NEW" normal.

Such is life now. Get used to it. Get over it ... Get on with it



No comment on those two complaints/questions of yours ... I mentioned/posted in a recent post.


You made accusations and demands ... and still no comment .. ??
