Jacinda

[R650R]

It started with John Key
Not a dig at National, simply a fact
It’s certainly got worse the last 5-6 years
EH ( emergency housing ) is part of my job.
To be fair, EH and MIQ kept a whole heap of motels alive over the past few years.
That said, it’s FUBAR’d
It needs a whole new approach, and dare I say it, a ministry solely to sort it
This multi ministry thing is effed.

Yes I agree with all that.

What gets me is there is clearly no oversight/inspection/monitoring of these facilities and certainly no decent support network checking in with these people that they are doing ok. The way that shonky security outfit has been left to their own devices sounds more like a Mexican cartel than lil old rotovegas.

Jacinda and co have had nearly six years to get on top of this and they are clearly not shy about spending money to solve problems. But labour’s problem is they just have no idea after the empty promises are doled out.

In my city WINZ built themselves a BRAND NEW three story office building with bullet proof walls on second floor for HNZ. The same size building prob could house 200 homeless people... priorities aye????

Fenton Street Rotorua and the festering disaster of emergency housing motels. Man I knew it was bad but Jesus what a mess.

I'd heard anecdotal reports of people booking into a motel to find when they arrived that there were people staying there as emergency housing. Nobody that I was hearing about reported violence or other crime during their stay. Their main concern was for the kids. There is nothing for kids staying permanently in a motel which is basically designed for an overnight stay.

Meantime, on the rare occasions I travel, I will pick the most expensive motel in town.

One thing I didn't like in that TV programme was the interview with the housing minister. She said the officials spoke to the Police who said there was no problem. Great! Nobody needs to do anything. The minister conveyed the strong mpression that doing nothing is her specialty.

Woods will ask her officials who will ask their minions who will ask their subordinates who will ask another department who will ask...
So the answer going back up the tree will be whatever each lower functionary thinks their superior wants to hear. A bit like:
The Plan

In the beginning, there was a plan,
And then came the assumptions,
And the assumptions were without form,
And the plan without substance,

And the darkness was upon the face of the workers,
And they spoke among themselves saying,
"It is a crock of shit and it stinks."

And the workers went unto their Supervisors and said,
"It is a pile of dung, and we cannot live with the smell."

And the Supervisors went unto their Managers saying,
"It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong,
Such that none may abide by it."

And the Managers went unto their Directors saying,
"It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide by its strength."

And the Directors spoke among themselves saying to one another,
"It contains that which aids plants growth, and it is very strong."

And the Directors went to the Vice Presidents saying unto them,
"It promotes growth, and it is very powerful."

And the Vice Presidents went to the President, saying unto him,
"This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigor
Of the company With very powerful effects."

And the President looked upon the Plan
And saw that it was good,
And the Plan became Policy.

And this, my friend, is how shit happens.

I stayed in a very average motel near north western side of CBD several years ago. Was a couple of cars judging by the type of possessions stacked up inside were clearly long stay and not on holiday. But there was happily no bad behaviour. But yes it’s a no go these days on cheap side...
Definitely makes you appreciate ones own good situation now that there’s not even an ambulance at bottom of cliff, instead there is just a broken glass jar with some wet plasters....

But that minister Megan Woods I think epitomised the core of the problem, no ownership oh someone’s else is supposed to be taking care of it, No! It’s your job housing minister.
And I broke out the dictionary when she said we are dealing with a “cohort” of people, definition originating from Roman times is a band of warriors... a not so subtle clever insult or poor choice of word????

Neither. The word has been adopted by people who study or use statistics. It's a standard statistical term referring to a particular group with someting in common.

This is so wrong on so many levels and Jacinda is nowhere to be seen. Absolutely shameful insult.
And from no less than the deputy leader. And just look at who is laughing in background giving tacit endorsement....

This is no different from what the Labour MP in the UK Rupa Huq has done, it's no different to what has been thrown at Larry Elder and Thomas Sowell.

It's your classic Left-Wing Racism.

"If you aren't one of us, you aren't Black/Maori/Indigenous"

And bonus points, it's a Straight White Male saying it to a Minority Woman of Colour.

Repressive Tolerance only ever cuts one way.

Just reminded me of Biden’s biggest line “you ain’t black if you don’t vote Biden!”

Medicine
Electricity
Internet
Cars
Computers
Lack of inter-tribal violence (despite their best efforts...)



Curious indeed.

Sean Plunket is desperately seeking relevance - and failing. Misinformation is probably alongside global warming as one of the major problems the world faces today. Anybody who claims global warming isn't a problem actually proves that statement correct. Misinformation, in the US alone, is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths.

We have flat earthers, anti vaxxers, anti maskers, anti mandaters. Then there's the people who think Trump was sent by God, a three times married, multiple philanderer, alleged (and admitted) sexual assaulter. There are pedophile cabals. JFK Jr is alive, Hillary Clinton is dead. Biden was killed in Guantanamo and the current "president" is a body double. They've been smoking some heavy shit.

Don't laugh, we've got a couple here.

reminds me of this masterpiece

The vaccine that is coming...

As many of you heard Moderna is in stage 3 of their vaccine testing.

If all goes well it'll become federal law to get the vaccine.

Here's something many of you don't know,

guess who the first CEO of Moderna was?

A Cornell graduate by the name of Anthony Fauci, who was a roommate with none other than Bill Gates.

Are you paying attention?

It was at Cornell that Bill Gates designed the RFID (Radio-frequency identification) and patented it under US2006257852.

Are you awake yet?

Now let's really go down the rabbit hole.

Moderna was a pharmaceutical company that started in Germany under the name IG Farben.

IG Farben is infamous for it's mass production of Zyklon-B, the primary gas used to kill millions during the Holocaust.

After Germany fell, IG Farben was dissolved and its assets sold off by a Nazi turned American by the name of, you guessed it, George Soros.

Soros rebranded the company as Moderna.

And who was the primary stockholder of Moderna until his death?

Jeffrey Epstein.

His role in Moderna is where he made his fortune and established his connections.

Let that sink in. Wake up people! You are being conditioned and controlled.
