The Shortest Lived Blog
April 2, 2006 at 7:38 pm | Posted in Uncategorized | 5 CommentsThe big news is dead. I cant handle the jandal, its just too much effort, especially with uni and all the drinking and shagging. And now I've been threatened about copyright and bullshit, whoops, I'd be a bit pissed of if I was him too. Owel, life goes on, and I have bigger fish to fry. At least now I can say I was a blogger, even tho it only lasted 10 days. I could have taken advantage of all the hits I was receiving from this "blog title theft" saga, but that would involve too much thinking on my part. I'm just going to creep back into the normal life now. But every sad person who visited my blog, please keep watching No Right Turn and bloggreen - Two of the best blogs in Aotearoa. Also, the green party website, and frogblog. Oh, and also keep fighting the good fights: supersizemypay.com, Free Ahmed Zaoui, save happy valley and make poverty history.

!! LABOUR CUTS BENEFITS TO 50,000 OF NZ’S POOREST !!
March 31, 2006 at 10:26 pm | Posted in Labour, Poverty | 2 CommentsWhilst the "Working For Families" (WFF) package has definite positives, it has a nasty side that will, from tommorrow mean potentially 50,000 of the poorest families and children will be worse off, when changes to come into place. Green MP Sue Bradford has called on the government to " … act urgently to put measures in place that ensure no one will be left worse off by the Working for Families package" after a report released today by the Wellington People's Centre outlined the impact of the changes on beneficiaries.
Scrapping the Special Benefit will put 50,000 needy families and children at serious risk, and result in increased child poverty. This is bulshit, and requires urgent attention.
How you can help . . . . . Email Prime Minister Helen Clark and Social Development Minister David Benson-Pope asking for them to urgently ensure that no one will be worse off under the changes to Working For Families.

Tau Henare’s Outburst Contradicts National Policy
March 31, 2006 at 1:35 pm | Posted in Nats | 1 CommentIn a radio interview with Paul Holmes, National backbencher, Tau Henare called British PM Tony Blair a Liar. “I can’t stand the man . . . I just can’t stand the fact that he went to war with Iraq over weapons of mass destruction. I think he’s an absolute liar,” he said.
At first one would be excused for thinking that maybe, just maybe the Nat’s had finally woken up to the bullshit lies about the WMD. However, Henare is only 1 out of nearly 50 Nat MPs and his outburst seems to be in contradiction to National’s policy of building closer relations with New Zealand’s traditional allies, and with Brash’s comments, last year, that implied that he would have invaded Iraq if he were Prime Minister at the time.

UPDATE => Don Brash has refused to comment on Henare’s outburst, but it has been reported that Henare has apologised to Blair for his comments. I’m certain that this withdrawal and apology is due to a stern telling off from captain Don.
National Front II
March 31, 2006 at 12:00 am | Posted in National Front | 2 CommentsSid Wilson – President of the National Front, continues to get nasty after my post on his less than adequate response to my questions.
Along with hating all non-white people he seems to have a problem with people with small penises, by calling me a "limp pricked coward." and a "gutless small pricked marxist dope." And apparently, I wank with this small, limp prick: "What a wanker. What a wank. You must imagine in your swollen little teenage head that the whole of New Zealand has licked up your little wank stain of red crap." "What a wank, A nothing. A nobody. A wasted jism."
He obviously took exception to my comments on the National Front is he had to ask "how come your head has a big crack in it that spews forth nothing but shit?"
Oh, and a National Front government will give me a year of compulsary military service that will "have your little red arse crying for mummy to come rescue you."
But the part of his email I loved the most …… as a parting shot Sid added that "I proudly repeat that you are an idiot."
We'll Sid, thanks, but I would rather be an idiot than a racist, redneck moron.
Energy Efficency Strategy Revamp
March 30, 2006 at 7:24 am | Posted in Energy, Greens | 1 CommentEnergy Efficency Spokeswoman, Jeannette Fitzsimons, and Energy Minister, Trevor Mallard have announced that the Government's energy efficency and conservation strategy will be revamped, as it is failing to meet targets. Green Party Co-leader, Ms Fitzsimons said "The new strategy will pursue energy efficiency and renewable energy more aggressively and will aim to put New Zealand on a faster course to a sustainable energy system,"
Currently, the percentage of energy coming from renewable sources is decreasing, even though new renewable energy sources were being created. This is due to an increasing demand for electricity – which the revamped strategy will aim to halt.
This is the first major impact the Greens have had on Government policy following the September 2005 election. Whilst the Green Party is not part of the Labour-led Government, as part of the post-election aggreement between the two parties the Greens have been given the official role of Energy Efficency Spokeperson.

ACT in desperate plea for Outdoor Recreation Party
March 30, 2006 at 7:15 am | Posted in Endangered Species (includes ACT Party) | 2 CommentsFollowing Outdoor Recreation's seperation from United Future, ACT MP, Heather Roy, has put out an invitation to members of Outdoor Recreation to join the failing ACT party. In her online invitation, Roy states that "ACT is a tolerant, liberal party. We welcome Kiwis from every walk of life." – It seems that she has failed to realise how untrue this is, following the election of a homophobe as the party's President last weekend.
Sex Talk At Kiwiblog
March 24, 2006 at 5:07 am | Posted in Blog News | 2 CommentsA Republican versus Liberal slang match has erupted over at David Farrar's Kiwiblog, over his "Why Republicans are better in bed" post. I have to admit the joke was reasonably funny, but the Liberal response on the comment page has to rank higher.
National Front “Policy” – Eradicate All NZ’s Possums In One Year
March 22, 2006 at 9:15 am | Posted in National Front | Leave a commentI stand corrected – Amongst all the racist National Front (NZNF) propaganda and excuses that Sid Wilson (NZNF Director) gave me in response to my questions (see post below) he did give one half-answer.
In explaining their “logic” behind banning 1080 he told me that the NZNF want to “totally eradicate the opposum pest via a generous bounty system. No more opposums destroying our crops and forests within one year.” Apart from cracking up and laughing to this, I thought that I’d much rather live with possums in our forests, being half kept under control by 1080 than a small group of racists controlling the country.
He also went on to say that “Billions of tons of native forests [would be] saved and regenerated. Kiwi’s saved from predator extinction, etc. How many Kyoto points would we earn for that work of ecological genius then Einstien?” – Well, I’m no Einstien but using a bounty system to eradicate ALL NZ’s Possums in one year? – Yeah Right. How many people would need to be “Possum bounty hunters” in order for all possums to be killed in one year? And how much would this cost the Government? – Hell they wouldn’t be able to afford all those ships to send all the foriegners home!
Please check out the NZ National Front website and email Sid Wilson, and tell him how sick and deluded he, and the NZNF are. – However, be aware that the “policy” and content contained on their website is totally sick.
National Front Hate Teenagers As Well As Racial Minorities!
March 22, 2006 at 8:58 am | Posted in National Front, Racism | 73 CommentsWho would be surprised that the National Front have replied to my questions on their so called “Green Nation” and Energy policies by calling me a “zit faced teenage pimplehead” and saying that “like all the other stupid teenage system brainwashed sheeple you haven’t got the first fuckin’ clue”!
The National Director of the New Zealand National Front – Sid Wilson, got quite angry to me after posing the following questions to him.
1) How does anybody get “green nation” out of renouncing the kyoto protocol, burning oil and coal and stopping use of 1080?
2) When you say that the words ‘crown’ and ‘state’ will be changed to ”all the people of New Zealand”, what do you mean by “New Zealander’s”?
3) Why can you not accept that different cultures and different lifestyles can co-exist in a united nation?
4) Is the National Front against gays, lesbians, handicaps and any other minority group aswell?
It seems, that no, he can’t even attempt to answer my simple questions, instead he’d prefer to ramble on about God, the Iraq war and how Pakeha were in New Zealand before Maori. (“Sounds as absurd and sick as the holocaust did not occur.”)
What I don’t understand about this lot of haters is if they are so Christian and godly people why do they hate God’s creations. After all, Maori, Muslim, African and Asian people were created by thier all mighty God.
One thing we can thank god for, is that this bunch of racists and haters are definately a minority group, and their sick opinions and policies are looked at as sick humour.
Other quotes from National Front Director, Sid Wilson:
“Forgive them Lord, for this selfish degenerate generation understands not what they do or say.”
“Forgive Brendon Lord, for he knows not what he sayeth.”
“Helen Clark is your genocidal totalitarian international socialist nazi. Helen Clark is the real “hater”. “
“You have been brainwashed by the globalist New World Order Establishment organs of government and media. You are unwittingly endorsing the ultimate genocide of both the Maori and White races, not to mention the destruction of New Zealand’s national sovereignty.”
“wake up and arise to a new sunny blue dawn and strive to become for once someone of legitimate value.”
Another one bites the dust. The David Parker Saga
March 22, 2006 at 7:25 am | Posted in Labour | Leave a commentYet another Labour minister slaughtered. Following his resignation from the post of Attorney-General on Monday, David Parker “resigns” from his other portfolios: Transport, Energy and Climate Change, after the PM, Helen Clark loses confidence in him due to the Investigate magazine exposing his falsifying of company records. It does seem a bit harsh, and quite trivial, but he illegally falsified legal documents, and he should face the consequences. This is a great hit against Labour, one which the Nats and Act will be enjoying. Labour has lost its “rising star”, and now there have been calls from within the Labour Caucus as to why Benson-Pope continues to get defended by the PM, when Parker “resigned” for such a minor crime.
But seriously - when will we get a government that has morals and honesty, and can actually get on a get the job done without scandals such as this? Partly, the blame lies with Act, National and Investigate Magazine for the series of mud-slinging and attacks on various government ministers that has detracted the government from it’s day to day tasks and working on the issues that matter. Why hasn’t Rodney Hide, Judith Collins and Tony Ryall been vocal on the Child Poverty that still exists in New Zealand- a first world country? Obviously they’ve been too busy trying to make Labour look incompetent, something they are increasingly achieving.
