Locked Up!

 The headline: 

Increased reporting sees steep rise in prison assaults 

The problem: The headline is as wrong as the conclusion.

I seriously hope that the sharp increase in prison assaults is because more slime are being locked up for their sins and subsequently being rightfully punished for those sins but increased reporting of prison assaults means only that more are being reported.

Power to the ??????

 PM Luxon, temporary Dictator of New Zealand, has announced that there is an energy crisis coming to, if not starting in, New Zealand.

To combat this crisis he will give our money to proven wastrel existing electricity suppliers plus create an LNG import entity using, of course, more of our money.

No mention though, of any move to create facilities for the only sensible, long term, reliable energy producer available today.

I refer to nuclear  - a clean, reliable and safe (as long as current politicians are kept well away from the design and build process) source.

What's the bet Lake Onslow is resurrected shortly, to supplement these imports? 

Racist Supports Murderers; Says So.

 The headline: 

'Shame on us': Ex-Race Relations Commissioner slams Govt's 'torturous logic' on Palestine

The headline should have been:

Racist Jaarpie Upset NZ Not Supportive of Murderous Scum.

Unsurprising really that the one who turned the Race Relations Commissioner job into a support base for racists now also supports terrorist murderers push for legitimacy. 

New Felless

 Willis (and the National (led?) Government has appointed a new Governor for the Reserve Bank.

Reading reaction from economist-type commentators it appears she has been appointed mainly because what she lacks (physically) and New Zealand will soon have Greta (Mk II) in charge of inflation control and monetary matters.

The Chinese fellow may have got his wish: We now live in "interesting" times.

Trump Wrong for Once

 Mr Trump has done pretty well so far in his second attempt at leading the World but one thing he has just said (according to Daily Telegraph) misses the mark.

Trump: Climate Change the “greatest con job ever perpetrated”

While there can be no doubt the climate change fiasco is a major con job it comes only close to the actual greatest con-job of all time.

As yet no other con job in history even approaches the pinnacle that is the marketing of chicken skin and bone, covered with breadcrumbs, as food.

Still champion, despite many challengers, of con jobs is chicken wings.

Free Speech

 The current craze for mourning free speech amuses me.

1981 in New Zealand was about free speech and most of you were, as you proudly proclaim, agin' it. 

Recognition

 The nominal head of a leaderless committee, known (jokingly) as the Prime Minister and elected only by a very small group of people (the National Party executive), has decided New Zealand will "recognise" the non-existant (both in fact and historically) "Palestine" as a state.

The man represents probably less than 1% of New Zealanders. 

Is this legal?
