Blog: I’m bloody angry with Key – John Key has just issued a press state­ment say­ing my story in today’s Her­ald on the tr [NZ Pol­i­tics]

News flash Audrey we, the blog­gers, are bloody angry with you the MSM. How come you get all indig­nant now?

When did you ever get indig­i­nant about all the b.s. that Clark and her lick­spit­tles have trot­ted out over the years to you, their lies, their obfus­ca­tions, their utter deceit?

When have you ever printed tran­scripts of taped record­ings of any Labour Min­is­ter when you felt they had decieved you?

The answer to all of those ques­tions of course is never, but now that Dear Leader is tak­ing a hit you try to cre­ate a storm in a teacup about a bill that most of us just don’t give a damn about.

Either be a blog­ger or try to be a decent jour­nal­ist, but don’t be a Blojo.

The MSM is try­ing des­per­ately to halt the march of blog­gers against them, Blojo’s will not suc­ceed. You see when you write trite, sanc­ti­mo­nious and pure pieces on page and then scream bloody mur­der on oth­ers you can rightly be called a hyp­ocrite. Choose Audrey, Blog­ging or Jour­nal­ism, the two don’t go together.

Blogs are pop­u­lar because we don’t use edi­tors, because we say what we feel and because we strip the spin away. Blojo’s are an unhappy and ulti­mately doomed exper­i­ment by a beleagured MSM. I mean it isn’t really a blog when you post once a day is it, if that.

Prison guard: Pare­moremo like a ‘hol­i­day camp’ – 01 Aug 2007 – NZ Her­ald: New Zealand National news

What on earth does the Cor­rec­tions min­is­ter do?, because it sure as hell isn’t run­ning his portfolio.

Every day it seems there is bad news in the Cor­rec­tion port­fo­lio yet O’Connor sits on his hands and does noth­ing. Today we hear from a Cor­rec­tions staffer who must surely now be in fear of his job after going to the media. His com­ments are telling;

Prison is not meant to be a hol­i­day camp, it is meant to be punishment.

If you are in any doubt that the min­is­ter has no idea that his port­fo­lio is in dis­ar­ray there is the case of two staff at Pare­moremo prison who have been fired and one has resigned for their role in get­ting inmates to work on prison employ­ees’ homes.

This comes from an inveti­ga­tion into cor­rup­tion that the Min­is­ter clearly said wouldn’t show any­thing. Fur­ther the Cor­rec­tions Depart­ment admit­ted that “it was impos­si­ble to ensure that staff were honest.”

Wow! Time for a resturcture methinks start­ing with a new Minister.

Child-abuse accused fear for their lives – 01 Aug 2007 – NZ Her­ald: New Zealand National news

The big toughies who think it is cool to swing kids from clothes­lines and put them in dry­ers are in fear of their lives if their pho­tos are published.

Good, I hope you live the rest of your mis­er­able lives look­ing over your shoul­ders. You will get no sym­pa­thy from me, given a choice I would pun­ish you like you pun­ished the child, then we would see how tough you all are.

Benson-Pope was slow to tell full story says Clark – For­mer Cab­i­net min­is­ter David Benson-Pope told Helen Clark about his com­ments in the Madeleine Setchell affair only after the State Ser­vices Com­mis­sion had informed the Prime Minister’s Office about the remarks. Mr Benson-Pope… [NZ Pol­i­tics]

Panty Slut-boy is apprently not suit­able mate­r­ial for being a min­is­ter after being caught lying. Clearly it is still a rewuire­ment to be a Labour MP as he is still there and not booted from par­lia­ment for the same offence.

How­ever clearly Clark has had enough of his shenan­gins and has con­tin­ued to put the boot in and twist the knife over the last cou­ple of days. 

He is now offi­cially on her shit list and had best find a new career as hints are being tossed all over the place about his selec­tion chances for next year.

Inmates can earn time out under new sys­tem – Pris­on­ers will be able to earn more time out of their cells and greater work and study oppor­tu­ni­ties under a new privilege-based sys­tem being rolled out across the coun­try.

Again the gov­ern­ment ignores the pop­u­lace. We want crim­i­nals behind steel bars not behind local bars. If you do the crime you do the time.

Under this gov­ern­ment if you do the crime you get a slap up feed, heated floor­ing, flat panel TV’s and if you are good and quiet and don’t give the guards any has­sles you get to have time off for the labo­ri­ous penance that prison has become.

For gods sake we need Sher­iff Joe here fastlest pris­on­ers start get­ting an idea that they live in a hotel. At $297 a night we could rent rea­son­ably good rooms at any 5 star hotel in  Auck­land so I guess they are liv­ing in a hotel, albeit a secure one.

StephenFranks.co.nz » Blog Archive » Free speech dur­ing elections

Stephen Franks has writ­ten an eru­dite piece on the trav­esty that is the Elec­toral Finance Bill. This Bill must be opposed at all lev­els and he draws atten­tion that the worst offend­ers after the gov­ern­ment in psuhing this bill are the MSM by not report­ing the trav­esty it is.

This bill must be fought. It gives the gov­ern­ment of the day the licence to make laws with­out dis­sent in Elec­tion year. If the Sec­tion 59 bill had been pre­sented and debated in elec­tion year then all the efforts of the lobby groups against it would have been banned or cur­tailed and the sub­se­quent dam­age as the gov­ern­ment rode roughshod over the wishes of the pop­u­lace would have been min­imised when the only voice able to speak was the governments.

Where are the lib­er­tar­i­ans, where is ACT and where is the media on this issue?

Com­mis­sion to look into who runs Auck­land – 30 Jul 2007 – NZ Her­ald: New Zealand National news

God, Labour are pathetic. Right now they are rush­ing around piss­ing on bush­fires and the best dis­trac­tion they can come up with is a Royal Com­mis­sion of Inquiry to exam­ine and report on what local and regional gov­er­nance arrange­ment are required for the Auck­land region over the fore­see­able future.

The same fool who is rush­ing through changes to our Elec­toral Act arguably far more impor­tant than gov­er­nance of our largest city is in charge, expect a com­plete balls up.

Mark Bur­ton couldn’t man­age a root in a brothel and would be seri­ously out of his depth in a carpark puddle.

It is a trav­esty of jus­tice that we have a Royal Com­mis­sion of Inquiry for gov­er­nance of a city but not one for major changes to our Elec­toral Act which goes to the heart of our democ­racy. One of the few Royal Com­mis­sions we have had rec­om­mended MMP, again a major change in our Elec­toral system.

Of course, don’t expect the MSM to point out this lit­tle incon­ve­nient truth will you. Whilst every­one focuses on the Royal Com­mis­sion for the gov­er­nance of Auck­land the Labour Party rams through the most dra­con­ian assault on free speech and democ­racy we have ever seen.

There are much more impor­tant things for a Royal Com­mis­sion, Police Cor­rup­tion for one, Elec­toral Fund­ing for another.

Clark will be puce faced over this one as she her­self has used the glow­ing doc­tored reports in par­lia­ment and now stands accused of mis­lead­ing parliament.

Wikia hunts Google with new web search ser­vice – 30 Jul 2007 – NZ Her­ald: Tech­nol­ogy News from New Zealand and around the World

Wikipedia founder jimmy Wales is turn­ing his atten­tion and sights on Google. Wikia has bought Grub a pio­neer­ing web crawler that will enable Wikia’s forth­com­ing search ser­vice to scour the web to index rel­e­vant sites.

The new Wikia search ser­vice will com­bine computer-driven algo­rithms and human-assisted edit­ing when the com­pany launches a pub­lic ver­sion of the search site toward the end of 2007.

They will have their work cut out for them tak­ing on multi-billionaires Google at their own game. I will watch and try with interest.

Wor­ry­ing signs for Labour in Auck­lan­ders’ atti­tudes – 30 Jul 2007 – NZ Her­ald: New Zealand National news

The Her­ald has con­ducted a snap poll in Auck­land and the news isn’t good for Labour.

National has a mas­sive 12 point lead. There is an old say­ing that if you lose Auck­land you lose the country.

National 50.2%
Labour 38.6%

Of course Jor­dan if he can bring him­self to post will spin this the same way as Dear Leader that this isn’t a nation­wide poll. Well so what, it is a Local poll show­ing you are get­ting a right good spank­ing of the kind that Panty Slut-boy would enjoy and the irony is that it is him who has helped deliver the spanking.
