Interesting way of learning Te Reo

by Whaleoil July 31, 2010

With just 24 days left until I appear in court to answer 10 charges of breach­ing name sup­pres­sion we get yet another rea­son why the burqa lay­ing across our jus­tice sys­tem needs to be removed. Once again we have an estab­lish­ment per­son hid­ing behind the veil of the burqa that is name sup­pres­sion. Let’s count […]

Is Trevor next for the chop?

by Whaleoil July 31, 2010

Trevor Mal­lard has his heart in the right place and is a a tribal Labour loy­al­ist, but could he have crossed the very sen­si­tive line of ques­tion­ing Phil Goff’s abil­i­ties at the moment. Chances are this will get edited for more clar­ity, as I sus­pect Trevor has deleted the offend­ing lie, but it is funny […]

The President vs. The Leader

by Whaleoil July 31, 2010

On the Nation today the pres­i­dent of the polit­i­cal wing of the EPMU Labour Party, Andrew Lit­tle, over-rode the leader Phil Goff on pub­lic pol­icy. He isn’t even a mem­ber of cau­cus and yet he pre­sumes to tell Goff what to do. Labour Party Pres­i­dent Andrew Lit­tle is insist­ing four weeks annual leave is a core […]

Awesome Arizona

by Whaleoil July 30, 2010

Today is the day gun-rights advo­cates have had in their sights for a long time. Start­ing today, Ari­zona res­i­dents at least 21 years old can carry a con­cealed weapon with­out a per­mit. The change is part of a broad weapons law by state Sen. Rus­sell Pearce passed by the state Leg­is­la­ture in April that eases restrictions […]

Labour is trying to force a by-election

by Whaleoil July 30, 2010

Labour leader Phil Goff says ousted MP Chris Carter doesn’t have a man­date to remain as MP for Te Atatu. Mr Carter was thrown out of the Labour cau­cus yes­ter­day on a unan­i­mous vote after send­ing an unsigned let­ter to media rep­re­sen­ta­tives in an attempt to under­mine Mr Goff’s lead­er­ship. Spectacular….this is going to be a […]

Removing the burqa from our justice system

by Whaleoil July 30, 2010

A pedo restau­ran­teur has had his veil ripped from him by a judge. Judge Jane Far­ish has lifted what she called “the mask of respectabil­ity” from busi­ness­man, restau­ra­teur, and grand­fa­ther Gra­ham Dixon Cat­ley, jail­ing him from two years two months for inde­cent assaults on three boys decades ago. Cat­ley is now aged 76 and has health […]

Guess Who Said This?

by Whaleoil July 30, 2010

The teach­ers union would hate this tory scum who chal­lenges their rigid views on account­abil­ity “All I’m ask­ing in return, as a pres­i­dent and as a par­ent, is a mea­sure of account­abil­ity. Surely we can agree that even as we applaud teach­ers for their hard work, we need to make sure they’re deliv­er­ing results in […]

Chris Carter as an independent?

by Whaleoil July 29, 2010

Could Chris Carter win a by elec­tion as an Inde­pen­dent? Prob­a­bly. The logic is pretty sim­ple. If Labour put up a can­di­date, Chris stands, and National’s vote stays where it was in 2008, National would win. So Labour would not run a can­di­date, as National did not against the un-flushable gro­gan, Win­ston Ray­mond Peters, 65, […]

Whack a mole

by Whaleoil July 29, 2010

Carter Claus keeps on giv­ing. The mole in the Labour Party is Chris Carter. He is now dead meat polit­i­cally after Pedro Gower broke the story on Twit­ter. I pre­dicted that this would hap­pen if Phil Goff didn’t deal with Chris Carter effec­tively and so it has come to pass. How­ever there are some strange […]

It was a rugby game

by Whaleoil July 29, 2010

Those unchar­i­ta­ble souls, who emailed me,that thought that The Man­grove was look­ing a bit beaten up were wrong.

Mixed Messages

by Whaleoil July 29, 2010

I’m con­fused. Just a bare few months ago we had Geof­frey Palmer, wear­ing his Law Com­mis­sion hat, rec­om­mend­ing dra­con­ian changes to our liquor laws, allegedly because of our “binge drink­ing” cul­ture. Then the Gov­ern­ment is said to be con­sid­er­ing rais­ing the drink­ing age from 18  to 20, despite the party vot­ing resound­ingly to oppose such […]

Mildly interesting stuff

by Whaleoil July 29, 2010

Damien Christie is more than a lit­tle pissed off with Apple The Man­grove still has firm roots in Napier, much to the relief of hus­bands nation­wide. Set­tled sci­ence: Can every­place really be warm­ing much faster than every­place else? Doesn’t look like the Arc­tic is going to be ice-free this year. Blair Mul­hol­land should get divorced more often. The piss […]
