He's a national treasure. Nice relief from the news of our war heroes and soon to be MPs cutting the throats of Afghan Shepherds and throwing them off cliffs.
There is a more afoot to get into a war with China.

nz says it doesn't want a war with china and it won't stand up for the rights of the chinese people (people from hong kong or taiwan or uiguar people) and it won't apologise for poisoning infant milk powder from greed for more and more profits. so i don't know. i don't think we have a coherent strategy at all, really.
something about the eye of the storm, now. we are. watching hurricanes from australia...
i hear china helped australia produce less crappy wine? reduce the volume thereof? that's a good thing -- yes?
people might be getting all inspired to study IT and hack into school records. payroll systems. lolz.

Yes. Jim Molan, Liberal senator, ex head of the ADF or something. It's on the Murdoch media. And our bone-headed royal commission into covid and the Chinese. (Is that a thing? Or was it some thought bubble? Our government is so slippery......hardly worth listening to it.)
The US might bomb one of the Chinese bases en the South China Sea.

Molan said something like Australia should be ready for probable war with China. In the last hundreds of years almost every falling power had to (chose to) take out the rising power.

really?
we aren't getting better at sharing and getting along? co-existing? living and letting live? co-operation?
i am thinking that 'trade sanctions' and the... pretense. pretense of conflict and war. if that is some kind of a... communications device. to the people. so they feel a sense of understanding why some of their freedoms are restricted.
i mean... people want to do various things. keep slaves to produce goods they can get rich off of selling. things like that. producing massive volumes of goods for profits. and governments want to restrict people being allowed to do that. for various reasons. rights of the workers. pollution in the environment when the goods need to be disposed of. things like that.
so 'trade sanctions'. sort of... China can help Australia develop for good by withdrawing it's market for large volume of cheap wine. Australia couldn't pass laws or whatever to restrict people in Australia making the wine without repercussions from those people. But if the wine producers of Australia can blame the nasty Chinese for the threat of war that undermines their way of life (mass production of cheap wine as a lucrative thing to do) that's somehow... Easier. Or something.
So if these 'trade sanctions' -- sometimes sort of accompanied with threat of war or wahtever... Are really side-effects or similar of greater co-operation at the level of nations and governments. Ways of enabling or allowing things to improve so that a nation isn't held hostage to the short term interests of a few people who will get very very very very very upset if they think the government is stabotaging their way of life.
the dairy farmers of NZ. how to reduce the demand for NZ dairy so it isn't a lucrative export. for the good of the environment here and everywhere.
the mass production of cheap wine makers of Australia.
and so on...
the mass production of cheap (and disposable -- only 1 season out of them) cotton fabrics of china.
and so on.
perhaps.

I mean... I would imagine that people would rather be leaders of a nation of happy healthy productive workers who are producing things that are valued all around the world...
I would imagine.
I would imagine that governments do think that it is a problem that there are people getting rich off of exploitation of others. That there is an appreciation of the expense to everyone else of mopping up after their activities. All the damage and harm and destruction to everyone else. The environment. The workers. The consumers. And so on...
But it is harder to regulate or control the local bullies who are locally present to make your life hell. If they think you have the power to change things to make things better for them. Or whatever.
You should have heard the lunatic raving screamings from a few of the property investors when the government of NZ introduced some of the most basic laws that have already been introduced every other developed nation. Capital gains tax and the like. Because people are paying over 90 per cent of their income to landlords to live in accommodations that often don't have kitchens or food storage spaces or heating or ventillation etc... Houses with visible mould the tenants can't keep on top of removing visible signs of. Houses rotting around them etc. Where landlords REFUSE to re-invest considerable profits in building upgrades because they are sitting on the land, mostly.
But they started screaming like the government was introducing laws that would literally result in Mum and Dad investors losing the heritable wealth totally undermining the entire economy of NZ rendering Mum and Dad destitute. Was the way they told the story. Stealing the retirement of middle-class New Zealanders.
The screamings mostly of a few investors with many buildings of properties... The slumlords. Yeah.
Easier for the Government to make a show of being forced to comply with international regulations.
To say 'there's nothing we can do to prevent progress / developlment for good'.
I suppose I see that the people they keep oppressed are the ones who aren't as vocal as the psychopaths. Something about the noisy wheel catches the grease.
It isn't that NZ is a culture of bullies though. It is criminal. WHen you aren't persuaded to comply by heavy handed psychological tactics then you see the lengths that people will go to to force compliance. And they are in fact criminals. IN their activities etc.
And the courts are starting to move in good directions now.... But for the longest tiem they found in favor of the bullies. Yes they did. They legitimated the biggest bullies. Never convicted white white collar criminals. Pedophiles particularly. Child abuse rings. Particularly. But there is no shortage of people who will abuse adults, too, if they are getting away with it. Partiuclarly in prisons and hospitals and the like.

I do wonder how much the government is a scam. An illusion...
How much a lot of it is. The financial market. Etc.
For example, the Government says it's spending 1.2 billion dollars more on mental health.
What does that mean?
Where did the money go? Like... Let's see the accounts. How much money was paid to where? How much money was deposited into bank accounts? How much money was spent on goods like wood for buildings and concrete and steel.
And how much of it was... The government 'pays' the DHB 1 million dollars (notionally on paper) and the DHB 'pays' the government 1 million dollars right back for... Um... Building rental? Or... I don't know. It doesn't matter. Point being... How much of the money that is supposedly 'invested' or 'spent' on x is actually... Cashed out in any way. If that makes sense. Rather than artificially inflated numbers being shuffled around.
And of course we can say the same thing about individual wealth. Maybe how much money people are paid does have a dependancy on what it is that people choose to do with the money. I don't mean at the level of destitution that they keep me at (that's supposed to motivate and inspire me to work the plantations for minimum wage or something). I mean at the level of certain CE's alledgedly being paid several hundred thousand dollar salaries...
I mean... Does it go... 'We will give you $1,000 extra per week... Once you have commited to that money coming straight back to us every week for... Rent on your house'. Things like that. Maybe it does.
So maybe this whole thing of certain occupations or jobs or whatever paying hundreds of thousands of dollars per year... Is supposed to be motivating and inspiring to the kiddies or something like that. But maybe the money is all tied up really.
How does it cash out? That's really the thing...
How the people live...
Ashley Bloomfield earns half a million per year apparently. But he will bus to or from work. He's not getting around in a limosene with a driver or anything like that -- right?
Housing... Travel... Where does the money go... Makes a difference -- right?
Right. Yes. I think it does.
_____________________________________
I wouldn't be surprised if most of our 'top paying CEs' with hundreds of thousands of dollar salaries are not getting all of that money to do whatever they want with it.
I imagine they hire people who have demonstrated criminal activity so they have something over their heads. They can get them to do further things... I would imagine. And they can end them if / whenever they choose. That's why they hire them.
They intentionally hire people who will keep false books or whatever. Lie about their qualifications. Etc.
______________________________________
I suppose the NZ government has a hell of lot less money to 'spend' on various things than it makes out. I suppose that's likely true of all the governments.
I mean what are they gonna do about people who don't pay taxes?
Put them in prison?
Then they will become the target of the psychopathic white white collar criminals...
I don't know...
Don't know.
________________________________________
What's the alternative?
Hand over power to the Mongrel Mob (a Maaori gang)>
?
?
There was this thing the other day about a gang leader dying and a local school closing for a couple days to host the tangi (maaori funeral is a couple days long so people have time to arrive and pay respects and the body stays with the people during that time on the marae or community hall where people communally sleep on mats and all eat together etc)...
anyway...
one of the politicians was like...
really?
a school just closed for several days so the kids missed out on several days of instruction because the school had been taken over by a gang who used the premises to host a funeral.
and apparently that's racist. that he put it like that.
but that's what happened.
what if we closed the school for several days every time one of the kids relatives died?
if the present parliamen / government of new zealand was... dissolved... would things (overall) be better for thep eople?
more or less stable?
i guess there is that. but the present government needs to be careful because there's a steady increasing number of people who think otherwise.
____________________________________-
there does need to be a national psychology / counselling register thing.
the clinical psychologsts are typiclaly cookie cutter little white kids selected for their lack of knowledge and life experience.
people were big on counselling qualifications. through the education department. people doing counselling qualifications as graduate degrees on the back of psychology degrees.
psychology was 'cognitive therapy' (we bash you over the head by naming and shaming your cognitive distortions and faulty thinking that is making you unwell) and behavioral therapy (where you behave yourself and put on a smile and take your walks and act as though everything is fine and everything is fine).
counselling... people learned about 'narrative therapy' and about maslow's hierarchy of needs. they learned humanistic things. psychodynamically oriented things. they learned things that were... good. kind. illuminating. inspiring. there was room for... genine empathy. listening.
there was room for... fit. because there were more counsellors and they had more of a diversity of backgrouds and experiences. from substance abuse to experience with depression or sexual abuse or whatever... whatever...
but the government and the ministry refuses to pay them. refuses to pay them. refuses to pay the workers.
it's good job for good people. counselling.
but they won't pay the workers.

No. The sanctions that matter are on Iran, Cuba, Venezuela to prevent access to medical supplies. They say the US has had 20 years of peace in its entire existence and sanctions one-third of the world. Australians went to fight in what is now South Sudan in the middle of the C19. We are so blinded we see nothing. Remember how GWB said 'Don't they know how good we are?'

I don't know that I understand. Do you mean that is a list of countries imposing sanctions by limiting or restricting access to medical supplies?
New Zealand relatively recently legalized euthanasia (under limited circumstances when there is less than 6 months to live).
I thought it was a good idea because presently hospice etc have taken things into their own hands. They say 'nonononononono under no circumstances nononono never' while making sure people's wills and charitable donations are in order before granting (or refusing to grant) medications that will relieve pain (and whether that results in death, why, such a mystery that nobody ever seems to see coming).
I thought it would be better to legalise euthanasia because then the thing would be under regulations. Rather than cowboys deciding for whatever reason cowboys decide (likely to benefit themselves at the expense of the other).
But it has subsequently been demonstrated to me, with the covid response, that the New Zealand health system does not have the willingness or ability to understand what voluntary means.
As such, it is not a good thing that we have legalised euthanasia. It will simply be used as a defence by cowboys to conceal murder. That's the likely effect of it.
Consequentially New Zealand is not able to obtain euthanasia drugs from foreign suppliers. There was something about seeing if pharmacists would or could invent and supply a drug of their own concoction. But that doesn't seem plausible. Who wants to be part of that randomised double blind control trial?
I suppose we can say the developed world is imposing sanctions on us by withholding basic medical supplies.
But we have money to purchase hand sanitiser and fit tested face masks. We have money to fit test the masks and return masks that are not up to standard because they won't fit test. We have money to check the Covid tests are functional. Other nations were returning tests because they were finding non-functional batches. NZ has returned no tests (to the best of my knowledge).
So why send us high quality difficult to manufacture masks capable of fit testing when the people on the receiving end don't check them and don't care whether they get a fit test or not and won't even notice the difference whether they are up to standard or not? Why waste quality product on people who appear to lack the willingness / ability to know it when they see it? It's just a farce...
It's just a farce...
It might be seen that the developed world won't allow us access to x or y or z medication. But it's not about the money. It's about how we refuse to process the applications from people capable of being trained. We refuse to train people capable of being trained. We refuse to graduate people who have met the requirements for the Degree. We refuse to publically advertise jobs. We refuse to hire the best (rather than worst or 'only the most minimum of standards allowed) for the job. We refuse to follow best practice (internationally developed) standards. We do whatever we want whenever we want because we want and cry cry cry cry cry that the international community won't give us the hand-outs we want to further enable our ineptitude.
I mean...
It would be irresponsible to give certain countries certain things...
I am concerned about the ventillators. Because there's no shortage of people willing to anesthetise people without regard of whether they have given permission and without regard of whether it is clinically justified or likely to help vs likely to harm. Over-controlling sadists who won't even let people breathe for themselves and they are getting away with it.
The long-term harms of covid are likely the long-term harms of overly agressive medical intervention. People were ventillated agressively rather than being give oxygen. Early on. That's what they were doing.

It is difficult when psychopathy does not come naturally. To understand what some people will do if they have opportunity.
For example, this practice that there is of people taking or holding or using hostages. Particularly children. Even ones own children. It appears to be why some people have children. Or maybe they have children sort of accidentally but then they discover a use for them, as hostages.
Where would you build a bomb shelter?
Under a children's hospital. That way if anybody tries to bomb it they would be bombing a children's hospital. All those hostages. All that collateral damage.
It's a no-brainer.
And now we rightly understand the institution of Medicine.
The problem / trouble with it.
Why it attracts the very worst of the psychopaths.
People who desire to murder and rape and torture with impunity.
In the name of 'Medical Treatment'.That's why the rules and regulations are so important.
The documentation.
Because it's the grounds / justification. The clinical reasoning / motivation. The system of rules that have been developed over years for the purpose of helping rather than harming.But many of the Medical Schools (also non-Medical Schools) around the world have become very corrupted.
Taking payment of bribes etc in exchange for people murdering and raping and torturing with impunity.
They tend to congeal in Medicine (or the name thereof).Sometimes the things that are supposed to help (the medical supplies) can be used to harm. In which case it would be irresponsible to supply.
There are also black markets.
There were problems in Africa, for example, of people thinking they had HIV Medications but really people were intercepting the donations and replacing them with placebo and selling the actual product back to wealthy people overseas.
I suppose that's sort of what happens with New Zealand's Pharmac negotiations. Pharmac effectively decides to purchase placebo so the New Zealand people think they have access to x and y and z but they chose the 'generic versions' that are produced places where the quest for 'how low can we go' bottom line results in an ineffective product.
We recently had some issue with substitution (without informing them substitution had been done) for an anti-epileptic medication. People with epilepsy did not know about the substitution. They had seizures when they weren't expecting them. They died. New Zealand failed to find a link / association and failed to restore access (I believe) to the actual medication. Other nations found a link. Or didn't supply dodgey medication in the first place.
Apparently there are starting to be noises in the direction of making Pharmac negotiation public.
The New Zealand people are overly trusting of the Government. They trust and have faith that the Government is competent and looking out for the interests of the people. But that's not true. It's really not. The reason they are so secretive is to mask / disguise their incompetence and ineptitude. And then you look at how much money they extract out for themselves. Justified only on the grounds that 'everyone is doing it'.
F*ck*ng farce.

They had this lady being interviewed the other day. And she's very condescending, basically. Saying that Pharmac has a shopping list of what they want to purchase and there is never enough money to purchase everything on the shopping list and therefore most certainly never enough money to purchase anything that is not on the shopping list.
And who decides what is on the shopping list?
They do.
Behind closed doors. They decide what is on the shopping list. They thereby decide behind closed doors that there will never be enough money to purchase everything that is on the shopping list and therefore most certainly never enough money to purchase anything that is not on the shopping list.
I believe that means that foreign pharmaceutical companies could go to Pharmac 'we will offer you the Cystic Fibrosis medication that every other developed nation provides in the public sector to it's people for $1 for each person who requires it per year' and the Pharmac response would be 'nononononononononono there is not enough money to purchase everything on our shopping list, this is not on our shopping list therefore there is not enough money to purchase this'.Also known as:
'Euthanasia 'medication' is on the New Zealand Government Pharmac shopping list of medication we want to purchase.
How much money do we (the New Zealand Government or Pharmac) need to pay to get you to give us euthanasia medication?
And the developed world says 'a bajillionty dollars you will never have enough money to persuade us to give you euthanasia medication to use on your involuntary voluntary they were asking for it really victims i mean patients i mean hostages'...
And Pharmac says: Then we won't allow you to provide Medications that are not on our shopping list (our list of demands) to the New Zealand people.
Until you have given us everything on our shopping list -- we refuse to supply the New Zealand people with anything not on our shopping list.
That is to say the New Zealand Government and Pharmac are holding the New Zealand people as hostages.
They refuse to supply the New Zealand people with the shopping list or with justification for what is on (and what is off) the list.
Etc etc etc.

Hmm.
I see. Yes.
The thing is... New Zealand isn't even there yet.
I mean to say... There were journalists etc in Australia speaking out about these things. They were able to learn about these things and speak out about them.
But New Zealand isn't even there, yet.
Not even there.
And I hear you that things are terrible. Yes.
But we are not even there.
That's how f*ck*ng backwards things are here.
The laws say 'domestic adults are eligible to be enrolled in programmes they apply to'. Then they throw away my application on grounds that they can do whatever they like with impunity. Several years later... Tens of thousands of dollars of court costs later... There's still no f*ck*ng justice. Nada. Zip. Zilch. None.
How many 'medical students' have bribed their way in and out since then?
And nothing has changed. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Government refuses to prosecute the exec. Refuses to shut it down. Somehow I'm the bad guy in all this. Somehow I'm a troublesome mischief maker. That they don't have reasoning comprehension 101. But that's not plausible. That they refuse to follow regulations. They just refuse. And nobody does anything about it. Nothing.
The international community cannot do good business with us. Only interested in exploitation.

I don't know anything about the Saudi Arabians who were given places in Medical Training Course, either.
Apparently they are supposed to arrange their own internships back home and their junior year. There is something about that. About how we don't promise to offer the final year of work placement. And of course completing a final work placement year is necessary for completion of the Degree. Hahahahhahahahahhaha.

Our immigration strategy is problematic.
We lure people here under false pretences. That is to say we pay people excess of 100,000 per year to go travelling about the world... Particularly to developing nations... Promising that an investment in NZ will pay off. Trying to recruit students with promises of pathways to citizenship for them and their families. Trying to recruit workers... Trying to find people to slave.
People come here and find the reality is quite different. They aren't paid what they were promised. They end up working under the table and everybody turns a blind eye. Until we've extracted all the poorly paid or slave labor we wanted or all the money we thought we could get from their family for effectively holding them hostage and then we've had enough of them at which point they're shamed and deported.
There was this thing about MacDonalds forcing people to bonded labor contracts otherwise they couldn't have a job at all. Saying if they left before a minimum time they owed uniform and training costs to be paid back or taken from their salary.
They go 'that's unlawful and wouldn't be upheld'.
But when did that ever stop anyone in NZ?
They don't put the money into your account and: hahahahhahahahaha what are you going to do about it?
Hahhahahahahhahahhahahaha
Better luck next lifetime!!!!!

And of course you go 'well those were the ones they gave the jobs to'
And of course you go 'well those are the ones they choose to make judge'And you go 'and those were the ones they enrolled in management'
And you go 'those were the ones they gave the degree to'
And you go 'and those were the ones they gave the jobs to'
And you go 'and that's how much money they choose to give people for not doing their job. For ensuring their job is not done by them. By ensuring their job is not done by anyone.'And you go: And it's not 'well we were required to process the applications and they applied and so... That's just the way things turned out.'
No.
You go: 'You didn't do any of the things you were supposed to do in processing the applications. In processing the completions. In publicly advertising jobs. In hiring the best (and not the worst) candidate for the job. In hiring people competent to do the job. In firing people for not doing the job.
Just.. None of the things that they're supposed to do. Nada.Like... 'Here are the rules. Now go forth and break and violate as many of them as you can. That's your job. Here's the job description.... No go forth and do opposite!!! Okay????'
That's the problem in upside down and back to front land

Our journalism is 80% Murdoch, 15% neoliberals and 5% real (Crikey, The Guardian, Schwarz Media.)
You are much better off without it. Trumpism, without his unique personality, has been operating here for a few years........the blizzard of events, rapid pivots and lies are disorienting. After a few years of watching the best description of the PM is 'the more you look the less you see' and 'moves fast when cornered'. Many Australians quite like bullies.
The general rationale is starve it of funding, complain that it is useless and just for the elites, then privatise it. Just see what happens to the ABC.
All they want are the revenue streams for awarding commercial in confidence contracts in closed tenders who funnel it back to them somehow.
