‘Climate change raises cat threat
Dr Aguilar’s previous work has demonstrated links between human population density, economic deprivation and the occurrence of stray cats, showing that a dense population generally indicated stray cats would be present…’
What NZ needs is more introduced species, not fewer. That way, the bush wouldn’t resemble a near-silent green wasteland so much. The only hunting in this country is thanks to introduced “pests”. Wabbit finds it hard to get excited about the survival of the lesser nocturnal wallflower or the native earthworm.

A semi-secret, international conference of top judges proposed to make illegal any opinion that contradicted climate change…’

Syria.

Above 30 Percent in Polls Trump Storms the American South to Overflow Crowds
Policies and experience no longer matter – Trump articulates the anger and disgust of very many Americans, to the peril of the ruling two-party oligarchy.

e.g. Education:
‘..l will declare departments of Victims’ Studies to be free-fire zones. They serve only to worsen race relations to a degree that would render the KKK ecstatic and to turn young women into sanctimonious twits on the intellectual level of a Klondike sled dog. The best solution may be napalm….’

Sounds like something Crusaders could get behind.  The rest of it is just as good. Commonsense, really.

‘New mosque incites protests at Bendigo
…Bendigo Mayor Peter Cox said he did not understand why the UPF (United Patriot Front) had targeted Bendigo.
He said the council had to better understand what was driving people’s fears about Bendigo’s future.
“I really don’t understand how people can look at their TV sets in their lounge room about terrorism around the world and link it to building a mosque in Bendigo…’
Seriously? This fuckwit can’t join the dots?

More than 500,000 firearms, worth $242 million, have been legally imported into New Zealand over the past decade, newly obtained figures have revealed.
…The police national manager for response and operations, Superintendent Chris Scahill, said firearms-related offending remains “consistently very low” – accounting for an average of 1.3 per cent of all violent offending over the past five years…’
And of those offenders, a vanishingly small number were licensed firearms owners.
One wonders what the figures are concerning knives for the same period.
Kinda gives the lie to calls for firearms to be banned, doesn’t it? But commonsense and statistics will never sway the hoplophobes. Or the Police Union.

 Now the Europeans are flying the invaders to their preferred new “homes”!
Meanwhile, the NZ Herald does its thing as the relentless propaganda organ of the left.

….We hear your deafening silence
….Christians are being beheaded in the Middle East and you have lectured us about the Crusades.  Christians have been killed in Charleston and you have preached to us about the National Rifle Association. Christians have now been singled out and murdered in Oregon and mum’s the word.  Why?
What would you have said, Mr. President, had the victims been Muslims?  What would you have said had they been targeted because they were transgender, gay, or wearing a hoodie?  Would you have condemned it?  Would you have called for hate-crimes legislation?  Would you have confronted the ideology that led to the crime?  Would you have lectured us about phobias and bigotry?..’
