on our traditions and institutions, led by leftist slimeballs and happily parroted by the clowns employed in the NZ media:
Red, white, purple: what colour of poppy do you wear?
To answer the question: I wear a red poppy, always have, always will. Fuck you.

An excellent post by Redbaiter, who correctly points out the role of the supine, trivia-peddling  NZ media in this.

‘All-you-can-eat McDonald’s fries not the right fit for New Zealand’

Because Kiwis mustn’t be allowed to decide what they want to eat, presumably?
Perhaps Nanny should indulge in some sex and travel..ie, eff off.

The chilling of free speech, stage 1…
‘Kiwi man jailed for sending ‘disturbing’ Facebook video
A 28-year-old Nelson man has been jailed for sending a disturbing video to a woman via Facebook in the first prosecutions under a new communications act.
Aaron Stephen Tamihana of Richmond, near Nelson, was was sentenced to 11 months imprisonment at Nelson District Court on Monday.
Police had prosecuted him under the new Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015 introduced in July last year….’

People do not have a right not to be offended. And there is no possible objective test of what constitutes “emotional harm”.
That this absurd and evil act was passed with almost no public resistance speaks volumes about the apathy of Kiwis, and their indifference concerning the loss of liberties. They’ll get the society they deserve.
UPDATE:
These are the kind of hysterical morons the act is supposed to protect. They now dictate what you may and may not say.

 A magical place, situated in the north of South Australia, where every so often legendary Australian rivers such as the Diamantina and Cooper flood and occasionally fill the lake, sometimes weeks later.
‘..Birds such as pelicans and banded stilts are drawn to a filled lake from southern coastal regions of Australia, and from as far afield as Papua New Guinea. During the 1989—90 flood it was estimated that 200,000 pelicans, 80% of Australia’s total population, came to feed & roost at Lake Eyre. Scientists are presently unable to determine how such birds appear able to detect the filling of the lake, even when hundreds or thousands of miles away from the basin..’

The result of collusion between corrupt unions and corrupt politicians.
The tribunal looks like being abolished, at last, but only because the loathsome lefty Turnbull faces a very closely-fought election.

‘Democratic AGs, climate change groups colluded on prosecuting dissenters, emails show
In the hours before they took the stage for their March 29 press conference, Democratic attorneys general received a secret briefing from two top environmentalists on pursuing climate change dissenters.
Peter Frumhoff of the Union of Concerned Scientists and the Climate Accountability Institute’s Matt Pawa spent 45 minutes each providing talking points behind the scenes on “the imperative of taking action now” and “climate change litigation,” according to a cache of emails released over the weekend by the free market Energy & Environmental Legal Institute.
For climate change groups, the New York press event was the culmination of four years of planning and advocacy in support of an explosive proposition: using the legal system to link fossil fuel firms and others challenging the catastrophic global warming consensus to fraud and even racketeering, the emails and other documents show….’

‘FOREIGN doctors made up three quarters of those struck off the British medical register between 2010 and 2015, according to official figures.
The largest number of foreign doctors struck off came from India, followed by Pakistan and Nigeria.

…The statistics were revealed just a week after it emerged that NHS bosses want to recruit 400 trainee GPs from India to help to ease staff shortages.

…“In the past not enough was done to support them. This is something we are addressing,” Dr Ramesh Mehta, president of the British Association of Physicians of Indian Origin, claimed that racism was a factor in the high numbers. …’
Well, of course. It’s racist to object to docs secretly filming female patients and groping them or falsely claiming to have removed a brain tumour.

‘Multiculti education guru denounces showing up on time, hard work, and clear language as part of white oppression

A professional education consultant and teacher trainer argued at the White Privilege Conference (WPC) in Philadelphia that great teachers must also be liberal activists, and described in detail her goal for destroying the “white supremacist” nature of modern education..’
…On Friday, Hackman was given a platform at WPC to deliver a workshop with the lengthy title “No Freedom Unless We Call Out the Wizard Behind The Curtain: Critically Addressing the Corrosive Effects of Whiteness in Teacher Education and Professional Development.”…’
