Want to make alterations to you own property? You’ll need permission and have to pay your bloodsucking overlords for it. Decide not to make alterations? You’ll have to pay for that, too:
‘..”I approached the community board, and sent the letter through with my application, and all that needed to be done at the district council’s end was read the letter and stamp the application. How this took the 3.5 hours claimed at a rate of $120 an hour is beyond me.”
A report from resource management manager Simon Moran says the 3.5 hours was made up of 15 minutes for a customer service officer to process the application, half an hour for a manager to conduct the original assessment and assignment of the consent, discuss the consent with a processing planner, and check the final draft, and 2.75 hours for a planner to assess whether further information was required, liaise with staff to identify a way to grant the consent because there was limited information and no consideration of the plan requirements, and capture resource consent information in the database to enable reporting and consent tracking…’
No doubt the Key government would cite this as evidence of a “healthy economy” in the small town concerned, since it “employs” so many parasites..
It isn’t. What it is, is an example of how ordinary people are being stifled, robbed and tyrannized by a whole army of well-paid useless arseholes.

    It gets worse (in NZ, of course). Here is a case of having to pay NOT to build something:

    Yep, the Local Government Act 2002 and the Resource Management Act 1991 together, would give Stalin wet-dreams for life. The best way to do deal with local authority Hitlers is to ignore them. Their policing of these extortive activities is not comprehensive hence any Abatement Notices ought be binned on receipt this often consigns the nonsense to history.

    This is entropy (the waste portion any energy expended in order to do work) that is man-made (not a natural occurrence of nature but as add-ons).

    Since it is known that entropy leads to chaos, then you must assume that chaos is the Statist architects intentions. That is true no matter how many times they swear that their intent is to see that things are sorted out properly. You know what must be done if you want to survive.

    I can’t recall the original quote, but it has been said that in order to know what a man will suffer, simply look at what he CAN suffer.

    People will only rid themselves of this tyranny when they can genuinely suffer no more of it. I’m already there, but while the beer and the footy remain untouched we will never have anything close to a revolt.

    Sadly a lot of this is begged for by the people, it saddens me to say that even on Conservative radio out here there are far too many calls for the government to do something!

      Amen to that.

      It’d be a hard life for a conservative politician. Trying to sell small government these days is like trying to sell freedom to ants.

    “Few men desire liberty. The majority are satisfied with a just master. -Sullust”
    How depressingly bloody true!

      Seeing as Sullust was an “historian” and apologist for Julius Caesar, it has the sound of inevitability, so go along when the choice you are given is favorable. Ugh. Sullust viewed Sulla’s party unfavorably, yet Sulla was the last dictator of Rome (in order to defeat the communist of his time, Marius) to retire voluntarily. See, not so coincidentally, Caesar was a Marian.

      Look for Sullusts in our own time who bemoan the state of morality but are willing to buy security at the expense of liberty. They are in the employ of the Statist.

        And that Pascal is why CR’s masthead is so simple.
        For Liberty.
        Not liberty with morality, not liberty with safety, not liberty with security. not liberty “but”…

    What was that line from the Patriot?

    “Why should I trade one Tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand Tyrants one mile away?”

      from your link:

        MORE easily, because each will consider themselves only 1/3000th to blame.

        And because you’ll need 3000 bullets rather than just one.

    We have sufficient, Wombat. :twisted:
