  1. RE the OP.

    This woman will be given a job, rightly be shunned by the rank and file, and then sue the department, likely winning enough money to retire comfortable for life.

  2. Britain:
    ‘York drowns in the tide of filthy floodwater that has devastated swathes of the North. The scenes of misery across Yorkshire and Lancashire triggered outrage last night over Britain sqaundering cash on foreign aid. Residents asked why they had been told there was no money for local flood defences when £12billion a year is spent on overseas aid – including, it emerged yesterday, £1billion to the 20 most corrupt nations…’

  3. it happens at the Military Academies too–
    Do I believe that women are ‘More Than Equal’ (my words copy right) yes- do I know that a 120 – 130 lb. human (male or female) can carry the burden of war gear – NO..

    • Nicky Hager is a vile cretin. A Champagne Socialist of the worst kind. An activist for various far left causes aimed at advancing the “Green” party. Seeks to usher in a Socialist Utopia – for you and I of course, not for him, since he’s doing quite nicely thank you very much thanks to a well-endowed trust fund.

      In the instant case, he published a “book” immediately prior to the 2014 general election, in which he sought to bring down the government and install a Frankenstein’s Monster comprising the far-left Labour Party, the extreme-left Green Party, and a Frankenstein’s Retarded Son party comprising the racist-loony-left Mana Party and all-out lunatic Kim Dot Com. The “book” was basically a publishing of emails stolen from the computer of Cameron Slater – a blogger who runs – on most counts – New Zealand’s most-read politics blog and whose role it is to re-write and re-publish National Party propaganda. (Of note, our friend Redbaiter is banned from his site, which gives a lie to the “right wing” label most-often ascribed to Slater). The emails stolen from Slater were those in which Slater was corresponding with National Party government Ministers. The clear implication from the book is he was colluding with them, they were directing his attacks on opposition MPs. As far as I know, the only person punished for this collusion was Judith Collins, then-Minister of Police and Corrections, who was stripped of her Ministerial Portfolios … and who was given them back just before Christmas. So, not so much punished for colluding with a blogger, but for embarrassing the party and the Prime Minister.

      The police recently raided Hager’s home (armed with an appropriately-issued Warrant) looking for the location and identity of the thief who stole the emails. The didn’t find him. Hager sued, and a Judge found Hager is a “journalist” and therefore, for some reason, has greater protection from search and seizure laws than you and I. The search (which didn’t turn anything up) was ruled illegal, clearing the way for Hager to enrich himself through suit against the Police.

      • Gantt, Thanks for writing a much clearer and more extensive briefing than I found anywhere in normal “journalistic” publications. Very much appreciated.

  4. I notice, in my perambulations, that there are no female stone wall builders operating anywhere in my home town. I took particular note of this since having a good Tongan crew of men erecting our stone fence. If I had asked George, the major and best erector of stone walls in town why he did not employ women, he would have choked laughing and held up progress on construction while his crew tried to figure out how to revive him..

  5. Is Wellington really going to follow Auckland and destroy its trolleybus system? I’ll have to start saving up my pension and come visit before it is too late and they are all consigned as static exhibits to MOTAT.
