The minister of police has cut the ground from under the feet of the ‘hate speech’ hunters. In parliament on Wednesday, he made it very clear that one does not have to accept responsibility for anything one has said in the past. Quote. Hon Dr Nick Smith: Will the Minister
Do these soy boys really think that real men (and women) are going to make a “transition” from real meat to maggot meat? Quote. As an alternative to meat, one scientist has suggested that humans will acquire the habit of eating maggots in order to reach their protein intake requirements.
I never would follow that member’s [Bridges’] attempt to paraphrase Minister Jones. I don’t actually accept even Minister Jones’ attempts to paraphrase himself. Jacinda Ardern
Dr David Clark, the Minister of Health was given a stern rebuke in parliament for being deliberately obstructive in his answers to written questions. The speaker had this to say to the minister. Quote. I have received a letter from the Hon Michael Woodhouse raising with me the responses to
Apologies for the title are proffered to all the young ones who have never seen a copy and those too sensible and straight laced to have ever wasted their youth reading Mad Magazines. However, on the grounds that it takes one to know one, the comments from an ex-spy on
It was all so predictable. From the moment Julie Anne Genter got the Associate Minister of Transport role, a speed limit reduction to 80 km/h was a given. “It is only for the most dangerous roads,” she witters on. Mark my words, SH2 will be 80km/h from Tauranga
Our cabal of media moguls have collectively agreed to suppress information. They have, apparently, already convicted someone who admires China and who spent long periods in Turkey and Pakistan, as a white supremacist. What if the issue was something else? How would their censorship actions sound then? Example One: We
The latest opinion piece, in the Bay of Plenty Times, from ex-Labour MP Bryan Gould, is a very one-eyed view of Margaret Thatcher. Let’s use his words with a simple Ardern/Thatcher substitute. (Strikethrough and italics added.) Quote. It was 40 years ago last Friday, May 3, 2017 that
Creating an obscure legal ‘get-out’ the Californian Senate has passed a Bill that prevents the secretary of state from printing a candidates name on the ballot it they have not disclosed their tax returns. The candidate can still run, their name is simply omitted from the ballot paper so voters
Apart from the difference that New Zealand is not shutting down any nuclear reactors, just oil and gas power plants, the similarities in problems and likely outcomes to Sweden’s are striking. Electricity should, ideally, be generated as close as possible to where it is consumed. In New Zealand, a
On the 19 April, way back in 1884, Annie Alice Crisp became the first New Zealand woman to receive a royal honour when she was presented with the Royal Red Cross. Quote. The award was established on 23 April 1883 by Queen Victoria, with a single class of Member and
As they say, “Only in America”. The greenest of green states, Washington, appears set to become the first state to allow a burial alternative known as “natural organic reduction” — an accelerated decomposition process that turns bodies into soil within weeks. Thus saving the planet from all those CO2 molecules smoked
It seems that the champions of the left have found a new use for newspapers, other than wrapping fish and chips. The media barons of New Zealand have, for your benefit – naturally, clubbed together to suppress contrary information from the trial of Brendon Tarrant. Since the immediate response to the
As knowing exactly what to be offended about on any given day is an incredibly fast moving target (sorry – for offence) at the moment, Whaleoil would like to assist. We cannot allow our readership to fall behind in their wokeness quotient. The latest, out of San Francisco, (where else?) is
No wonder they are worshipping at her feet. Greta Thunberg can see CO2 with the naked eye. She has memorised the periodic table and knows all the capitals of the world. Well whoppy-do! Quote. According to her mother Malena Ernman (48), 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg can see CO2
