This is the flood report you won't see on the news. We have to admit to the problem so we can change. Our farmers are stuck in the deeply flawed systems set up by settlers & our government is beholden to those who profit from them. We need radical change. #CycloneGabrielle

“The first Unimog was developed under the direction of Albert Friedrich in 1948, during the World War II, for use in agriculture" Huh? ‘The World War Two’ ended in 1945. stuff.co.nz/national/30080…

Brian Tamaki, that great Sage of the People, reckons people watching porn caused the flooding on the East Coast. On the good side, farmers now know what to do next time there’s a drought.

I’m always a bit surprised when people tell me they love Queenstown. But I guess some people really just like cold, boring, soulless and expensive.

Russian proverb: An old man toiled day in, day out, with all his wealth one horse and one cow. Life was hard, relentless. One day God took pity on him, and appeared before him to grant one wish.

‘One wish, what would you like?’ The old peasant thought hard. ‘I have a neighbour who does so much better than me. He has two cows and two horses.’

‘I see,’ says God. You would like me to get you another horse and another cow.’ ‘No,’ says the old man. ‘I would like you to take from him one horse and one cow.’

Oh, so this is revenge because most of us think you’re a twat? ‘Aucklanders may be experiencing the largest jump in rates since the supercity formed in 2010, but Auckland Council and mayor Wayne Brown say this is what city dwellers wanted.’

Whakaari/White Island was a tragedy, absolutely, but it’s not ALL the fault of the various companies & agencies involved. I mean, what in ‘let’s go visit an active volcano’ DOESN’T sound dangerous?
