Since my last post a couple of weeks ago where I had lost 4 kilos I have now lost another two kilos.
I am going to try to lose two more this week by going harder on the cardio.
In total I have lost just over six kilos so far which is slightly lighter than this machine gun.
National has announced that s92a, Judith Tizard’s ill conceived sop to big business, is as dead as Tizards political career.
Prime Minister John Key has announced that the government will throw out the controversial Section 92A of the Copyright Amendment (New Technologies) Act and start again.
Commerce and justice minister Simon Power will now meet with officials and rewrite the Section 92A (S92) of the Act from the ground up.
“Section 92a is not going to come into force as originally written. We have now asked the minister of commerce to start work on a replacement section,” the prime minister said.
No timeframe has been set for amending S92.
Well done, listening to your citizens rather than ramming through ideologically inspired stupid laws.
The Mad Mayor Andrew Williams, The Clown of Campbells Bay should pay back the money spent on his silly little joke.
Govt to let employers buy back holidays – The Government will let employers offer staff a cash payment to replace the fourth week of their annual holidays, reversing a crucial element of the previous Government’s Holidays Act. Labour’s law made it illegal to pay cash in… [NZ Herald Politics]
Well done National for planning to allow workers to cash up their 4th week of holidays. This was perhaps the single biggest productivity killer that Labour brought in and they took away the right of a worker to cash it in at the same time.
Andrew Little must be getting anoyed that everytime he pipes up for the EPMU the Herald notes he is actually “Andrew Little – who is also Labour Party President”
WOBH has been informed via the tipline that Labour MPs who are considered not to be pulling their weight in Parliament are to be sent a letter detailing the minimum amount of work that is expected of them.
Under proposals to be put to Labour’s national executive committee next week, around 20 backbench MPs will for the first time be told to do a basic minimum amount of work.
Currently there is no set amount of work which must be done by an MP, apart from a requirement to serve their constituents.
A Black Power chapter has been left powerless and homeless after police confiscated the gang’s pad and its president was jailed.
Black Power New Zealand president Mark Pitman was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison in September last year for being the mastermind behind what the Crown said was a million dollar-plus a year cannabis-selling operation.
Pitman is believed to have finally given up his battle to keep the gang’s Mount Wellington, Auckland, headquarters after fighting police through the courts for more than three years.
The 47-year-old who had amassed a property portfolio of almost $1 million before his arrest was to appeal the forfeiture of the two-storey Jolson Rd property which is painted in the gang’s dark-blue colours but last month withdrew his attempt.
In her Proceeds of Crime decision released late last year, Manukau District Court judge Anna Johns also ordered Pitman to pay a “pecuniary penalty” of $60,000 and a former partner of his whose name is suppressed was ordered pay the Crown $47,520.
The seizure of the gang pad under the Proceeds of Crime Act was one of only a handful of successful confiscations of gang headquarters in New Zealand history.
Boo-fucking-hoo…..This is what I call a good start. Now the Police should get cracking on the next lot of oxygen thieves.
Alan Keyes on video attacking Obama. This is a serious attack with no holds barred.
Alan Keyes, a three-time presidential candidate, called President Obama a radical communist and a usurper and said with him in charge, America is going to cease to exist at a pro-life fundraiser.
The German Philosopher Johann Von Goethe, once said, there are none more hopelessly enslaved, than those who falsely believe they are free. Every person in the civilized world is enslaved from childhood in a prison without walls or bars few realize
The legal definition of free is not subject to the legal constraint of another. A free man is self governing. A slave follows rules and regulations.
Another superb video from the Future Weapons show. Mack surely has the best job in the world. This week for your viewing pleasure the Dillion M134 Gatling Gun. This gun spits 3000 rounds per minute. The last minute of the video is spectacular.
The latest Roy Morgan poll provides a little relief for Phil Goff as the stress of approaching Bill English’s record low has been showing. National are still a country mile in front though so this little bounce may well be a dead cat bounce.
National Party 54.5% (down 1.5%)

67.5% (down 1.5%) New Zealand is ‘heading in the right direction’
20% (up 1.5%) that say New Zealand is ‘heading in the wrong direction.’
This morning the Mfat officials are squealing like good little socialists that our three strikes law proposal will breach all sorts of silly UN laws. Of course they ignore that helen Clark rammed throught eh Electoral Finance Act and the S92a copyright amendments both of which breached our BORA.
David Garret who is refreshingly blunt and to the point as an MP had this to say about their whining;
Claims that ACT’s ‘Three Strikes’ legislation would likely violate United Nations covenants on torture and political rights are completely laughable, ACT New Zealand Law & Order Spokesman David Garrett said today.
“This is especially so when you consider that a leading member of the UN Human Rights Council is Saudi Arabia – a country notorious for severe oppression of political and religious minorities, homosexuals, and women,” Mr Garrett said.
“In Saudi Arabia court-sanctioned amputations and brutal lashings are a common form of punishment for petty crimes; public execution by beheading can be expected for those convicted of armed robbery or homosexuality.
“Meanwhile, homosexuals in nearby Qatar – another Council member – get off quite lightly by receiving only a five-year prison sentence for homosexual sex between consenting adults. Not surprisingly, capital punishment is still common – with the death penalty being handed down to those convicted of abandoning and renouncing Islam.
“On the flipside, New Zealand is a liberal and progressive nation by any measure. Why then, should we be expected to pay any attention whatsoever to covenants set down by barbaric regimes like those of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Council members?” Mr Garrett said.
Well put that man, tell Saudi Arabia and Qatar and Iran for that matter to FRO.
