New Zealand Thread

As we've noted in the past, Aussie is the USA for beginners , NZ is the UK for beginners and it would appear that, Christchurch is the  English class system for beginners, but now with a wrecked cathedral c/o God &c

And to continue this theme, Christchurch is where the NZ fascination with Cricket began.

Even though there is a stalwart group, in our otherwise egalitarian society, whom, insist that Cricket is for persons of class, that NZ is good at this sport and do slavishly follow and promote it, the majority of NZ folk follow rugby and go fishing in summer (summer is cricket time).

As to 'Kong's reference to N Z losing a recent cricket match to Engerlund, I and most Kiwis, would have been surprised if they'd won, on account of those Cricket wallahs, rarely win anything.

I see that God isn't helping, any more, the Bishop of Christchurch has decided to demolish the knackered Cathedral.

And whilst we are a small country - population of New Zealand is 4,791,634, as of Wednesday, June 26, 2019, we do like to stand our ground, with the other fellas...

And we do have a surprisingly large amount of country to spread the people across - compared to the person dense other fellas.

New Zealand: Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” and passages from the Qur’an rams police car, attacks cop with axe

Sep 23, 20193:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“While Taylor told officers he was not a practising Muslim, the imam at Mataura Masjid Islamic Centre, Zamberi Mat Yunus, said the defendant had attended prayer two or three times.”

Have the teachings and activities of the Mataura Masjid Islamic Centre been investigated? Why not? Are authorities too busy working up an explanation of how Ruairi Kern Taylor is mentally ill?

Asics apologises for porn playing for hours above Auckland store

Sports company Asics has apologised after screens outside a flagship store in Auckland, New Zealand, showed pornography for several hours.

The content played on the store's promotional outdoor screens above the entrance until staff arrived at 10am on Sunday to open the shop.

The Japanese sports company said hackers had gained access to the system to show the explicit content.

"We would like to apologise to anyone who may have seen this," the firm said.

In a Facebook post, Asics said "an unknown person gained access to the screens above our central Auckland store and some objectionable content was displayed on the screens".

"We are working with our software and online security suppliers to ensure this doesn't happen again," the statement added.

According to the New Zealand Herald, the pornographic content had been playing for nine hours until turned off by staff.

The paper cites security offer Dwayne Hinango saying that "some people were shocked, but others just stopped and watched".

The Herald also cites one woman who witnessed the videos while walking past with her seven-year-old son.

"I took a second look because I just couldn't believe what I was seeing," she said.

"It's totally inappropriate and offensive, not something that you want kids exposed to."

Our prime minister has closed our borders,, until further notice, whilst she reads Donald's cheat sheet on how to fuck up a country.

"The paper cites security offer Dwayne Hinango " I had to go to the original article, to check the standard of English, that the BBC reckons we should Grok.

Hey Cav  

a win for the sane - 

 

The High Court has backed the decision to cancel far-right advocates Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux's venue booking last year.

The Canadian pair's planned speaking event at the Bruce Mason Centre was cancelled by Regional Facilities Auckland (RFA) due to "security concerns" around the "health and safety" of the presenters, staff and patrons of the event.

At the time, Auckland Mayor Phil Goff said the right to free speech did not mean the right to be provided with an Auckland Council platform for that speech, particularly if doing so "would put the public's security and safety at risk".
