  1. CW: NZ - Sovereign citizens and guns

    The NZ Police manual has been updated. In future, officers who encounter sovereign citizens and learn they hold a firearms licence are to refer the individuals to the Firearms Safety Authority for review.

    Furthermore, "... where an officer suspects an individual represents a security threat, they should contact the National Security Group at the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet."

    The days of treating cookers as harmless cranks are ending.

  6. CW: All Black captain comes out as a cooker

    How to blot your copybook and shit all over your reputation in one easy move.

    All Blacks traditionally tend to vote National. However former AB captain Taine Randell has been selected as the Tukituki (Hawke’s Bay) candidate for NZ First. The seat is currently held by National.

    Imagine deciding to run for parliament and concluding that Winston and Shane provided the best alignment to your values.

    Fuck that guy!

  7. March for Australia 3: A poisoned well
    You'd think Marching for #Australia would be very popular on the National Day of #Racism, 26 January. But it was not. Here, I have taken the time to consider why. --- the old video you can't see in Australia unless you pop a free VPN on first: youtube.com/watch?v=eq9Qlr9Q62

    Yes, propane! Most #narrowboats have #propane #cookers. It can also be used for #heating. Alde is probably the leading brand for producing #propane boilers for boats that will run radiators as a #domestic #boiler will.

    #Diesel #heaters are also popular. Eberspacher and Webasto being the main brands though many fit very competitively priced Chinese units, but I read somewhere that they are not approved for marine use and should they start a fire insurance would be invalid.

    A few #liveaboard boaters have larger Aga or Rayburn oil or solid fuel fired cookers that will also drive radiators

    I referred to #cooker rather than #stove deliberately. Almost all privately owned narrow boats have small traditional style #solidfuel
    (wood/coal) stoves fitted. On 19th century #boats theses would have been used both for heating and cooking. On modern boats they are usually stand alone heaters in the saloon, but some will be fitted with boilers and drive radiators elsewhere on the boat.

  12. Story time. I don't think I've told this here before.

    I used to live near a collection of fast food restaurants. Close enough that the restaurants' patrons could detect the WiFi signal from our router.

    For S&Gs when I first set up the router, I set the WiFi SSID to 'Police Surveillance Drone'. I thought it was a bit of fun. It was only many years later that I discovered it had an unintended effect.

    The cookers, that used to frequent the restaurants, freaked out when they discovered a police surveillance drone always hovering overhead. They thought it was legit . Many stopped going there.

    Fun times.

  14. Cookers and right-wing media are melting down over Dan Andrews visiting China to mark Japan's WWII defeat.
    History check: China was an Ally. Its resistance helped stop Japan from invading Australia.

  15. Jacinda Ardern, Chris Hipkins, Grant Robertson and Ayesha Verrall have all declined to appear before the second section of the Covid enquiry.

    As this part of the "enquiry" is merely a performative piece designed to placate Winnie's cookers, that sounds like a fair call.

  16. CW: Invercargill mayoralty - a most unsuited candidate

    It's cooker time in Invercargill. While the position of mayor usually attracts a varied bunch of candidates, a certain Gordon McCrone stands out this time as a blatant and unashamed fantasist. McCrone's web site is a damming record of one man's amassed insanity.*

    It seems Police and doctors are all out to get McCrone. "My Criminal Lawyer says it will cost $30,000 and take 2 years to put the Entire Wellington Police Department in Prison." Only thirty grand? I'm sure most people would expect to pay at least twice that amount to depose an entire force.

    He claims an "effective PhD" in sociology and criminology and aborigine life". Not a real PhD then. But it gets weirder.

    McCrone apparently advises President Joe Biden on "internal and external affairs." Uh-huh.

    Then there's this: "At the age of 7, I discovered I was a pedophile..."

    He claims that due to pain he can "barely do 1 minute of masturbating instead of hours non stop..."

    More worryingly, he calls himself "an unregistered, self-appointed child sex psychologist."

    That's enough. This man is actually standing for the mayoralty. God save us all.

  17. This is an excellent piece from Charlie Mitchell.

    Voices for Freedom is still planning a cooker takeover of local councils, but this time they're doing it on the quiet. Because we don't want to scare the punters with our dumb conspiracy theories, do we.

    VFF is still anti-science and pushes lies about climate change, sex education, gender ideology and even (checks) 'managed retreat' -- VFF think the “climate agenda” is a plot to seize property.

    These people are not deep thinkers.

    Research your local election candidates well. Let's keep the cookers from screwing up our local councils.

  18. For the first time ever a NZ social worker has been disciplined over a Covid-19 issue. In 2021 while the virus was raging, Dr Jacquelyn Elkington issued fake "vaccine exemptions" while not qualified to do so.

    She lied repeatedly when trying to renew her practising certificate, refused to provide information to the enquiry and (cooker alert) cited Billy Te Kahika in her defence.

    "In 2022, Dr Elkington ran for the Whakatāne mayoralty and posted online at the time her various theories, which included that the Covid-19 vaccination caused monkeypox."

    She came sixth out of seven.

    Suspended for 12 months, censured and ordered to pay costs of more than $13,000.

    Amazingly, she's listed on the University of Otago’s website as a senior lecturer hauora Māori.

  19. NZ Covid Enquiry -- Part 2: the Cooker Perspective

    Echoing views expressed here, Chris Hipkins says the 2nd part of the Covid-19 inquiry has been deliberately constructed to platform people with “conspiracy theorist views”.

    Of course it has. This is NZ First's 'appease the cookers cos they vote for us' separate enquiry with little connection to reality. Hipkins again.

    “So I think that the terms of reference have been deliberately constructed to achieve a particular outcome, particularly around providing a platform for those who have conspiracy theorist views."

    “That seems to have been specifically written into the terms of reference that they get maximum airtime.”

  20. Some pathetic loopy has damaged a cell tower on the Lindis Pass, presumably by setting fire to it.

    Odds are high that the perpetrator thinks they're actually attacking Bill Gates, George Soros and those evil 5G signals, instead of fucking up comms for a large group of rural people.

  21. It's taken a while, but another NZ anti-vax doctor has finally been named. Suppression lapsed for Dr Sophie Jane Febery, currently practising in Mataura, when The NZ Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal released its decision yesterday.

    In a series of what should have been career-ending acts of stupidity, Febery handed out vaccine exemptions, prescribed Ivermectin, attempted to import Ivermectin (later found to be sub-standard) and bodged medical records.

    She appeared as a doctor at a Christchurch anti-vax rally, claiming the pandemic wasn't as deadly as scientists claimed.

    The Tribunal decided "her public comments about the Covid-19 vaccine suggested a lack of research rigour." They found "her unlawful conduct amounts to malpractice and negligence."

    She's on a tight rein for the next three years, has been formally censured and ordered to pay $67,196.52.

  22. Jeez! After they unlawfully set up camp in parliament grounds, rioted, assaulted cops and set fire to a children's playground, one of the cooker children is now suing Trevor Mallard.

    They're claiming two breaches of the Bill of Rights — the right not to be subjected to torture or cruel treatment and the freedom of association. Their lawyer claims Mallard used "military torture techniques" when he broadcast music into parliament grounds.

    I can see how playing Rick Astley on endless repeat might be considered torture by some. But isn't it odd that the "torture" didn't affect the hundreds of cops present. Maybe they were all wearing tinfoil hats?

    The age of the 'child' is not mentioned, nor why he's waited three years to make a claim.

    The village idiots are still revolting.

  23. In the DCC story, Ashton mainly quotes an 'expert' called Bruce Spittle. He's the one who was citing US law.

    Ashton fails to mention Spittle was a consultant psychiatrist until he was struck off in 2018 after being convicted of two counts of indecent assault on patients.

    Credibility? Zero.

    From now on I'll view ODT stories out of Oamaru with deep suspicion.

  24. Charlie Mitchell takes a deep dive into Sam and Mark Bailey, two former New Zealand doctors turned anti-vaxxers who promote 'alternative' health and reject most modern medicine.

    They've both become "devout Christians" who preach some downright dangerous theories to their 30,000 Substack followers, including:

    * People with melanoma should spend more time in the sun.
    * Newborns with sepsis should not be treated with antibiotics but vitamin C
    * They oppose virtually all health screening, including mammograms and cervical smears
    * They do not believe there is an immune system
    * HIV does not cause Aids
    * the cold is not contagious
    * Covid-19 doesn’t exist

    If that's not enough to set off the 'woo-woo' alarms, they also fly a sovereign Citizen flag above their house.

    They live amongst us.

  25. And... she's back in court again.

    Dunedin anti-vaxxer & struck-off nurse Jennifer Scott appeared in Dunedin court charged with disorderly behaviour, resisting police and failing to remain stopped after she abused pro-Palestine protesters.

    This time Police offered her diversion on the latter charge then dropped the others, which seems extraordinarily kind of them, given her appalling record.

    I note she also lost a Tenancy Tribunal hearing in October 2024 for very good reason. She wasn't a tenant... she was squatting in someone else's property.

    This person appears to have a Bonny & Clyde complex and I'm sure we'll be seeing her in the court news again.

  26. Five-term Invercargill city councillor Ian Pottinger is running for mayor of the city. Unfortunately he's just outed himself as a climate denier.

    Lord, rid our local politics of these crusty old white men who yearn to live in the past and don't understand science.

  27. Aaron Alexander and a mate vandalised a bach in the Abel Tasman Park in 2021. They lit fires and defaced walls with slogans such as “allodial land” and “Kelvyn Alp”.

    At trial he chose not to give or call evidence and was found guilty. So Alexander, a self-representing cooker, appealed both his conviction and sentence.

    He lost. SovCits always do.

  28. What does an anti-vax eye surgeon do when vaccination is an express condition of his professional membership of the Medical Council? Easy! He signs up to an "alternative" Med Council run by cookers -- the Wakaminenga Health Council -- which only exists on Facebook and has 79 members. It has a real SovCit feel to it.

    Napier ophthalmologist Dr Philip Macdonald was found guilty on 19 charges of practicing without a license last year and fined $21,000. His appeal to the High Court has just been shot down in flames.

    This is a reminder that cookerism isn't confined exclusively to low-IQ individuals. Just mainly.

  30. NZ's soon-to-be-former deputy PM Winston Peters has been sucking up the Trump cool aid. He wants to wipe out ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ & remove “woke DEI regulations”.

    “This Bill would put an end to the woke left-wing social engineering & diversity targets in the public sector. NZ is a country founded on meritocracy not on some mind-numbingly stupid ideology.”

    Old man throws toxic scraps in the general direction of his cooker voters.
