  1. Quite different weather for our by-election campaigning sessions for Lorenzo and Isabella this week!

    If you live in Portobello/Craigmillar or Southside Newington make sure 3 September is in your diary to #VoteGreen

  2. Luxon wasn't the CEO of Unilever. He was their US sales manager. His job was to sell Lynx (Axe in the US) to a young, male audience.

    I think his tenure has conclusively proved that choosing a deodorant salesman as Prime Minister was never a good idea. NZ should never make that mistake again, starting in November.

  6. In my humble opinion, it is very unlikely Swarbrick will lose Auckland Central as this Curia poll implies, for the following reasons:

    * There are lots of excited volunteers that want her to win and are ramping up her grass roots campaign.

    * She has done a great job for her electorate and most people here feel proud of having her as a representative.

    * Without looking it up, can you name her closest contender, the National candidate? Yeah, me neither.

  8. A breath of fresh air, listening to a candidate who genuinely cares about the communities in Aotearoa and speaks like a real human being.

  12. CW: #AusPol tax Climate Catastrophe

    When people talk about fuel prices and about Fuel Tax Credits, they are talking about lowering tax for mining companies, (and of those, coal mining is a significant part).

    Of all credits, mining receives 45% of the benefit, agriculture only 12%.

    These tax breaks fund the climate catastrophe, and were instituted by The Nationals, who represent miners, not farmers. The ALP is too scared to tackle them.

  16. Something like:

    Greens: Let's pause and check there's water and no crocodiles in the pool before we dive in.

    Luxon: That's alarmist.

  24. @quoll Physics and the size of those radomes.

    Thesis: Pine Gap is a collection of antisat weapons.

    Assuming Pine Gap is interested in satellites, not in faint astronomical sources, the large (approx 30m) diameter dishes in this image have, I think, only two possible purposes:
    1. they are listening for side-lobe whispers from satellite-to-satellite, or from satellite-to-ground.
    2. the contain offensive (tightly directed megawatt radio frequency energy) transmitters.

    I am not a physicist, but I think 1. is unlikely, because satellites are small, they are 5m across rather than 30m, and their side-lobes are probably quite loud. It is difficult to fit a high-gain, very directional antenna inside a fairing on a rocket. Listening to them requires good low noise amplifiers and fine tuning, not large dishes. You'd be better off spending vast money on amplifiers and decryption. Contrary to the evidence in this image, you very much want to hide the size of the spy dishes if you can, to make them not noticable, increasing the chances of listening-in undetected for the later, messier stages of armageddon.

    As a satellite maker, if you wanted to avoid listening, you'd build your satellites to use extremely high (light-like) frequencies to transmit data. Mirrors and lenses rather than dishes. Small and tight. I presume that all military satellites use laser data transmission.

    What we see are: many, large dishes - an obvious target that will certainly be destroyed minutes into a world war.

    Because of these dishes size, and mass, turning them would be rather slow - seconds rather than the nanoseconds a phased array can manage. So these are gently retargettable units, designed to dwell for seconds or minutes on target satellites.

    Which means that their usefulness is either; in peacetime, or within a few minutes of war starting. My money is on 2. Pine Gap is antisat weapons.

    Would be nice if we were told, but we will not be told because our contribution is, quite literally - dirt.

    See how they squirm at the mere thought of workers having organised power?

  30. Hell yeah.

    Of course I'm biased: recently my union helped me negotiate for nearly 10k/year before taxes over the original employment offer.
    The $25 ish nzd monthly fee more than justifies that alone.

  32. Zack Polanski gets to the core of what ordinary people in Clacton think about Nigel Farage by utilising a much underused tactic that is, unfortunately, rarely seen in Westminster: the truth.

  33. Drink. Swim. Fish.

    Sounds like a good weekend in the Coromandel, but it's the latest Green Party policy to look after all the water in the country.

    Because water is life, for all of us.
