So glad the Monkey Pox PCR test is available.

Phew!
Just stick this up your nose...or anywhere else it fits, to see if you have the mutant strain.

Bless big pharma. Trust the science. They are our only source of truth.

Standard social distancing please...and be a dear and pop a mask on. None of it will make a difference, but it's a fun game to play when you make the rules. Xx

Almost the ENTIRE coast of New Zealand would be claimed by iwi either through the courts or by direct negotiation with the Crown. The red on the map shows coastline that is currently under High Court Application. The number of claims being lodged through the Marine and Coastal Area Act by iwi far exceeded what John Key and Chris Finlayson forecast when they championed the law in 2011. Our first job is to make New Zealanders aware of what is happening. This is no small task given we can't rely on the media to report honestly on the matter. So-called journalists are too often cheerleaders for signing over public land and marine areas to iwi. There is a lot of completely false information we have to cut through - much of it deliberately disseminated by those supporting the land grab. For example, we are told ad nauseum that Customary Marine Titles (CMT) awarded to iwi won't block public access to beaches or prevent fishing. This is a lie. Once an iwi has a CMT they need only declare a rahui (order to stay away) or wahi tapu (place of special/sacred importance) in order to prevent access to a beach or marine area. In some instances iwi leaders have placed boulders in front of access points and although they are technically not allowed to do this local authorities aren't interested in taking any action. In addition, CMTs allow iwi veto over all resource consents and conservation activities; involvement in coastal planning and policy development; the ability to charge commercial operators, and ownership rights to all non-nationalised minerals – including royalties from existing mining operations, back-dated to when applications were first submitted.All of this could soon apply to almost the entire coast of New Zealand.
To put it more directly:
Every commercial operation on New Zealand's coast will have to pay iwi (sometimes multiple iwi) to be able do their business. From fishing to tourism and everything in between.
Everyone along the coast seeking resource consent on private land could be at the mercy of iwi who wield veto powers if they can prove it relates to their CMT.
On-water events, including fishing and boating competitions, held anywhere along New Zealand's coast could be slapped with a rahui and be forced to cancel. This has already happened up North.
This has the potential to make iwi very wealthy, especially if they hit the jackpot and can draw royalties from non-nationalised minerals.
This is not right. We are all New Zealanders and public ownership must be restored. If we don't take action now, many of the reasons we love this country and choose to live here will no longer exist. What's the point in living in a beautiful island nation if you can't enjoy the wonderful natural shores and waters that surround it?
Kiwis deserve to know the consequences of what is going on and the extent of it. I like to think that most Kiwis would support public ownership and be horrified to know that our coast is being parceled off to iwi groups, New Zealand must wake up before it is too late. It is as simple as that.

I haven't copied the whole thing... and the links wont be active as this is copied... were you aware of this?
New Zealand is for all New Zealanders... not just one race or group.
This sort of thing is crazy.. and yet another source of divisive destructive action that will continue to rip apart the remaining fabric of our society.
Nobody owns the water, the coastline, the skies the rain, the rivers. These are a gift to all of us that inhabit this land in our lifetime, and are an inheritance to be left intact for the lifetimes yet to come.

What's Your Everest?

Have you got that goal that's been on your mind for a while.. and you re ready to tick it off!?

Here's mine.... Love to have your support...

I am thrilled to share an incredible opportunity that I am embarking on this October 2024. In celebration of Orphans Aid International's 20th anniversary, I will be joining their special trip to Everest Base Camp. This journey is not just about reaching new heights but also about making a significant impact on the lives of children in need.
• Dates: October 13th to November 1st, 2024
• Locations: Kolkata, India, and Everest Base Camp, Nepal
• Cost: Approx. $2,555 NZD (additional costs for personal expenses, tips, and insurance)

This adventure is more than a personal challenge; it’s a chance to support Orphans Aid International’s projects in India and Nepal, including their school for refugee children on the Bhutan border and various initiatives in the slums of West Bengal.

To hear what inspired others to take on this incredible journey and their experiences, check out this Vimeo link. For more information about the event and how you can get involved, visit What's Your Everest.
