Did you hear about the uninjected mayor of Thames? Can't attend council meetings.

MSM loves to hate on her, and such hating will make it harder for her next local body elections.

I texted her and said good on you a few months ago. She replied as well despite not knowing me from a bar of soap (one wonders where that saying comes from). But no hadn't received that update. How typical, the mediocre need every hand up that they can get don't they, and banning the less than mediocre is one way forward.

Hawkins is the worst mayor in NZ.

I wanted to support the Thames mayor but could not see a contact for her and her alone.

The bastards were bouncing her email account. But her phone worked fine.

Hey Rich, I desperately need to go to bed and will read this in full when I wake up (I skimmed this) but can you please give me a bit more info on this?

"I guess it also includes its forests which are the only thing, other than China, that keeps this council afloat"

Like most people I've been fast asleep on the threat China poses until earlier this year (by China, I mean the CCP and the PLA, I've been to China and the people are great, if completely ignorant of the rest of the world and what almost everyone would call "normal customs" :) ).

Thanks as always for your work.

I've been there as well as recently as 2019. Chinese people are fine.

But China is throwing a lot of money around too, and this council just laps that opportunity up. If one is making agreements then you need to know your worth. And most of our councillors don't know that worth.

To mandate the injections for University students may be worse even than mandates for workers, not that a scale of egregiousness is of any point. The uninjected students have their future ambitions curtailed, for how long? For ever??

I wrote to the VC of Otago. Did nothing other than garner more threats via the media.

Gates funds some universities, so they comply, and the others follow the leader.

Vic was going to have mandates beginning first trimester next year. But, hey ho, they are bringing them in sooner.

How can anyone plan more than a day ahead?
