Dunedin Council Link Down

By NZB3

Today’s Otago Daily Times suggests something that Dunedin City Council have hidden something they didn’t want us to see. So I want to see it! “A video link showing two Dunedin City Council committee meetings was taken down for two days because of “potential legal concerns”. Footage of last Wednesday’s meetings was pulled by the […]

ZB on Ukraine

By NZB3

Early morning radio this morning had a bit of an interesting take on the Russia vs. Ukraine war in a way that stirred me to listen. Some of my best books or best ideas are the ones I hear rejected by others. When the orthodox view REALLY shows fear and resistance to something that’s the […]

Wildlife Carbon Offset

By NZB3

So DOC, under Labour 6.0, were under the impression they could kill 46 species of wildlife, including some rare and protected species, as long as they did something nice to make up for it. Talk about carbon-offset mentality! “The Environmental Law Initiative (ELI) challenged the decision to grant the New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi […]

Jason Mika’s Welcome Mat?

By NZB3

What the hell was I listening to from Doctor/Professor Jason Mika on Monday morning? It sounded like he was welcoming in our new Chinese overlords on behalf of New Zealand China Council. Better play that back again… “A New Zealand China Council report says the ancient historic connection between Maori and Chinese people is a […]

Mr Peters Goes to China

By NZB3

So big Red China won’t even allow black men on their movie posters? And, they’re making moves on our Cook Islands. And a battle armada has appeared off the New South Wales coast which has already started diverting our air traffic. Our response is sending Winston Peters, a black man, to China next week. Things […]

Submissions

By NZB3

I’ve had an interesting back-and-forth with Reality Check Radio’s Facebook page admin about the merits of making submissions to government Select Committees. It applies to participating in State Democracy Theatre in all respects too and in that I certainly include elections. On Friday they posted; “LAST CHANCE: Gene Technology Bill feedback closes MONDAY! Maree just […]

Deathbed Anarchist Confessions

By NZB3

An old Labour 3.0 and 4.0 politician died earlier in the year, Russell Marshall. This bit jumped out at me… “Mr Marshall had grown disillusioned with politics, saying that he found that much of what happened in Parliament was little more than a charade.” – Otago Daily Times (15 February, 2025) The Statists often say […]

Hostage Puppy

By NZB3

I wake up this morning to a dramatic headline from Three News: “…President Donald Trump’s decision to gut the humanitarian agency, USAID. It comes as the United Nations warned millions of people would die if the funding was pulled as planned.” You can watch the full clip on their site here. Or, I’ve clipped it […]

Chinese Tiger Trouble

By NZB3

As the Trump Administration flexes in their hemisphere it seems that China is doing the same over here in ours. The USA has been insisting on more power and influence over the Panama and even making designs on Greenland and Canada (check out great Jordan Peterson’s take on that.) The Colombian President announced that his […]
