Solar Generators Jostle Vineyards in Australasia

Australia Door Closes as NZ Opens to Offset Renewables Electrochemical Schemes Under full pre-Trump Restoration momentum the Australasian branch of the Anglosphere displays a no-problems-here attitude to the return of the president. The region keeps its official foot on the zero throttle in spite of the incoming president repeatedly promising to eliminate on his first day in office all and any restrictions to underground energy sources. In New Zealand there is a latter day gold rush as foreign investors seek to implement leases on low lying pasture in order to construct solar generating schemes. In one such valley alone these…

Judges Make Poodles of Critics

Lord Scarman direction on critiquing courts is still ignored Cases centred on pedigree dogs and which ended up in the High Court underline an uncertain focus within the judicial system. The first case involved dog judging and etiquette at a dog show. The second and more recent case devolved around the pedigree registration of certain show dogs. Both these episodes involved the official dog breeder community and its defined rules and regulations. In both instances the dispute went beyond the established breeder hierarchy and instead wound up in the High Court. In both separate cases the High Court found itself…

Jacinda Progressively On United Nations Secretary General Route

Former Prime Minister Foresaw and Implemented Co-Governance DEI Era Stuck to United Nations Agenda 30 Quite some time before the advent of the internet era and under the auspices of the United Nations a review was undertaken on the future of Australia and New Zealand in regard to race governance. The verdict on Australia was that it was likely to continue on its Westminster path. The forecast on New Zealand was more uncertain and that there was a likelihood that its governance would devolve into separatism. This official uncertainty about New Zealand at the highest levels has been withheld from…

Energy Renewable Triumphs State Secret

Anxiety factories keep New Zealand on World Stage at any cost The previous Labour government and current National (i.e. conservative) led government have both kept secret a singular global triumph which is that New Zealand in recent times has achieved 93 percent of its energy from renewables notably from hydro-electric and geothermal sources. The reason for secrecy on the nation’s ability to keep pace with Iceland as a global renewables leader is bizarre by any standard, especially as it has nothing to do with the welfare or prosperity of the South Seas nation. It is that the National-led government believes…

Cardinal Pell Revealed Australia Moral Hysteria Susceptibility

Baby Azaria Case Earlier Institutional Example Accelerated intensity fuelling metropolitan causes in Australia adds fuel to the notion that the late Cardinal George Pell fell victim to a public sector excitability stemming from a volatile blend of superstition and moral superiority. Cardinal Pell became the embodiment of climate denial and vigorously dismissed its proponents as hysterical and in the grip of a “pseudo-religion.” It was this last critique which ignited a thirst for vengeance which found its epicentre within the Australian non-productive public sector which in Australia is composed of a substantial proportion of those born into the late Cardinals…

Double Cross Decoys and DEI Afflict Israelis

October 7 Introduced Psychological Warfare to Middle East The extent and effect of the DEI industry campaign against Israel will be viewed as a contributory element in the October 7 attack because of increasing evidence that Israel’s false sense of security stemmed from a reluctance to detonate resentment in the West’s politico media class. The nation’s determination to sidestep a pre-emptive incursion was in the face of demonstrable evidence that the attack was being war gamed within Gaza. Israel in the lead up to the invasion displayed unparalleled levels of a willingness to be duped in the form of an…

Hollywood Converging Content Mystery of TV in New Zealand

Foreign owner accelerated evaporation of Point of Difference between Television rivals The mystery of why Television Three’s Newshub operation converged in content with the content of the South Seas nation’s competing government controlled media is another example of the perils of New Zealand’s infrastructure falling into foreign ownership. The nation’s only independent free-to-air television broadcaster is in fact owned in the United States by Warner Brothers Discovery. This meant a Hollywood-grade infusion of active progressivism added to the channel’s existing tendency to anyway embrace unquestioningly and unbidden such causes. The result was that instead of establishing a clear point of…

Transgender Transcends Justice in New Zealand

New Third Sex Identity Classification Obfuscates Enforcer Duties Transgenderism has emerged as the flagship politico-media outrage flashpoint in a nation which barely a generation ago exulted in a culture of exaggerated masculinity. Not long ago the nation revelled in the exploits of its sporting, military and property tycoon heroes. No longer. The pinnacle of achievement postulated in the more activist wings of politics and throughout the legacy media is now embodied by those of a very different category. It is comprised of those who have switched their genders, or who are in the process of doing so. The transition is…

Insurer Ignores Homeless Burned Out Farm Family

Gender Transition Fire Starter Suspect Dodges Court. At 4am on the morning of October 11 2022 David Morrison awoke to the sound of his dog barking outside. He opened his front door and was greeted by a sheet of flame coming from a stack of tyres soaked in petrol. Thus began a long nightmare for the Morrison family accentuated by the refusal of their insurance company to fully compensate Mr Morrison for a conflagration that the police, the insurance company, as well as the Morrisons all agree was the deliberate work of a third party. The suspect was rapidly identified…

Oceania Thespians Tracked Culture Scene Change

Annie Goldson Film Documents Fringe Players at Hinge of Modern Times The Age of Aquarius took its time in making landfall in Oceania. It was said that someone who missed London’s zany swinging 60’s could catch up simply by arriving in Wellington in time for the 70s which is where and when Red Mole started. A theatrical free form group merging elements of vaudeville, the fringe, and the circus Red Mole had some early commercial success by teaming up with the undisputed Queen of the capital’s night life throughout the 1970s. This was Carmen (pictured) who had begun life as…
