  • God people are stupid and one sided on this

    They were suspended for disrupting the democratic vote process.

    It’s not about the haka. Its about a time and a place for democratic voting policy. Democracy is paramount it’s not about any one person, people or groups of people trying to intimate the vote. That happens outside. No one is complaining about doing the haka for or against anything at any other time.

    But when it cones to voting you got to behave.

    It is highly disorderly for members to interrupt a vote while it is being conducted. The right to cast one’s vote without impediment goes to the heart of being a member of Parliament. The threshold at which an interjection during a vote may be considered a contempt is where the interruption could be considered intimidatory

    Thats the wording of the report. But Lemmy is already on their wokey high horse. Minorities can do no wrong.

    The fact of the matter is intimidating voting process is not okay. You are stopping democracy. If a white people acted that way there would be no outcry. The outcry is only about people not being given special treatment for being Maori, if I white person done it the result would have been fine and everyone here would say it’s justified. It sounds like everyone here is racist but NZ actually made a decision not based on race.



  • So many people talk about doing this but few actually do.

    I’ve done something similar involving working holidays. I’m tired now and Covid fucked up my plans and my career is going to be hell to get back into, but I want to change anyway. Just hope I got enough experience and education and brains to climb up the ladder, I just don’t know where yet.

    I’m glad I did it but it isn’t for most.



  • Honestly in some ways this is such a stupid solution to the problem.

    When it comes to cost saving or on the other side of the coin efficiency. The most useful thing is to remove it not make it cheap.

    We should be looking and giving people very good and easy alternatives elsewhere were they don’t need call centres at all.

    I called my doctors a million times to book an appointment and if I could have done it all online I would have. This is how many times I called:

    Went to hospital and Dr told me book drs appointment.

    1. called to book

    2. they call back asked futher questions

    got one (got told to come back by doctor)

    1. can’t book that doctor for the future call up first thing in the morning at our busiest and we can rush you in. (I then got a job so needed to book)

    2. we have no staff call back when we do (didnt say when)

    3. called. We have no appointments call be next week. “Can I book that Dr”? “I don’t know. You’ll have to call back Tuesday”

    4. I’ll call back next tuesday.

    This isn’t fixed with an AI this is fixed by me being able to book an appointment online. If the Dr needs to give me a slip for one booking approval to not be abused so be it. Receptionist doesn’t need to know my business so fuck them.











  • Fuck the Tankies fuck communism entirely, I just got back from Cambodia, got an economics degree and like capitalism, China’s a bunch of dickheads.

    BYD is going to change the world.

    It’s the classic incumbents move slow into new tech. Added with government investment, low labour costs, access to raw materials/adjacent industries, hungry growth focused companies, semi crazy workforce.

    I haven’t drove a BYD or even a electric car for that matter but reading the stats things are going to move fast and the rate they move is going to increase. I can see all the west companies largely losing their overseas market, other than luxury, inside cities. The world’s moved on and people don’t realise.
