A brand new talk for ACCU 2021 - some place we have all been, how to successfully rewrite and replace a Legacy System.
Feedback welcomed.
"New Zealand First leader Winston Peters has used a speech at Orewa to call protesters objecting to a housing development at IhumΔtao "malcontents who got so much unjustified publicity, sticking mainly in the throat of traditional MΔori".
He says his party said no to Labour "three times" during the search for a solution to the situation at IhumΔtao, and refused a request from its coalition partner to invoke the "agree to disagree" clause.
"For us, it was a matter of deep principle. For us, it was fundamental to whether we maintained confidence in Labour. So we told Labour that. And staved off any action before the election."
Peters says Labour will do a deal over IhumΔtao if elected - and that deal would cause a "domino effect".
"If you don't want a new wave of claims on previously settled Treaty [of Waitangi] claims, it's in your hands... If the Crown weakens its resolve after the election you just watch the flood of action on previously settled Treaty claims.
"All of a sudden new 'sacred ground' will be discovered all around the country. And if that happens the whole Treaty framework will unravel and the cost will be unbearable."
Peters says Labour leader Jacinda Ardern "halted the Fletchers housing development at IhumΔtao" without consultation New Zealand First, which should have occurred as per their coalition agreement.
"That intervention was a terrible decision. The land's history was that it was freely sold to Fletchers by the local iwi, the keepers of the land."
He criticised Pania Newton, who led action to stop the housing development including an occupation of the land, saying she "sought to overturn a legitimate sale. Worse, she seeks to create an entire new wave of Treaty claims. To perpetuate grievance, to unpick settled Treaty architecture."
Peters says New Zealand First would stop any "dangerous settlement at IhumΔtao" if elected.
After delivering his speech, Peters was asked why he chose Orewa to deliver his speech, he said: "Because we are in a campaign and every day we have things to announce. I chose Orewa because this is the place I sought to announce it. There's nothing special about that. Have you got a problem with the people of Orewa hearing the truth?"

"Let's not have this view that somehow it is all the white man's fault and if it were not for that, MΔori would be, in terms of looking after their children and their people and their women in particular, perfect," he said.
"See what sort of society, at the early part of cohabitation as populations and as cultures, was happening in this country, because it wasn't all the paradise that people say so.
"For all its failings, I am so glad that the English got here and settled this country rather than some other cultures, because with all its failings, it is so much better than all the rest of the world."
[Don't link to colonial media and other racist profiteers, it just boosts their rating in algorithms and in the minds of white power scum.]
Of course Maori don't blame all Europeans at all. Plenty of Maori love open European cultures and living in Europe. It's the ONGOING racism of some 'European' collectives. Particular local British Colonial Pakeha who are seen once again to be assaulting Maori with desperate, paid off Maori. As they've always done. Plenty of Europeans, Brits & others have figured this out. Awesome liberal Brits, & Americans, appear to have lost the will and ability to deal to childish neo-nazi political tactics. They don't teach the brutal colonial histories, like here. They need to stand and fight for decency and we would support them. But not as 'loyal Maoris', but as mates and allies.
Why are useless old indoctrinated kupapa still getting away with repeating this British Colonial ass-kissing for the privilege of a few Maori at the expense of all other Maori. They get their high positions by using Maori then pull the ladder up after themselves and repeat the same psychological warfare, shitting on the mana of all Maori, with Colonial Security Forces, that causes suicides. Fuck National and Act and their fake Maori opportunists. Nevermind Mike King's Mea Culpa Campaign - that needed to point to Kaupapa Maori - not some of the clueless picks he made. He's right about open communication but he can't see the real cause which is colonialist boomers yelling all over the country that Maori don't matter. On the stolen land and graves of our ancestors. They're ignorant and arrogant and self-serving and they need to be cleared away - because they have absolutely no fucking idea of the damage they cause in their privileged colonial fantasy. Jacinda is genuinely nice but
... keep reading on reddit β‘I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.

In the Jurassic Park/World series, there are many characters who aren't necessarily the main ones. Grant, Sattler, Hammond, Harding, Malcolm etc.
Whom do you think is an under appreciated character? Or your favourite underrated character?
Some come to my mind.
Eddie Carr, sacrifices himself to save the rest of the group.
Gennero, okay bare with me on this one. I know he's the 'spineless' lawyer, but he really does have a good arc. His death scene is hilarious and he really does provide a good lens for that more amoral capitalist look. 'We're going to make a fortune' etc
Same could go for Peter Ludlow.
Nedry, arguably the villain who started a chain of dominoes to fall, he is sleazy, not your typical villain, great fitting death scene etc.
Masrani, like Carr, sacrifices himself.
Just curious as I hear a lot (understandably) about characters such as Tembo, Muldoon, Stark, Wu, etc.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
