Ever since COVID hit NZ and the world I have been writing film scripts. It’s odd how  one big unforeseen  experience in life will shape the mind.   My most recent script is Africa Avenger.  Details are on this website, so I won’t repeat them. If you wish, the script is there to read.  I worked in Africa in several countries  in Development Aid for a NGO.  So my script used some of my experience and much non-experience. The latter is called imagination.  I love Africa. The people I worked with were  family people.  All their money supported their family and others members of the family…Read More →

He talks about democracy and equality. Yet, he loves urgency for his Parliamentary Bills. That means no discussion  and viewpoints from the public. I award him the dark star. Who voted for him. His ACT party  got under  10% of the election vote. Our P.M.  will soon have David Seymour as Deputy P.M. Something is surely rotten in the state of New Zealand.Read More →

Attended it yesterday. A wide range of people there. Several thousand maybe. Hard to tell. Old. Young.  I looked at many of the banners. The protesters  were mainly concerned like me about  the insults and double dealings of the Government on the abuse of the the Treaty. And it is a Treaty that belongs to all of us. I also saw posters about issues of Health, Disability, Education and the abuse of women right to equal pay for equal work.  As a former migrant it’s sad to see  NZ slipping downhill. Luxon and Seymour  are behind  much of this chaos. Collins added to it withRead More →

Without any warning or consultation, National government  cancelled every pay equity claim covering about 180,000 low-paid workers – including nurses, teachers, midwives and care workers. Since then, they’ve been claiming it’s not a cut. The truth is they’re taking money that was going directly to increasing women’s pay to save their budget. That’s a cut and no amount of distraction can change that.Read More →

Note him. His party vote is low.Under 10%.  He believes in referendums that he hopes will bind  the country to ignoring  our relationship with Maori through the Treaty.  Is he fascist? I believe so.Read More →

We have a P.M, alas, here is the NZ choice who seems indifferent to the weak, the unlucky  in capitalism. Has he ever seen a prison or been inside.Read More →

Anti-Semite.  It pays to be one. Take me. I’m popular as I have dealt viciously with the issue. I am Prime Minister and I want to get rid of Semites and I do,  by bombing every day, schools, hospitals and kid in tents too.  Kids grow up to adults. Don’t feed the little bastards. Can be dangerous. Nazism had the words. I have my words. Hitler, Houthi, Hate. The last is a word that resonate at all times.  It gets fed every day. When I was a child myself I learned about The Trojan War which took place some distance from I live now.  TheRead More →

It is appalling that a small party ACT with around 8% of the vote is making policy and taking away equal rights for working women.   And three political parties in  power  support it and  then take it through  to law by  urgency. The Prime Minister can’t even be bothered to be in Parliament. Don’t forget the names of these “leaders” when you vote.    Read More →

Am laughing and crying and feeling frustrated with Nicola Willis and kids and rebates and filling forms to get rebates that are mostly small amounts.  She is a mother. Has she forgotten about the  time and effort and extra effort needed to look after children?Read More →

Sexuality, male, female. It concerns you and me and when we do it in private it is of no concern to anyone else . If we both consent and do not harm others or to use an old cliche – do not scare the horses, leave us alone. Word difference  it how you will, there are so many similarities in life. We work in jobs , play sport, sing and dance.We read, listen to politicians, who fret about holes in the road, orange cones and can find $9 billion overnight but don’t want to feed hungry children. We have a P.M.  who needs training inRead More →
