NZ Could Be A Bargain Buy

Michael from Pinehaven

Trump wants to buy Greenland the largest island in the world but a much smaller trio of islands could be up for grabs in an equally remote part of the world.

NZ is not only mineral rich, but it is oil and coal rich just what Trump is all about. And land is cheap here especially in and around Auckland.

As well we have in Trump's mind similar looking population stats: 50,000 (Gld) and 5,000,000 (NZ).

The Greenlanders are not much at enthusiastically greeting their owners or potential owner/s but a full Maori group of hundreds with waka and haka would look and sound a lot more impressive than cold handshakes from a huddled group lasting all of 35 seconds.

There could be a Trump Tower in every city in NZ. I'd pitch for one in Silverstream overlooking the Hutt River.

NZ would be a bargain for Trump and the USA as NZ seems to be folding into a recession not only because of the Ardern Government economic and social bunglings but because Trump has been the major architect of a world wide economic and power playing disorder.

Gee, taking over NZ, Trump could look at building the greatest wall in the history of mankind and dinosaurs right in the middle of the Tasman Sea and stop Australia from sending Kiwi crims back to NZ.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
