  1. …what a Tory mindset Tauranga has…
    But, after all, many Brits retire both in Tauranga and in Nelson. LOTS of Masonic Lodge activity there w/ Old Boy Networks…!
    BTW: Where’s Winston?????????
    I wonder IF paper ballots were handed in and the vote count overseen by an unbiased third party?
    Interesting that Sue Grey was the ONLY candidate questioning the jabs based on actual scientific fact and evidence of harm, and presented these findings to a Parliamentary Committee that was rude to her in dismissing the findings…!
    Voters in Tauranga who ignored the O&FP candidate Sue Grey’s well proven integrity and her petition findings to Parliament,…well…perhaps Taurangans deserve every bit of bad government for being lazy in their thought processes and going along with the ‘majority crowd’!!!
    Ja-Baal-Lon…

  2. Uffindel reminds me of the Country Singer Porter Wagoner…lots of entertainment, lots of money, but requiring Dolly Partin to be successful!
    Watch and see if he caves in to more ‘mandates’, demolishing Marsden Point, and Three Waters…!
