A typical week for my kids, last year, before everything went bonkers, is as follows…
Old timetable
Monday -band practice (they played in a local band that performed at Xmas events, etc)
Tuesday -soccer practice
Wednesday -free
Thursday -tennis practice, girl guides kitchin
Saturday -soccer
Sunday -free (sometimes skiing, or off road motorcycles)
My kids are not allowed to participate in any of the above activities on any official basis anymore.
New timetable
Monday -tennis practice (this is due to a dedicated coach making it happen)
Tuesday to Friday -free
Saturday -meet up with other teens with similar circumstances.
Sunday -free (sometimes offroad motorcycling on a friends farm)
We have pulled our kids out of school this year and put them into a dedicated online school because of all the disruption caused by sudden lockdowns, and a school that couldn’t cope. We also wanted to avoid any discrimination about their status.
(At this point, schools are running again with restrictions, but this can change overnight.)
The biggest concern we did have for our kids was the social isolation. Therefore, we started a teen group for them, where we meet up every week for a BBQ and a game of some sorts.
As an indication of where NZ sits these day’s compared to other countries, I’ve researched the requirements for Girl Guides around the world.…
New Zealand, all children must be vaccinated, regardless of age on this page…
“Anyone who is 12 years and 3 months or older will need a valid My Vaccine Pass to participate in person. This includes girls, leaders and parents who come into the meeting space (for example, to drop off or pick up girls of all ages). “
The Canadian Truckers protest has become an inspiration for others around the world.
It’s notable that the Canadian Government, along with a complicit media have been trying to discredit the protest with various tactics. I don’t know how this will all play out in the end, but the protest has already had some tangible results.
1) Quebec has dropped the tax of the unvaccinated 2) Saskatchewan is pledging to scrap V passports by Feb. 28 3) O’Toole has been voted out as Conservative leader 4) Alberta are going to scrap V passports
It also appears that the Canadian Prime Minister is losing control of the narrative as shown by the link below..
This has inspired a truckers protest here in New Zealand, which is still underway as I write this. They are starting from towns all over the country, and are headed for Parliament in Wellington.
It went thru our area late yesterday, so I joined up with a bunch of like-minded protesters in support as they went past.
Of some interest is the changing attitude in New Zealand. Most of the other motorists were either neutral or supportive. It took about 10-15 minutes for all the protest vehicles to go past, and they were quite spread out.
There is even talk of a political parties MP’s (members of parliament) going to talk to the protesters when they get to Parliament in Wellington.
This is in stark contrast to the 15,000 peaceful protesters , who were ignored two months ago.
The story behind this submission of his, is that New Zealand’s largest company is attempting to mandate vaccinations to all of thier staff, contractors , and suppliers.
This is a submission against that proposal

“As predicted, right on schedule, the Government has moved the whole country into the red light setting, choking off any recovery that might have happened. Make no mistake, this has been planned all along and you’ve all been softened up.
This prediction was made on the 5th of January:
A Covid-19 modelling expert says New Zealanders could expect an Omicron outbreak to occur in around 18 days if cases of the variant at MIQ continue to skyrocket.
The risk of Omicron entering the community is “very high” as daily cases at the border overtake the number of new cases in the community, University of Canterbury Professor Michael Plank said.
And now we have yet another failure of the MIQ system. Another failure of the vaccines and the vaccine passes that they told you were designed to halt the spread of the virus.
We haven’t dodged it at all. The expert was wrong, again. And yet here we are, with the entire family from Nelson and almost every other person infected with Omicron, described as fully vaccinated.
Has the penny dropped for you yet? It certainly hasn’t with our idiot Government who think that they are going to stamp out a virus that no country on earth has managed to stamp out.
They’ve ignored their own rules that say the red setting is for when the hospital system looks like being overwhelmed. Given that there are zero people in ICU anywhere in the country, this is contrary to what we’ve been told red is all about.
Bizarrely, and ignoring all the evidence around the world regarding Omicron the tyrant stood at the ‘podium of truth’ and implored everyone to get jabbed and get boosted. Let’s see how that has worked for Israel:
The Israeli Ministry of Health announced this week that more than 72,000 people tested positive for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, the largest rise in infections since the start of the pandemic.
Total active cases in the country rose to nearly 400,000 people, of whom 533 are currently hospitalized in critical condition, according to a Jan. 19 statement posted by the country’s health ministry.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett warned this month that CCP virus cases are expected to increase rapidly amid the spread of the Omicron variant, as he presented government data that indicates two to four million Israelis are predicted to be infected with COVID-19 during the current outbreak.
“Information presented at a cabinet meeting indicates that in Israel, overall 2–4 million citizens will be infected in the current wave,” Bennett’s statement reads.
Epoch Times
Yet Ardern claimed at her press conference that “The difference to previous outbreaks is we are now well vaccinated and well prepared.”
Last week she said this:
“The evidence tells us that while 2 doses of the vaccine makes a huge difference for the Delta variant, it’s the booster that will help get us through Omicron” pic.twitter.com/x3dxKcAg2x
Israel was well vaccinated, and on to their fourth dose. New Zealand has barely started the third dose. You’ve all been conned. And still, they lie:
“The evidence from overseas suggests [Omicron] moves very quickly,” Ardern said. “Red will make a difference.”
NZ Herald
Red won’t make a blind bit of difference, just you wait and see.
Ardern said the focus was now on getting people their boosters. The Government is sticking to the four-month gap between the second dose and booster but that would be continually reviewed.
The COVID-19 vaccines have largely failed in stopping the transmission of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, especially for the most recent Omicron variant, so the vaccine mandate should be thrown away, according to Dr. Peter McCullough.
“The vaccines themselves have basically now become obsolete as the virus has continued to mutate,” McCullough told NTD’s “Capitol Report” in an interview broadcast on Wednesday. “So at this point of time, the vaccine mandates have to be dropped across the board.”
McCullough said some recent studies have shown the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines dropped significantly with the new variants.
“There’s a paper by Young-Xu in JAMA, the prior Delta strain that was only about 20 percent covered by the vaccines. Vaccines were very ineffective against Delta,” McCullough said.
The study, which is peer-reviewed and published on the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) last month, found that during the high-Delta period, the estimated vaccine effectiveness was 62.0 percent in the first month and decreased to 57.8 percent by month three. The decrease in vaccine effectiveness accelerated after month four, reaching a low of approximately 20 percent in months five through seven.
“And now a paper from Hansen from Denmark, and from the UK public health security report indicated, against Omicron the vaccines are basically ineffective,” McCullough continued.
The Danish study, a preprint and has not been peer-reviewed, found that vaccine effectiveness against Omicron was initially 55.2 percent and 36.7 percent for Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, respectively, but waned rapidly over time. By comparison, vaccine effectiveness against Delta was significantly higher and better preserved over the same period.

You all bought the lies and now the debt to the truth that those lies incurred is going to be paid by you. Your jobs are on hold again, your businesses are going to suffer and all because the Government stupidly followed the failed strategies of the rest of the world and lost their collective minds. Worse still, they brainwashed you all into believing that they knew what they were doing.
They don’t, and they never have. They have constantly flown by the seat of their pants and this time Omicron is going to expose them for the frauds they are.
The Government doesn’t trust you. We know this because they mandated vaccinations. They forcibly medicated you and told you it was better for you. Then they brought in their evil and divisive vaccine passes and created two classes of citizens, and gloated about doing it.
Soper: “The new system of course it does create two types of New Zealand citizen”
Ardern: “I wouldn’t define it in that way”
Cheng: “You’ve basically said this is gonna be like…two different classes of people”
Well, how have those vaccine passes and the segregation worked out for you all? Not well at all, with most of those getting Omicron and those infected since the pass system segregated our society having been fully vaxxed. Again, this was something I warned you about.
More proof that the Government doesn’t trust you is the fact that instead of doing what almost every other OECD nation in the world did by making Rapid Antigen Tests easily available, they put onerous restrictions in place in order to ration the tests. If you wanted a RAT test then you had to be treated like a plague carrier and you could only do the test at pharmacies.
Now with Omicron upon us, we still have test rationing in place and, bizarrely, they are still using PCR tests when the CDC has stopped using them because of false positives. WHO also recommends 20 cycles for the PCR test to avoid false positives, yet NZ is using 45 cycles.
RATs are still not going to be rolled out everywhere, they will only be available at some testing stations. And to prove they are rationing, only available if you are symptomatic. The bottom line is this, the Government doesn’t trust you to test yourself AND they have a very limited supply of test kits and testing capacity.
So, here we are more than two years into the pandemic, billions upon billions more in debt and not a single new hospital, not a single new ICU bed, not any increase in headcount of medical staff, in fact, their mandates have culled hundreds of health care workers out of the workforce. It’s all been an evil and nasty joke on you all.
If you aren’t angry yet, you bloody well should be.
Now, if you go and get tested and come up positive you will have to isolate for 24 days, along with others in your households. That is a clear incentive to not get tested.
And to rub salt into the divisive wounds the Government created, Grant Robertson wants to kick the unvaccinated even harder.
I’m sick of the lies, I’m sick of hearing about Covid, I’m sick of hearing from Jacinda Ardern and Ashley Bloomfield.
Say no to mandates, say no to vax passes, say no to testing, say no to masks. They are not for your health, they are meant to control you. Complying just encourages them. Furthermore, the evidence is non-existent that any of that actually works, just pull your heads out of the sand and look at the rest of the world:
“Would we be so stern toward people making similar or worse health choices to smoke, drink alcohol or not wear a helmet when riding a bike? Over 85,000 Americans die annually from alcohol, yet we don’t have the same public health fervor or requirements to save those lives. Let’s encourage vaccination rather than activate the personal liberty culture wars that result in people becoming more entrenched in their opposition.”
Epoch Times
If it were about health then alcohol and cigarettes would be banned. This has never been about health, it’s always been about control, and most of you ceded control of your own lives to the Government under the guise of public safety.
