KCDC review of the Keeping of Animals, Bees, and Poultry Bylaw 2010

30 Wednesday Jun 2021

Posted by Waikanae watchers in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

This is unlikely to affect our urban readers, but those in Reikorangi and parts of Peka Peka will likely be affected.

The council states–


 

This year we are reviewing the Kāpiti Coast District Council Keeping of Animals, Bees, and Poultry Bylaw 2010. After 10 years of the current bylaw being in place, and in accordance with legislation, we’re reviewing the bylaw to make sure it is fit-for-purpose for the next decade.

Reviewing the Bylaw

The draft Keeping of Animals, Bees, and Poultry Bylaw 2021 is designed to help manage the keeping of animals, bees and poultry throughout the Kāpiti Coast District to ensure they do not create a nuisance or become a threat to public health and safety.

The bylaw covers a range of activities, including:

  • Animals (excluding dogs) listed under the Animal Welfare Act 1999, as well as including specific mentions for poultry, roosters, and “stock”.
  • The keeping of animals, not wild animals.

Key additions to the revised Bylaw are:

  • ensuring public health and safety around apiaries (beehives),
  • the prevention of poultry noise nuisance in our urban areas,
  • the discouragement of feral animals in the District; and
  • supporting online information for the Bylaw on Council’s website.

What the draft Bylaw doesn’t cover

  • Wild animals that are free and not ‘kept’.
  • Pest management as this is covered by the Wellington Regional Council Pest Management Plan 2019-2039
  • Dogs are not included because they are covered under the Dog Control Bylaw 2019.
  • Animal welfare is addressed in the Animal Welfare Act 1999.

More, including how to make a submission

would Billy T. James have been attacked by the Woke Brigade for this sketch?

30 Wednesday Jun 2021

Posted by Waikanae watchers in Uncategorized

≈ 7 Comments

by Geoffrey Churchman

In my opinion Billy T. James was NZ’s greatest ever comedian and all-round entertainer, and his TV show from the late 1980s was wildly popular. This sketch was one of my favorites. But after seeing the ferocity with which activist Lee Williams was attacked by the Extreme Left over his spoof of a certain Maori Party MP, it made me wonder if the (albeit more moderate) PC Brigade which developed would have claimed “racist!” about this today?

As Who vocalist Roger Daltrey commented recently (see post) the Wokeists are creating a dull, miserable society in which those who scream “I’m offended” get headline treatment in the Legacy Media — and more disconcertingly, then embark upon vendettas against that person by agressively lobbying family, employers, making false claims to authorities, and so on.

The Wokeists are a blight on society and should be disregarded. Unfortunately the ‘hate speech’ notions of Jacinda & Co. are set to make things a whole lot worse.

Waikanae Post Office, 1950s

About 50 years on from the photo taken in the late 1900s but not much has changed — an Austin A90 has replaced the pony trap but there are still bicycles propped against the exterior. Another structure has replaced the original house on the left.

a poster of the Dear Leader (the other one) in Gaza

The boy is trying to emulate the wave of Dear Leader, but it looks more like a salute that would put you on the radar of the Thought Police in Jacindaland.

even Tova slams Jacinda’s ‘hate speech’ notions

29 Tuesday Jun 2021

Posted by Waikanae watchers in Uncategorized

≈ 4 Comments

Normally, the Dear Leader’s most devout tele-evangelist, Tova O’Brien has got stuck into her in a piece on Newshub headed “Jacinda Ardern has misled the public and shut down debate on hate speech laws”.

“OPINION: Jacinda Ardern is wrong about her own hate speech law. Completely and utterly wrong.

“Not only is the Prime Minister wrong about the basic facts of the proposal, she was wrong to shut down debate on hate speech on The AM Show this morning with her glib, inaccurate dismissals. 

“The Prime Minister and Ministers develop policy and set policy directions for law. If they don’t understand the policy direction and intent of the law, how can they expect the judiciary to interpret and apply the law?”

India could sentence WHO Chief Scientist to death for misleading over Ivermectin and killing Indians

29 Tuesday Jun 2021

Posted by Waikanae watchers in Uncategorized

≈ 9 Comments

The Indian Bar Association (IBA) sued WHO Chief Scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan [pictured] on May 25, accusing her in a 71-point brief of causing the deaths of Indian citizens by misleading them about Ivermectin. There is also an updated legal notice on June 13, 2021.

Point 56 states, “That your misleading tweet on May 10, 2021, against the use of Ivermectin had the effect of the State of Tamil Nadu withdrawing Ivermectin from the protocol on May 11, 2021, just a day after the Tamil Nadu government had indicated the same for the treatment of cv-19 patients.”

If a trial in India finds WHO Chief Scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan guilty then the WHO Scientist could be sentenced to death or life in prison. Dr Soumya Swaminathan would have be charged with the threatened criminal prosecution and be found guilty on one of the those charges.

The Government of Tamil Nadu has published new treatment protocols for cv-19 patients that leaves out the use of ivermectin, which had been included in a previous version. The new protocols describe three categories of cv-19 patients based on the level of care they need: home-based, primary care and pre-hospital care. It leaves hospital care out. The tests to determine the category to which a patient belongs are oxygen saturation (SpO2) and respiratory rate.

Advocate Dipali Ojha, lead attorney for the Indian Bar Association, threatened criminal prosecution against Dr. Swaminathan “for each death” caused by her acts of commission and omission. The brief accused Swaminathan of misconduct by using her position as a health authority to further the agenda of special interests to maintain an EUA for the lucrative vaccine industry.

tennis: 2021 Wimbledon underway

29 Tuesday Jun 2021

Posted by Waikanae watchers in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

by Roger Childs

Inside the grounds, it’s heaven: you’re hit by the sophisticated, well-groomed Britishness that the All England Club does so well. –Veteran Wimbledon watcher, Pippa Middleton

The most prestigious of the grand slams

It may lack the flamboyance of Roland Garros, however Wimbledon has its unique English character, rituals and prestige. In the words of coach, Dan Bloxham, it reminds everyone of the heritage of the game. Players regard it as the top grand slam and the competition is always fierce. But don’t you dare wear any colour other than white and that includes everything you’ve got on!

2019 winners

The 2019 gentlemen’s final was one of the best ever, but covid-19 put paid to the scheduled 2020 tournament — with Novak Djokovic outlasting Roger Federer in five sets. He freely admitted that on the day the Swiss maestro was the better player, however the Serb hung in and survived two match points to take the longest Wimbledon final in history 7-6,1-6, 7-6, 4-6, 13-12. In contrast the ladies final saw Simona Halep easily beat Serena Williams 6-2, 6-3.  Sadly the Romanian has had to pull out of this year’s tournament because of injury.

The strange and wonderful world of Wimbledon

Wimbledon is the oldest of the four tennis grand slams. The All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club held its first tournament in 1877 and prior to World War One, New Zealand’s greatest tennis player, Anthony Wilding, won the gentlemen’s singles title four times. 

It is the only grand slam to be played on grass and inevitably the surface deteriorates as the tournament progresses. The first centre court match this year between defending champion Novak Djokovic and Jack Draper was played on a beautifully groomed, blemish-free lawn.  However, in fourteen days’ time, the finalists will have to contend with worn and dusty baselines which will cause them on occasions to slip and slide.

Anthony Wilding

Tradition is a key part of the Wimbledon fortnight. In the seats at one end, fashionable dresses and suits, collars and ties are de rigeur for the rich and famous who attend and strawberries and ice cream is the favoured lunch time snack (in 2017 a remarkable 27,887kg of Kentish strawberries were consumed.)  The Ralph Lauren fashion house dresses the ball girls and boys in conservative navy blue and the umpires and line officials to provide the right Wimbledon look.  As a spectator you can get the Ultimate Wimbledon Fan Pack which includes towels, caps, tennis balls, umbrella, water-bottle, shopper bag and official history

The two individual competitions are quaintly referred to as the ladies’ and gentlemen’s singles. If royalty is present, women finalists curtsey before starting their pre-match hit up. 

Cv-19 has meant that the crowds are limited to 50% capacity until the finals which will lessen the pressure on the strawberry fields of south-east England.

Who’s competitive in the ladies’ singles?

Australian Ashleigh Barty is seeded number one, however she will have plenty of competition from eastern Europeans, Aryna Sabalena, Elina Svitlolina, Iga Swiatek, Karolina Pliskova and Petra Kvitova. 

Ashleigh Barty

However, in women grand slams seeding don’t mean a lot. In the recent Roland Garros tournament none of the top 17 seed made it the semi-finals. As it happens neither of the two finalists from the Paris are ranked in top ten at Wimbledon this year. Expect to see women’s seeds drop like flies in the first four rounds.

Serena Williams is seeking her 24th grand slam to equal the record of Australia’s Margaret Court, but the experts feel she is unlikely to do it at Wimbledon this year. At 40 she is probably too old and too heavy to match the speed and skill of the many talented players in the draw, some of whom are half her age.

Tough competition amongst the men

The French Open finalists, Stephanos Tstisipas and Novak Djokovic will be in the mix as the Wimbledon finals approach. As world number one Djokovic has to be the favourite, having won his 19th grand slam in Paris. If he pulls off the 2021Wimbledon title the Serb will equal the record held by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Sadly the Spaniard is not playing in this year’s tournament.

Although seven times winner Roger Federer is very much at home on grass, his lack of match play this year makes him unlikely to be a threat to the top seeds. However, the crowds will still enjoy watching him play and local hero Andy Murray.

As well as Djokovic and Tsitsipas, players likely to make the quarter finals include Danill Medvedev, Alexander Zverev and Mateo Berrittini. The men’s seeds are always more predictable than the women.

One thing is certain over the next two weeks – Wimbledon will live up to expectations with plenty of exciting, top quality matches and numerous upsets.

we need racial unity, not division

29 Tuesday Jun 2021

Posted by Waikanae watchers in Uncategorized

With the racial division being deliberately and aggressively pursued by the Jacinda government, here are a couple of images showing what we really need — where someone’s skin colour and ancestry doesn’t matter, everyone has equal opportunity, rights and obligations and where people live in harmony.

Obviously Australia — we need the equivalent meme for New Zealand.
