“Between September 22-26, 2021, 1001 eligible voters were polled by mobile phone (501) and online (500). The maximum sampling error is approximately ±3.1%-points at the 95% confidence level. For party support, percentages have been rounded up or down to whole numbers. The data has been weighted to align with Stats NZ population counts for age, gender, region and ethnic identification. The sample for mobile phones is selected by random dialling using probability sampling, and the online sample is collected using an online panel.” –TV One website.
TV One is of course a dedicated promoter of the Jacinda government, as are TV3, RNZ, NZME and Stuff which is what they (and several others, see Monday’s post) have been paid by her government from Taxpayers’ money to do. Jacinda & Co. should be pleased. One might have expected that with all her failures and unacceptable policies, her support would be much lower — and it likely would have been if these media organisations weren’t so biased.
We’ve seen other polls which show her party support lower at 38%, but the margin of error plus fickleness accounts for such differences.
What is particularly interesting and not shown in the Colmar Brunton results, however, is that there is a big gender difference. A Curia poll we were sent by the Taxpayers Union a couple of weeks ago showed that support for the Jacinda government among women is about 60% higher than among men. For ACT the gender difference is huge: 9% among women and 22% among men.
She has set a precedent. Another government will follow that precedent and buy the media.
One would like to think a National/ACT government would be more principled than that.
Sadly they all have the same bosses. The faces change but the policies vary little.
Jacinda, All mouth and no trousers, Ardern
Nobody asked me how I felt about her.
Got this reply From Hills LABS,
I sent them email asking what Cycles they run for their direct saliva tests.
This site describes the CT Rates and protocols Hills Labs use by looks of it.
https://www.fda.gov/media/141192/download
cycles seem run at over 30 Ct.
Yet Funny Dr Fauci has said….July 16, 2020, podcast, “This week in virology”: Tony Fauci makes a point of saying the PCR COVID test is useless and misleading when the test is run at “35 cycles or higher.” A positive result, indicating infection, cannot be accepted or believed.
Here, in techno-speak, is an excerpt from Fauci’s key quote (starting at the 4m01s mark through to the 5m45s mark (Faucu begins his first answer to the first questions at the 4m20s mark and begins his second answer to the second question at the 5m26s mark)):
“…If you get [perform the test at] a cycle threshold of 35 or more…the chances of it being replication-competent [aka accurate] are miniscule…you almost never can culture virus [detect a true positive result] from a 37 threshold cycle…even 36…”

Anyway below is the email reply from Hill Labs
Hi Hayden
As you have eluded to, our analysis is done via the Saliva Direct method which is well publicised and validated.
CT values are part of the published protocols, and are dependent on the instruments used.
Based on this, we can not change the CT.
I am curious as to your queries. You obviously have knowledge of PCR.
Do you feel the SalivaDirect methodology has faults? How do you feel it compares to covidSHIELD?
Andrew
Hi Hyden to my knowledge a cycle threshold of 35 returns 95% false positives. 30 less but not by a lot, The limit I had heard should be 25. I can’t recall where I heard this, I’m pretty sure that Fauci has said the same. Did you ask if they are cycling tests from unvaccinated people at higher thresholds than vaccinated people? They are doing this in other countries. It is blatant fraudulent activity.
Hello Cunning5tunt
”Did you ask if they are cycling tests from unvaccinated people at higher thresholds than vaccinated people? ”
No I did not ask these questions, I just ask what the Cycle threshold was?
and to they plan on changing it(CT)?
