I am in the UK and every council and business has money for the rainbow flags but nothing for any other charities. My company every year trots out the being inclusive crap and puts out the flags and we know its because they are being financed by the LGBT 🏳️‍⚧️ lobby. Nothing for cancer charities or as you suggested women’s refuges.

The pot of gold at the end of the 'rainbow' was real after all, eh?

Oh yes, and they all want their greedy mitts on it.👍🏻

Dunedin’s debt is over a billion. What is Christchurch’s?

So similar but not quite as bad as ours per capita. For comparison I’ve seen someone talking about Saskatoon’s being really bad at about 200 million for 264k population

That's not as bad as ChCh's. We have a bit less than twice Saskatoon's population, and have several times more than 200 million in debt.

Yes that was what I was trying to point out. That ours was a lot worse but that in Saskatoon they were already apoplectic about it. I guess I didn’t make my point clearly.

I’ve also seen someone say that the security for our debt is the housing stock of the city..

Surely that would be difficult to put up as security for the Counci's borrowing? Wouldn't it more likely be the Council's assets which are used as security?

I guess we’ll find out when the lenders call in the debts.

Here it is 1 million a week in interest which is completly unsupportable. Whether Mayor Hawkins or Mayor Radich - looks like there’s been no change in policy whatsoever. The only difference is that Radich would understand the problem but is still doing nothing about it.

At least it will cheer you up a bit.

There's no such thing as "the LGBTIQ community". The LGB was colonised by the TQ.

The gay gym/sauna here in Dunedin I’m told is fully onboard with sex not gender.

But nevertheless there has been too much gay support of the additional TQ.

Its mutually exclusive ffs

Yep ; I call it out - its big tech investment in big data; greenfielding in once sovereign healthcare / govt agendas ; the idea is they get control of Mothers' reproductive power and dismantle the family unit ; the impressionable young; the looming costs of the population and the aim to contain and control the market and just the sheer business options in coopting womens' legitimacy by superceding even a womans separate and once protected status under our developing Womens' Rights in the family law .. for one example .. imagine the Mother's rights when it comes to family law and the ability to have any protected status when it comes to where the kids are placed !?
