People wishing to become Kiwi's, New Zealanders that is, will be taught N Z values before they are allowed in. This initiative has been launched in an attempt to avert tension and violence between locals and newcomers as well as those already settled.
Federation of islamic associations of New Zealand president Javed Khan said he welcomed the education plan, as long as it did not evolve into a series of compulsory tests.
More is the pity the Australian Fed govt can't pull its finger out and co-ordinate a similar set of values for indigenous New Zealanders arriving here willy nilly without residential permits. About 3% of the population of New Zealand are now domiciled in Australia. Most of the males are employed in the security businesses like bouncers in clubs; due to their overpowering body size.
Australian prisoner of war, David Hicks say's his time of illegal imprisonment by the American global terrorists in Guantanamo Bay concentration camp; was a torture, the like of which was endured by inmates of Nazi Germany's WW2 Concentration camps or those confined in the various "Gulags" of Soviet Russia era notoriety. All though well fed and probably with a few extra gobs from his jailers to make the gravy go further, it seems the abominable brutal yanks were trying to feed him - rather than starve him - into submission.

Australia's "Right wing One Nation party leader Pauline Hanson the former fish and chip shop owner and bed pal of party follower David Oldfield, admitted that she was uneducated, but insisted that success that came without any formal education, can be held somehow to be a badge of honour.
And it is no dishonour to have been denied the privilege of a higher education, in our history, there is no shortage of Australians who have achieved great distinction despite humble beginnings and a lack of formal education opportunity. Ms Hanson may consider she is among their ranks. Those with higher education skills, Mainly brought about by being fortunate to have wealth or position in life, and who scoff at the efforts of those they consider lesser when they make an effort to display their limited skills in their own style, are merely grammatical bores who consider a Greek or Latin word adds weight to their opinion, [Z Fish, take notice you nasty little worm]
A FAT, satisfied workaholic who enjoys spending and technology, and wouldn't trust oil companies as far as he could throw them. I would say that's about the average snapshot of today's Fair dinky di Australian. Australians are more satisfied with their lives than ever before, and 2007 is the year of feeling comfortable, but also of tough choices, the vast majority of Australians are very satisfied with their lives and did not want to work less, also married people were more satisfied with their lives than singles. How long have you been married, are you happy ? Or if not let me Know why. Anyhow, everyone have a great day .Vest daily gaggle.

Labour sperm donors: new lapel pin and ear-tagging for honors recipients

Gong recipients with personalised badges
London - (Ass Mess): Easy recognition of cash-for-honors gong-winners has been announced today in the form of a lapel pin bearing the ancient heraldic symbol of the asshole rampant. Newly created Life Peers can also choose a personalised form of the badge, for instance the fistful of cash, the Prime Monsterial (tennis) racket or the offshore tax haven slush fund PO Box number emblazoned in brass.A variation on the lapel pin under consideration is the ovine/bovine ear tag with easily accessible bar code that may be worn by local government workers and IT consultants honored for their work on the government's NHS computer.Lord Archer will be offered the option of electronic tagging and this facility may also be something for Lord Levy to sport in the New Year once the Met has completed its bungs-for-honors probe.Also under consideration are elements of the successful pet micro-chipping scheme which could be adapted to warn anti-terror police that Global Piss Process luminaries such as JK Rowling and Cliff Richards are in the vicinity of sensitive UK landmark buildings.Civil servants are to get their own variation on the gongs emblem: the gagged-for-life-sinecure lapel pin showing Lord Levy astride the Sphinx, or a miniature signed copy of the Hutton Report.The swastika remains a popular choice for recipients of House of Mountbatten adulation as does an enlarged diagram of the syphilis microbe, once so popular with Thatcher-era Hellfire Club grandees. The new badge idea seems to be a huge hit already, especially in the MI5 spooky-tricks department where a senior official refused to admit or deny that the latest lapel status symbols contain a SatNav tracking device and automatic bank account scanning facility each time a wearer logs their pin number into an ATM.
The story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious. Well nearly, there's no smoke without fire.

Unforgettable, and Vest remembers St Patricks day in New York
It was during the spring of 1965 when my ship the HMS VERYLAM had called into Hamilton, Bermuda, After being ripped off being charged three bucks for a haircut and later a meal at the services club, I met the local barber in the Ace of Spades club. Most of the guys in the club were either well tanned or locals. after asking what price he pays for a haircut one local told me I had been seen off. I then told the barber that he owed me a beer at least for being dishonest, he then told me as I was a Honky and as a bloody tourist I was fair game and I had a gall to bail him up in the local indigenous club. The barber on the receiving end of some ostracizing looks bought me a beer at the bar and then I him and he me several times until that sad moment an announcement was made that the singer 'Nat King Cole' had passed away, it was the day after St Valentines day Feb 15 1965. As a mark of respect the bar closed and most patrons finished up drinking at the 'Horse and Buggy'.
About a month later my ship was in the Sub base in New London , Conn. A 48 hour pass gave some of our crew a chance to visit New York. the 123 mile journey was interesting , the main scenery was the garbage strewn alongside the railway track. We arrived at Pennsylvania Station, Near 33rd St and it was a riotous St Patricks Day, green everything including the beer, don't ask what happened later, all I remember is getting the train from Grand Central the following day back to New London , oh before I forget, I learned that day it was also Nat King Cole's birthday being celebrated on St Patricks day too, born I believe in 1919.
Our last port of call was Guantanamo bay in Cuba on April 3 1965. My previous visit to Cuba was April 21 in 1958 while serving on the HMS Ceylon. I am constantly reminded when I hear the song by 'Dragon' circa 70's, 'APRIL SUN IN CUBA'. and wonder how many visitors to Cuba have seen the April Sun more times than David Hicks.
APRIL SUN IN CUBA FOR CASTRO
La Paz: Fidel Castro will return to Cuba's presidency on April 28, Bolivia's leader Evo Morales said yesterday. Castro 80 will resume official functions at the third Bolivarian alternative for the Americas, or ALBA, a co-operation between venezuela, Cuba and Bolivia.

SYDNEY, March 11, 2007 08:56pm (AEDT) - The Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard have survived a heart attack. Mr Howard, 67 years old, was at Kirribilli House in Sydney, his prime residence, when he was suddenly stricken. Mr Howard was taken to the Royal North Shore Hospital where the best surgeons of Australia are struggling for his life.
Click on the link below to get the latest information on the health of the Prime Minister:
The Australian - keeping the nation informed
The Hon John Winston Howard became in as Prime Minister of Australia on 11 March 1996, becoming the 25th person to occupy the office of Prime Minister since Federation. This followed the Coalition's decisive Federal election victory on 2 March 1996.
The Prime Minister is representing the Federal seat of Bennelong in the North-Western suburbs of Sydney and has been returned to the Parliament at every Federal election since 1974.
Mr Howard came to office as Prime Minister with extensive senior experience in both government and opposition. He was appointed Minister for Business and Consumer Affairs in 1975 at the age of 36 and subsequently worked as Minister for Special Trade Negotiations and as Treasurer of the Commonwealth for more than five years.
In September 1985 Mr Howard, as Deputy Leader, was elected by his colleagues as Leader of the Parliamentary Liberal Party and, therefore, Leader of the Opposition. He held this post until May 1989. He was returned to the leadership by unanimous vote of his colleagues on 30 January 1995. In the interim period between holding the leadership he served as Coalition spokesman for a number of senior portfolios.
Mr Howard was born in Sydney on 26 July 1939, attending school at Earlwood Primary and Canterbury Boys' High. He went on to the University of Sydney, graduated with a Bachelor of Laws in 1961 and was admitted as a Solicitor of the NSW Supreme Court in July 1962. Prior to his election to Parliament he was a partner in a Sydney firm of solicitors.
The Prime Minister has been active with the Liberal Party since the age of 18 when he joined the Young Liberal Movement and took part in student politics at university.
In addition to his life-long commitment to public service and the Liberal Party, Mr Howard is a keen follower of sport - especially cricket. He enjoys playing tennis and golf and follows the St George Rugby League football team.
Mr Howard married his wife Janette, a teacher by profession, on 4 April 1971. They have three children, Melanie, Tim and Richard. As Prime Minister Mr Howard divides his time between Sydney, where his family live at Kirribilli House, the Lodge in Canberra and, of course, his official commitments in other State capital cities, regional centres and the rest of Australia.

The New South Wales State Elections will take place Saturday March 24-07, Remember the public are always the losers whatever the result
RED & BLUE POLITICIN AINT WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE
A Wild West U/S Town was in a pre election frenzy. The two main Antagonists were a Democrat(labor) bloke wearing red and the republican (conservative) in blue.Rolling into town was the Medicine man with his horse and cart.Both political candidates challenged the medicine man on the validity of his claim, that, his Blue and Red medicines cured certain types of illness at differing times of the year.He Stated. The Red medicine was made from the bark at the top of the LACITILOP tree at the height of summer. The Blue Medicine was made from the bark at the bottom of the LACITILOP tree during the depths of winter.These medications are very similar to those you pollies propose to inflict on the general public, during your pathetic efforts to cure the financial woes of the state.But the truth is, MR RED if you allow him, will skin you from the earholes down.MR BLUE I am certain, will skin you from the toe nails upward.

Vest Remembers. The Birth of the republic of 'GHANA' 58 years ago March 6 1957
Copied from journal.
Soon after taking on fuel at Gibraltar, our ship The HMS CEYLON The flag ship of Admiral Biggs RN, sailed to Takoradi on the Gold Coast of West Africa, where we unloaded stores and provisions for the ceremonies that were to take place further down the coast in Accra, the capital. Almost the entire population of Accra was Negro. They were friendly but misguided by their leaders. “Freedom, Freedom” was their familiar chant. On 6 March 1957 the Gold Coast, Ashanti, and Togoland became ‘Ghana.’
There was much celebration and dancing amongst us and the locals, this generated a fair ‘Whiff’ from the gyrating bodies as they shouted “Freedom! Freedom!” and I then shouting “Rexona! Rexona!”
I stayed at the United Africa Co. Guest House. I remember “Reg H", a well-known red-haired professional cyclist from Nottingham England, who was in Accra flogging Raleigh bicycles to the locals; he had fallen down the stairs. He was not at all well from our binge the night before. Fortunately, he managed to find someone who looked like him to take his place. I recall this visit later in an interview in 1964.
October 15- 1964
During our stay in Portland, England, I was wearing civilian clothes and walking along the jetty on my way home for weekend leave. HMS Wiltshire (or was it Lancashire?), one of the latest 5,000-ton destroyers, had just secured alongside when a voice called down to me from the bridge area. “Come aboard! I want to see you.” I replied that I would, and then went up the after gangway of the ship. When the quartermaster approached me, I told him I was the guest of the commander. The quartermaster replied, “He is our CO ‘captain." After I showed him my security pass from HMS Verulam, he told me to carry on.
I eventually found the mysterious commander who I then remembered as my divisional officer on HMS Ceylon in 1957. In a short space of time, the Commander had revealed to his navigator most of my escapades on HMS Ceylon seven years earlier.
The main one he remembered was the saga of Yours truly in Accra, Ghana on 7 March 1957. I had supposedly telephoned the ship at 6:30 am saying I had lost all my clothes and was in a police station naked, and would probably get back to the ship later in the day.
This story was bandied around the ship in many forms. I became the subject of ridicule. The truth was that I had telephoned the ship at six am in the morning to tell them I was staying at the United Africa Co. Guest House. I said that someone had loaned me a shirt and a pair of shorts because a well-meaning houseboy had washed my uniform, and that I would return to the ship as soon as I could get properly dressed.The ship-to-shore telephone line with its distorted sound certainly added to the misinformation. Twenty-four hours later when I arrived back on board looking clean and tidy, I was told to forget what had happened. Commander ‘Queeg’ had not been interested in my most recent debacle (or in me, for that matter.) Despite this, many jokes about this incident circulated for quite a while.

Soon after taking on fuel at Gibraltar, our ship The HMS CEYLON The flag ship of Admiral Biggs RN, sailed to Takoradi on the Gold Coast of West Africa, where we unloaded stores and provisions for the ceremonies that were to take place further down the coast in Accra, the capital. Almost the entire population of Accra was Negro. They were friendly but misguided by their leaders. “Freedom, Freedom” was their familiar chant. On 6 March 1957 the Gold Coast, Ashanti, and Togoland became ‘Ghana.’
There was much celebration and dancing amongst us and the locals, this generated a fair ‘Whiff’ from the gyrating bodies as they shouted “Freedom! Freedom!” and I then shouting “Rexona! Rexona!”
