Repeats of spongebob are more popular than CNN according to Tim Pool. Hopefully they actually decide to make some changes about the way they do things .

First thing I’d do would be sack Brian Stelter , useless twat looks like he went bald without ever going through puberty.

Interesting, pretty impressive stuff in the Uk regarding reducing greenhouse gases.

Herald is sinking to new lows. The lead story at the moment isn't about the tragic loss of life, or the motivations of the attackers. It's Katie Hopkins saying something about Jacinda Adern. Because that's what's important right now. Katie fucking Hopkins. Fuck media is just the pits these days.

Death toll up to 290 now. Just unbelievable.

Just be thankful it’s not more news about fucken Notre Dame.

That has done quite a bit this week to convince me rich cunts are the pits too

Ah notre dame, theres been 470 attacks on churches in France in the past year but before the fire was even out the authorities were able to say it wasn't arson.

Given it was undergoing restoration, my guess was that it could be a Cutty Sark scenario where they already know who did the equivalent of leaving the industrial vacuum cleaner on..

You are probably right, it happens .

@taniwharugby Did we ever hear what happened about the (Nelson?) firefighter in a similar position?

Edit to add: Maybe there are a fuckton of details missing, but I'm so confused why that family would be denied residency when they are clearly self sufficient and contributing to the economy, plus providing a lot of jobs for a small business.

Essentially, to meet the requirements of the Entrepenur (business) residency category, they have to improve the business they purchased, not just run it well. Otherwise, people could obtain residency essentially for free by buying a good existing business and running it adequately which is not the purpose of the category.

This would have been part of their initial business plan which their visa was granted on the basis of (because they would not have been granted the visa otherwise), so it's not like they would not have been aware of the requirements, or how they have failed to meet them (INZ decision letters are required to outline the reasons and are usually pretty detailed). This visa is the minister basically saying "one more chance to show your case".

Originally the story said the business they bought wasn't actually as good as its previous owners made out it was and to cover the shortfall the husband became a car dealer to help things out financially. Apparently that affected their business catagory residency becuase the business wasn't meeting an income threshold or similar.

Also they were foolish enough not to deal meth and hang out with hells angels or have a creepy male feminist friend with Arderns phone number.
