“There are the occasional reports of drinks being spiked, so be aware of your drink at all times and don’t accept drinks from creepy strangers.”—Backpacker Guide NZ
Michael Harris was jailed for eight years in 2017 after preying on young men staying at a backpackers hostel he managed, but that sentence has now been reduced to five years and four months.
Over a two years period, he drugged, indecently assaulted and filmed hostel guests, most of whom were international travellers.
He pleaded guilty to 42 charges relating to 18 victims, including indecent assault, disabling by stupefaction and making an intimate visual recording.
….
Some of Harris’ offending occurred when he ran Main Street Lodge between 2012 and 2014.
Young men were given a drink that made them tired and woke up during the night to find Harris pressed up behind them in a “spooning” fashion.
Some recalled Harris telling them he loved them and possible camera lights flashing, while others couldn’t recall any offending.
Harris indecently assaulted a number of other young men, the youngest 15-years-old, in different settings dating back to 2005.
The court considered the most serious offending was that against a young teenager that had required premeditation and misuse of prescription medication. ….

Hey Morrissey,
You know how some people who are vociferously anti-homosexual eventually transpire to be homosexuals themselves?
How can we be sure you are not a closet groper?
Just asking.
Morrissey
What in my post gives you the idea I am anti-homosexual, my friend?

Your stupidity never ceases to amaze me, Morrissey.
Go and look up the word: analogy.
Morrissey
Ooooh, that was a bit hostile, mancave.

Bit of a bold assumption to assume you have any friends, Morris Moron.

Three disgusting creeps have downvoted this. Haven’t you slime got a primary school to haunt? It’s about bell time….

So anyone who opposes your lunacy is a disgusting creep, eh?

Morrisey’s crap has gone. The report function works so well. I would suggest that Morrisey would like to be a groper, but can’t quite get that right. So he tries to make up for his obvious inadequacies by trying to zealously defame those whom he secretly admires…. So often the loudest paedophile denouncers are so often hiding the very cravings they denounce. Now I’m not calling Morrisey a Paedophile. It’s an analogy. It’s been explained on this thread.
I received an email from one of the grandkids today:
“We have pictures of Japanese flags everywhere around the office.
Or the gay boy photocopied his arse at the Xmas party.”

Living in New Zealand you will never see a red sun.
I invite you to come and stand on the eastern banks of the Tenryu River in Iwata-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture on a cold November day and gaze west over the planes towards Hamamatsu.
There you will see the blood-red winter sun low on the horizon, about 20 minutes before it sets.
Nothing like that feeling in New Zealand.

Why is this immigrant woman who pimped her teenage daughter “the most hated woman in NZ”, and having her sentence increased to 10 years?
Yet hundreds of Kiwi women pimp their young daughters out and the authorities ignore it.
Perhaps there is a clause in the TOW protecting the oldest profession for tangata whenua…

Yes I though Ardern was the most hated woman in NZ

As you well know Big Nappy, JA is very very popular and going from strength to strength. She becomes more experienced by the day so the Nat’s chances of her slipping up become more remote by the day. I think they’ve missed their chance and it’ll be a long time before they form a government, thank god.
When it comes to Christmas, trying to lose weight becomes almost impossible when surrounded by fruit cake, ham and piles of pavlova.
…
Tipping the scales at 206kg, Anna didn’t think she was overly unhealthy, and also didn’t believe her diet was completely out of the ordinary. “You don’t weigh yourself when you’re that big,” Anna, a logistics manager in Sydney, told news.com.au.
Ok, she only lost 100kg, and Megan would need to skip Christmas lunch as part of her plan to lose 200kg, but it’s encouraging news!
stigie
She may need to lose more than that Nostra if she is to stop herself running out of breath.
If that doesn’t work, we might see her in parliament next year with a respirator and the daily tally of pies to 4 !~

…..” “You don’t weigh yourself when you’re that big,””…..
Understandable but in cases like this it pays to think outside the box. Just line up behind the logging trucks at your local weigh station.

For those who missed Secondcumming‘s comment a week ago:
My missus, (an ED Nurse), was home yesterday afternoon, and took the opportunity to watch *Question Time*. She was actually quite concerned about the health and wellness of *Megan Woods*. When the camera showed her sitting next to Phil Twyford, she appeared to have completely passed out!
Kiwiblog readers are kind and caring – even in the case of misguided Labour MPs!

Classic video, the good Dr is dreaming whether her next pie be it a steak or bacon and egg !~

Paula Bennett, we’re talking to YOU, sweetie.

Morrissey:

Have you put Paula Bennett on your groper list? And when are we going to see the Labour Party sex camp groper written up? We’ve been waiting for it since you promised us one a few months ago…
Before he sinks entirely beneath the primordial ooze of 2018, though, it’s worth asking, tiredly: What the hell is a minister of the Crown doing on “private business” in Hong Kong?
Also: Why would said minister, signing up for a “Sugar Daddy” dating service, not only use his real name but regularly advise the intended recipient of his distinctly Australian amatory style (“I’m an Aussie lad, I know how to ride a horse, fly a plane and f**k my woman”) just how senior and important he was?
I mean, not that we necessarily look for World’s Best Practice Philandering in the ranks of executive government, but it stands to reason that a gent who is incapable of discreetly getting his rocket polished in an Asian financial centre might not be your best bet for, I don’t know, building a very fast train or regulating the dairy industry.
I must say that “a gent who is incapable of discreetly getting his rocket polished in an Asian financial centre” is up there with the best quotes!
For those wondering, Andrew Broad is another “family values” man who fell short of his own standards.

Typical two-faced Godnutter. Earlier this year he quoted the late Billy Graham thus:
…..”when wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost”…..
The words have come back to bite the moralising prick on the arse.
Looks like the Immigration officials have had to take one up the chuffta to satisfy Sleaze-Galloways lust for revenge for being caught out as a lazy prick.
It`s taken them all long enough to come up with this feeble play.
Wonder if the deputy chief gets a bonus for having to sit thru that charade?
The Immigration New Zealand report writer goes on to say: “the implication being that the authorities would kill him while making it look like an accident”
Heh, quite the Walter Mitty is Sroubek, I doubt he is as important as he thinks he is to the Czech Authorities.
…..”They all spoke of his good character and use words like “gentle” “kind” “helpful” “respectful” and “considerate” to describe him.”…..
Is Two Fathers too thick to know that no one has yet written a testimonial that reflects poorly on the subject? If you want the truth speak directly to the referee.
It is pertinent when renting out a house or offering employment & I can see little reason why it shouldn’t apply when offering residency to prison inmates.

Throwing the officials under the bus !

Yup was listening to Larry Williams. Something doesn’t stack up as he played the bit where immigration said they didn’t know, now it seems they did. Looks like someone has been trying to play this out and slowly all the lies and fabrications are being unravelled. Lying, corrupt, stupid. That’s how this pathetic excuse of a government will be remembered.

This case consumed the Nats and their taxpayer funded resources. They crossed all sorts of boundaries for nothing. This was their big chance and it’s turned to dust in their mouths.
Happy holidays all – yes, even you stephie. Regardless of your beliefs and political persuasion I hope you all get some time to spend with family and relax.
As a rich white male prick I’m off to Cromwell for a couple of weeks…I have a calling for some Central Otago Pinot Noir, and no Internet at the holiday home – bliss.
Just something to ponder over the break – a former MP and benefit-fraudster is back on the benefit.
