1974: Pizza Hut
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Today in New Zealand history, 8 September, 1974, the country got its very first Pizza Hut. This was in New Lynn, Auckland. It was the first Pizza Hut restaurant to open and was the last to close. I’ve been to this one but it has since been flattened to make more car parks at Lynmall. […]

By Anarchist History of New Zealand
James Pope was New Zealand’s first Inspector of Native Schools and in that capacity he wrote what was once a very famous handbook: Health for the Maori: A Manual for Use in Native Schools. It was published by the Government in 18841 and for some years after. Then, as now, it is common knowledge that […]

2010: Meet The Colemans
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Back in time, before Progressive Enterprises handed the car keys of their New Zealand empire to General Manager of Everything, Kiri Hannifin, Countdown had another brand. The supermarket promoted itself as friendly to the white nuclear family and they called this family the Colemans. Elizabeth Ryley, Hannifin’s predecessor, was also a Communications and opinion analytics […]

Countdown Kiri Takes Knives Away
By NZB3
Kiri Hannifin is responsible for the Woke Countdown we know today. And, by extension, why the supermarket’s brand is political. And, therefore, a target for terrorist attacks that is more present and available than any of our (security patrolled) WINZ offices or the parliament grounds or police. For those who are hurt and angry at […]

Rollickin Bloomfield?
By NZB3
Public Service Commission Guidelines are quite clear that a sitting Director General of Healthy is not permitted to appear in someone else’s commercials unless they are first elected to government and then he can go nuts. So I hope ‘Rollickin Gelato‘ is the new name for the Labour Party now Ardern has resigned. This is […]

1978: Bloody Friday
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
On 9 June, 1978, Southland farmers took desperate measures to protest the industrial chaos across the meat industry, exacerbated by the worst drought much of the province had seen since 1956. Farmers ran 1300 ewes down Dee St before slaughtering them on a Victoria Ave section as a public spectacle. These are Honour Culture people […]

“Doubling Down”
By NZB3
Since when did holding a view become “doubling down?” That’s a scare term for people who are resolute and don’t agree with you. A baby who refuses to eat silver beet the second time you offer it isn’t doubling down. He’s displaying a consistent preference. A horse that isn’t thirsty even though you hit him […]

1994: Ivomec Music
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Ivomec is a long-standing product in New Zealand for treating “parasitic infestations with a well-established, broad-spectrum action.” And maybe more. Back in 1994 they gave us this ad campaign based on an earlier spoof of a musical fence in Country Calendar. This video is mentioned on NZ on Screen and Te Ara but they don’t […]

1918: Uncle Scrim’s Pandemic
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
‘Imagine, if you will, a vaccine so safe you have to be threatened to take it. For a disease so deadly you have to be tested to know you have it.’ We live in strange days indeed! The New Zealanders who faced the Influenza Pandemic of 1918 no such propaganda was required. They were quite […]

Vaccine Risk Premium
By NZB3
The mainstream now admit that both COVID and the vaccine kill people. They had to because somebody all too obviously died. So now it’s just a matter of numbers. Like driving on our roads. Or, proximity to rivers and beaches. If we allow it to happen then some of us are going to die. Make […]

The Tarkin Effect
By NZB3
I think it’s more of a quadratic relationship not a linear one. But it certainly has a positive gradient. That’s very bad news for Australian and NZ governments who thought, actually thought, the slope was negative. Sorry about that morons.
