Rachel Boyack does not return calls or answer questions
A few weeks back I expressed surprise that, on the several prior occasions I'd visited the Saturday Market, I'd seen no sign whatsoever of Nelson's MP. Of course, some of her supporters sought fatuously to challenge my observations with varyingly irrelevances - some like Tim Monck-Mason bizarrely accusing me of "moaning," and others like Ngaire Borlase accusing me of "fake news" and waxing lyrical on how quickly Rachel responded to her e-mails ...
Well, as luck would have it, I was e-mailed by a Nelson man who'd read the touted claims of how upfront Rachel was with her answers - but whose own experience in seeking an answer to a simple question had been markedly different. He'd emailed her FIVE times without getting a satisfactory answer. He did receive "flim flam" replies on two occasions from Rachel's assistant, Sarah Kirby - but nothing like a direct answer from Rachel to the simple question he'd posed.
His question: "Was Rachel aware of the He Puapua Report prior to the last election - and if so, did she keep that knowledge from the electorate?" Obviously it required only a "Yes" or "No" - with more detail for a "Yes" - but curiously, Rachel hasn't been in any way forthcoming.
The writer added: "The fact I can't get an answer is in itself the answer. Labour's road map is leading us all to Zimbabwe."
Well as a result, many more of us are now simply busting to know whether Nelson's MP was in fact aware of the abominable He Puapua Report PRIOR TO THE ELECTION - and if she was - EXACTLY WHY SHE MADE NO MENTION OF IT.
Left unanswered, the importance of this may see it elevated to a question in parliament - but I do look forward to input from Rachel's adherents which, in respect of my last post, were so inordinately edifying, 'though somewhat less than uplifting, to a very interested public.
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
Poll: Would you rather: Christmas in summer forever or winter forever?
Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.
If you had to live out your Christmas days, would you prefer it was a summer Christmas or a winter Christmas?

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
