COMIC POLITICO TV: JULIA GILLARD’S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FOR ASIAN AUSTRALIANS & FRIENDS 2012

Funny TV Quotes: “My dear remaining fellow Australians… The end  of the world is coming. It wasn’t Y2K, it wasn’t even the carbon price… Whether the final blow comes from flesh eating zombies, demonic hell beasts or from the total triumph of K-pop, if you know one thing about me it is this: I  will always fight for you to the very end…

Julia Gillard does her best Maggie Iron-Tile Thatched rusty red roof, TVC impersonation in response to Mayan Calendar superstitious predictions that the globe we live on is meant to be all over on December 21 this year. Economists are working so hard against Christmas cheer this year… I thought she was quite funny in rebutting that. (more…)


RUGBY FARMER ANDREW HORE’S NOVEMBER 2012 INTERVIEW AND FREDERIC MICHELAK, RICHIE McCAW, DANIEL CARTER AND OWEN FARRELL MAKE INTERNATIONAL RUGBY’S TOP HONORS NOMINEES LIST 2012

IN RUGBY SPORTS NEWS: A sports interview after a controversial week in the UK’s sports tabloids for the All Blacks side and international rugby’s top honors nominees finalists for 2012 have been announced same day.

The NZ All Blacks hooker Andrew Hore seemed sincere at press time after his IRB Q+A session post a high tackle hit on Welsh rugby lad Bradley Davies that led to the Welshman seeing a few stars in a hospital mid match. The TV interview link can be viewed on Andrew and Will‘s pic above.

Quick Summary: Lorne Crerar speaking for the IRB said from Bristol, although Andrew’s actions appeared to be deliberate and dangerous, he didn’t strike the player’s head (say is in boxing or rugby punch ups as were witnessed in the good old days of rugby football). Andrew could have had an 8 week ban from the sport’s code, yet his remorse meant a two week ban from the sport. As it is year’s end, the ruling is very fair too.

[Will and Dan Carter in Cardiff Wales, November 24th 2011, a Getty photo].

What the AIG sponsored and NZ player said: “It’s not the All Black way. I’ve let myself and the team down and probably the whole country that’s pretty proud of what we do. I hope Bradley Davies gets back up and running and playing in the Heineken Cup as soon as he can.”

[Will and Richie McCaw in Cardiff, Nov 24th 2012-Getty photo].

As expected Hore will miss this weekend’s season-ending Test against England as well as the Highlanders’ Super Rugby pre-season campaign and their first regular season match against the Chiefs. For an elite rugby star, that is torture enough, to miss your next sport’s appearance, I’m sure. Europe fans of the game, should be happy with that.

Steve Tew’s Comments: NZRU’s Steve Tew said as reported by RadioNZ, “they chose to remain quiet about the system because they didn’t want to influence the hearing.” Sensible. That approach worked for a good result.

In Rugby’s Gongs for the year in Review: Press Release:

Rugby’s IRB Player of the Year 2012 Award Finalists: 11-28-2012.

The International Rugby Board has announced the shortlist of nominees for the prestigious IRB Player of the Year 2012 Award.

New Zealand captain Richie McCaw, his teammate Dan Carter, England fly half Owen Farrell and France fly half Frédéric Michalak are the four players on the shortlist.

McCaw is the only player to receive the individual accolade more than once, having won it in 2006, 2009 and 2010, although Carter could join him as a multiple winner, having been named Player of the Year back in 2005.

For the third year in a row the shortlist includes a player to have graduated from the IRB Junior World Championship to the Test arena with Farrell following in the footsteps of Australian trio David Pocock, Will Genia and Kurtley Beale.

The winner of the prestigious Award will be announced at the Rugby World Cup 2015 Pool  Allocation Draw in London on December 3, along with the IRB Coach of the Year and IRB Team of the Year Awards.

SHARD MAJESTIC INSTANCY POETRY – FRANCIS THOMPSON POEMS – GOLD GATEWAY OF THE STARS

Creative writing: In my Kiwi dream, I woke up today in New Zealand with a vision of Francis Thompson‘s hounds of heaven all up in the Maori King‘s tribal mix, beside a mighty river.

How did that happen? :)

Oh right! It happened via Eternal TV, who flew some winged-poetry:

I fled Him, down the nights and down the days;
I fled Him, down the arches of the years;
I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways
Of my own mind; and in the midst of tears
I hid from Him, and under running laughter.
Up vistaed hopes I sped;
And shot, precipitated,
Adown Titanic glooms of chasmed fears,
From those strong Feet that followed, followed after.
But with unhurrying chase,
And unperturbèd pace,
Deliberate speed, majestic instancy,

MAORI SPORTS ALL BLACKS 2012, CREATING 200,000 JOBS & 5 PEOPLE WE’RE READING – SUNDAY 9.9.12

I just tuned into the Marae Investigates TV program. Willie Jackson and Scotty Morrison were discussing the NZ All Blacks rugby football team. Liam Messam and Piri Weepu were the shizzle. Hosea Gear should have played better. And the New Zealand Maori All Blacks team when they go on tour, should really be playing England and Wales to help these two teams get up to speed with their level of international rugby. Not a bad idea at all! There’s a lot of talk too on the Q+A program about jobs creation, water’s economic profits distribution flows and water’s conservation, and the NZ government still flogging the horse of selling the New Zealand citizens’ owned assets program.

In regards to jobs, I often wonder how we can create more without stripping the landscape so much. Renewable flows as products are more sustainable (like dairy as grass that makes milk regrows itself, whereas coal does not for example) to develop. Of course we need a blend of non-renewable exports and renewable exports leaving NZ, right at this time. We’re in the red as a nation and need to get out of that quagmire of vampiric debt. The Maori All Blacks on tour should help show England, Wales and rugby fans of the world, the creative strength of Maori in creating play. These are the skills also needed to grow an economy from a gridlocked position, into one that is thriving, through decreasing debt by creating more.

Talk is cheap. Promises are mirages without delivery. Promises not delivered on are not as real as an awa (a river) before us. (more…)


JULIA GILLARD’S FATHER JOHN GILLARD DIES, AGED 93

Julia Gillard is leaving the APEC meeting in Vladivostok, eastern Russia and returning home upon the news that her father has died, officials said today.

The Australian prime minister’s parents John and Moira lived in Pasadena in South Australia.

They moved from Wales to Adelaide in 1966 after learning that daughter Julia, born in 1961, suffered bronchopneumonia and the warmer climate in Australia would help the condition.

Mr Gillard, who was 93, worked as a psychiatric nurse but before that had been a coal miner. She has a sister Alison, who is three years older.

-Newstalk ZB.

Sending condolences Ms. Gillard’s family’s way.

WARREN GATLAND LIONS RUGBY COACH REACHES OUT TO COACH ROBBIE DEANS

Newly appointed rugby coach of the British and Irish Lions rugby team (Wales head coach) Warren Gatland, reaches out in his press today to Australia’s head rugby coach Robbie Deans.

News.Com.Australia has the story of dual coaching rivalry and camaraderie in the competitive code of rugby football sports. In case you were wondering, yes, Gatland is still a New Zealander. He is the second Kiwi coach (Graham Henry being the first) of the Lions rugby side. Robbie Deans has come under fire for the Wallabies teams recent test losses.

What I think: Clearly, Deans just needs to eat three times more than he currently is, to keep with the fashion of the world’s top rugby coaches. Maybe Robbie just needs more stamina like the big white boys have become accumstomed to carrying on themselves, in coaching circles of rugby. It seems to be the new look these days of rugby coaches. Robbie should beef up to avoid the media backlash and getting picked on.

Seriously though, being coach of the no.2 team in the world is an achievement of Deans and his Australian team to be proud of.

THE RAUPO PHRASEBOOK OF MODERN MAORI – SCOTTY MORRISON’S GUIDE TO INTEGRATING MAORI INTO EVERY DAY FAMILY LIFE

Watching Breakfast television in New Zealand this weekend a few books were promo-ed on the show. One was Owen Glenn‘s rags-to-riches biographical life story, titled Making a Difference. Blogger and book critic Graeme Beattie‘s review of the book can be read here. Glenn is also the owner of The Warriors rugby league club in New Zealand. His work in India is vital in West Bengali.

Also on Breakfast was Stacey Morrison talking about a new book that is pivotal to New Zealand’s future. Her husband wrote the book. For people who would like to learn the Maori language and teach their children the language, Scotty Morrison‘s brand new book titled The Raupo Phrasebook of Modern Maori: The User-friendly Guide for All New Zealanders is an essential Kiwi book we all must own a copy of.

Together, Stacey and Scotty’s combined contributions to enrich New Zealand culture as broadcasters is a massive legacy they have consistently given to instill a strength of spirit and Maori culture into the fabric of New Zealand’s ever-changing society. I love what they do. I get it. There are no words to explain what they have given over the years. They always give in fun ways, so you never know you’re really conscious you’re learning from them when they are on the air as entertainers and broadcasters. Thank you.

About the book. Fishpond book website writes:

The Raupo Phrasebook of Modern Maori is an up-to-date, versatile and highly relevant resource and guide for utilizing Maori language in everyday life. Whether you’re a novice or emergent speaker of te reo Maori, or a complete beginner, you’ll learn useful phrases for: The home, the marae, the workplace, and social settings etiquette. The book also gives advice about appropriate observations of time in correct address for the days, months, seasons and weather. Key phrases are taught for mathematical discourse in Maori too.

For the person who is on the go, The Raupo Phrasebook of Modern Maori offers instructional knowledge for travel and directions, playing sports, having fun, and so much more!

The phrasebook also covers dialects, grammar and pronunciation; answers to key questions you’ll use the most in life; outlines favorite idioms and slang used every day in New Zealand society’s Maori conscious world; shares the wisdom of the ancients through proverbs and speeches; and provides information on the ever-changing history of te reo Maori – an active, evolving, living, satisfying and vibrant culture that’s on the rise.

The useful vocabulary lists are a big hit and are offered for each book section to make reading easy. The tone of the book is written in a user-friendly manner with everyday New Zealanders in mind. With a focus on modern-day language, The Raupo Phrasebook of Modern Maori is the guide that no home should be without.

About the Author: Scotty Morrison (Ngati Whakaue) is the well-known presenter of the Maori current affairs programme Te Karere. He holds a Diploma of Teaching, Bachelor of Education and a Masters degree (Education) from Waikato University.

Scotty is also the Director of Maori Student and Community Engagement at Auckland’s Unitec Institute of Technology Te Whare Wananga o Wairaka, where he promotes te reo Maori through awareness, administration and specialised courses.

Tumeke!

[Note: Must get both books].

Rawdon Christie of TVNZ interviews Stacey on integrating Maori into daily life. I think of how important Sir Apirana Ngata‘s books were to New Zealand society back in the day. This book has the ability to be just as profound to NZ culture and to the world that loves Indigenous Peoples knowledge too. How practical, valuable and useful. Rock on.
