    Maybe it was Zola Bud.

    You're missing the point with this racist crap. Housing, no matter what kind, should be fit to live in. The conservatives squashed a law which would have made all rental properties subject to a license based upon the state of the building. Not a surprise really as many of those cnuts are slum landlords.

    ^^Immigrants are of course infinitely more preferable to indigenous morons such as you - they strengthen the gene pool whereas you and your inbred ilk simply dilute it. Haven't you understood that yet?

    Incidentally, it was Mo Farah.

    The death of children (or anyone really) in tragedies like this is made all the more tragic when you realize that oxygen thieving cnuts like xanax are still around, wasting space and taking precious resources from other, more deserving, people.

    There's no justice in this world.

    If there were little Tamzin Belkadi would still be alive with her whole future in front of her and a miserable old cnut like xanax would be dead and buried, no longer able to spread his bile around.

    I'm against the flood of immigrants to Europe/NZ, etc...

    But it's not the right time to put the boot in guys.

    People are people and many burned to death - in the most horrible/excruciating way any human can die. Makes no difference if they were white, black, or Arab Muslim.

    My heart goes out to the poor victims (irrespective of color)...

    This one interview got to me man... he controlled his emotions right to the end.
    No words needed.

    It's so amusing to see you lower end people attempting to communicate, Thai3.

    "It must be alright 'cos I saw it written in the grown-up newspapers for all them people that what are more intelligent than what I am " .......

    I do love it when the lumpen show their inferiority complexes.

    If, as seems likely, it was the external panels, then it's going to cost loads of money to replace them on the other buildings. I guess the public inqury will be able to delay for a while. I also couldn't believe that sprinklers were not mandatory.

    Ms May screwed up again, visiting the area but not speaking to residents.

    Not against immigration seeking ass... controlled immigration is fine - within the limits of infrastructure (roads, hospitals, schools, etc) and as long as it doesn't impinge on the life-style of the existing residents, it's all good..

    Just against 'excessive immigration' as I've seen here in Auckland, which is causing all manner of problems..

    You state that as if it's an objective difference.
    It isn't. The term 'excessive' is subjective.
    And is it a coincidence that you most likely think the number of white people who've emigrated to NZ to be 'just about right'?

    ^ White people don't count as immigrants. Never have. Never will. White skin gives you a pass to go wherever the fuck you like and do whatever the fuck you like when you're there. Look at little Dickie. First Thailand. Now Japan. But fucking hates immigrants. Nothing contradictory there, though. Or Xanax. Happy to shovel immigrants into the furnances (just for being guilty of being in the wrong country) but has spent two decades in Thailand and probably still struggles to order himeself a fucking omlette. But nothing wrong with that, is there?

    Well said.

    I agree completely with my fellow expat.

    Also being that I go to NZ / Auckland every year I'd like to know what 'flood of immigration' are we talking about?? Did I miss it.

    Some reports are saying that the tenants were offered a sprinkler system, but they were rejected on account of the extra building work and upheaval that would have resulted and put priority on an updating the heating system.

    That building was a disaster waiting to happen for so many reasons, most of them related to outdated building regulations. I have been in that building, many years ago, and the central stairwell was a nightmare, it will have filled up with smoke very quickly. External fire escapes should be mandatory, and would not be difficult to retro fit on existing high rises, except that they give easy access to the crims that tenants fear so much in inner city council areas.

    It seems absurd that it would be a matter of choice. What does Joe Bloggs know about fire safety in high-rise buildings and how is s/he supposed to make an informed decision on something like that? This is (i) the absurdity of the neoliberal obsession with 'choice' and (ii) the result of years of governments making a fetish of cutting regulations.

    Never said I hate immigrants, your words not mine pal... just hate excessive immigration... yes, that's subjective... 70% of Kiwis want to see a reduction in immigration numbers (the other 30% are recent immigrants lol)...

    800 new immigrants in Auckland per week... Ant.. coming on holiday doesn't give one the real impression of living here.

    Just one example... not to mention the traffic, which is horrendous, or our housing which is one of the least affordable in the world.
    Overcrowding forces Auckland schools to get creative to find teaching spaces


    Schools on Auckland's North Shore are using former dental clinics, staffrooms and libraries as teaching spaces, as they struggle with overcrowding from roll growth.
    Principals said they would like to know the Ministry of Education's long-term plans, after a report showed there were 40 schools in Auckland over capacity and 130 schools at risk of overcrowding.

    *or just google Auckland overcrowded.. take your pic..

    Auckland's unaffordable housing crisis bites hardest for young adults


    Young people in their early twenties are now the most likely age group to be living in overcrowded conditions, as Auckland's unaffordable housing crisis bites hardest for young adults.
    A quarter (25.2 per cent) of all young people aged 20 to 24 in Auckland are now officially considered to be in "overcrowded" housing in the 2013 Census, up from 23.6 per cent in the previous Census in 2006.
    The young adult group has surpassed children aged 5 to 9, who were the most overcrowded group in 2006.

    Well spotted. No flies on you, are there.

    It's just the impression your (frankly hideous) posts have left on me. But maybe you're just not very good at expressing yourself.

    Even if correct 41,600 per year into a city of 1.5 million hardly qualifies as a 'flood' (even without looking at a net figure including emigration).

    Also as much as you Dorklanders would like to think it, Auckland isn't NZ.

    You're talking about a country that has a land area larger than the U.K. and barely a fraction of the population.

    ^ NZ visa numbers reach 'staggering' record high





    More than 200,000 people were issued temporary work visas in the year ending June, almost 30,000 more than the year before.


    A demographer, Paul Spoonley, said the numbers were staggering and it was not clear whether there was any sign of a slowdown in the number of arrivals, or of the government putting the brakes on.


    He said about 800 new residents settled in Auckland each week, but many did not have qualifications to address gaps in construction, health and Information and Communications Technology (ICT).

    Other visa categories also saw steep rises in the last year. Student visas passed the 100,000 barrier and visitor visas soared by nearly a quarter to almost 600,000 people.



    ^ That was from 2015... 2016 saw a new record of 71,300 (most come to Auckland)...

    temporary work visas
    flood of immigrants
    Is that the same thing? People arriving for a limited time to work (and therefore, incidentally, almost certain to be net contributors to government coffers) are hardly what most people think of when the slip on their pointy hat, plant a fuck-off burning cross on the lawn and starting cocking on about 'floods' of darkies threatening their God-given way of life in a white settler state.

    Many come to NZ on temp Visas (student Visas, etc) but exploit the system to gain residency...

    NZ reputation at risk from Indian student exploitation



    The trend is raising concerns that student visas are being used as a de facto way to migrate to New Zealand permanently.


    Chinese and Indian students have been driving strong growth in international student arrivals, but while Chinese students are predominantly heading to universities and polytechnics, Indian students are overwhelmingly enrolling in sub-degree independent training provider and PTE courses.
    Of the 7,922 additional student visas issued in the first nine months of this year, 3,426 were for Indian students, an increase of 25 percent on last year, according to a report on the ICEF international education news website.


    Chinese enrolments tend to be distributed across all sectors but skew towards the universities and Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs). Indian students, in contrast, are more sharply concentrated in ITP and PTE programmes.


    Analysis by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment has found that 51 percent and 62 percent of PTE and ITP international students respectively have been staying in New Zealand after completing their study. The trend is raising concerns that student visas are being used as a de facto way to migrate to New Zealand permanently, with Indian students far and away the most likely to remain in New Zealand compared to other sources of foreign students since 2009.


    The proportions of international students staying on in New Zealand are highly concentrated in areas of management and commerce, food, hospitality and personal services, IT and health.
