After viewing Carl Bromley’s video today about the stench of chlorine coming from the Avon River in Christchurch I decided to do a bit of digging on this Chlorine problem myself. Christchurch Council  have reported they have high quality drinking water. However they Council report they are using Chlorine whilst update water supply network. The Central Govt’s Water Regulator Taumata Arowai has declined an application by Christchurch Council for an exemption as to introducing chlorine into the water supply.    All public water supply networks must be treated with chlorine unless an exemption is obtained

16^th May 2023 Newsline reported that Christchurch Councillors are very frustrated it appears for some time now there has been a tennis game going on between Taumata Arowai and the Council. When the Christchurch Council  has applied to have exemptions of chlorine in their water supply. Christchurch Mayor Phil Mauger  said he is outraged that the government insists the water is chlorinated.  The Water Services Act 2021 makes it mandatory for owner of reticulated water supplies to add residual disinfectant-chlorine- to the water unless they obtain an exemption from Taumata Arowai.. Christchurch’s Mayor Mr Mauger stated “While we’re being forced to chlorinate our water supply we will continue to fight and advocate for the people of Christchurch,”. He felt the council had been led up the garden path by central government Taumata Arowai.

Stuff NZ reported 30^th May 2022 more than a year ago that Christchurch Chlorine Free Water could still be years away- more than 4 years away after the council started temporarily treating the water supply. Go back another year to 9^th July 2021 Stuff NZ reported the Christchurch Councils battle to remove chlorine from its water. As a Christchurch Councillor reports “to remove chlorine from the water is like a tennis game with safety assessors. At that time there were reported to be hopes that Christchurch would be free of chlorine in their water by Christmas 2021

Health Authorities had refused to sign off a plan detailing the city’s water supply. Again Councillors were reported to be left frustrated when trying to completely remove chlorine from Christchurch water supply. 13^th February 2020 Christchurch Councillors back to the drawing board, the tennis match  was going on then with Taumata Arowai. Again the government refers back to 2016 Havelock North’s  campylobacter outbreak

RNZ Reported  22^nd May 2023 that Christchurch Councillor wants local government minister to help reverse water chlorination due to the Water Regulator mandating chlorination of water in Christchurch’s water. . It has now been reported that work is being scoped by the ‘Three Waters’ team and will be bought to the Council in the future for consideration. Councillor Sam MacDonald wants Central Govt to intervene, as he says “they have significant amount of power and then refers to the unelected officials with a significant amount of influence over peoples everyday lives.

His petition in May this year had reached 3,400 signatures in 5 days. He felt that Taumata Arowai were being over the top in its applications for standards. MacDonald said “The only thing that have changed are the rules, not the risk to the people”. MacDonald referred Taumata Arowai is effectively saying the bar is set so high that we’ll never be able to achieve it”. Advisor of safety of water in NZ is the Maori Advisory Group Te Puna . Taumata Arowai is a Crown Entity-Central Govt.

In 2022 the partnership of the Taumata Arowai Board ( Crown Entity-NZ’s Water Regulator) and Te Puna (The Regulator Maori Advisory Board won the Deloitte’s Award. Documenting “The governance arrangement is modelling how a strategic partnership is effectively built”. Taumata Arowai demonstrates its commitment to upholding the Te Tiriti o Waitangi through its partnership with the Maori Advisory Group. The Maori Advisory group manages, determines the safety of water in NZ, they have a strategic partnership with the Crown entity Taumata Arowai. Te Puna Maori Group advisors are non–elected bodies that has control of water supplies in NZ in partnership with the Govt

They would be determining whether Christchurch Council are able to obtain an exemption for chlorine in their water or not. The Te Puna Maori Advisory Group was established under the Taumata Arowai Water Service Regulators Act 2020 by the appointed Minister of Local Government.

The Te Puna Maori Advisory Group is chaired by Nanaia Mahuta’s younger sibling Tip Mahuta, who has an influential role in the Three Waters Reform  and also He Puapua Report on Co Governance. Iwi – Maori partnership. Often named as Crown-Iwi/Hapu Partnership

The word Crown distanced the Govt from being made accountable- it’s the government partnership with Iwi/Hapu/Maori. The Te Puna Maori advisory group partnership to the Govts agency , New Zealands Water Regulator Taumata Arowai is chaired by Nanaia Mahuta younger sibling Tipa Mahuta. She is also the Chair’s for the Waikato River Authority,  and the  Maori Health Authority and Maori Advisory Group

In a nutshell Taumata Arowai – the central government of NZ is in a partnership with Te Puna Maori advisory group that determines the safety of water in NZ, chaired by Tipa Mahuta.  The Maori Advisory Group advises the NZ Water Regulator (Govt) on matters of Māori interests and Maori knowledge that relates to the Government Water  Regulator Taumata Arowai as to objectives, functions, operating principles and the collective duties of the Govets Water Regulator Taumata Arowai

Provides adviced on how to enable  mātauranga Māori, tikanga Māori, and kaitiakitanga to be exercised. The govt’s regulators board (Taumata Arowai) must have regard for the Maori Advisory Group (Te Puna). The Govts Water Regulators Board must act jointly with the Maori Advisory Group, agree to the terms of reference for the Maori Advisory Group. The partnership has a memorandum of understanding

Researching Chlorine and any side effects I found that. The exposure to low levels of chlorine can result in nose, throat and eye irritation. Long term effects of chlorine can include chronic lung problems, bronchitis and asthma.  Although Chlorine kills pathogenic organisms, chlorine can also weaken the immune system, weaken its ability to fight off pathogens . CDC reported on 7^th February 2023. Most people will smell a noxious odour or feel irritation that indicates exposure to chlorine. Low levels of exposure for a long time may affect their ability to sense the chemical. When chlorine comes into contact with tissues eg eyes, throat lungs an acid is produced that can damage these tissues, Signs and symptoms vary depending on how the person is exposed, the amount of chlorine mass, and the time of exposure., blurred vision * Burning sensation in the nose, throat, lungs, and eyes *Coughing  *Coughing up white to pink-tinged fluid that may be delayed by a few hours  *Chest tightness  * Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath (These may appear immediately if high concentrations are inhaled or they may be delayed if low concentrations are inhaled.)

Eye tearing * Nausea * Rapid and shallow breathing * Respiratory failure (depending on situation length of time, strength of chlorine gas etc.,) * Skin pain, redness, blisters             *Vomiting and wheezing

RUMBLE  https://rumble.com/v2v2rij-non-elected-bodies-have-the-power-over-chlorination-fluorination-of-nzs-wat.html

The China Construction Bank owned by the CCP being a debt gap filler in NZ. Now very involved in NZs Infrastructure. The Puhoi- Warkworth Highway, Thermal power Plants, and other Highways, Housing infrastructure, Funding of the Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington Airports. Also the Lyttleton and Wellington Port with extensions planned for those Ports. .

Then the enquiry into Michael Woods Airport shares as he did not declare $13,000 shares in Auckland Airport. It was reported he was reminded to sell his shares 12 times.

Rural Communities are now appealing to the Govt to stop NZ Post price hike, this will effect rural communities and businesses as the hike of postage increases from 1^st July 2023. Over the last 5 yrs the cost of sending mail increased 100%. (The Govt State Owned Post). There will also be a change to delivery frequency of post to your letterboxes. To post a standard letter $2.00.

Again is this another ploy of track and trace along with CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) ?

Roads and footpaths are in a dire need of maintenance yet Wellington awarded $650k for cycleway network, as Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau says “how exciting it is for the Capital of Wellington to receive Global Recognition”

The Bloomberg Initiative for Cycling Infrastructure is a grant that supports cities that are connected to the ‘sustainable cycling infrastructure. 270 cities applied for this grant, it was filtered down to 10 and Wellington was one of them.  Wellington Mayor said “this is an opportunity for Wellington to become a world class destination”

Tarmac NZ  is a for ‘Transport Associated Road Maintenance Action Coalition’. On their Facebook page  post an article that should make us all sit up  referring to ‘tenders are being called for by Waka Kotahi to identify the Maori experiences with NZ Transport.

Waka Kotahi recently submitted a tender to the Government Electronic Tender Service (GETS) this regarding research in Maori experiences and expectation of the transport system in NZ. A tender outlines he request for proposals into researching, identifying Maori experiences, expectations, priorities for transport in NZ to inform key the development to key agency responses in helping build capacity within agencies like Waka Kotahi. It seeks to inform the development of key agency responses and help build capability within agencies like Waka Kotahi. The Research will build on Waka Kotahi this is called ‘Phase 1” where Maori will work with Te Manatu Waka (Ministry Of Transport) and Waka Kotahi referring to the following questions, which include:-

(1)How Maori perceive the transport system in NZ, and how these perceptions came about?

(2) How are Māori impacted by the transport system day by day?

(3) How are Māori responding to government priorities for transport, such as the road to zero strategy and mode shift?

(4) What are the gaps in data and other evidence that can be used to characterise Māori experiences and impacts on them of the transport system? (5) What responses are required to close data and evidence gaps, and how would these responses be prioritised by Māori?

Jacinda Ardern adopted the Happiness Indicators into her first Wellbeing Budget. Forbes reported NZ ditches GDP for Happiness and Wellbeing 11^th July 2019 to increase the welfare of NZ’s population instead of the nations Gross Domestic Product. Stating that this is a shift that many govts have theorized about, as GDP becomes under scrutiny. NZ Government using a Happiness Index as a focus on the wellbeing of NZ Citizens

GDP has been a very useful and dependable tool in which we can use to hold governments to account for their spending of our tax payer funded money. To measure our economy, our goods and services.  Its an economic tool for basic living standards has been used in one way or another since 1654. It measures the economic wealth of the country. But under Arderns governance it was agreed upon within the political toilet bowl of Wellington that the Happiness Index would replace GDP. Under Ardern’s Governance it was seen throughout the world that Ardern was to be embraced as the first to lead with adopting the Happiness Index, embraced more so outside the borders of NZ than inside.

The London School Of Economics called this NZ’s game changing event, a standard for progressive policy, that no other country has explicitly adopted. And that the Happiness Index would be in Metrics (Numbers its all in the numbers). Ardern and her political cohorts stated the spending in the Budget of Happiness and Wellbeing Indicators is a transitioning to low emissions a sustainable economy, a thriving digital age. After all she had on the behalf of all New Zealanders made them guineapigs to the WEF Digital Identity experiment.

The NZ Government in their budget therefore under the Metric Happiness Wellbeing Index would address ‘inequalities faced by ‘indigenous Maori, Pacifika and low emissions and they would theorize what would be effective use of your tax funded money when making govt decisions. And the govt decided on climate change and social inequality over innovation and growth of the economy. They chose a communist degrowth of the economy

How do you measure ‘Happiness”, happiness means difference things to different people, happiness has its waxes and wanes. Everyone has their own individual unique experiences and the way they deal with those may or may not bring them happiness. Also depends on ones DNA, characteristics, past experiences and what they see for themselves in the future in their in dividual world. Happiness in a population cannot be measured.

No ‘The Happiness Index’ did not firstly become NZ’s very own, the first in the world. In 2008 The Independent Kingdom of Bhutan in the Himalaya’s was known for its Happiness Index. Its suppose to be the most peaceful, content happiest places to live, visit.  But Bhutanese people are Buddhists, are into inner spiritual contentment and peace, living simple non materialistic lives, very different to the way people in other nations live their lives. But Bhutan has a very dark secret, that mainstream media will not divulge to the world that introduces their ‘Inclusive Metric Happiness Index.

The people of Bhutan and their inner contentment and the training of the mind, yes authoritarian governments are rights into retraining peoples minds. The Bhutanese training the mind to be at one with nature, the natural world rather than the world of material growth and innovation, their would being simple non-complex.

Authoritarian regimes insulating our nations mindset to be of a Buddhist psyche. To be like the tiny kingdom of Bhutanese. To dismantle individualism to all be of one thinking and one behavior. The one that is not determined by you but by them.

Lets step back in history to the Bhutanese as there are huge flaws to be found. Bhutan deported 100,000 inhabitants that were of Nepalese ethnicity on the grounds of non-adoption of the traditional Bhutanese traditions, language, dress and religious practices.

 Thus not Gross Happiness but Gross Sorrowfulness. An ethnic cleansing. Happiness the meaning of everything and the meaning of nothing. Ideology coverups.

The Guardian 10^th April 2021 wanted to focus on how Arderns Happiness and Wellbeing Index is going. Reporting of the faltering and failing the unaffordable housing crisis, the failing state of the health system. Yes the Government Budget still embraces the Happiness and Wellbeing Index-Indicators, which have been saluted far and wide.

NZ the worst suicide rate for youth suicide in developed nations, 21/7/2021 24,000 people on the public housing list 31/5/2022  27, 234 on the public housing list.

NZ Herald reported 30/1/2023 37,779 people waiting 4 months or longer on hospital waiting lists to see a specialist for first time appointments. Middlemore hospital patients in Ed waited for 6 hours or more to be seen by a doctor. 67,000 people in hospital backlogs, overdue for treatment.

The Mental Health system is broken. Stuff. NZ reported 30^th March 2023 that more than half of students fail pilot on writing standards. Children left rudderless and disengaged. Education that serves division and not scientific evidence. The dumbing down of Education, robbing our children, tell enough lies and lies are eventually believed as the truth.

Sexualizing, politicizing our children, young people in the education curriculum. In every subject is embedded sexuality. Children encouraged to watch porn talk openly about sexual desires. That’s institutionalized child abuse. Sexual abuse.  This is the way that this government measures the population happiness. It’s a very accurate way of measuring the sorrowfulness that has been deliberately plundered our nation.

The World Happiness Index was developed by the UN General Assembly in 2011, when UN Member States were invited to measure public happiness and use it as a guide for their policies.

This has led to mass corruption, red tapism, the most needy left scavenging for crumbs whilst the lions share is diverted to the most wealthy and powerful in the world, that the NZ Government under this Labour Authoritarian regime collaborates and promotes through what is namely their Budget ‘The Happiness and Wellbeing’ Metric Index of the health and wellbeing of our nation.

Frank Bracho Venezuelan Economist ‘THE VERY ACT OF TRYING TO QUANTIFY HAPPINESS WOULD THREATENED IT’

Measuring Happiness by Metrics:  Is about quantifying what is subjective opinion. Depending on socio-economic status or culture, mood or other psychological factors, an inappropriate, inaccurate measurement of happiness. The overall quality of life varies from person to person, different lifestyles and personal preferences. Health determines life expectancy. Life expectation vary, they wax and they wane. Happiness is the state of the mind with multiple interpretations

Psychological factors are uncertainties, the overall quality  depends on numerous multilayered  variables. The Metric Happiness Index is about the dark side of politics, academia, scientific analysis  and who interprets the data and for what purpose, and the biases that lie within the interpretation of Happiness.  Happiness is a state of the mind with multiple interpretations. The Happiness Index cannot be quantified or qualified creditably, accurately by the measurement of metrics. For instance, a person can be unhappy about something happening at home but happy at the same time in task away from their home, performing an activity, therefore that’s just one example of Metric Happiness Index being a bitter pill to swallow, statically bad metric measurements. Metrics do not take into account ones morale.

Revisiting the Kingdom of Bhutan that deported approx. 100,000 Nepalese because they did not fit  Bhutanese Buddhist traditional dress, language, religion even though they had lived in the kingdom for centuries, the Nepalese Bhutanese were imprisoned, tortured, killed and deported like criminals. Became the people of no country they could really call home. These people were invited many centuries ago by the Bhutanese to build Stupa’s for Bhutan. Stupa’s are an important part of Buddhist architecture. These are religious mounds where saints and monks remain that have been cremated are kept. But centuries later these Nepalese people whose homes had been the Kingdom of Bhutan for so long were treated with extreme cruelty. There was only to be one way of life in Bhutan and that did not include the Bhutanese Nepalese people.

The King of Bhutan in 1970 first introduced the Happiness Index into Bhutan in the early 1970’s, however the outside world were clearly taking notice by 2008 as the Bhutanese Happiness Index became known. The 4^th king of Bhutan in 1972 declared ‘Gross Happiness is more important than Gross Domestic Product’.  In 2011 the UN unanimously adopted a General Assembly Resolution introduced by Bhutan and its Happiness Index approach. The  small Kingdom of Bhutan  only 23,857 square miles slightly larger than Switzerland became much more known on the global stage. It wasn’t until 2019 that Jacinda Ardern adopted the Bhutanese Happiness Index like the King of Bhutan to replace NZ’s GDP with the measurement of metrics, namely ‘happiness indicators. GDP was more transparent when it came to holding the government accountable for its spending. The Happiness Metrics model significant for non transparency, cover ups of corruption and inaccuracies.

When the King Of Bhutan first introduced his Happiness Index, the Buddhist population psyche overall was that of seeking contentment, training the mind. Simple ways of life that were non materialistic. This is what the Globalist power elite and Authoritarian States, the WEF and UN-Socialists, Marxists, Communists would like to  think, believe that Bhutan is the ‘Happiest place in the World’. They want you to embrace the ‘Happiness Index’.

Bhutan has entered the post modernized globalist agenda of sustainability of climate doom and gloom. Yet the Himalaya’s have three climate’s ranging the warm weather to grow oranges and colder weather to grow potatoes. The Kingdom of Bhutanese people face serious socio-economic challenges  The Kingdoms Happiness Index has 9 Domains and 33 Happiness Indicators including that od ‘Cultural Diversity and Resilience, Ecological Diversity, Bio-diversity and good governance.

In the 2019 World Happiness Assessment Report Bhutan came 95^th. Bhutans is weak in the Education, Health Sectors, has serious social problems, family violence, human trafficking. The health sector failings- increased cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes.

The Himalaya’s have three climate variances. Bhutan has been embedded with Agenda 2030 (UN) Sustainability Development Goals. There is the prohibiting of exporting of timber, wood is used to heat homes by using cast iron stoves. Bhutan although geographically isolated is landlocked by powerful dangerous neighbors-India and China

In Bhutan’s north – Tibet has been swallowed up by China and India’s power is fast increasing in this globalized world. Bhutan like most UN Nation member states are embedded in this global psychological warfare, repression, oppression and recession, unemployment and poverty. There are no sign posts for the Kingdom of Bhutan, it is a isolated geopolitical place that is vulnerable to corruption, violence and political opportunism.

There are massive problems, inaccuracies when it comes to the Happiness Index and the Wellbeing of the Nation. Happiness is too subjective has far too many facets, people experience emotions in different ways. Metric measures of Happiness are inaccurate, incorrect, inappropriate cannot measure personal happiness. Whether it be a Global Happiness Index or New Zealand’s Happiness Index, it’s a sham and therefore corrupt.

Happiness Economics this is nonsense, there are numerous biases and this is dam right counter productive, hides government failures and the way they spend tax payer funds, non transparency easier to achieve. Does not measure how people feel from one minute to the next, from one day to the next, from one week to the next let alone annually or in a Happiness Metric Index budget that is introduced to the people of NZ recently.

The Kingdom Of Bhutan and its Happiness Index embraced by the 2019 Labour led government, where Ardern was praised worldwide for her Happiness Index initiative. Bhutan- New Zealand the people face restrictions on freedom of speech, on peaceful assembly. In Bhutan restrictions on domestic and international mobilization and also Human trafficking.

The Happiness Metric Index” And Happiness 15 Minute  Smart Cities. Smart approaches to measuring happiness mean mobilizing an ever increasing array of mobile apps, behavioral data that aims to sense, explain our measurements of happiness. A popular approach for authoritarian government, the Happiness Metric Measurement an approach to move beyond economic growth to ‘communist de-growth’ where Behavioral Economists are highly influential in public policy agenda’s on the world stage.

The Happiness Index of Smart Cities:  Informed by predictive behavioral analytics, wearable emotional sensing, mass surveillance, tracking your mobile phone, where you are, whom you are with, virtual doctors appointments, individuals mapped, measured and managed. Measuring Happiness, redefining observable behavior, monitoring a persons mental aspects. Economists working in ‘Happiness Studies’ in neuroscience, genetic evidence and comparable measures to define what happiness means. The serious limitations, what’s happening within our minds and what’s happening in our personal outside world.

Where people who have mental health issues can report they are happy, but suicide rates are high. New Zealand, Denmark and Finland all have high Suicide rates but Happiness Indexes yet were assessed relatively happy on the World Happiness Report. NZ with the highest Youth Suicide rate in the developed world. Happiness based policy making: Is a vague term that means different things to different people, its impossible to come up with a definition that captures all aspects of happiness and wellbeing for every person. Philosophers studied happiness for thousands of years but have  failed to arrive at a single definition.

The Nature Of Happiness: There is no simple theory about the nature of happiness. Happiness is extremely complex, multi-faceted, multilayered, cannot be reduced to a metric formular. So what do we do, do we call it out for what it is – inaccurate, a lie, corrupt. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of the time..

Do we journey down the path of being so called Happiness Metric Index pheasants or do we pursue the ‘Freedom of Choice’. Do we adapt to each of us being quantified, measured or do we embrace our individual identity, preserve our dignity and self worth as unique individual human  beings.?

Measuring Happiness in quantitative metric terms is a disillusionment, this in reality is about re-engineering society, re-engineering peoples behaviors, destroying personal identity, destroying peace and happiness, this is what is being pursued behind the political closed doors of the cesspit in Wellington.
