British tourist’s death not suspicious, any more than …
There’s nothing suspicious about the death of a British tourist whose body was found in the Tongariro River near Turangi on Monday, NZ police farce has said.
The body of Jeremy Norris, 45, said to be a regular visitor to New Zealand and an avid fly fisherman, was found floating on Tongariro River.
“Suspicious death” in New Zealand police parlance has quite different meanings to what is generally understood. It may mean that “given the circumstances,” it was not difficult to comprehend why he was killed/found dead.
Or, “people have been killed/found dead in this country in far more suspicious circumstances than this one.”
Alternatively, “scores of foreigners have lost their lives in New Zealand for far less than the latest victim did/said/implied/thought…,” or words to that effect.
The death has been referred to the Coroner together with the standard police advice as to what the cause of death MUST HAVE BEEN: “NOT SUSPICIOUS!”
On average, 3 foreigners are killed in New Zealand every 4 days.
The British tourist was the 2,419th foreigner to be murdered/killed/found dead in ‘nonsuspicious circumstances’ in New Zealand since January 2000.

Maori Traumatised by Colonisation Holocaust: Keri Opai, Maori Academic
Maori could forgive but cannot forget genocide committed against them during the colonisation.
“Language lecturer Keri Opai told a Radio New Zealand panel discussion yesterday that Maori were suffering from post traumatic stress disorder following the “holocaust” of colonisation,” according to a report.
“If you really knew what went on, all the awful stuff, that really does break down to a holocaust. I know we might get in trouble for saying those words but it is absolutely true. That is what happened, we are still recovering from that,” he said.
“I would hope that the average Pakeha New Zealander would perhaps throw their hands up with dismay and go `wow, sorry guys, we really messed up with that one. How can we help you out?’ and perhaps the Government would be on board.”
Treaty teacher Margaret Smith spoke about the personal impact of a number of oil and gas wells drilled near her Waitara home.
“And I have been told there are plans for 25 more around my area. This makes me cry because, I am not a scientist, I don’t do a lot of scientific analysis, but I feel papatuanuku (land) crying. I know that sounds flaky but I feel it inside. I feel the pain. For me it is like papatuanuku has been raped,” she said.
“Panelist Kura Denness said she experienced devastating racism against Maori every day, but expressed optimism for the future of Taranaki,” according to the report.

We are told:
More magma lurking underneath NZ islands than the combined total of Hawaii Islands and Iceland
Blog moderators have been advised that a sea of boiling magma lurking beneath New Zealand islands, waiting to explode to the surface, dwarfs the total amount of boiling rock under all the Hawaii islands and Iceland combined.
Now read this: “The future looks more optimistic.”
Christchurch’s ‘1 per cent’ chance of big quake
Dr Kelvin Berryman, explains the chance of future quakes for the Canterbury region using the latest GNS quake forecast model.
Previous earthquake forecasts for Canterbury have been a little “pessimistic”, a scientist says.
Dr Kelvin Berryman, of GNS Science, said today there was a 1 per cent chance of a magnitude-7.0 or higher earthquake in the next year.
The figures, released by the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (Cera) today, were based on a model devised by scientists from the United states, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
They are forecasts for the 12 months to January 15, 2013, and show that quakes will continue to be a feature in Canterbury for decades.
There was a 13 per cent chance of a magnitude-6.0 to 6.4 quake, down 17 per cent from the previous model, and a 82 per cent chance of a 5.0 to 5.4 quake within the year, Berryman said.
He said there was a “pretty good chance” there was a low probability of having a quake higher than 6.0.
The figures were all subject to change as quakes happened and the model changed, he said.
The forecast probability of damaging quakes in Canterbury during and after rebuilding in the region was reduced by 20 per cent compared with earlier forecasts, Berryman said.
“The future looks more optimistic.“

If you’re hungry, starve to death!!
“Food theft from funeral ‘a new low’ in crime”
Waihi town’s War Memorial Hall was broken into on Monday night and food prepared for a funeral stolen.
The incident was a new low in criminal offending, Senior Sergeant Rex Knight said.
The Senior Sergeant has since arrested several people including a 40-year-old man for receiving, and three kids aged 12, 14 and 17, according to a report.
Perhaps Senior Sergeant Knight could tell everyone how to commit crimes that are NOT so “low in criminal offending”.
Large crowd gathers for Chch protest
Is this genuine anger or just steam rising off ****?
More than a thousand Christchurch residents turned out this morning to protest against the city council and call for the resignation of both the chief executive Tony Marryatt and mayor Bob Parker, according to a report.
