Heef 166 Posted May 16, 2018 New Zealand may be included in the Australian constitution, but despite his close mateship with Malcolm Turnbull, I'm certain our former PM John Key will agree that we pursue a thoroughly independent set of policies, despite the huge Kiwi diaspora in the East of the West Island. As such, I thought it was about due to have a new thread for us. I mean, no self-respecting Kiwi says 'Hooroo mate'. It's all 'chur bro' and 'aaaah, she'll be right' and 'oi'll hive sex scoops uvv fush and chups, cuz' So, without further ado, here's some of the NZ great and good to keep an eye on: Former Prime Ministers Geoffrey Palmer QC, 33rd PM (21 April 1942) Mike Moore, 34th PM (28 January 1949) Jim Bolger, 35th PM (31 May 1935) Dame Jenny Shipley, 36th PM (4 February 1952) Helen Clark, 37th PM (26 February 1950) Sir John Key, 38th PM (9 August 1961) Bill English, 39th PM (30 December 1961) Jacinda Ardern, 40th PM (26 July 1980) Governor-Generals Dame Catherine Tizard, 16th GG (4 April 1931) Sir Michael Hardie-Boys, 17th GG (6 October 1931) Dame Silvia Cartwright, 18th GG (7 November 1943) Sir Anand Satyanand, 19th GG (22 July 1944) Sir Jerry Mateparae, 20th GG (14 November 1954) Dame Patsy Reddy, 21st GG (17 May 1954) Dame Cindy Kiro, 22nd GG (2 July 1958) Order of NZ Dame Miriam Dell, Women's welfare campaigner (14 June 1924) Dame Kiri te Kanawa, Opera Singer (6 March 1944) Sir Miles Warren, Architect (1929) Jim Bolger, 35th PM (31 May 1935) Ken Douglas, Trade unionist (15 November 1935) Mike Moore, 34th PM (28 January 1949) Cardinal Tom Williams, Emeritus Catholic Archbishop of Wellington (20 March 1930) Jonathan Hunt, Former Speaker (2 December 1938) Lloyd Geering, Heretic & theologian (26 February 1918) Sir Kenneth Keith, Judge (19 November 1937) Sir Don McKinnon, Former Commonwealth Sec-Gen (27 February 1939) Sir Murray Halberg, Olympic Runner (7 July 1933) Helen Clark, 37th PM (26 February 1950) Sir Bob Charles, Golfer (14 March 1936) Albert Wendt, Writer (27 August 1939) Sir Ron Carter, Engineering Businessman (17 June 1935) Sir Peter Gluckman, Chief Science Advisor (1949) Richie McCaw, Master of the Dark Arts (31 December 1980) Joy Cowley, Writer (7 August 1936) Michael Duffy, Former Attorney General of Australia (2 March 1938) Dame Catherine Tizard, 16th GG (4 April 1931) Sir Brian Lochore, Rugby legend (3 September 1940) CK Stead, Author (17 October 1932) The Duke of Edinburgh, Loon (10 June 1921) Dame Margaret Bazley, Public Servant (23 January 1938) Sir Peter Jackson, Hobbit (31 October 1961) Dame Malvina Major, Opera Singer & Retirement Home (28 January 1943) Sir Shridath Ramphal, Former Commonwealth Sec-Gen (3 October 1928) Sir Mason Durie, Academic (4 December 1938) Dame Anne Salmond, Anthropologist & Writer (16 November 1945) Dame Silvia Cartwright, Jurist & Governor-General (7 November 1943) Sir Tipene O'Regan, Kaumātua (1 January 1939) Rugby Captains Sam Cane (13 January 1992) Kieran Read (26 October 1985) Richie McCaw, Master of the Dark Arts (31 December 1980) Tana Umaga (27 May 1973) Reuben Thorne (2 January 1975) Anton Oliver (9 September 1975) Todd Blackadder (20 September 1971) Taine Randall (5 November 1974) Sean Fitzpatrick (4 June 1963) Gary Whetton (15 December 1959) Wayne 'Buck' Shelford (13 December 1957) David Kirk (5 October 1960) Andy Dalton (16 November 1951) Graham Mourie (8 September 1952) Tane Norton (30 March 1942) Andy Leslie (10 November 1944) Ian Kirkpatrick (24 May 1946) Sir Brian Lochore (3 September 1940) Cricket Captains John R Reid (3 June 1928) Barry Sinclair (23 October 1936) Graham Dowling (4 March 1937) Glenn Turner (26 May 1947) Mark Burgess (17 July 1944) Geoff Howarth (29 March 1951) Jeremy Coney (21 June 1952) Jeff Crowe (14 September 1958) John Wright (5 July 1954) Ken Rutherford (26 October 1965) Lee Germon (4 November 1968) Stephen Fleming (1 April 1973) Daniel Vettori (27 January 1979) Ross Taylor (8 March 1984) Brendan McCullum (27 September 1981) Kane Williamson (8 August 1990) Tim Southee (11 December 1988) Oscar Winners Anna Paquin, The Piano (24 July 1982) Russell Crowe, Gladiator (7 April 1964) Jamie Selkirk, Return of the King () Sir Richard Taylor, Return of the King, Fellowship of the Ring & King Kong () Ngila Dickson, Return of the King (1958) Sir Peter Jackson, Return of the King (31 October 1961) John Gilbert, Hacksaw Ridge () Fran Walsh, Return of the King (10 January 1959) Bret McKenzie, The Muppets (29 June 1976) Grant Major, Return of the King (1955) Dan Hennah, Return of the King () Kim Sinclair, Avatar (10 July 1954) James Lucas, The Phone Call () Michael Hedges, Return of the King & King Kong () Hammond Peek, Return of the King & King Kong () Christian Rivers, King Kong (1974) Dan Lemmon, The Jungle Book () Dame Jane Campion, The Piano (30 April 1954) Philippa Boyens, Return of the King () Booker Prize Keri Hulme, The Bone People (Winner) (9 March 1947) Eleanor Catton, The Luminaries (Winner) (24 September 1985) Lloyd Jones, Mister Pip (Nominee) (23 March 1955) Olympic Gold Medallists [s]Yvette Williams, Women’s Long Jump, 1952 Helsinki (25 April 1929)[/s] Peter Snell, Men’s 800 Metres, 1960 Rome (17 December 1938) Men’s 800 Metres, 1964 Tokyo Men’s 1500 Metres, 1964 Tokyo Murray Halberg Men’s 5000 Metres, 1960 Rome (7 July 1933) Earle Wells, Sailing -

Joey Russ 7,263 Posted May 16, 2018 One of the Kiwis that has become public knowledge to everyone is John ‘Cocksy’ Cocks. He has terminal kidney cancer, and he can’t have chemo anymore (although kidney cancer isn’t that deadly, I think the Te Kiri Gold water might kill him).

Also Russell Crowe (7 April 1964) ? and what about women I hear no-one scream. Well..

John Key 759 Posted October 25, 2018 On 17/05/2018 at 10:41, Heef said: I'm certain our former PM John Key will agree that we pursue a thoroughly independent set of policies, despite the huge Kiwi diaspora in the East of the West Island. In my opinion let 'em go to the West Island, it improves the intelligence of both our countries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heef 166 Posted December 3, 2018 On 24/05/2018 at 17:08, Heef said: I'll give the entertainment question some thought at some point, but people like Geoff Murphy, Jane Campion, Sam Neill, Lee Tamahori, Temuera Morrison, Cliff Curtis are of the prior generation. Roger Donaldson is arguably more Kiwi than Australian. A good half of the BLERTA crowd are already deceased. Geoff Murphy, Director of my favourite NZ film (The Quiet Earth) has died according to Radio NZ. Wonder if he’ll pick up a UK obit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the great but forgotten - over here - 80s SF films (like Miracle Mile). Much recommended. Sad news. PS iirc he worked on the LOTR trilogy so should piss an obit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
