Labour MP Charles Chauvel is resigning from Parliament to take up a job with the United Nations in New York.

Mr Chauvel, a List MP, said he had resigned effective from March 11.

He will work for the UN Development Programme organisation former Prime Minister Helen Clark leads - as an advisor on Parliamentary Development and Democratic Governance.

Mr Chauvel said Ms Clark was not involved in his selection - "I don't think she even knows I have the job."

He said he had been a member of the UN Global Commission on HIV and the Law for the past two years and had found that work challenging.

"The new full-time role with the UN presents a similar opportunity to make a difference and I look forward to the challenges that it will present."

Former MP Carol Beaumont is next on Labour's list - followed by Kelvin Davis.

If Labour leader David Shearer wants a tip from a winner, former Prime Minister Helen Clark says her advice is always to "be yourself".

"Believe in yourself because if you don't believe in yourself in life, no one else will ever believe in you," she says.

"You have to believe you can do it. You have to express your ideas clearly. You have to build your base in the community."

She emerged from "death-zone rating" in opposition - polling as low as 2 per cent as preferred Prime Minister in a Colmar Brunton poll.

She came out of it, not by working harder - "I couldn't have worked any harder" - but working smarter, having extensive networks in her party and in the community who believed she was the person who could make a difference.

UNITED NATIONS, August 3 -- How can people be charged money, $10 for adults and even $5 for children, to hear a UN system official speak about their work for the UN?

  The Free UN Coalition for Access put this question to the UN Development Program's three top spokespeople regarding UNDP Administrator Helen Clark's upcoming August 7 talk at the Baycourt Centennial Theatre in Tauranga City, New Zealand.

  The advertisement says Clark "will be speaking about her work as head of the United Nations Development Program, the peak global body that coordinates development strategy globally, and works in over 170 countries to empower people’s lives while helping nations become more resilient. With a budget of over $US 5 billion a year."

  Five billion dollars a year but Administrator Helen Clark virtually never holds a question and answer press conference at UN Headquarters in New York.

Former prime minister Helen Clark will dive into the social news website Reddit on Tuesday morning for an "ask me anything" chatroom.

It is the same forum used by US President Barack Obama during his election campaign last year and made popular by the website's 43 million users.

The IAmA ("I am a") Reddit is one of the most clicked-on by the site's users and prompts others to AMA ("ask me anything").

Miss Clark has been put up for the web chat by the United Nations in her role as director of the UN's Development Programme.

The UN shared the news about Miss Clark's planned Reddit chat on its Twitter account and invited questions about Millennium Development Goals, though users will, as the name suggests, be able to ask the former prime minister whatever they like.

New Zealanders wanting to join the chat will have to be up early though, with it set to start at 4.30am (10.30am eastern standard time in the United States).

You can join her Reddit chat at reddit.com/r/iama.

Previous high-profile people to take part in IAmA chats have included Bill Gates, Stephen Colbert and Bear Grylls.

New Zealand press alleges: "Helen Clark (is) a lesbian" ...

From New Zealand with love : 

- a story of a lot, gay sex, drunken parties, drugs, troughing and bribery.

Click here for this in full at : http://www.whaleoil.co.nz/tag/jonathan-hunt/

All available lines to New York will be taken up tonight by Labour as they seek guidance from Helen Clark after Ian Wishart dropped a bombshell on Labour in the latest issue of Investigate. This is an epic Tory party style sex scandal, except all the players are Labour elite. It’s got the lot, gay sex, drunken parties, drugs, troughing and bribery.

The article is huge and can be summarised as follows:

• Claims Tim Barnett encouraged a 14 year old to leave school to work in his office. Is this grooming?
• Claims former Mayor Gary Moore also part of enticement with job offers. Labour pals stick together.
• Truancy Officer was Labour supporter and aided and abetted truancy. More pals involved.
• Government money used to fly 14 year old numerous times around country. Troughing.
• Given free reign around parliament and Beehive as a 14-15 year old. WTF!
• Had Speaker Jonathan Hunt intervening in favour of 14 year old with security at Parliament. What else was Hunt involved in?
• Alleges Tim Barnett confides in 14 year old about Helen Clark, Heather Simpson and Judith Tizard being involved in lesbian affairs. First time this has aired in a major publication to my knowledge.
• Alleges Chris Carter was phoned and intervened on 14 year old’s behalf with CYFS to release 14 year old.
• Chris Carter denies knowing Hamish Jevan Goulter but Goulter has photos of Carters wedding on his Facebook page. Oh dear!
• Chris Carter denies Goulter at wedding. Pants on Fire?
• Chris Carter “remembers” pinging Goulter in parliament and “sending him home” to Christchurch. Very strange explanation
• Investigate holds emails between Goulter and Chris Carter arranging wedding details Has Carter lied?
• Barnett alleges that Goulter was trying to trace his birth mother and was emotional. Very strange reply to serious questions. How very intimate of Barnett to know all about the state of mind of a 14 year old.
• Lianne Dalziel knowing Goulter but Investigate publishes a photo of them together. Oh dear, can Lianne ever tell the truth?
• Dalziel apologises to Goulter in a Facebook chat for denying she knew him. Liar, Liar, pants on Fire.
• Tim Barnett and Labour functionary and ADHB board member Dr. Ian Scott conspire to get drunk Goulter off work to continue partying. More grooming behaviour, two drunk older gay men assisting a drunk underage teenager to abscond from work.
  
• Tim Barnett provided taxpayer funded taxi-chits to Goulter regularly. Oh they do trough don’t they.
• Alleges Helen Clark overrode Jacinda Ardern on issue of Goulter drinking at Premier House. Jacinda Ardern so far is the only Labour person who looks like and acts like a person with responsibility.
• Drank frequently with Michael Cullen, Lianne Dalziel, Ruth Dyson, and Annette King. Old soak eh Lianne? Always on the turps.
• Goulter alleges he spent considerable time in Jonathan Hunt’s office and flat, alleges he could do what he likes.
• Goulter alleges that Tim Barnett, his partner Ramon, Chris Carter, Charles Chauvel regularly smoked marijuana with him.
• Alleges Chris Carter and him were in regular contact and Carter enjoyed being out with “twinkies”.
• Alleges Michael Cullen also smoked Marijuana at Labour Conference.
• Carter says “no cigarette has passed his lips in 30 years”. Interesting choice of description. I have never heard of a joint referred to as a “cigarette”.
  
• Goulter alleges that Tim Barnett made homosexual advances on him.
• Goulter alleges Barnett made him sit down on a chair with him, and lunged and tried to kiss him.
• Goulter was at one time under the “care of the Speaker’s Office”. Whatever that is supposed to mean.
• Alleges Judith Tizard paid Mika hush money to keep Goulter quiet in election year via Arts grants. I always wondered what Tizard actually did, now we know, she allegedly paid the bribes.
  

This is a truly spell-binding article. The details are very clear but I don’t doubt that there is a fair bit of embellishment. Basically Jacinda Ardern is the only person coming out of this story looking completely normal, sensible even. That must surely be a worry for the Labour Party if Jacinda Ardern looks sensible.

Tim Barnett is pictured, by Goulter, as a typical poof, preying on/grooming youngsters and trying to cheat on his partner. Basically a mini-me Chris Carter with out the camel jockeys. It is clear that Goulter is (or was) a teenage star-chaser  and no doubt rated his access a lot higher than the reality was.

However you have to ask what possible motive could a member of parliament have for allowing a troubled teen who has basically been exited from school hang around with him to the extent that he did.

Barnett has been caught lying and so has Chris Carter. Especially the wedding angle. And that sad old poof Jonathon Hunt needs to be asked some hard questions too.

This story shows pretty much the entire senior echelon of Labour with the exception of Jacinda Ardern and Phil Goff (ironically described as “a bit of a nobody”) seem to be a bunch of fag-hags, pederasts and perverts who once they get a little bit of power will use it unwisely.

The one who got caught out in the biggest lie however was Lianne Dalziel who facebooked to Goulter how she had lied about knowing him! Actually I would go so far as to call it outrageous that a child is allowed to attach himself to the inner core of the Labour government, with access to parliament to seemingly come and go as he pleases and have what can only be described as an inappropriate relationship with non family adult males.

Barnett’s alleged comments about the bulldog and the Clark/Simpson/Tizard triangle of terror is priceless. Pure gold.

One thing that doesn’t hold true to me about the traditional description of Clark’s Labour governemnt is that it doesn’t appear that Heather Simpson knew anything about it otherwise the kid’s bum would be whacked back to Mincer Mika faster than you could say “oh Helen”. I simply can’t imagine she would be loose enough politically to let an uppity, teenage bi-sexual drama-queen near the circle of influence. I know real bad pun.

The one thing in Goulters favour is he had the good sense to call Tony Milne and Michael Wood names…plus he hates Jacinda, and writes off Young Labour as “a bunch of smelly fat unattractive people”. Two words people, Sonny and Thomas.

A truly bizarre account of the inner working of Labour. Now we watch and see what falls out. There are certainly some large inconsistencies in the stories but also some information that could only have been gleaned by actually being there on the inside.

The Real Cure For Poverty Is Growth

By Dr Muriel Newman

Last week former Prime Minister Helen Clark was subjected to a scathing review of the United Nations Development Programme that she has run since 2009.[1] The evaluation was carried out by her own executive board and covered the last two years of operation. It paints a picture of a confused organisation that is failing to achieve its goal of global poverty reduction despite spending more than US$8.5 billion between 2004 and 2011. The report was essentially a performance review of Helen Clark. It warned that the UNDP had underachieved in a wide range of areas including failing to properly evaluate the success of its poverty reduction initiatives, failing to share good ideas between its 162 country offices, and failing to ensure that worthwhile pilot programmes were expanded to maximise their benefits.

Who gives a sh*t about the poor: UNDP's moto "Save Helen Clark's ass" !

From New Zealand to Germany, the whole world was waiting for UNDP to come out and denounce the Fox News reporting as yet another attack from the American right wing "who doesn't understand how UN works".

And yet, yesterday's UNDP's For-the-Record release, didn't even mention Fox News, nor it addressed the main questions raised by the UNDP's own Evaluation Unit Report about systematic failures.

UNDP's "mea cupla" had nothing to do with none of the above, instead they were all rushing to save Helen Clark's ass from a public humiliation back home.

The UNDP's spin was similar to what we heard from Barack Obama in the past 4 years, that "all the economic down-turn in America is not his fault" but "it's George Bush's policies to blame".

Same with UNDP, they rushed to point out that the evaluation only covers 3 years from Helen Clark's tenure (2009 + 2010 + 2011= 3 years), and thus she "can't be blamed"!

How dare you right-wing-americans blame Helen Clark for what she might have not done during her first 3 years of what is usually a 4 YEARS assignment?

Because as every other UNDP Administrator (Speth, Mark Malloch Brown, Kemal Dervis) they all stayed 4 years on their jobs.

Can you really blame someone for doing sh*t for the first 3-out of-4 years on the job ?

The ridiculousness of all this is that Helen Clark is on this job for 4 years (2009+2010+2011+2012=4 years), and yet she doesn't own her failures, tries to blame now (after 4 years) her predecessors Mark Malloch Brown, Kemal Dervis and Ad Melkert for "poor performances".

RESIGN NOW

HELEN CLARK !

New Zealand Media calls Fox News released report on UNDP a "Devastating Review of Helen Clark performance"

Click here to read this in full @ Stuff.co.nz: http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/8180500/Report-slams-Clarks-UN-programme

MAARTEN HOLL/ Fairfax NZ

 

DEVASTATING REPORT: A review of the UN's anti-poverty agency, headed by Helen Clark, sees not much impact in its work.

 

Former prime minister Helen Clark has been hit with a devastating critique of her United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in an official report saying much of its annual US$5.7 billion (NZ$6.8 billion) budget is only remotely connected to ending global poverty.

The densely worded report by the UNDP's executive board - Clark's bosses since she became secretary-general in April 2009 - amounts to a stinging performance review.

US media reports say she is leading a counter-attack claiming the study misses the point behind its work.

But the report paints a striking picture of a confused organisation seemingly unable to bring significant change to the world's 1.3 billion poor people despite spending US$8.5 billion on fighting poverty between 2004 and 2011.

"Even when UNDP undertakes activities with an explicit poverty orientation, the approach often lacks a pro-poor bias and tends to rely instead on the trickle-down process," the report said.
The problem was not that trickle-down processes may or may not work, but that the UNDP appeared satisfied with that as the only gain possible against poverty, it said.

"Its priority demands that it should seek to maximise the gains for the poor by explicitly trying to impart a distinct pro-poor bias to whatever it does.

The key issue was "the limited ability of UNDP to demonstrate whether its poverty reduction activities have contributed to any significant change in the lives of the people it is trying to help".
The anti-poverty programmes in 162 countries were "disconnected" and "seriously compromised" by lack of follow-up work," the report said.

‘‘(Findings) point to the fact that poor are often not the direct beneficiaries or only loosely indirect.’’
The report said it was hard to work out what is actually spent on fighting poverty because the body's "programming devoted to poverty reduction becomes even more blurred when projects, reported as contributing to poverty reduction, are not designed to do so.’’

There was a rapid turnover of staff "causing loss of institutional memory".

"Many UNDP country programmes include a subset of activities that have very remote connection with poverty, if at all," the report said.

"For an organisation that has been entrusted with the task of poverty reduction as its top priority, this raises concerns about how resources are directed."

Helen Clark: A Socialist ex-PM living it large "Trump Style" on a "UN Salary" ...worries if her hubby back in New Zealand changed her 20 yrs old washing machine !

 

 Trump World Tower 

(Click here to see the building where the poverty cheerleader lives)

She loves New York - "the T-shirt was made for me" - and her nice apartment with views of the UN building and the Chrysler Building and the East River. I said it amused me that her apartment was in the Trump Towers - meaning it was a bit funny for a socialist. She didn't think it was a very good joke. "Well, it's very handy to the UN."

She's still run around in a government limo when she's home, but even socialist ex-PMs get that perk.
She did think it was funny when I suggested it might be a bit annoying for Peter when she comes home, which wasn't a joke. "Ha, ha. I unsettle his habits." I asked if he'd bought a new washing machine. (He once told me she wouldn't allow a new one, despite it being 20 years old and second-hand when they bought it.) "He did! He bought a new TV too. I've given up. He runs the house. I'll re-establish control some time, but not just yet. Ha, ha, ha!"

Can Helen Clark be trusted on Climate Change ? Barack Obama seem not a fun of Former New Zealand's Socialist Prime Minister !

President Obama's answer to Helen Clark's appeal for US to do more on climate change was :

"I think the American people right now have been so focused, and will continue to be focused, on our economy and jobs and growth that ... if the message is somehow, we're going to ignore jobs and growth simply to address climate change, I don't think anybody's gonna go for that," he said. "I won't go for that."

The United Nations needs a greater role in coordinating global economic decisions, with finance ministers attending a beefed up body to ensure not just the largest economies set the agenda, says UN Development Programme chair Helen Clark.

With organisations such the G20, comprising of the world's 20 biggest economies, dominating measures to shore up growth after the global financial crisis, many other states were at risk of being affected without having a voice, Clark said in a lecture in Wellington.

That could be eased by a stronger economic body at the United Nations provided it could attract the world's finance ministers to help coordinate a global response.

A United Nations development program director says New Zealand is the ideal country to work as a prostitute.

UNDP director of HIV, health and development practice Mandeep Dhaliwal praised New Zealand's progressive prostitution laws as promoting safety and slowing the spread of HIV.

The call came alongside a new UN report that compared New Zealand to Asian and Pacific nations and recommended that they also decriminalise prostitution.

The report - Sex Work and the Law - found there was no evidence that criminalising prostitution had prevented the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.

New South Wales was the only other territory in the region that had decriminalised sex work and the report noted both areas had "extremely low or nonexistent" transmission of sexual diseases among prostitutes.

EMBARGOED UNTIL 7.30 PM, MONDAY 20 AUGUST NEW ZEALAND TIME (3.30 AM NEW YORK TIME)

Helen Clark, UNDP Administrator
State of the Nation’s Environment

 “What does Rio+20 mean for sustainable development?”

Lincoln University, New Zealand, 20 August 2012, 7:30pm

I thank Lincoln University for the invitation to deliver this year’s State of the Nation’s Environment address. I commend both the University and the Isaac Centre for Nature Conservation for establishing and supporting this annual lecture as a way of drawing attention to the environmental and sustainability issues New Zealand faces.

This year’s address takes place in the 25th anniversary year of the release of the Brundtland Report - the UN Report which, in defining sustainable development, helped facilitate a global consensus on its importance. We also meet just two months after world leaders gathered in Rio de Janeiro to agree on steps to advance sustainable development at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development, Rio+20.

New Zealand Herald: Protest over 'airbrushed' Helen Clark photo

Former Prime Minister Helen Clark has been accused of misrepresenting her appearance in a United Nations website profile picture.


She was appointed Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme in 2009.

Her profile page on the UN website carries a biography and high-resolution version of the picture.
John Creser, of Wellington, complained to the UN ethics office that Helen Clark had misrepresented her image on the website, saying it was wrong for her to use a computer-generated image, or avatar.
Mr Creser believed the website should use a natural, unedited image of her face.

"Why should an airbrushed - new chin, no jowls - campaign image of her that wouldn't be permitted as a passport photograph be considered suitable for the United Nations website?" he said.

In 2008 a voter complained to the Advertising Standards Authority about a Labour Party flyer, saying the photo made the then-Prime Minister look too young and glamorous.

The authority ruled the photos did not break advertising codes.

New Zealand is to pull out of a United Nations Development aid agency, ONE News inquiries have revealed.

The UN Industrial Development Organisation (Unido) aims to help the world's poorest countries, and New Zealand contributes around $500,000 a year to the fund.

But in a briefing to Parliament, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the Unido aid money is better spent in the Pacific as the organisation is becoming less relevant to New Zealand and its performance is mediocre.

http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/nz-s-commitment-un-questioned-video-4984638

UNIDO specialises in boosting sustainable industrial development in poor countries. It has a membership of 174 countries, although that no longer includes Australia or the US.
New Zealand's been a member of the Unido since its inception in 1985.

In its briefing to Parliament, Mfat acknowledges some member states could react adversely to New Zealand leaving.

The Ministry said it is possible poorer countries may now view New Zealand as less engaged in the UN.

Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully said the decision to withdraw was based on an official review.
 
"Unido has a very minor footprint in the Pacific, where New Zealands Aid Programme is focused, its role in the international aid system is marginal, and its overall impact is limited," McCully said in a statement.
 
"By withdrawing our core funding for Unido we will be able to reinvest the funds in aid agencies that are able to demonstrate effective delivery on the ground and meet expectations around value for money and performance."
But Labour leader David Shearer said the move sends a bad signal to other UN member states.
"New Zealand, as a small country, gets benefit from the UN, but we also have to make a contribution," said Shearer.

The Green Party is concerned the move has come out of the blue with no consultation.
"I must say I'm surprised. This is another case of foreign policy by stealth and the hallmark of Murray McCully," said Green Party Global Affairs spokesman Kennedy Graham.
  
They say the move may also hurt New Zealand's chances of getting on the powerful UN Security Council.
 
Development agency Oxfam says Unido is still important.
"This UN agency isn't doing so much in the Pacific, but they are also important in terms of poverty reduction," said Oxfam Executive Director Barry Coates.
UN development programme head Helen Clark is currently working in Senegal and could not be contacted for comment.
