My predictions for 2017

1 comment





The three Wairarapa Councils will continue to have talks re amalgamation. Nothing will happen.

Just as many celebrities will die in 2017 as in 2016.

A massive magnitude 8 earthquake will occur, centred on Masterton. The Town Hall will remain intact.


Bill English will call a snap-election and Winston Peters will be elected Prime Minister. English will plead for a role in cabinet and Winston will hold up a card saying NO.

Jacinda Adern will win the NZ Dental Association’s award for model of the year.

Donald Trump will admit at a Bruce Springsteen Concert that he wasn’t born in the U.S.A. and is actually a half-brother to Vladimir Putin.

In a new poll Britain will vote to remain in the European Union and the rest of Europe will decide to leave.

The price of petrol will go up and the road toll will go down.

All those people in America who reckoned they would come and live in New Zealand if Trump was elected President will remain where they are with the exception of Serena and Venus Williams who will both buy permanent homes in windy Wellington.

Peter Leitch and Michelle Boag will ask Bear Grylls to locate them on some remote island.

John Key will replace Benjamin Netanyahu as prime Minister of Israel (son Max will win Israel’s Got Talent and daughter Stephanie will be in the centrefold of the Jerusalem edition of Playboy.)

Murray McCully will become our ambassador in Venezuela.

Kim Dot Com will fly voluntarily to America.

Gareth Morgan will open a cattery in Kandallah.

Lyn Paterson will dye her hair blonde and Bob Francis will go bald.

The publishers of the Wairarapa News will be presented with a long-overdue, well-supported petition pleading with the editor to ensure the long-suffering readers will no longer have to put up with the long-winded views of the author of the Long View.

  1. You forgot to mention that at Wings over Wairarapa we will witness perfect formation flying by the porcine aerobatics team.
