So Louise Upston is going to ignore decades of evidence from women and children who lived at Glorivale based on a visit. Ffs, did she honestly think they’d be exhibiting abusive, coercive or inappropriate behaviour in front of her. #nzpol

Why is there not a single thing about holding social media platforms accountable?
A pre-colonial Māori wooden carving of a kurī, a breed of dog. The wooden figure is a pale white-brown, and depicts the upwardly-curved tail characteristic of this species of dog.
Another one from the “humanity throughout history has always been making little guys” archives! This comes from Aotearoa New Zealand, and is a kurī, or dog, made from kānuka wood. The only known pre-colonial Māori carving of a dog, they were found within Moncks Cave at Christchurch in 1889
I said five years ago that Winston was past his best and his interview on the radio this morning definitely showed that.
It is a real shame when a politician hangs on too bloody long.

Yes, here in the crown of the Kaipara-Te Tai Tokerau border we also have space - just gotta help us dig some composting toilets in clay soil.
Dolly is unmatched
I am biased because my friends made the show but Educators on TVNZ is imo the funniest NZ TV show ever. Highly recommend if you are looking for something.
I once dealt with this logic from a friend who didn't think it was right to kill any animal by saying if she was so committed that she was welcome to come and trap the rats at my house and take them home with her. She didn't take up the offer.
This is where the anti-trans attacks from govt in NZ can lead. This is one of the goals of anti-trans lobbyists.
It is never about protecting women. Never.
For some already vulnerable people, who don't trust Police for multiple reasons or live rurally and know that Police won't be able to protect them from crime - Dogs are good protection.
That doesn't mean I think the laws need to change, they do - but its more complicated than just "bad owners"
Fanks Hugh - Love you xxx
This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen
I know a lot of people think these tech guys are genius, next level thinkers - but have we ever considered they are just dumb fucks?
Curious.
This headline seems not to reflect the truth of the matter, as Winston WAS approached early and did NOT stop the Bill.

Daniel Craig introducting The Weekend on SNL, with the text: E rangatira mā... te mutunga wiki
😪
My old sweetheart pup Lady (16 this year) has wee'd all over the garage floor right by the open door - this in the same week my vet told me she has a heart murmer.
Do dogs get dementia? Cause I feel like she is getting a bit doolally.
local school bus driver caught drinking on the job.
What is happening to the school bus service in Northland!?
I remember my Grandad saying everyone knew the bombing of Pearl Harbour was going to happen - the US were warned, they just ignored it.
Just thinking about that again at the moment.
What Marco Rubio conveniently left out of his "ode to empire" at Munich over the weekend.
I brought some receipts about the human costs of Western imperialism in my latest Guardian column:

Indeed.
FYI, at the end of The Rest is Politics podcast with Jacinda, Rory Stewart mentioned that according to the UK Electoral Reform Society at the time she resigned Jacinda was only second to Emmanuel Macron as a target for Russian disinformation.

Fair enough, I would expect representatives of a government appearing at an LGBT event while the government enacts policy that harms that community to be met with protests

David Seymour's fav group working with the far right in Europe.
Weird that the US press isn’t interested in reporting on Israel fucking vaporizing thousands of unarmed civilians w/ 6,332 degree Fahrenheit weapons. It’s almost like it’s completely acceptable to dehumanize Palestinians to the point where the murder of 2,842+ feral dogs would yield 20x the coverage
Literally - the young freshly trained sparky who installed our solar is moving to Oz to work on the solar fields over there!
I don't think Farmers knew what kind of propaganda they had on hand!
Nothing to do with space but that just reminded me my aunt used to have a tshirt in the 70s that said "69 the national breakfast" that she got from Farmers.
Does great prose on tshirts still exist? 🤣
Two school bus fires in a week within mere kilometres from my house is not great for my anxiety about my child travelling to school on a bus
Where my pro bono lawyers at? I feel like there is money to be made here - big budgets mean big payouts!
Fuck them Caitlin seriously.
