It's horrible to see. We all know that most people dying in Iran are ordinary civilians who just want to get on with their lives like we do. Crowing over unleashing death and destruction on them, as Hegseth is doing, is disgusting.

It's amazing that David Seymour doesn't talk about Luxon selling the airnz London landing slots.
It was a profitable route but selling 14 slots for peanuts has put Airnz back in reaching out further than asia.

Ministers say 'tough on crime' working as new figures unveiled reveal cutting violent crimes against women out of the mix skews the data to enable bullshit rhetoric. #nzpol

Why New Zealand isnโ€™t actually good in a crisis โ€œKiwis like to tell ourselves weโ€™re good in a crisis. When disaster boots down the door like a bailiff, it doesnโ€™t catch us unprepared. Weโ€™ve got a plan,โ€ says Verity Johnson.

No truer words spoken.

"Look at what happened in Mt Mauganui. And no, donโ€™t conveniently clutch your pearls and say itโ€™s too soon. We need to talk about it, before it can be shoved out of sight whilst we โ€˜wait for an inquiry,โ€™ and everyone goes back to talking about house prices." #nzpol

YES AND: over 50% of voters think the level of Treaty of Waitangi influence on government decisions is about right *or could be even stronger* - same poll

(Support is closer to 60% if you set aside the โ€œdonโ€™t knowsโ€, and just look at those who have particular feelings one way or the other)

It's not just the short fall in funding or the health services deteriorating but the way they are shuffling money around by an inexperienced finance minister to make the books look good.
Has anyone told them that fraud and corruption are linked.

'Embarrassingโ€™: International climate expert at COP30 scorns NZโ€™s methane target A veteran climate scientist says it's "unbelievable" that New Zealand has gone to the annual climate summit with a weaker target as global temperatures continue to rise.

Why hasnโ€™t Luxon gone to COP 30?

Oh..

New Zealandโ€™s adoption of a 'no additional warming' target, rather than pursuing more ambitious reductions, was "an embarrassing and humiliating capture by industry". Says a climate expert at #COP30 in Brazil.
