Does a blunderbuss qualify as reasonable force in this day and age? 😂

There is no simple cure for being a dickhead! NZs own David Brent.

Par for course for this horrible, horrible little man.

Thanks!

Sounds interesting! What streaming service is it on in NZ?

It was probably food in some past life.

I think they could go further. Perhaps the Campbell islands or the 1950's. And preferably stay there.

'Everyone must go': Australians targeted in new tourism campaign The government on Sunday launched a new tourism campaign aimed at getting Australians to visit New Zealand.

We've had some pretty shit tourism campaigns before but I think this one will go down as the shittest one yet.
This is an extra curly turd of a slogan.

Is there a GiveALot page. It would so be worth it!

Haha! I get the impression she's not really interested in any of it and is just there for the lols and some sort of weird revenge attack on those that may have sleighted her in the past.
Can't wait for that to unfold!

Neglecting to mention the biggest issues 1. different systems due to the independence of DHBs which they opposed changing and the privacy laws which are still an issue. FFS surely we can find someone with half a clue to be Minister?

I was dismayed to hear on RNZ this morning our Minister for dumbshit, Judith Collins, explain that the reason doctors don't have your info when you turn up at a different place is bcos we didn't have AI.🤦‍♂️

He's so awkward. A very poor Trump impersonation that he thinks no one will notice!

Agree totally. Entertainment with a bit of audience participation. Not news. I got sucked into this this one out of curiosity, but generally I avoid them now. They're meaningless and just a focal point for RW nutjobs!

At least you wouldn't have to travel far for Italian takeaways 😄

This really is great stuff, but not sure I'd recognize one if I saw them. Better brush up on my ornithology! Hate to think I would see one and not recognize it!

Would love to hear that... Stream it! 😀
Or maybe we'll just have to settle for a 1 'tweet' review (what do we call it over here? Hmmm)

Parliament erupts over race and immigration: Three MPs accused of crossing the line ACT is also accusing Te Pāti Māori of crossing the line after an MP told Karen Chhour she did not understand the “essence of being Māori”.

Is Shane Jones becoming more of a wanker by the day?
Sort of a charisma-free mini-version of Trump with even less wit.

NO to housing the homeless but YES to arresting them in Rotorua bcos... NIMBYS. 🤦‍♂️

I was wondering if the Chinese asked chat GPT to design an AI system for them 😄...

My son has been practicing feeling ill, they're back tomorrow.
He will make that bcos there's a tug of war for his house. After that I expect a play for illness!

It reads like a gimmick announcement to me. Just there to deny space for scrutiny of the crazy stuff.
Stanford almost looked embarrassed by it.
No numbers offered bcos theyre so low it's embarrassing or MBIE rightly said it's impossible to estimate with any sense of reliability.

That's why there's no numbers to go with the story!

Are ‘digital nomads’ an answer to the country’s economic growth dilemma? Nicola Willis has touted high-volume tourism as a solution to encourage economic growth as the cost of living continues to bite households.

This isn't a bad policy but if anyone thinks it's anything more than the equivalent of a couple of coins down the back of the couch, they're kidding themselves. That's why they don't have any estimates.
It's probably already happening on visitor visas.

I remember that. Great series and unnervingly close to reality!

How I arrived at Bluesky from the other place...

Multiple arrests in Rotorua CBD following Operation Trolley A three-day crackdown saw 13 people arrested and 45 shopping carts recovered.

This would be funny if the idea stopped in the 'Yes Minister' office. It didn't, it's just plain nasty and a waste of police time and resources.
This is the society we get when we vote for class war.
Take shelter away and then victimize the vulnerable. FFS.

He could really make a first. If he becomes senile he will make more sense. But then again, a lobotomy would have the same effect.

Musk's salute had me perplexed. Not that he did it that's about par for course for him.
We effectively have 2 options....
1. He intentionally sought to give offence and create controversy.
2. He is so unaware of what he's doing that he accidentally looks like a Nazi.
Really what's worse?

I wonder if Luxon's enthusiasm for bulk tourism includes the following catch phrases...
"Come to over priced NZ and swim in our shit". "It's so expensive highly qualified kiwis moving to Australia is the nation's biggest export.. apart from NZ getting paid bit".
