don’t fall for the cherry picking & misinformation in the govt bs machine about improved health outcomes they have been a shit show

Labour is not the problem, capitalism is Political analysis that fails to grapple with the social and economic conditions in which Labour is forced to operate is unhelpful and misses the point

Newsroom might be ok -Agree those other ones mostly shit but occasionally they do good work

good writing here I reckon

these new tunes are wondrous

if that sort of deferential treatment happens frequently & consistently for one side over the other doesn’t it sort of lead to only one conclusion ?

Yea they just parroted the obviously coordinated attacks from the right & really didn’t say a lot else.

iMovie pretty intuitive & straightforward for this sort of thing

Luxon in particular just seems so desperate to impress

Oh, so just caught up with the news - new taxes can just disappear by calling them levies. Sweet. That wealth levy of ours should now be supported by everyone. Labour can go bolder with its CGL

Double the average unemployment and $26k in debt. The triple whammy crushing a generation’s wealth Young New Zealanders face a triple-whammy of impacts as they try to build wealth in the ruins of New Zealand’s economy.

Far out unemployment rate for people in nz under 30 at 12.5% don’t know why this isn’t a bigger headline www.stuff.co.nz/money/360934...

but it feels like this is what journalism is now - there are exceptions but seems mainly done by a bunch of people who know nothing with zero perspective & who can’t be bothered stretching to find stuff out if the subject is further way than the end of thier own nose

extremely odd choice of person to review a gig even more so since this person is even bad at doing regular person journalism

yes also this particular issue is probably pretty niche & may not be widely understood or cared about Peters just playing to the cookers who gave him a few % don't know if this is really anything which will move the dial very much but anyways I agree our media is sadly vv weak

prob scared of Peters sick of the ad hominem attacks which is his stock & trade when anyone criticises Greens they will usually try to explain in terms of policy/ consequences - Peters just attacks the messenger & gets increasingly threatening

Yes exactly he suffers from the opposite affliction -the little known ‘anti-imposter syndrome’

YES x 1000 - NZ media v depressingly weak at the moment when we need them the most.

This makes me mad & worried.

Applies everywhere & definitely in NZ this election year - not confident at all in the overall quality of coverage we are going to get which also results in the unchecked pernicious influence of shady $$ on shaping the narrative.

Is this American Boss dick what Luxon means when he says ‘productivity’

The health minister and cabinet ignored the recommendation and advice of the Ministry of Health and instead completely banned the option of pubertal suppression for trans kids making NZ one of the few places with zero access to this care.

Is he still on the 1000 % beef diet I wonder

Feels like it’s designed to shift the Overton window further right - as if these two gross points of view are the only two options & one is a winner

each day this guy comes out with something more hateable than the day before I thought Key was smug but don’t know if we’ve ever had such a condescendingly priveliged twat for a PM he wants us all to be more ground down to work-dust as if work work work is the only thing worth doing

Release Day for Memory Gut ! Thx Stefan, Ben & Chris & all those with finely tuned ears.

Hipkins remains maddeningly conservative & overly fearful of annoying the centre (which is now arguably pretty rw) - there’s got to be more going on than this.
