Electoral loss is not a consequence, it’s a paid vacation for these people. They destroy everything and go to the oppositional benches for a break and come back and do more damage. Workers have fewer rights now. Beneficiaries have more hardship. Everything is more expensive.
Woken up at 1:45am last night by someone having a party at the new Te Kaha stadium. Not sure who thought it was a good idea to piss the neighbours off at that ungodly hour but they sure pushed the limits of new sound system
Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
Peters 2021 tweet ends with "we must get fully vaccinated ASAP"
NZ First call for a third Covid-19 inquiry.
They were the party who called for this second inquiry, and led the terms & conditions for it.
They were the party that called for Kiwis to get vaxxed ASAP
Now they want to spend another $30 million of our money to buy votes.
Direct hit!
Not really breaking any news here.
NZ's covid response was too draconian compared to the UK? Cool, let's execute 20k NZers, add in some extra lockdowns, totally fuck at least one Christmas for everyone, and still be in the shit worse afterwards, just like the UK under BoJo.

Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.
will never not be funny to me that new zealand's air force insignia has long been and shall remain a flightless bird
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
The midterms are 8 months away.
Democrats have momentum in the polls.
Republicans have the money.
What Democrats still need is a clear vision.
My latest.

Wow that's a blast from the past. I worked the 85 and 86 summer seasons. Can't say I remember the drunk guy in the sea incident but we used to go to Sands on a Sunday night as it was open late for a drink if you ordered a plate of chips. We also frequented the Watersplash on Five Mile Road.
I worked couple of summer seasons in the mid 80's at the Chateau Plaisir (not sure what it's called now but i think it might be a museum) further up that wonderful wild and wooly beach. Good times
every tourist pays GST on everything they purchase
And Dairy is the Smack
IT IS NOT THE JOB OF A PUBLIC BROADCASTER IN A DEMOCRACY TO REPORT THE NEWS IN A WAY THE GOVERNMENT LIKES. IT IS ESPECIALLY NOT OKAY FOR MINISTERS AND POLITICALLY-APPOINTED BOARD MEMBERS TO DICATE INDIVIDUAL EDITORIAL DECISIONS. THIS SHOULD BE FUCKING OBVIOUS.
OPINION: Our first priority has become to avoid attracting the attention of the playground bully

At least 115 people, most of them likely children, were killed in a strike on a girls’ elementary school in Iran on Saturday, health officials and state media said. It was not immediately clear which country hit the school. Our reporters are trying to confirm details of the attack. trib.al/HxXybV9
I suppose we are long past the “no gallows humor” stage.

Combined with heavy rainy hail in the central city
I served in the military for 20 years. Afterwards, I devoted another 25 years directly supporting the military, as contractor and civilian.
For those serving now, you are either participating in or supporting an illegal war. The orders to commit were illegal. You have an obligation to resist.
Civilizations throughout history have had to deal with the consequences of a ruler who is a malignant aging despot sliding into dementia. I guess now it’s our turn.
I wish the lord would take me now.
He's a monster assembling his own axis of evil who want to kill babies in their quest for wars of real estate. He needs to be impeached the second you can do it.
The president of the United States killed children to distract from raping children.
