It could also be a good side hustle for all the Sav. Blanc Producers struggling with declining wine consumption globally.

Time for another referendum?

I'm seeing un unprecedented number of middle aged women roaming around Lincoln today, many sporting Ronan Keating t shirts.

In the 1990s i never would have envisaged being able to hear Ronan live from my house 😆

And not just prior to the election! Until pretty recently all these journalists were gushing about or glossing over his obvious failures in leadership - which we've all seen from the start

Quite possibly- i was being a bit facetious :) but the Christian angle aligns with his conservative views about a lot of things, and there's a voting demographic still looking for 'good Christian values' so he's going to maintain the narrative

They could still report on the rumbling unrest in caucus without detailing polls.

Belief AND prayer, don't forget all the praying.

This is their latest FB post... completely downplaying the poll

REALLY odd... it's 'front page' news everywhere else yet no mention at all ... and we're on to entertainment news and sport

I'd be there for that!!

Me too. It's petty, but it's been a week...

I've seen a few TOP candidates speak on issues and I've always found their policies to be intelligent and pragmatic in the sectors I know something about. I think it would be good to have them in the political mix, and I hope articles like this mean they get a bit more attention this time round.

🤢🤮

RNZ headline reads: 'Christchurch City Council issues boil water notices for Eastern suburbs' with pictures of boiling jug

Ah yes... this is SO much better than 3 Waters #nzpol

Don't forget the (N)ationally important Ikea opening!

Our MBIE Endeavour project, "Accelerating Adaptation to climate change: From decisions to action" led by the Earth Sciences New Zealand, is just kicking off. It has never been more relevant or needed.

Were you screaming "adaptation!!!!" At the TV like me? 😁

EXACTLY what I thought when I head that.

I arrived home last night and immediately reminded my 18 yo to enrol to vote and get her friends to.

I'm more likely to praise a politician I like than have a go at one I don't

Yeah... I'm a coward at heart ☹️. But I hope my diary which says "Tēnā Koe" in big gold letters offended him at least

I've been sitting next to David Seymour in WLG Koru lounge. I think I should remarkable self control not to tell him how I feel about him and his party....

But the US would LIKE countries close to Israel....

Excellent. Those dangerous Tongans! 🙄

Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh = bad. India = good

Fiji= bad, but Rubio hasn't heard of Tonga and Samoa so these are good.

Apart from most of these countries being poor and brown, what other criteria was used? I see none of those oil-producing Arab states are on the list 🤔

I think it is also deceptive here because the sun can be burny when the wind is cold - people don't feel themselves burning when the temperature isn't high.

So much this

😂 I try!

Oh snap!! It was closer to 7am, but yeah, before I did anything else I was thinking about (and panicking about) all the work I need to fo in the next month.

Fun times.
