Not for *government duties* for his role as leader of the National Party for a party *fundraiser* for the *election* Surely this is outside the bounds of what the Air Force should be used for?? Seems like an enormous breach of his access to public assets! www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Happy Ted Lasso Day to all who celebrate.

The modern far Right are definitely using the Nazis' playbook. It's frustrating for those with any understanding of history to see this unfold, and I invite anyone to scan down this list of the Early Warning Signs of Fascism based on a 2003 article written by Laurence Britt to see what's happening.

I want to tell a @timeteam.bsky.social story. My youngest kid (now 19) is ' on the spectrum'. The parents (us) didn't pick up early signals because...ummmm...we apparently are also neurodiverse. Any how to get them to sleep as a little one we sat in bed watching Time Team until they drifted off /1

I am so triggered by RJK Jr's comment about ICU's being empty during #COVID. I re-read what I wrote after one of the surges. How do others forget. The trauma was--and is--real.

Hello NZ govt 👋, maybe this is a better approach than building more prisons & punishing beneficiaries? Hard to argue with the numbers #nzpol

At some point we — all of us — have to have a serious conversation about priorities. We can't just keep squeezing corporate profits out of everything and insisting everyone just make do somehow.

For at least twenty years, in every hotel I've stayed in, if there's a Bible I've signed it 'Cheers for believing, all the best, Jesus'. As a full-time touring musician it's well past the thousand mark by now.

Perversely, the further south down the motu you go, the conditions get worse while the govt support disappears

#nzpol In light of the -10⁰C predicted for tomorrow, can the Aotearoa NZ Govt press pool ask the PM and his many ministers what is being done for the thousands of homeless around the motū who are now forced to sleep rough, in bushejs, under bridges, or in garages, or in their cars. #MontageTime

Let them eat sauce. No, wait, that’s too expensive. #nzpol

BusinessDesk@businessdesknz.bsky.social · yesterday

As schools reported throwing out nearly one in three Compass lunches late last year, the Ministry of Education looked into adding sauce to make the meals more appealing but shelved the idea over cost.

The older I get the more I understand why cats just walk away mid conversation.

It's actually a little disconcerting now that I think about it that one of David Seymour's pet projects., the ministry of regulations, allows *USER CREATED* agents to be used inside government systems.

Point taken Andrew, but my study of the Hansard from 2024 onwards is a clear record of how Winston Peters, far more than any other MP, is responsible for the decline in the standards of the House, which ironically he so often decries. The Speaker appears to be complicit in enabling this. #nzpol
