I will never forget seeing Sam on the big Screen at The Embassy Theatre. www.nzonscreen.com/videos/cinem... he gave so much to the arts and did so much to protect our environment.

TOP is for the professional managerial class who are too embarrassed to admit they voted National or ACT in front of their liberal friends.

Have renewed my internetNZ membership but i don't know if i can go another year if each year the Free Speech Onion add a new director each year. Please people with more brains than me sort this out, because if it's one fsu person vs 10 others the fsu gets in because votes are split.

This is everything I've said about Wellington Retail landlords. People want to rent space but landlords charge too much or want contracts for too long, so they let their spaces go empty. I bet Cplace could be filled tomorrow with popups if landorlds wern't so greedy www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3610...

Lower rents, spruce-up key to restoring golden vision

In recent years, the once lively Golden Mile has become a graveyard of abandoned sites, with many of Wellington’s most iconic retailers and hospitality hotspots closing up shop. What now?

Dear Wellington, why can't we be like New York where there's so many pedestrians they made an extra path for them. www.tiktok.com/@boogiebobny...

$1,500 for KiwiSaver at birth is only good if you keep adding money. Most families will do nothing for 20 years & in most cases it will all disappear into management fees. Why not $1,500 when you graduate high school?

I just feel really sad about my City Today. The council is going backwards. Keeping rates low is not how you save a city

Not quite sure how 91 k a month on cleaning Wellington streets resolves long term issues in Courtenay place. The problem is it's car friendly and hostile to cyclists and pedestrians. The bigger problem is our city councillors love cars and loves business more than they do the majority of ratepayers

63K is about 3 years worth of my income (I'm on an SLP with a disabilty allowance and a teeny tiny business ) 3 fucking years and yes politcians have to travel but i think i'd rather he got hotel porn than a limo . www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Winston Peters defends Shane Jones' $63k travel bill including private limo on standby for 24 hours

Winston Peters is defending his deputy's travel expenses including a private limousine on standby and an upgrade to business class flights, saying it's "nothing out of the ordinary".

will Labour be all over 671 million for nothing (cancelled ferries) from now till the election. Because that's an easy answer to everything NACT throw at them

it was sunny for 10 minutes, the cat an i sat outside and enjoyed it.

The year is 2126. On one side of the Tasman, Labor partisans are yelling at the Greens about the CPRS. On the other side of the ditch, Wellington City Council has just approved its nth review of upgrading the Golden Mile Courtenay Place, meanwhile, is now underwater and Lambton Quay is a quay again

I suspect mum will hold out 2-3 weeks till she cancels her Dom Post subscription. NY times games subscription & spinoff are a given for replacements but who else is good to support for daily journalism in nz?

Not to kink shame. I suspect most women and girls feel far safer with their trans sisters than male politicians who rented porn at the taxpayers expense.

Will never understand why a street front business has more council influence than the voting population. Wellingtonians want cycle lanes and public transport corridors and more pedestrian spaces. But it never happens because 20-30 businesses (some not directly affected) don’t want it

Sounds like the Deputy Mayor thinks subsidising private businesses by painting their buildings and fixing awnings is a solution for Courtenay Place as good replacement for the golden mile upgrade. www.reddit.com/r/Wellington...

Was the review into the Golden mile only to look at the economic benefit? not environmental? I would have thought in a oil war world the environmental impact would be a big weight on things? #GoldenMile #Wellington #NzPol

happiness is using a dryer in winter. A nice big industrial one so a weeks worth of towels and sheets all done in one go.

I asked a couple dads at school if they knew our government was killing off basic science. They hadn't heard a thing It's a crime against journalism that the NZ press isn't all over the dissolution of the Marsden Fund, and a crime against academia that our universities aren't yelling to the rafters

#marsdenshmarsden I guess 🪦

This confirms 600K was spent on a website just for a building. It’s a magnificent glorious building. But imagine if they’d spent 20K on the site and the rest on books or library staff or cycle lanes or the golden mile upgrade. The money did not go towards library services

Reposting because Penny did update the story with more info, despite not replying back to my email. www.rnz.co.nz/news/communi...

I’m not the biggest fan of fan of Andrew Little. But 600K for a Wellington City council building website is embarrassing. It’s unconnected to the WCL catalog or databases . It’s my rates wasted instead of of fixing the golden mile or cycle lanes. So politicians are matching the extra.

can someone explain to me how national can chase a govt minister and staff member of RNZ out of office/job for an innocent mistake but labour just let national coast on lobbying bullshit? #NZPol

The most delightful wellington site is the constant stream of bicycles along Hutt road to enjoy Te Ara Tupua. The one sad bit, families having to run across the road at the bottom of Ngauranga Gorge because there's no pedestrian/cycle crossing at the traffic lights.

Is it weird that I already thought Stuart Mash had joined NZ first #NZPol
