he really nailed it didn't he.
Maybe Shane's getting cheers from his own supporters for his arrogance, but I can't see how this strategy is going to work for him in the long term, politically.

screenshot of an opinion piece by Aaron Smale in The Listener that excoriates Jones for his fumbled dealings with Māori, and his efforts to bundle all Ngapuhi hapu into a single negotiation will do as badly as everything else he's done.

If fishers and farmers don’t want to be demonised, they should just stop doing stuff that plunders and destroys the natural environment and the climate. #nzpol

Blind woman describes MSD system as 'impossible' A blind woman on the Supported Living Payment says she's struggling to use what she describes as the Ministry of Social Development's "impossible system". Holly spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Did you hear the RNZ interview with the blind woman who can't see a screen to access the WINZ site and whose entire support system was stopped b/c they decided to round her payment up by 1 cent instead of down by 1 cent? She sounded so calm. www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro...

The joy of the 16:8 diet is that pigging out at breakfast (not til after 10 am) is not only allowed, it's encouraged. This morning I recreated Best Ugly's "White rabbit" with cream cheese, tomatoes and fresh basil on sourdough, slathered with Al Brown's divine lemon & fennel infused olive oil.

what I hate is not only Luxon's mantra blaming Labour for leaving them an economy in a mess - but equally as bad is the media's refusal to call him out on it.

and of course more people are poorer so there are more desperate people attempting to shoplift

On today's dogwalk I fantasised abt what I'd have 4 bfast.
Settled on sourdough cheese toastie, w bacon, cheese & feijoa chutney & fresh avo spread on the top (post-toasting); salad on the side; a smoothie (banana, berries, mango, yoghurt, spinach) a flat white.
No photo ate too fast

Former National Party MP Anthony 'Aussie' Malcolm likely sexually abused children - police review Anthony 'Aussie' Malcolm likely engaged in coercive and/or criminal sexual conduct with "multiple young boys", a summary of police evidence reveals.

What's so worrying is this:
"While no charges were laid during his lifetime, the cumulative evidence - had it been available and considered together - could have supported prosecution"
I wonder how many other cases like this were rejected on an individual level

"No, no you don't understand. We're starving seriously ill children to death. So those photos you see of children starving to death? They're actually photos of disabled or chronically ill children starving to death. Check. Mate."

There's no possible argument for what we've been witnessing. None.
