A photo of a newspaper clipping. It is from the letter to the editor from someone called Jenny Senior from Waipawa. The letter is entitled "Say what?" and the text says - spelling as original! Kia ora, Māori language is sew confusing that I am knot surprised that the minister has put fourth an idea that will make learning how too reed easier four knew entrance. Hour children mite find it sew much easier in they're lessens, if they only have to here and eyes won language.

Not all heroes wear capes, sometimes, like Jenny here, they just use puns and homophones.

Suspended Te Pāti Māori MPs to embark on national tour Te Pāti Māori says it will continue to stand its ground as three MPs begin their record suspensions.

Very naughty or under-fire? Wellington council complaints soar Nine code of conduct complaints have been filed about this crop of Wellington City Council - that is more than the past seven terms combined.

"a councillor complained about the “mayor’s alleged conduct” at a Local Government NZ conference."

To avoid any outrageous rumors which usually occurs, this conduct was me delegating a proxy vote to Mayor Campbell Barry. THAT IS ALL. #nzpol

Windbag: Tory Whanau is the anti-Jacinda They're both young, female, progressive leaders whose career trajectories are intertwined with Andrew Little. But their legacies couldn't be more different.

Like RNZ this weekend, I like the way @joelmacmanus.bsky.social has raised mistakes/learning opportunities in a respectful and non-mana diminishing way. In comparison to recent reporting, this is very refreshing. #nzpol

Hopefully, the Greens will hold the balance of power in the Senate.

This is amazing!

The ‘dangerous’ bill flying under the radar | E-Tangata “Individually or together, these two bills would entrench libertarian preferences in New Zealand’s constitutional framework. They would also obstruct the consideration of Te Tiriti in future lawmaking...

The Regulatory Standards Bill and the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill, individually or together, would fundamentally reshape New Zealand’s economic, social, environmental, and political landscapes. #nzpol

#NZPol This would be a great time for parties on the left to start making announcements about how they will be rolling back changes to restore Te Tiriti to legislation if they're elected. 90% is a powerful number.
