It would be nice if the headlines didn't read "fire on electric bus" "electric bus driver killed in fiery crash" because it is so obvious here how they are trying to paint this as - electric vehicle so danger to all - gosh this would never happen in a petrol vehicle - never in all history 🤨

PM secures $8100 rates cut on luxury Waiheke holiday home Ninety per cent of property owners who challenged valuations are waiting for decisions.

Let's not forget or forgive that while Rortin' Luxon gamed the system for a $8,100 rates cut on his $10m dollar holiday home, low income homeowners have to re-apply every year for an elaborately means-tested rates rebate (not cut) capped at $805. #nzpol

Reading about SSPE and thinking about how many people are condemning their child to the most awful risk of illness and death from not vaccinating their children 💔

Go easy on yourself ❤️

I read the lot! I was in my romantic phase - I think my ball dress may have even been inspired by the period 🤣

Vampire is the best looking out of the choices

OMG Memory unlocked! I read that when I was a teenager.

Shame on this government for the deeply racist Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Amendment Act, just passed into law.

I am so used to Northland regularly getting hit with all of the storms and cyclones that it feels weirdly very quiet while watching everywhere else get nailed.

First offshore oil and gas permit sought after repeal of ban An unknown Australian firm that wants to 'create lasting value for NZ' is behind the first offshore oil and gas permit application since the 2018 ban was repealed

Scoop: The first application for an offshore oil and gas exploration permit since the repeal of the ban on offshore drilling in August has been lodged, by an Australian firm that was set up less than two months ago and that doesn't have a functioning email address.

Turns out I was 100% correct.
This is so bad.

Normalise masking for all in hospitals, pharmacies and doctors surgeries.

Looks like another three years of this shit.

Unlikely! I think its also worth mentioning that it is likely they actually believe in some sort of election tampering because Jepson and his wife's brains are absolutely cooked in conspiracy theories.

In the end she went to the Ombudsman and got an apology because (of course) this was only one incident of many. She is also a Social Worker and knew what he was entitled to.

Oosh somethings about my Dad's long illness and death I have memory holed until I read something like this and remember when my sister got stood over by a security guard when she was advocating for my Dad at (of course) WINZ

Kaipara's embarrassing mayor, his heir and the spare Opinion: 'He's clinging on to his last day in power. I am hoping that after today, he will be consigned to the dustbin of history.' – Peter Linnell, local resident

Original article deleted - so here it is again

“He’s clinging on to his last day in power. I am hoping that after today, he will be consigned to the dustbin of history.” Seriously can someone put me in touch - I want to make Mr Linnell a cake.

Linnell spoke to Newsroom early the next morning. He says his grandfather chaired the council (Otamatea County Council as it was then); his father served on the council in the 1960s, where he argued for the inclusion of Māori in the South Africa rugby tour.

Kaipara council backs mayor’s complaint over how election was run Ōtamatea councillor Mark Vincent walked out, calling the meeting a farce.

Jepson keen for a January 6th - 🤣 what a dickhead

You can read this thread and truly understand what we in the Kaipara have been dealing with the last 3 years.
These people do not even do the basic reading because they think they are incredibly smart and don't need to.

Everyone is underestimating how incredibly stupid Jepson and Larsen are.

Mayor's emergency meeting questioned by council lawyer, local electoral officer One councillor turned up in a Mickey Mouse T-shirt, before a man in a World War II outfit halted proceedings.

Peter Linnell of Kaiwaka is my hero of the week ❤️ If anyone knows him I would love to bake him a cake

Thanks for sharing that. It is true that racists almost always are incurious, ignorant, dumbasses.

‘So much for democracy’: Councillor slams mayor’s 11th-hour election move Electoral officer Dale Ofsoske says in 40 years he’s never seen one called.

For these racist crybabies - going to vulnerable rural communities, who have limited - sometimes no access - to healthcare, transport and support systems and enabling them to vote is somehow undemocratic.
If the pākehā fullas were way out in front you can be sure this wouldn't be happening.

Oh I know I went to one! But at least it wasn't rape threats

This is why I want to send my kid to a single sex school - at least she wont have to deal with this shit on top of every other shitty thing about being a teenager. ugh
