It's a win win for the gov / employers. But employers won't touch the homeless with a barge poll when there so many others to choose from.

It was a cynical PR shoot gone wrong that she later blamed on the media.. like her infamous staged ponsonby road walkabout.

"In the lead up to the protests, top Republicans had tried to portray demonstrators as a mix of left-wing extremists, paid agitators, and Hamas supporters. House Speaker Mike Johnson called it the 'Hate America Rally.'

Honestly, same vibe here with the Palestine stuff. CoC going full Trump #nzpol

Son of billionaire fashion mogul investigated over father’s deadly fall during hiking trip Jonathan Andic, now the vice-chairman of Mango’s board, claims his father Isak slipped and fell 300ft while they were hiking near Barcelona.

Son of a billionaire allegedly pushed estranged father off a cliff then inherits everything..

I think they call it succession management.

That's good to know, still this gov is trying to screw things in their favour for general elections regarding special votes.

I dropped my papers off at local library that had a voting box hidden away for some reason, why not just put it near the door in an obvious place....

I was being diplomatic, like they never support teachers in pay settlements , the gov know to keep principles happy as there's less of them and they will criticise teachers for striking.

Union representing primary principals accepts 2.5 percent pay rise It follows four months of negotiations with the Ministry of Education.

Maybe they could show some support to fellow striking teachers who havent got an agreement instead of humble bragging about not choosing to strike...

Wonder how many people just didn't bother after reading that or didn't realize and posted it anyway on the last day..

It was weird having the last day to vote printed big on the envelope, then on the inside of the voting papers it says you had to send vote off a few days earlier via post or it wouldn't count.. like if you opened voting papers the day before it would be too late to post it..

Almost half of Auckland's special local body election votes thrown out More than 10,000 special votes were cast in the Auckland local body elections, but 4162 weren't counted.

Something is seriously wrong with our electoral systems , doesn't give me much confidence for the upcoming general election with this gov's shenanigans either.. #nzpol

Judith Collins - I stab from the front

Old tweet from collins where she talks about Jacinda Ardern and says I stab from the front - this tweet was when Ardern was pregnant with her child

Remember when Judith Collins hid Trump's FBI Wellington office opening from Chris Luxon for 3 whole months? I do - it was just this year.

The team should not be allowed to play.

But the absolute bare minimum is to not allow these genocidal racist hooligans to come and cause chaos, then claim to be victims like they did in Amsterdam.

Kier starmer on the wrong side of this, as always.

BBC almost gleeful in this decision by totally political Ofcom backing up the removal of a Palestinian documentary..
