National Party admits it sold too many state houses Thomas Coughlan July 7, 2020-9:36am Share AORAKI National MP Nicola Willis said it showed "serious hypocrisy" on the Government's behalf. ROSS GIBLIN/STUFF

Nicola Willis on RNZ being her most condescending & saying they've build more public houses in the last 20 months than labour did in the previous 3 years. Oh yeah? How many of those houses were budgeted and started by Labour & there will be plenty of receipts to show it. You just lie at will #NZPol

What a wild coincidence!

Sorry you dames, I am so over excited and got a bit faint there

We also read Alive which was the story of the Uruguayan rugby team that survived a plane crash in the Andes in 1972 and had to eat those who didn't survive

You just reminded me I wanna read The Quiet Earth

Can I get a hallelujah!

If anyone else had a cold I would always end up with a chest infection

I can not even name the times I would just have a bad asthma attack then be in hospital a few days, it seems unfair to judge a child with a chronic condition like us along side perfectly healthy children

“The Government gambled that people care more about saving money for high income and landlord tax cuts than paying women what they are worth. This poll shows that gamble has backfired badly.” #NZPol

As a lifelong asthmatic I just want to say some kids are more sickly than others and it's not their fault, cringing at the thought of an attendance board with me lagging behind on it, like reading and writing due to dyslexia, plus I wasn't any good at sports - thank goodness I had art!

I've just realised it's been 35 years for me, I am like the old woman on the Titanic

Winston as ever playing the victim like a flute

It'll be ok because the repost is identical just with all the handle tags working

This is wild, I bought it on a whim a few years ago and just never got around to reading it

I had to delete and repost because the tags were messed up now were are all replying to a deleted post lol

This is the cover version that I read went I was in 5th Form which was 15 years old

I had a blast of an idea for a book to do from my high school day and @scorcheded.bsky.social suggested asking y'all what you think?

@tibookchatter.bsky.social
@typhaneyb.bsky.social

The Outsiders S E Hinton

I'll do a separate thread

This is ART!

Jobs market troubles putting pressure on RBA rate calls The Reserve Bank’s job is to hold inflation steady and keep as many people in work as possible. The jobs market is showing signs of trouble.

Meanwhile in Aus where their reserve bank does have a mandate to keep an eye on jobs...

Fate (Ka!)

I read it in high school and bought a copy a few years back and never got around to rereading - my whole teenage heart would love to see how it stands up

I really did wonder, it's been so long since I read it

Oh I have a good one, did any of you ladies read The Outsiders back in the day?

Never read for me but would love to

Gods I'd love to cast my cynical adult feminist eye over Catcher In The Rye but also maybe understand his mental health better

I have read none of these

Agree

This is the worst goddamn thing I’ve read all day.

I just got a YA book that would be perfect but it's brand new and New Zealand author lol

I am not sniffy about YA at all though

I've watched movies I hate 3 or 4 times lol
