A real dick-head.

And offering fulltime employment?

Willis: "We are right now confronting issues that were not confronted for too long, and I mean decades, not just years, and so I’m afraid, John Key ... I’m not letting you off the hook either,”

I wonder what issues she is referring to.

AND, quit tax breaks for landlords and tobacco industry

What does "supercharging" mean after having frozen said activity and causing a collapse in the construction sector?

And the money has been found where? From increased tax intake due to the booming economy?

What would happen if everyone voted? Researchers suggest big changes Voter turnout in the United States is pretty low compared to other industrialized countries. While the 2016 US presidential election saw a 56% turnout rate, the 2017 general election in […]

#nzpol Just wondering/dreaming how things would be in NZ if everyone voted.

Yeah! New @bioeconomyscience.bsky.social logo, which compliments our Brahms database for #BioCollections perfectly. 🎉🧪

Same here - avoiding all things USA as best as I can..., typed from my Chinese phone, sitting in my Korean car, wearing German branded shoes, consuming locally produced food and juice. #nzpol

Best to have it as part of manifesto, and implement within first 100 days

Could the next government not bring 3Waters back.? #nzpol

#nzpol Any other graphs out there, like for butter

#NZPol In the face of having basically the lowest investment in R+D in the OECD, our 'going for growth' 💩🤡's have cut our science agencies, research grants, universities and polytechnics and fired a bunch of people.

It's unbelievable idiocy.

Should Europe wean itself off US tech? Just three US firms provide 70% of Europe's cloud-computing, leading to fears of overreliance.

Yes! We need more European alternatives.

Are we destined to be always led by inappropriate leaders? From battlefield warriors to charisma merchants, our leaders seem ever skilled in all but true wisdom and service

#nzpol I guess the answer to this question is, yes, at least for now.

Not my field of expertise, except to say that my wife can confirm less sag without, as has been reported in the scientific literature, e.g. www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/259...

Christopher Luxon shrugs off polls showing tight electoral race The Taxpayers' Union-Curia poll showed Labour overtaking National as the most popular party and no clear path to power for either side.

"What I'm focused on is ... making sure we've got the right long term economic plan in place." Well, unless you are a multiterm government, there is no such thing as a long term beyond 3 years in NZ. The short election cycle is part of the problem. #nzpol

#nzpol but higher than during Covid?

adding SARS-CoV-2 Mpro (in red, purple, blue, gray, little green) to a test tube with pink plasma, causes activation of VII and XII (red circles) to make a blood clot (RBCs with yellow platelets and yellow fibrin)

🩸A new study shows that adding SARS-CoV-2’s main protease (Mpro) enzyme to plasma from healthy donors can trigger blood clots by activating coagulation factors VII and XII. buff.ly/hWZB7aS

🩸This may help explain why COVID increases blood clot risk.

NZ hit with 15% Trump trade tariff, Trade Minister says he will push back Trade Minister Todd McClay says New Zealand is being unfairly penalised.

Hmm,so the government welcoming the FBI to Wellington did not prevent this. Why would we as a country still welcome them? #nzpol

So the Paywave charge is now baked in and whereas before I could avoid it by not tapping, now I am forced to take that cost.

What type of ridiculous policy is this? Is this a policy sponsored by the big banks and NZ Initiative?

Why do we have such pig headed politicians in power?

Can this be repealed by a new government?

You are right. Action speaks louder than words.

How about rail between Rotorua and Tauranga!?!

Good on her! Just saying I and others avoid FB like the plague.

Good idea. I hate the thought of making Zuckerberg richer, so don't use Facebook.

Well, Perth is the most isolated city in the world. I don't recall groceries being more expensive there.

Maybe cost of living crises has changed things? Would pay to compare us with Australia. Having returned from there, the price difference for groceries is noticeable. #nzpol

Good idea for opposition to campaign on after revoking break for landlords. #nzpol
