Wow that trial bootcamp was a disaster of titanic dimensions.

And yet zero members of the Gallery calling for the Minister's head?

A truly fascinating contrast to former Govts.

Labour also calls for: sanctions against Israel for its illegal occupation of the Palestinian Territories in line with ICJ ruling, NZ should intervene in Sth Africa's genocide case at the ICJ, push for immediate ceasefire and accountability of Netanyahu et al for war crimes. 4/4

"A budget blowout of $8 million dollars"
"The cost is expected to grow by $52 million over the 2024 to 2027 period"

This is:
0.017% of the $2.9 billion tax break to landlords.
0.17% of the $300 million tax break to Philip Morris

Labour should proceed with Hipkins who is now at least more popular than Luxon, (Luxon is also still our biggest asset due to his unpopularity with the public) if they don't pull ahead in the polls then at the 6 week i.e. Jacinda mark Hipkins hands over to McAnulty in a bloodless Hail Mary play, it would be like The Warriors winning the election which is apt

And now for something completely different! #NZPol

Wild theory from me, I know there is a faction who want McAnulty to roll Hipkins now, I don't agree with that but I do have a wild idea:

We may be witnessing the most egregious steal in our modern history...and the country seems deathly quiet about it.

Yet,the consequences cannot be underedtimated.

If the Nats proceed with their gerrymandering; and if the RW bloc wins by 1 or 2 seats - usually redistributed after Specials - ... (1)

The only way you can have a fair unbiased election is if everyone can vote up to and including polling day

Anything else is an attack on democracy

She was the last: Penguin starvation crisis sparks call for emergency fishing ban The fate of the hoiho - among the world’s rarest penguin species - rests with two ministers.

Pulled lifeless from a commercial fishing net off the Otago coast, the adult female yellow-eyed penguin had drowned in a silent, unseen death.

She was the last known breeding-age female Hoiho from the Sandfly Bay colony.

We waited in line patiently at the supermarkets. Was polite to our neighbours. Buying the limit of toilet paper
Just so we could save as many lives as possible

But Nicola could do better
She can cancel anything, possibly vaccines and shut down the health system.
That's what RW govts do

They don’t act in good faith, and I think it was perfectly reasonable of WJP to ignore bad faith overtures. Shame on Hipkins. Bloody hell.
