TV One just had a vox pop from a middle aged man calling Andrew MB a "naughty prince" and that he got "distracted and framed" by someone and OMFG, what is wrong with men? Why are men? Imagine being so much of a creep you would say that aloud to a camera for the news, imagine his social media!

Oh good, that'll tell 'em

big reason elites in other countries are facing consequences is none of their powerful religious blocs spent the last decade creating a permission structure for the most openly debauched man in their country in exchange for more power

Keeping the tax low for Australian banks operating in New Zealand is how National cabinet ministers get highly paid jobs when they get thrown out of politics.
NZ is the most profitable location for Australian owned banks#,

Parliament ditches X, formerly Twitter, over deepfakes Free Speech Union writes to the Speaker as Clerk of House says he doesn’t want his organisation associated with controversial platform.

The FSU in here promoting forced speech on their preferred platform and also making a basic legal error in doing so tells you all you need to know about the sincerity and quality of their free speech advocacy.

Looks like the evil spawn of donald trump, David Duchovny and Alan Partridge

We really hate him #NZPol

Market isn’t bidding up shitcos anymore. Better pull back the ipo

When will every major UK rail operator be nationalised? Here’s the full list of operators and the dates they will be taken over by the government.

One thing other countries can learn from the UK is how terrible an idea privatizing rail is. The UK will renationalize the railways (and has already done so for many lines), and we will hopefully stop receiving spam from all the individual operators.

They need to renationalize water next.

Government 'listened to Aucklanders' by weakening housing intensification rules, Character Coalition says The Character Coalition said the requirement for two million zoned sites was always an unrealistic and unnecessary target.

Onde again RNZ, let me fix thet headline for you …

Government listened to about A HANDFUL OF NIMBYS from rich leafy suburbs while ignoring the nearly 1 million Aucklanders that support intensification where it makes sense.

I'm gonna need news outlets to stop reporting that people are "fleeing from age verification" on platforms like Discord.

That's not what is happening. "Age verification" isn't the problem. The demand for surveillance is. The data scraping is.

Kindly stop spreading their false narrative.

Stupidity is always a very expensive folly. 🙄 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

The ‘New Zealand First Betrayed Workers’ pitch should be a no-brainer this election because no matter how enraged Winston might get at the accusation he’s literally got no comeback that survives 30 seconds of examination.

Parliament ditches X, formerly Twitter, over deepfakes Free Speech Union writes to the Speaker as Clerk of House says he doesn’t want his organisation associated with controversial platform.

Clerk of the House David Wilson tells me it was him who decided to stop Parliament posting on Twitter.

He says Grok's abuse imagery and the lack of a serious response from the platform were the reason.

The Tesla market cap is more than the market cap of Toyota, BYD, GM, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Stellantis, Geely, Ferrari, BMW, Volkswagen Group, Honda, Nissan, Renault, XPENG, and NIO combined.

At what point will the Tesla market cap collapse?

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships with CBP officers at the airports he frequented.

A chart rating the reputations of countries show falling from 30 to 48, and Ukraine rising from 31 to 26.

We're finally respected in the world again.🙄

The fact that it's been eight months and Tesla hasn't delivered a single additional car this way confirms what we warned about at the time: this was a marketing event, not a technology deployment.

Bring back the apple standard doc responsible for osx 10.6.8 before it got concrete shoed for the ipad/ iphone launch.

I sharply said "absolutely not. how dare you. that's violence. you say I'm sorry, NOW." mum turns around and goes "excuse me?"

Expert’s shock as MPs cut her off while she explained supermarkets’ power games The face of Lisa Asher, an expert in how supermarkets build pricing power, said it all when she was cut off while telling MPs how supermarkets extract maximum profits.

I only joined the Greens a year ago (although I've party voted for them for years) and have been very impressed by their democratic processes and inclusivity. There are many ways to express disagreement without complaining anonymously to the media and making spurious claims about the process #nzpol
