There’s a very real effort to rewrite NZs early COVID experience. Let’s make sure the enquiry don’t just hear from those who’ve fallen for disinformation!

E hoa ma, please make a submission to the COVID Enquiry - they were tough and uncertain times, and Aotearoa fared better than elsewhere in the world, grateful for the quick and decisive leadership of that time. Tena ra koe @siouxsiew.bsky.social

It’s worth taking some time to comment on what NZ did well & what could hv been done better which would also improve public health for all time (eg Clean air standards+investment in public spaces esp in education).

You can be sure the cookers will be out in force reinventing the covid narrative.

Took a few minutes to have my say to the covid response inquiry it felt good to have a say

"It's started"

I passed out a couple of codes this morning and the person has not been able to get them to work - anyone with any ideas why

Re-upping as it may be of use! My timeline also has a bit more info on OIAs - to summarise, head over to fyi.org.nz and they’ll guide you from there.
Do ask questions - and remember this is my personal view!

Hmm same here as the other place, it's all the fault of the people who worked hard, their collective guts out actually, through extremely tough years of often unpredictable times
If I was them I wouldn't be apologising to anyone for anything just as I won't for voting for them

It's worse it looks like an action to conceal the leaks

Yikes, having avoided it so far is it just a matter of time?

Hard case when you've been blocked in a past encounter & you come to find here "all may be forgiven"👀🤐

The media are all raving about a maiden speech yesterday but why not this one if they're after "stellar"content & context

We can have a pissed as a chook anglo/Irish pakeha guy as PM like Muldoon or Pinot guy like Key get away with BS. As soon as lefty wahine pokes her head above parapet the entire weight of the press gallery begins attack.Todd Muller got easy ride for his MH problems why is Tory Whanau different?

Groundbreaking smoking ban abandoned in New Zealand’s swing to the right The new government halted a plan to outlaw smoking, a move critics call “a huge win for the tobacco industry” and “an act of idiocy” for public health.

New Zealand’s new right-leaning coalition government is abandoning a world-leading plan to outlaw smoking for future generations, in a move health experts say is a retrograde step that will cost the country billions of dollars in health care.

It'll probably be Simeon for me, one of the shopping centres here has a massive pothole

Pinched it because I love it #NicotineWillis pass it on

That's an ex-Herald ear it's always there, hasn't left his side since July 2022 I think
Here's another nzme groupie - it's little wonder NZ media completely lacks objectivity

He'll enjoy all the ceremonious aspects of being finally being grand poobah, should that come to pass

He's knees will be knocking at the thought of what he has to agree to - by now I bet he imagined he'd be escorting the wife round to various end of year soirées being lauded by the media & the minions

So if Luxon agrees with his wife for instance does that count?
With only a number of ministerial roles, which all attract a cost on to salaries, to share around has Luxon spoken to & had agreement from MPs in his own party or does the cost of him being PM mean ACT & NZ First have priority to them?

If they're not hairdressers that his problem not the govts

Does he give himself a birthday treat every Nov or the Herald actually followed up on something from the archives for a change, this was him a year ago
Then it was young people going on OE yet there were record numbers coming in for work then as has been report now

Yes I know we were discussing scissors at the time and he's left handed but has managed years with the "normal" ones and I so I said to him "did you know there are left-handed scissors" & then he, foolishly, tried the screw-driver thing and then laughed while I 🙄

My husband of decades tried the left handed-screw-driver one on me the other day after I told him about left handed scissors🙄

I have been thinking about this quote all night ... spread it far and wide ...

Happens - once thought "OMG" & thinking that our elderly cat had become incontinent seeing a shape on the floor just under a curtain in early morning light
I also got all prepared and gingerly picked up a rubber toy dinosaur - I was so glad for me and the cat
