Live on RNZ Kieran McAnulty just challenged Chris Bishop to a trailer backing contest and Bishop ceded because he admits he can not

If you’re trying to get a submission in and you just can’t get through, please, try again. If after many attempts and much patience that doesn’t work, email the committee staff and ask (politely) for assistance. The address to use is fe@parliament.govt.nz 2/2

Brian Driscoll, the acting director of the FBI, sporting curly hair, a kinda rakish jazz dirtbag moustache and beard combo, a faintly amused look in his eyes and a wry "whaddaya gonna do" smirk

I've got to say, the guy who accidentally became the Director of the FBI does 100% look like the guy who accidentally becomes the Director of the FBI in a mid-2000s comedy about a guy who accidentally becomes the Director of the FBI

The heat-related mental health dive is so real. I’m hanging out for autumn the moment summer heat starts!

We should all be entitled to an additional public holiday this year to make up for the unpaid time we had to take writing submissions on stupid Act Party bills

Thank you for sharing your submissions, Maurie! They have helped me to clarify my thoughts, instead of being overcome by strong feelings!

The economy shrank 1% this quarter and New Zealand has tumbled into the depths of a recession of Nicola Willis’ making. Her cuts and austerity has fed the recessionary fire, and today’s GDP figures show this, recording the weakest 6-month period since 1991, excluding COVID-19.

Ted Lasso is my show. It’s the one I rewatch again and again so I can live in their alternate universe!

*Jewish protesters.

Some of the largest protests we've seen since this all broke out are by by *Jews* saying: Not in our name. Never again for ANYONE.

Hey, if you'd normally do Secret Santa, but well, won't be doing it this year for obvious reasons, why not consider popping the funds you would have spent on that towards making Christmas merrier for kids who might not otherwise get a pressie from Santa. ❀️

I did this last year! It was so long and heavy; I was having a pain flare and the weight of my hair was making my head so sore, so I got my daughter to cut my ponytail off. Best. Thing. EVER!!! Got my hairdresser to tidy it up a couple of days later. It will never be longer than my shoulders again!

My sister and I had it on video and watched it so many times growing up. We still quote parts of it in regular conversation! Even better, my kids do now too! It's so funny!

That whole smug 'oh Chris, oh Chris, so negative' just shows what a bully Luxon is. The gaslighting in plain sight is astounding.
