The Trump years were dark. But in little NZ they never lost hope. For NZ had a leader of rare and inspiring character.
In the face of endless climate disaster and economic implosion, he always had just the right uplifting words:
"Welcome to IKEA"
"Welcome to State of Origin"
"Check out my Spotify"

The same people who like to restrict vaccine access are the ones who told voters to support the best friend of the pedo rapist.

Nearly 3000 businesses
liquidated last year, the highest level in 16 years
The last time company failures were that high was during the global financial crisis, with construction and hospitality businesses hit the hardest in 2025, Centrix says.

"The last time company failures were at that level was during the global financial crisis (GFC)"

Yet Labour & National are more or less tied 10months out from an election.

Fck Mandelson being allowed to resign from the Lords "because "it's the honourable thing to do" as just suggested by a former senior civil servant (andvery much part of the establishment) on #bbcpm

Mandelson appears to have committed multiple financial crimes.

Prosecute the crook.

Ban Seabed Mining Join us in calling for a ban on seabed mining before it's too late!

It’s been revealed that the NZ govt is doing a deal with Trump to give the US access to critical minerals.

This could mean vast strip-mining of the Taranaki seabed for vanadium to build US weapons.

We have to stop them.

Sign the petition, call or write to your MP and look out for more.

A picture of the Orc Lieutenant Gothmog amidst his ranks of orc troops at the Battle of Gondor.

As public opinion turns, reports from within Mount Doom suggest Orc Lieutenant Gothmog is to be relieved of command and withdrawn from Gondor back to Minas Morgul where he is expected to soon retire.

Sauron hopes this ends the matter and the Fellowship will now go home and stop blowing whistles.

It's a long trip, but if you've never been to Rarawa beach put that on your list of white sandy beaches that you should visit. Sand so white it squeaks! Great campsite there too...

The Conspiracists feat. Noelle Cook (E355) The new book The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism, and the Lure of Belonging by Noelle Cook offers an unusually intimate look at why seemingly bizarre conspiracy worlds that involve starseeds, ascended

Thanks to QAA for having me on. We talked about my book, The Conspiracists, the work behind it, and what these stories reveal about meaning, identity, and community.

This is worth a read. Former US security services,l pays out some of the major issues facing Trump's US if they invade Greenland.

Europe and the rest of NATO are not powerless against a bullying rogue US, far ftom it.

You have to wonder why it's taken an American to point this out.
