Did I just hear "minimum viable product" coming out of the mouth of the Centerport head regarding what Winnie has asked him to deliver for the ferry terminals?

Nice!

Profile: netsafe Tory Whanau Former Mayor of Wellington/Current corporate affairs consultant Member since 2025 I care deeply about the online safety of marginalised communities, especially women, women of colour and tangata whenua. Too often, the systems designed to protect us fall short. I'm driven to help strengthen the Harmful Digital Communications Act so that it's more robust, truly safeguards victims of abuse and harassment, and continues to evolve with the realities of the digital world Netsafe plays a vital role in leading that change, and I want to contribute my passion, my lived experience, and my understanding of how online harm impacts real lives to help shape a safer, more equitable digital environment for everyone. As former Mayor of Wellington, I bring extensive governance and leadership experience across complex public, regional, and corporate settings. I chaired the Council that delivered a $12 billion Long-Term Plan, was a key member of the Water Committee and AoG group establishing the new water entity for the Wellington region, and collaborated with fellow leaders through the Wellington Mayoral Forum. I also served on the Boards of Wellington Airport and Täwhiri Arts, strengthening my expertise in strategic oversight, stakeholder engagement, and cross-sector collaboration. Alongside my governance experience and my role as Chief of Staff for the Green Party during the 2017 and 2020 coalitions, what I bring most importantly is lived experience. For three years, I was the target of a sustained, gendered disinformation campaign that sought to destroy my character while I served as Mayor. The content was often violent, dehumanising, and deeply harmful. Having personally engaged with Netsafe through the Harmful Digital Communications Act process, I experienced firsthand the value of their support and advocacy. I now want to use that experience to help strengthen both the legal protections available to victims and the services Netsafe provides.

Any Netsafe members on BlueSky? I’ve put myself forward for one of two available positions on the Board. I care deeply about protection against online harm and want to use my experience to strengthen the HDCA and tools to help others feel safe. HMU if you want to chat further.

it goes without saying, you're not losing jobs that don't exist by cancelling consents that haven't been issued, hired to support or even the projects themselves finalised beyond application stages

‘Doolally, economic vandalism’ - Willis blasts Greens’ mining intervention The Greens’ promise to revoke fast-tracked consents on seven mining projects has prompted government ministers to come out swinging, and one mining company to defend itself.

Willis is part of a Govt that is destroying NZ’s core international brand, ripping up our Paris climate commitments, deliberately undermining the climate sections of trade agreements , that has alienated Aus and the Pacific by supporting bottom trawling etc etc www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Sorry you had to wait 10 months for your cancer surgery – a politician needed to save 10 minutes getting to the airport.

Willis cancelled IREX because the final cost was going to be $3bn

Ferries that are critical for goods transport.

$4bn for a tunnel so politicians can get to the airport faster? And that’s before the costs escalate as they always do.

Sounds pretty dumb to me.

Absolutely fucking RIDICUOUS proposal and Andrew Little can fuck right off with his “support overall with a bit of discussion”. I really should have put the Rewilding Clown first on my voting paper instead of third.

The Greens will repeal the Regulatory Standards Bill.

But ACT won't give up.

They will spend millions into fooling voters that free market capitalism is the only future left for New Zealand.

However, you can help stop ACT from getting even more power.

The inside story of how police protected a senior cop, and prosecuted his accuser instead For years, police leadership ignored warnings about Jevon McSkimming. The IPCA has set out the chain of failures.

Honestly, the IPCA report into the police (mis)handling of the McSkimming case makes for jaw-dropping reading.

But it’s 135 pages long so I’ve read it for you.

Here’s my report on one of the most serious failures of integrity in modern policing history⬇️⬇️

IPCA report says the PM and Police Minister were in receipt of the McSkimming emails

Would be nice to get some answers about who kew what & when about all of that
