Clearly not living in rural Northland where there are no ballot boxes within 50 kms or reliable rural mail service. We need ballot boxes in most/all public places

Sometime in the 1980s I was asked by botanist Katie Reynolds (who I'm sure you will know) to assist her in eliminating an aggressive infestation of paper mulberry in her garden. No idea if same sp.

FYI I’ll be on TVNZ Breakfast from 7:05am to talk about the age of eligibility for NZ Super. I say don't extend it. It’s not fair on manual workers, Maori, Pasifika, the disabled & those in 30s/40s without the unearned wealth those in 60s/70s are now sitting on. Land tax/wealth tax better. #nzpol

No worries madam. Take up our subsidised tobacco addiction programme and end your complaining life earlier.

Govt takes a billion in revenue each year in dividends and tax from the electricity sector. This is a regressive form of taxation that causes factories to collapse. Why cant we just tax capital gains like a grown up country

This cast iron truth also applies to most other areas of Government control and now seemingly to Conservation

Lovely stuff. Increasingly effective pest control possibly elevating fishing industry bird bycatch as a population limiter?

Probably forgiveable due to overwork. The health system truly is at breaking point. Oddly, old people like me get great service eg X-ray, physio and offer of surgery for minor bursitis in shoulder. Seems to be policy bc it's so obvious

Mexico and Canada have laser beams killing Americans crossing the border to escape starvation. All deceased people are used for blood n bone fertiliser. King Barron gets a brain transplant to enable him to speak, Democrat Leader Malia Obama cooperates by donating her son "for national unity"

Luxon himself handed me the Prime Minister's science prize last year. Let me say this in plain English: he's an idiot for running a govt who budgeted more for AI than for the Marsden fund. any journo reading this can quote me on it #nzpol
