Luxon's head will be on a swivel as he picks at his face waiting to be knifed in the back by one of his colleagues

I'm starting to think there may some correlation between the massive increase in meth importation and this coalition of chaos

Cartoon. Image shows the word β€˜ISRAEL” in blue and white, submerged in red liquid, with skulls floating in it. On top of the word are three soldiers. Two are firing rifles, and a third has just fired his.

Why is it a nightmare though? Lack of funding and lack of planning? I struggle to see, unless the prime aim is privatisation - how creating an agency with all its overheads and beuracracy will make things better short, medium and even long term.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

Yeah like I said not saying you're wrong but I know they get dispatched a lot to assist in jobs, Auckland is a big car-centric city so it honestly doesn't surprise. Some of the sorties will probably be training too

Not saying you're wrong but I hear them on the radio a lot. Last time it was pursuit of an armed offender following a domestic violence incident. A lot of times it's stolen vehicles. They sometimes have to orbit because there aren't gaps to cross the airport arrival and departure paths

It's insane how this chart elegantly represent the hopes, dreams and overall trajectory of Aotearoa New Zealand as a collective society under the CoC. I continue to be flabbergasted that this joke CEO is the front person for the worst ever neoliberal tribute band whilst cosplaying as NZ PM.

It's not hard to imagine a scenario where migrant workers in the US are detained in ICE raids, thrown into Trump's migrant camps, then are sent off to work at the same farms and orchards they were originally picked up from, with the state taking what would have been their wage.

I skimmed through it and just couldn't help but think what a pathetic man.

One thing I really think needs to be hammered into β€œlibertarians” & other right wing freaks is the cost of helping other people is almost always less than the cost of not helping them. Because we live in a society & we are all connected & you are SO MUCH CLOSER to being sick and poor than you think!

Tory's right, everyone disturbed by this is right, it is authoritarian behaviour and needs to be stamped out from the very top.

I guess it's all very subjective. I really like the look, especially compared to the 60s place next door

What a time to be alive! I skipped past it initially because I thought it must be a joke. But wow words literally have no meaning with that lot.

It feels like a very considered strategy to give her a gong and further legitimise her, along with her Chairing TPU. With the coalition dragging the economy they need lots of sock puppets with "kudos" to help

Have you tried to politely ask she please goes to sleep? Can confirm that doesn't work. Neither does yelling threats from the other side of the door as it turns out. Will send vibes into the ether

I feel like in the future "the Royal Commission of Inquiry find [relevant minister/cabinet] who defunded this... culpable" will be the legacy of the NACTFirst COC

That's why the very nice and friendly corporates overlords love us so much. But I do love the sounds of socialised critical infrastructure!

I'm obviously very dumb but I don't understand the point of these critical utilities making mega profits and continuing to increase prices while lessening competition and stifling infrastructure renewal and development.

Very, very keen but possibly looking to move within the year so would prefer to do it on the next place.
