My relative died because of the handwashing advice for a predominantly airborne virus. When in actual fact the risk on surfaces is less than 1 in 10,000 and I expected this government to expose this and I’m still waiting for them to morally do the right thing.

Israel murdered five al-Jazeera journalists, including Anas Al-Sharif.

They did so because they're now liquidating Gaza City, and want to silence the remaining witnesses.

To Western journalists silent about the slaughter of your colleagues:

Their blood is on your hands, too.

Action against Israel must come alongside recognition of Palestine

Action against Israel must come alongside recognition of Palestine

Prime Minister Luxon has announced that Cabinet will consider recognising the State of Palestine in September.

This is a good step for NZ to take. 

Recognition alone will not bring peace to Gaza and the West Bank.

New Zealand must take a strong stand - expel the Israeli ambassador and bring in sanctions now!

Demand better from our Government. Tell Christopher Luxon and Winston Peters to take action against Israel AND recognise Palestine.

New political poll predicts hung Parliament The Taxpayers' Union-Curia Poll also puts Christopher Luxon level with Labour's Chris Hipkins in preferred prime minister ratings.

This closeness is perhaps why the coalition is looking to stop people enrolling to vote during the voting period. Special votes usually break left. At the last election, National ended up with 2 fewer seats than on election night after special votes were counted.

We have gas hot water, cooking and one fire place. We have a log fire that we have to use a lot in winter unfortunately. We have small electric heaters on in the kid’s rooms at night on timers. Our energy bill was $474 this month. I have no idea how people are keeping their house warm.

Yes they do, but that’s not really the focus. They mainly tote guns and belong to the NRA. Some humans get shot.

But I think that’s when I got really disgusted and annoyed with certain types of health programs who insisted they weren’t about losing weight but giving you tools to be healthy.

But if that were the case, they would have an app for pregnant people. They would’ve accounted for this scenario.

Citizens not voting for local government in this region is not apathy. It's due to almost zero publicity of an election and no readily available information on the politics and competence of candidates. Including the lot currently elected. Lack of party support and media coverage are also factors

Greens look to be tail wagging the dog - should Labour be worried? Analysis: If Labour's manifesto remains light on detail for too long, the Greens could end up setting the agenda and the terms of debate by default.

But what if the tail is the only bit of the dog that's moving?

This is an absolute travesty and a dangerous new step in the decades-long decline into authoritarianism that the UK has been undergoing under both Tory and Labour governments.

it's so deranged how rich business owners have demanded for decades that they be called "job creators" despite the fact that every single person i know has experienced a rich guy buying out an existing business and firing everyone and usually completely bankrupting it before cashing out and leaving
