We are definitely going to be on the wrong side of history with this.

We are a country that said NO to Apartheid era South Africa.

We said NO to nukes.

But condemnation of the genocide in Gaza? That's just too much for our coalition govt.

Shame on them.

18 frames at semi-regular interval of the solar eclipse this morning.  The sun glowing orange with the circular disk of the moon passing in front

This morning's #SolarEclipse as seen from up on Muaūpoko Otago Peninsula, Dunedin NZ.

The cloud prevented the full set of images & at regular intervals, but this is kinda fun.

Paying 122% For 0 i-Rex Ferries? You're On! Plus Edition: 98.7% of submitters oppose the RSB, foreign investors ban soon to be lifted, Gaza, Climate and more

NZ has now paid 120% of the full cost of 2 next generation, hybrid ferries for *checks notes* nothing at all. Those ferries were on track for 2025 & 2026 delivery.

Extra points: our only rail enabled ferry is being retired on Monday & maintenance costs have doubled

Should be sackable

Part of me says 'interesting debate', the other reminds me that most foreign friends would wonder why you're arguing over the two worst food substances ever created. Up the Marm!
