Excellent news.
Not unexpected.
@mountaintui.bsky.social is pumping out vital factual information that deserves a wider audience but finding ethical digital platforms for publishing is becoming more and more difficult.

Tuesday I attracted the attention of a TVNZ camera operator in the Press Gallery at Question Time when I was unable to prevent involuntary retching when Davd Seymour mentioned Roger Douglas in his speech on the illegal Israel/US war in Iran.๐Ÿคฎ
Sadly, not captured on camera.

This war is the Epstein paedophile war.
Not because Trump is trying to distract from the Epstein files.
Because Netanyahu received ALL the Epstein information direct from Epstein, in real time.
Israel has absolute blackmail power over all mega-wealthy funders of Trump.๐Ÿ˜ฑ

IT IS NOT THE JOB OF A PUBLIC BROADCASTER IN A DEMOCRACY TO REPORT THE NEWS IN A WAY THE GOVERNMENT LIKES. IT IS ESPECIALLY NOT OKAY FOR MINISTERS AND POLITICALLY-APPOINTED BOARD MEMBERS TO DICATE INDIVIDUAL EDITORIAL DECISIONS. THIS SHOULD BE FUCKING OBVIOUS.

Christopher Luxon forced into another correction over Iran war visas The Greens say the prime minister "snuck" into the House "late last night" to correct the record.

Fairly high up the list of attributes required from a Prime Minister is "good in a crisis". Then there's this fool saying whatever comes into his head. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Luxon goes out of his way to never (again) be questioned by journalists who won't let him off the hook once they've captured a headline or a soundbite.
Luxon's obvious deficiencies demand proper scrutiny, whenever he faces the media.

Journalists who can smell the blood in the water surrounding the PM and fail to finish him off in a vicious feeding frenzy are almost as useless to us as Luxon.

It's not up to Labour to step aside, it's up to us to elevate the NZ Greens the same way that Zack Polanski has done for the UK Greens.โœŒ๏ธ

Chris Hipkins, Marama Davidson, and Rawiri Waititi all spoke with moral clarity and a passion for justice and a clear understanding of the UN definition of the illegality of an aggressive war that was absolutely missing from Luxon's victim blaming speech.โœŒ๏ธ

I don't trust that electorate at all.
I suspect they will elect Casey Costello instead.
(another) Nightmare.๐Ÿ˜ฑ
They put Winston Peters in Parliament back when it was the Hunua electorate.
History demonstrates that electorate's judgement is dodgy AF.

Milei's government not only received a US $20-40 billion (NZD $33-$67 billion) bailout from Trump, his government is bringing in 12 hour work days, and stripping overtime which many Argentinians rely on

Disproportionate treatment sees 149 more Mฤori women in prison The Ministry of Justice can't explain more than half of the disproportionate representation of Mฤori women among those sentenced to prison.

Green Party corrections spokesperson Tamatha Paul said โ€œunexplained disproportionalityโ€ was a euphemism for systemic racism and misogyny.

" itโ€™s clear to me that Mฤori women are carrying the criminal consequences of poverty,โ€ she said.
