Sometimes the glass is half full and sometimes it’s half empty. Tangata Tiriti (she/her/ia) in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Worrying about climate change, social injustice, erosion of democracy.

No “diva” is the wrong characterisation of Gauff. A completely gracious player if you follow her or watched her press session on losing to Svitolina. Wanting to smash her racquet and looking for privacy to do so. A feeling every tennis player know.

I think the healthcare system has been very fragile for a long time. Lack of planning for aging population and health workforce etc.

Oh yes of course 😩. So much going on. And after all those digs about the long Kiwi summer shutdown. Hypocrisy.

They could actually staff their stores properly - provide customer service at the same time as deterring shoplifting… rather than relying on racist technology and police resources. They’ll be losing more $ to poor service than shoplifting.

NZ First turning this into an anti immigration issue. How vile.

Just as well we don’t have a housing crisis and thousands of people in desperate housing situations.

Reporter: Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by an ICE Agent.

Leavitt: Why was she killed?

Reporter: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably

Leavitt: You’re a left-wing hack. You’re not a reporter.

Forget Greenland, Iran, collapsing cranes or data breach fallout …. let’s focus the first 7.5 minutes of the 6pm TVNZ news on the ABs coach bring sacked. 7.5 minutes FFS with live cross and extended coverage. NZ get a grip. #nzpol

What part of "independent" does Winston Peters not understand?

I was pleased to see RBNZ governor Anna Breman appears to have integrity to support an international peer. More than Ministers in NZ govt are showing.

One of the most profound things I’ve heard recently was that the advantages of solar and wind power is that you don’t invade other countries for their wind or their sunlight…
