It's very zen. I love it.

BONKERS!

The Luxon Govt’s rewrite of the RMA laws allows companies to claim financial compensation (from taxpayers) when councils introduce rules to limit pollution or protect the environment.

Westpac the first to move fixed mortgage rates up, although one short rate will dip The Red Bank hikes some fixed home loan rates by +30 bps citing recent swap rate movements. The have also raised some longer term TD rates by a similar amount

Banning children from social media really means a push for adult digital ID. Tech giants failed at their first generation ‘real names policies’. This time, they‘ve outsourced the work to corporate-supporting politicians and useful idiots.

Christopher Luxon trying to re-Aline the entire Aotearoa holiday season to be in line with when he wants to go to Hawaii is the most hilariously Christopher Luxon thing he’s done SO FAR lol #NZPol

Oh no, sorry that happened. Sadly these are desperate times for some (I assume, or maybe they're just toerags). What about doing a givealittle?

Some might say, hacking billboards is noble work. 😉

Great culture can save lives. Literally.

Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Wording needs improvement. They need to add the word "dependant" to "do you have children?" And are you a solo parent "of dependant children".

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild:

- Bear
- Marmot
- Kea
- Kangaroo
- Eagle

Every right-wing “grassroots”organisation in New Zealand is just Jordan Williams, David Farrar, and one randomly-selected Atlas Network apparatchik in a trenchcoat

My nephew is dyslexic and his high school offers an alternative learning track for students like him.
My sister called the school yesterday to confirm she'd like him enrolled in that programme and was told it might not be available next year because the new curriculum doesn't include it. 😱😱

Australia finally acknowledges environment underpins all else. That’s no small thing | Ken Henry In what are dangerous times for democracies around the world, parliament’s overhaul of nature laws in the EPBC Act shows ambitious reform remains possible

Australia has recognised a fundamental truth: that *everything* depends on healthy wild ecosystems.

Time for the rest of the world to follow suit, and then ACT on it.

In today’s NZ Herald

Controversial Regulatory Standards Bill passes third reading The bill got the backing of the coalition parties

There were 159,000 written submissions on the Regulatory Standards Bill (on top of over 23,000 submissions last year) - numbers that are second only to the Treaty Principles Bill in NZ’s history.

More than 98% of public submissions were opposed.

There’s a word for this, but it’s not democracy.
