Number of threats against politicians nosedives in Govtโ€™s first year - whatโ€™s changed? Threats and online hate escalated between 2020 and 2022 amid the Govt's Covid response.

Gee, maybe right-wingers just stopped making threats when their team took charge? #occam

I would never have thought that I would be on Winstonโ€™s side and in favour of the sort of trouble he is going to cause. Hipkins better get his A into G and get his party campaigning

The Muldoon super comparison is apt I think. Thereโ€™s risk of freight and logistics logjams and high shipping costs flowing on for years, which will be stubbornly unfixable and directly attributable to this one big decision.

Researchers pen scathing open letter to Minister over Marsden Fund changes Dozens of Rutherford Discovery Fellows condemned "damaging changes" to the Marsden Fund's terms of reference.

Researchers pen scathing open letter to Minister over Marsden Fund changes

"I find it immensely ironic that the Minister is basing this decision on its benefit to the economy, when the study of the economy is itself classed as a social science."

Their dire need to make this year's books look better to pay for irresponsible spending promises is driving a whole lot of delays across infrastructure projects.

If the Cook Strait ferries are not a road of national significance then nothing is.

Media covering Candace Owens' potential visit to New Zealand should make clear she is a Holocaust denier, not merely "controversial".

Big step. Now time for government departments to follow suit.

Liverpool: Austerity City How 14 years of Conservative-led cuts have damaged a city and its people

As Iโ€™m fairly new here, I wanted to share a major project that we published earlier this year

Itโ€™s a months-long deep dive into the devastating impact of 14-years of Conservative austerity policies on a city and its people

This is Austerity City

I'm all for protecting Dr. Fauci and other true patriots who Trump might target with preemptive pardons.

You?

Short bald former airplane ceo who campaigned on fixing youth crime by shoving them into state controlled bootcamps is yielding predictable results, you honestly donโ€™t need a description, this image is irrelevant. Just roll your eyes and vote these braindead shitheads out of government at your earliest convenience.

I get this but imo we shouldn't buy into Seymour's framing.

What I'd insist on is that this has nothing to do with individual rights; it's one party to an agreement that set up this country trying to change the deal unilaterally. As unconstitutional as if the US federal gov tried to abolish states.
