Queenstown businessman complains that staff in a cafe he owns can't afford to rent flats that he owns or park in carparks he own, let alone buy groceries in a supermarket he owns. Calls for govt assistance to subsidise his greed. rnz.co.nz/news/business/5839…

@dbseymour - Nobody wants Charter Schools in Aotearoa! They are neither Private nor Public-just bleed from the Public Purse to fund Private Enterprise/Agenda! David Seymour admits charter school conversions tougher than expected, via @nzherald nzherald.co.nz/nz/david-seym…

Thank you Helen Clark. Your knowledge, experience and wisdom needs to be heard. We have a government that’s incapable of thought and policy on such vital issues
#NZ governments have respected the independence of country’s central bank since law passed in 1989 which took effect in 1990. But MAGA-style government in NZ now puts this independence in question, a very disturbing development. ⁦@ReserveBankofNZ⁩ rnz.co.nz/news/political/584…

Are we seriously suggesting that we should sit by and ignore the fact that the independence of the reserve bank of the largest economy on the planet is under threat? Especially when our largest partners signed the letter? Anna Breman did the right thing.

Just a reminder that firefighters consistently rank as one of the most trusted professions and politicians consistently rank as one of the least

Its crazy that the new zealand media refuses to cover the iran protests. According to this article i read on stuff.co.nz its a singificant event. Incredible shots of it on one news. And yet zero coverage. Total silence

Sounds like even the Police are tired & sad this is what they're having to possibly deal with while urgent matters are excused by handing almost $4m to some Auck business owner to shout his mates morning teas It really sums up the futility a lot of people are feeling

What Israel is doing to Palestinian people in Gaza is now almost entirely absent from news headlines. But despite the ‘ceasefire’, Israel is still killing Palestinians and their babies are freezing to death. We must not stop talking about that. We must not look away.

Canopy Health, NZ private health provider, suffered a major cyber attack 6 months ago & covered it up. Patients are still in the dark & the company can't tell anyone what data was stolen. No wonder Simeon Brown was downplaying MMH - what did he know and when? #nzpol #kiwi

Over 180 writers withdraw and the festival is cancelled. However for Bishop, the sole point of his reply is simply to mock Ardern’s withdrawal Small dick energy, from a small dick teapawt.org/6newsau/status/2010922…
