You gotta read this. The level of intellect. No wonder him and Luxon get along. Same wave length. I bet he gonna crack something like Kia means kya (what ) and ora means aura so What A Aura you have Mr Luxon (or replace with another name) *khikhikhi* (asinine laugh).

Our open letter to media and politicians regarding Narendra Modi's visit to Aotearoa. Look beyond the hype, question the FTA, question the deep presence of Hindutva in Aotearoa and how it manifests.

Please keep an eye out for such disinformation. I checked out this page and it is full of weird stuff from being pro migrant, seemingly Green supporter to endorsing Modi and Trump. Also Shreejan is not Indian, he is Nepali.

RNZ still giving right of reply to the Israeli embassy in 2026, while platforming AMB on China, really does underline that RNZ is specifically not a news agency anymore regarding international politics - it’s a five eyes security asset

Ah the solemn tones of John Campbell and Anne-Marie Brady re China's one nation policy. Now do India mate. We have been facing Hindi imposition since 2014 with Hindutva hegemony over our local cultures, customs, foods...everything. S But nah the 'largest democracy' as opposed to the CCP....

This one from today was somehow even more colorful?? 😍 #EmotionalSupportSpood

Just putting it out there, I am not going to engage with Hindu fascist enablers and Hindutva stooges disguised as journalists. Whether it is regarding Modi's visit or anything in general. So do not message me on my socials. Thank you.

Gaurav Sharma never reported on Parmjeet's anti-Māori kōrero ever. Hate speech legislation qas not under discussion then but now that Indian communities are being targeted it is an issue. Read what she says here none of which Gaurav challenges. 1/2

The Peacock butterfly. Its unusual appearance and interesting behavioral traits have long attracted the attention of naturalists and nature enthusiasts alike.

If you see Nat, ACT & NZF MPs at Matariki events you might want to ask them why they are there given their ongoing work to undermine Te Tiriti and remove public use of te Reo Māori, Māori representation, etc. There’s a word for people who turn up to photo ops for something they oppose: Hypocrite.

Hilarious (from my Indian perspective). Now let's ask how many Indian candidates/MPs are Hindutva supporters. Or RSS members. Like Mahesh Bindra. All of them would be out of the lists then. Maybe not Rakesh and Priyanca coz they slippery.

Quite often, I find myself missing Helen Kelly and Georgina Beyer.

I hear this guy was absolutely frothing about needing to defeat China at the recent 60th Anniversary for Otago Foreign Policy School - to the extent that he was called out by other people in the room The imperialism is SO rank and SO overt yet our media wrap around these freaks and platform them

Government continues to make the case that my paper about what an ongoing failure by the political branches to meet the expected norms of accountability might mean for what courts are justified in doing really is quite topical. This from yesterday; I'm presenting my paper on Friday.

No mention of Tiriti, equity, learning reo etc. No mention of potential casual Islamophobia and casteist slurs (both if which I know Indian doctors here face at the hands of other Indian doctors). We obviously need more doctors but how do we implement justice in the training programme?

The Kia Ora Modi producers have a 'Souvenir Team' one of whom is asking for the congratulatory welcome messages. They might even conjure up fake awards for him like the one he got from Seychelles 2 days ago 🤣 Guardian Of The Blue Horizon. While he allows the felling of > 1 million trees 🌳

Quilae is utterly politically näive, worse than a school student. She will capitulate the moment she is in Parliament..if she gets in. I am tired of hearing about their non-policies.

The sound is fantastic, but look at those tiny feathers! 🥰 TT: @coppervinefeeders Ruby-throated hummingbird Dubuque, Iowa

One of the event organisers has been asking various NZ politicians to write congratulatory welcome messages for Modi. Imagine that! Asking to be welcomed. Only a narcissist, insecure person, a showboater without a shred of shame can do that. 1/2

Here's some anecdotal stories about Modi's upcoming visit to Aotearoa. Via community networks. The Indians here know how much it has been hyped up but we also know it is all hot air. 1. Local Indian media talked about possible large venues because people turn out to lay their eyes on the man... 1/6

I hope the lesson is that piss-weak centrism will not keep you in power. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Nom nom nom nom…

Ah the drama before Modi arrives. FTA, anti-Indian Tamaki rhetoric... Like he wrote the script coz he loves this kind of shit so he can lecture about it to his devotees at the Kia Ora Modi event. And all the attending NZ politicians will agree with him coz they wanna show the Indians they care...

I love these birds! Southern yellow-billed hornbill. They spend most of there time foraging for food on the ground. They eat insects of all kinds and occasionally seeds and fruits. They are a slender 48-60cm

I really enjoy the Minister of Fruit and Veggies segment from First Up they replay on Morning Report.🙌

Four-winged flying fish (tropical oceans) are remarkable they do not actually fly, but instead glide above the water. Using both their enlarged pectoral and pelvic fins, these fish can reach speeds of 70 km/h and sore up to 400meters in this in a single sustained flight to escape predators.
