Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

HDPA / media now applying the full Louise Nicholas treatment to the victim. So fucking predictable.

I bet Trump will try to block the BBC from any form of broadcast in the US now.

Labour will repeal the Regulatory Standards bill.

Weekly jobs update... how's the hopium? I am guessing you could see we're back on track... if the track we're back on is one of those slow grinding uphill kinda tracks. When will the crappening stop? [🧵1/n]

Today it’s The Chromatics - another Lynch favourite.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Can anyone recall David Seymour, a few years back, making a comment along the lines of emigration being a vote on the economy - anyone got the receipts? #nzpol

Found out why the Wellington Hospital has been so busy at night lately. The only 24hr Afterhours Medical Centre in Wellington is shut due to staff shortages. NZ’s health system is borked! #NZPol

Come the fuck on! #NZPol

Listening to an Au Revoir Simone song makes my think of dearly departed David Lynch.

Honestly, the IPCA report into the police (mis)handling of the McSkimming case makes for jaw-dropping reading. But it’s 135 pages long so I’ve read it for you. Here’s my report on one of the most serious failures of integrity in modern policing history⬇️⬇️

Never forget the collective pearl clutching of the political class when Tamatha Paul dared suggest that some people didn't feel safe around the police. What say you now, Labour, Nats, media commentators, etc? #mcskimming #nzpol #acab #fuckthapolice

Reminds me of how #NZpolice covered up crimes of cops and convicted rapists Schollum and Skipton, and Assistant Police Commissioner Clint Rickards evaded conviction. Louise Nichols never got justice. Rickards got a $300k payoff and OKed to practice as a lawyer. #NZpol www.odt.co.nz/news/nationa...

It’s such a shame that positions of power attract the worst of people - whether it be police, politicians etc. I know they also attract the best of people - but it’s so damn depressing

I love how the Nz police are trying to to pretend the problem is a couple of people. Like those men who were found innocent of assaulting louise nicholas but did jail time for assaulting other women. And the cops who covered it up. It’s a lot of individuals

Crikey. First NZTA designs for retrofitting a busway to the northwestern, including a bus station between the Point Chev shops and the motorway and a dramatic-looking elevated busway to go over(!) St Lukes Rd and the existing eastbound on and off ramps. greaterauckland.substack.com/p/more-progr...

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Strategy : Luxon floats asset sales. Politicians push back including Winston Peters Luxon steps down saying it’s time for fresh blood to lead National Media fawn over fact that National took decision action when public sentiment showed assets sales were wrong path. Maybe?

Good news everybody! ANZ has posted a record $2.53Billion profit, just when we thought everything was dire and no one had any money we find out that ANZ is absolutely coining it!!! #NZPol

Halloween Friday night Collapse Saturday …. Hmmmm

Jesus fucken Christ. I ordered some undercrackers, lads. Nothing came. No despatch email, no delivery confirmation, nothing. So today I check tracking online. Evri "delivered" them to my side garden (just chucked randomly). AND THEN THE FOXES THE FOXES (breathe) ATE MY FUCKEN PANTS

Get in, fellow groovers.

Hmm, so inflation is 3% and Govt is paying a touch under 2.9% interest on its debt. Govt is also getting a fat return on its financial assets... which outweigh its debts by around $70bn. Meanwhile, we can't afford to invest in the country and Treasury are sounding alarm bells!

I really do enjoy Luxury Marmite Sandwich on Instagram. The school lunches one is well worth a watch.

My mum is turning 80 in December. My partner and I just came to the realisation that when we first started going out together, my mum was the same age as I am now. And now I feel old and I also know I’m old 🤣 Plus my eldest is turning 31 on Tuesday 😱

Well said, Susan #NZpol

I can only imagine that certain members of this government are getting large bribes paid into overseas tax havens. Otherwise their decisions make no sense #nzpol

Which one is more English?

Rather telling that NZ Luxon and Upston announce $6 Million towards possible Michelin stars for Kiwi restaurants while respected Lifeline cuts Mental Health services due to $2 Million funding shortfall. Priorities. #nzpol
