Brooke’s greatest hits on working kiwis that will result in early deaths, disability, & poverty had Seymour describing her political career “as near to perfect as humanly possible” Thanks Emily Writes for laying out that “perfection” for everyone to see. There is nothing to be proud of BvV.

If any of these pieces resonated with you, please share them - sharing my work is by far the best way to support me without taking out a paid subscription. Thanks so much!

Super shocked by this scoop - the NZ police won't tell us whether or not the CSAM and non-consensual deepfake content generated on Grok might be illegal, or even provide advice on what to do if you (or your child!) is a target. Story here:

What the hell is going on between the Coalition Government and the Public Service Commission?
It's not normal for public servants and the Government to collude against unions like this.
