I'm of the age where we only got 1 dose of measles vaccine at school. Last outbreak we had I went and got much delayed booster. Do consider doing the same if you only had one shot as kid. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

Two more cases of #measles today. We urge vigilance over long weekend. Stay home if unwell, check locations of interest, call Healthline if symptomatic. tewhatuora.govt.nz/corporate-information/news-and-updates/measles-cases-and-exposures-continue-to-escalate

🩺 Travelling overseas? Measles risk is up in many countries & NZ. Check your MMR vaccination status before you go— it is free for many New Zealanders. Measles is highly contagious & can cause serious illness. Protect yourself & others: get vaccinated before you travel.

We have confirmed two new #measles cases in NZ today, with a Cook Strait ferry among listed exposure locations. Check your immunisation status (you need 2 doses of MMR). Book a vaccine: bookmyvaccine.nz Full details and exposure locations: tewhatuora.govt.nz/corporate-in...

Gaza journalist Anas Fteiha took German media giant Axel Springer to court for smearing him as a Hamas propagandist.

New from me: Just eight of the Government's 17 Roads of National Significance have already seen costs blow out by $5.1 billion - before any shovels are even in the ground. The full programme would cost $44-$54 billion on the latest numbers. newsroom.co.nz/2025/10/23/5...

#NZ #kikorangi 🇳🇿 'Strong likelihood' measles spreading in the community, officials warn “"Three of these cases are not linked to overseas travel which means there is a very strong likelihood of undetected cases in the community," Sime said.” www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Grifters gotta fucking well grift! Sorry NZ educators, this is where your stolen money is going #nzpol

To compete in our attention-driven online spaces, science communicators should adopt networked coordination and emotional storytelling tactics to amplify accurate science information.

Good grief, here we go again. The myths about pensions are so baked in the media refuses to think outside it. #nzpol

If NZ had meaningful working class people representation there would be discussions about how much the pension should be increased by, not the public being conditioned into accepting the lie that the age of eligibility needs to increase or means testing of all evils must be accepted.

For years, there's been a massive over-emphasis on food miles, and a massive under-emphasis on food type. By far and away the best dietary decision you can make, for environmental, humanitarian and public health purposes, is to cut out animal products.

This applies to nz as well

it’s honestly astounding that the right has destroyed all sense of shame

I really think our species’ entire future hinges on whether these mass murderers are allowed to rejoin society and prosper or are rejected, ostracized, and brought to justice. Gaza isn’t in a vacuum. What we allow, or punish, there will bleed through to stain the entire world.

You’re never too old to make worse friends than Slater

No money for teachers. No money for nurses. No money for doctors. No money for firefighters. But $3 billion for roads roads roads roads roads roads roads roads roads. Priorities are fucked bro…They have no shame. #nzpol wellington.scoop.co.nz?p=175029

⭕️Israel claims that the wide-scale demolition of homes across Gaza is consistent with the ceasefire agreement, labeling civilian houses as “terrorist infrastructure.” An IDF spokesperson said today: “On Sunday around 2:30 p.m. Israel time, the IDF announced terrorists fired an anti-tank missile...

Us-east-1. So… most of the internet.

Half the internet seems to be down thanks to the us-aws-east-1 outage Perplexity, Amazon .com, Signal all down (just 3 services I tried to use) When aws-us-east-1 sneezes, the whole world feels it indeed

About half of the Wikipedia entry for Badminton New Zealand is dedicated to this:

To no one’s surprise the genocidal ethnosupremist apartheid settler colony with a history of lying can’t be trusted to keep its side of the bargain

Six killed as Israel bombs tent sheltering displaced people in Nuseirat refugee camp - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/six-killed-israel-bombs-tent-sheltering-displaced-people-nuseirat

Israel doing what they do best. Breaking a ceasefire they would never keep and murdering Palestinians. A throughly dishonest and murderous state.

You're absolutely right — starting a land war in Asia wasn't just a bad call, it's 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀. Thank you for calling me out on that — really. I'll be extra-strategic from now on. Would you like me to get cracking on those 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿?

The Zionists have gone back on their word including but not limited to not reopening the Rafah crossing along the border of Egypt, a key avenue for the delivery of aid. theintercept.com/2025/10/15/i...

but importantly there is no party in NZ in 2025 that truly represents the working class. they are run by the professional middle classes for the professional middle classes.

you cannot maintain a pan-māori party in a capitalist society: the interests of working class māori will always diverge from the upwardly mobile bureaucrats who run the party and make up its elected officials. TPM, like all of its predecessors, will always fail

Anti-vaccine sentiment and COVID denialism have become solid recruitment tools for fascists in the U.S. It helped radicalize people and arguably contributed to Donald Trump’s reelection. For years, there has been an anti-vax effort to expand abroad—to put similar far-right ideologues in power.

Mahmoud was in hospital when the IDF took him hostage. Whilst in detention they beat him and tortured him so badly he lost his eyesight.

Israel has done this before. In Sept Israel dumped 80 decomposed bodies in Gaza. As Mustafa Barghouti asked at the time "imagine these bodies, without names decomposing in a truck, were bodies of Jewish or Israeli or American people, what would've been the reaction of the world?"

Come on FENZ get Fire(fighter) wise!! Support your local firefighters on strike this Friday! Sticking for safer working conditions and fair pay! Talk more over at my substack: yeehawtheboys.substack.com/p/come-on-gu...

Right to protest under ‘sustained attack’ across the west, report finds

Liberals will need to choose between their ideological commitments to property rights and life itself

LMAO! “Kidnapped”

Israel is currently not allowed to murder journalists with bombs so it seems the gangs they armed to rob aid convoys are taking care of this too. Much like how five car bombs just happened to go off in Tehran on June 15th during the 12 Day War.

<US Secretary of state Marco Rubio had nominated Machado for the prize in August last year> mickhall.substack.com/p/nobel-priz...

As Nicky Hager details here, NZ is worryingly far more involved in planning with the US and UK for military attacks against China than previously revealed. AoNZ should not be part of this! #nzpol newsroom.co.nz/2025/10/09/s...

"Machado has voiced support for U.S. sanctions against Venezuela and other efforts to topple the government; she aims to privatize the country’s state oil industry and has praised right-wing Latin American leaders, including Argentina’s Javier Milei and El Salvador’s Nayib Bukele."

This all just feels a bit too on the nose. Nobel Peace Prize given to a fascist-adjacent supporter of Israel, from a country the U.S. is trying to destabilise/coup for oil.
