âThe Waitakere Ranges are precious. They provide Auckland with fresh air and clean water. They provide us with serenity & artistic inspiration. They have been described as âthe lungs of Tamaki Makaurauâ and Te Wao Nui o Tiriwa is a very effective sequesterer of carbon.â

The Government has no credibility talking about the âinternational rules based orderâ. It criticises Iran at every turn but says nothing about the US-Israel illegal war of aggression.

Casar: "Trump said oil prices going up would be 'small price to pay.' Well, everything for him is small price to pay bc he never pays it. It's not his budget getting stretched thin. It's not his kids getting shipped off to war. They're too busy cashing in on business deals w/Middle Eastern despots"

I think the AI angle of this is obscurant. It doesnât matter that grok is âan AIâ whatever you take that to mean. Suppose X hired a team of guys to photoshop the clothes off of women and children whenever anyone asks. Thatâs functionally identical what happening here. Itâs not complicated.

Disaster!!! National and ACT will cry should our tax system actually face the wealthy to pay the same rate of tax working folk have to stump up. But it's a lie - like all of their lies. Let's look at Maine to see what happened (despite the same hysteria)

Tax flight is a myth - MECEP

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't â and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Imagine this scenario. I met a lady who wants her 8 year-old boy to really enjoy his creative writing classes. I suggested she get him into a role playing game BUT pref not D&D because sheâd have to DM and sheâd never heard of it(?!?). Does anyone have a child friendly RPG suggestion for a busy mum?

If you keep voting for politicians who want to cut public services and roll back human rights, eventually you end up desperate but powerless because if you so much as squeak in protest the government is free to do what it wants to you.

First off, a glaring typo. Was meant to say "we can go into coalition negotiations with great policy from 3 parties". I think perhaps in the darkness of where we are now we can lose sight of our potential. Our sole goal needs to unite to expel the monster, not nit pick over momentary things.

Uber extracted $402m in revenue from NZ in 2024 but paid less than $1m in tax. Unfair global tax rules allow corporations to profit at our expense. Fair tax policies could help us tackle growing inequality, curb rising living costs, protect nature, and fund climate action.

Been lucky enough to visit Borneo, see incredible wildlife and meet a lovely couple who shared their photos. Our guide Saiben was a legend and could mimic any bird. Hats off to him as well as Utan Rainorest Lodge - but with only 17% of original forest left, Eco-Tourism may be the only answer.

Appeasing cookers with politics is like trying to calm a crying baby by taking it to the Louvre. The baby won't appreciate it. The patrons won't appreciate it. And now the fucking Mona Lisa is covered in mashed potato.

There a many, many joys about living (mainly) in the Far North. A new one is my daily visit from a piwakawaka who flies into my place, picks out some tasty insect kai, and then flutters out with a chirp of thanks.
