Very handy.

I've bought an ice-cream making attachment on sale for my Kitchenaid mixer, because the dairy free ice cream options are not what they were a few years ago. Does anyone have any tried and tested recipes? #kikorangi #nzgardens #aotearoanz

I do most earnestly hope so. But evidence is subservient to pro gun ideology and muffled donation practices.

I can't see why career politicians need a title at all, tbh, until they have done something meaningful after leaving government. Or, of all the disgusting perks, the air travel ones. There is no justifiable reason for a ex thingy-thing to have free travel forever.

Now that, I'd LOVE to see💚 #nzpol

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

‘Violence of any kind is unacceptable ....’ NZ PM Luxon told his post-Cabinet press conference this afternoon Denying children and teens medical care in Aotearoa NZ IS violence! Use of hormones to delay puberty is medical care. Doctors should decide not MPs. #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

26 months. Sickening.

No excuse for it.

“Alongside the many critiques of government policies that we published in 2025, we also ran many pieces about fortitude, accomplishment, and optimism. These are the stories that we’d like to leave you with over the summer. Stories of restoration, resistance, and hope” #nzpol

The column by Danyl McLauchlan in the Listener dated 02 December is a very interesting read. www.nzherald.co.nz/the-listener...

This a a good quote.

Excellent quote.

This Bill could invalidate the votes of enough people to swing the next election in favour of the current government for no reason other than that they failed to fill out the correct piece of paper by the "proper" time (as defined by the people who benefit from the rule change).

Support our trans youth. But even if you somehow don't the middle paragraph here from Te Ohu Rata o Aotearoa (Māori Medical Practitioner's Association) should concern EVERYONE. note the alt text only allowed first two paragraphs rest in next post. If someone knows a better way please share #nzpol

This amazing.

Tāmaki whānau, please go to this protest by Block the Ban against the Government's transphobic ban on puberty blockers for trans youth on Sunday 7th December from 10AM at Myers Park. Everyone, including trans youth, deserves access to healthcare. www.facebook.com/events/11854...

Full support for our Health Workers!

The Reith Lectures are always worth listening to. Last year's were exceptionally good, I thought, but this looks equally interesting.

Love being governed by people with absolutely no principles or overarching theories other than 'Retain power for ourselves and rich get richer'

Come on, media - this should be front page news and it’s absolute crickets out there - why?

Encouraging.

If they can ban access to healthcare like puberty blockers for one group of people, they can do this with any healthcare for their next target. They will ban abortion again given the chance and they will come after contraception after that. The anti-choice movement is our govt right now. #nzpol

Correct.

"they signal institutional racism and something even more corrosive — an erosion of character at the top of government. When those in power stop seeing themselves as trustees and start acting as owners of the country, the checks and balances in our system lose their meaning."

In a crowded field of evil corporates, Elsevier is unethical and antisocial enough to really stand out. Fully support unis across our part of the world refusing to bow to them. Elsevier should be made to eat it at every opportunity. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

"A country is also its culture." Lots of other good points made, especially if you are a librarian, library worker, or a library user.

So when do we decide men can’t be trusted to run the police?

Of course she was charged under the Harmful Digital Communications Act, rather than treating the allegations as serious (and they were serious). This is awful. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

#nzpol On Morning Report today Ingrid said "Should we say green shoots?" in response to a tiny lift in MBIE job ads. Anything that shows a better labour market should be welcomed - but is that really what's going on? The honest answer is not really - job ads are down 30% in 2 years. A🧵

Two doses of the MMR vaccine provide 99% of people with protection against measles. Check if you're fully immunised and if not, book with your usual health provider, or lots of pharmacies can do MMR vaccination. Or book online: bookmyvaccine.health.nz

Can think of few others as deserving as Siouxsie - who helped protect so many lives, & was NZ'er of the Year in 2021 - of our support now. She won legal case on truly awful online harassment/hate but remains 400k+ out of pocket. Absurd. Time to help her move forward www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7PB...

The current wait time at Spark is 2 hours, 50 minutes for a connection problem I contacted them about this morning at around 10:00. And they have history on my account re this. #kikorangi

If the government is deliberately suppressing employment, yes, it does owe them food, and housing, and healthcare and dignity and support, or at the very least the means to obtain them.
