Sir Geoffrey Palmer and Chris Finlayson offer praise for the Waitangi Tribunal – and damning criticism of the coalition Government. Sam Sachdeva reports.

I remember when asset sales were gonna lead to mum and dad shareholders and now we just have mum and dad paying $500 power bills in the winter. The right wing ideology is a scam. It’s a pyramid scheme. It’s useless. It improves nothing.

For heck sake, just give every one a C- grade and go fishing

I have never wanted a shotgun filled with buckshot more than driving past those racist fuckers signs out in the country.

The govt doesn’t care about management of public funds at all. They don’t care about blowing $600m or $27000. It’s all the same to them. As long as their mates get the money and they get the donations and keep winning elections.

I dosey doed with Nicola Walker in a chemist shop door in Highgate just after her breakout in Spooks. She was polite.

I fucking love this quote. If someone is not taking responsibility then you should (if possible) leave the situation. This is what 127,800 people did last year as a response to this government’s irresponsibility! #nzpol

@publicaddress.bsky.social Russell so sorry to hear this. I knew Fiona from Burnside High so long ago. My partner (same age) died after going into hospice after cancer treatment so gave much sympathy for you. Liz

Is Starmer playing to the far right? The PM's incendiary language intentionally or otherwise has evoked the ghost of Enoch Powell. Listen to @Mrnishkumar.bsky.social & @cocobyname.bsky.social tomorrow on Pod Save the UK #PodSaveTheUK #Politics #UKPolitics #CurrentAffairs #Trending #Starmer

Keir Starmer is racist.

The good people behind the flu tracker study are searching for new participants, particularly young ones. It takes about two minutes once a week to tell them whether you've had the snuffles or COVID or anything in between. Easy as, plus you're helping SCIENCE. www.flutracking.net/Join/NZ/inv2...

That fucking little wuss. Starmer goes full weasel. www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/3...

VE Day falls on my birthday so I always (*seldom) get rat faced. My dad who served in actual war hated everything to do with celebrating it.

The great Alison Bechdel "Dykes to Watch Out For" 1995. Ciswomen are also hurt by strict definitions of what a woman is/looks like. Bechdel knew this then.

Dear @podsavetheuk.crooked.com and @podsaveamerica.crooked.com Donald may have crashed the world economy in record time. But how does that compare to our beloved Liz Truss who got fired for crashing the UK economy in 49 days. And where is Lettuce equivalent? Yours sincerely an interested onlooker

So Simeon Brown has been fired as Minister of Transport? Why is this not the #hottake?
