KANGANAUT! 👩‍🚀🦘That is all.

Certain politicians made a point of wandering through to placate the "protesters". When they finally left, the neighbourhood was left to clean it up.

I lived in Molesworth Street during the 2022 occupation. It wasn’t “peaceful”; it was filth and menace. People shat and pissed on our lawns. Emergency workers were blocked from reaching neighbours. The smell lingered for weeks.

Sakaithunder, a 3-year-old panda wearing overalls, is a YouTuber from Fukui Prefecture. If you open the zipper on her back, it leads to the demon world.

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

Just look at these Epsom voters wasting Electoral Commission staff time by doing special votes in Botany. #nzpol www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-...

In case you happen to need a reason to want to be alive today, 711 in Tokyo is now taking reservations to provide a special New Year’s holiday meal for your dog.

Buried in the detail about reducing earthquake strengthening is the removal of requirements for disabled access and fire safety. You know who does that? Sociopaths.

It’s that time of year again. #WestAuckland #Duck #Duckling #Rescue

Luxon can't be bothered going to the UN like real a world leader, but he is at the rugby. #nzpol

Reminder When emailing MPs - be polite. NEVER make threats, of any sort. A template email is easy to be automatically sorted into a folder which will be ignored. Probably. Same goes for cc emails. Email your MP and say ‘I am a constituent’. Postcards (& letters) can be sent free to Parly.

The address to write to is: [insert MP name] Freepost Parliament Private Bag 18 888 Parliament Buildings Wellington 6160

Use “I” statements please Winston. The tens of thousands of NZers who marched, the thousands and thousands more who see this genocide for what it is and who know recognising Palestine is an important symbol of solidarity, your decision does not represent us.

We aren't going to recognise Palestine because Israel has invaded it and so Palestine doesn't control its own territory ...

I have just fired off an email to Luxon. Here's hoping he arrives to email hell on Monday morning. #nzpol

Lovely to see Mike the Juggler, who put smiles on the faces of so many Wellingtonians and tourists, has his own Wikipedia page. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_th...

I have just discovered Auckland Transport's hold music is Ticket to Ride 🙂

Help! Someone reprogram the robot please. #nzpol

Prayers up for Greymouth

This thread is about one of favourite temples in Kyoto.

A couple of people have shared a disgusting post Better Wellington have made about me today. Three things: I will never attack my colleagues or anyone like they do, I am sad that others think it’s ok, and I have no intention of backing down on my work for the city and our people

Time for AT and the Airport to do a marketing campaign about the Bus/Train option, airport/Puhinui Station, is very good, easy to use, reliable, if not super fast www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/uber-driv...

Are there any other Cityhop users in Auckland who've noticed a reduction in the number of cars out there?

This is how I get to the airport too - it works so well.

Looking forward to the self-assembly tiktoks. #nzpol

Love it when one of my joke headlines makes it to the website

Sheesh 😬. Airline keeps its workers and passengers safe, then this? Some frustration is understandable but this is nek level self-importance. 'This close to murder': Passengers stranded at Auckland Airport by winds take to social media www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

2 not entirely unrelated things I've discovered this week. 1. Some countries ban youtube adverts. Setting your VPN to Andorra is fun 2. a meeting of the Waipā District Council Finance & corporate committee has almost 2.7million views as it's become default for ppl pretending to be in a zoom meeting

I felt appalled to see social media images showing trays of cigarettes at Taika Waititi's 50th. So pleased I wasn't sure how to respond because Joel Maxwell's column says it all: www.stuff.co.nz/society/3607...

C&R’s big transport policy this election is to reverse the Dominion Road bus lane time extension. Folks, you could’ve had Light Rail down that road but National’s local govt grouping won’t even let you have bus priority at peak times. 10,000 people bus through there each day!

I'm pretty sure that Luxon doesn't know either Latin or Shakespeare, so this is a bit of a parody account fail. #nzpol

There's an anonymous post on local Facebook pages advertising a "community meeting" about the zone change allowing 15 storey buildings around Western Line train stations. A quick search suggests it's organised by the Character Coalition, just so you know before going along.

It is an absolutely egregious miscarriages of justice that this person has not been named #kikorangi #nzpol

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

I hope there’s an article headlined CHRISES IN CRISIS in the lead up to the election. Just for my entertainment

Thanks everyone who has donated so far. The goal is within reach, I just need another 1,071 people to make an NZ$3 donation For my overseas followers, that's only about US$1.8 or €1.6

If this Prime Ministership was an Air NZ route he would have already scrapped it

LOL. He also thinks the UK should take back Australia & NZ. We're literally in the Commonwealth, you Faragey weirdo who looks like a 12 year old. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The National Government's handling of iRex should be treated as one of New Zealand's greatest political scandals. An impulsive Government got power and immediately made an ideological decision to cancel an existing project, ultimately costing hundreds of millions and creating worse infrastructure!

This is unforgiveable incompetence: NZ has spent $671m to get no ferries, rather than $551m to get new ferries that would be arriving within months to replace clapped-out ferries. This sort of mismanagement should bring down a government; amazingly, it's not even the worst example of their failings

anyone else remember when a NZ politician sent a text to cancel a major procurement and cost the country $600 million? is there any other time in NZ history when an MP would've *got away with that*?

$671m. Gone. Thrown away, by text. By our Finance Minister. $671 million. $140 for every single taxpayer in the country. And yet that Finance Minister is still in office. Any sensible country would have them thrown out of politics for gross incomptence.

UK, Canada, Australia & 26 other countries have signed a joint statement calling for unimpeded humanitarian aid access to #Gaza. NZ has not signed it. This is beyond embarrassing. It’s utterly disgraceful. People are starving. Where is our govt’s moral compass?

Trump takes a kiwi hostage.

Well fuck Just went from 2 days spare work capacity to 5 Anyone domestic or international looking for a Senior Policy (Land Use) Planner who can also do Spatial Planning, Transport Planning, and Urban Design?

"This will be a new creature, not an animal with native roots in New Zealand. This makes it yet another introduced species like the rat or stoat, with unpredictable behavior." An excellent take down of the moa de-extinction nonsense.

Being on the City Rail Link's first passenger train is wasted on a guy who takes a limo to cross the road. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland/...
