Presumably by “organised” they mean “white collar” embezzlement, tax evasion and political interference, right? RIGHT?

There’s an empty car on the tracks at Avondale. Western line down in both directions www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

It's quite hard pretending to be a linear-thought spreadsheet guy when I'm really just a lateral-thought poetry guy.

Bring music

To be clear, our government is a useless cowardly snivelling pack of cretinous rotten shitbags. Pack a cunts. Bag o dicks. Human filth. Scum.

I once edited a book and this guy claimed he was an editor & offered to help out. So I sent him a chapter (which was admittedly *very* messy) and he asked me if I could clean it up and make it readable and then send it to him again so that – get this – he could get on with editing it. Folk = weird.

Fuck! Trying to do a complex fine thing on Auckland Transport and their website just fucked itself FML etc

I feel the local election in Tāmaki Makaurau suffered from a deficit of mayoral candidates and a surplus of local board candidates

Mind blowing. The Luxon Government has confirmed it will rewrite NZ’s once bipartisan climate change law to dilute methane reduction targets and PERMANENTLY exclude dairy from the Emissions Trading Scheme – a move Greenpeace says amounts to full-blown climate denial. #nzpol

2 days left to sign. 2 days until the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 is 50 years old.😡 A law that is now damaging the grandchildren of the people it first damaged. Please sign and share.✌️ #EndProhibition #nzpol

The amount of meaningless scribbled tags on the streets these days is unbelievable

Yep, it's the same old "bash a beneficiary" or "lazy youf" rhetoric to gain a couple of votes. Lazy Luxon chasing 4000 kids to save approx $1.3M year but won't chase Destiny church charitable trust or Gloriavale, with charities estimated to be avoiding $2.0B year in tax avoidance.

This is an easy one folks.

There are two Netanyahus: an English Netanyahu and a Hebrew Netanyahu They’re quite different

Just imagine 18 yo’s coming up with evidence of “estranged from parents”.

This ain’t good

Looks like a good time in the news cycle to tackle three big myths 🧵 ❌ NZ pension costs are an unsustainable burden ❌ Seriously, no, for lots of reasons. 1. Our current Govt spending on pensions is low compared to most other advanced economies. And... [1/n]

I just read a Lynda La Plant book and it was really very disappointing. I was hoping for tension and psychology but it was all just The Bill with ghastly knife attacks on sex workers and plot holes the size of South London.

Maybe we shouldn’t recognise Israel as a viable state Maybe we shouldn’t reconcile the USA as a viable state

Meanwhile, back at the Aotearoa desk at the UNGA Alt

Ultimatums were presented. There were threats of break up and also of self imposed homelessness. It was really intense. It’s quite an honour to be exposed to that level of detail in someone’s life

More questions than answers What kind of return did this asset ever make on its ratepayers investment (incl things like promoting NZ)? How will private ownership impact its performance? What does it mean for local film makers? www.nzherald.co.nz/business/med...

I was lucky to see this show last night. What Happened to Mary-Ann? Please make it along if you can, tonight and tomorrow only at mighty Te Pou theatre Henderson. So good! Contains gender fluidity, singalong bangers, and a LOT of heart. www.facebook.com/share/1BRpVv...

What happens if a local government candidate gets elected to both a local board and to council? #nzpol

I don’t get it. Does this generate tourism? No artist will play here without an Australian date or three. How much of each show’s budget is sent offshore in chunky artist fees?

Reading dudes here talking about rugby is weirdly fascinating. Such gravitas & insight, so erudite, so arcane. It’s almost enough to make me care.

Even if you don't vote for your council (pls do but), tick that box for the referendum. It is BINDING for three terms - so if it fails, no Māori ward for nearly a decade. And EVERYONE votes, not just Māori. Tāngata Tiriti step up, Pākehā mā, you need to vote.
