Coincidentally also the title of my new Cosy Crime novel.

The opposition party IS working hard. Except it's not Labour any more is it? Vote Green if you value people and planet over profit 💚 ✅️✅️

“We would expect more cases”, @drtedros.who.int says in response to a question. There was a lot of interaction on the ship after the index case fell ill April 6. “Until the report was confirmed as infectious that’s around April 24 or 25 there was a lot of interaction actually with the passengers.

It took 7 years but we have managed to publish an article in the physiotherapy frontline magazine "Do no harm". Thank you to the @thecsp for publishing. Over 65,000 UK physios will see this important message about #pwme @physiosforme.bsky.social

SEIZE JOY FROM THE JAWS OF PAIN. DO YOU NEED TO CLEAN YOUR GLASSES?

Yeah, you'd feel that

"international students help fund locals' education" is not the save you wanna say out loud.

Latest Waitangi Tribunal #ManaWahine Kaupapa Inquiry hearings are being held in Wgtn this week. Last week they were on Te Tai Tokerau marae. On Thursday, Tamatha Paul @greens.org.nz will give evidence. She posted this tonite. I think it's incredibly important for everyone to read.

"The problem is private equity" No, its capitalism. "The problem is right-wing think tanks and lobbyists" No, its capitalism. "The problem is techno-feudalism" No, its capitalism. "The problem is the collapse of the rules-based order" No, its capitalism. Its the root cause. Not the symptoms!

We continue to permit and support this industry, which creates a handful of jobs (most of them low paid clerical jobs), but puts the integrity of our entire system at risk.

#NZPol #AoNZ You might have seen some misleading headlines today. So a reporter ran with comments that were not Oriini Kaipara’s, without speaking to Oriini Kaipara. Accuracy matters. Dropping this here whānau to clear the matter up, ⬇️⬇️⬇️

My cartoon on today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3610... A lot of people are feeling despondent & rightfully angry. The opposition needs to get its shit together as many don't believe they're doing anything to push back on the destruction of our motu. #NzPol #Cartoon #WheresWally

I do expect the nation under whose passport I'm travelling to care about my wellbeing at least to the level of keeping me out of a concentration camp. Perhaps I'm hopelessly naive. #nzpol

I am not a stupid man, but I am struggling to make sense of how a "self-managed but compulsory" system would work. You expect to have a (hypothetical) 50L limit at BP, and a 50L limit at Z, what the fuck is stopping people going to more than one station? Braindead govt policy. #nzpol

Tax the rich

OH MY CHRIST look at the new scale I've had to make... net debt Sept pre-covid was roughly $60B is now $188 billion

So, plan is do nothing levels 1-3, full on rationing at L4. And tertiary education is in the 3rd priority band but education is in the critical top band. What legal instrument is going to allow for enforcing this rationing plan? Covid made it clear legislation was needed. At least regulations!

Media please note that “Consular officials are in regular contact with the individual and their family” is a blatant lie because it was reported today that no one can locate the individual. This is a NZ citizen who has been kidnapped by the US - it’s untenable. Media must get much louder. #nzpol

When John Key sold 1000 state homes, it made headlines & sparked debate Now Chris Bishop has cancelled 3500 builds & selling 900 #houses in what's been called a private developers' lolly scramble, it's hardly making a splash How #NZ has changed #nzpol #homeless #poor newsroom.co.nz/2025/04/01/g...

eVidEncEd bAseD poLicY These fucking arseholes are making a mockery of the select committee process If the submissions don't make any difference, nobody will bother. And that's what they want #nzpol

Pass it on. #nzpol

Those voting in favour were: Catherine Wedd (National Party, Tukituki) Grant McCallum (National Party, Northland) Ryan Hamilton (National Party, Hamilton East) Cameron Luxton (ACT Party, List) David MacLeod (National Party, New Plymouth) #nzpol

The committee's report is here. It also contains the dissenting view of the Labour and the Green members of the committee. selectcommittees.parliament.nz/view/SelectC...

Really feeling this at the moment. Budget and election campaigns are going to be a relentless river of shit

#nzpol, we must make sure this government gets a proper hiding for all the 'american' things they have been doing to our country

But, hear me out, what if those 5 submissions were oral submissions at a $10,000 per table fundraising dinner, and the 583 where just written submissions from the plebs?

NZ Labour, please take note #nzpol

#NZpol Nobody should *have* to be reminded, but the happiness he clearly shows knocking about with Farage should flag to EVERYONE that Winston has *no intention* of fulfilling his lavish promises, and he's certainly not some Messiah we "need". Voters, reject this f'n BS once and for all in Nov!!

Fees free tertiary education NZ to be scrapped (just one year of the degree is free). We would rather burden 618,798 people owing a total of $16.19 billion in student loan debt in New Zealand than tax the 18 billionaires in NZ. A deeply unserious nation. www.odt.co.nz/star-news/st...

A gritty new reboot for the classic Enid Blyton books starts with Five Get Mixed Up With Phil And Grant Mitchell.

Am at the ER with my Mum for the second time in a month and the level of care both times, in a clearly under pressure environment has been so heartening to experience - and it makes me so angry how undervalued and eroded public health is. We need this system - and it needs our backing in elections.

I wonder how hard would it be to add capacity for real-time, on-board wastewater monitoring on cruise ships. Cruise ships have morgues. Why not a basic sequencing set-up? Too expensive? 🙄

Wtf?! Less kids will go straight to tertiary after school. Unless they come from rich families. Please dont let them also start putting interest back on the loans. Back to the 90s. Is this back on track? Interest currently wiped annually if you're living in nz #nzpol

So far the CoC have: Changed the school curriculum Defunded night schools Introduced shite school dinners Destroyed the apprentice scheme Demerged the Polytechnics Changed and now removed fees free university education Cancelled multiple research funding systems Screwed up ECE For what?

Any tips are so greatly appreciated. 🙏💗🫶🏼 #Kikorangi #nzpol #Aotearoa #ChronicPain #CrossStitch #Embroidery #EhlersDanlosSyndrome

I'm trying to avoid using afterpay again
