I think it was a political hit job on her

A guy wanted to adopt a cat, but he wouldn't leave his brother's side, so he had to take both of them. Original post

What are New Zealand values and how are they any different from any other country? I agree with the experts cited here, this is a solution looking for a problem. Why are they being asked to pass a test that a significant number of kiwis couldn't pass? It's ridiculous share.google/s3qCqVKdxTdo...

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Now I've seen it all

Since he asked. I think he's delusional and making a lot of wishful thinking assumptions.

With the thriving population of humpback whales I expect they'll be wanting to keep a track of their progress. That includes their health issues like weight. I guess we'll see an increase in the number of whale weigh stations

I'm loving it. Resistance is not futile

BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution

Love it. Keir Starmalade. The ridiculous things some papers in Britain, like the Daily Fail come up with. Most already call their marmalade orange marmalade anyway and only a few would have to change the name. The ones that don't have to are the ones that export to the EU. youtu.be/YxClzq_vPAg?...

EV subsidies were making a difference. She talks about millionaires getting subsidies, but then so was everyone else. The millionaires can still afford EVs but those others are now making a choice between a environmentally friendly car vs a cheaper petrol car #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

Trump wants a say in who the next Iranian leader is. I think I should have a day in who should be the next president of the USA and I select King Charles. Now wait for the reactions of the American people who thought they'd escaped the British empire 😜

Reform are the most ungracious political losers I've come across in a while. In Britain anyway.

I'll only say this once. I'm not interested in Mr Peters stupid culture wars #nzpol

If the automatic British citizen has never applied for a British passport, how do the British authorities know they are a dual citizen when they use the ETA? What's stopping a dual citizen who has never applied for a British passport from using the ETA system? share.google/dAKJwJ8EJyGK...

Ah so election day in Aotearoa New Zealand is Nov 7. Forgive me if I'm underwhelmed by that. I just hope the, IMO, voter suppression law they passed, meaning you have to be registered 13 days before the election, don't work and the coalition of chaos govt gets voted out. #nzpol

“Miss, do you agree with the sign?” “Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥 #ForcedBirthNation

This is like Brexit where you have to read overseas articles for a more balanced and truthful view. I don't think the gang patch ban is going to make that much difference to crime rates. You need more than correlation to prove that it does #nzpol share.google/PNaN4O7cTpeF...

I agree, but I think that's just the headline. I think the deal will pass with at least Labour support. I think the objection from Peters is the usual xenophobia. I have no problem with the extra visas for Indians and I for one welcome the possibility of more proper Indian chefs.

I'm on my way to a Chanukah event. It should be a celebration but instead our community is once again mourning. I will be thinking of everyone in Australia and those around the world in the Jewish Community who know this fear and loss. We stand with you.

Australian news reporting that the hero bystander here is named Ahmed al Ahmed. Muslim, father of two.

That's how it's done 🔥

7News Australia reports that the hero who jumped and disarmed one of the terrorist shooters His name is Ahmed el-Ahmed A 43 year old married father of two He owns a fruit shop in Sutherland No experience with guns He was walking past He has two bullets in his arm

Apt description for Shane Jones. If he was serious about his cause he'd attack the argument and not the person. The fact he has just shows he has no argument just rhetoric. A ‘bully and hypocrite’: Sam Neill fires back over controversial gold mine | The Post share.google/OzsVdygVWYL0... #nzpol

#HIGNFY mock Liz Truss's new YouTube show Ian Hislop, "She's got a new channel" Martin Clunes, "She's opening up new talk markets" Phil Wang, "Martin, that joke is a disgrace" Liz Truss, "Welcome to the home of the counter revolution, welcome to the Liz Truss show" *uncontrolled laughter*

Goodbye US tourism

🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years” Hugely important point made by @vicderbyshire.bsky.social 👏

I really hope things get better, as the USA is a basket case when it comes to upholding its own laws under the Trump administration.

As a British citizen, I am very disappointed in my country. Labour, stop trying to out Reform Reform. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Good. I wasn't looking forward to an increase in the superannuation age. Though I think I wouldn't be affected if they did. It'd be the younger generation that would have to wait longer. I remember when it was still 60, when my father retired. Source: budgetcomputer.co.nz search.app/jY9h3 #nzpol

They're not even terrorists or enemy combatants (not that, that would be a reason to do this either). They're just immigrants and refugees that made the mistake of moving to the USA. Theres just no reason for this. It achieves nothing except cruelty for the sake of it. Perhaps that is the point.

I think the Greens will be thanking Starmer for the free publicity. Yes please UK Labour, do more statements like this
