Good. Goldsmith is a straight-up white supremacist who needs to go

The basic install is pretty easy, but use Claude or ChatGPT to help, and to get things configured and installed how you like once the basic install is done. That’s something they’re super good at and very useful for. They’ll write all the bash scripts you‘ll ever need for you.

#NZPol We should absolutely be doing this too.

Bill giving police new powers needs stricter limits, Privacy Commissioner says Michael Webster said says the bill's impacts on privacy seem to have largely passed most New Zealanders by.

The Government is quietly legalising the mass photographing of rangatahi Māori by police. Submissions on this Bill close at 2pm on Wednesday 22nd April. www.rnz.co.nz/news/crime-a...

Science-folks: If we run 100 experiments, we might find 1 or 2 of them may have results that can make many dollars.

NZ Govt: Excellent. We will fund those 1 or 2 experiments.

Holy shit you’re a dumb fucker. All these replies and you still haven’t taken a second to read even one minute about the person you think you’re talking to. The most American arrogance; confidently completely wrong and doubling down on it.

“Funding for resilience needs to not be a 'marketing exercise': Luxon”

When our 6pm news (largely watched by older viewers) fails to point out what this govt has done to plunge us into a far worse situation re; climate resilience/adaptation, it is a total failure of the 4th estate. Imho. #nzpol

Luxon read a short statement and walked off refusing to take any questions He says if media continue to ask him about speculation, he will not engage.

Bitch please

Again, imagine Greens co-leders Chlöe Swarbrick & Marama Davidson or any other woman on the left putting this kind of pout-and-flounce then the Press Pack NOT throwing it in their faces at every opportunity until the heat death of the universe.

You can't?

Sit with that for a minute.

"Winston says it was a 'very bad move' by Luxon to call confidence vote, suggests it won't be the last" ah Winston the headline hog strikes again #nzpol

A PM from the corporate sphere
Said "I have my caucus right here"
But the polls said sixteen
The worst ever seen
And his whip couldn't get him to hear
#nzpol

Luxon surviving a confidence vote is less about his fitness for the job and more about the unfitness of his caucus, who lack even the minimal amount of spine needed to roll the most inept PM we’ve seen in my lifetime.

Luxon’s attempt to refocus the media is constitutionally misplaced. Confidence is the lifeblood of government. And the media have a legitimate interest in interrogating changing dynamics in confidence.

Embattled New Zealand prime minister survives leadership vote and blames media for ‘soap opera’ Christopher Luxon says caucus meeting ‘clearly’ proves he has party support ahead of November national election

Paul Goldsmith, asked whether he accepts that te Tiriti is Aotearoa's founding document, says he accepts that it was the document that was signed at its founding. A careful pseudo-acceptance that is actually a refusal #racist

Missed: Barbara Kuriger: tied up with an SFO investigation and an animal abuse case and persistently abused MPI staff due to family involvement in the abuse case

5 National Party MPs now being painted as "disgruntled" staffers:

- Barbara Kuriger, Deputy Speaker
- Sam Uffindell, once attacked a kid
- Andrew Bayly, called Kiwi worker a loser
- Joseph Mooney, called for deportation of Kiwi citizen
- Tim van de Molen, threatened Labour's MP

Stand by it.

On election night and the following month, I said on The Guardian that the electorate did not vote for what this govt was going to do and National’s/Luxon’s polling shows I was right.

Chris, you shall be visited by three spirits. The first spirit is the ghost of caucus past.

I see Shane Jones appears on far-right network that regularly platforms, & promotes Christchurch terrorist's violent extremist ideology (rebranded as 'remigration'), & amplifies the same anti-Indian racism, & xenophobia through his "butter chicken tsunami" framing. Dangerous, & disgusting. #nzpol

'Volatile': Severe weather events lead to big leap in insurance claims A record number of storms battered the country over the past year.
