Efeso Collins, passed away on 21st February 2024.
We’re still noticing your absence, Efeso. Very very much. ❤️ #nzpol
So, NZ sent a warship into the 130 km wide Taiwan Straits a few months ago without consulting China.
... but now has kittens because China has repayed the visit by dropping into the north of the 2,250 km wide Tasman Sea without consultation.
The @NewstalkZB audience is foul. Matched by its principals.
Some of the grossest, most ignorant people on earth.
ZB featured Ardern promoting a book. The commentary it engendered is disgraceful. Does ZB moderate that. Of course not. It invites it.
Haere rā Tari.
My boss, my mentor, my guide, my friend.
A great life.
Tears.
"Nurses were also alarmed at plans to pause a digital staffing system used in hospitals to indicate how many full-time staff were needed on duty at any given time, the union said."
Oh, and avoid being ill on 3 December.

Best my phone can achieve but go hikoi! Make this government hear you.
The fog of war.

Cutting funding for for foodbanks to pay for tax cuts to landlord. This Sherriff of Nottingham government must be stopped!
'The government recently told [foodbank operator] BBM it would have to wait for the new financial year if it wanted funding.' 🇳🇿

- somehow we have a govt who, in spite, of all the evidence, is choosing "boot camps" for young troubled people-
For those who cannot / don't wish to access this article on Forbes, I've added it to my site (where it is completely free to read) www.lauriewinkless.com/journal/how-... #nzpol
The heaviest vehicle allowed on (some of) Aotearoa New Zealand's roads is the 50MAX truck. A single 50MAX truck applies as much stress to a road as ~1,582 cars (or quite literally billions of bicycles) www.forbes.com/sites/laurie...
Want to know the best way to prevent potholes? Reduce the number of enormous, heavy trucks using those roads, by shifting as much freight as possible to rail. Is that what Brown and his cronies are proposing? F*CK no. #nzpol

Two bows.
Since we're doing throwbacks, here's that research on how austerity policies deepen inequality, which "can significantly lower both the level and the durability of growth" from that bastion of leftist cant, the IMF which I think stands for the International Marxist Front. www.imf.org/external/pub...

There was a deaf woman who had no idea what he was saying as there was no NZSL interpreter.
