Hey NZ! This is how you break up a supermarket duopoly.

Admin of ‘Bad Tenants’ Facebook group hit with legal bill for ignoring privacy request A former tenant who feared he had been blacklisted by landlords was blocked from a Facebook group and ignored for years after asking to see the personal information held about him.

NZ Human Rights Review Tribunal has ordered Wayne Wilson, admin of Bad Tenants, NZ (Landlords Only) Facebook group, to pay $7500 for a “total failure” to respond to a privacy request. HRRT says social media groups should be treated the same as other agencies.

thanks for this! Does this mean one or more of the other benefits has much higher numbers than expected, given the overall numbers aren't following the Dec 25 forecast? (if I've read the graphs correctly after only one cup of coffee)

Like why are any of us staying in NZ

Laughing so hard.

Have to believe Sleaford Mods provided some kind of inspiration for this.

I genuinely thought The Civilian had returned, it was an actual lol. Great headline work

Three images of elaborately embroidered book covers with floral patterns and other busy and neat details

Embroidered book covers, fashionable in the 16th and 17th century, the art of embroidering unique covers for books saw a comeback in late 19th-century England, via the Arts and Crafts movement.#womensart #WomensArt

someone in our house is living this dream rn... OE plans will keep getting forever delayed due to "fuel crisis" etc

Blair not present (apologies given).

A small step towards a bigger one - now we have voted to get the advice next step is to receive the advice and take action on it - which may mean supporting change to ensure not using businesses involved w illegal settlements, or confirm we won't. Timing tbc.

sort of hard to convey the sheer joy, scale and absurdity of it but Budapest's streets are currently so full, past midnight on a Sunday, that it feels like I'm personally walking back to my room, accompanied by my eight to twelve thousand best friends

Who controls the Tom Phillips story? With the family opposed and the Marokopa community silent, police are set to hold a remarkable amount of sway over a Netflix documentary about their own conduct.

Like sorry but it’s not some cops-and-robbers, Man Alone adventure yarn about the bush. It’s about our systemic failure to appropriately respond to family violence and the risk to children

thespinoff.co.nz/the-bulletin...

The Tom Phillips doco is flawed journalism for many reasons but everyone keeps failing to mention the main issue: the permanent suppressions mean we will never be able to tell the full, actual story (particularly about the involvement of the Family Court) and therefore what’s the point?

excellent, go Donna!

hahahaha walked past the Dog With Two Tails Party rally which screened Orban's speech and everyone stood there giving the finger to the big screen

walking from my election party to the Tisza rally and we heard crowds cheering in the distance as Orban officially conceded 🥰

went to check out the techno rave outside Parliament and I don't think I have the data allowance to share a video from it but let me tell you: there sure is a techno rave outside Parliament right now, celebrating Orban getting ousted
