Fonterra caused the nitrate emergency in Canterbury by pushing too many cows. And now @Fonterra’s Govt is weakening freshwater rules to force even more cows, forcing Cantabrians to drink more of their sh$t. www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3608...
#NZPol The ones that do feel discriminated against should probably go straight on a list for targeted interventions.

Andrew Hoggard (ACT) is proposing to increase the amount of the likely cancer-causing herbicide allowed on food by 100-fold. #nzpol
Death cult.
National keep boasting about record rural confidence. That's because National are allowing farmers to increase cancer linked glysophate in food by 100x, making it legal for farmers to dump toxins into freshwater & ignore climate responsibility. Farmers are cool but not at the expense of all #nzpol

Catch up on Charlie kirk
What the fuck, my 7th form art history we studied Miriam Shapiro, Barbara Krueger, the fauvists, Matisse, baseline formative shit! I went to the Guggenheim after being invited to play at an art gallery in Philadelphia and I cried when I saw Yellow Cow. Now I work in museums. honestly what the fuck
Plaster the earth with the words of Charlie Kirk. He deserves no less.
It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses
We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.
Benjamin Doyle still a target On Friday, Green MP Benjamin Doyle resigned from parliament amid "an onslaught of hate, vitriol and threats of real-world violence" following bussygate, a scandal ignited and flamed by Peters himself. Police last week confirmed they had investigated 10 reports of threats against Doyle, some of which were ongoing. Peters took the opportunity to continue to fan the flames of conspiracy. When asked by The Spinoff how he felt about Wellington mayor Tory Whanau suggesting his actions led to the threats and ultimately Doyle's resignation, Peters was not happy. "Only a mind like yours - ill-trained, ill-educated and not experienced enough - would come up with that allegation", he said. Just another ordinary Sunday for Winston Peters.
Good, I’ve irritated Matua Peters.

Spencer Kuvin, Epstein's victims' lawyer, says the FBI interviewed 40+ girls, some just 14, and prepared a 54-count indictment. Then came the secret plea deal that let Epstein walk. Those interviews are in the files. Kuvin says Alan Dershowitz scoured the girls' MySpace pages to smear them as liars.

The #kakapo population has dropped to 238. Adult female Lisa was found dead on Anchor Island recently, and two of the 2019 cohort, Tūmanako and Whakakini, have not been since since then and so have been removed from the official count. #conservation #parrots #birds
This will never not be funny. You don’t have to love Gavin Newsom, but he is the ONLY one standing up to fascism with something other than a sternly worded letter. Democrats need to get on board now. What he’s doing is working.
Oh my God
Spineless!? Fucking REALLY!? At this point, she should've just called them cunts.
If Chlöe does apologize, I hope it's with a pair of crutches.

Still zero coverage or recognition of this by NZ's mainstream journalists across 2 years of targeted murders

I do not think this government campaigned on "being a suckup vassal country to an authoritarian child rapist" and I think if they did they would have had fewer votes #nzpol
Beehive press release, clip of first few sentences: "Ministers welcome new FBI office in Wellington The FBI’s upgrade of its Wellington office demonstrates the strength of the Five Eyes partnership and enhances the safety and security of New Zealanders, the Minister Responsible for the GCSB and NZSIS Judith Collins and Police Minister Mark Mitchell say. The Ministers met with FBI Director Kash Patel, who officially opened the new Wellington office at the US Embassy earlier today and installed a permanent Legat position."
I think this is probably the kind of thing that needs more public buy-in, eh? Especially in the current climate. An office upgrade and a permanent position?? Wtf are the FBI even doing here in the first place?
This is institutionalised foreign interference.
Incidentally, how does Te Tiriti fit with this? How does our unique individualism as a nation fit with this? How does our independence full stop, fit with this? 🤷♀️ #NZpolitics #Aotearoa #nzpol #ToitūTeTiriti #WhoAreWeBecoming
Arguably, worst govt in NZ history and we're on about Chloe Swarbrick's rage? Today, they celebrate right wing extremist Kash Patel coming to New Zealand to open a new FBI office with a barely concealed anti-China agenda. More rage, less cynicism please #nzpol thespinoff.co.nz/politics/31-...
