Your fav salad ? Preferably simpler ingredients due to budget constraints. Just bored with the same old.

What Lester Levy did, and why, in a nutshell.
WHAT: He moved a approx $200m from this year's Health accounts to last year's.
WHY: to make this yr's numbers look better than they really are, and last year's worse.
WHY?? So his performance this yr vs last yr would look $400m better than it really was.

Nice work buying influence Musk, he hated Trump until he saw an opportunity with a feeble minded wanker who just loves to have his ego stroked.

I did try change the colour of the second purple one near the triffid, but sadly it didn't appear to work.

The old school cutting grown one from a friend who has since passed away is a triffid. The mini red one was also slow but now stunning every year. Just can’t imagine a garden without at least one. Your huge one is just gorgeous

My white ones took years to flower. So nice seeing your one.

The wonderful, magisterial Ms Georgina Beyer. A Māori Takatāpui wahine looks at the camera having received the NZ Order of Merit. She is smiling, with lipstick and some beautiful replica huia feathers in the bun of her hair, which is pulled back across her forehead.

Next week marks 25 years since Aotearoa elected its first openly transgender MP, Ms Georgina Beyer on 27 November 1999.

We just passed the 29th anniversary of her election as Mayor of Carterton, on 1 November 1995, the worlds first openly transgender Mayor.

Text from Anthony Ruakere screenshot on LinkedIn A Dummies Guide to Te Tiriti - in 10 Easy Steps 1. Settlers liked what Māori had 2. Māori liked what settlers brought 3. Māori and settlers said "if we share our things, we will all be better off" 4. An agreement setting this out was signed 5. Settlers repeatedly breach the agreement 6. Settlers prosper 7. Māori suffer 8. Māori continue asking settlers to abide by agreement 9. Instead, some settlers now want agreement to be re-written 10. Māori say "ew David", no thanks

this post has everything, a dummies guide to Te Tiriti AND a Schitt's Creek reference. SO GOOD

I love seeing the effect each piece of fabric creates, the patterned fabrics look completely different to how they started out in one piece. Very satisfying

David Seymour Admits Treaty of Waitangi Protects Against Unfettered Development YouTube video by Mountain Tui

So Te Tiriti o Waitangi prevented sea bed mining, is this one of the reasons the Atlas group want to get rid of it?

narcissism : Standing in front of 40,000+ citizens, INDIGENOUS citizens no less of your country, a petition signed by way more than voted for you & still saying Shhh, you need to just listen to me because I am right , you aren't listening to me & you don't understand.

New block list of right-wing trolls:

Seymour, Luxon & Peters will be round tabling riding out the media cycle on this. Our protest going forward is to not let them forget. That & making submissions. What a historic day .

Not a scrap of rubbish on the ground. No violence. No arrests. No swastikas. No nooses. Fifty thousand people all uniting to voice their objection to the absurd, peacefully observing the kaupapa. That's a power you can't dismiss or switch off.

Found a good aerial view of today's turn-out. Here it is side by side with the 2019 School Strike for Climate turn out, which was estimated at 40k. RNZ needs to at the very least double their 35k estimate for the hīkoi

OH for the LOVE OF GOD GET ME AN EDITOR OR EDIT BUTTON

Our next job #ToitūTeTiriti #NZPol

National uses the cover of the hikoi to release its boot camp bill, which enables private boot-camp providers to beat kids www.legislation.govt.nz/bill/governm...

Parliament, Lambton Quay, and Molesworth St absolutely packed with hikoi attendees

Panorama. Y'all, this stretches back at least to Willis St.

Planned ahead as I couldn’t attend the Hikoi … parked up in front of pc making xmas gift tags with a soul filling live stream

the perfect combo of righteousness and pettiness lesshgooooo

After the festering mess that was Parliaments occupation ( festering plague dump), I always worried about how genuine protests would be in the future, thinking they would never be productive or in a positive light. Today my soul is full. This Hīkoi restores my faith. Aotearoa is in good hands.
