Outrageous. And he’s the Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations!!!
National were so proud to “kill” the treaty principles bill. But this is the same process just continuing along anyway, just less transparently.

"they/them might be-giants .... 3d Knowledge is being hidden from public view at a terrifying rate. Simple info you easily could've found for free online 10 years ago is. paywalled and buried under tons of Al slop It's like watching the Library of Alexandria burn.

"This crisis is very unfortunate... but I'm sure people can understand I don't have access to a magic money tree forest..."
I'm sure Nicola understands nobody sensible uss such childish narratives AND that she did seem to have *instant access* to one for donors, ciggie co's and landlords 🤬
If Winston doesn't want to work with racists, why is he in the same party as Shane Jones and why is he in coalition with Paul Goldsmith?

Who would have guessed that if you progressively defund science and redesign a university to value bean-counting over serious research, some of the best people find cushier gigs elsewhere! What a mystery!
Some inside baseball on the Curr Bio paper on Kea pecking orders, reported in the Times : the senior author of the research, cognitive scientist Alex Taylor, is in Barcelona rather than New Zealand because we failed to retain him
Interesting/depressing reality. Not a single thing on earth is better because of Trump. Every single thing is worse. Every single thing, for everyone on planet earth, is somehow worse than it was before Trump became president. Every single thing he’s touched has turned to utter shit.
Yeah, and quietly affected horrendous change without any publicity really
Evil man. the rest of cabinet are a bunch of egotistical morons, but he's rat cunning and evil

It’s kind of hard to really emphasise how much potential Aotearoa has – we could achieve so much for our people, for our pacific family and for the world but we have been stifled by the people who wield power in this country for so long. We are so rich, we have so much abundance.
Wow.
Turns out that Luxon’s big plan to double down on fossil fuels with a LNG fossil gas import terminal didn’t even include modelling of international price spikes.

Live: 'They're the guys that put Jacinda Ardern in power' - Christopher Luxon bites back at Winston Peters
They are also the party who put you into power you ridiculous little man #NZPol

Louder for all the people in the back: LUXON IS A HARD-RIGHT FUNDY WEIRDO AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN
Clearly Luxon’s view on what a ‘normal’ society should be has some weird regressive shit going on and it feels he’s Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men. He’s been bottling it up. He wants to tell us why we’re radical weirdos. He wants to tell us how we should be living. We can’t handle his truth.
💯👇 I know competence is scarcer than cheap petrol with these goobers, but blaming your dogshit political judgement on apolitical civil servants who absolutely can NOT read your lying arse for filth is a new low in dick moves. #nzpol
Regime to restart tenure review; privatise the high country to its donors and cronies so they can make mega-profits

The comments from both senior ministers on RNZ's Morning Report signalled the election campaign has well and truly begun, with Willis also saying Peters was "mischief-making". She went on to say that Labour was "choosing to get into bed with the party that referred to Indians choosing to come to New Zealand as a 'butter chicken tsunami'". Willis' comments were on the weekly Morning Report political panel alongside Labour's Tangi Utikere, who she accused of being in a party that was "courting exactly the same concerns that New Zealand First are trying to whip up" in regards to the New Zealand-India free trade agreement.
Nicola Willis, in coalition with NZ First, accusing Labour of jumping into bed with NZ First and using racist comments made by her coalition partner, NZ First.
Paul Goldsmith's enshitification of NZ knows no bounds
How far must you have fallen in life to be making threats of violence against this actual national treasure, a man who, in his more whimsical moments, sings songs to ducks.
