Review of police integrity finds reset 'urgently needed' It also found seniors were held to a "lesser standard than juniors" and a that wave of crime" was arriving in NZ.

#nzpol “police must secure the right people, skills, tools, and technology to operate effectively in an increasingly complex, cyber-enabled crime environment."

No shit Sherlock!

I managed to get the app working on the TV today although there is still a lot of spinning ball before the program loads.

First I used the clear all option on the app, then did a soft reset (for Samsung pleas and hold the off key until the TV restarts), then wait for the network to restart.

Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness—one of the most beautiful places in the United States and in the world—is in danger of being permanently polluted by a copper mine. Americans across the country are fighting to save it.

Research continues. Rivers are restored. Wildlife bridges are built. We continue to innovate to fix climate problems large and small.

None alone will stop climate change or reverse the damage done. But Earth Day represents the promise, the hope that humanity can summon the will to save our home. 🌎

Earth Day reminder: the planet is doing its best, considering everything we’ve thrown at it.
The least we can do is return the favor. 🌍

Choose hope. Choose action. Choose to protect the penguins who show up every day in formalwear.

Waddle responsibly.

same here but as all other apps work I think it is purely a TVNZ issue.

Just make sure you have updates turned on for apps on your TV incase they get their shit together.

The problems appear to be device-specific, I have an oldish iPhone which the new app won't open on and a newer iPhone that works without issues. My TV loads the app but comes up with a fault when launching any program.

It's staggering that these issues aren't being reported by the media.

Cars and vans bobbing in flood water in an Edwardian suburban street.

Cars and vans bobbing in flood water in an Edwardian suburban street.

"Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one filming it"

Or till the background is the street you grew up in. Hits home.

We cannot let anyone destroy the ranges, there are so many species that depend on it, so many people who give their time for free to protect it and so many Kiwis and tourists who have benefited from it. Paradise is not for sale, please sign! #nzpol

#nzpol Think about this as you watch your Kiwi Saver balance fall. Hopefully, everyone here is using a broker that doesn't invest in oil etc.

Yet another reason for the NZ govt to ask the US ambassador for a please explain.

TVNZ seems to have done an excellent job updating the back end of their TVNZ+ to allow it, a public broadcaster, to charge for stuff & to make the user experience worse in every single respect than the previous version of the app.

Including buffering for the full minute before playing anything.

Read the entirety of their new privacy policy, I think they employed a data vampire..

Agreed but if Winston is in the mix that simply means a deadlocked one term parliament.

Given that Trump is quite happy to declare any country a new territory of the USA it would seem that Winston is creating a national security issue by supplying NZ intelligence data to a potential state enemy. It's like giving a treasure map to a pirate and expecting a cut.

We’ve toiled and lost jobs just to end up with this crappy economy The Coalition has trampled over social cohesion only to leave us back where we started - or worse.

“We’ve toiled and lost jobs just to end up with this crappy economy”

I wish it was just jobs & toil. The govt have gutted pay equity, housing, food banks, disability support at the same time as pumping money into landlords, tobacco companies, & any pet projects that help donors not NZers #nzpol

I agree but until Labour declares they will not choose NZ First as a coalition partner many of us feel our vote will simply provide yet another term of infection from Winston and his cronies.

You want people to vote, tell them who they are actually voting for.

I noticed there was no mention in that interview of climate change mitigation. Sure we need adaption measures but unless we stabilize the climate with an urgent worldwide decarbonization initiative we will never keep up with adaption measures.

Looks like the “targeted, temporary relief” is doing fuck all. Who would have thought?

I would have thought the entire cabinet is the anchor and the dinghy is empty symbolising the void of reason, empathy and non-partisan policy.

In New Zealand we already have 100% new e-bus sales, by policy, and will have 100% e-bus fleet by 2035, also by policy. Clean tech + regulation = win.

Thanks for the feedback.
I managed to get it working well on a second iPhone so one out of three devices.

It’s unbelievable that a National broadcaster would release a BETA version and use the public as BETA testers. Even more amazing that this fuck up hasn’t been reported in the media.

On my iOS mobile, the app is telling me my phone is rooted (jailbroken) so it won’t load. My phone isn’t jailbroken.

Tried deleting the app and reinstalling but the same thing.

Both the Smart TV and phone app have been deleted. Glad you had better luck!

Just like our government - multiple tobacco lobbyists now in parliament scraping anti tobacco legislation and giving tax breaks for Big Tobacco except they weren't excluded from meetings..
