It always makes me suspicious when real estate agents stall you - like they are desperately drumming up an alternate bid

Unreinforced concrete buildings in towns with population of less than 10000 - don’t need to be upgraded. That’s going to age well.

Our Kiwi women are doing us proud on the world stage - while the blokes are proving we still have old colonialists in our midst. Yes Winston you are a colonialist collaborator.

My view - Winston’s announcing a plan for UN statement 1 week out - opened the bidding war for doners to NZ 1st to buy NACT. 1st complicity. Watch the dark $$$ next election whanau.

Palestine didn’t even feature in his / their thought process.

If ever our post colonial past is so nakedly visible on the world stage. Winston can’t recognise a people when his brand is denying rights of his people at home

Grenville tower
“the government of the day was on a deregulation drive, advocating a “one-in one-out” approach. If a minister wanted to bring in a regulation, they had to remove an existing one.”

The far right - Trump / Maga project. They accuse their opposition of doing the thing they are doing or going to do next.

Hobsons pledge are projecting sovereign states to move the Overton window. Is the South Island the jewel in the Sth Pacific crown the techno bunker boys want ?
