Just did an online survey for RNZ, largely focused on what I want from a morning radio show.
Specific presenters asked about were HDPA, Lloyd Burr, John Campbell, Garth Bray, Emile Donovan, Laura Tupou and Paddy Gower.

This is absolutely amazing. Like. We need to shout from the rooftops and tell vaccine success stories like this. (All vaccines are success stories, but it's not as easy to illustrate how verifiably life saving they are.)

The difference between the approach of Labour's Future for Local Government (do a big review, talk to everybody, but make no actual change) and this from National (talk to nobody, announce and make changes nearly immediately) is pretty big.
It is understood reforms to be announced today will mean the dissolving of regional councils, and the first steps could be within this current three-year council term.
End of regional councils tipped in local government reforms

I won a prize from Fiz & Fogg! A long spoon and knife plus four jars of their (delicious) pistachio spread. Reckon I'll do some baking with it.

This is awful. Really feel for the kids this will directly harm, and for the people who love them and are trying to care for them.
The Government is banning new patients from being prescribed the most common form of puberty blocker and is explicitly aligning NZ's future policy on this matter to the UK's. PR below.

Our heartfelt congratulations to all of our Uber members and the four drivers - Nureddin, Julian, Bill and Mea’ole.
It is not easy to stand up and speak out about a multibillion dollar multinational corporation that controls almost every aspect of your livelihood. You have done it. And won!

If the barrel keeps having rotten apples put in, or apples are turning rotten once inside, at what point do you accept there’s a system problem?
Why are rotten apples put in? Why are they going rotten once in?
And why aren’t (more) politicians asking this about police?

It's frustrating how in the Tina from Turner's ad she sings "Paekākāriki" while standing in front of the giant L&P bottle which is clearly in Paeroa, nowhere near Paekākāriki. It's the only town name she sings where she's not in front of something in that town, I don't understand
