On a serious note, I was shocked at the state of NZ... and I realise this only scratches the surface. We hope this at least helps feels Kiwis feel seen 👀💗 (And if you liked it let us know, we might make a follow up ahead of your 2026 election)

The gambling industry is predatory and insidious.

I quit the Parliamentary Sports Club a few weeks ago, when I discovered it had registered as a lobbyist group and was sponsored by the gambling peak body.

The industry will do anything to wield influence on pollies, and hates being called out.

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

Nothing to see here, just Trump going for his second “yearly” checkup this year.

Our questions for ABC 730 following the airing of this
shoddy story:

1) Who told you this report was commissioned in response to robodebt?

2) Are you aware that DEWR was forced to respond to revelations of unlawful decisions discovered by a welfare rights activist through FOI?

3) What gave you the impression this report about "policy", when it is explicitly a review into whether or not DEWR has operated the welfare punishment system unlawfully, and how doing so led them to unlawfully cut people off Centrelink payments, which the report confirms?

4) Did you actually even read the report you just covered on the public broadcaster’s flagship news program?

Hey, @dailymail.co.uk, in your puff piece:

Even if this "journalist" said the word gazpacho, you need to point this out, buds.

Gazpacho is cold soup.
Gestappo are nazi secret police.
You can remember the difference because cold soup doesn't shoot pepper balls into a pastor's head.

MAGA Alberta troll site begs Trump to ban me. Little wonder that MAGA Alberta looks to a foreign adversary for help.
I have been blacklisted by Putin, being banned by Trump would be a source of honour.
And I remain proudly Canadian - true, north, strong, free and never a quisling traitor.

Please enjoy this executive at one of America's biggest gas companies openly admitting that expanding supply leads to increased demand for fossil fuels

He is not wrong: frantic expansion of fossil fuel supply worsens climate change. Tax it, cut subsidies, wind it down

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.
