"Most New Zealanders were probably not aware the government owns this investment in Chorus, nor feels any particular benefit from it," Willis said.

Government mulls possible sale of Chorus

The Finance Minister says with the completion of the ultra-fast broadband fibre initiative, there's no longer a policy reason for the Crown to own Chorus.

Nothing like conservatives telling people to 'relax guy, don't be so sensitive'

... then clutching their pearls in horror at the sight of a rainbow flag or keffiyeh or... or... or... or... or...

Is there anything this government won't do for its lobbying mates

What is their internal reward system?

Praise from wealth & power?
Sticking it us little people?
Laughing at empathy?
Kicking kids to the curb?
Frolicking in genocide?

Seriously, where do they get their warm and fuzzies?

And right there behind is Palestine, Cairo and Gallipoli carved into the sandstone

Carved in history for us to never forget - maybe someone needs to take our PM to Christchurch to see if he recognises the name

That man should never be permitted near ANZAC / Gallipoli remembrance days

Native American tribes were promised the return of traditional ways of life and the departure of white settlers. The white settlers lied.

White settlers - 135 years later they are fundings another colonisation on spilled blood

Karen Culture - 'its my right'

He's an evangelical who believes in the End of Days

These people are more than happy to join Israel in bringing on the anti-christ

Anyone who believes in fairy tales should not be near power

New Zealand Government disrespecting the will of New Zealanders

1,769 words to abandon our tradition of independent foreign policy in favour of risk-averse political calculation bending the knee to US/Israel

Genocide? Yeah Nah mate!

“The time of…Benjamin Netanyahu coming to this city and then making military decisions from this city to kill civilians…has to come to an end.”

I asked @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social if he still plans to arrest Netanyahu if he comes to New York.
