Wait. You like Taylor Swift? That’s new.

Yes. She knew the glass was there. It shouldn't have been, but it was.

Weaponising it like this to further stoke the outrage is the last thing we need in this hyper-charged political environment. And Peters knows that. Which is why he's doing it.

Imagine that. This story dropping on the same day as the one about the person charged for making death threats against a former Green Party as a result of Peters' co-ordinated campaign against them. 🤔 #nzpol

That's left for us when we realise, as we're also seeing globally, that the left and the right are expected to play under a completely different set of rules.

By which I mean there are strict rules for left wing parties to adhere to, and none for those on the right.

It would be great if the media also treated the rhetoric from our co-Deputy Prime Minister that lead to these threats with the same vigour and gusto they used when haranguing the Greens over the attack of his house.

Has any reporter reached out to Peters for comment? #nzpol

I’m pleased to see the police are taking the threats against Doyle seriously. I hope the courts do as well.
Maybe a couple of convictions with fines and/or a bit of jail time will have a chilling effect on online incitement and harassment.

She's looking a bit sheepish.

Looking forward to Winston Peters taking full responsibility for this. That's how this works now, right? #nzpol

Bullshit, we've not even signed a contract yet, it was *no earlier than*

While you're spiralling, you can check out their cover of this Split Enz classic which manages to be inferior in every possible way.

Yeah, I agree. It's not really adding a lot to the mix.

Pretty mellow outing from these 'strayan prog metal lads though.

Are we sure this is the correct track to be back on? I'm beginning to suspect we took a wrong turn somewhere. #nzpol

Latest benefits data is out. More detail later, but suffice to say that we are going to need some new forecasts.
