I realise I've been a bit slack with dropping hints for #SecretSantaAoNZ.
I'm not actually a big fan of "I'd like a..." or "... would go down well", as I think the sleuthing is an important part of the fun.
So instead here's a few photos that contain a lot of the things that bring me joy.

It feels like cancelling the regional councils at the same time as completely altering the RMA is a very shifty way to disguise which part made everything go fucking wrong #NZPol

* New Zealand takes pies (namely, handheld meat pies) so seriously that there are National Pie Awards that get major media coverage. The New Zealand National Library has a whole dedicated category for “Pies — Competitions.”
Pie.

Speaking of National MPs kowtowing the the US regime. #nzpol 🤦♂️
(1/10) BREAKING: US State Dept has fundamentally redefined "human rights." New mandatory guidance instructs diplomats to flag gender-affirming care and hate speech laws as human rights abuses. The "Civil Liberties" framework has captured the diplomatic engine.

Under Trump, U.S. human rights reports will flag abortion, gender care
In a dramatic break, the State Department intends to scrutinize other countries’ abuses by emphasizing entitlements “given to us by God.”

Hardly an original thought, but it saddens me to see the hypocrisy of a nation built on the backs of immigrants going all in on an anti-immigration stance.

I've been posting far too much politics stuff recently, so people may not get the true sense of who I am (although my regular #Vinyl<weekday> threads would give SOME insight 🤘🤣🤘)

One welcome feature that @kererubrewing.beer have that these Aussie buggers don't is the ability to craft a mixed carton, instead of being forced to buy a single variety in each one.
