The treaty bill (not supported by National) was a smokescreen for this one (supported by National).

The treaty will come later.

This is the right wing playbook and we're falling straight into it.

Make you submissions and stop both bills!

I also love reading a game and being able to instantly visualize what it might be like to run/play. Some games it is really difficult, some are incredibly easy. Mothership does a great job of this, and of course Into the Odd family.

I love Mythic Bastionland Side-based Initiative.

I get my players to chuck all their dice into a dice tray, then use the results to describe what happened I'm the fiction. This makes it highly engaging with very little waiting for turns.

100%!!

But if achieved, public ownership must be locked in to prevent THEFT by future rightwing govts.

Perhaps every NZers could be issued with one voting share, comprising of 51% of a new energy SOE. Govt to hold remaining 49%.

NZers in firm control!

I will reiterate as someone with field and specific knowledge of New Zealand’s oil and gas sector, there is no giant untapped field out there. Even if Labour agrees to this, not a single drop of oil or gas will be produced in the next decade because it’s not there. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon asks Labour leader Chris Hipkins to support offshore gas exploration

The Prime Minister wants a bipartisan approach to offshore exploration for natural gas.

Looking for playtesters for an upcoming sci-fi horror game kind of like shadowdark meets ten candles meets mothership.

'Very expensive': Stanford discovers one size doesn't fit all school-builds - Newsroom share.google/5Mt3QMPT2qEF...

Look at the wording. A 'burden'. They are privatizing education (already) and making a play to privatize it further.

We need to make them a one term government.

They must believe they can win votes with blatant racism. What other sensible reasoning could there be?

Is New Zealand racist enough to vote them back in?

Pulling a learn-to-read book with six kupu Māori is another educational assault

Restricting te reo Māori for tamariki learning to read further alienates Māori in the education system – and that has enormous consequences.

When is an announcement not an announcement? When there’s nothing to announce. But that didn’t stop Brooke van Velden on day one of her health and safety reform blitz.
