My mother survived walking through Hiroshima the day after as a 13 year old, so I have a fair idea of what a nuclear holocaust looks and feels like

The govt made a deliberate choice to fund tax cuts for landlords, corporates and the wealthy instead of health, climate and public services.

We had a $6B climate resilience fund and Nationals squandered it all on tax cuts for their mates so now we get boxes of KFC after weather events instead of properly funded supports and help.
Yay for us I guess??

Leaders should absolutely show up, but disaster response isn’t a photo op or should be trivialised. Watching our Prime Minister hand out boxes of KFC to impacted communities was peak cringe IMO. We need serious, systems-level action and that 6b resilience fund like yesterday.

✋ I'll comment. (Full disclosure - I did campaign comms for the current Mayor, Wendy Schollum - so I watched this plank a LOT):
Would-be mini-Farage Gibson seems intent on stoking culture wars rather than doing the job he was elected to do.

This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom:
"If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."

For all the fearmongering about capital flight from New York City, there’s an exodus few want to talk about: working people.
Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.
That’s what we have to change.

Today, RBNZ will create $2m out of thin air and pay it as interest to private banks that hold deposits (reserve balances) at RBNZ. Paying interest on reserves is part of how RBNZ keeps overnight / short-term interest rates above OCR (2.25%). Tomorrow, they'll do the same. And, then the next day etc.

At this moment 40 yrs ago, the Space Shuttle Challenger’s external fuel tank exploded and the shuttle disintegrated 73 seconds after liftoff from Kennedy Space Center, killing all 7 astronauts aboard. Investigators later found failure of O-ring seals in the right solid rocket booster was the cause.
