From BHN and @clrenney.bsky.social, a deep dive into the LNG proposal. It is worse that canning the ferries without having a replacement ready to go.

Are the New Zealand government demanding access to the Epstein files to determine if some of our citizens need arresting?
I am led to believe that Peter Thiel was a great freind to Epstein.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury's post "The growing list of countries that are investigating or pushing leaders to step down over the Epstein Files ⬇️ -The UK -Norway -Sweden -Slovakia -France -Latvia -Lithuania -Poland -Ireland Meanwhile, the U.S. President is trying to tell Americans to “move on” after he appears 38,000 times in the files, alongside dozens of friends and associates, including the Secretary of Commerce, Secretary of the Navy, Fed Chair nominee, and DOGE appointee — and both his DOJ and FBI appointees actively lied to the American people about disclosures. It is not time to move on. It’s time for accountability!"

Shouldn't the electricity generators be paying for this out of their MASSIVE FUCKING PROFITS?

Why does Air New Zealand drape itself in the Koru and Maori symbolism and yet cannot bothered to publish their website in The Reo Maori?
I don't speak Te Reo but FFS I am not using Maori cultural symbols to make money. Did consecutive CEO's just say what it the least we can do?

Pepperidge farm remembers the outrage at the Labour Green coalition refusing to give Gumboot Friday money because they didn't fill out the required application paperwork. It seems that that was justified now that the shoe is on another foot!

A headline from RNZ which shows founder of I am hope Mike King. Lots of questions as to whether the charity should have been awarded money by the NAF coalition in a "special opt out" proceedure. The auditor-general's office also noted that it could not examine the internal practices - such as remuneration - of I Am Hope itself, because the charity was a private organisation.

An image of the NZHerald 'opinion piece' in which Erica Standford gets given a free pulpit to tell readers some bushit about why she is "removing Treaty of Waitangi requirements for school boards" and I couldn't read cause it is behind a paywall! I may be jumping the gun a bit about calling it bullshit BUT I do actually believe that this government is not a government of ALL New Zealanders and in fact they are activly working to cause harm to those that are not the white majority. Never Trust a tory! Oh the picture is off Erica Stanford just about to eat a passle of school children, actually no she is just sitting with them and they are wishing they could do double maths instead!

Sign this petition about the Regulatory Standards Bill, please

petitions.parliament.nz/212f27b2-98f...
Petition request That the House of Representatives urge the Government to withdraw the Regulatory Standards Bill from the legislative programme. Petition reason I am petitioning the House because nearly every submission on the Regulatory Standards Bill opposed it, yet the Government plans to pass it anyway. I believe this shows disregard for public participation and democratic integrity. I think the Government is ignoring the 98.7 percent of submitters who oppose the bill and cannot be trusted to listen. I feel that Parliament must act to restore public trust by urging the Government to withdraw this Bill.

A chance for the government to step up and make sure our bees and bee-keepers are protected from this pest! I wait to be surprised with a co-ordinated response to eradicate this as we did with the pea weevil and Mycoplasma bovis.
