Fantastic show. Also the bike stand by New Regent St was packed. Found a spot down at Tūranga
Great show by Sharon Van Etten and the Attachment Theory at the Isaac Royal tonight. Played all of the latest fantastic album plus a few oldies and a lovely tribute to Davis Lynch at the end

We in Aotearoa do not treat women politicians with respect.
A male dominated world where women are just "add-ons"
Fucking sick of the treatment towards any female.
What happened to Tory was absolutely disgraceful and politics should be embarrassed and ashamed

Tory Whanau isn’t leaving - she was hounded out
Opinion: As all the emails and filthy gossip came out, it’s been patently, toe-curlingly, nauseatingly obvious to every young woman what’s been happening.

Before choosing bottled water over tap water, remember it takes more than 10X the water that a bottle of water holds to make the plastic bottle and transport the water. And that’s before considering the fuel and GHGs, the 1000 year bottle life, and the RIDICULOUS amount of $ we’re paying for water.

No money for a straightforward walking & cycling bridge to give Hutt City Centre a decent link to the railway station, because of some dumb reckons about not building non-car infrastructure.
But we’ve got $4Bn to spray around building a 1960s-esque roading monstrosity by blasting though Wellington.
