Schools aren’t using air purifiers because they are too costly to run as opposed to data centers that are cheap as chips and fine. The way we have devalued human life ought to be studied but we have also defunded higher education so 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

And I mean across the board. It would force our political parties to get actually good at succession planning which they all suck at so fucking bad.

Also. Just imagine if we never have to deal with a Winston Peters again.

On the one hand, I think it's really important men in politics call out this behaviour and go further to condemn it (more of this pls). On the other hand, actions speak louder than words. What did you do? #nzpol

3) the huge swell in Saturday voters makes me more concerned about incoming disenfranchisement changes to same day enrolments for next year.
4) Selwyn should carry a travel advisory warning from now on, same with Cambridge and Hamilton.
5) the lack of civics education here is really showing.

Not over until aid is allowed in. Until independent specialists are allowed in to find out how many bodies are in the rubble. Until it's rebuilt. Until kids are back in school. Until they're all free. Until Isr are held accountable and the US no longer has veto power etc etc etc etc.

Just listened to an update from 2 UK surgeons. Three of them were booked to travel back into Gaza with a UN convoy on Sunday but Israel refused the Doctors reentry. They're also doctors who gave expert testimony at the UN about war crimes committed by Israel in Gaza. Israel is being duplicitous.

Kirikiriroa Hamilton loses some good councillors including the outstanding Louise Hutt :(
Looks like we have some 'interesting' candidates elected who will get a shock when they try and turn their "commonsense" into the reality of keeping the lights on and the water running.
