Today on NewstalkZB, Mike Hosking said it's a "reality check" for the Government to not have a proper response for climate hit areas.

Some examples of his previous work that may point to how we got here.
Many examples of Mike Hosking denying man-made climate change, or saying it's no big deal, or that it's a fad, or that "fanatics are wreaking havoc with progress" by trying mitigate against the consequences of climate change.

Every time Luxon talks about Labour needing the terrible radical Greens this should be put to him for response.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

The RNZ Tiriti poll is a classic example of Smug Savvy Media Brain. They did the poll because it's summer and they needed a story, then they framed it that way because they think it reads as "look at these awful racist people* and not "the views of awful racist people are newsworthy and valid"

I do remember when Judith Collins leaked the name and details of a public servant to the right wing attack blogger Cameron Slater and then the public servant received personal attacks and death threats. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
Key, English distance themselves from Collins
Prime Minister John Key and deputy Bill English are distancing themselves from Justice Minister Judith Collins' actions in passing a public servant's information to a blogger.

me: "So, Rod Donald, that's basically what the Green Party is like in 2025. What's your analysis of the situation? Is the party doomed?"
Rod Donald: "Holy shit, we have 15 MPs?"
me: "Does the Green Party have a future?"
Rod Donald: "15 MPs in the fucking parliament?"

I remember this disaster leading the news in Britain so it's my first memory of a major news event. I wasn't quite 6 at the time. RIP Gus Grissom, Edward White & Roger Chaffee.
