what the fuck are Peter Beck and Rocket Lab up to and why tf are they hosting Hegseth and selling him on their build capacity?
Beck seems hellbent on bringing military integration to NZ at a far greater magnitude than RocketLab already provides via their military launches
He is making NZ a target

Should have probably included this comparison of the wage share of the pie in previous 🧵
A stark reminder of just how much Roger and Ruth destroyed the bargaining power of workers as they set about creating a high profit / low wage, private debt fuelled, ecocidal, directionless economy.

#nzpol But will anyone in our political media write about about David's long pattern of 'accidentally' endorsing products. 🤔
Remember when David Seymour & the NZ Media lost their collective shit when Marama Davidson dared say how good it was to have te reo on chocolate labels.
David 'the rules are not for me' Seymour doesn't like the Cabinet Manual
"No Minister should endorse in any media any product or service

This shows Act in charge of the Government, blocking Nicola Willis’ plan for a policy costings unit that might have checked Act’s (& other parties’) campaign policies. Plus: officials warned the Parent Boost visa would stress clogged hospitals, and an awful case of migrant abuse has emerged.

A Parliament that disrespects the voting public by saying a computer will read their submissions on a bill is not one that is worthy of our trust to have four year terms.
Labour must commit to funding Parliament to do its own analysis of submissions, and press this at Standing Orders review too.

BREAKING: ICE and private prison contractor GEO Group are refusing to allow Mahmoud Khalil to hold his newborn son for the first time, even after his wife flew them over 1,000 miles to visit.
We just asked a federal court to order ICE to grant Mahmoud's request for a contact visit with his family.

Future historians may consider Nicola Willis to be the country’s worst Finance Minister, even worse than Rob Muldoon and Ruth Richardson.
