As today is World Octopus Day I’ll again mention that a Spanish equivalent to “like a fish out of water” is como un pulpo en un garaje. It means “like an octopus in a garage.”

Apologies. It was already done - 3 years ago by RNZ.

Result: Polluters and legislators ignored it. Par for course.

Perhaps a journalist could do a little deep dive into the NZ Salmon industry. Not everyone is aware, but the slight increase in water temperature has already fucked the industry real hard. Currently attempting to relocate everywhere because existing salmon farms are no longer viable.

PERFECTLY NORMAL

The most fundamental political debate of our time: You are integrated into and have responsibility for our complex, imperfect society vs. Nuh-uh.

Just for clarity, the unemployment numbers under this government may look terrible, but keep in mind, Luxon has driven tens of thousands of Kiwis overseas as well, so its actually far worse. These numbers are just the ones that couldnt leave.

Lol.

“This madness needs to end,” says representatives from party that twice nominated and elected to the Presidency an incompetent, abusive, delusional, senile, corrupt, lying, law-breaking kleptocrat.

Would love to see this done for NZ media.

"Croc has beef with cow"

That would be the newspaper coverage. Have you ever seen the NT News?

NZers: STOP excessive rates rises!!

Also NZers: Council must buy out my property which I bought or built in a fucking stupid place.

...ahhh and now I realise why there's been such a drive to pin a single smashed window and "political violence" on "radical Greens"...
...by the same guy that walked amongst the cookers at Parliament prior to their fucking riot and while they were having their daily mock hanging trials...

Genuinely surprised Chris still has a job

I guess it was too much to hope for that Israelis would gather to mark the passing of ~71,000 dead (1200 Israelis and ~70,000 Gazans), but yeah, do whatever you want, I guess. We all know that illegal wars, invasions and mass killings *never* get bought up again in the future, and everyone forgets!

If your bike lane can't do this... Go back to the drawing board.

Māhaki: Gentleness, kindness, softness

Also of interest is this lie:
"Today, inflation has been *brought down* to 2.7 percent"

Inflation has not been "bought down" by the genius economic intellect of this govt, it has *come down* through chance and global events.

Would Wesselbaum claim Willis causes the sun to rise?

Irrespective of correctness, let this be a retort to all the “there’s no free speech on our campuses” crowd. Dennis can write this piece praising the ex-political nemesis of his now-boss and be 100% confident that next promotion round it will HELP his chances of becoming a full professor.

RNZ almost never publishes "political opinions" but today they & Stuff/The Post published one defending Nicola Willis's handling of the economy.

The author is Dennis Wesselbaum - from lobby group NZ Initiative, where Luxon/Willis reportedly get economic policies from

RNZ is shot #nzpol #kiwi
