PATHA judicial review against the govt's ban on puberty blockers for trans kids granted, partly on the basis that the decision was taken on political and not medical grounds
Which, if it stands, seems like it could sink the whole scam www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/assets/cases...

![[176] The second cause of action is also clearly arguable and perhaps more than
arguable given the material that has become available since the proceedings were filed.
The Minister did not take a preferred position to Cabinet. Rather, he chaired a meeting
at which strong views were expressed and appears to have accepted the views of
Cabinet. The views of Cabinet do not reflect the medical advice set out in the RIS.
Whether that suffices as an exercise of the Minister’s statutory power will need to be
decided, but the factual picture is now quite clear, and it supports PATHA’s position
that this was a political decision and contrary to advice from the Ministry which also
feeds into the third cause of action.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y5ef7ykskrf34je7djcylqwm/bafkreie4tcjzi3btkd73fxa3xnvrlduxcqo2ozteeu7utgy5knfsmefi5i@jpeg)

In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

The tragic loss of lives in NZ flooding events this week are climate change deaths. Media and govt are avoiding the topic.

We're down a billion in revenue, but, don't worry, agencies are spending $2.3bn less than expected on people and services, so... we're winning $1.1bn!
