Just your regular reminder of the profound conflict of interest at the heart of the Luxon fast track: Chris Bishop is both chair of the National Party Campaign Committee, dependent on business donations, and as Infrastructure Minister decides which businesses get access to the fast track.

I'd really like it if the political policies being copied by AoNZ were from NORTH of the 49th parallel, not south. Carney isn't perfect but he's not a planet killing asshole like the people in the NZNACT coalition.
Our economy is creating good new jobs across Canada.
And with Budget 2025, we'll continue to empower workers, help our industries thrive, and build our country together.

I left AoNZ as a kid in '77 when 99% of the placenames were Euro; came back 2001 and I *learnt*the*Māori*names* because that's what they are.
I'm in my 50's. There are MANY words, technologies, concepts, that didn't even exist when I was born. Don't be an arse; just learn the words. Use them.

I cannot believe we are still talking about the nazi tattoo.
On the off chance I haven't blocked everyone who needs to understand this:
We can't afford the benefit of doubt on that.
If you do nazi stuff, people targeted by nazis MUST assume you're a nazi.

Why are random citizens consistently, and continuously, turning up major scandals by the government that NZ media are both *incapable of finding* AND refuse to report on even when they learn about it via citizen journalism???
Also has the NZ media even reported on the OIA by NZATE (I think it was) that returned evidence that David Seymour logged in to a Google Doc of the English curriculum rewrite and started making his own edits to it, completely outside the chain of responsibility and Ministry procedures?
