Lies are going around about the Greens after Scoop published a bullshit article about Wellington Council not prioritising water management in 2021 when the facts show they invested a record $2.4b
The lies have been spreading fast. The piece was written by NZCPR i.e. the ACT Party affiliated group

a perfidious thing 90s media did was associate the stereotype of the bully with sports via The Jock. sports are cool, you get to hang out with your friends, have fun, get good brain chemicals, and it took me forever to realise that because media told me it was for bad people.

Decent paprika haul today. I could:
a) dehydrate and blitz to powder.
b) smoke them, followed by drying and blitzing.
c) try making a chilli crisp.
They're milder than a chilli, but hotter than I was expecting.

If all these rich men "regret" their time with Epstein then why didn't they announce prior to the release of the files that their names would be part of the collection? Why didn't they self-report? The answer is they are not sorry and have no regret. They are sorry and regret they got caught.
