Prime Minister Luxon has once again been caught out making claims about local government without having the evidence to back it up. This time it's over his demonstrably inaccurate claim that cycleways are responsible for recent high rates increases.

Luxon misleads over cycleways being responsible for rates increases
Back in December 2024 in a social media post on LinkedIn, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon blamed spending on cycleways for driving increases in local government rates.

I've still got a handful of albums in the backlog, and there's no doubt I'll still be running into stuff I missed well into this year. But here's one last signal boost for the 230 or so #Ska albums I caught in 2024:

This band rules & Moonflower is a motherfippin’ great album that deserves your attention
Hi Bluesky! We're Flying Raccoon Suit. If you're new to us we're a band from south Mississippi and we make ska and other sounds. We put out an album a year ago called Moonflower that we're pretty fond of.

FFO: Ska, jazz, indie, Garfield, They Might Be Giants, Taco Bell, Nintendo games, RPGs

What’s nuts about The Post’s coverage of Tory Whanau is that by the next election she will have led the District Plan through the IHP process (huge), started the Golden Mile upgrade (big), while doing pretty much all WCC could reasonably be expected to do to “fix the pipes”. That’s quite a strong CV
The Post naming the mayor of Wellington as the 44th most powerful person in Wellington is hilariously petty but also explains so much about their coverage.

The Go-Go’s “Our Lips Are Sealed” peaks at #20 today in 1981.

“That song is really unique in its structure and .. melodically, it’s such a fun song,” said Belinda Carlisle. “And of course, when you get the reaction of the audience to the song when you do it live, it makes it even better.”
