"It's not clear what I'd be apologising for," says Chris Bishop when asked whether he'd apologise to Stan Walker. Let me help: for attending the AMAs a guest, drinking the free beer and then loudly and rudely behaving like an arse during Stan's performance. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Glencore's Hail Creek mine is still belching out methane at an ENORMOUS rate!
In 2021, peer-reviewed research found the mine was under-reporting methane by more than a factor of ten.
Satellite observations for 2023 indicate that it may have released a year's worth of methane in just 16 days! 🧪 🔌💡

These fucking projects – stadia, convention centres, tunnels – are just NZ’s big infrastructure companies looking for structures to infra; we don’t need these things… but they need them to turnover the millions they feel is their job to turn over (and get paid enormous salaries for). It’s all fake.

The tunnel bypassing the inner city will cost several billion dollars.

The Living Wage is an hourly rate. Set apart from the minimum wage, it’s worker and whānau focused.
Paying the Living Wage rate is voluntary. Employers who pay the Living Wage want to make sure their workers get enough money to live with dignity. #Kikorangi

The Govt says it wants to lower costs for consumers & taxpayers while cutting size of govt & taxes. So why did it make a decision that will cost citizens $51b AND cost Govt $19b? Casey Costello withheld the analysis from Cabinet. HT @marcdaalder Detail: thekaka.substack.com/p/govt-ignor...
Govt ignored economic analysis of smokefree reversal
Analysis for BMJ found smokefree changes reversed by Govt would have freed up $51b for consumers by 2050, more than offsetting net cost to Govt of $19b; Costello never passed on advice to Cabinet

It is important to notice how an attack that appears to have targeted women at random has already been repeatedly described as “not ideologically motivated”.

so Israel's "right to defend itself" means it can brutally oppress & kill on the daily & for decades whomever it pleases but those attacked by Israel must never resist their own subjugation & instead must solemnly submit to their own slaughter cos if they don't, they're antisemitic, is that right?

Can someone please make it clear to police, journalists, politicians, that you do not "suffer from mental health". Mental health is not a disease. We all have it. You suffer from poor mental health, or conditions. That's like saying someone with cancer is suffering from physical health...

In a landmark case, a European court has ruled that Human Rights have been violated by the failure of Government to act on #climatechange.
