It seems we go from sleepy hobbits to warrior submitters when we realise things we care about are under threat.

What a deal oil & gas are offering here. We pay the cost of catastrophic climate change if they find oil. We pay their exploration costs if they don't. It's a lose - lose. This is as demented as it gets.

Just after midnight police pulled over and arrested a gang member who wasn’t wearing a patch but was displaying gang insignia on the dashboard of his car.
Two days after the Toitū Te Tiriti hikoi and a week after the Abuse in State Care apology.

Just a heads up that this $10 billion + difference is the cost of the Cook Strait ferries, Picton and Wellington upgrades, Dunedin Hospital at gold standard, reversing mental health service cuts, and doing the Transport Choices programme.
Confirmation that Simeon Brown misled the public over the cost of major future transport projects ahead of last year's election. By many many billions of dollars.

This excellent piece sums up a great deal of what bugs me about the framing of "impartiality" in news media. Nevak Rogers takes leave to march with her whanau and it's news, but Soper and HDPA *use their actual media platform* to scorn the hikoi and that's different? thespinoff.co.nz/politics/19-...
Who gets to have an opinion on the hīkoi and who must remain ‘impartial’?
Newsrooms of old were apparently more impartial. But that’s only because everyone shared the same biases.

No, Prime Minister, people aren't just protesting the week-old Government. They're pretty hacked off with the racist crap its constituents parties were spouting over the nine months following Jacinda Ardern announcing the election date in mid-January. You'd know that if you were listening.
