I missed this part, Auckland Council data was not included because the planned rates rises were TOO LOW and might skew the National Average (the data also didn't include like, 50 other local authorities), so its probably way less than a can of baked beans or whatever

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

This is really the damning part of this Newsroom story about the rates cap gimmick. They had their performative policy and weren't very interested in being told whether it made sense or not. newsroom.co.nz/2026/01/15/r...

If there’s a better obituary for an evil cartoonist than an A.I. generated version of his character that fucks up the defining detail of its design, I can’t think of it. No notes. 👨🏻🍳 💋

If only they had some writers who would help them
This, to be clear, is not an apology. Not sure what it is.

🕯️My cousin Brian passed away last night. After a courageous 3 wk stint with ICE. He slipped on a fellow agent’s frozen peepee puddle & somersaulted many times in the air, yelling “yabbada yabbada yabbada” & tragically aspirating (a different) agent’s pee he’d been gargling. He hated women🇺🇸💔
