The Australian and NZ govts need to grow a spine and make it abundantly clear that a US attack on Greenland would result in the end of all military and intelligence co-operation. No more AUKUS. No more Pine Gap. Cancellation of orders for military hardware from US suppliers. #auspol #nzpol

The perpetrators of the atrocities at Port Arthur and Christchurch and one of the two perpetrators of the Bondi massacre were Australian citizens. It is clear that Australian citizenship does not somehow magically make someone a fit and proper person to hold a gun licence.

Dear Winston - I am acting to further the RBNZ's functions under the Reserve Bank Act of NZ Act 2021, ss 10(1)(e)(ii); 10(1)(f)(i) and 10(1)(g) in line with the objective of "protecting and promoting the stability of New Zealand’s financial system". As you're not my Minister ... fuck off.
Love, Anna

i'm quite content on my own but sometimes i think polygamy might be ok?
like when your out walking and see a rock formation you could ask wife 1 what is that rock. and at night when the stars are out wife 2 could tell you the names. maybe also a tall wife, to reach those things up a little too high

the bit that i don't get is his decision to throw his lot in with a party that was/is a big part of the problems we have now
‘The problems we face are a consequence of the economic model we have built up in Aotearoa over the past forty years. But that model is a choice – one that we can change if we wish to.’

Craig Renney's 'The Good Economy' is out now!

had a rabid anti 1080 moment with a local anti vaxxer, covid denialist, ivermectin ingesting, chemtrail conspiracist friend.
kinda tragic how ppl who exhibit nearly all the hallmarks of common sense become deranged via fb and the reinforcing circle of like minded individuals.

the jewish musicians incarcerated in Terezin staged a requiem mass for their catholic nazi captors. the german camp guards thought it amusing- jews performing music from a catholic religion.
their response when mocked: we are doing this because one day you will also have to answer to your god
“ICE’s godless tactics are a total affront to the gospel of Jesus Christ. It stands in the face of the faith of our ancestors. It mocks the women & men who reared us to love the truth, to stand up for justice, & to never stand by idly while tyrants trample on the dignity and life of our neighbors.”
Pope Leo has condemned ICE more than a dozen times—and wept after hearing migrants describe the terror they endured. Now, after ICE killed a widowed American mother, it’s clear: no Catholic can remain in ICE.

If you have the courage to take the first step, the Church will help you find better work.

a classmate at flying school years ago came back from a course in Nelson one day and recounted how he went to the customhouse hotel for a few beers after the course. shadbolt was there, drinking with a group of labourers, fishermen. he told them he was a council worker from auckland:)

whose got the good oil on this?
knowledge of the world interferes with the purity that some people want in their view of it, and so they actively resent anybody who tries to educate them.

it's not rocket science eh. first thing i think of when i see extensive tattoos: that can't be healthy
According to an article published in 2020, “the historical and cultural popularity of tattooing may be partly due to honest information tattoos convey about adaptive biology, similar to physical benefits of exercise”. 10.1002/ajhb.23347

momentarily took my eyes off the road on my kawazaki Z1 after being startled by a quail abruptly flying up. lost my line for the corner and crashed into concrete fence posts, and waratahs. 2 hrs in a ditch with multiple compound fractures in left leg. luckily no major artery severed or that'd be it
