The idea that people having a holiday is the reason the economy sucks, rather than a vindictive government and business leaders trying to squeeze every last drop out of exhausted, underpaid people is oblivious and cruel.

Air NZ are using Air Wamos as a “wet charter” and it was honestly the worst long haul flight i have ever experienced. lots of little micro things adding up to an awful experience. the flight was delayed one hour, but landed two hours late. earphones for entertainment were issued one hour into flying

Sad to report that we've lost another #kakapo, and a particularly significant one. Solstice was the last kākāpō rediscovered, found on Rakiura in 1997. She died on the weekend as a result of complications from the #disease cloacitis. There are now 237 kākāpō left. #conservation #parrots #birds

New Zealand’s Government has chosen not to join countries - including the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada - who have recognised Palestinian statehood in recent weeks.
