The government’s stance on Palestine echoes Arendt’s “banality of evil”: officials turning genocide into paperwork and an administrative task; treating a moral abyss as mere policy risk.

Worth a read, for everyone putting the boot into Labour
@mountaintui.bsky.social doing the Mahi again to add nuanced and well researched perspective to the criticisms of NZLabour from ALL sides.
I didn't study politics and I'm no expert in political strategy but I understand that there is a game to play and have to trust Labour know what they're doing...

I Hate Labour! But...Wait...Why?
Labour suffered heavy misinformation during and post Covid. They've done well to regain public trust.

So, against my better judgement, I ordered three large, heavily discounted raised garden beds with arches from an outlet store online. "They" were delivered today. This is a picture of what arrived 🙃

I promised someone (I think perhaps you @katydidnz.bsky.social) lemons but not 100% sure who it was! Anyway, if we're mutuals and you're in Kāpiti and would like some, hit me up!

Just re-upping this because I’m hearing journalists echoing Seymour’s line. It is ABSOLUTELY NOT game over. National and NZ First still have a choice to make and we can help them make the right one. Keep going team!
On RNZ’s political panel I heard that Seymour has been saying that Nats & NZ1st HAVE to support RSB because they said they would support THE Bill in Coalition Agreements. That’s pure rhetoric: THE Bill didn’t EXIST at the time so the Agreements have to be read as contingent

Would anyone in Otautahi have a reasonably priced chest freezer for sale? Ours died in spectacular fashion yesterday, we have been able to save the food thanks to a friend having some freezer space, there's six of us in the house and we make a lot of meals to freeze. Worst possible timing for us 😭
