Luxon signed up to a coalition deal then didn’t meet spokespeople from the hikoi, didn’t attend Waitangi, didn’t attend the second reading of Treaty Principles Bill. If you sign up to a stink deal then at least front up to it.

I’d be amazed if Iran feel like that is the full reprisal. I suspect Iran will now rebuild their nuclear program having shifted their enrichment stores before the strikes on fordow. Playing the long game, Trump just strengthened their resolve.

A fantastic turn out for the hui for health public meeting last night. Heart wrenching accounts of our health practitioners going above and beyond and not receiving the support they deserve. It is an indictment on all of us that we’ve collectively let it get so dire.

Train wreak rnz interview with Mark Mitchell. He never knows his own numbers and says they don’t know but ‘hopes’ tougher sentences will mean a reduction in serious crime, despite numbers saying the opposite.

In front of bright minds, including Noam Chomsky’s daughter, the bow tie-clad deputy PM opposed the moot “No One Can Be Illegal on Stolen Land”. At first he was nervous, but then his imposter syndrome...

Sea level will rise fast even if we limit global warming to 1.5°C
Satellite observations show the ice sheets are melting faster than expected, and slowing sea level rise to a manageable rate would require lowering the global temperature below the current level
