I see Seinfeld is coming to NZ. When in Israel he & his family went to Caliber 3, a military fantasy camp run by IOF soldiers built in the illegal settlement of Gush Etzion, where they took part in shooting simulations portraying Palestinians as "target practice". Please do not support this man.

The Government's big focus for the next few weeks is getting its tax package to add up.

New Zealand: The country is experiencing a 5th wave of COVID.

If there were suspected terrorists hiding in a hospital in the US, would you support bombing the hospital? Now do a school. Or a bakery in a densely packed, poor neighborhood. Or an apartment complex full of people. Would you call this, simply, “our right to defend ourselves”?

We had enough RATs to do test to release ….. some waste expected but this seems excessive
