I cannot state any more baldly or clearly than I already have about what an immense menace RFK Jr. is. The number of preventable illnesses and deaths - of *babies* - will be horrific. This anti-vax crap is grotesque anti-science, and always has been.

We've had MMP for 30 fucking years and media/research groups can't help but treat everything as "National-led coalition" vs "Labour-led coalition", and this is honestly one of the biggest failings of our democratic process.

Fires are terrible, they absolutely must be put out, the people who do that dangerous and unpleasant work should be paid extremely well.
