Sorry you had to wait 10 months for your cancer surgery – a politician needed to save 10 minutes getting to the airport.
$4 BILLION to save 'up to 10 minutes' during peak traffic. Fucking hell - imagine what that $4B could do for housing, education, health, etc, in Aotearoa.

I wear all sorts of jewelry. I have pierced ears and like my "danglers" especially if they're sparkly. I love necklaces too. Rings have to be adjustable as I have had arthritis in my hands since I was 16.
Going to move this question for #SecretSantaAoNZ forward a few days since it's come up.
What jewellery do you wear? Necklaces? Bracelets? Clip-ons or pierced earrings? Rings? Anklets? Arm bands? Gold? Silver? Pewter? Copper? Or plastic like Hoggle?

Officials were against the move and Labour say he shouldn’t have been anywhere near the decision.

Epstein's "house man" (John Alessi) is the person who circled the names in the Black Book. The book went to the FBI and he circled the names in the book to indicate persons who were directly involved in the trafficking.

Donald Trump's name is one of those circled.

HDPA in full victim blaming mode here. Let's remember Ms Z was:
1. 20 years his junior
2. A player he coached in sport
3. His employee
4. Threatened by him over job
5. Blackmailed by him threatening to release intimate photos
6. Constantly told no one would believe her
It's not just one bad apple Mr Mitchell but many more that failed to protect and care for this woman.

It bears remembering that this woman, according to the IPCA report, sent at least 36 emails to media outlets, presumaby including NZME, as well as the PM, Police Minister, and police command in Dec 2023 & Jan 2024, and they did fuck-all about it too

It is worth noting that this is a pattern amongst the likes of media, who inevitably paint a woman who has laid harassment, assault, rape, etc allegations against men as somehow less than pure & innocent, thus casting aspersions on her validity, with whatever denials that this is what they're doing.

Perspective with Heather du Plessis-Allan: The woman in the Jevon McSkimming saga wasn't innocent here
So it turns out the woman with whom Jevon McSkimming had an affair, whose warnings police ignored and who police charged instead of investigating McSkimmin

I submitted against it.
Coup. The word is coup.
There were 159,000 written submissions on the Regulatory Standards Bill (on top of over 23,000 submissions last year) - numbers that are second only to the Treaty Principles Bill in NZ’s history.

More than 98% of public submissions were opposed.

There’s a word for this, but it’s not democracy.
