Here is the last 500 days of available covid data (except covid deaths, which are coming off an extraordinary low period and I don't include on this graph anyway because the data is a result indicator rather than being timely enough to do anything about)

To add, via the respiratory dashboard linked to in the article (which updates Thursdays), for the jump in Auckland hospitalisations (basically the Sentinel measure) it is most viruses increasing prevalence at the same rate, rather than one thing in particular (pretty much everything went up by 50%)

Just spoke with @russelnorman.bsky.social ( @greenpeace.org.nz & ex- MP) about the Regulatory Standards Bill — a libertarian Trojan horse that could block climate action, democracy & public interest laws. Essential listening. 🎧 #NZpol #RSB #RegulatoryStandardsBill #ClimateJustice #CoherentPodcast

This data is mind-blowing. Nearly three out of four people (72%) surveyed across G20 countries support making it a criminal offence for governments and leaders of corporations who cause serious damage to nature or the climate. Justice is coming.

What happened today will reverberate around the world. Banning Te Pāti Māori MPs' for the parliament haka is entirely disproportionate. Absolutely disgraceful. Dark day for our democracy. #NZPol

National is in a coalition with a party that is courting the anti-vaxx conspiracy vote, and with a party that wants to slash, burn and blow up what it considers "waste" in the government. But do tell me how TPM's recent behaviour is a problem for Labour. #nzpol

So New Zealand is a tin pot banana Republic after all. Expelling elected MPs from Parliament for weeks. Makes Trump look like the apprentice! #nzpol

Brilliant korero from Adrian Rurawhe on a partisan Privileges Committee report, parties finding a way through instead, and how it can shape future parliaments. #NzPol

Bizarre! Nicole McKee in favour of loosening restrictions on real semi-automatic rifles but wants tighter restrictions on Te Pati Māori pointing finger guns🙄

11pm Sunday night (1/6/2025) near Motukarara south of Ōtautahi ChCh, NZ when the KP8 Ngā Kurakura o Hinenuitepō #Aurora Australis was at its peak. I'm not lying when I say I haven't saturated this image at all. Look how much ambient warm light was illuminating the foreground. #Nikon #Photography

Where is the new stalking legislation that was promised? Every woman in Aotearoa just got yet another reminder: we’re vulnerable targets, with perpetrators blatantly, consistently protected by a patriarchy that consistently uses misogyny as an enforcer - and a weapon. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3607...

"Just one more thing, sir. Since the election, you've announced 12 projects in foreign countries: the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, India, Qatar, & Oman. You got a $400 million jet, sold meme coins, $600 sneakers, Chinese bibles, & hats. How is any of this making America great?"

The continued Privileges debate is at 3pm ❤️🤍🖤 Everyone’s fixated on punishment length, privilege, civility The haka wasn’t the problem, it was the spark🔥 It moved people here & around the world.l Unapologetically Māori. Unapologetically tangata Te Tiriti That’s what liberation looks like #NZPol

Main thing this article tells us is that media framing of this, & the narrative they've built is literally unhinged from reality it is a fact that the punishment is unprecedented & disproportionate - it's the media platforming of political PR & racism that created this. this article is part of it

"all the submissions on the RSB were fake and written by bots" is just a wee step away from "stop the steal" aye, we recognise that, right?
