All right, I give up. This guy has to go and be replaced by a smart young woman. Or else we are all mad max bound.

Makes sense when you see crime as a vehicle to whip up fear and votes backed by a vengeance based prison system.
The only sense in which prison works is in its ability to scare up votes. Doesn't matter what it costs. System relies on recidivism.

It's interesting how it is something that the Tories tried in the UK too. I wonder if it is a trigger thing for Angry Old White People?

Because Brooke Van Velden had to read a safety pamphlet once and it was very boring and went on and on for, like, minutes.

RNZ reports; Mr. Peters, Mr. Seymour and Mr. Luxon said that they could no longer carry on in the face of the tidying up occurring all around them. They asked the Governor General to hold a new election and only allow Te Pati Māori, The Greens and Jacinda Ardern as New Labour head to contest it

CNN Reports: Mr Vance and Mr. Trump's surprise resignations and admissions of being Russian spies seems to have been caused by two posters on Bluesky cleaning their kitchens while another ate a sandwich. These actions also seem to be responsible for EMusk, JBezos and JKRowling fleeing the earth.

I have cleaned the benches in our kitchen. Take that, world!

I am only surprised that Tr0mp did not show this as evidence of crime in South Africa.

We are, generally, so deluded as to make The Matrix look like a doco.

This is like during the St. John Key years. People talked about the old NZ as though it was 1950s Poland without the tanks. Now they romanticise those days as happy and carefree. This country is largely built on lies, though.

In the next 18 months, pay close attention to exactly what parties or politician, locally & nationally, says about how they plan to fix the infrastructure gap in NZ, improve end of life systems and services and importantly, who's paying for it all. Because there's no more can to kick down the road.

More than an actual flounder, I felt. They obviously did not foresee such difficult questions. "I'm just here to talk about safety, Jack. Everyone wants safety in the workplace, or immunity from prosecution, anyway."

Yes, also quite Luxonish in the businesspeak garbage. Not used to being questioned, I think.

I hate this phrasing of "a shake-up". A shake up is looking for a coloured pencil in your pencil tin, this is smashing people's lives because you don't like or understand science.

Also, our family has been hit doubly hard: Cam by the tariffs decimating the tabletop game industry, and me by doing teacher training which means a big cut in my hours/pay even as I follow my dream career. So if you know anyone in AoNZ who wants NCEA tutoring, put in a good word for me! #kikorangi

Of course Winston First knew nothing of what he was yapping about. I felt that the hat would be a symbol but I wouldn't have commented on it. I think that Parliament should be place to discuss people's ideas not what they are wearing. But I'm not nationalist sellout to colonialism as NZ First is.

Yes, this is the Key government's legacy.

I brought this up on twixter to some anti-vax spouter who had told me "it was only the old who died, my covid was very mild and only took 4 days" No reply came back.
