If you're not sure why Pikachu is shocked, the clue is in the first sentence. Success for our health system isn't measured by equal access and outcomes, or the wellbeing of whānau and communities; it's the "waiting lists reduced by x amount" press releases Ministers of Health want to publish

If accurate, this is farcical. & inconsistent with the basics of good legislative practice, making it crystal clear the Bill isn't a good faith attempt to improve such. Insincere & undemocratic. & adds to a lack of legitimacy making it v easy for the next govt to justify repealing immediately.

A shame to see a total setting up of Dame Anne Salmond here, same as the RNZ Panel which included Atlas member Tim Wilson. Let's continue showing our support and tautoko for our brave academics speaking out against these anti-democratic politicians and for our freedom.

The fact that extremely mainstreamed voices on the right are now doing this, which used to be the domain of dirty operators like Whale Oil, is utterly disgusting. ACT in particular have cultivated a mob of angry online followers just waiting for a target. And silence from the politics knowers.

Got RNZ The Panel on in the car and they did a piece with Dame Anne Salmond about Seymour's online harassment; Wallace Chapman asks, twice, whether it ought to be framed as satire. No it shouldn't. It's targeted harassment based upon political bias by our DPM using parliamentary signage.

If greens are with 8% party vote were setting the legislative agenda in the way ACT is and hogging ministerial portfolios there would be pages and pages of op eds about their threat to democracy. In any case I guess thank you ACT for setting precedence. LESHGO MMP.

Wellington Water is doing 24/7 works (God forbid Khandallahns sit in CBD traffic) for the next FORTNIGHT on our street. There was no notice whatsoever given to our building. WW Team Lead says that they simply neglected to send out the notices. It's no fucking wonder the organisation is a shambles!

A day of terrible echoes: Napoleon's troops began crossing into Russia today in 1812. 129 years later, Hitler's Wehrmacht did the same. A force of 3 million men invaded: unleashing the largest and most destructive conflict in history.

Rubio confirms the suspicion that Iran was not constructing a nuclear weapon, the US did not attack based on new intel, and Israel's claim that an Iranian bomb was imminent is BS (though if you parse non-Bibi statements, they say high enrichment, not bomb construction). So I guess there's that.

My very apolitical friend just said to me ‘No one f*cks with North Korea. Why do you think that is?’ Yep. There’s a clear message for a lot of Global South and Middle Eastern countries tonight. Sadly. And it isn’t a nonproliferation message.

Wellington needs council candidates to focus on serious, affordable, high value for money projects they can actually deliver. Bus lanes, especially on the Harbour Quays, are a good example. Saving 10 mins for each of the 70,000 bus trips people take each day through the city is a very big deal. 1/

This is the same party that is pushing on universities compulsory ‘free speech policies’ which they claim are necessary to protect academic freedom. It’s about controlling certain types of speech and speakers.
