Stuff poll on the Gower article.

Who's going to be the first to make a citizens arrest of Shane Jones for corruption?

Today, I tried a lunch from the School Lunch Collective, and I'm hungry, underwhelmed, and the aftertaste is not good. Read more below. howmelulaterseesit.blogspot.com/2025/02/i-tr...

Paul Goldsmith copping severe friendly fire from Employers & Manufacturers Assn and RetailNZ over easier citizen's arrests. 'Dangerous escalation', likely offenders 'swarm' in numbers, come prepared for violence - EMA 'Grave fears', & 'people will get hurt or killed' - Retail NZ

You see someone grabbing a co-worker by the upper arm. Is this (i) a Crimes Act assault allowing you to arrest them and tie them up until the Police arrive; or (ii) a Summary Offences Act assault, in which case you cannot. Answer quickly!

An absolute shambles. David Seymour should be sacked. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

I saw the below and thought that's a heck of a claim. So let's examine how National got here. A 🧵

This gov is a toxic hell hole.. #nzpol www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Jo Moir keeping up the questions on the Bayly resignation timeline. Points out the hypocrisy of the Nats giving him the extra time when they had different 'very high standards' when they were in opposition. Also comments about brave Sir Luxon running off to Vietnam. Worth a listen.

Revoke his citizenship and force the sale of his property. He's neither of good character nor doing anything for our economy.

The world has officially turned inside out. "someone sneaked a sexy guitar riff into the New Zealand national anthem" From cricinfo.

Jo Moir quite scathing about the number of days grace Bayly had. Pretty large clue as to why it was kept hush hush until today - "Luxon heading to Vietnam on Tuesday for a trade and business visit". Trying to avoid having days of scrutiny.

Dear Manager, 1. Woke up 2. Got out of bed 3. Dragged a comb across my head. 4. Found my way downstairs and had a smoke 5. and somebody spoke and I went into a dream ....

Bit of a nasty trick they played on Bayly.

National MP Andrew Bayly resigns over 'inappropriate' incident with a staff member which he minimises in a statement but he had to resign which means it was more egregious than he says. Imo, half of ACT MPs and NZF MOs should also be gone but Luxon’s own negotiating ineptness means he can’t insist.

Domestic violence advocates have been warning that Destiny’s Man Up programme is dangerous for years. Police and the courts keep using it. www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-dept...

PM Christopher Luxon has a plan for handling David Seymour and NZ First. My Stuff #cartoon today #NZpol

"The Herald has confirmed the image remains available online and has also been posted to social media." Well, yes, one of those online places being the New Zealand Herald website. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/sorry-foo...

Sacking one security officer (who will undoubtable get reemployed) should not let Foodstuffs and the police off the hook. They are just as culpable

it would be really cool if a reporter were able to make more of this than i am, a private citizen with no reach.

I think Jonathan Pie has hit a record for cuss words. Don't watch with young kids around 😂. Methinks he isn't the biggest fan of Farage 😜 youtu.be/Jk0nUUqG_Ag?...

Turns out David Seymour couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery: 'It's pretty bad, I hate it': Hundreds of school lunches going uneaten www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

In the case of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, there can be no "neutral." You either support the victim, or you don't. By not acting to oppose evil, you enable it.

Movies you’ve watched more than six times, GIFs only”

@billbrowder.bsky.social talking sense as always. Sounds like European Foreign Ministers largely agree with him on Russia's frozen assets. Give them to Ukraine. All of them. @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk youtu.be/Z_xV1nf44RA?...

I have lodged a formal complaint with the charities regulator asking that Destiny Church’s charities be struck off because of serious wrongdoing last weekend in my Te Atatu electorate. 1/3

Government trying hard to kill Kiwis with their Health NZ cuts. No-one is reporting on it, except one masthead of Stuff - without promotion of course Nice to see Simeon on his best behaviour as he refuses to answer questions, hiding behind "under investigation" as an excuse #kiwi #nzpol

Luxon's Law: for every action, there is an equal and pathetic inaction...

#NZ “…all of the six women who were on the leadership team in July last year have jumped, been pushed or demoted. None has survived. Half of the 10 men are still there.” 👇

Trump is no Chamberlain - he’s a Quisling.

How very dare someone use the term "Aotearoa" as a te reo reference to the country called "New Zealand" in English?

Way past time both Brownlee and Peters retired. Peters for racism and Brownlee for stupidity coupled with racism
