Living large and happy in the Bay of Plenty NZ - found myself to be more left wing as I get older - firm believer in the need for action on climate change, poverty, and equity for women, LGBTIQA+ and Māori all those things empower the world to be better.

I am just going to leave this here - I have expressed my thoughts on Alphabet Inc and their cowardice

And so begins the next phase in the Kakistocracy that America has decided to turn into.

Love days like today - a walk through the bush with the family lunch at a seaside cafe and then a dip in the nice warm ocean. The best part I cannot remember that last time I heard the orange man’s voice.

I have a lot of feelings about what David Seymour said in his "State of the Nation" speech today but they all boil down to one simple statement. David Seymour can go and F*CK himself with a canoe - sideways.

Any day in the next 4 years when I don't hear his voice is a gift and I will cherish it!

Would the new Minister for the South Island have anything to do with the ferry debacle? I mean post Kaikoura and Christchurch earthquakes which hit large parts of the island just got a Minister for recovery of those areas - so what’s changed other their ham fisted handling of the ferry issue?

What an absolute DB bag - it hasn't crossed his enfeebled brain that we can have both? Regulations to protect people from earthquakes AND funding for cancer drugs that saves lives.

Yes CEO who don’t meet KPIs but also Public organisations that don’t met the KPIs set out by Ministers That could be judges, doctors university professors too Maybe I think too much www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/high-inco... High-income workers lose unjustified dismissal claim rights under new policy

When Act Party has lost big daddy Roger it shows they aren't what they were! www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Super happy Liam Lawson has a seat in a major F1 team for 2025 but why did it have to be RBR?? Why not Mercedes or even better a McLaren!?

I hear the economy has reduced again by 1% - wow so glad we have the fiscally competent party in charge of the Treasury benches it is making all the difference. Yeah keep telling me why a tax cut will fix all the problems we have

The vast majority of people in Western nations are a 1 serious economic crisis from living in their car or on the streets + capitalism for someone to have lots someone has to have a lot less. Never look down on someone suffering because they are direct out come of the system & it could be you

Because I have not seen much rugby in this big beautiful Blue Space - there has to be a bit of Blackness!

As much as I wish this would make a difference - the reality is that it is a Hail Mary sort of action - there is no way KCIII will do anything www.theguardian.com/world/2024/d...

You know age is kicking your butt when you have to change the size of the cursor on your computer. Not quite to the point of changing the colour but getting there!

And yet the Government is still trying to make public transport options harder and harder and therefore reinforcing their own stupid arguments.

I’m just going to leave this here.
