Who would have thought that deliberately focusing on clean air would have tangible public health benefits? Amazing. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Air traffic controllers are required by law to retire at 56. It is a high-stress, high-intensity job that requires intense focus. The retirement rules are there to keep us all safe. This fucking guy has no clue what's he's doing.

What’s happening in the US is the natural consequence of electing people who regard all critics as both enemies and their criticism as purely politically motivated which is a problem when you believe in conspiracy theories and your critics are people who believe in facts.

"Mining is the way to prosperity," sez Luxon. Okay. But but how do we achieve prosperity when our commodities royalties are a fraction of those of most other countries, or... free? Ahhh, I get it. It wasn't NZ's prosperity he was talking about, it was that of large corporations. #nzpol

What does it take? Incarceration? Seizure of assets? We might need some bigger sticks to stop/prevent this kind of criminal disregard. Honestly, I wanted to be sick: Northland man's wetland destruction leads to court order for remediation

Like other economists I'm being asked to comment on Trump tariffs. We should do so - it's our job. But first we should make the point stated eloquently here by @alanbeattie.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/c26b...

When you see the things you fought for, come to life! Took this “after shot” of Te Hā Noa on the way to the bus. What was two lanes of road, is now part of our growing urban forest where people & birds can stop and enjoy the city centre instead of just walking ordriving through.

Luxon also agreed to let libertarian think tank consultants rewrite the entire education system, the former head of the gun lobby to rewrite gun regulations, a former farming head to rewrite environmental protections and [now it seems] to sacrifice public good services that don't make a profit.

Lost a friend today I respected so very much. He was a source of ideas, support and encouragement to so many and made a huge, positive difference without ever seeking the limelight for himself. I wish the world had more people like him. Auē

After simeon ‘anti-abortion’ brown saying the right wing National party isn’t going to touch abortion legislation, I’d like to point out that they are already going after funding and access. You can stuff abortion services just fine without legislation. #nzpol
