What did Sinead Boucher say about her network being used to platform fellow "Better Wellington" wanna-be oligarchs? Two features on two prominent members (Fran Wilde & James Cameron) on Stuff's landing page today. For balance, what are the chances Stuff runs a Tory Whanau puff-piece next Sunday?

Our household will be at Albert Park today to use our voices in support of the LGBTQIA+ community and against the stochastic terrorism by Destiny Church and some members of the current Govt cabinet. When LGBTQIA+ are under attack. Step up. Fight back.

Let’s see if he still wants to remove all traffic lights in Wellington so he can drive from the Hutt to the Airport without having g to stop. Which he argued with me about on Twitter before blocking me after I asked how people in Wellington would be able to cross the street.

I am fucking sorry but as someone with an interest in politics I have followed along with news of the teacher shortage for 4 or 3? years so who ran a projection & thought there could possibly be: "a surplus of 1050 primary teachers and 61 secondary" and who believed it up till NOW? #NZPol

At the press conference, McConnell stated, "I already broke everything there is to break. Time to die. I really hate you all." He had more prepared remarks but once again did a full reboot in public and ran out of time.
