Ōtautahi peeps, check out the JazzUp Jazz Jam. We have some amazing local talent. We're into our 4th year. This Tuesday 4 Feb 7pm, we kick off 2025. No cover charge, get a drink at the bar, be surprised and often dazzled. At Good Times Comedy Club, 224 St Asaph Street.

We trusted the Ministry of Regulation to come up with the most complicated bill submission process and they have not failed us

Just a fairly average Kiwi without any special insight, but like most average Kiwis I believe in fairness and I despise self-serving politicians. Here's my submission on the Treaty Principles Bill. You're welcome to ignore it or borrow from it. Just get yours in by Jan 7th

This is outrageous. The Nats didn’t campaign on it, nor was it signalled in the Minister’s consultation. Our polytechs are part of our PUBLIC education infrastructure and there is no way that they should be up for sale. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

The brilliant Arena Williams, MP for Manurewa, describes the $$$ benefit that Winton will gain, much of it from rate/taxpayers. Us, in other words. The Hansard transcript is here too - it’s appalling stuff. Winton donated around $100k to the National Party, just as an aside. #nzpol

We’re supposed to be a democracy, right? So the questions I have are: Where’s the democratic consensus for shit canning smoke-free NZ? The ferries? The hospital? School lunches? Road safety? Environmental protections + mining bans? Māori wards? Te reo? TE TIRITI?

Local councillors have themselves to blame. Only 7 mayors out of 67 leaders had the foresight to recognise Labour’s proposed reforms were a good thing. Now we're all going to pay for their small village minds

Another great piece by John Campbell, this time about water. A follow up story would be how the likes of the TPU misled Kiwis with disinformation to derail Labour’s 3 Waters & how NAct First’s inaction will see our water infrastructure sold to overseas companies. www.1news.co.nz/2024/03/23/j...

I'm a pasty white guy from Ōtautahi and I had the rare privilege of knowing Efeso Collins. My wife and I and another Samoan friend stayed with his family for 2 nights in their state house in Otara in 1998. Here we are, Efeso on the left at Denny's, Efeso out front leading the worship band /1

"...we felt compelled to speak clearly as Christians,” he said. “To demand a cease-fire. To demand an end to U.S. military funding of the Israeli military. To call for a release of all hostages... an end to the occupation." www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
