I had porridge with egg whites mixed in it (which made the porridge lighter and fluffier) to see if that will actually keep me full. The porridge was delicious — the recipe had you cook the oats with banana and cinnamon so the banana kinda melted through the oats 😋

I want to talk about Pihema Cameron, the 15-year-old kid chased and killed by Bruce Emery in 2008 in Auckland. Every "law and order" "tough on crime" commentator and politician of the day FELL OVER THEMSELVES to make excuses for Emery. "He was frustrated". "Defending his home" etc

"Public Service Minister Judith Collins said “unions are very clearly wanting to take on the government and the New Zealand taxpayers”. Ummm, union members ARE tax payers. In fact, since union members get paid a little better, they're paying MORE tax. And people on PAYE prob pay more than business
