#Christchurch #NZ The city council has released a new interactive map showing climate change risks across the city. Note, “The assessment is not intended to assess individual properties or make decisions about particular locations.” You can view the map here: ccc.govt.nz/environment/...

Example of map view. Blue coloured regions are flooding risk. You can see the large areas of flooding risk in the red zone areas to the east of the city (mostly now without houses).

All I can think of when I see him is an angry little drunk trying so hard to be tough and strong and masculine. He literally makes me sick to my stomach.

We could have been having headlines like below. Instead we have a government hellbent on making everything worse in order to line the pockets of the wealthy. "Deaths linked to air pollution fell by an estimated 40% in London over the five years from 2019, according to new analysis."

However, Imperial College team also find that pollution has worse health impact than previously understood

Within living memory, we've gone from a job for everyone to no jobs for anyone, including highly qualified graduates. Nobody under 50 has any idea what full employment prioritised over delivering profits looks like. None of this happened by accident.😡 #PeopleB4Profit #OneTermGovernment #nzpol

European seafarers were limited before the invention of clocks to determine latitude. Polynesians used astral navigation centuries earlier to become what Sir Peter Buck called the Vikings of the Sunrise.

What is the market for this product independent of support for the curriculum? I suspect it’s pretty non-existent. Which means the conflict of interest is obvious and unmanageable

'Before the tender began House of Science chief executive Chris Duggan was also added to a group helping to write the science curriculum, on Stanford's recommendation [...] she stood to gain materially from being on it.' #nzpol www.1news.co.nz/2026/10/01/l...

Conversation between Harry Mowbray and Sean Plunket provides some interesting insights. Amongst other things, wonder how much O'Brien was paid... #nzpol

Mowbray answers that he runs the campaign as an individual. He says the group first considered operating as an organisation, but the Electoral Act would have stopped them saying what they wanted to say, whereas an individual faces fewer limits. He concedes that he lacks third party status and explains the word "we" by saying friends help him around the edges. He describes his spending as very small. The group had first sought roughly $400,000 to $500,000 at a meeting at a large property, but once it grasped the legal constraints he decided to fund the campaign himself within the $17,000 limit for individuals, and he promises not to exceed it. He says he pays no commercial organisation or consultant now, though he did pay Annie O'Brien when the group first employed her, before the plan changed. He denies that any other organisation is involved, says he has talked to Jordan Williams and hosted him for lunch a few times, and insists he has never visited the Taxpayers' Union office. He adds that his son, who appears in Hager's book on pages 109 and 110, barely knew of the union. He attributes the earlier confusion to naivety about the Electoral Act, saying O'Brien and Steven Franks flagged the problems. He has not heard from the Electoral Commission and says he would welcome its guidance on how to avoid a breach.

It’s called lying. #nzpol “National leader Christopher Luxon has incorrectly suggested that an allegation about the Greens originated from the media - when it in fact came from his Minister.”

This will never stop blowing my mind. A 12-year sequence of real telescope images of a star 133 lightyears away. And around it, four planets slowly orbiting. Four real exoplanets, each more massive than Jupiter, imaged as they move around their host star.

It's October 2026. Someone at Labour needs to better appreciate the fact that RCR explicitly promotes, week after week, month after month, w/out exaggeration, exactly the same violent extremism that the ChCh killer based his 'manifesto' on. This isn't a platform that should be engaged with. #nzpol

This is not a ceasefire. It's the daily murder of unarmed Palestinians, watched in slow motion in the wing mirrors of the bullet proof limos that shuttle world leaders anywhere but there. They have failed Palestinians, their own citizens, and everyone who has fought and or strived to stop genocides.
