Hey Bluesky New Zealand!! Can you help spread the message this weekend?! Yeah sure this is just one video, but so many people haven’t enrolled yet and don’t realise they are running out of time. Thank you! 🇳🇿

#BREAKING Labour will ban price gouging. New Zealanders are working hard. They deserve a fair price for the essentials.

I thought I had almost lost my mother's rose, but I pruned it hard and repotted it, and it has lovely new growth appearing.

Hey, @dreddieclark.bsky.social! You mentioned an SFF writer yesterday who has a pax romana series and has a last book in that series coming out and I was intrigued. I've gone back through your timeline but couldn't find the skeet. 🙁 Could you repeat the deets for me?

Here's how much cash you get each week if the student loan repayment rate goes down to 10%. If you earn $30,000pa, you'll get $2 per week. $50,000pa → $10 per week $70,000pa → $18 per week $90,000pa → $25 per week $110,000pa → $33 per week $130,000pa → $41 per week

Interested in how Labour would improve National’s RMA replacement bills? Have a look in the Post. Since the interview the Minister has introduced huge amendments to enable more pollution. Bad. This week we will be in the House. My aim is to do better for both efficiency and for our environment.

I'm on a very quick trip to Brisbane for a family event and I'm waiting for my flight and there is a digger picking up big lumps of concrete and dropping them to break them up and it's very entertaining. Alas, the video doesn't capture the faint tremor that arrives 1/2 a second after the drop.

It's a huge credit to our democracy that people who were born in other countries can become Members of Parliament. Priyanca Radhakrishnan, Vanushi Walters, Melissa Lee, Mahesh Bindra, Russell Norman, Lawrence Xu-nan, Andy Foster, and many others. It makes us better.

I made Anzacs to get myself through a 6 hour Zoom select committee meeting but I ran out of white sugar so I had to substitute 1/2 coconut sugar and they are truly excellent. Golden brown, crisp on the outside, slightly chewy in the middle, and utterly delicious,
30 or so small golden biscuits (cookies for USians) in a biscuit container.
