Well it’s not a caretaker government. And it’s certainly not a Coalition. Our nations foreign policies are being driven by a minor party leader in an election period.

Some anonymous person tried to delete a section of Harete Hipango's Wikipedia article—the bit mentioning she was caught getting a staffer to scrub info on her attending an anti-vax rally. Reinstated, article protected. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harete_...

On 27 January 2022, Hipango acknowledged that she had asked a member of her staff to edit her Wikipedia biography to remove any mention of negative or controversial issues that Hipango was involved in, including her attendance at anti-vaccination rallies. The staff member deleted the "Controversies" section of her Wikipedia page four times, identifying themselves as a staff member and therefore a person with a conflict of interest according to the Wikipedia community. Hipango later said that she regretted this request.

I presume ACT have a ban karakia policy when it comes to All Black tests? Or is the ACT anti Māori culture campaign only apply to property developers?

IKEA projected $407 million to build in Tamaki Makaurau. Now Act complain about the costs of 7 karakia on a 407 million dollar build. They’re like the rebirth of the McGillicuddy Serious Party

Happy suffrage day to those who celebrate NZ, in 1893, being the first country in which women could vote in a national election. As usual, insufficient fuss appears to be being made.

For those in the back: The total amount the New Zealand government has spent on all historical Waitangi Tribunal settlements over the last 30+ years is less than the cost of a single year of the 2024 tax cuts for Landlords.
