This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

A woman who rang ABC Sydney radio said she found out about the Optus outage from her cat.

The cat has an automatic wi-fi feeder (connected to Optus) & when breakfast wasn't delivered at 6:10 am, the cat went to the bedroom to lodge a complaint with management.

How Peters and Seymour react when they incite political violence, btw. And there are numerous examples of them doing this. The fact that this dichotomy exists, and that media and some politicians are buying into it, is a signal of increasing fascism, for whatever that’s worth.

Text from a 2023 Stuff article (link below)

Wright again attempted to push Peters on the issue, saying it was "bubbling over".

Peters interrupted: "No, you'll be better informed when this is over and so will the media, but you're not going to win this campaign."

On Friday, Māori leaders called for an end to dog-whistling and racial division in an open letter - which was dismissed by ACT leader David Seymour as "purely political".

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3608... Luxon giving his 'best' advice to unemployed youth... #NzPol #Caricature #Cartoon #PoliticalCartoon #EditorialCartoon #Luxon

Cartoon. Title: Youth 'Pep' talk...

A tiny Luxon is in the hall talking to young people. He's standing on a stool with his hand casually in his pocket lecturing a room of youth.

He's saying, "The world doesn't owe you a living! BUT... if you grow up to be a landlord..."

In the audience over 20 young people with varying expressions react to his speech. One in particular is looking at us with a distinct angry face.

Lazy Luxon short on fact checking, again, before he makes major policy changes. The lack of "real life" intel is staggering inside this coalition govt. Orchards not 'crying out' for workers right now, fruit growers say www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Yep, it's the same old "bash a beneficiary" or "lazy youf" rhetoric to gain a couple of votes. Lazy Luxon chasing 4000 kids to save approx $1.3M year but won't chase Destiny church charitable trust or Gloriavale, with charities estimated to be avoiding $2.0B year in tax avoidance.

How did banks pump in so much new credit $? Easy, we got banks to print obscene amounts of $ so that we could pump up house prices and shower older, wealthy kiwis with tax-free capital gains. The 1990s provided the template for the 2000s & 2010s (when racheting down interest rates helped). [5/n]

It's worth pausing here to see what's going on. Public debt (pink) was whittled down through to 2008 but private debt (blue) growth more than compensated. The expansion of the private sector balance sheet fueled our growth. Weird that this obvious 'structural deficit' gets no press, ay? [5/n]

I *am* generally of the view that the country couldn't have continued on the trajectory 9 years of Muldoon had set it on. But we didn't have to become the country Douglas and Richardson made us, either. Douglas drove people out of work & Richardson made sure those people lived in poverty.

Remember when Helen Clark was Prime Minister as well as the Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage? Remember how New Zealand music was nurtured and flourished in the early 2000's? That's how a politician should be a fan of the Arts. By actively fucking supporting them.

Being told to "shut up you dickhead" by Don McGlashan is literally the worst thing that can happen to you as a New Zealander

Renowned musician Don McGlashan was seen on the video confronting Bishop, but McGlashan said he did not realise at first that it was the minister.

"I could hear an enormous amount of ranting, kind of against the whole thing. I didn't get the full gist of it, but it was basically - 'the hīkoi is ages ago, sit down everybody' - so this geezer was just ranting away and telling everybody to sit down," McGlashan said.

"After a while I turned to him and said 'ah shut up you dickhead' and I looked at him and I thought, oh I know that face. Then he said 'what did you say to me?'".

McGlashan said that he again told Bishop to "shut up you dickhead and he said 'I could say the same to you', and I said, well I wasn't talking and you were. And then I realised I was talking to the leader of the house".

It's a very curious moment when a female minister of parliament is more concerned about the words directed at her than the financial equity of underpaid women. Should we be concerned more about words or more about women being able to support themselves.

And OF COURSE it's two "wealthy and sorted" ladies who are happily capitalizing on Nationals desperate need for a distraction from the disastrous destruction of pay equity for women. Zero solidarity for pay equity from that quarter.
