“The answer to ‘Where’s the money coming from?’, that neoliberal catchcry raised against every demand to improve the welfare state - not to mention paying for infrastructure or addressing climate change - is pretty obvious. It comes from ending poverty.” A great read from @simonbwilson.bsky.social

This morning at Omaha. Big shoutout to old mate who jogged right through the roosting godwits twice and left the door in the predator proof fence wide open on his way into the sanctuary. 🪶🇳🇿

It is a long shot perhaps but tracking down old funeral director records can provide helpful information. Good luck.

A full room and over 300 joining online - this is a large audience, politically aware and will show up to vote. Still can't believe National sent a newbie who hadn't been briefed properly (10 different times she said, I haven't been briefed on that, when asked a question 😳)

Kapiti Island as a wildlife sanctuary has been another " low key" success. Citizen predation trapping has also seen our variety of birdlife flourish here in Porirua. It is a joy. My late father would be beyond delighted.

Tika was formed by barrister Zoë Lawton and investigative journalist Alison Mau. Frustrated by statistics that only 10% of survivors ever report, they identified a tech-led, collective action model as the best way to break systemic barriers, and support survivors as they seek justice.

Right now, the richest pay $9 in tax for every $100 they make, while a teacher pays $22. The Greens would give 96% of earners an income tax cut, paid for not by cuts to public services, but ensuring the super wealthy pay their fair share.

Great reporting in The Post on the 'softened' school sick-day guidance. Reports how Health NZ did not assess the risks. Now, hospitals are cancelling surgeries while late-winter flu surges. Prioritising bums on seats over public health has consequences. 1/4 www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361...
