More dodgy AF factual information that apparently doesn’t mean there is any whiff of bilberry or corruption being committed by cabinet ministers in our NZ government. What will it take for voters to understand how utterly corrupt our democracy has become. 🤷‍♀️ #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

The bottom line for getting a Knighthood should be that you DON'T do a shit job. Many former PMs have done a fairly decent job and not received one - eg David Lange. Luxon does NOT merit such an accolade.

“In the National NZ First coalition agreement, the coalition committed to training no fewer than 500 new frontline police by the end of November 2025.” Now Mark Mitchell & Commissioner of Police are trying to say its “aspirational.” No, they were firm commitments that aren’t delivered. #nzpol

Moss. The Kepler Track is in a very wet part of the motu. It starts low, goes up through the treeline to alpine slopes where's it's mostly lichens and the wind can throw you over the side gusting to 130km, or maybe a blizzard, like the last time I walked it! A WONderful adventure every time.
