So these were taken on my walk to work, from an inner suburb to the city fringe (Karori to Kelburn, for locals). I grew up in the area, and I absolutely would never have seen these birds in people's front yards 30 years ago. Wellington & its people made a choice to bring them back & we succeeded.

8/10 is also the average number of nights Napier's (pop. >60,000) Health NZ Overnight Medical services have been closed recently. Napier's National MP has failed to fix that. Three Hawke’s Bay MPs unintentionally score themselves the same for their first term www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-t...

Wild claim to make in the face of Greens setting multiple discourse shifts over the last month and, as Sacha alludes to, the overt censure of Green policy announcements *alongside* giving David Seymour and Winston Peters constant headlines and columns of verbatim press release.

A cartoon by Chris Slane (slanecartoon.com). It shows: on the left, a grey haired white man sitting behind a wooden desk with a curved window behind him. On a sofa to the right, two people are sitting: a man in a blue suit and a woman wearing a red jacket. The man is saying, “Minister, to avoid F.O.I. requests all our advice will be in sign language.” The cartoon shows the woman is moving her hands in different ways as she translates that statement into sign language. The face of the man behind the desk looks disconcerted and worried.

this is extremely funny Simon Watts made Councils meet a three month deadline, which they all did. He set the September deadline for a decision, which he has failed to do. He is now using his self imposed deadline to criticise Councils annoyed that they did their part and he isn't doing his.

In response to Little’s reaction, Watts said “I‘d suggest that we leave the political campaigning to central government politicians and local government to focus on their core tasks of delivering services for ratepayers.”

“I‘m not going to stand here and try and rush through a decision six weeks out from an election that puts at risk an enduring reform in this sector,” Watts said.

“We need to get this right.”

If you're wondering why the media will give Farrar, Williams a good old run at denying everything without being specific or proving anything, it's because Hager criticises the media for their uncritical platforming of both of them and calls them lazy which is 100% correct.

Hager also criticised the media's role, suggesting it contributed to poor transparency.

"Despite all their undeclared political machinations, both Farrar and Williams are often interviewed uncritically in the mainstream media - far more often than most genuinely independent experts and commentators.

"At the time of writing, for instance, Radio New Zealand had interviewed Farrar about 600 times since 2007, an astonishing amount of coverage considering that he is one of the least independent people available. He is often introduced with labels such as 'polling company maestro', while Williams is given labels such as 'anti-waste campaigner'. It is lazy journalism."

Just want to point out "we call him because he always answers the phone & is ready to respond on record" is a long long way from best practise for a public broadcaster. Will anything change as a result of revelations like these? Only if RNZ mgmt drops its commercial-radio-in-all-but-name culture.
