It's overdue, and probably doomed, and I'm too old, and I don't care anymore. (he/him)

Even worse this time, because this was a credible panel assembled by Kantar they were ignoring rather than an easily gamed unscientific poll.

Dan beat me to it but it's actually a reaction to this moment... Luxon: [rules out Opportunity because 'no new taxes'] Hipkins: But you're happy to work with racists.

#nzpol winner of the nz leader’s debate is the girl in red who is not having it.
PM Luxo not looking like cheese Glam but very cranky audience member during questions on healthcare crisis. Is she a nurse?

Did our national broadcaster really just run an ad from a pharmaceutical lobby astroturf group during an election debate?

Luxon’s folksy real world examples - woman at the ballon festival, skifield operator, kiwifruit growers - serve only to underline which voters he is in touch with

Tame: "would you; fuck, marry, or kill, the Kiwibank sheep?" Chrises "the kiwibank sheep is the best of us and I would hope for her to have the best life and making that happen is what I am in politcs for, but at the end of the day after that best life ..." Tame: "disgusting"

The studio audience is 2:1 for Hipkins but the gallery will still call Winston Peters the winner.

Ok im gonna watch this stupid fucking debate of the chrises. For the record such debates are stupid and becoming even less relevant. Personally I think we should have debates within not between the potential coalition.

I really do hate the Fantasy Spreadsheet Manager game that elections have become. They were useful as statements of priorities, and yeah, in a broad sense you have to state some minuses to balance the pluses. But they are not a test of "economic management", and treating them as such is a farce.

Ross and I noticed this the other day, but yeah - anyone noticed how many families and murder suicides are happening - and then look at the reason. Austerity kills. Austerity kills. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland/...
Experts and community leaders told the Herald the killings may reflect a rise in families wrestling with financial stress, and the failure to support and treat people with serious mental health and addiction problems.

Three years ago I wrote this piece arguing that if a member of the public said something demonstrably false and harmful the media have a responsibility to do more than just reporting it verbatim. Half of the "act supporters are racist" article is just racist disinfo quoted verbatim
thespinoff.co.nz
What is the media’s responsibility when reporting trans disinformation? | The Spinoff
The media doesn't report on anti-vaccine disinfo without also including a fact check. The same should be true for clearly false anti-trans rhetoric.

If you took the $800 million National want to spend on 11km of road and shared it equally between all South Island Councils they'd each get $38 million to spend on roads which would have a wider net positive on roads than 11km of north Christchurch highway.

The 4 panel meme of a pigeon doing stand-up. The pigeon says, "I'm announcing a new road". An audience member heckles the pigeon saying "Boo. Get better material!" The pigeon, visibly distressed and speechless consults cue cards, which just say "Roads, roads,roads..."

seeing conservative men debate how to dress online is very funny. can't dress up or wear interesting casualwear bc you've made any visible interest in dress to be a sign of homosexuality. but you feel the need to dress better bc you've linked dress to respectability. a prison of your own making.

This amateur statistician has observed that the NZ media does not cover the parties in proportion to their seats in Parliament. It does not cover them in proportion to their current polling average. It does cover them approximately in proportion to their total donations #NZpol #ViciousCycle
