The fact that disgraced National MP Chris Penk is now writing opinion pieces on the election for Stuff News is a real bad look for Stuff News. Why would Penks political opinion be anything but bias? He literally campaigned for National Party THIS YEAR

This is really stupid, but the president has repeatedly claimed that Iran’s military capabilities were totally destroyed, so I feel obligated to rhetorically ask what the US is shooting at and retaliating to if Iran has no military anymore? Why does anyone indulges such transparent lies at all?

The FSU's vision of free speech is that free speech *prevents* a gay man from speaking out against anti queer bigotry. This is 'insitutional neutrality' operating as its architects intend.

$15b in weather losses over the past decade. Moa Point dumped 70m litres of raw sewage into Wellington Harbour. Groundwater contamination is rising. Half our rivers are unsafe to swim. Budget 2026 drops water spend from $127m (2026) → $35m (2027) → $5m/yr (2028–30). Make it make sense.

The CRL is a rational answer to transporting people in a big city. However it was opposed by all the usual right wing suspects. It took concerted campaigning by so many civil society organisations to get it going. Its opening will be a great victory for people power www.1news.co.nz/2026/05/03/c...

We shovel $10bn per year into the pockets of offshore companies to buy fuel - and that was before prices went nuts. You could easily employ every unemployed young person in NZ for $10bn - and buy thousands of solar panels.
Last week, its UK rival Shell said it anticipated “significantly higher” oil trading profits for the quarter.

Analysts have been upgrading their profit forecasts, with the US bank Citi raising its estimate for BP by 20% to $2.6bn adjusted net income in the January to March quarter - despite flat oil and gas production.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will
a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.

Behind every number. Since 2022 the number of New Zealand children living in hardship has increased by 47,500. Seems like that’s by design. My #cartoon #Children #Hardship #poverty #NZpol #families #whānau
Cartoon. title: “Behind Every Number” Eight frames. In each frame, except the last one, is a child holding up a number. Numbers 1-6 have smiling, laughing children. Number seven has a sad child with the number 7 forming part of a banned symbol over their face. The last frame says, “One in seven NZ kids live in hardship. Up 47,500 since ‘22”

Men, it's worth pondering that these academic men are the same ones that teach young women straight out of school. These are the men given academic authority over young women's careers. It's really challenging for young women to negotiate the minefield of creepiness these men create for them.
