remember when winston peters was part of a national govt that allowed the rugby team from a country that had a literal apartheid regime to tour this country and broke the internationally recognised gleneagles agreement in a cynical move to retain the votes of redneck rural nz voters???
Headline that reads: Winston Peters berates Hurricanes Poua over 'redneck govt' haka.
Acting PM says their focus on politics instead of rugby is "why they got thrashed" after they called the Government "redneck".

It’s not: if we don’t decarbonize fast enough, we’ll need more CO₂ removal (CDR). It’s: If we don’t decarbonize fast enough, we’re screwed. CDR is useless unless we decarbonize drastically. CDR is for residual emissions, not luxury removal.

If it hasn’t been done already, can one of you media people please do an expose of who exactly are the main donors to Act? I think it’s of great public interest to know who’s behind this current clusterfuck

The real story is that the loss of all but a tiny fraction of the entire collection of 1.4 million images (less than 1% in total) is a disaster for NZ's cultural heritage. We are losing an invaluable photographic history of the country. Journalists should be asking how this was allowed to happen.

Will they look at the evidence? Will they listen to experts? Fifty freshwater experts have signed an open letter to Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, urging him to avoid a "terrible mistake" by reversing current freshwater policies.

In general Māori on the Māori roll consider themselves more Māori than New Zealander; for those on the gen roll the opposite is often true. The same applies for politicians on the left (Māori) and right (NZer). If you apply this then it’s clear who best represents Māori i.stuff.co.nz/national/pol...

Who in Parliament has the mandate to represent Māori?
Both the political Left and Right spent significant time debating who actually has the mandate to speak for Māori. But what do the numbers say?

Disturbing to observe Acting PM Winston Peters refuse to answer a question addressed to him in te reo Māori in NZ Parliament today. NZ has two official languages: te reo Māori and NZ sign language. The Waitangi Tribunal ruled te reo is a taonga (treasure) that NZ governments are obliged to protect.
