this is almost certainly the result of the previously-announced "donation" (which is really a write-off of overstock pulling double duty as a promotion for the upcoming show)
this is what that looks like in practice. "here, throw this away for me" northeasttimes.com/2026/08/27/h...

![Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

![DPS steps in as Chris Hipkins confronted by man on the campaign trail
Labour leader Chris Hipkins has been confronted by a man ahead of his media stand up in Mt Albert.
A Dignitary Protection Service [DPS] officer, who is part of a specialised branch of the NZ Police responsible for providing personal security to key national figures, could be seen with his arm outstretched as the man approached the group. It appears the man was given a push by the DPS officer.
Hipkins said he didn’t hear what the person said to him.
“Every now and then you get someone who disagrees with you. I didn’t actually hear what he said.”
An unidentified person could be heard saying, "he's a conspiracy theorist".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fgzfhfg2yvy3xe4uyjcvtlee/bafkreigl4wh4zo4lwhqdoj5azid3kvabm3kg2ftbfr5gpamzed56p7p2xu)
