Funny how Seymour was fine with the 24k Hobson's Pledge submissions on the TPB which were counted as one because they were identical, but people submitting against the RSB is something he's having a fucken sook about.

Two panel principal skinner meme

Panel 1: Skinner looks thoughtful, "Did 99.8% of submissions really oppose my stupid bill?"

Panel 2: "No it must be the bots"

"It's not clear what I'd be apologising for," says Chris Bishop when asked whether he'd apologise to Stan Walker. Let me help: for attending the AMAs a guest, drinking the free beer and then loudly and rudely behaving like an arse during Stan's performance. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

These are the pay equity claims that the government wiped out in just two days to make its budget balance. It's appalling that tax breaks for tobacco companies are being funded by cutting women's pay rises and backpay. (Also listed in alt text)

The Post has got some nerve running this hand wringing column about media/online attacks on Tory Whanau when they've been running a particularly nasty campaign against her for the whole time she's been in office.

Screenshot of a newspaper picture and headline. The picture is of Tory Whanau lifting a shovel of dirt at the ground breaking ceremony for the Golden Mile refurbishment project.
The headline says:
Did Tory Whanau cop worse abuse than most?

So many business-brained RWers seem to start out with the idea that running a country is actually easy and politicians & public servants pretend it’s hard cause their all on the make. They fail to understand how infinitely more complex than a business a country’s administration actually is.

We should have got Ferry 1 in FEBRUARY 2026. Ferry 2 in October 2026. We are getting NO FERRIES in 2026. Total cost of both ferries contract, $550 million. Cost of breaking the contract, up to $300 MILLION. How is this not a resigning issue for Willis?

Whilst it may not solve all of the world’s problems, I think we can all agree that having more bakeries, libraries, structures with gargoyles, quaint cafés, museums, Ukraine flags, independent bookstores, and Oxford commas would be an important first step.
