I forgot to mention when New Zealand went into lockdown re COVID-19, and Labour propsoed to put money aside for people to be paid etc., the National Party agreed and supported it and now the current National Party are blaming Labour for the debt they inherited...shameful!

Good, it's just filled with algorithms and ads, I spend time talking to friends over texts instead of that shit on FB

I cancelled my account with them a couple of years ago, but if you could share a screenshot of the ad I'd gratefully post it to all my other SM accounts!

There are few in the world outside my close family and friends who have made me feel heartbroken when they have passed - and Jane Goodall is one of those. My husband knows how much an animal lover I am and I've always admired the same thing in her. Jane, you will ALWAYS been remembered 💚

I am just so disappointed and ashamed of how the National Party talks about what New Zealanders want which was the reason why they decided not to acknowledge a Palestinian state. How dare they say that! They so need to go next year, VOTE THEM OUT! They have destroyed NZ and New Zealanders lives!

There was the most absurd statement put forward by the leader of the New Zealand National Party: www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360... What really annoys me is that the country was tripping along quite well, and then National came in and changed the road trip while constantly blaming the Labour Party.

Poll says more Kiwis back Labour on cost of living. They’re the ones who made this mess, says Luxon

The latest poll showed National’s perceived ability to handle the crisis was plummeting.

Just watched a short video of today's meeting between Trump and zelensky all bout him wearing "a suit" this time as it seemed back in February at that atrocious meeting one of Trumps "advisors" complained he wasn't wearing a suit. Some people's priorities are just incredible i.e. Trump "Advisors"

“Sesame Street” and its sequel, “The Electric Company,” were, “with lapses, the most intelligent and important programs in television,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.

Well, I've been watching my fair amount of YouTube lately and I've come to the realisation that the Democrats DO HAVE A VALID POTENTIAL CANDIDATE - you know who it is! It's Jasmine Crockett!!

There is so much unjust killing of innocent citizens in Palestina and it is disgusting. Every time this happens there's always an excuse of "targeting Hamas who were in that area (or building, or whatever). World leaders with experience in this field need to stand up for them and put a stop to this.

Completely agree. I was horrified and disgusted with the way President Zelenskyy was treated - I hope the whole of the EU stand up for him and provide support.

So, I'm watching "The Last Seven" on YouTube. 13 mins into it, about a chat who's woken up on the ground in London, starts walking around and there is no-one....he then sets off an alarm in a car to try and get some human response...I'm thinking "did he not see 28 Days Later????

I find it's amazing that the government is providing more sanctions for those that have lost their jobs and have gone onto a Jobseeker benefit to survive. Have a read of this: www.beehive.govt.nz/release/new-...

I agree. If you are considering taking a buyout, calculate how long it's going to last you in the current financial climate.

I really try to avoid reading any news that comes out of the US - it's just far too depressing and I feel for the people who didn't vote that man. Maybe the Democrats will stop thinking that having a celebrity can help sway the vote and get some real work happening.

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

Good to see Mr Musk is well informed - another reason to have a billionaire or two running the country. Thank heavens it's not happening here, at the moment, in NZ!

National governments in the past have sold off assets for the same reason as Luxon - no good really has come from it and it's another reason for him to help fill the coffers of his mates. So...no, I don't believe it will poll well with NZers

@bernardchickey.bsky.social - Just reading your newsletter this morning and was reminded of the PM's idea of "establishing Invest New Zealand as the Government's one-stop-shop for attracting foreign direct investment." What happened to Investment NZ who worked in the early 2000's with NZTE?
