Fonterra makes $3.4b profit after sale of Kiwi brands to France. Farmers share in $20b in cash returns while outgoing CEO Miles Hurrell, Nicola Willis's old boss, nets $8.2m Fonterra sent NZ law requests to Luxon's Chief Policy Advisor in secret & National implemented it #nzpol #BHN

"National has used footage of crimes committed during its own time in government in an election advertisement accusing Labour of “gaslighting” New Zealanders over crime." www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...

stuff.co.nz

Crime footage in ad accusing Labour of 'gaslighting' happened under National's watch

Christopher Luxon has brushed off criticism of National using crimes from its own term in an anti-Labour ad, saying the focus should be on falling crime figures.

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?

The Beatles banned segregated audiences, contract shows

The Beatles refused to play to segregated audiences in the US, a contract for one of the group's concerts shows.

It beggars belief that there aren't any political parties calling for a Royal Commission into what the absolute fuck is wrong with the NZ Jevon Force. The scale of rot within the Police is outrageous. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3610...

stuff.co.nz

McSkimming scandal prompted a sweep of police devices. It found 21 more cases

New monitoring introduced after the former deputy commissioner’s downfall identified 21 police employees over searches potentially linked to pornography or other concerning material.

They shut down flu tracking and flu is out of control. They cancelled ferries to save money and now we are gonna get shittier ferries that cost more. They fired all the public servants and unemployment went up. They gave landlords tax breaks and homelessness people are dying on the streets.

What do you mean, public health tools used during Covid are best practice and can drastically impact the spread of disease and *checks notes* masking is not an attempt by the government to control your life but a demonstrable way to prevent you and others getting sick, and mitigate system impact 🤔

You can never convince a Tory that their policies don’t work. If you show them evidence of their failures, they believe the problem is that they didn’t Tory hard enough.
