Bonkers that this story is buried in MSM. I've long thought that joining the club that challenges big tech, upholds human rights, and takes climate seriously, wld be a good aspiration, but now especially as the US slides into full fascism. www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/1...

It's not 'something in the water' - AoNZ should be studying everything Paris has done right, & the gains that come wiht it, rather than spiralling into a fake transport culture war.

Karanga-a-hape very er… 'curious gold card' today, I will say. Not sure if we're the new #CRL business KBA anticipated, but… all good vibes all round all the same.

When where is the actual Friday morning #CRL opening ceremony is? News is cryptic on dets. Not sure how much rizz W Brown and Bish will bring to this but nonetheless… it feels like a moment - anybody know?

🚂 On Sunday I'll be back in the container & on my perch at Queens Wharf from 10-4 playing tunes to celebrate the opening of Tāmaki Makaurau's CRL. Given the momentousness something special is required so it's 6 hours of train/railway etc related songs, nothing but! Choo choo, it's free btw 🛤️🚆

This reductionist 'urge to snatch defeat from the jaws of a massive visual design achievement is deeply regressive - like all the reaccounting on the creative sector's societal contribution that happened under the Clark govt… is getting wiped from the ledger.

This article is nearly a week old but I wanted to express how much I dislike this argument. Not only is this kind of tall-poppy skinflint traditional kiwi culture just really detrimental to having a nice country with good infrastructure, but we deserve nice things www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland/...

who is advising Hipkins because this is so pathetic either ignore them or boost their profile as an option for liberal National/ACT voters but either way, be confident about Labour rather than negative about TOP this makes Labour look scared and gives TOP leftwing framing - which is bad!

Correlation just gets stronger... Real house prices vs the employment rate. You see, it takes two wage slaves to tango in the NZ housing market. The little yellow skulls are changes in Government, which is what happens when swing voters aren't pacified by those sweet capital gains.

I think we should start measuring government programmes in Hayden Donnell's 'metres of roading'. Lowering the age of bowel cancer screening to 45? 5 metres of road. A year of Three Waters? 63 metres of road. Reading recovery? 13mm of road.

I’m loving the simple clear graphics in the NZ Greens campaign messaging. It makes it pretty hard for ordinary kiwi voters to justify such an obvious grift by the super rich, when you see the sheer cheek of it displayed like this. #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ #TaxTheSuperRich

“Jack, you would do well as an interviewer to not make comments like that." (Seymour > Tame: ) ”I’d be careful saying that, John”. (Luxon > Campbell). While the govt are amateurs compared with Orbanist/Trumpist electoral authoritarianism - these and other threats are the chilling direction #nzpol
