This is such a bizarre thing to have such a blow up over. I don’t use public transport, so I’ve never heard these announcements, are they really that bad?

I’m pretty sceptical about ground effect planes, there’s a very good reason why they’ve never really taken off, despite so many countries and organisations giving them a try over the years, but I’d love to know what everyone else thinks.

In Parliament last Wednesday, Te Tai Tokerau MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi said the government “will not waver in its mission to exterminate Māori”....

She sounds absolutely unhinged, going into someone’s business just to pick a fight with them is straight up bullying behaviour.

Man, Wellington shop owners must dread seeing a green MP walk in the door at this point.

She added: “Perhaps I was a little slow, what I can say is I tried my very best … and I respect the prime minister’s decision.”...

The man deserves a seven figure payout for this, I think.

This would be amazing for anyone heading out to the bays or Wellington Airport, no intersections or lights to worry about, and it would make life so much easier for the CBD as well, not having so much through traffic in the CBD.

Seymour pointed to New Zealand’s attendance rates having fallen from 69.5 percent in term 2015, to 39.9 percent in term two 2022....

By the comments made by the person being interviewed, it sounds like this was also a case of arson?...

"Our government has signalled changes to the plan, including a reduced focus on institutional racism and colonial racism against Māori, which would render the plan pointless as all instances of personal racism result from the institutional racism of our society," Ngata said....

This is great news, and something that should have been done a long time ago. Also, fuck Fletcher building.

Sounds like the condition of the building is indeed very poor, to be honest.

It sounds like we have a lot to learn from this, to be honest.

Never piss off a judge, people. And I know it’s not Facebook, but it’s definitely pretty nutty.

Politicians being told not to use a song happens surprisingly often actually, I know Donald Trump was told not to use one, I believe it was “rocking in the free world”. They’ve also told Nigel Farage off, apparently.

I’m surprised she could walk to the car like that.

It sounds like other KO tenants suffer the worst, to be honest....

This one should have happened a long time ago, a lot of the resistance to state housing being built stems from the antisocial behaviour from a minority of tenants. Living next to social housing shouldn’t be something to dread.

Analysis story by RNZ...

Four separate offences at three different stores, almost 10k worth of items.

What the fuck?

Cold, draughty, doesn’t meet Healthy Homes standards, and in need of extensive renovations. It sounds like the place is pretty tired.

I find this absolutely hilarious.

And in today’s feel good story, six months supervision for beating someone unconscious....
