    Tik Tok Review of TMO time.

    Tom Tom Turn Around – letting us down gently.

    The IRB admit the AB's were robbed. The TMO call and our bride/bird of the century and foreign interference.

    Winston did not take part today. Perhaps he is at a crossroads. Though it is worrying that NZFirst is joining Act in Treaty ideas according to his deputy.

      One hopes this only refers to reference to the Treaty in legislation – current affairs politics – rather than the Waitangi Tribunal's continuance, or an attempt to diminish a national founding document because of an aversion to world standards for indigenous peoples, as per UNDRIP.

      Those who want us to be like Oz, can go migrate.

      Their bent: as per UNDRIP, the Paris Accord, degradation of waterways and general disregard for conservation of the environment is a conspiracy of ravens to ruin our green brand.

    The European Union has agreed on a joint position.

    1.condemned Hamas for what they described as the use of hospitals and civilians as "human shields" in the war against Israel

    2.asked Israel "for maximum restraint in targeting in order to avoid human casualties

    3.calls for immediate pauses in hostilities and the establishment of humanitarian corridors, including through increased capacity at border crossings and through a dedicated maritime route, so that humanitarian aid can safely reach the population of Gaza

    4.call on Hamas for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. It is crucial that the International Committee of the Red Cross is granted access to the hostages

      EU – another collection of states who are Christian Nationalists.

      How very predictably droll.

        The EU was/is a very secular nation state union.

          Oh noes, really, then maybe they should act like it, rather than parrot Christian Nationalists.

            The secular left does not like

            1. the deliberate killing of civilians.

            2. those who start wars and want outcomes realisable only by war – such as the elimination of a nation state recognised by the UN and members of the EU.

            3. those who build military bases under cities and use civilians as human shields.

            4. those who take civilian hostages

            So if you are not a Christian nationalist, nor of the secular left, what is your position based on?

              I'm not seeing any proof hamas have used a hospital as a base apart from some propaganda from IDF intelligence.

              So maybe rather than rely on bullshit and lies – nation states should get facts before releasing statements

              How many IDF members were killed by Hamas on october 7th? How many people died? A thousand or so (we have been told) – of which we have no idea how many were military (IDF members), some people have suggested to me 50% or higher. How many Israel Civilians were killed by the IDF? We don't know, maybe a couple of hundred, maybe more. So not so cut and dry as your spin is trying to making it.

              So in your world the killing 10,000 civilians (at least) in response is reasonable. With a staggering amount of those being children. You get the IDF are deliberate bombing and sniping at individual doctors and nurses.

              IDF is bombing Lebanon, and once again killing civilians – but that's fine for a upstanding citizen like yourself?

              The IDF is killing and arresting people on the West Bank all under the guise of counter terrorism – That fine too?

              It's not just Gaza, so the lies and bullshit being spread by so called western democracies whilst this killing/murder is going on is deceitful at best – Christian Nationalist shit fuckery at worst.

    With all that's going on in the world, thank goodness we can rely on these guys to keep delivering the laughs:

    "Having both landed in Wellington just this morning in anticipation of a three-way in person leaders’ meeting, Christopher Luxon and David Seymour have just staged a dramatic U-turn and are now boarding the last flight back to Auckland tonight.

    The two leaders had come to Wellington expecting Winston Peters to follow suit so that they could finally meet together face to face. But Peters was a no show. "

    You can almost hear the Benny Hill music playing …

    Peters is going to spend the next three years making Luxon and Seymour look like Laurel and Hardy.
