Don’t forget to be kind to each other …
I saw the RNZ stand up interview, notice how Luxon always has to have an escape route, standing outside and the only one with a microphone, but shit he is good, I’ve met quite a few arseholes in 75 years but he absolutely slays it with the taking credit for others hard work and initiative. How the fuck can he straight faced take the credit for Labour projects while bagging everything Labour did. King of the Arseholes. So glad to see at last lots of others starting to get angry as well.
At a little over 7 minutes long, this Checkpoint interview with the Clutha mayor hammers the nail into the coffin of CoC hopes of retaining many marginal seats in the South Island.
He's quite outspoken about the $14 billion in tax cuts = no hospital in Dunedin/Tasman etc.

Cadogan is a gem.

"I found a considerable lack of work after doing concerts for Palestinian children.. if that's the way it has to be, that's the way it has to be. If you support human rights, you gotta support them everywhere."

Federated Fuckwits blame change in land use for the demise of sheep meat and the Alliance Group's Smithfield plant.
It was land use change alright but not to forestry, it was to dairy.

That is not even considering that while global sheep meat prices dropped it was those farmers who chose to sell to forestry for massive personal gain rather than planting on their own farms for these mythical carbon credits.
Turmeric. They sprayed turmeric with lead chromate to enhance it's colour.
“It’s the crime of the century,” says Bruce Lanphear.
He’s not talking about a murder spree, a kidnapping or a bank heist.
Lanphear – an environmental epidemiologist at Simon Fraser University – is referring to the fact that an estimated 800 million children around the world are poisoned by lead – lead in their family’s pots and pan, lead in their food, lead in the air. That’s just about half of all children in low- and middle-income countries, according to UNICEF and the nonprofit Pure Earth.
For decades, very little has been done about this. But this is the story of how two women – a New York City detective and a California student – followed the data and helped crack a puzzling case that spanned the globe in the ongoing “crime” of lead poisoning.

As long a Rimmer fines these privileged white parents for their offspring's truancy there should not be a problem.

Basically, the money saved on the flights to and accomodation in Denarau would be offset by the government fine for truancy.
Let's see how that plays out. Methinks Seymour will come down a lot harder on low income brown families who find it difficult to navigate the demands of NZ’s protestant, colonial, neoliberal economy. Funny that.
As for blaming airlines for supply and demand charging well, isn't that the height of hypocrisy!
