They're already laughing at us internationally: in The Guardian.

Why bother dropping levels? I remember the dental nurse/murder house on Willis St, where they trucked us in to get out little teeth drilled by learner dental nurses, with no anaesthetic. My son, born after fluoridation, had no fillings at the age of 20, ...Written By: tWig - Date published: 3:21 pm, February 17th, 2025
But, PsychoM, that IS what Luxon is doing, so it's the perfect slogan. god, this will ripen nicely in the Opposition's hands as the election grows closer...Written By: tWig - Date published: 3:20 pm, February 17th, 2025
The 'slogan' cost $500K. I reckon Luxon got his Oz Prosperity church mate, Scotty from Marketing, to whip that one up. It makes a perfect matching set with the "where the hell are ya?" Australian campaign to lure us to OZ that Morreson ran years ago, ...Written By: tWig - Date published: 10:20 pm, February 16th, 2025
More of Luxon's pearls of wisdom. One News rounded out his response. Just after the quote above, when 'Asked if he believed it was a matter for the police, Luxon said "I don't know how it can be any clearer than my message I just said."

Luxon finally got round to it, in a weak way. Probably had to OK it with his sponsors first. "This is a country that values diversity and is well known for doing so and New Zealand is a much better place because of the diversity that's in it."Written By: tWig - Date published: 7:01 pm, February 16th, 2025
Presumably after confab at the highest political levels The Herald reports Destiny Church violent protests: Police condemn actions, investigate assault allegations.

There is a much larger return on government investment than just the research dollars: via input from unpaid local community volunteers, and by stimulating young people into environmental research. Forests and seashores instead of school labs.Written By: tWig - Date published: 5:48 pm, February 16th, 2025
Willis is a girl, and girls don't cut it with a rightist electoral campaign. Plus I haven't seen much sign that Luxon is human and not a sock-puppet, either.Written By: tWig - Date published: 5:22 pm, February 16th, 2025
Two of their charities were stripped of tax exemption a few years ago for non-compliance with IRD rules, but they took it to court and won them back. I guess their church remains tax- and rates-free.

And in Trump's US, the fight against 'gender ideology' is erasing the word 'woman', among others, from government websites and research grants.

The Nat Party PR machine churning out more PR tat, badly. Just why does, for example, does The Herald keep video-clipping Luxon's 'announcements' of the Nats' latest policy? Today it's tourism, as if anyone cares, or would waste time on a Sunday clicking ...Written By: tWig - Date published: 11:23 am, February 16th, 2025

Surprisingly, Wayne Brown's statement hit the spot. He said Destiny Church’s actions were “totally unacceptable”. Brown said: “While I respect freedom of speech and the right to peaceful protest, to enter a council library facility that is there for all ...Written By: tWig - Date published: 8:53 pm, February 15th, 2025
I am sure there is a flock of turkeys in the Public Service who voted for Christmas. Those of us caught in the 90s learnt our lesson then. False smiles and sinking lids and salary increases that meant you worked for less dosh each year.Written By: tWig - Date published: 8:50 pm, February 15th, 2025

Had to look up 'Banderite', as I haven't heard the term before. At wiki: "In propaganda the term has been used by Soviets after 1942 as a pejorative term for Ukrainians, especially western Ukrainians,[10][11] or Ukrainian speakers;[12] under Vladimir Putin ...Written By: tWig - Date published: 7:16 pm, February 14th, 2025

Two concerning points I took away from last night's Big Hairy News. First: censorship on SM. The BHN twitter/X site was growing exponentially, to 24k followers, until Dec last year.

Mexico's President says the US needs to fight fentamyl in the US as well, says The Guardian.

I don't disagree with your historical roots for the start of the US christian nationalist right, or that a portion of US catholic bishops strongly disagree with the Pope's views on the oil industry, for example.

Interesting choice of 'meatgrinder', where this has been used primarily to describe Russian battle tactics in deploying their troops, not those of the Ukranian military. Untrained and poorly-equipped troops are sent in as a first sacrificial line (eg, as ...Written By: tWig - Date published: 4:09 pm, February 14th, 2025
Again, don't tar all US Catholics with the Trad Catholic brush. The Pope has called overly conservative US catholics out before now.
