The Platform is a cesspit of unbalanced reporting.

Plunket lets his guests attack individuals (The Bobster called me a "sleazebag" on the Platform), Plunket called me a "nasty piece of work" live, and Plunket let Fern Hickson say false things about me.

Yeah, he needs regulating. NOW!

“Those snowflakes over at the BSA Stasi need to stop being so woke and focus on regulating 78 gramophone records and wireless short wave radio broadcasts, as per the intention of the original Act.” Said Mr Peters.

I guess if all of the revenue is captured by overseas or wealthy NZ shareholders who are too savvy to pay tax in Aotearoa then he’s probably right.

Now so supermarkets/ hardware/powercos/beef/wine//retailing etc etc

Proof local body elections have become the exclusive realm of boomer/genx/cookers/racists.
I don’t believe this result reflects wider community views.

Local elections live results: 25 Māori wards to go and 17 to stay, voter turnout well down

Updates from across the motu as the local election results land.

Today I chose not to have a croissant & pain au chocolat for breakfast, and to consume six Portuguese custard tarts through the course of the day instead.

Right wing gun-for-hire conveniently forgets to mention all those long weeks in 2022 when RW cookers occupied central Wellington and chanted and raged and pissed and shat and arsoned and rioted on Parliament lawns.

But gets given a newspaper column anyway.

Plonker.

Safe confident cycling requires more than just infrastructure. Here in Castelsarrasin this demarcated cycle lane crosses numerous driveways. The road rules here state turning cars drivers give way to cyclists, and EVERYBODY follows those rules.
