Can we please have better reporting of "a 32% increase in public service staff since 2017". 2300 of that increase is MSD after a massive drop 2016-2017 (3400). Let's also talk about the often very good reasons for increases in staff numbers.

I recently made a comic complaining that NASA refuses to listen to my good ideas for improving the Solar System (xkcd.com/2750).
To my delight, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate has sent me an actual expert panel evaluation of my “flatten the planets” proposal! Sadly, they decided not to fund it.

Good to see some facts emerge. The initial reporting denigrated the students and imo was just more proof the Seymour and ACT believe free speech is for them at not the people/communities that are being devastated by the policies they’re enacting. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
Freyberg High School haka was 'peaceful', not 'over-excited' - student
A haka directed at ACT Leader David Seymour was a legitimate form of protest, one student says.

This is my last “political” post for the year (I’m on holiday):
Commenting on the bodies of women, including women whose politics you don’t like, is misogyny. Calling women politicians, including ones whose politics you don’t like, a witch or related terms - misogyny. #NZpol

What if we got the banks to pay taxes on the bits that they own...?

I don't know why we don't talk about wealth tax as 'like rates, but only on the bits people actually own, not the bits the bank still owns'?
