Indigenous people stand in the way of complete corporate control of the planet: That is the only reason David Seymour's bullshit Treaty Principles Bill exists - so Chevron and Lockheed can frack and bomb to their content while the ACT Party profits.
Fuck that, and this Government.

People who understand these things: what is it that makes news outlet suddenly published a flurry of article articles about how the current Prime Minister of New Zealand might need to be someone else very soon? Is it a press release? Is it gossip? What’s the Genesis of this kind of chatter?

a party here actually needs to run aggressively against US interests here and specifically with a promise to kick out the FBI who have absolutely no good reason to be here and getting worse

This is an absolutely meaningless widget measure of council effectiveness cited by the dumbest grifters in the city.
Deloitte report suggests Wellington City Council has 330 more staff than it should
PSA says analysis from Deloitte, which cost $435k, lacks a basic understanding of what the Council's role is.

Yes, despite elections literally last month, the proposal is to ditch regional councillors and replace them with a board of Mayors from regions and maybe some Crown Commissioners. They will make decisions for their regions with possible weighted population voting rights?

Thread time.

These proposed local government reforms are being reported as the end of Regional Councils but actually they're probably the end of a lot of rural and smaller district councils in New Zealand. Not sure what I mean?

“Little rewarded the conservative councillors who ran a self-described “campaign of disruption” throughout his predecessor Tory Whanau’s mayoralty by giving them control of four of the most powerful committees.”

It is understood reforms to be announced today will mean the dissolving of regional councils, and the first steps could be within this current three-year council term.

thank fuck people are finally talking about this. rushing back into exercise after covid fucked up my life for TWO YEARS. i wasn't able to do any exercise or do any kind of exertion for that long, and i had a solid fatigue that did not let up for the entire time it happened.
For up to half of people with #LongCOVID, activities like exercise can trigger post-exertional malaise (PEM). Yet Long COVID clinics around the world are offering exercise as treatment while dismissing its serious harms.
