Kirikiriroa. Gully adjacent. Airbnb valet. Serial pedaler of te Awa. Political opinionator.
My other car is a canal boat.
Sorry but in its current state I wouldn’t trust New Zealand to organise a piss up in a brewery

@lilithgrace.bsky.social this was shot last year. Not rush hour. Gives you an idea of how it works over there.

Oh the irony. A National MP wants e scooters in bikelanes (fair enough) but her government has stopped all funding to building bikelanes! National MP Catherine Wedd leads e-scooter rules revamp www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Kirikiriroa’s severely underrated.
At least this little corner is.

It's not all bad news out there.

You know what's worse than firefighters/ nurses/ doctors/ teachers going on strike for better pay and conditions?

Firefighters/ nurses/ doctors/ teachers GOING TO AUSSIE FOR BETTER PAY AND CONDITIONS.

This useless Govt is draining the Motu of its skills. And it doesn't seem to even care.

Yay! Woodstock Primary has come to the party!
This is turning into a rout for the Ericas, Seymours, and Bed Legs of this world.

Holy shit, this is another one I didn't expect. Having said that, almost every teacher I know has absolutely loved the real-world effects of building more Maaori knowledge and worldview into the curriculum so they're shitting on something educators really like

has labour tried running against national?
November 27, 2025 at 9:20 PM
Gee I dunno, if I was the Labour leader I reckon I'd have a firm view on this and be able to articulate why it's a no-brainer on pretty much every level but there you go.

Amazed that party is still polling above 30% tbh

Whoah!
Hamilton Boys High came through.
Kirikiriroa's equivalent of AKL Grammar/Chch Boys etc.
Surprising and welcome.
Times have definitely moved on - this certainly wouldn't have happened during Hassall's reign.

This useless racist Govt is being absolutely CANED on this.

What the hell is going on with the new New Zealand school curriculum, and what does it have to do with the Atlas Network? (No, really!)

A thread:

Today a senior minister in the government of New Zealand declared she was disgusting that schools have chosen to adhere to the principles of
te Tiriti o Waitangi.
I’m sure you’ve seen the clip.

I wonder if the Russian backers of Brexit regretting their success ,when the poms could be at the table right now destabilising the EU from within.
I mean, wasn’t that Russia’s grand project all along?

Regional Councils need to get in first and abolish the Government!

There's a resistance-tsunami happening out there.
Imagining a fair number of schools see this as an opportunity to channel their despair of the Min of Ed & Standford.

I mean, when tru-blue white flight schools like Kirikiriroa's Sacred Heart & Girls High have signed, you've lost the war.
Just saw a FB note that Hamilton Girls High has come on board.
