Bruce says some Green MPs supported the person who attacked Winston Peters' home. The Greens, in fact, condemned the vandalism (www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...). But Bruce probably only reads the paper who prints his columns and is therefore woefully misinformed about pretty much everything.

Everytime John Campbell's name comes up, NZME's chief gaslighter is gonna mention a single media council complaint about him criticising the coalition govt (which he was 100% accurate about, btw). Meanwhile Currie oversees Right-wing Bias Central & was happy for Lloyd Burr to be proposed as a host.

aside from Currie’s incessant patheticness, there should probably be questions asked about which RNZ board member/s immediately ran to him anonymously sobbing to try and undermine their fellow members. There should be clean out if they have people willing to leak to that degree.

They're delightful! So very well chosen. I loved it all, from signing up to getting my giftee to watching them open their present then opening mine and reading the #SecretSantaAoNZ thread. @foxylustygrover.bsky.social and you and the other elves are amazing connecting us all and spreading kindness.

Any cricket fans attending the Black Caps vs West Indies at the Bay Oval? 🏏

Friday is looking like a fine morning, with some cloudy periods from the afternoon and then a few showers at night.
