Luxon unaware of coup attempt.
But there are Known Knowns.
We know there are rumours.
We know people in National are spreading them & discussing them with journos.
We know Bishop has been accused of being behind it, & that some in National want us to think it's all over and Luxon rinsed him.
These are Known. Not much else is.

Exactly this.
#NZPol Just vote Green. This is such bullshit.
Things that Labour will say 'yes' to:
1. We need 120,000 people unemployed (at least) to stop wages going up by too much.
2. Banks can extract $8bn a year in profits, because that's the price we should pay.
3. The market will eventually deliver affordable energy / food / rent - be patient comrades.

@paulapenfold.bsky.social, normally love your work but the item on the Army d*ck pic is clearly a hit job from inside Defence.

Now is probably the time, if you are interested in one of these.
Get it sent to a US address and repackaged for sending to Aotearoa. I imported a lot of air with mine.
Defo worth the investment...

I think what Uffindell is really projecting is the growing realisation that everyone hates the Nats - and with good reason...
Suck it up, bedleg boy...!

Boards Chair here - before our BOT passed a motion affirming our commitment to Te Tiriti, I received emails from parents and teachers urging the board on.
The union never said a word.
Amazing that reaffirming a commitment to Te Tiriti is viewed as "anti-govt" (his words)

Tangletongue, Todd Tangletongue....
Todd McClay talking with a tangled tongue trying to use semantics to lie his way out of answering questions. The British High Commission is the representative for the UK government here to the NZ government. If they have raised it, that's official.

This goes well beyond incompetence.
It is outright corruption.

Absolutely unacceptable given rising unemployment overall + losing plane after plane of good people offshore!
PSA's Fleur Fitzsimons:
"These figures show that delays in recruitment are a deliberate cost-saving tactic, driven by the government's failure to fund the health system properly."

If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Just had lunch with Suze Redmayne and Barbara Kuriger.
I like Suze and we always focus on local issues to avoid any minefields.
Big concern this month is the regeneration of the Tongariro burn area and the need for upwind land managers (YOU, Waka Kotahi) to do better weed management...

Hang on, is this about NZ or the USA?
This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.
