Flip Grater has nailed it.
“This Government’s decisions - in a shockingly apparent and unapologetic way - are focused entirely on short-term gain and greed. And the result is an economy in tatters and an environment in grave danger.”

If NZ politicians were so concerned about "saving" kids from "unnecessary" medical interventions, then why the fuck did they reverse so many lowered speed limits #NZPol

I witnessed a scene that shook me to my core today. I need to share it in its full, gruesome detail.
I went to a cafe for lunch, and as I was queuing to pay for the meal the woman in front of me was told hers came to $21. She handed over a $50 note, then looked in her purse for a $1 coin.

Can we instead sell off all Luxon's assets to balance some imaginary numbers, then get him to pay to use them again, increasing the cost by 20% per annum to support the ever increasing dividends?
Is this mature #NZPol and what do you say then?

NZ needs to have a ‘mature conversation’ about selling state assets, PM says
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has indicated asset sales could be included in National’s manifesto for the 2026 election.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Okay #NZPol seems AU press has a much greater figure for this extolled Michelin job
Not just a one-off payment, but ongoing
"It could involve a structure similar to the package pitched to Tourism Australia, which would have cost $40 million over five years"

Why the Michelin Guide is coming to New Zealand, but not Australia
The little red book, still the authority on global gastronomy, is expanding into Oceania – but it’s our trans-Tasman rival shooting for star ratings.

This could very well apply to #NZPol goings on too, with two primary contenders for the crown
🧵 This piece captures a core problem of the hollow democratic state: politics has become performance, optimised for visibility, not understanding.
Farage is winning because politics has been reduced to clickbait.
It’s a shallow spectacle that favours clowns and con-artists.
As @jemmaforte.bsky.social says here - politics has been “repackaged into junk food.”
But there are ways for the left to fight back 👇🏻

Damn, let's just fuck the norms
European negotiators were personally targeted by their American counterparts during a brutal negotiation over green shipping rules, European Commission officials told POLITICO.
This highly unusual gambit left diplomats shaken after the meeting.
