Takuta Ferris posted this. Keen to know what other New Zealanders think. We don’t have a constitutional document (we have a collection of docs said to make up an unwritten constitution). If you are non-Māori do you have different constitutional rights from Takuta?

The govt was advised that two shots came with increased risk of myocarditis for young people who were at much lower risk of serious covid infection anyway. Officials advised the govt not to mandate 2 vaccines for 12-17 year olds. But they did & they made this youth campaign.

There were only 2 MPs in the Labour caucus without uni degrees according to Willie Jackson. I suspect it’d be similar in all parties. Would NZ politics be better off if we had more working class representation & fewer who’ve gone thru the uni system?

A Member of New Zealand Parliament called the Assistant Speaker a “c***” in the House today. It is totally unacceptable and I can’t believe how far standards have fallen

Been doing a bit of research on the ol’ gangs given the news at the moment & imagine my surprise when I recognised the voice talking about how awful it is that some (bad) gangs are encroaching on the territory of other (Māori) gangs

Look how amused the gang member who is filming this looks when he flips the camera toward the end.

I think some Kiwis would be surprised to see the answers given by Chloe Swarbrick and David Seymour on the topic of freezing MPs’ pay. Or maaaaybe not?

Labour rolled Andrew Little 53 days before the 2017 election after their party vote hit 24% in the polls. Does Chris Hipkins face the same fate now he has the party at 24%?

Unbelievable. This is peak Chloe Swarbrick. She tried to get one of our trade partners to do an “independent investigation” into us because she doesn’t like our current approach to climate change.

Every journalist should be ready with a microphone to doorstep Chloe Swarbrick & the Greens now that their protestors have smashed a window at Winston’s house & endangered his family.

I do no consent to my rights, protections, and opportunities being taken away because a bunch of the most privileged women on the planet have used their positions of influence to sell women out. Our sport is not yours to give away.

A TVNZ executive called Police Minister Mark Mitchell to apologise for how bad One News reporting was last night. Where is TVNZ’s apology to all the NZers it is lying to?

The Migrant Workers Association staged a mock show trial in which they beheaded Winston Peters - after Paul Henry was accused of death threats for playing “shoot, marry, kill” one assumes this will be treated with utmost seriousness.

Filming yourself complaining about petrol prices… while filling up a vintage Holden Kingswood 🤔 It’s like moaning about grocery prices while pushing a trolley full of caviar! A car designed in the 1970s… Carburettor. Built like a fridge. And drinks fuel like it’s still 50 cents a litre and Muldoon’s on the telly. I asked AI to do the maths: Kingswood: ~12–22+ L/100km Corolla: ~4–7 L/100km Hilux (ute): ~7–11 L/100km That’s 2 to 4 times the fuel burn. So yeap, if you choose to drive a rolling museum exhibit, filling it up is going to hurt. Normal Kiwis don’t have the luxury of turning inefficiency into a lifestyle. But here we’ve got Labour MP Dan “Koru Club” Rosewarne staging a social media moment in a gas-guzzling classic and presenting it as evidence of hardship. Mate, skipping one Kingswood fill could probably keep a few Corollas running for a week.

Another election, another round of “Harry Tam is a good guy” from the left. Beware the fact checkers, guys. They need fact checking too.
