Wtf is this “remigration” Newspeak nonsense. At least have the strength of your convictions to call it what it is - deportation based on racism.

Being at the fulcrum of attacks like this is awful. Some folks seem to forget your humanity and lose their own. It’s not Winston’s first rodeo; he knows the impact his words have and what they set off. It’s not OK.

Senior junior associate: good news, they say Ruapehu has possible early warning signs of an eruption. Me: NOT NOW SJA: At least it’s not a new volcano in your area Me: At least it’s not a new volcano in my area YET 🤦🏻‍♀️

Weirdly NZ Herald has video and photos from the new AKL train station openings yesterday but says Bishop was there and quotes him - he didn’t go (although he was on the invite). FTR Councillors in attendance were Baker, Newman, Winiata, Fletcher & myself www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/drury-pae...

Tuesday is C(ommittee )O(f the )W(hole day at Auckland Council and today we have Transport & Infrastructure Delivery Committee from 10am. Agenda and livestream are here: aucklandcouncil.resolve.red/portal/meeti... I won't be doing my usual skeet-along for Reasons. (Sigh)

When I called the NZ equivalent (111) almost a year ago I had totally misdiagnosed the problem. AI may well have agreed with me and I would not be typing this.

Kia ora folks, I've just come on BlueSky and seen this - I chair Auckland Council's Community Committee and have now emailed the lead council staff member to query this and how staff are going to respond. Elected members need to be careful not to get involved in booking decisions directly but...

Liz Truss will forever be the politician most associated with lettuce. RFK Jr: Hold my probiotic salad dressing.

TIL there are people in the world who regularly use email yet do not know using all caps in that medium is yelling. (nb: the culture around all caps is different here)

If you were an MP in 2016, when UK Labour MP Jo Cox was violently killed in the street on her way to do a constituent clinic, yet the incident that has given you concerns about MP safety is the murder of Ann Widdicombe recently then I have questions. I think of Jo Cox often.
