I got fish n' chips to eat with my recent migrant Chinese-Indian family

Two thirds of the posts celebrating NZF's "English is now an official language" post on linkedin contain spelling mistakes 🤣 It is "Hear hear", not "Here here". And Anne didn't end her sentence with a period.

It is hard to see the government's actions as anything other than an attempt to completely hobble the Tribunal. This would fit with a broader pattern of trying to neutralise any bodies that can attempt to hold the government to account.

This has received little attention, but is significant news. Paul Hamer, who I think was the last remaining historian member of the Tribunal and quite possibly the Tribunal's most busy member (currently serving on 11 inquires), has not been reappointed by the government.

In today’s NZ Herald

"As Japanese financial newspaper Nikkei Asia found in a recent investigation, just five US tech giants — Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle — are hiding an estimated $1.65 trillion in debt that doesn’t appear on balance sheets. futurism.com/artificial-i...

I am fucking BEGGING media to stop saying the government has removed election-day enrollment, or same-day enrollment. It’s the entire advance period. Please. Don’t confuse people.

I am begging a journalist to ask Luxon, on camera, why the Prime Minister refuses to condemn the racism of Winston Peters. When he says "I have criticised it" hit him with the, "not as Prime Minister, why is that?" and watch him slowly melt.

This government got to 100 days of the election and you've got Luxon desperately trying not to offend his racist coalition partner by issuing criticism as National Party leader not as PM, which is another complete failure to lead the country. The Prime Minister doesn't have a problem with racism.

Auckland: "I'm actually kind of a big eel"

It cannot be acceptable to say in parliament that MPs are not entitled to ask questions of the government, to speak, to criticise, due to their country of birth or their ancestry. How is this not against the rules?

bit sick of the responses, including from the Race Relations Commissioner, characterising outright unhinged racism from on high that attacks migrants' rights to political participation, as unseemly, inappropriate, bad manners, undiplomatic etc rather than fundamentally damaging to our democracy

We are at 'New Zealand stereotypes of Australia' levels of acceptable public racism.
