Everyone has to decide when to leave an organisation or platform and mine has come. It’s not that anyone will know I’ve left Twitter or that it makes a scrap of difference to Elon but it matters to me. I can’t support his behaviour be it Twitter or Tesla. Gone!

Must be school holidays. Three teenagers and suddenly motivated to get carts going. Loving it. Grandkids clocking good times in Whangarei

Hold your breath folks as these storm clouds show no sign of abating.
In this moment of peril, I must underscore my duty as Secretary-General to uphold the @UN Charter. The Charter is clear. Any annexation of a State’s territory by another State resulting from the threat or use of force is a violation of the Principles of the Charter & int’l law.

And make America Great again? Winstone that’s a lot of words to dog whistle every possible discontent.

It’s just a guess but surely you have the real story now and could share that. Truth won’t be decided by what they do or don’t put to air.
Spoke to @NewshubPolitics about a hit piece they are doing on me tonight. They even went and pestered the family of one of the massacre victims! Anyway let’s see how they cut and paste my comments and I’ll give you the real story on @theplatform_nz tomorrow.

Never ceases to amaze me that the people who demand fiscal prudence with low debt, low taxation / rates also demand world class infrastructure and services. Do they ever join the dots or have they invented a new economic miracle the rest of us haven’t.
This is also cracks me up when the “no more debt” candidates also want to invest in infrastructure. If we took on no debt for infrastructure this year, we’d either have to cut infrastructure investment by about $900m or put up rates by 50% to cover it.

Enjoy the moment as we may be approaching the end of this absurdity. The Queen deserved our respect and she got it. Now?

History says it’s not a good idea to keep lowering the bar (legal among others) until everyone clears it. Trump's Mar-a-L... https://t.co/RXeDiVIpch via @YouTube

One benefit of being semi-retired (there are so many) is fine riding days come around a lot more 😀. This Street Fighter is so nimble through those Coromandel corners. Didn’t want to stop riding.

Guess when your frustrated and have no ideas of your own you just lash out. The sign reflects badly on the person carrying it not Jacinda.

But it’s dog whistle politics as everyone has had enough of something so it captures a disgruntled mob. Easy! Just not defined or focused with zero solutions offered.

Id love to be only 35 but at 65 I can say the same.
I’m only 35. But I’ve lived through 9 PMS. All had complicated legacies. But I’ve never seen a PM like @jacindaardern who’s delt with such unprecedented events, in a short period. With such grace and intelligence.

Laughing @nzherald: 1000 people is not a "mass protest". 40k young people marched on the beehive, for climate and you didn't use the term then.

So good to see Airport Services struggling again. Feels pre-covid for the first time.

Truths? Record temperatures are not man made. Putins special military operation is not a war. NATO has done everything possible to arm Ukraine. Donald Trump was not responsible for the insurrection on Jan 6th. Asset inflation is not related to decades of quantitative easing.
