Great news, not only for Liam, but also for NZ motor sport! Needs to make the most of his good fortune by adopting a low and humble profile and let his results do the talking for him. Liam Lawson confirmed on 2026 grid, to remain with Racing Bulls

This searing indictment on capitalism is just as relevant today, as it was when it was published 86 years ago.

New means (“quietcationing” or “hushpitality”) of extracting more tourist $ from wealthy “First Worlders”. Based on comfort, silence and escaping compounding stresses of modern life. These UK examples could easily be replicated in NZ.

Further evidence that we are a “compassionless”society. On bright side, she is lucky that Brook van Velden is not Immigration Minister; infamous for criticising previous govt for “completely blowing out what the value of a life was".

Can’t understand why the Opposition is not all over the “McSkimming” complaint. Too many high up in the police (right up to the Minister of Police) conveniently arguing they were unaware of the seriousness of the situation. Heads need to roll if are to trust their police.

In the words of Shane Jones, the inquiry needs to “dig, baby, dig”. Jevon McSkimming case: The woman at the centre of the sex scandal calls on government to open wider inquiry into police culture

“Something is rotten in the state of Denmark”. It beggars belief that Chambers was blissfully ignorant of complaints and subsequent emails being circulated about McSkimming, who after all was Chambers’ major rival for the position of Commissionaire.

Yes. That’s the way it’s looking for a faint-hearted NZ Labour Party.

Something for NZ to emulate. Early childhood educators in Australia get final 5% pay rise as workforce grows

“There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile, He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile; He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, And they all lived together in a little crooked house.”

Could just as easily have been $1000 of butter.

National (and international) disgrace. NZ govt’s solution is to literally sweep aside evidence of homelessness, especially amongst children, because may deter tourists from visiting NZ. Article suggests actions to take. #seenoevilhearnoevilspeaknoevil

Same old, same old issues with NZ Police. Easy to make it all about McSkimming when issue is deeply entrained toxic police culture that needs to be called out and actioned on. Requires external review not an in house job led by Commissioner Chambers.

Does Labour want to snatch defeat from jaws of victory? Govt ineptitude reason enough to not vote for them. However, Labour offers few reasons to vote for them. Offer mishmash of policies underpinned by neo-liberalism. When we seek bold, we get old. https://t.co/CgIbKk5DqR

Minister Watt fools no one with his “comb forward”. He presents as insipid, inoffensive (aka boring) face of govt’s underwhelming decisions re water and climate change. #borntobemild

Councils to foot a near $48 billion bill for “Local Water Done Well”. Minister Watt can obfuscate as much as he likes but a crock of shit is still a crock of shit. Reality is that councils have been handed a prohibitively expensive hospital pass re water.

The under-estimated power of humility. A pope who listens more than he speaks, Leo’s positioning himself as an antidote to an era of big egos

Natural disasters of this magnitude put our problems in NZ into perspective. More than 900 killed in Asian floods

“Where water is very old we need to take less water and also look for where water is younger and take water from those areas," Wells with 40,000-year-old groundwater discovered

Sadly, this is what happens when serving the wants of the greedy few is prioritised ahead of meeting the needs of the poor.
