This thread 🤯….. thank you for your mahi @StrayDogNZ !

@chrisluxonmp You are insufferable, and so far removed from the average kiwi. Keep it up dipshit! #onetermgovernment

As we navigate the global fuel crisis, our Government is ensuring that schools remain open and students stay engaged in their learning.

Women are out here sharing live locations, checking the backseats of cars, and holding their hands over their drinks. Men are doing 3 hour podcasts about how unfair it is that we don't smile at them. The disconnect is fatal.

It’s been over 45 working days since I lodged a claim with @ACCNZ for $150 reimbursement towards a medical cost for an approved claim. Absolutely ridiculous #healthnz #acc

@nzfirst English is already by default b/c it's widely used. It doesn't need protecting. Te Reo Māori & New Zealand Sign Language were given special legal status to protect them. But Winston Peters already knew that, he just wanted to waste time & money pandering to his racist voter base.

So, @joerogan probably won’t see this post that’s going viral on Facebook. It’s too long to copy & paste, & it took way more than 4 screenshots But I think it’s essential reading for everyone, because ALL of the lying MAGA Influencers need to face legal consequences /1

Today’s the 30th anniversary of RATM’S um, ‘memorable’ performance on SNL. There was a fight onstage between our crew and SNL stage hands moments before our performance, wrestling over some upside down American flags which adorned our amps. Timmy C then attacked host/billionarie/presidential candidate Steve Forbes’ family in the dressing room with a wadded up flag. Secret Service flooded the hallways. SNL cut (censored?) our second song and kicked us out onto the sidewalk. Evil Empire entered the Billboard Album Chart at #1.

Judith Collins wore a white camellia in her lapel for her last day in parliament. A white camelia. The symbol of the Suffrage movement in this country. Happy to wear such a symbol having halted 33 active pay equity claims affecting mainly women

@dootdootootdoot Everyday.

Question for my menopausal pals: do you find it difficult to recall names of people or things? Not ones you have forgotten, but names you know perfectly well but cannot easily bring to mind on the spot?

That's it. That's the best picture from Saturday's No Kings protests in the USA. The literal Statue of Liberty being detained by police. It doesn't get much more poetic than this.

It’s kind of weird how everyone in the family randomly picks where they sit around the table and then proceeds to sit in those exact spots for every meal for the rest of their lives.

automatic increase under the New Zealand Superannuation and Retirement Income Act 2001. The Government would have to break the law or change it for this increase *not* to happen.

I hope the Taylors Lautner have the courage to name the baby Taylor Lautner

I told my 4 year old we needed to pick up dinner for her dad and she said "Dad is a grown man he can cook his own food." My work here is done.

Admit it: Your kid mispronounced a word three years ago and now the whole family says it that way. What's the word in your house? (We still say 'pasketti' and I’m not stopping anytime soon.)

@NicolaWillisMP Not helpful.

We know that the conflict in the Middle East is adding pressure to hardworking New Zealanders. We are delivering temporary, timely support that is targeted to low-to-middle income working families with children. It is a $50 per week boost for eligible households (those earning up to $89,000 for a family with one child, $112,000 for a family with two children, and $135,000 with three). It's temporary support from the start of April for 12 months, or until the price of 91 drops below $3 a litre for four consecutive weeks. We cannot control global oil markets or international conflicts. And we also can’t risk repeating Covid mistakes, where too much spending more than doubled debt and pushed inflation and mortgage rates too high. Kiwis are still grappling with the effects of that today. But we can get the balance right - softening the impact on working families who cannot easily avoid higher fuel costs in a responsible and well-targeted way.
