@MerryOlEngland Never quite got why they wear a uniform

This is what the actual upper class look like.

@FixingEducation How valid is the study?

It appears recent research shows that grouping students by ability does NOT harm the progress of lower-performing students. Teachers, what’s been your experience? Do lower students benefit more from mixed-ability classes or grouped classes…or does it not make much difference?

@NC_Renic And the female professors wear ???

There are two fashion options for senior male professors: "bow tie" or "homeless"

@omgsidewalks Being warm

For those who didn't grow up privileged, name something you thought was luxury when you were a kid

@Becs She doesn’t understand economics

Why do we chose to domesticate female politicians? Insults on their bodies, attacks on their motherhood. It’s tedious. You don’t like / agree with them? Fine. Talk about the political work they do.

@ThrillaRilla369 We like it!

Friendly reminder to my friends older than 42: You don’t have to put 2 spaces after the period anymore. That was for the typewriter era. You're free

@stevewicks16 @beehivebadboy And actually part of several govts.

@beehivebadboy How many years has he been in Parliament?

For years Kiwis have been squeezed by Woolworths and Foodstuffs raking in excess profits while families struggle at the checkout and suppliers get peanuts. Labour’s toothless Groceries Commissioner achieved nothing. Now NZ First is the only party with real action: breaking up Foodstuffs into two competing national chains, tougher penalties, and genuine enforcement to drive down prices. Read the full article explaining exactly how this long-overdue policy will work, why it will succeed where others failed, and why it’s the serious change New Zealand desperately needs: @beehivebadboy/note/p-194677958?r=86qdtg&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@beehivebadboy…

@Jandal_It Purple rinse - was common back in the day for oldies

Do Winnie and Bibi use the same hair colour?

@ThatEricAlper Another one bites the dust

We all know the popular wedding songs, but what's a great song to play if there were divorce parties?

@Cioccolata234 WTF!

Staff paid on average $150,000 at Charter Schools. stuff.co.nz/politics/36065…

@chrisluxonmp Farmers not too happy - they think they are the economic engine

Auckland is New Zealand’s economic engine and today we’ve backed it to go further. We’ve signed the country’s first-ever City Deal with Auckland Council. It’s a long-term partnership to unlock growth, build infrastructure, and lift living standards. This means getting on with the big stuff: delivering projects like the City Rail Link and Eastern Busway, planning for the next Waitematā Harbour crossing, and unlocking new housing and jobs in places like Drury and along the CRL corridor. It’s a more coordinated, more accountable way of working, focused on actually delivering results. Because when Auckland succeeds, New Zealand succeeds.

@lorrainesplace @MariaSherwood2 Say it out loud - TiTTs

I wonder how much someone got paid to come up with the CoCs new catch phrase. Timely, temporary, targeted. Its getting lots of use and its so obviously something they've been told to use.

@NZNationalParty You think we’re April Fools???

It’s tough out there, especially at the pump. We’re making sensible and measured changes that will give relief to over 1 million Kiwis.

@chrisluxonmp What mistakes ????

The conflict in the Middle East is directly leading to higher prices at the pump in New Zealand. That’s affecting households and businesses across the country, but the Government can’t afford to ease the pressure for everyone. We can’t repeat the mistakes of Covid where excessive spending led to higher inflation and more debt. We have to get the balance right. The most sensible and affordable thing for our government to do is provide timely, temporary, and targeted support to those who need it most. We’ve already announced that 143,000 low-and middle-income working families will receive an extra $50 a week to help with rising fuel costs. And from tomorrow, more than a million New Zealanders will also get an increase to the financial support they receive from the government. Nearly 1 million superannuitants get a boost – for a married couple on Super, that’s up over $50 more a fortnight. 280,000 families will get more through Family Tax Credits - up to $1,050 extra a year. Students and beneficiaries will get around $20 more a fortnight. We’ve also made changes to Working for Families, which will support 140,000 more households. That’s on top of the tax relief we’ve already delivered and FamilyBoost support for families with kids in early childcare. We’re also boosting KiwiSaver, helping you grow savings faster for your first home or retirement. We can’t control global fuel prices, but we are focused on helping Kiwis with targeted support that New Zealand can afford.

@NMowbray23 Where are your factories

All tracks back to labour's ideology.

@ScholarshipfPhd And the rest use AI to read it for them.

Nowadays, many researchers use AI to write their papers and send them to journals. The editor sends the paper to a reviewer who also uses AI to give feedback. Then the paper goes back to the author who again uses AI to address the reviewers comments. Feel free to disagree.

@TerribleMaps @3lfares Can you add my country while you’re at it

@3lfares Ok thanks, I'll update the map

I’m from the darkest region and I’m literally balding

@winstonpeters Do you need theirs because you don’t have any of your own ? Or to dis them?

What has Labour been doing for the last two years? Remember when they had a ‘bonfire’ of their old policies? Then, in an election year, at their ‘State of the Nation’, in front of the media, he said he was not going to announce any policy until around July. Now he says ‘we’re not in government’ so has no policies about the fuel supply issues. He just admitted to New Zealand that the Labour Party was out of ideas. That they are rudderless.

@NZNationalParty And the plan is .... ?????

New Zealand currently has enough fuel, and more on the way, but the Middle East conflict has disrupted fuel supply around the world. Our Government is working hard to be ready for a scenario where it’s more difficult to get fuel into the country, so that we can help protect Kiwis whose jobs and incomes rely on fuel.

@jeffcthomson Blame Labour

So in summary, folks, we're up said creek without said paddle.
