Wondering why Antoine Semenyo wasn't awarded an #FPL assist for Man City's second goal against Brentford?

NSW's own Stasi on the way. Put the left in power, this is what you get.

Chris Minns holds a joint press conference to announce that he will be employing 30 new “MCLO’s” (Multicultural Community Liaison Officers) which are used in local ethnic communities to specifically identify ‘Hate Crimes’ only and report them to the Police.

Government bloc still ahead 62-58. ACT crashes 2.5 points to 6.5%. NZ First bleeds 1.9. The poll Christopher Luxon would rather you not look at too closely.

Warriors don't want a second team as they lose a massive amount of market share.
Tiffany Salmond@Tiffany_Salmond
A second New Zealand team shouldn’t just be on the NRL’s long-term expansion wishlist. It should be a priority. The NRL would be crazy not to capitalise on the cultural shift happening in NZ right now while rugby union is actively losing its grip. (1/4)

He just can't leave his Marxist BS out of it.
Radio NZ's John Campbell uses an interview with the new Chief Executive of Rugby League New Zealand to push divisive concepts like race and gender.
Sadly, the new CEO Andrea Nelson goes along with most of it. Saying she intends to emphasise Rugby league's role as a social force amongst women, Maori and Pacific Islanders.
Well that's good Andrea, but if you don't want white men to support league, why don't you just come right out and say it?
I've been a Warriors fan for ever, but its no problem for me to switch the off button if that's what you want.
As for Radio NZ, they want to push Marxist division in NZ and their hiring of John Campbell to front their flagship show is proof.
The govt needs to shut them down before they do even more damage to the country and its social cohesion.

@Being_Kara @chrisluxonmp Are you mental? I purchased my first house in my 30s. In my 20s I was just drinking piss and being a dickhead.
English

Dear Christopher Luxon @chrisluxonmp
My kids are in their twenties, grafting hard, saving every cent, and still getting nowhere in a housing market that feels completely stacked against them.
They just want a modest house in the city they grew up in, bought on ordinary Kiwi wages. They are hardworking and diligent and law abiding citizens.
Instead they turn up to open homes and watch Indian families pay cash prices that blow local bids away.
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: these buyers aren’t competing on anything like a level playing field.
India’s 1.4 billion people have operated for over 2,000 years under a caste system that divided society into rigid layers. The Brahmins at the top, then Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Shudras, and Dalits outside it altogether.
Marriage was (and largely still is) within caste. Land, business, and capital stayed locked inside those upper tiers across generations. The result is concentrated family wealth that moves with migrants. One sibling gets residency, the extended network pools the rupees built up over centuries of that stratified system, and suddenly they’re dropping deposits in Auckland or Wellington that the everyday Kiwi could never match.
We are a small island country of five million people. Our young ones didn’t inherit centuries of accumulated capital from a closed hierarchy that kept wealth circulating inside the same families and castes.
They inherited student debt, $700-a-week rents, and a government that keeps immigration wide open because it pads the GDP figures and locks in a few extra ethnic voting blocs.
You keep calling this “highly skilled” migration and telling us to work harder.
A small island nation cannot expect its next generation to compete against the purchasing power of a subcontinent whose historical social structure was literally designed to concentrate and preserve wealth at the top.
You campaigned on fixing housing and getting migration under control.
My kids aren’t the “grumpy few.” They’re the future of this country, and right now they’re being quietly priced out of it in their own homeland.
So tell me Prime Minister how exactly are they supposed to get ahead when the deck is this heavily stacked?
Because “just work harder” is no longer cutting it.
Yours, in growing frustration,
A former National voter

@Coltheman1 Are you reminding him that you are old enough to remember 2017! LOL

@Keir_Starmer And far right appears to be anything you don't agree with. You little weasel.

@NRLFantasy Good to see the fantasy platform found a major pricing bug and stopped trading. Shame they fuck around with pricing at the start of the season and it is unnecessary.

@Being_Kara @chrisluxonmp This is true but New Zealand first are not the answer, never have been and never will be. ACT might be my only choice.

Dear Christopher Luxon,
@chrisluxonmp
This morning on NewstalkZB you were asked about Nigel Farage’s surge in the UK and the clear anti-mass-immigration backlash that just delivered a political earthquake in Australia.
Your response? “That’s just a grumpy few… people are playing politics with immigrants.”
As a lifelong National voter, I have rarely heard a more tone-deaf dismissal of legitimate public concern. Because the grumpy few you wave away are not fringe agitators on social media. They are the silent majority of Kiwis who have watched their country change at breakneck speed while being lectured that any unease makes them right-wing or racist.
You and your colleagues have spent years telling us how “highly skilled” the new arrivals are and how lazy and unambitious Kiwis have become. Yet your own government’s figures, and the brand-new India–New Zealand FTA, now classify Domino’s pizza workers, yoga instructors, chefs, and AYUSH practitioners as “skilled” migrants eligible for dedicated visa pathways.
Net migration is still running at tens of thousands a year, with India one of the largest sources. Housing, hospitals, schools and roads are groaning under the weight. Wages in retail, hospitality and trades are being undercut. And when Kiwis point this out, the official line is that we’re just not trying hard enough.
That’s not evidence-based policy. That is propaganda dressed up as economic necessity.
Worse, it is selective. You and your MPs have been photographed wearing turbans and paying respects at temples and gurdwaras in search of ethnic bloc votes. That’s not “celebrating diversity.” That is ethnic vote-bank politics of the kind you accuse others of.
When a junior National backbencher last week screamed “foreign political interference” because he was merely quote-tweeted by an overseas account, the absurdity was complete. The only foreign interference National seems to worry about is the kind that doesn’t deliver you donations or diaspora ballots.
Meanwhile, you lecture us about the dangers of social media while your government rushes through under-16 bans modelled on the EU’s Digital Services Act - conveniently timed before the election.
Elon Musk’s purchase of X has been one of the most significant pro-democracy acts of the past decade precisely because it broke the stranglehold of legacy media and government-aligned censors.
Yet your instinct is to regulate and restrict rather than trust New Zealanders to think for themselves. That tells us everything about where your priorities lie.
The latest Poll of Polls gives the current coalition an extremely high probability of surviving November. That is not because of any great love for National. It is because enough Kiwis still fear a return to the Ardern-era madness.
But loyalty has limits. A great many of us who have voted National our entire adult lives have reached them.
We will not reward a party that sneers at our justified concerns about rapid, unmanaged immigration from one particular country while simultaneously courting that same community for electoral gain.
We will not vote for leaders who dismiss the very real pressures on housing, wages, infrastructure and social cohesion as the whingeing of a “grumpy few.”
So here is the practical reality, Prime Minister.
Kiwis with a functioning brain will party vote NZ First - the only party in your coalition that has consistently treated immigration numbers as a serious policy lever rather than a virtue signal.
In the electorates many of us will still hold our noses and give National the local vote to keep the left out. But the party vote is no longer yours by default.
You have mistaken quiet frustration for automatic loyalty. That era is over.
The “grumpy few” you mock are the backbone of the National Party’s historic support. Keep dismissing us and you’ll discover exactly how quickly a safe coalition majority can evaporate.
Yours, in genuine disappointment,
A former National voter

@LeagueFreak Handsdown the most overrated coach in the history of the game.
English

All the people who told me this week how great of a coach Ricky Stuart is.
He hardly used his bench the first 60 mins, killed his own forwards, and that was the game. Great stuff.

@BenCrellin So you are actually telling all the review merchants to go outside and touch grass. I agree.

@aniobrien No one would be able to understand Mark behind his double masking.

Let's imagine that at an official event in a minister's calendar Jamie Ensor, Marc Daalder, or Jenna Lynch let rip with a tirade of anti-Māori slurs toward a Māori journalist so bad that the minister shuts down the event. They apologise the next day & incident is hushed up.
Nearly a year later, Ensor/Daalder/Lynch finds themselves in hot water again & is suspended from Parliament. Media from outside the press gallery approach a Māori writer & tell her about what happened filling in the gaps for what she had heard rumours about previously.
The Māori writer is appalled at the slurs, but more so is sick to death of the hypocritical behaviour of the media. She sees the incident as evidence of the performative pretend Māori-allyship. She has watched the press gallery destroy the careers & mental health of many politicians & public figures for much less egregious matters than this incident.
So she talks to others in the media, checks the ministerial diary for the event, & verifies that the incident did indeed happen. She then writes a factual, sober account of what happened with commentary focused on the behaviour of the media as a whole.
Following this, having just been suspended from Parliament & with allegations of other incidents circulating, Ensor/Daalder/Lynch resigns.
Immediately the media & the online left turns on the Māori writer. Nevermind that she never called for Ensor/Daalder/Lynch to resign or be sacked. She is attacked relentlessly online with conspiracies, lies, and abuse. She is told that despite being Māori she has no right to take issue with Māori slurs being hurled around at a ministerial event. She is told she is politicising it. That she has agendas. That she is a bitch, a cunt, is so ugly that she should stick to radio, a Nazi, far right, & should kill herself.
The problem is the Māori writer, not the person who yelled Māori slurs, and not the press gallery for hushing it up. All because she wrote about a senior member of the press gallery being explicitly racist at a ministerial event.
