My parents found an old business proposal I wrote to my dad when I was a child 😂

@henrycooke Thanks - he died quite a few years ago. 'New Zealand Politics and Social Patterns' is probably worth checking out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ch…

@howdystrangr if he is alive please pass on my regards and ask if there was a sequel

@henrycooke Good to see someone is still reading my granddad's (edited) works 😊

just finished this informative collection of lectures on late nineteenth and early twentieth century NZ political history. lots of very interesting stuff on the decline of the liberals and the reform era

@aschiff Presumably it is combined with removing the foreign buyer ban which would increase volume?

@Bandit @SharesiesNZ Yeah I'm currently using a subscription to sell my holdings monthly and shift to Kernel/Simplicity

@TalkWelly @janthenao There's a difference between the main scoop website and the Wellington blog

@janthenao Scoop publish press releases verbatim. LGWM wrote this themselves. Scoop is not NIMBY it's just a largely open access platform - hence any random group (or massively funded initiative) can post up a press release and people can comment

You couldn't make this up. Look at this headline for how this EXTREMELY GOOD NEWS is being described in an ACTUAL PRESS RELEASE BY ACTUAL LGWM ITSELF.

@jjcrazi @max_tweedie @NZMorningReport Immigration NZ is part of MBIE

@max_tweedie @NZMorningReport Out of interest Max, why is and the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment having a say in your proceeding today? Not sure I understand their involvement.

Today, after yesterday's #IPCC report, everything is back to normal – as always. We continue to ignore the climate crisis as if nothing happened. Our societies are still in denial, and those in power go on with their never ending quests to maximise profits. We cannot afford this.

@barbarikkizzle It's surprising how often for central government it's not a leg requirement and is more of a convention though...

Just a regular reminder that, whether or not Twitter likes it, sending public policy to public consultation is a legislative requirement in Aotearoa, councils and central government alike.

@FranHernaNZ I was literally thinking today - 'how is he going to shitpost now he's a candidate?'

@EmmaVitz Loss aversion is a powerful thing, eh

So many of these articles ignore the fundamental problem that the person bought a house they can't afford. They need help developing a strategy to get out with as little damage as possible. They do not need your advice to cut back on coffees and Netflix nzherald.co.nz/business/mary-…
