@AucklandIsland Huh? They just announced a deal with Z for more diesel last week.

Just talking to daughter in Melbourne. They've got free public transport, petrol subsidies, road user charge subsidies, the government's organised extra fuel from Asia. New Zealand? Nothing. Zilch. Nada. The government doesn't give a stuff.

@Katzo60 @brisbanebroncos @NRL @sydneyroosters @AllianzStadium @cronullasharks Funny the Warriors have a similar stretch - not in Akl till 13/6.

Saturday night’s clash against the @brisbanebroncos will be the first of six successive @NRL matches that the @sydneyroosters will play against teams from outside of NSW. It will be the final match for the Club at @AllianzStadium until they play the @cronullasharks on June 21.

@kaiviti_cam Luxon acted in good faith with coalition partner, Peters tried using it for political gain...poor form.

Luxon wanted to back the US on Iran. Peters said no. Now the emails are public and Luxon's in crisis talks. Here's the thing: Peters doesn't release emails accidentally. This is calculated. He's reminding everyone who's actually running foreign policy. NZ First is at 13.6%. Luxon's polling under 30% for National. The "three-legged stool" just became a unicycle with Peters steering. #NZPol

Munster looking more like King Wally in 1991 on the Gold Coast #nrlstormsouths

Fa’alogo needed to catch Latrell’s kick, 7 tackle set vs line drop out - got to make those efforts #nrlstormsouths

@Tiare_MP Same as previous PM not going on Hosking, both aren’t interviewing in good faith so whats the point.

Christopher Luxon is scared of Tova O’Brien so he has stopped going on Breakfast

Wonder if Ciraldo is going to be tired soon….. #nrlbroncosbulldogs

@Katzo60 @footyindustryAU Which interestingly would be Chch 85 days and Sydney 100 days on average.

@kiwisean1 @footyindustryAU Yes, but the number of rainy days, as distinct from the total amount of rain is surely a more relevant factor.

its kind of amazing that with Commbank, Allianz and soon Penrith Stadium that none of these has a roof like this.

@Katzo60 @footyindustryAU Has 40% less rain than Sydney - roof is the way to go though!

@footyindustryAU The weather in the South Island of New Zealand can be pretty tricky to say the least. Dunedin has a roof too, at the bottom of the island.

Montoya won’t want to see that again. Still don’t know why players dont just force the ball. #airswing #nrlbroncosbulldogs

How was Crichton not tackled? Any other team and that’s a penalty for a second effort #nrlbroncosbulldogs

@ricsalizzo Also super rugby isn’t tribal. Blues are Auckland - NH and Northland not connected, Hurricanes is just Wellington, Crusaders just Chch. Lots of fans have no connection to Super team, would rather support their NPC team.

Rugby fan . School/club then provincial team to support . Then Super . Then we ask them to support 12-15 All Black tests . And they are time poor . And watch other sports . Design more fan focussed system .

Would love to see an 8 point try option - score a try and 1 tackle from a scrum at any point of 10 mtr line to make a try worth 8. #nrlraidersstorm

It’s not working with Fox commentary from a studio. Twice they called “tries” when it was clear the ref had called it back for forward passes. #nrlraidersstorm

@henrycooke Hipkins is rolled and NZ first do a deal with Kieran

New TPU/Curia poll has NZ First surging, National regaining some ground but remaining under 30%, and the wider left bloc down considerably. Coalition would be returned on these figures:

@LeagueFreak So long as they do work on ground with NZRL - get kids playing at age group and younger, link with touch module with aim for homegrown team by 2040. Aim needs to be to build league in SI, not just another team.

The next NRL expansion club MUST be in New Zealand. When people see an NRL game at the new stadium in Christchurch they’ll understand. #RugbyLeague #NRL

@CraigNorenbergs @RaidersCanberra Used to buy it as a kid if the Warriors won- nothing like going to Whitcoulls or Paper Plus each week to check player ratings - seeing who was an 8 and who got a 5. Tough and fair ratings.

Before the age of the internet, this humble magazine was the bloody bees knees. Highlight of the week, I devoured it. I dreamed of writing one story for it, just ONE. I still do. I did have a "letter to the editor" published in 1982, talking up the @RaidersCanberra future... and I can still remember how happy I was. God bless you, RLW... greatly missed by #NRL fans.

There is no way the video ref can say it 100% hit Sloan, and that wasn’t even the reason it was sent up stairs. Certain teams get judged harder by the video ref. #NRLTitansDragons

Dogs not up for this. Tyson try up the middle illustrates it perfectly #NRLBulldogsKnights

@CitizenBomber No it’s not “Gerrymandering is the deliberate manipulation of electoral district boundaries to give one political party, incumbent, or group an unfair advantage.” What electoral boundaries have been changed?

National/ACT/NZF Government gerrymandering of election puts pressure on Electoral Commission Let’s be very clear, by gerrymandering the National, ACT and NZF to ban over 400,000 special votes means they have already successfully stolen the election. That’s what makes this announcement by the commission so insulting… #nzpol LINK BELOW ⬇️⬇️⬇️
