Heading to Wanaka this weekend. Let me know if anyone wants me to bring McDonalds over the Crown range.

From the University of Auckland: We have to prioritise the science of learning over political expediency, to revitalise the mathematics curriculum and its teaching, argues Dr Tanya Evans #Echobox=1712737219-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newsroom.co.nz/2024/04/10/mat…

A monopoly over the licensing of teachers is producing perverse outcomes. It is time to reorganise and refocus how we train and employ teachers. stuff.co.nz/opinion/300971…

@FlyAirNZ could you please be some kind and answer the phone. Thanks

A new nurse training facility in Auckland has been sitting empty since the end of last year, unable to open because of regulations on nurse training that were abolished long ago in Australia. @pjsmellie reports. businessdesk.co.nz/article/busine…

Why can @nzlabour not enable these solutions that can be provided by the private sector? Instead we see the @chrishipkins Polytech merger clusterfuck hasnt delivered the required training courses for nurses. #NZLabourHasToGo businessdesk.co.nz/article/busine…

@damienmgrant Who?

The speed with which Ardern has vanished from our collective consciousness is remarkable. Other high profile PMs, like Key,Bolger, Clark, Lange, seemed to linger. Maybe it's my own perception but have we memory-holed Ardern?

Outrageous that a business focused on profit making.

The Minister of Immigration can’t name a single health organisation that supports making nurses wait two years before applying for residence. We must place nurses on the fast track to residence to attract migrant nurses who will save lives.

@AKL_Airport welcome mat out for visitors. @FlyAirNZ

Just brilliant! 😂

I’m running out of words to describe my astonishment. Just over 3 weeks after #MahsaAmini’s death, women are defiantly walking on the streets of #Tehran, with no hijab…while cars are honking in their supports. Mahsa couldn’t have imagined how she changed life for many Iranians.

@SiouxsieW It’s called democracy, try it.

Councils will soon require resource consent to work from home because it puts pressure on commercial office space. stuff.co.nz/life-style/hom…

Absolutely makes sense to open the border today without isolation. nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/co…

The ratio of community cases to border cases yesterday was a staggering 2000:1. The border remains closed to returning triple vaxxed New Zealanders on the grounds of public health. The Government calls this following the science!

Have you ever wondered why your local rates are so high? Devonport library closed to the public today (only offering click and collect). Due to Covid only 4 staff working today, need 5 to open to public. (Local book store open with single owner doing everything)

13 Ukrainian border guards on Snake Island refused to surrender. All perished. Their last words to the Russians: “Go fuck yourselves.” twitter.com/OneNationCon/s…

Time to let the tourists back in.

2/ We call on the Govt to immediately remove the MIQ/isolation requirements for NZ citizens and residents. We're subject to a pre-departure test. Once we land in NZ, treat us the same as you treat all other Kiwis. Let’s close the door on this painful chapter in NZ’s history.
