Opinion: The extraordinarily complex job of a librarian almost always requires a master’s degree. There isn’t a single male-dominated profession with comparable skills that requires the same, so why are librarians being repeatedly denigrated? newsroom.co.nz/2025/05/14/im-…

@bestpikelet @nickofnz Does your kid walk on the street? Because that would just be adding to the traffic issue.

@nickofnz I feel like people can walk without funding. My kids learned to walk at only around a year old and they weren't even on the payroll.

Idiotic. Government to spend nearly $33 billion on transport over the next 3 years but will halve the funding for walking and cycling rnz.co.nz/news/political… #nzpol

@tmbg NZ?

@tmbg You should jump over to NZ while you are down here

We are adding two new Australian dates this Friday. Watch this space.

@DrAmericanJesus @tmbg The right to not be bludgeoned to death in Oklahoma. Maybe you should read the news a bit.

@tmbg I think to help the conversation, what rights have they lost?

JF: trans rights are human rights. Pass it on.

Pretty sad there is no NX1 to Silverdale after the fireworks in the CBD tonight. I would think having one of the buses after midnight go all the way up is not too much of an ask, @AklTransport

This route is not in any way shape or form a shared path. No wonder no one rides their bike to the bus station. @AklTransport a little effort here can go a long way.

do it for the funky orange man

This is a great question. If we want to improve NZ standard of living we need to move off of land based investments.

Together - we can turn this election around. triplethevote.nz

No surprises here: National Party confirms plans to cut social security benefits: indexing to cost of living rather than wages would see someone on jobseeker allowance $40 a week worse off by 2027; pays for tax cuts for others; deepens poverty & inequality nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/el…

I’m just gonna say it — there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being taken hostage in a botched bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden in 1973

@NewshubNZ We need more unemployment so we can pay people less.

Expert says unemployment rate needs to jump to 'rebalance' economy dlvr.it/SwhT3T

@rugbyintel I honestly don’t understand how people don’t expect NZ politicians to provide evidence for their policies. It is just lazy politics. If you can’t twist a statistic to fit your policy you just are not trying.

Ignore the fact there's less people on work-ready job seeker benefits now than there were under National & most of them have mental health issues & are white but it's not the white ones I'm targeting. Besides, there's job vacancies on EVERY shop window of every provincial town in this country.

@matty_prasad Yeah. You have been talking with my wife, huh?

The Greens on over 14% (& 18 MPs) is a really big deal, but it’s not the time to be complacent. Party vote Green for: ✅Income Guarantee ✅Fair tax system ✅Free dental for ALL ✅Climate action ✅Warm homes ✅Ocean protection

Get our country back on track [for more deaths and serious injuries].

@matty_prasad My guess, as someone who was recently house shopping, is that garage is carpeted, and ready to be turned into a family room. I know my car will not be sheltered in our new home. And none of the neighbours seem to park in the garage.

@NZNationalParty So you want people to work, but are not willing to stand up for them when their employers steal their wages. “we, in the National Party, don't support it” parliament.nz/en/pb/hansard-…

With National, people on the Jobseeker unemployment benefit will face sanctions if they refuse to look for work.

“Kevin Sorbo, a man who spends the entirety of his day on here whining about literally everything under the sun, and hasn't worked in any real capacity since 1999, wants us all to man up. That's so rich I don't think I could possibly have another bite” Good quote
