wrote about the NZ PM's unpopularity yesterday ⬇️
didn't realise a fresh poll would mean - as multiple outlets are reporting - Luxon is considering his future after this latest poll.

@LewisHoldenNZ given he pauses between the claims I took them as separate claims. in any case Finland is arguably the answer to the combined claim - and indigenous women couldn't vote federally until the 1960s. so....

Mark Carney clanger to Australian parliament: "Let us remember that Australia was the first nation in the world to give women the right to vote and to stand for parliament.” Whoops! New Zealand first to give all women the vote. (though South Australia got in first on standing)

the banned 60mins segment is so harrowing - extrajudicial torture through stitch-up deals. incredible journalism still happening in Trump's USA thanks to the brave victims coming forward
