Here's a hypocrite if I ever saw one: Ani O'Brien saying people should be able to say what they want in their free time, even if "crude" Maiki's wasn't even a public case like this one Jordan William's "Free Speech Union" should abolish itself - was always obviously a fake
How a coordinated far-right network — The Platform, NZ First, ACT, Free Speech Union — took down NZ's only media regulator with statutory teeth. An excellent article by Mohan Dutta, who is frequently attacked by the alt right in NZ: culture-centered.blogspot.com/2026/05/how-... #nzpol #auspol
This guy, the PM of NZ, just can't answer a question - nor can he bring himself "down" to say he feels for the young despite 25% youth unemployment, 23% underutilisation & ~15% NEET rate #nzpol

Luxon says National's post-natal stay announcement was 'incorrectly characterised' and it's not the case all mothers get 3 days of post-natal care But Government Ministers, including Simeon Brown, Casey Costello and Louise Upston, were unequivocal just days ago
Labour's Vanushi Walters has a double Law degree from #Auckland Uni & Masters in International Human Rights Law from #Oxford And it shows Credible person & the points she raises aren't surprising esp. given Luxon wanted to publicly side with the US on Iran & Winston tried to kiss Trump's ring
Todd McClay signed the India-NZ FTA agreement last night. He said he & industry are confident as NZ is "good" at honouring trade deals Ironic as this govt keeps ignoring official advice that their pro-fossil fuel & anti-environment policies risks breaching our $22 billion EU-NZ FTA trade deal

First it was: we support it. Then: we’re not participating. Now: we’re just defending. Australia’s sending military aircraft, personnel and missiles into the Gulf. That’s not staying out of war. That’s how @AlboMP sells war to the Aussie public - one euphemism at a time.

They won't allow children to go to school or return home. They harass, kill rape, torture and disfigure defenseless children, women and men. But when it comes to fighting armed men in a fair fight, the spineless, gutless cowards run & hide behind America... IDF Zionist thugs acting like Nazi's👇🏼👿

Claude Opus 4.8 just dropped and people are split on whether it's a major upgrade or just incremental improvements. Agentic coding bumped up 5% with other benchmarks seeing modest gains. But the real story is Mythos dropping in weeks and apparently no system is safe from it.
