NZ is going to be in a lot of similar situations to this with the way the weather is already changing.
“When climate activities suddenly paralyzed traffic instead of climate activists, the criminal laws proved to be ineffective.”
$34K would be years off my mortgage and I suspect the same for a lot of other people
standard for this Winston Seymour led government, not having any original ideas of their own.
Phoenix forgot you have to score goals to win a football match #aleague
Google is no longer for search. You are seeing the results of being a guinea pig for their AI experiment tests.
PSA: *Slack is using private messages for AI/ML training*.
Incredibly annoying that companies like Slack are trying to sneak AI/ML data harvesting clauses in, while requiring admins to send an email to opt out.
Read the Slack privacy principles, email Slack and tell them you are opting out.
this craziness is about one step above people wanting to bring back witch trials 🙁

She got elected to the job by being the loudest idiot in the room, then she was shocked to find out she actually had to be responsible for the bullshit she was carting around, then she suddenly claims ignorance 💩

Courtney Gore of Granbury, TX has disavowed the far-right platform she campaigned on after finding no evidence students were being indoctrinated by the district’s curriculum.

King Charles painting looks like a prop for a horror movie.
What were they thinking using that dreadful red colour? Not enough contrast for my liking.
I am not sure what insults you are referring to, or what you believe they were intended to be doing, but thanks for letting me know 👍
Comrade Seymour wants to offer privately owned 'charter schools' a ten year handout of taxpayers money in his latest example of corporate welfare.
Very left wing socialist of him spending up large in taxpayers money again #nzpol
Bloke on the news saying some areas of NZ will come to be known for all the old people.
I think he described Tauranga.

“Existing onshore fields have more than enough gas reserves and resources to meet non-petrochemical demand for the duration of the transition away from fossil gas,” the report said."
The Government says New Zealand must choose between gas and coal.
That's a false dichotomy.
It only serves to lock us into another half-century of dependence on expensive, dangerous and climate-destroying fossil fuels.

The dwindling gas fields has been a known issue for Taranaki for years.
No new commercial gas fields have been found for decades.
National are crying wolf to cover for their climate vandalism.

newsroom.co.nzLuxon is having a tanty because Seymour and Winston have been pissing all over his leadership ever since the media event to sign the coalition agreement
with the expected cold weather you could probably leave it hanging there overnight 😂
This is a great description for how utterly terrible these things are
The point of a system is what it does. WINZ work seminars are humiliating, inconvenient excuses to cut people's benefits. They fail to get people into good jobs. They are working as intended.
this is similar to my previous experience, utter waste of time and money
now I am curious how a frypan qualifies as 'extremely sexy' and whether I need one of said frypans
National are hoping the solution to rigging the number of people on Jobseeker support is getting them all a few hours a week working in fast food outlets #nzpol
Another reminder that WINZ 'jobs workshop' are an utter waste of time and money, and yet another example of the new government have no ideas and just rolling out failed policies of the past #nzpol
I don't know where this 'work from holiday' idea came from, but it sounds terrible. I know some people tend to do it anyway, but I don't think it's something that should be encouraged.
I also have the opposite problem, I have too much annual leave owing that I should be using more of 🤔
"Digitisation programme will close on 30 June 2024.
The programme had time-limited funding through to this date"
"The digitisation programme has been running since 2017."
Nothing in that indicates to me lack of funding from the previous government. Lots of things submit yearly funding bids
Is having a national archive considered too 'woke' for the new government? #nzpol
What the actual f*ck…
This is insane…

the work would have started under the previous government, but scrapping all the work for virtue signalling is entirely on the current government
I hear Epsom and Botany are great locations for new wind farms 🤔

newsroom.co.nzit's well overdue for them ask for her to be removed as a judge. She is very clearly biased.
Burger King changing that extremely annoying chewing noise ad to complete silence is bliss.
And a great marketing switch up 👍
I am confused because I didn't think this policy was meant to apply to staff?
these would be useful things to learn at school. Like sending messages on the Unix servers to your mate at the other desk doing their SQL work.
We used to play computer games during 'typing' class at college. We were typing, just not what the teacher was expecting 😂
