Minister for Increasing Waste, David ‘Chunderbox’ Seymour, is producing school lunches that are so terrible that schools are having to pay to landfill the uneaten ‘food’: rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

The Speaker is currently reflecting on whether he’ll require MPs to also say ‘New Zealand’ if they use the term ‘Aotearoa’ in the House. Perhaps this might assist him in his considerations.

Quick question for NZ media, does anyone want to report on how bad and dangerous The Healthy Futures (Pae Ora) Amendment Bill is, or are most of you just content to head into privatisation of public health, undermining of Te Tiriti, removal of equity and not let the public know?

There was no rational reason to have a 2nd phase of the #NZ Royal Commission on #COVID_19 when the original Commission brought down a comprehensive & objective report. It seems even clearer now that phase 2 was always intended to be a witch-hunt. #nzpol nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/ch…
