Imperialism is when a few rich countries; like the United States, Britain, and France; control and exploit poor countries like they do today in Kenya. They do not need to send soldiers as they did in the days of colonialism; today they use money, companies, and loans.

Some interesting reading here for NZ govt and farmers. Actions (or non-actions) have consequences. On land near Cork, Ireland investigates ways to cut farming’s carbon hoofprint nzherald.co.nz/world/on-land-…

Good questions! It beggars belief that a “no surprises” regime was not in operation. Why were Mitchell and Luxon not well aware of the situation? Many more miles to go with this story. Nothing is what it appears to be. nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/je…

Seriously does this so-called govt just wake up every morning and think "What's the fucking dumbest thing possible I can do today?" "The proposal included cutting... four wildfire specialists" 😳🙄#nzpol Govt must stop 'short-sighted' FENZ cuts - PSA rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

Keystone Cops. Yet more evidence that self-promotion by NZ Police that it is world class is manifestly untrue - it is BS! Each day, they dig themselves a deeper hole from which they appear to find themselves impossible to extricate. nzherald.co.nz/nz/jevon-mcski…

Shouldn’t Minister Mitchell’s resignation letter already be with PM? Isn’t ministerial responsibility based on principle of “buck stops” with minister whether or not he was personally responsible for the failures. Bottom line it happened under minister’s watch when he was MIA.

Expect PM to have ordered a fleet of buses for Wellington in anticipation of growing number of people who will have to be thrown under a bus.

"If we're cutting down hospices people are going to suffer." Sir Michael Palin, whose wife spent the final weeks of her life in a hospice, delivers a message to the Chancellor about the importance of funding hospice care ahead of the budget. #Newsnight

"Those last four weeks of her life when she was in the hospice, I think it's odd to say, but were some of the happiest of her life." Sir Michael Palin reflects on the care his wife received in a hospice, as he calls for more support for hospices in the budget. #Newsnight

This Govt is completely out of touch with their own country. We don't want or need Atlas Network's culture war. Schools across Aotearoa reaffirm commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi after changes to Education Act rnz.co.nz/news/political…

“Burn, baby, burn”. Another NZ First triumph following on from their “dig, baby, dig” approach to the use of non-renewable mineral resources

All the school boards on the North Shore announcing their intention to continue to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. So good to see. 😍

Yes. I have seen Kingfishers, especially on the telephone lines at Glinks Gully on Ripiro Beach on the west coast of Northland in New Zealand.

“Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade officials recommended New Zealand recognise Palestine in early advice the Government ultimately ignored. “ Good solid advice from MFAT based on evidence and our interests. Peters apparently knew better and shamed us. thepost.co.nz/politics/36088…

Parker is no “Snow White”. Any connection with money laundering case in 2021 when he was named as high-profile sportsman at centre of court case involving international drug ring? Other than having Parker named why did NZ Police not proceed further. WTF. nzherald.co.nz/sport/boxing/j…
