A leader among leaders. Pānia Papa sets the pace. The heir apparent to Tā Tīmoti Karetu, there are few so eloquent in either te reo Māori or English. She’s our Poureo for Kotahi Rau Pukapuka, among her many other commitments. So deserving of this recognition. Whakanuia 🙌🏽

In Florida, a driver lost consciousness and other drivers on the road stepped in to help. This moment was caught on camera 🎥🚗

Hey New Zealand! How about it? The rise of the housing crisis seemed to parallel the exact rise of Air BnB. Has anyone done this graph? Marc Daalder 😷 Wear a Mask for example?

We need to take care with direct comparisons, but the last time we had a similar wastewater level (May), there were 200 cases reported per day not 52. Reported cases = an undercount. Wastewater is the one to watch. Time to wear a mask on buses/trains and in crowded indoor places.

If you have whānau or friends who say "Labours done nothing in 6 years" please show them this video, where everything is nicely listed off in a clear way. Just make sure they have their listening ears on first. vt.tiktok.com/ZSNR8ndmp/

Ok, this voting from overseas is actually a pain in the arse! No wonder people don't bother, and numbers aren't high when it comes to overseas voters. 🙄 I will persist, though. Anything to keep the Nats and Seymour out.

Labour MP reports assault to police, Te Pāti Māori candidate reports home invasion and threatening letter. This is so far beyond “passionate” debate and a “robust” election campaign. Time for people and political leaders of all stripes to get real and call this crap out.

Cutting fair pay agreements would be a disaster for public transport and other public services we are just rebuilding. It’s another evidence free policy that should never be put in place, just like policies to make housing more costly, increase emissions and make roads less safe.

This makes me so mad #NationalPartyOfLies

Enough is enough. It's time Luxon stood up and said in a loud voice that both ACT and NZF stop the racism or he's out. They drop any racist policies or he's out. Make sure his and their supporters here that message. 1news.co.nz/2023/09/29/te-…
