I literally never knew that NZ teachers hid Pacific Island students in trap doors to keep immigration from finding them in school. And only 7 years before I was born.

Yes Judith was handed a shit show. Yes she was up against an incredible PM. Yes this whole year has been tough.
But she was just so nasty. She was a bully. We’ve all worked for bullies. Worked with bullies. Dated bullies. Gone to school with bullies. We didn’t want to elect one
Saw a protestor holding a sign “how many boosters are you willing to get, three, four, five? When will it stop?”
Lady, I get jabbed in the butt every 12 WEEKS just so I don’t get my period. A jab every 6 months to keep away Covid is just fine 👌🏼
Djokovic has been deported.
Pharma Bro has to pay back $94m.
Prince Andrew will face court.
Tamaki is in a holding cell.
2022 looks like the year that men might finally face their consequences
Why is he so hell bent on punishing beneficiaries. I was on a benefit 3 years ago. Was made redundant from my dream career then my brother died. It took me 7 months to get back on my feet. It was an awful time in my life. Imagine feeling further punished by a man in a suit.
Absolutely fuming. Contraception isn’t just about sex. 1 in 10 NZ women have endometriosis. The only thing that stops me being in horrible, intense pain EVERY MONTH, from endo is contraception. Make no mistake. He wants to control our bodies.
Queenstown hospo: “OPEN THE BORDERS LET US HAVE CUSTOMERS AGAIN”
Also Queenstown hospo: NO NOT LIKE THAT. We don’t want the consequences of our actions
All the conservatives not realising this isn’t about a $5 prescription. We’ve sat back and watched what they’ve done in America and this man seems to idolise the country and their politics and he’s trying to be our leader.
This isn’t just about a $5 prescription.
3 of the Taranaki cases are children. Imagine knowing that Covid Delta is attacking children and still choosing not to get vaccinated. Imagine having a vulnerable child in your life and deciding your beliefs are more important than their health.
Richard Hills: evacuate if you need to, fill bottles, charge phones, pack an escape bag, be careful in flood water, remain calm, check on neighbours
The actual Mayor: yes, too much water I think is the issue. Too much of it.
The Prime Minister spoke to media in Nelson this morning. On the 1 News live stream there’s 23 people who have left a laughing emoji. Whatever you think of the PM or the party, there are people in Nelson that have lost their homes. That reaction is disgusting.
My Ranfurly shield story:
When I worked in radio we had it in our tent at an A&P show. After the show finished. No one knew where it was going, there was no one to collect. So I took it home. Had it for around 4 hours. Invited some mates around. Had a couple casual beers with it
Meanwhile the Nelson Nat candidate REPEATEDLY told a group of intellectually disabled young people that an “average family will get $100 a fortnight” knowing damn well no one in that room would qualify. And watched them get excited because they didn’t understand
The National Party has admitted that only 3000 households will get the full $250 a fortnight tax cut they've been campaigning on, but rejects Labour's claims they have scammed New Zealanders.

Full interview with National's Nicola Willis on Midday Report.
Unbelievable effort to pass the blame. On average 8 of 10 people will only read a headline. If they see an ad that says you could get $250, they’ll assume they’ll get $250. Standard typical behaviour from Newstalk/Herald/NZME.
This story on the SPCA on Sunday is a hard watch. I can’t believe there’s no minister for animal welfare but there’s a minister for horse racing!?! That Winston got $70mil for horse racing but the SPCA gets $2.8 to uphold the animal welfare act
When Jacinda was in Nelson there was a large group of people wearing Labour tops with hoardings on the corner. They were clearly placed there. But when word spread she was coming the crowd grew and was it mental. That’s the difference from Judith’s Ponsonby road
The thing these RW politicians, journos and economists keep forgetting is that removing gst from veges brings us in line with our overseas friends like Australia. They’re so desperate to compare us to overseas countries except when it doesn’t suit their narrative.
Trying to find a rental. The amount of “this property is not for a flatmate situation”.
I’m closer to 40 than 20. I’m not looking for a party house. I just want somewhere I can share rent with another adult :(
I can only assume by introducing a mental health fitness to work, that National will also be introducing a ton more sick leave, or increasing benefits through WINZ to cater for those who can’t work? I wouldn’t have been able to work for a solid 3 years.
On Friday I emailed
@_chloeswarbrick
to tell her about the journey my brother & my family is going through as we watch my brother die. Today Chloe read my email in parliament on the final reading of the cannabis bill. May Jacob’s legacy live on when this bill is passed. ❤️
As shit as the internet can be. It does have its wins. A lady posted to a community page about a young dude (around 11) busking outside a supermarket trying to earn money to buy a guitar case. Nelson immediately responded and he had a new guitar case gifted that afternoon.
Manu is crying 😭
He is the man that the men of our country need to see on tv. He is the definition of a role model. He’s a stay at home dad who isn’t afraid of his emotions.

Today I sat on the sidewalk and held a tea towel against an old mans head and kept him talking while we waited for an ambulance after he fell down a step and suffered a nasty gash to his forehead. Basically what I’m saying is that I’m saint.
At 8.50pm last night we released my brother into the arms of the angels. His lifelong suffering & pain is finally over and he’s free of his broken body. Goodbye baby brother, you deserve your wings in heaven ❤️
I just got my marks back for my last assessment. 🤯😬 97.5/100
I was absolutely preparing for the worst. And it was the biggest assessment of that paper.
$750 to be an entitled POS who doesn't think the rules apply to them is a steal right?
This sentencing sends a strong message to rule breakers that if you're wealthy, she'll be right mate.
@Atomic_Moog
Flatmates calls her dad who owns the house “omg dad come here right now!” Dad walks in “why the fuck is the Ranfurly in my house”
Cracks open a beer 😂
I won $15 in the big lotto draw last night.
I am requesting privacy while I navigate what this means for my family. I will front any media questions once we’ve had time to process this.
Thank you. No further comment
Over the past few days there’s been so much chatter that Diana should’ve been queen. People forgetting they divorced…….And even if Camilla wasn’t in the picture. Do people really believe their toxic marriage would’ve lasted the 40 years to get here?
Luxon in the last month
- I don’t want to call Winston
- I’ll call Winston
- Who is Winston
- DON’T MAKE ME CALL HIM
- This is your fault
- Yeah we can work together
Got a new job, joined a gym, went to the dentist, graduated with a diploma, started semester 2 on another diploma, hair & eyebrow appointment & marrying a couple this weekend.
Renaming this as “get shit done July”
@ShoshanaHantman
Back in the 70s & 80s immigration were deporting islanders. It got to the stage they started doing school visits. So teachers would hide island children under the floor boards. I never knew this till TVNZ National Treasures show last night
If the experts know that 1 wants kids and the other doesn’t and still put them together I find that incredibly cruel. Finding love & a partner is the chance to finally become a parent. They’ve already at their last resort by going on this show.
#MAFSNZ
Flying to Auckland once & the lady in front of me had a 5yo, a toddler & a baby, all crying. I took the toddler, a bottle of milk and loaded paw patrol on my phone. You can be that help someone needs in times of desperation.
@notsailingalone
@Phil_Tanner
It certainly feels like there’s something she’s not saying, and due to privacy something that the government can’t say. The situation sucks but it feels like 1 + 2 doesn’t quite equal 3 here.
