Helpful guidance on making a submission to the Aotearoa New Zealand Covid Inquiry covidaction.nz/en/covidinquiry
A question again for the untethered "you need to catch viral infections to build immunity" crowd (which is almost every flipping person in my country): PLEASE PROVIDE A LIST OF THE VIRUSES YOU SHOULD CATCH, AT WHAT AGE, AT WHAT DOSAGE, AND AT WHAT FREQUENCY.
Te Pāti Māori Co-leaders @Rawiri_Waititi and @whaeadeb are demanding that the NZ Government expel the Israeli ambassador if Israel does not immediately implement a ceasefire and open safe humanitarian aid corridors into Gaza.
Great series of science-based resources on Covid safety - how it spreads, how to avoid catching it, what to do if you do catch it - from @covidactionnz covidaction.nz/en/keepingsafe…
This is horrific
We cannot thank you enough. Biggest campaign in Green Party history. Please remember to vote, and we’ll see you on election night. ✅✅
We ran a nationwide Health Quiz. Here are the results: 6,500 respondents, 51% stated health 'worse' since the pandemic & of those 79% stated having covid at least once. Could it be Long Covid? Take the quiz if you were one of the 'worse' off people (& have no other diagnosis to…
#BREAKING in Newshub’s final pre-election polling the Greens are on 14.9%, & NINETEEN MPs in Parliament. The Green wave is here. It’s happening. The most important thing now is that everyone goes out and VOTES. The time is now.
After listening to Luxon this morning on RNZ please remember this
Excellent article 💯 thespinoff.co.nz/science/03-10-…
Great piece on the ravages of Covid from @freya_sawbridge thespinoff.co.nz/science/03-10-…
70 years of relative prosperity and peace without existential challenge will make your life feel like endless freedom, and any coordinated emergency government action seem like repression. Societies of spoiled children. A cultural reality, not an analogy.
I don’t understand the anger at people who don’t have much. If you’re wealthy, or comfortable, if your kids are warm & fed, if you own properties, if you have savings etc. Why act vengeful or jealous of someone who has an income of $25,000ish. 80% move to a job within a year.
#nzpol. Covid is not over. It's here to stay. Take a moment to think carefully on which party will look after you the best if you get Long Covid? Use your vote wisely because it may be the only help you'll have left. nzherald.co.nz/nz/the-front-p…

Target the hubs. Covid’s breeding grounds. Schools already have worse air quality than most other public or private buildings, it’s long overdue even without a pandemic. The action needed to eliminate Covid from wide circulation is much smaller than we think.
There’s an interesting little nugget of data in the ONS Winter Infection Survey report: ➡️ Teachers were up to 44% MORE LIKELY to test positive for Covid compared with the reference group… …EXCEPT during wave 2. Now guess when wave 2 was…? Yup. That was the Xmas holidays.
Gorgeous heart lifting launch at Good Books - the genius Jane Arthur has written a book for kids who feel weird and awkward and for adults who still feel like that - here’s to Brown Bird and excellent weirdos and wonderful bookshops that we need and will miss 😭❤️🔥
And I bet he doesn’t fall off or spill his coffee . Imagine Luxon the Lame on a bicycle 🚲 😂
We’re “post Covid”, according to the new Chair of Pharmac, the entity that decides which medicines and related products are funded and made available to the New Zealand public. This bodes well.🫠
Pharmac Chair appointed | Beehive.govt.nz Just look at this! I’m gagging. beehive.govt.nz/release/pharma…
We are still in a pandemic which requires sick leave to mitigate. Almost half of us will experience mental distress or illness in our lifetime; sick leave isn’t just physical. People have families that need care too. The cruelty clearly remains the point. thepress.co.nz/business/35023…
Well I am proud Tangata Tiriti, and one day (hopefully soon) I am going to be proud to kick Christopher Luxon and his scum bag government in to the bin.
Whenever feeling down about the destruction wreaked by this Coalition Government, and the erosion of our democracy for the promotion of #AtlasNetwork buyouts and takeovers, revisit the Hurricanes Poua and the Freyberg High School haka and know there is hope.
Hakas are going to be the undoing of this awful Government.
My old high school doing good things. Well done.

I’m going to attempt this beginner’s pattern wraparound dress. (The one with pockets because pockets) Apparently it’s meant to only take a few hours. As for me, I should be able to finish it in time for Christmas 😂

Students protested David Seymour with a haka as he left Freyberg High School in Palmerston North today. The rangatahi are alright. 🖤🤍❤️
Kia ora @TeWhatuOra, this is an OIA request. Please could you confirm when the updated Novavax vaccine will be available in NZ? It is one day before our XBB rollout and there is apparently only one option available? Please provide visibility here. Very concerned to see the below.
Novavax: "Based upon a delay to our Australia XBB regulatory review, we now expect APA sales for both Australia & New Zealand, originally anticipated for the 1st quarter of 2024 to now occur later in 2024 upon their respective authorizations." How late in 2024 @Mark_Butler_MP???
If there’s 17% women in a room, the men in the group think it's 50-50. If there's 33% women, men perceive that as there being more women in the room than men. Of 49 people in National, 16 are women - 33%. All this to say, perception of “progress” and reality are not the same.
It’s International Women’s Day – a day to acknowledge the women around us who make our lives so special, and to recognise the important role all women play in society. Our Government backs women to succeed, which is reflected in our priorities: a stronger economy where people…
There is this thing that narcissists often do where they accuse someone of doing the thing they are actually doing. A made up example might be “a massive salad of soundbites is not going to cut it,” from someone whose entire existence depends on soundbites, about someone else.
I feel like next time Elmo asks how we are all doing our response might be something like “we’re grieving the loss of the ability to be confident that everything is mostly under control and the loss of certainty the things we deeply love will be valued and protected.” Kia kaha.
Remember when media would ask Jacinda Ardern about the cost of a thing and she’d tell you the cost, both the wording and word count of the associated policy, the date and time it was written and the names of the author’s kids and then be like… “if my memory serves me correctly.”
This seems fine 🫠
@Writagal Funding for wastewater testing for covid is due to end 30 June this year. Whether it will continue depends on the May budget. You could let your MP know if this is important to you. I'm not expecting this government to fund so etching that could be used to make it look bad.
“Making every government department communicate primarily in English” was a stated intent by National & NZ First - inevitable result below. If you’re getting this instruction, push back, speak out, contact your union. Language suppression is unacceptable. nzherald.co.nz/kahu/health-nz…
