@biggsintweets Air NZ is set to replace their Boeing 777's with Dreamliners by 2027. I do wonder what the implications are given that one whistleblower last week called for every Dreamliner worldwide to be grounded due to safety concerns💀theguardian.com/business/2024/…
Honestly, what an asshole. Another 1,000 people found out they're losing their jobs today, and the PM is still insulting the work they do.
Maybe the new @NZStuff TV news could try something different and have a nightly arts and literature news segment. Needn't be long, even 3 minutes would be more than we usually see at the moment (unless a NZer wins the Booker), and lots of people would watch just for that.
scrapping fair pay agreements, ending arts and news funding, cutting public servant jobs, making renting a nightmare, funding more housing speculation. this government is trying it's hardest to make every young person move to Australia.
for no particular reason, here's 11 and a half minutes of norm macdonald shitting on oj simpson
A great response from PATHA. More global experts calling out the flawed Cass Review. "This review ignores the consensus of major medical bodies around the world and lacks relevance in an Aotearoa context" patha.nz/News/13341582
God I wish Norm was here
Just to be clear, this govt thinks 12+ tamariki aren't old or mature enough to make an informed decision to protest, learn about queer people, get taught appropriate sex education - but they ARE old enough to get sent to a youth prison or boot camp 👍
New Zealander of the Year nominations are now pointless. It’s this girl, who will also be the coolest kid at her school pretty much forever. #hesadickso
The best job application goes to.. We reckon this student's sense of humour would fit in well at Scott Base, but they might need to stick it out in maths class a little longer and finish school first!
The spokesperson for the New Zealand Jewish Council everybody, getting so upset over a school climate strike that she is willing to compare it to Nazi Germany

.@EricaStanfordMP on RNZ Morning Report said ERO report on NZ history claims schools are teaching “all Māori history”+nothing else. Not what report says. It says 64% of teachers are including Māori history+“sometimes” teachers are interpreting local history to mean Māori history.
A sad article about Dunedin losing one of its most iconic murals. Comments closed in under 2 hours because *two* trolls start shit stirring about a war on "men and women" and "pedofile" (sic) rainbow crossings. Why can't locals just be allowed to reflect on what they have lost?
Question: Who would you rather read a story to your children? My #cartoon today #RainbowCrossings
these people are so unserious lmao, what a joke

@NZFreeSpeech Perhaps the University realised that two of the speakers engaging in this event receive funding from the same organisation, thereby limiting the diversity of opinion required.
@NZFreeSpeech Maybe they’ve just heard it all before & simply choose not to support it? “The speech that [the Free Speech Union] are looking to defend is consistently speech that fits under the United Nations' definition of hate speech”

REPORTERS: Melissa Lee has had the media portfolio for 6 years, why can't she do it? LUXON: because the media portfolio has become complex That hurt
An email from a listener: “Kia ora Emile, I've noticed you look remarkably like this ceramic sculpture that looks judgmentally down upon my dining nook. Image of you for comparison... What do you think? Lisa”
Bold move by Luxon
It's tough for Melissa Lee personally but the reality is she needs to adapt to the PM's evolving preferences so that she can build a sustainable future

Shocked and saddened by this news. I had only a passing acquaintance with Ben at conferences, but I valued his scholarship, especially the attention he brought to colonial urban history in The Big Smoke. RIP
Author Ben Schrader sadly passed away last week. Ben wrote widely on Aotearoa's urban history, including two acclaimed & influential books 'We Call it Home: A History of State Housing in New Zealand' (Reed, 2005) & 'The Big Smoke: New Zealand Cities, 1840–1920' (BWB, 2016).

Does NZ really want a strongman leader who “breaks the rules”? This week’s column unpicks the latest surveys on whether populism is taking hold here. Also feat. Shane Jones, and the need for a politics of redistribution (and democratic renewal). thepost.co.nz/nz-news/350251…
Some of the environments prisoners transformed were massive! At Waihopai Estuary in Invercargill, unfree labour drained 2,400 acres or 10 square kilometres of wetlands – that's over 1,500 football fields. Couldn't believe my eyes when I found this image in the AJHRs
We had more public servants (actual numbers, not just as a % of the population) in the 1980s than we do now. And we had 2 million fewer people to serve back then
In 2010 the whole of the public sector made up 19.7% of NZ’s total workforce. In 2023 it made up 18.8%. Claims there has been an explosion in the public sector are pure spin to justify sacking hard working Kiwis to pay for unaffordable tax cuts. This govt has the wrong priorities
