I have had a quick go at costing the current coalition negotiation, and the options open to NZ First and the National Party. it’s not an easy task that is ahead of them, and they face some tough decision. A thread…

‘Chlöe Swarbrick called for Palestine to be “free from the river to the sea”... Knowing what Jews hear, and what Hamas means by those words, she should not use them. It makes the cause of justice for Palestine materially harder to achieve.’ thepost.co.nz/a/nz-news/3501…

Well this is interesting. Shane Jones talks NZ in the Pacific, an independent foreign policy for NZ, and a more balanced approach to climate. Getting ready for certain portfolios then? youtu.be/A18-FboVR0M?si…

Just 20 mins. Watch this. Made in 1947. Hard to find a more stirring defence of tolerance and free expression today. youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4?si…

Waiting for this new government to emerge has been no worse than waiting for the final minute of your washing machine cycle. It takes forever, but it does end and you have no control over it anyway. thepost.co.nz/nz-news/350107…

Was told off by the air hostess for not paying attention to Air New Zealand ✈️ safety video on Saturday.
If it wasn't a full-length feature film that I've seen a zillion times, it would be ok, but good grief I don't need to know how many takahe are in the wild if the plane is going down.

Hamas is a terrorist organization and a dictatorship. Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader whose people are being terrorized by your country. You are an awful diplomat. You bring shame to the profession. Even your colleagues are embarrassed by you. Please stop.

“The reason many will hesitate to share a view about Israel and Gaza, let alone write about it, is that the cultural norm of tolerating speech and others’ views has weakened.” Column - Free speech isn’t a nice to have, its what stops us killing each other thepost.co.nz/a/nz-news/3501…

NZ engineers Beca built The Exchange 106 - 3rd largest tower in SE Asia - in just 4 years at the rate of one floor every two days. They also build Transmission Gully which took 70 years. It wasn’t Beca’s fault. NZ needs to get better at building stuff thepost.co.nz/a/nz-news/3500…
