@alaskantexanQCT She's more likely letting her loved ones know she's okay, as anyone would. Delete your account, you idiot.

🧵Kia ora. I've been head-down writing all day, so it took me a minute to catch up with "prioritising Māori for surgery" story. I think it's really an illustration of what's wrong with our media and our politics.

Damn. Three Covid cases at Mum's rest home. She's fine, but they're all confined to rooms. "I thought it was all over with," she said. That's because she unfortunately listens to misinforming clowns on Newstalk ZB.

Idiotic culture war politics. The legal basis is questionable, councils are confused and Simeon Brown is exactly the Transport minister he looked like being.

Minister pulls brakes on cycling and walking initiatives

In a letter to local authorities, Transport Minister Simeon Brown said he told Waka Kotahi to halt work on cycling and walking initiatives.

Mate who went down the antivax/ivermectin hole and ended up at Parliament is now back in AK and having a bad time with Covid. He's still resisting science, but sort of acknowledges it might have been better if he was vaccinated. Not going to argue now, just want to see him well.

It’s good that New Zealanders can finally listen to Lorde’s Solar Power album in the weather conditions for which it was designed.

At the risk – nay, certainty – of upsetting my Labour friends, I think tonight's poll says "vote Chloe in Auckland Central".

Andrew Little just once again cited the 2020 referendum into cannabis LEGALISATION as evidence that New Zealanders aren't yet ready to get behind drug DECRIMINALISATION and frankly someone needs to intervene.

Not a great day for Luxon. He's previously said, on TV, that he owns a Tesla. Then it was his wife who owned it. Now it appears that the family has upgraded to another Tesla – and claimed the clean car discount on both of them! Just hapless.

National leader Christopher Luxon appears to have claimed Clean Car Discount on new Tesla | Newshub

We ran the number plate through the Clean Car Discount website.

Does anyone really need to hear what Don Brash thinks about a Māori Health Authority?

Even if you've decided to dig in, I'm really not sure "entitled" is a wise word to use. Oof.

A bitter, foolish old man goes straight for the Godwin, because giving Māori stakeholders a voice is what Nazi Germany did, apparently. Does Peters believe his own bullshit? Sadly, probably yes.

The NZ First leader's speech was very similar to what he said during the campaign.

Jason Walls asks why the government presented the TMP modelling at yesterday's 1pm briefing. Robertson: because if we hadn't, you'd all have said we were hiding it.
