- Do you love whales? Do you know someone else loves whales? I think you do. www.greens.org.nz/green_member...
- It's been incredible up in Waitangi seeing these three wāhine toa working together www.teaonews.co.nz/2026/02/05/w...
- Headline vs who benefits in this supposed trickle down economy "the highest-spending households recorded the lowest inflation rate at 0.8% [...] Rent increased 1.9% over the year and was the main contributor to rising living costs for beneficiary households." www.interest.co.nz/personal-fin...
- Love this description of the House of Lord from AP, published in Stuff this morning
- So, even more costs to local communities and likely increases to council rates (at a time when the government says to cap them) so politicians can get from the airport to the beehive more quickly www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3609...
- City Mission continues to do amazing work and not surprising it's using Ora Toa dentists (presumably from Ngāti Toa iwi's medical service). Free dental should be available to everyone with dental needs and community based providers like City Mission should be fully supported to help communities
- "Ordinary people, not polluters, are being asked to pick up the tab, while major carbon emitters continue to escape the costs of the damage they contribute to." Would have been useful for the media to emphasise this in 2023. Public good before corporate greed. www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...
- For those wondering why I have bags of wool securely stored under my bed (next to the bottles of water WCC told me to store during the Great Drought of summer 23-24) with the expectation the value of wool will soon exceed gold
- A lot of people always ask me to explain New Zealand to them. Here is the first part of my attempt to explain everything about Aotearoa to people who have never been there and will (hopefully) never go: notagrift.com/explaining-a...
