The NZ government position on America has always been stupid but each passing day just further highlights that stupidity #nzpol

Submitters’ primary concerns about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines 
can be categorised as follows. 
° mRNA vaccines (which use messenger RNA to instruct the body’s cells to 
produce a viral protein that evokes an immune response in the person 
receiving them) alter DNA or modify genes, causing cancer and other 
harmful conditions.
° The manufacturing process for Comirnaty was changed which affected 
its safety.
° The Comirnaty vaccine was still ‘experimental’ at the time of approval 
and had not been properly tested.
° The Comirnaty vaccine produced harmful side effects which authorities 
have not acted on appropriately.
° The long-term effects of the Comirnaty vaccine remain uncertain. 
1383 We have carefully considered these issues, drawing on advice and evidence 
from a range of experts and sources, including studies provided to us 
by submitters, research published in leading scientific journals and 
conclusions from international regulatory authorities and the COVID-19 
Vaccine Independent Safety Monitoring Board. This review makes clear 
that the concerns raised are not grounded in reliable evidence or aligned 
with scientific consensus. While we acknowledge the sincerity of those 
who brought these concerns to us, ultimately our conclusions reflect the 
most robust and widely accepted scientific evidence available.

Prepare for meltdowns from any VFF or similar people in your life. I think they genuinely convinced themselves the phase 2 report was going to prove them right.
Reader, it did not.

unknown YouTube video by The Kākā with Bernard Hickey

"it's really critical that across society people increase their economic literacy to understand the utter BS that so many politicians particularly the legacy parties are spreading when it comes to the appropriate size of government or debt as opposed to ... the purpose of those two things."

NZ has lined up with 'MAGA US states' on oil, former Marsden Point boss says While others are switching to renewables, this country is "going down the 1980s' path", David Keat says.

Ouch!

Chloe does have a good understanding of the issues. It’s funny that ACT and NZ First think simply having Te Reo naming alongside its English translation is too confusing for us kiwis to comprehend and yet the Greens think we can actually understand modern economic theory.

A Mini-Hoon with Chloe Swarbrick about fossil fuels, housing and fiscal strategy Green Co-Leader Chloe Swarbrick talks about the urgent need to decarbonise & provide housing, along with challenging the bipartisan assumptions & '30-30' arbitrary rules about size of Govt & debt/GDP.

Chloe Swarbrick calls on New Zealanders to increase their economic literacy so they understand the "utter BS" most politicians spout on the economy.

Here, she deals with the purely ideological 30/30 Rule that has held New Zealand back for decades #nzpol thekaka.substack.com/p/a-mini-hoo...

#NZPol These articles are such absolute bullshit. The housing crime and climate ones all are based on the the government essentially stopping counting the issues properly.

"misinformation" is giving a little bit of a benefit of the doubt these days

NZ media are actively engaging in *disinformation* on multiple fronts, no reason to think that they aren't actively doing that with covid as well - especially given the amplification of coalition lies about the review

Everyone can submit a formal written complaint by email to the Editor-in-Chief at keith.lynch@stuffdigital.co.nz

within 1 month of the articles publication. Then escalate to NZ media council if not addressed

nick leggett's legacy coming brutally and destructively to the fore now with NZ's immense reliance on roads and truck freight

very few people who can so singularly be held responsible for the failures of policy, and especially without having any real public accountability whatsoever

Slightly confused here, your website says that you want to eliminate large donations and yet you're happy to accept $100k from an extremely unsavoury character so where do you actually stand?
