That’s only in David’s PNG version putting it on one page. The original isn’t like that.

Yeah, my example was from Gull. I looked at the Mobil that is our usual (closest) place and 91 is 308.9c and 95 is 327.9c !

I know right? We bought petrol yesterday and I took a picture of the pump. Just checked #Gaspy to see how it had changed.

91 was 276.9c now 294.9c up 18c
95 was 292.9c now 303.9c up 11c
Diesel was 225.9c now 254.9 up 29c

And if you need 98 it's 353.9c RIP #AoNZ

Luxon to be bestowed honorary matai title in Samoa, at his request The title, which Luxon would receive on Monday, the Samoa PM said, was, β€˜Tui-Sinave-ma-Ulumotootua’.

So let me get this straight - Luxon is going to fly to Samoa in the middle of a global oil shortage so he can receive an award.

An award that he *asked* to be given. Not one that was offered to him.

How very Trumpy of him.

Nice! Which one did he get? We keep seeing ads for Robomate. But they are quite dear for the size we'd need!

I feel like this whole fuel shortage scenario may be worse than we even know.

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of β€œhighly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."

Just saying it right out loud now.

Filled up our Citroen Picasso with 51 litres of 95 this morning. $149.91. ouch! Also needed to fill our 91 petrol cans for our lawn mower for another $86. Both should last us about 3 months anyway, but yikes. #AoNZ

Saw this post by the police on FB:
Police will be conducting a joint training exercise with the Royal New Zealand Air Force Force No. 3 Squadron at in the Wellington CBD area between 8pm and 10pm.
Local residents will hear noise from two NH90 helicopters for about 15 minutes within that time.

I always interpret "business confidence is high" to mean "it really sucks now so I'm confident it can only get better at some point". Maybe that's just me. #nzpol

Anyone can become disabled at any time.

Your life can change in an instant, no matter how strong and healthy you think you are.

People will leave you. Funds will dry up. Life will get tougher.

It’s not a moral failing.

It’s a minority group you can join anytime.

#Ikea coming to NZ was supposed to be such a good thing, but they still can't do parcel deliveries! Today the chatbot suggested that they would give me a special $15 discount on truck shipping instead so it would only cost me $54 delivery fee. Reader, my total order was only $25. nope. #AoNZ

BREAKING: A judge refused to block a Kansas law that invalidates the driver’s licenses of transgender people and allows trans people to be sued for using public restrooms.

This isn't the final say, and we will keep fighting in court to stop this discriminatory law.

Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) data showed the country had 27 days of petrol in the country, and 22 days worth shipped but yet to arrive, 24 days of diesel, with 29 days on the water, and 28 days worth of jet fuel, with 22 days shipped.

"Overall, this report concludes that Aotearoa New Zealand did well in responding to the Covid-19 pandemic. On the whole, the decisions taken and methods used during the Covid-19 response were considered and appropriate."

perhaps a typo? It's Aotearoa. :) And some of us use #AoNZ to stand for Aotearoa New Zealand to make it more explicit.

This was in 2019. Can only imagine how all the cuts since then have made this situation more possible again.

My daughter's going to Sydney next week for a visit. I wonder if she can just get a booster while she's there? (they allow one booster per year for 18+)

08.03.2026 23:11 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Still don't understand why under 30s can't get it! My kids got their only booster in Feb 2022 (so more than 4 years ago now). And have to wait more years?

Just checked all 4 in our household. All okay. Thanks for the warning though. Worth making sure.

Surely you mean four out of five are *NOT* collecting data. Because otherwise, 20% != "most"
