'We're just meant to say thank you': Government u-turns on disability funding The minister has wound back controversial cuts, but those affected say the past 2 years won't be forgotten.

Fuck you very much, minister - we're just going to say thank you TO OURSELVES for making you reverse the decision.

the best part about Greens lists is guessing how members will re-rank them

A reminder - 1984 & the Rogernomics revolution is to 2026 what 1944 & the Bretton Woods Agreement was to 1984.

IOW, the economic paradigm which has dominated policy for the last 40 years has run its course. We need a fresh approach which recognises climate change & our strategic vulnerabilities.

Who loves trucks the most?

Cafe Hanoi, Auckland. Best Hoisin I’ve ever tasted 👌

‘Not the Kiwi way’: Auckland business associations call on PM to axe move-on orders In an open letter to Christopher Luxon, the Karangahape Road and Uptown business associations said the orders send the “wrong message about our society”.

Get you some business association managers like Jamey from Karangahape Road, and Brent from Uptown 👏👏👏
And big shout out to the businesses behind them, who support doing what actually works to help those without homes rather than vice signalling.

Ways the govt could quickly help New Zealanders reduce fuel usage, but probably won’t 🤷, for reasons:

⚠️ Lower speed limits
🚌 Encourage PT (eg bring back half-priced fares)
🚲 Encourage active modes (eg pop-up bike paths)
🛤️ Move freight from road to rail (eg ramp up KiwiRail)
🏡 Support work-from-home

Is that good

Stuff headline saying: "Car-less days? Government mulls Muldoon-era fuel mandates as prices soar"

Imagine betting so much public money on imported fossil liquids and farts

Stuff headline The Covid immunity cycle: Why catching the virus is basically our new booster Lloyd Burr March 12, 2026 • 4:00am

🚨 If anyone has contacts at Stuff to get this headline updated urgently please do so.

Expert advice is that getting Covid repeatedly is not like building immunity, it's more like accumulating damage. Each infection raises your risk of long Covid and serious complications.

This is unacceptable.

'I panicked': Ex-MP Paul Eagle admits falsifying quotes to gold-plate his council house

Auditor-General slates politician-turned-Chatham Islands CEO who altered quotes and contracts for a $460k publicly-funded home renovation. Jonathan Milne reports.

Ex Chatham Islands Council chief executive Paul Eagle apologises as audit exposes 'excessive' spending The former Chatham council CEO edited quotes and contracts in a $250,000 project to upgrade his own accommodation, in what an inquiry says was "exceptionally poor judgement".

You'd have to ask questions about why he was hired to a role he was wholly unqualified for.

Must be a champion arsekisser

This is a smart business idea, employees facing rising petrol prices when already stretched by cost of living would find releif and some pressure off. WFH also increases productivity despite what the micro managers say

The Inquiry is talking about a small group of young people. He knows that.

44,000 passengers to be hit by Air NZ cancellations over fuel, CEO says The airline is set to cancel around 1100 flights over fuel supply concerns, affecting the travel plans of thousands.

Now imagine if we had electrified the inter-city rail we used to have all over this nation.
