As a NZer, I’m ashamed of and disgusted by this result. Jacinda saved over EIGHTY THOUSAND kiwis lives (based on models) due to her brave and visionary Covid response, and this is how the country thanks her?

And even if you accept the lame excuse that it’s “just a mast” why would they illuminate a mast except as a celebration of colonialism? It’s racism and religious bigotry in one. So probably a perfect symbol for Christchurch really

When that Boxing Day sherry starts to hit just right, @mrsrosieb lets her true colours shine. I applaud her for saying out loud what most in NZ refuse to acknowledge - this country was built on white supremacy
Playing Six60 in between overs is actually a genius move by the DJ, as their execrable BBQ reggae dirges actually make the on-field cricket 200% more entertaining by comparison
