What if there was a 2 term limit on being the PM of NZ? Just as there is with being President of the USA. Governments that depend on the PR polish of a popular leader to win elections would never get more than 2 terms, and neither should… https://t.co/nhqLGiRqHV

Some natural disasters, like the downpours that have condemned houses in Whakatū (Nelson) and now Tamaki Makaurau (Auckland), are known to be amplified in frequency and severity by climate change. To subsidise the rising costs of cleaning… https://t.co/eoSNDxOtBc

It's not often I agree with Simon Bridges, but I don't think think small business should have to rely on user-pays insurance to fund their recovery from natural disasters. We have #EQC for collectively-funded earthquake insurance, why not replicate or… https://t.co/N8n2gP07DI

As a child, I was bawled out by people in authority for not looking them in the eye when I spoke to them. I also remember strangers snarling 'what are ＊you＊ looking at!' when I made eye contact with them and prepared to say 'hi'. I… https://t.co/sqPMtqXFyY

"This is due to the way s53 of the Intelligence and Security Act is phrased, referring only to NZ citizens and permanent residents (that is, natural rather than legal persons). But it seems to be a loophole, resulting in a lower standard of oversight for… https://t.co/hujfh6lLrj

"In the meta-positioning frame of mind, thinking and judgment are displaced by a complex, ever-shifting, and often fraught triangulation based on who holds certain views and how one might be perceived for advocating or failing to… https://t.co/ePN9KOVlgP

I actually burst into tears while reading this article and this was one of the paragraphs that set me off. I've been supporting campaigns related to climate change since the early 1990s, when most politicians and the news media were still treating… https://t.co/yAoqUFW9el

"It’s important to remember what [XR] has achieved. The British public are way more concerned about climate change than they were before, that’s a lasting impact. How climate change is talked about in society has changed for the better and there’s… https://t.co/D5JWCEJE6b
