@CameronJBear At the same time, anyone 65+ with a home, will be asked for $20k plus every year in land tax, just to stay in the home they paid off.

@BrianTamakiNZ@TWikiriwhi Brian, our education system has been so dumbed down our kiwi youth are leaving school only knowing how to hongi, haka and hui. Immigrant young people are getting a better education in their third world countries and most have a good work ethic because of no benefits.
Simon O'Connor shares how a New Zealand primary school is actively promoting gender ideology and fluidity, starting with five-year-olds! 😟😡
It's a warning to all parents and grandparents to check carefully what schools are teaching your kids.

@bobmccoskrienz@hoytsNZ Riccarton in Christchurch took Melania Documentary down only a few days after the release, so we can’t see it anywhere in Christchurch now. Shame on you @HoytsNZ !
Wow. 13-year-old boy credits God for helping him swim 4 hours in the freezing ocean to save his stranded mother and siblings
"I don't think it was actually me [swimming]... It was God the whole time. I kept on praying, kept on praying. I said to God, 'I'll get baptized.'"

Mildly embarrassed that I’ve forgotten to tell my X friends that I am resigning from the New Zealand Parliament mid this year to take up a new role as President of the Law Commission in New Zealand. It’s a great role with law reform at its heart and I am absolutely thrilled.
The Prime Minister has kindly asked me to stay as a Minister for a few months so, until then, I’m keeping on with my ministerial roles and my work as a constituency Member of Parliament. I’ve been an MP for 24 years and during that time have held 18 different ministerial posts. Time for a change! 😊
Fascinating to observe the almost total silence from loudly pro-Palestinian celebrities & media figures re the courageous Iranian protestors
risking their lives for freedom and democracy. Suggests their hatred of Israel overrides intellectual honesty and principle.
I’m picking there’ll be a helluva lot of people disappointed that the mouldy school lunch saga is likely the fault of the school, and not the provider of the lunches.
The school principal will be gutted, too, that her engineered moment of high drama which catapulted her into the limelight, with the help of willing drongo journos, will end up being highly embarrassing rather than a highlight of her career.
🟥 NZ 🇳🇿 - Mould-Gate
The mouldy food farce highlights how an activist Principal had her false claims amplified by legacy media without due investigation that has led an embarrassing farce.
Haeata Principal Peggy Burrows has previous form and is another activist with a known agenda which legacy media ignored.
Now MPI confirms moudly lunches have NOT been refrigerated at the school and not sent from the food company in sub optimal manner.
The truth is now running free & legacy media is scrambling to catch up.
I welcome the findings of the New Zealand Food Safety investigation into the mouldy lunches at Haeata Community Campus. The investigation concluded ‘it is more than likely that the affected meals at the school had been delivered the previous Thursday, remained at the school without refrigeration, and then were accidentally re-served to students along fresh meals delivered on Monday. This would explain the deterioration of the meals.’
From the outset, this was always the likely outcome. Unfortunately, the likes of RNZ chose to breathlessly report every unverified claim made by the principal without pausing to ask basic questions or wait for the outcome of an investigation.
Journalism is supposed to apply critical thinking, not simply act as a megaphone for whoever is most eager to talk to the media and fits their narrative. When an allegation could damage a company’s reputation, frighten parents, and undermine confidence in a programme feeding thousands of kids, the minimum standard should be to test those claims against the evidence.
The real tragedy here is for the students. Over the last 24 hours their principal has found time for endless media interviews, attempting to politicise a mistake made by her school and create a controversy to smear others. That is not an educator’s role. The first responsibility of a school is to its students’ learning and wellbeing, not to run a media campaign. My thoughts are with parents whose children have been affected by this debacle.
@GregPresland Because the Principal left them out to rot. Nothing to do with @dbseymour He wasn’t there. Get your facts straight. All to do with Peggy Burrows to take a swipe at the Gvt. @PeggyPeggyb
Seymour should do the decent thing and ask Peggy Burrows if there is anything she wants to come clean about before ordering a Ministry investigation into her conduct.
🚨 WOW! The voicemail has been released President Trump sent to the Osbourne family following the passing of Ozzy 🙏
"Love him or hate him, he didn't have to call and leave that voicemail."
VOICEMAIL: "It's Donald Trump. I just wanted to wish you the best, and the family. Ozzy was amazing, an amazing guy, I met him a few times. I want to tell you, he was unique in EVERY way and talented. I just wanted to wish you the best. It's a tough thing. I know how close you were. Whatever I can do. Take care of yourself. Say hello to the family. Thanks. Bye."
Such a good man.
