Fate whispers to the Warrior “you cannot withstand the storm”

The Warrior answers “I am the storm”

I think the gap closes between the 2 majors. Potentially the Nats with their noses in front

[New Zealand Taxpayers' Union @TaxpayersUnion]

Poll coming later this week! Any predictions?

[Damian Sharkey @Sharks771]

@BrendonCorlett1 Sure does and he seems like a good guy too. Very sorry to read

[Damian Sharkey @Sharks771]

Very sad to see this.

[The Redbaiter @TheRedbaiter]

Sad news... Mark really was one of the good guys. Among current MPs a rare example of a real NZer.

How about the semi finals - why not the Azteca in Mexico City....truly iconic and historic

[Zack Cox @zm_cox]

Hard agree. MetLife epitomizes bland, boring, uninspiring stadium design. Put the final somewhere that has actual character.

[Damian Sharkey @Sharks771]

@PouTepou @DallyJamie Good to hear! I also have a mate who is good mates with Max and I hear he is a nice fellow!

[Damian Sharkey @Sharks771]

@PouTepou @DallyJamie Btw who is your pick to win Tamaki? I feel no energy locally here behind the Nats....ACT have a solid candidate but I think the Nats get up

[Damian Sharkey @Sharks771]

@PouTepou @DallyJamie lol touché!

[Damian Sharkey @Sharks771]

I couldn't quite believe it either and then immediately wondered how long it would take the Japanese!

[David Farrar @dpfdpf]

Only in government bureaucracy could they say with a straight face that a report into why a slow moving train derailed could take two years!

The incident at Khandallah yesterday was concerning, and our thoughts are with those on board.

The network is designed with multiple layers of safety. If a train passes a red signal at Khandallah, it is diverted to a runoff line to prevent any risk of collision with another train. The carriages also appear to have responded as designed — while the images are alarming, two critical safety systems appear to have functioned as intended.

The facts will be determined by independent investigators. That is TAIC’s role, and its findings will be made public as is appropriate. We encourage TAIC to complete its investigation promptly and thoroughly.

@BrendonCorlett1 Think our country faces bigger issues tbh. I know who you will be voting for Smithy!

[Damian Sharkey @Sharks771]

Good grief a vicious attack on an elderly man that is violent and caused serious injury.

Judge Tompkins decides it's only worth 19 months which becomes home detention. Disgusting!

@PronouncedHare I would like to see them have a crack at your name!

Mine is definitely herbs "eeeeerbs"

I am keen to see Labour's policy on roads and transport. Both leaders of major parties should be asked this question in debates - can you agree to sign up to RONS and vice versa. Stop/start/stop/start and chop/change is getting us nowhere

Don’t be surprised if #8 is reoccupied on the Patriots roster very soon

I want to say something about @60Minutes since so many conservatives are trashing it.

When my Dad was first diagnosed with Glioblastoma and we were trying to decide who he and my mother should sit down with and talk about the end days of his life - we ultimately landed on Leslie Stahl and @60Minutes. Leslie came to our ranch in Sedona and sat down and profiled both my parents together for an exclusive sit down. We ultimately chose Leslie because of her prestige as a journalist and respected history of the show.

Leslie and her crew were simultaneously professional and respectful of the delicate emotional state my entire family was in. She was in our secluded home as we all grappled with the concept that my dad was dying and fast from a rare cancer in front of the entire world. She and her producers did a wonderful job. Feel free to watch it, it’s beautifully done. This is not a situation just any person without experience can airdrop and handle the dynamics of. This is not something a rookie commentator or podcaster could have maneuvered with the respect needed. Experience does matter.

Not all legacy media is garbage nor are all reporters. This “throw all the bastards out” mentality is obnoxious and just going to breed more insanity and distrust on both sides.

I don’t want woke journalism. I don’t want anitwoke journalism. I just want great journalism.

Be careful what you wish for conservatives, - there could come a day when Rachel Maddow is put in charge instead of Bari Weiss and then tell me how you feel. The pendulum swings both ways.

$32.50 one way!!?? $65 return presumably Hamilton to Auckland that's a Cripes @LewisHoldenNZ

[NZ Transit Buzz @NZTransitBuzz]

#TicketingNews: Waikato regional councillors have voted to increase Te Huia fares by 25%, meaning adult one-way fares from Frankton to the Strand would cost $32.50 with a Bee Card.

Councillors agreed that services would remain largely the same for the final year of the trial.

[Damian Sharkey @Sharks771]

This makes no sense https://t.co/d0mP1XEdx9
