I mean who would be better at interpreting the role of the document in the NZ 'Constitution' a Judge with legal education and experience with constitutional law, or a bunch of politicians (from NZ so the standard is super fucking low)

[Dr Hexagon @T0MM7]

Rightwing assholes feel entitled everywhere, good to see that there are people in the NZ/Aotearoa parliament who aren't going to let the Treaty of Waitangi be (totally) sidelined by ACT and National.

[VaiTribe 🇼🇸 @VaiTr1be]

I need this photo plastered everywhere across Aotearoa.

Look what happens when you try and rewrite history and diminish Maori.

After giving this question serious thought I really can only have one answer

[Mel Campbell @incrediblemelk]

I liked how Raygun’s Olympic performance humiliated Australia as much as possible in the arena that our whole national personality is based on, & which vast public resources are shovelled into at the expense of, say, education & the arts

@KishonnaGray Use the torch on your phone LOL

@Sierra_OffLine "Telegraphing" is used in some discussions of games in live stream, video, and written walkthroughs to describe actions that 'bosses' do when they initiate an attack sequence - seen this especially in the communities around 'soulsbourne' games
