If you work a full-time job, you should earn enough to pay rent, utilities, buy food, clothes, enjoy the weekend and have enough left over to pop in savings. This is apparently controversial.

I said to my wife "Do you think anyone will commit suicide because they could not get an abortion?"
She instantly replied "yes."
Then she added "there will be all those boyfriends and husbands that murder them because they couldn't get one too" and that shook my fucking world.

@biggsintweets I was today years old when I learned that the Matariki stars were born out of the conflict between Tane Mahuta and his siblings about whether to separate Papatuanuku and Ranginui to create the world of light.

Christopher Luxon on @radionz unable to confirm if he would ensure health pay packets would keep up with inflation were he in charge. This is because they won't, they never do under National. Teachers went backwards during National's long nine years too.

The new public Airport Express bus service will launch on 1 July running every 10-20 minutes from the Railway Station to the Airport. Fully integrated with the Metlink network, these nine new electric buses will be Snapper and pay wave enabled and have Wi-Fi and USB chargers.

For those who think Three Waters is about anything other than ageing, broken infrastructure, and safe drinking water, please read the damn document and become informed.

When we destroy forests, overfish or burn coal, we are increasing gross domestic product.

It’s time to change an accounting system that counts the destruction of the planet as if it was the production of richness.

In the 20th century, New Zealand embarked on a series of transformational hydro projects that would remake the country.

Not everyone appreciated the foresight of these projects at the time, and their history is still bitterly contested.

Vogels is barely edible bread that makes delicious toast and that is how they should market it.
