My thought for today:
Why is Country Calendar, the most enduring and loved New Zealand programme on Television? It’s been a staple since I was a teen. Its audience is diverse and loyal. Some of us are from farming backgrounds but many are not.
IMHO, it is relentlessly positive. It tells stories of real people who have an idea, try something new, overcome adversity and are good people who care. Sometimes they fail, but they pick themselves up. That is what is needed - More stories of resilience, of making a difference, of doing good in the World. Less of doom and gloom. More of hope and happiness.
@JohnJCampbell@SundayTVNZ RIP. God Speed, Father of our times to 1,000. He was so clear, the largest issue in the gap for the country we have and the country we want to create, is child poverty. And no-one is doing anything about that. We should create the Richie Paulson children’s Project.
If you know the @ralstonmethod you know she'll run herself ragged for a good cause. As she is for Cystic Fibrosis in memory of her Uncle! Please give here https://t.co/9PEBhWD4wf
Ayesha Verrall is such a disappointment as Minister of Health. Her answers to @DrShaneRetiMP today, show she’s focused on statistics rather than on the breakdown of the public health system of Emergency Departments after 6 years of tinkering, wokeism, & incompetent Ministers.
@Mihi_Forbes We are discussing this in the car right now. It’s frightening. Mother Nature has no on off switch. That was man made. Time to OFF as many things as we can IMMEDIATELY.
My 86 year old mother is still teaching. Her school holiday has been ruined as she has spent 5 days with no internet. Running out of data by being placed on hold each day, they loaded more data so she could continue being placed on hold. @onenzofficial REALLY?
Judging by the Harry Styles fandom in NZ as seen in the media coverage throughout the day, most Auckland secondary schools would have experienced proportionately higher female student truancy today 😂😂
@JudithCollinsMP And the world watches? WTF. If you see it and say say things you are part of the problem. Heartbreaking? Jesus. It’s beyond heartbreaking. Climate change gets air time, this humanitarian real-time event should get UN intervention. War crimes in peace time?
