Wellington ick: people who toot in the tunnel

Men often struggle with this because their identity may be rooted in just being a "normal dude," so they see any outfit that deviates from some middle-class uniform as "cosplay."

But do you think a frog actually herds cattle?

[Kirsty Johnston @kirsty_johnston]

Unsure if everyone knows this but, more and more, the stories reporters write and news sites promote are determined by analytics - what has done well before (house prices!), what gets people to subscribe (private school rankings) and not by traditional news values /1

"I think it's easy for people who maybe don't always need that reassurance to just see it as a painted piece of road. But it does hold more significance than that." https://t.co/JbsikIoAJC

Even if you think that actual people who own property in different areas should get to vote in both council elections, this also allows companies to appoint people to vote on their behalf. It was worthy of select committee consideration.

[Daisy Hudson @daisy_hudson]

NZ media, in general, is very non-partisan compared to other countries, and yet that is one of the biggest criticisms lobbed at journalists. The irony is, losing highly skilled journalists means the media ecosystem is likely to become more partisan and fringe.

@ponekeben Oh it would be the Aro Valley one as the Hutt is a different council?

[Daniel Walker @walkerdse]

@ponekeben The Aro Valley one or the Lower Hutt one?

@OlleySamantha What an investigation, amazing work Sam

[Sam Olley @OlleySamantha]

First investigative piece in a long while… Former policeman Chris Yates has built popular social media accounts mocking politicians, police administration, gay people and youth offenders - and his growing following appears rife with NZ Police members. https://t.co/PF9xAKixsJ
