Tim has cut back some trees, and now we can see Taranakl at its rare sunset appearances at this time of the year.

A very good demonstration against Winston's absurd Definition of Sex bill. As many as 2000 people there. Not only is sex not the government's to define, but their definition is absurd, making nothing clearer. Submissions close on July 2,

This is crazy. According to Gasby, petrol is $2.936 /L at NPD Porirua, and $3.259 at Z Mungavin Avenue.
That's a 32.3 c/L or 11% increase between two stations 2km apart.
Clearly the invisible cartel (of petrol stations raising and lowering their prices together by watching each other's signs) is a bit broken by the current crisis.

Here's my poster for the Hīkoi for Peace this afternoon:

This is crazy. Why TF is Aoteaora importing BUTTER?
I bought it was because it was cheap, but the checkout operator warned me that it is US made and not like our butter. To be sure it looks and acts more like lard and it's strongly flavoured, very salty.

All through my childhood, I couldn't understand the March Hare's remark, "It was the best butter." Wasn't all butter the same? Now I know. This butter certainly wouldn't suit the works of the Mad Hatter's watch.

When Seymour says calling people tāngata whenua and tāngata tiriti divides the country, he ignores the role of te Tiriti in uniting us. Without it, we are colonised and colonisers.

The problem is not that we can't do anything, because obviously there are lots of things we _could_ do. But that its impossible to do any of them in the current political/economic system.

We're facing the biggest crisis in our species' existence, while encumbered with the dumbest political elite in a very long time.

Virtually every statement beginning "The same people who [do/say/support X] also [do/say/support Y]" is made without evidence, usually false and always irrelevant as a case against X. Hitler loved dogs, should we therefore hate dogs?
