Opinion: The extraordinarily complex job of a librarian almost always requires a master’s degree. There isn’t a single male-dominated profession with comparable skills that requires the same, so why are librarians being repeatedly denigrated? newsroom.co.nz/2025/05/14/im-…

Pretty sad there is no NX1 to Silverdale after the fireworks in the CBD tonight. I would think having one of the buses after midnight go all the way up is not too much of an ask, @AklTransport


This route is not in any way shape or form a shared path. No wonder no one rides their bike to the bus station. @AklTransport a little effort here can go a long way.

This is a great question. If we want to improve NZ standard of living we need to move off of land based investments.

Blows my mind how many bootlickers are in my comments prepared to ignore the massive inconsistencies of the National party because of their own confirmation bias.

No surprises here: National Party confirms plans to cut social security benefits: indexing to cost of living rather than wages would see someone on jobseeker allowance $40 a week worse off by 2027; pays for tax cuts for others; deepens poverty & inequality nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/el…

👇😳 🇦🇶 📉🧊➡️🌊 It really looks like the Antartic sea ice melting season has started with a million km² of sea ice below the previous record low! If this low is maintained for the next 5 months, there is about 400 W/m² of solar radiation available to heat the oceans instead…

So if my math is correct, we need to sell a quarter (of the >$2 mil) of our real estate sold to overseas buyers to meet their targets. Let us just continue to sell off NZ, talk about being short sighted.

A record $17.2b worth of homes valued over $2m sold in NZ in 2021. In 2018, before the foreign buyers ban, 2.5% of house buyers were from a country other than NZ, Aus or Singapore. This would equate to $64m in tax. So not quite the $740m a year National are predicting...

3. Emissions should be plummeting now to avoid billions dead at 2/2.5°C. They should have peaked by now to avoid 2.5/3°C. This is extinction for many or most species given non-climate destruction. And this horrific predicament is described as progress. 🧵

To be clear, a wealth tax will pay for: ✅ Income Guarantee of $385 for everyone (plus family top ups) ✅ First 10k of income tax-free ✅ $385 p/w for students ✅ Free dental for ALL ✅ Warm homes If you're in the majority of NZers that want a fairer tax system, vote for it.
