OPINION: Trump, an unforgiving man, has used the new tariffs as a way to get even with Pope Francis, who has publicly clashed with Trump on many issues. religionnews.com/2025/04/07/…

After a fantastic performance by @MutchJessica for the @1NewsNZ Leader's Debate, TVNZ go and spoil it with one of their usual one-sided panels. A former Labour Party leader (and the most left wing of them all to boot), @MaikiSherman, and Tau Henare?! Can TVNZ seriously not do do just one panel with balanced with a conservative. For a balanced panel, head over to our LIVE feed from the Backbencher at 9pm taxpayers.org.nz/debate_live…

It’s an amazing app but until people migrate over there from Twitter, Mastodon is not very useful, to me anyway as hardly anyone is on there I follow. I hope folks do see the light though….

It’s been an amazing time reflecting on my journey. I can’t wait to share my story, ‘Black & White’ coming to New Zealand bookstores on August 11th.

Dunne Speaks:  Transmission Gully Challenges Wellington's Future honpfd.blogspot.com/2022/03/…
“..scaling back virus surveillance at this time is short-sighted. It’s like stopping a course of antibiotics at the first sign of symptoms easing: it increases the risk that the infection will roar back... the next variant could well be more dangerous than those circulating now”

Pretty sweet burn that we let the Wiggles first team into New Zealand but only Australia's second eleven 🏏

With the virus clearly defeated in NZ, the marginal health risks avoided by remaining in Lvl 2 must be a thousand times less than the marginal benefit to the economy of moving to Lvl 1 immediately.

Ross Taylor (36 games) has been on the winning side most often for NZ in tests. Followed by Vettori (34), Fleming (33), Williamson (32), Boult, McCullum, Southee (all 30). Spare a thought for Bert Sutcliffe who averaged 40 in 42 tests but was never on the winning side #NZvIND
