    Can you imagine the reaction if a left govt took as long to form as the current one-in-waiting?? The cry-wanking about it would be off the charts

    The best education systems in the world are state run. The very best, Finland, is state run and free from kindy to uni. It's as simple as that.

    The problem lies with a media company that has normalised and actively stoked disrespect of the prime minister at every opportunity. NZME's bile, especially that of Newstalk ZB, has become commonplace, and we get a shock to realise the world sees it differently.

    People should consider how they would’ve felt if a misjudgement they made at work when they were in their 20s was broadcast across the world, before getting abusive over this reporter’s question to the (capable, powerful and thick-skinned) PMs.

    In all my years interviewing people I've observed that most want to work, be considered good at what they do, put kai on the table, and reach for the stars. 'Bludgers' are few & have other issues. I don't walk around with a negative, sour view of most of humanity, I guess.

    I read the statement from the influencers extracted from Iran. Happy to be corrected but I saw no 'thank you nz govt for extracting us', which seems rude tbh

    Wow! The boss - Kim Hill - has won a gold medal at the New York Festival Radio Awards. A brilliant honour to add to all her others.

    I just don't understand why anyone, ever, would cut jobs at Oranga Tamariki?? Unless some private sector provider of child welfare services is being lined up

    Many of those defending the protests have long rows of numbers in their twitter 'names'. Social media experts say its important not to engage with these as it amplifies their messages. Block.

    So some women will not get diagnosed early and find out when it is too late---if they need to rely on those defunded cancer drugs--can they spend $6K per month to self fund? rnz.co.nz/national/progr…
