Free Speech, but Not for Thee
Let’s be clear. Auckland Council doesn’t own council venues. Ratepayers own them. Auckland Council can’t stop people using them without good reason. And having opposing ideological views isn’t one of them.

What Does This Change?
Consent has always been problematic and what is being proposed isn’t going to change that.
AI: Garbage In, Garbage Out
I wouldn’t quite call critics of AI luddites. I’d call them more ‘reluctant adopters’. And there is no more clearer example of this than software developers.
Are We Going To See More of This?
If, as an immigrant, you are required to know English, is knowing Hindi or Punjabi an advantage? And why?
Good Riddance
Heir Keir didn’t resign for Mother England. He resigned because he’s virtually been forced to. Either quit voluntarily or get the boot.
Just Stating the Obvious
All I can think of is that we’re still living in clown world. You couldn’t make this stuff up.
Yes, We Were Chumps
Us Gen Xers were chumps, which makes it even more satisfying to see Millennials and Gen Z refuse to fall for the same scam.
Buy Temu at Your Own Risk
I don’t believe Temu should be banned though. It’s up to the consumer to decide if they want to buy something cheap, nasty and potentially dangerous, or something more expensive but doesn’t break the second time you use it.

And You Think Luxon Is Bad
Starmer has said that he wants to stay prime minister for at least ten years in order to “finish the job”. It wouldn’t surprise me if, after the election when Labour get trounced, he will do everything he legally can to stay in power.
Think AT Couldn’t Get Any More Retarded?
So now they get it that no one wants to ride a train where the destination is in some mythical place called Aotearoa. It’s not like everyone apart from sickly white liberals has been complaining about it for years.
It All Depends on How It’s Done
Broader commercialisation doesn’t necessarily mean more harm.
Meet the Chuck Norris of the Bird Kingdom
They say that mother snakes used to tell their children not to bite Chuck Norris lest they die in agonising pain. But it’s also true that they tell their children to always look behind, or else the secretary bird will get them.
Using Psychedelics in Palliative Care
If drugs that ease physical pain are available there is no reason for drugs that relieve psychological pain not also being available. It is both morally and ethically irresponsible.
The Cartels Are Here
That the cartels are the reason for the price drop is almost certainly the case.
