The Myth of the Mass Graves

It’s a weird experience, encountering NPCs in the wild. These are the people who still watch the news on the telly — and believe it. I kid you not. The same people also actually believe politicians. “I think Dan/Jacinda is doing a great job,” they’ll say. Ever seen

Aussie Media Lifts the Lid on Ardern

By and large, the Australian legacy media are almost wholly ignorant of New Zealand politics. That ignorance makes them natural Jacinda Ardern fans. Literally all they know about the NZ PM is that she had a baby, hugs people and talks about “kindness” a lot. Even the most basic details
