Hmmm @SimeonBrownMP - why is your ministry moving to a social platform with less reach? Bluesky is pretty much just public servants in Wellington who arguably need the info least. This wouldn't be politically motivated by MoH, would it?

Make it make sense @SimeonBrownMP there is no way MoH will get 48K followers on bluesky. Who authorized this decision & also please investigate how many accounts they blocked on X. Thanks.

I’m curious if you are doing this on purpose, before the Covid royal commission, so your can hide from being held to account?🧐

The Centrist set up by Jim Grenon has identified the hush hush partnership with the govt and Spark subsidiary Mattr.

These are the same nitwits that claim “there is no plan for a global ID” then does a soft launch for ‘tourists’ from juris -dictions with Digital ID - you know so it’s fully interoperable with international systems - probably because it’s built all on the same infrastructure.

They think we are all stupid. More info on the highly connected astroturf b416 to come.

Great work.

Retail NZ wants ‘urgent meeting’ with police minister over police shoplifting change

The Government's retail crime group chair is seeking "urgent clarification" from the police minister and police commissioner after RNZ revealed a police directive to staff said they would no longer be investigating allegations of shoplifting below $500 regardless of lines of inquiry as part of a new nationwide directive.

WTAF!!!! https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360702671/retail-nz-wants-urgent-meeting-police-minister-over-police-shoplifting-change

Did anyone else hear the "Superintendent for Service" of the utterly corrupt @nzpolice interviewed by HDP on ZB radio just now?

Essentially what he said was "Police will never investigate property crimes predominantly committed by brown people. This is why that's a good thing."

How “by any means necessary” metastasises:
- murdering “settlers” (in the “West Bank”) is justifiable

Aotearoa Lib are nuts!

Check the replies to this post by @NewZealandMFA and tell me we don't have a serious issue in NZ.

I’m not sure I even believe this story yet, if true then yeah, I agree with Ani: Times are so tough for independent bookstores & damaging books is such a shit move. Also wtf is wrong with this guy? Don't read memoirs you don't want to read? So petty and hateful.
