  'Jones’ attack continued, where he appeared to question Xu-Nan’s New Zealandness. “We are historical foundation New Zealanders and he should know his place,” Jones said, before announcing a new policy. “We are going to campaign that all migrants must be citizens and have to be here in our country for a long time before they can become politicians.' Wow ... they're really digging in. Well, good news, Shane. You already have to be a citizen to become an MP. Achievement...

  Holy shit if someone said something like this at my work, they would be out the door so fast that... well I can't think of a strong enough analogy really. Don't wait around for the letter, we'll mail it to you. https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361013006/winston-peters-launches-tirade-against-chinese-kiwi-green-mp

  RIP the web. God, I hate LLMs. Ruining literally everything for literally everyone. When the bubble bursts, I know I will be disappointed by the number of techbros who end up in jail. https://www.theregister.com/columnists/2026/07/12/its-an-ai-web-and-were-just-rats-in-the-walls/5269760

  Presumably we can expect a new retrospective law to be introduced under urgency to fix this grave error. #nzpol https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/361000374/forestry-directors-face-bankruptcy-and-loss-homes-after-losing-appeal

  By my count this is the third law with retrospective effect from this government? 1- Pay Equity, extinguishes ongoing claims 2- ACC / Benefits clawback, including from past beneficiaries otherwise settled 3- This bar on climate lawsuits The corrosion of democracy accelerates. #nzpol https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/environment_climate/594922/government-changes-climate-law-to-prevent-lawsuits

  Or, and hear me out, you could make those other things subject to the BSA as well. #nzpol https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360975073/government-axe-broadcasting-standards-authority-media-shake

  Fucking MS Teams. First meeting of the day: it sounds like you're underwater. After meeting: turn off auto mike sensitivity and noise suppression, make test call. Perfect. Second meeting: OMFG WTF *host mutes me immediately* After meeting: make test call. Perfect. God I hate Teams, but apparently not as much as the people that *make* Teams.

  "In the face of repeated questions about whether such a wave of attacks would constitute a war crime, Trump said he was “not at all” concerned about that possibility. “You know what’s a war crime? Having a nuclear weapon,” he said." Well said, Trump. You know which country was the only one to use nuclear weapons in combat, against civilians? https://www.twz.com/news-features/on-the-eve-of-destruction-clock-ticks-down-on-trumps-iran-deadline

  Trump apparently unaware that Kharg Island is on the end of a pipeline from Iran, which they will turn off the instant US troops make a move. No Don, you can't "take the oil" you fucking idiot. https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/360944966/iran-war

  If he obliterates them as well as he obliterated Iran's nuclear program last year, I'd say the Iranian water supply is fine. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/591079/trump-threatens-to-obliterate-iran-s-kharg-island-desalination-plants

  Oh, even better. Not only is this week's announcement of loans for chargers an obvious re-re-re-reannouncement of election policy they simply didn't implement, they're using money the Labour government set aside to do it. What's better than getting 4x the mileage out of your election promise? Using someone else's money to pay for it! #nzpol https://newsroom.co.nz/2026/03/24/slow-chargers-underpin-govts-slow-track-investment-in-public-ev-chargers/
