Looking down at you from my ivory tower. I was once a political hack, but I'm normal now.

The "reporter" is former National MP, Claudette Hauiti. This seems like an important detail for the headline...?

I don't give a shit what drugs you take, for the record. Whatever you can do safely, fill your boots. Also: middle aged != boomer, I know. My wife and kids regularly remind me that I'm middle aged.

The Herald: tough on crime, up with the law and order Government. Also the Herald: it's all good for Boomers to take a Class B drug to save their failing marriages.

This was in the news a while ago here in NZ. (Your Norse Mythology audiobook is my dyslexic sons absolute favourite - he's listened to it so many times he can almost recite it word for word - thank you so much 😊)

I assume replacing the Interisland ferry will only become a priority when Luxon takes an A-list trade envoy on it...?

It's not like Winston Peters and Shane Jones to be silent when something significant happens to Northland. I'm expecting their calls for a nuclear power plant to be built in the Hokianga any moment now.

Defo not "near Kumeu" though. RNZ kept saying it was in Northland on Morning Report, which is also not true.

Oh I see. Not actually that close to Gibbs. Incidentally, Makarau should be between Tahekaroa and Kanohi where the Makarau River and Makarau Rd are, not up north where Google Maps centres it IMHO. Yellow cross is approx where the farm I grew up on is.
