Everybody should do this, not just because citizen science is cool, but because despite whatever crap is going on in your life there's a good chance that sitting in your garden for an hour will make you feel just a tiny bit better.

The NZ Govt wants to abolish Te Mana o Te Wai, a world-leading principle under which councils must prioritise the health of freshwater ecosystems and people before commercial use when allocating water.

Also, I noticed that during the election campaign, lefties often posted on social media about how awful the right are etc. They say bad publicity is better than no publicity. Perhaps next time we get a chance, we should drown them out with how awesome the left is instead of promoting the right

It says a lot about Luxon that he declined to serve people at the Waitangi Day barbeque, but he's happy to serve McDonalds when it gives him a photo opportunity on the campaign trail.

For reference, here's a picture of a true servant of the people.

Beginning to think Luxon just wanted to be PM end of story. No intent beyond that. No leadership, no vision, no actual ideas beyond the usual less government / more roads spiel. The minor coalition parties are walking all over him with impunity. He is making Simon Bridges look like a rockstar.
