Chris Hipkins claims there is a hiring freeze in our hospitals. Fact check: false. There are more than 2,100 additional nurses employed at our hospitals since 2023, and more than 900 additional doctors. We are currently hiring thousands more frontline staff in our hospitals. #LeadersDebate

Exciting to have an immigration debate in the media between 'no migrants' and 'yes migrants, but only those from europe'
Michael Reddell@MHReddellOct 16
Column from me in response to Eric Crampton’s piece proposing bringing in 2.5m more young Europeans over the next 20 yrs. Even if it were to be politically sustainable it would prob worsen econ performance; fiscal pressures shld be dealt with directly thepost.co.nz/nz-news/361097…

We should tackle our ageing population by lifting the pension age – not importing more young...

OPINION: Serious countries address their own problems.

Old me would have said Eric Crampton should stand up to Oliver Hartwich's islamophobia, but I've seen Crampton's tweets about Gaza

If it was weaker than expected, then, by definition, that could not be 'unsurprisingly'
Global Box Office
@GlobalBoxOfficeOct 16
STREET FIGHTER unsurprisingly scored weaker-than-expected previews, bringing in just $4M. It’s less than half of RESIDENT EVIL’s pre-release shows ($8.8M). With an $80M+ budget, it needs $200M to break even, starting with a projected $60M+ global debut.

Luxon says he will work with ‘whoever I have to’ to ensure second term - his office says he doesn’t...

The National Party leader told supporters on the West Coast he would work with “whoever I have to” to ensure a second term.

What to do when the person at the professional organisation you're emailing seems to be using AI to prepare replies and you're going around in circles?

It's nice to have a second party I kind of like (even 50:50 on voting for) while simultaneously picking on for being pretty lame
