RIP my darling papa 😥 on 1 May. The last of his generation on both sides of his family. I can’t find the words but Shakespeare said it best - Horatio “I saw him once, he was a goodly King” - Hamlet “He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again 💔
C’mon @WestpacNZ this is ridiculous. Amazon’s a well known international online commercial site. 3 x you have blocked my transaction for fraud. I even rang & was assured the block would be removed. I waited as instructed & tried again but again declined. No notification from you
Something @dbseymour to look at is the out of control Body Corporates Unit Titles Regs 2011 & Covenant Regs - Impinging home owner’s private property rights, levying fees, & fines! Clipboard warriors creating regs about curtains, blinds, washing, rubbish bins, pets, paint & more
Lordy!! Imagine if we had such a sweeping Henry VIII power invested in the PM during Covid days 🙄 This is BC establishing power to act in crisis of tariff war but talk about concentration of power without scrutiny even if sunset clause for 2027.
The US minerals deal for Ukraine & the bullying tactics to force @ZelenskyyUa to sign are a direct violation of Article 3 of the Budapest Treaty treaties.un.org/doc/Publicat…. Again the US fails to defend & protect @Ukraine as it committed to do. Ukraine do not sign it #SlavaUkraïni
Enjoyed that from Ngāti Whakaue … I think I found their harmonies less shrill and more attuned to traditional Māori rangi. Overall also a more simple and traditional presentation @tauhenare i didn’t get La Traviata but probably my favourite so far 🥰
When all the world’s leaders rally around President Zelenskyy & the only support POTUS can muster are Putin, Kim & Xi then you know you’re on the right team. Team @Ukraine 🇺🇦 … disgraceful abuse & intimidation but such courage from @zelenskyyUA to speak truth to power 💪
America has fallen. The centre of democracy & the free world now rests precariously in Europe
If there was ever a time for the British Commonwealth to be relevant, it is now. Both politically & militarily to support @Ukraine & @zelenskyyUa achieve a sovereign, democratic peace.
Now the 1:10pm service is 10 minutes late according to the board. I’ve had to take a taxi at 10x the cost. I left work at 12.20pm to get home in time for a 2pm medical apmt. It’s unacceptable to wait an hour for a service. It’s frequent. Kowhai Park is poorly served. @nashthomas
@onenzofficial @JasonCParis I sent my 84yo neighbour to Cuba St site for help. He’s permanently secure locked his iPhone. He just needs help to reset the phone. He knows he can’t save it. He was turned away as “we don’t fix phones” & told to go home & try support.apple.com
Parliament website not even loading now … potentially too many people making last minute submissions but also could be a deliberate DDOS attack to lock people out from making submissions … Maybe too many bills, with too short consultation periods, all ending at the same time 🙄
Alicia McKay nails it here and Wellington particularly WCC is a case study in point. If one believed “Visionless Wellington” and MSM then Wellington would be some dead moonscape but in reality it’s thriving linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…
@drayeshaverrall the reality for provincial patients is very poor. My 86yo father lives in Whanganui. He is a dialysis patient & must travel 3x a week to Palmerston North for treatment. He gets a letter for an appointment with the renal Dr on one of the days he does not travel 1/
