Greenpeace Aotearoa<p>ICYMI: Last week, two orangutans occupied the roof of the main storage facility of Fonterra's primary supplier of palm kernel.

A-Dub<p>"In all of this, Costello never mentioned a single woman complaining about the communications or finding it hard to understand. In fact, her only reference to it was the documents she herself had received and taken issue with. Perhaps the easiest solution to this non-existent problem would be to create special communications just for Costello, so she doesn’t get further confused by the separate concepts of sex and gender." 😂</p><p><a href="https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/14-04-2025/a-deeply-frustrating-line-by-line-reading-of-casey-costellos-letter-to-health-nz" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thespinoff.co.nz/politics/14-0</span><span class="invisible">4-2025/a-deeply-frustrating-line-by-line-reading-of-casey-costellos-letter-to-health-nz</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiTransNonsense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiTransNonsense</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NZpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NZpol</span></a></p>

Jeremy Buffer Jones :tinoflag:<p>I can’t stop thinking about the moron we have as NZ’s Minister of Defence claiming that the world has changed and so should NZ. On that matter she’s not incorrect however, imo, she is taking NZ and its citizens on a voyage upon the ship of fools to buddy us up with the treacherous Trump regime at a time when it’s threatening NZ’s allies such as Canada, the EU and every country that abides with international law and norms.

Jane D.R. Fraser<p>Raising rates in Wellington is quite reasonable. Costs are rising generally, there are significant projects being undertaken.

Jane D.R. Fraser<p>I find it weird how the go-to for these anti-rates increase people is that the elderly might have to sell the “family home”. That sounds like one or two people living in a 3-4 bedroom property, likely sitting on a lot of unrealised capital gains. Downsizing’s the sensible thing for them to do, I don’t see why the city should underinvest in itself to avoid that. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/wellington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wellington</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NZPol</span></a></p>
