Yes you stupid fools every nation needs to shame, obstruct and speak out. That's how giant bullies are dealt with.

Whangārei's fluoridation mandate must be implemented by March 28th. However the Whangārei District Council is refusing... something to do with having little to no understanding of the science involved mixed with a bunch of conspiracy theories.
Naturally NZFirst intends to support the cookers. Winston Peters is a fool.
This paywalled ODT story sums up the Casey Costello tobacco saga & related events, including a quote for the ages from Winston in parliament last week.
The ODT describes "...a not always coherent speech", which is typical of Peters these days. But how about this line?
"...our aim is to make harmful products more appealing to current cigarette smokers — that’s why the temporary trial".
Harmful... made more appealing... case closed.

StrypeyWhen I heard Winston Peters talking sense about the UN resolution demanding Israel withdraw from occupied Palestine, I thought I'd flipped into a parallel universe, where Winston First decides policy based on verifiable facts and consistent political principles;

The Japan TimesNew Zealand’s new center-right government, which took office late last year, is looking to deepen its ties with like-minded western nations such as Australia, the U.S. and U.K. amid concerns about Beijing’s growing ambitions in the Pacific. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/05/03/asia-pacific/politics/new-zealand-china-pacific/ #asiapacific #politics #newzealand #china #pacificocean #defense #aukus #winstonpeters
Nothing to see here, folks. Just our Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy PM defaming a former Australian MP. The allegation is serious enough that RNZ has withdrawn the offending comments from a Morning Report interview.

Has Winston been smoking meth?
The Minister for Cooker Affairs says Auckland Uni having designated areas for Māori and Pasifika students compares to the Ku Klux Klan. I guess they were threatening to hang white students... or something.
Meanwhile ACT is telling their supporters that *they* are the victims. Imagine other ethnic groups having safe areas within our public institutions. Whatever next? Equality?
Tsk!
Paul H Berlin, 1938. Crowds welcome Hitler with the Nazi salute on his return from Austria which Germany had just annexed. Note the SS soldiers in the crowd and the many swastikas visible.
This is actual Nazi Germany - as opposed to some fantasy notion of Winston Peters as to what constitues Nazi Germany.
