Just checked Google. Nothing from the so called Free Speech "Union" about the haka performed by Hurricanes Poua.
Why is that?

The hypocrisy of Tories knows no bounds.
Meanwhile, Nats are threatening those receiving welfare support with sanctions?
I thought Luxon said "the free ride is over"?
Is this what NZ voters really wanted for a change?!
Pathetic.

Better times, Bill?
My partner was in the room when TV1 News started disclosing the gruesome details.
She got up and walked out.

Hey, Mainstream Media! Do we really need to be told the gruesome details of how the Ellerslie couple were murdered??
Really?
Is it news or just morbid clickbaiting?

Parliamentarians - especially ministers - who vote ro reduce bright line test from 10 to 2 years for tax free capital gains, and reintroducing interest tax deductibility, while owning multiple properties, should face conflict of interest charges before the Privileges Committee.
As usual, the media is nowhere to be seen on this clear example of naked self interest.
