Must be Android 9 or higher.
Not fussy so long as it is a smartphone and not Huawai.

My current phone (Thanks Kenj!!) Is fine, great. But certain apps I use announce they will not continue on my Android 8 and the phone cannot be updated to 9.

Both have some Irish blood.

"New Zealand First leader and Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters is promising to bring ÔÇ£steelÔÇØ to the Government as it faces tough economic times.
Hundreds of people have gathered to hear New Zealand First leader Winston PetersÔÇÖ State of the Nation address today at the Palmerston North conference centre.
There was a small protest outside the conference centre where Peters gave his speech.
There were about 20 Free Palestine protestors gathered. One used a megaphone to push their message as Peters entered the premises.
He didnÔÇÖt say anything to the protestors, except to look at them and shake his head.
During his address, Peters referenced the protesters as the ÔÇ£group outside saying ÔÇÿWinston go homeÔÇÖÔÇØ. On the Israel-Hamas conflict, he said the Government had ÔÇ£done our bestÔÇØ.

Peters said NZ FirstÔÇÖs absence from Parliament during the 2020-2023 term was the chief reason why the country had gone downhill."

Oh, of course it was Winnie!


"Without the handbrake, Labour cared more about feelings than the duty to competently govern our country.ÔÇØ

Peters railed against the media, once again claiming he wasnÔÇÖt covered during the election campaign.
He said the country couldnÔÇÖt be fixed until its problems were acknowledged. He claimed Labour had left a ÔÇ£barrage of broken promisesÔÇØ, citing a ÔÇ£crumbling, underfunded health systemÔÇØ.

On education, Peters spoke of the ÔÇ£staggeringÔÇØ number of classrooms New Zealand was lacking and the levels of truancy.

Peters talked of the ÔÇ£implosion on the leftÔÇØ, a reference to the Green Party launching an investigation into MP Darleen Tana, whose husbandÔÇÖs business has been accused of migrant exploitation.
He referenced Tana not by name but as the person who ÔÇ£had the moko on her chinÔÇØ.
Peters criticised the recent high levels of immigration, saying there had been no proper planning by the previous Government for the number of migrants it wanted to bring in after Covid-19.


Peters said there was no greater expert on LabourÔÇÖs lack of humility or understanding of democracy than he.

Such modesty Winnie...

He grouped Labour, the Greens and Te P─üti M─üori together, saying they were competing to see ÔÇ£who can be most culturally wokeÔÇØ. Peters said that when MPs from those parties were in the media, they were ÔÇ£always over-gesturing like an Italian waiterÔÇØ, which received a lot of laughs from the crowd."

A student involved in the Haka spat at the ground near David Seymour's feet.

"A student spat on the ground in front of ACT leader David Seymour during a school visit in Palmerston North.
Seymour was visiting Freyberg High School on Thursday in his role as associate education minister.
A video shared online showed students performing the haka Ka Mate as he came outside.

At the conclusion of the haka, a student holding a tino rangatiratanga flag approached Seymour and spat at the ground by his feet.

School staff could be seen creating a human barrier between the students and Seymour.
Students then followed him to his Crown car.
Seymour had gone to Freyberg to meet with school leaders about "the impressive work they're doing around attendance", he said."

"Stuff┬áreported that SeymourÔÇÖs Crown car was also kicked as it drove out of the schoolÔÇÖs gate.
Seymour told Stuff the spit did not hit him.
He said the student spat at the ground in front of him and called the incident a bit ÔÇ£theatricalÔÇØ.


The protest came just over a week after Seymour┬ádescribed free school lunches as ÔÇ£wastefulÔÇØ public spending and argued that the new Government should cut them.
Freyberg High School receives free school lunches as part of the Ka Ora, Ka Ako, programme.
Seymour attacked free school lunches during the election campaign, describing them as ÔÇ£wastefulÔÇØ, ÔÇ£unaffordableÔÇØ, and a ÔÇ£marketing stuntÔÇØ. He urged┬áNational to abandon the programme┬áif it got back into power.
As the minister responsible for the policy, Seymour told the┬áHerald: ÔÇ£I take the issue of free school lunches extremely seriously, and it is under consideration as part of the Government putting together a Budget."

Hot on the heels of Gharaman's pleading guilty to shoplifting here we have another Green MP behaving badly.

I wonder if the same poster will be along to defend this case as some kind of a sting or a way to expose corruption or greed?

Nail on head...
