Our woke media are painting him as a poor victim and attacking Winston Peters.
Here is one of his social media posts which is believed to be with his son, now been taken down, and here we have Chloe essentially defending his content on social media and the use of the word "Bussy"

I feel sorry for the kid, he clearly has been taken advantage of, was this child even aware that his father has posted this on social media for the public to see? Perhaps he has been bought up to accept this sort of shit is normal?

Winston has genuine concerns about the content he had posted on instagram, any sane person should have the same concerns.
The green party are trash and need clearing out, this sort of crap is not what we need in parliament.

This same party as a result of their DEI policy has employed shoplifters to their ranks, promotes defunding of the police, criticizes the use of police beat patrols and this guy thinks that puberty blockers should be prescribed to children, he is deluded and Winston has done the right thing by banning them, putting the dangers aside, morally its wrong.

The greens are a danger to society and the children we are trying to protect.
Where is our old green party that only cared about climate change, legalizing weed and banning genetic engineering? They were always a left leaning party, but nowdays they are highly radicalized, I hate to think what Jeanette Fitzsimons would feel should she still be alive.
James Shaw was pretty much the only decent green MP that remained, I dont blame him for leaving, I bet he had good reasons for doing so.

If the greens actually went back to being a bunch of hippies I might take them more seriously!

Perhaps if they actually vetted their candidates properly, instead of using DEI to select them, then this situation could have been avoided, they dont select qualified people for the job, only people who they feel fit their political agenda.

Here is the press conference from yesterday, Winston handled it very well, something tells me we wont be hearing the end of this.
And by the way, Winston was not the one who even was the first to bring this matter to the public's attention, but the media are all over him like its his fault.

My computer's system time is slower by about a minute every 2-3 days.
Does it mean that I need to replace CMOS battery?   This PC is about 10 years old and I never changed the battery. 

The PC is set to auto sync the time, so it doesn't cause much problem.

Still advisable to replace the battery, or just leave it as it is?

Watch till the end.

New school lunches fail nutritution standards &  give kids only half the energy they require.
"Given that 27% of children now live in homes where food runs out often or sometimes, the low energy content of meaks is especially worrying"

Heaven forfend kids might learn empathy & compassion..

A comittee led by Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to defund NPR, PBS - apparently they're 'radical, left wing echo chambers for wealthy white urban liberals & are 'brainwashing & transing children'...

Insanity seems widespread in the American govt.

Some adore holding forth about 'bludging beneficiaries', but apparently those people haven't the least idea what the hell they're talking about...who knew.

Shamubeel Eaqub says data shows that inequality has worsened since the 1980s economic 'reforms'...no doubt Roger Douglas & his greedy mates are well pleased.

"Social cohesion can best be understood as the glue which holds our society together; the opposite is polarisation. Without social cohesion, societies become increasingly unstable, from politics to business, to civil society to day to day life in our communities."

This video is hilarious, i love it how they keep asking the caller to read the numbers out slowly, must have terrible english, because I can get them quite easily despite them being read fast.

They seem determined to pretend that trying to achieve equity for everyone is really racism & they won't stand for that. 

Somewhere in their hearts (assuming they have such a thing)  they must know that what they want is, if not racism then far closer to it than what's been achieved so far. Which would tend to make many ACT MP's  hypocrites.


They're going to stop 'services based on race' - & using an Indian member, Dr Parmeet Parmar to do so.
