When I think about Jacinda I am sad. Sad because she is effectively living in exile, virtually banished from the nation she led through a dark difficult period. Shite if she were PM now. Also: Te Aniwa Hurihanganui is good, IMO. One News will be looking to replace Maiki. Who better for the role than Te aniwa?

She's great! She was really impressive at Booktown. A new generation, is a lonely one. Give em hell out there, Te Aniwa!

Founder of Spinoff mocking something for resembling journalism. Okay, got it. 👌

Boom! The Spinoff is such a strange beast. Occasionally it IS the best journalism in NZ. Other times it's walking billboard. Other times its Buzzfeed ca. 2012. But I have to say Toby Manhire can run a panel. The Jacinda era one was a mighty juggle and he made it look easy up there.

Interesting post and comments. For an alternative view try Karl du Fresne's take - particularly Trevor Duck on Russian involvement in the 2022 protests 🤣
