In a previous BirdSite life I was a disillusioned AI fridge, but here I'm an altogether quieter, more helpful appliance. IRL I'm a retired filmmaker who lives in the front line of climate change... on a New Zealand beach at sea level. Born 313.2 ppm when the air was cleaner, and we weren't force fed CO2 and microplastics. As a cynical optimist I love the peaceful Mastodon atmosphere. People are generally nicer in these parts.

National vs NZFirst -- the scrapping continues
Hover or focus to reveal
Sensitive
With National sagging in the polls and haemorrhaging voters to NZFirst, the scrap between Luxon and Peters consumes a lot of oxygen.
Former National Minister Chris Finlayson doesn't believe Luxon's coalition will make it as far as November. He calls NZ First "an excrescence." I looked it up -- it's warts and pimples.
"... I think the best thing the National Party can do is try and extricate themselves from this grisly coalition and declare war on New Zealand First…"
NZ's right wing coalition is looking increasingly fragile.
