  1. Great to hear Jessica Palairet on #climate change policy. I agree wholeheartedly, except that if we model #Aotearoa's transition to greenhouse gas neutrality by 2050, we cannot meet our target without the temporary expedient of extra forest establishment while we work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero. You don't have to take my word on the issue of our transition to GHG neutrality. Read the bipartisan Globe Report. #nzpol #radioNZ

  2. The hodge-podge of incongruent panic banners, front-page lead headlines and content sidebar boxes is a really baffling design choice by #RadioNZ.

  3. The trust comment here just weeks after the deputy PM told #RadioNZ that he'd get their funding cut off looks exactly like political retribution for unfavourable journalism.

  4. Listening to #RadioNZ in the mornings may not be the best decision for my blood pressure if I'm listening to them trying to interview our politicians.

    #Luxon this morning was utterly maddening. Extraordinarily evasive on the most basic, clear questions.

    All waffle; no substance. There's just nothing there to the man.

  5. shout out for my partner (who is not on the M'don) but has her new novel out today...

    It's set in Miramar and, in timely fashion, Welly weather features as noted in this nice #RadioNZ
    review.

  6. The Hon Prime Minister clearly cannot justify promoting heated tobacco products as a step towards reducing harm from tobacco consumption. It is amazing that he continues to do so in the face of evidence that it will not work. His wall of utter nonsense is not a valid argument. #nzpol #radionz

  7. The minister of finance claims investment in business will be lowered by a capital gains tax. This is nonsense. A CGT will divert investment in unproductive house price speculation towards businesses that actually create real goods and services. #nzpol #radionz

  8. Meanwhile, #RadioNZ National is interviewing someone about what to look for in tailored pants that politicians like Winston Peters are wearing and how David Seymour likes a yellow tie. 🤦🏻‍♂️

  9. What Mr Luxon is saying to you on National Radio is that, you know, New Zealand will live up to its international obligations but he has no idea what those are. 😂 #radionz #nzpol

  10. Both Saira and I staring in horror at the radio waiting to hear if the artist they're playing is dead #radionz

  11. @NatalieDavis Here's the Radio New Zealand story on the same alarming incident.

    "RNZ is investigating how online stories about the war in Ukraine, which were supplied by an international news agency, were edited to align with the Russian version of events. A staff member has been placed on leave while other stories are audited."

  12. CBC - Canada’s public broadcaster has quit #twitter.

    If more national broadcasters followed suit, it would surely expedite the unravelling of the bird under Musk’s ownership.

    Here’s looking at you #radionz @radionz @tvonenz #tvnz

  13. Paul Goldsmith on #RadioNZ this morning, pushing the same usual race-baiting weasel words designed to scare their supporters.
    Using words like "a radical view that honouring the treaty requires 50/50 co-governance". This isn't radical. There are legislative references to "equal partnership" and "equal representation". If you have a board of 10 people and there is only one choice representing Māori, that is not fair representation. There is legal precedent here.

  14. This is a fantastically clear interview with @timnitGebru on #RadioNZ giving an accessible overview what's wrong with the current #AI situation, and what can be done about it. Also great to hear about the cool stuff #DAIR is doing, inspiring stuff!

  15. These cyclones are horrible. We were in #Gisbourne for the last one. Might be worth a thought during the next few days of #CycloneGabrielle as to what official feeds we really need in the #ActivityPub #Mastodon world in #Aotearoa - I'm thinking #GeoNet, #MetService, #Niwa, #RadioNZ, personally I'd love to see Rivers each have their own alert level feed too ... and who else?

  16. Politicians remain wedded to #growth as the solution to all problems. But that growth has gone. "To all intents and purposes, we're already living in a kind of #postgrowth economy. But we haven't figured out how to make that work."

  17. Apropos of today's #KimHill #radioNewZealand interview on the shamaic origins of Santa Claus, here is the structure of a Sami lavvu ...

    When it's wrapped in reindeer hide and covered in snow, visitors can only enter the lavvu through the top, which is also the exit for smoke from the hearth fire. Not a chimney so much.

  18. Here's a great interview with one of my heroes Cory Doctorow @pluralistic speaking on #RadioNZ this afternoon. rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/ Cory talked about #ChokepointCapitalism, artists' rights, copyright and monopolies from the book he's written with Rebecca Giblin law.unimelb.edu.au/about/staff.

  19. In talks ahead of #G20, #Biden and #Xi stress need to avoid use of nuclear weapons in #Ukraine. My live update for Radio New Zealand's "Morning Report" with Corin Dann.
