While I love that #National's ideological bias has crashed headfirst into reality, let's not forget that even the targets they've hit are bullshit:
Less people in emergency housing ≠ people housed, meeting climate targets ≠ doing enough about '#ClimateChange', less people taking up elective surgery ≠ a well run #HealthSystemJobseeker #s climbing, almost 80,000 over target | #RNZ

Today on #RNZ the announcer mentioned that they had used #AI to get some details for their #MorningReport segment. And they admitted an error in reporting as the AI was wrong (shock and surprise).
My confidence in RNZ has just plunged.
Why is anyone trusting the enslopification regurgitations?

"I think Morning Report will definitely be in his sights, and I think he'll want to see better audience ratings from that program, because he'll be comparing it very much to Hosking, at NewstalkZB."
#MarkJennings, Co-Editor, Newsroom, 2026
This is a classic example of the Business Idiocy described in the article by Ed Zitron I've been quoting this morning.

"[ACC] now accepts Mr Buxton has a moderate-to-severe brain injury. But says it's still coded as "mild or other" in its internal system, due to 'coding limitations'. Mr Buxton says this impacts the care he receives, and he wants it fixed."
Fair enough too, this is literally "computer says no"! It's so many levels of unacceptable I just don't have the words.
Won't somebody rid us of these turbulent offshore-hosted proprietary systems?

Chris #Luxon is very good at not answering any questions. It’s not up to the #US and #Israel to determine if the strikes on #Iran are a breach of international law. It’s up to the international community, including NZ, to determine if their very thin justifications under Article 51 stack up.
The NZ Prime Minister should be able to take a stand, either one way or the other. Not being blown around in the wind of the breath of whichever interviewer is asking him questions at the time.

"... the teaching the use of AI is really different from teaching how AI works. They're quite different subjects really
... how AI works is a classic STEM subject and we certainly need in our country people who know how to do that ... the use of AI is a much broader one ... it's an interdisciplinary subject ... I'm not sure whether it fits in one course ..."#AlistairKnott, Professor of AI, Victoria University, 2025

@RNZonline @goetz Ist eigentlich bekannt was aus den Fitnessstudio Plänen im DHC geworden ist? Das sollte wenn ich mich recht erinnere im Frühjahr starten und am kommenden Sonntag ist Sommeranfang. Ich habe das z. B. mal hier in einen Artikel der RNZ raus gesucht.

RNZ: Stigmatisierung - Adipositas - Wie Vorurteile das Leben schwerer machen
Am Übergewicht ist man selbst schuld und dazu gibt es schlaue Tipps? Alltag für viele mit Adipositas. Eine Ärztin, die selbst betroffen war, erklärt, warum das so fatal ist. Und wie es besser geht...

"Mayors sign letter opposing changes to Māori wards"
Go NZ mayors!
"A Hawke's Bay mayor says the government's proposed changes to Māori wards are racist, because councils can create other wards without requiring a referendum."
This is a good example of how networked activity by local government politicians can serve as a decentralised upper house.

"But what is being lost [at DOC]... is science capacity, it's policy capacity, it's resource management space - that's losing heaps of people - and it's in line with the government's directive that we're going to prioritise short term economic goals over environment and sustainability. But in a time of biodiversity crisis I think this is seriously worrying."

#JonathanAyling gives a fairly nuanced perspective on the free speech implications of calls to censure Prof Joanna Kidman, for her comments about the NatACTs' dopey Boot Camps.
In a nutshell, he says that as an academic her employer should be tireless in its defence of her freedom of expression. But in her role as a ministerial advisor, a non-partisan approach to public comment is called for;

CW: Election interference
@benchaotica @AnneleiseHall
US based RW global organisation #TheAtlasNetwork whose NZ members include the #NZInitiative and the #TaxPayersUnion are behind the #Groundswell astroturf group. The other morning I texted #RNZ #MorningReport asking why they didn’t declare Stuff’s political editor Luke Malpass’ association with the Atlas Network. NZs very democracy is being dismantled by big $. #NZPol -
The easiest way to spot a racist is when they call Labour divisive for supporting te tiriti o Waitangi, the founding document of Aotearoa New Zealand. If I was a producer on #RNZ #MorningReport I would choose not to select messages to be read out that are so inflammatory. Imo, #RNZ are becoming very irresponsible. #NZPol #NZMedia

The #US #Rightwing are unhinged but it's super weird that #RNZ #MorningReport brushed over #HunterBiden's #TaxEvasion to talk about #JoeBiden's dog. (Unless they discussed it earlier???)

Andrew Geddis just gave a great explanation of Māori water interests and, importantly, the advantages of the co-governance model. #RNZ #MorningReport #NZPol

#NZTwits, while listening to #MiddayReport on #RNZ sans Māni Dunlop, she resigned after failing to get the #MorningReport co-presenter role which was given to yet another Pākehā host, made me consider how many permanent non Pākehā presenters on RNZ other than for culturally specific shows. I can’t think of a single one. Just wondering if anyone can name a single person who fits the description? #NZPol

Will #RNZ #MorningReport ever consider allowing Māori voices to discuss co-governance on air? The supposed objecting pākehā viewpoint is all we ever hear. #NZPol
