Why are mainstream media outlets (TV1News & TheSpinoff for a start) platforming Sean Plunket/The Platform? This lends apparent endorsement to an 'alternative' 'news' forum, that's at best, highly dubious, and surrenders to Winston Peter's cynical refusal to speak to credible journos

Fascinating analysis. Succinct, and easy to digest.

A must read from @dylanreeve.bsky.social via TheSpinoff - Meta must be complicit in the amount of scamvertising they host. thespinoff.co.nz/internet/21-...
A soul-destroying attempt to report scam Facebook ads
They're filling Facebook feeds, sucking people in and ripping them off. So why won't Meta do anything about it?

I love this prediction. It sounds about right……
So which of the media will be the hero we need and ask him if he is holding out for the life long handouts? Come on, you lot know the time line.

I predict 27 or 28 November that he will "graciously" step aside because that's the date he gets his lifelong PM entitlements that he's entitled to.

#BusNews: Last year, bike racks on buses were suddenly put out of action due to a newly discovered compliance issue. Was it a ‘knee-jerk reaction’ rooted in overregulation, and why did it take months to resolve?

Bike racks are back on buses – but why did it take so long?
And did they really have to be banned in the first place?
