Maybe NZ's PM has taken a look at Australia's Voice result and is starting his own anti Voice movement.

I don't believe the ABC headline is accurate.

Race tensions in NZ have not been reignited. The flames between the races never went out from what the Kiwi cousins tell me.

Is it just me or has the world media completely glossed over the fact that New Zealand just lost 1/6 of its naval fleet? First post war sinking of a naval vessel...

How does a ship run aground in 2024? Unless it's a mechanical failure (which is a leadership failure) or incompetence of a crew?

What's interesting is this story only popped up in the media when they realised they could make a misogyny and gender related article for clickbait. The actual second of the vessel didn't seem to come up anywhere

I remember that a British captain run his ship aground somewhere in the South Pacific and was later sacked.

I saw it in media before the clickbait people got interested.
What I find funny is that it ran aground, caught fire, then sank. But if it ran aground how did it sink!
Bit of a disaster, haven't had the vessel long.

This is doing the rounds on X.

To be clear, I absolutely f****** love the haka. I wish we in Australia had something similar.

But, is it appropriate in the houses of Parliament? Thoughts? @moXJO ?
