NEWS: Farmer confidence is the highest it’s been in 8 years. When our farmers do well, New Zealand’s economy grows, helping to create jobs and lift incomes. We’ve helped farmers by cutting red tape and by allowing them to get on with what they’re the best in the world at…
A solid day for Liam Lawson at Spa in Belgium. He finished 10th in the sprint race and made Q3 in the qualifying earning P9 on the grid for the Belgian Grand Prix tomorrow. Here’s hoping for a clean race and more points. #F1 #liamlawson
SVG will start from grid 11 in the NASCAR race at Indy tomorrow. It’s the one of the least oval-like ovals on the NASCAR rotation so it will be interesting to see if he can carry some of his road course form into the 400 mile race.

His is a better, more fluid swing than mine, and I'm nine years his junior. I need to play more often!
🚨 JUST REVEALED: President Trump's golf swing is being shown off in Scotland and people are amazed at his form for somebody nearly 80 years old. Democrats have spent months trying to say he's not fit for office.
Erica Stanford solved the cellphone issue in New Zealand schools in a matter of one term. As for recess time, principals around the country are delighted to have noisy playgrounds with students interacting rather than heads down on their devices. Just ban cellphones.
No need to take smartphones from kids in schools. Just put signal jammers in every school so NOBODY can use their phones until they’re outside. Teachers and staff can go out to use theirs at Will. Kids can use at recess. Problem solved.
Two wickets in the final over gives the @BLACKCAPS a three run wino er South Africa in the tri-series final in Harare. An excellent start to Rob Walter’s tenure as coach, and a good lead-in to the test series against Zimbabwe. #blackcaps
I’ll played this game - Hey @grok who is the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn’t need to be a mutual, don’t tag them, just say who it was.
That's a "Hell yes!"

Israel brought international journalists into Gaza to view the large stockpiles of aid that the UN failed to distribute, while screaming about famine. Now they have been exposed, UN have resumed distribution, with 270+ truckloads of aid delivered yesterday and today.
Book title contest: How about Dazed and Confused. Or maybe Confessions of the Autopen. I’m sure you folk can do better…
Biden sold his memoir for $10m. Talk about ghost written! This ol guy can hardly tell you what his own name is….. What will the book be called?
So Nanogirl didn’t pay her taxes. Does the phrase “employer activity taxes” mean stuff like PAYE, KiwiSaver and student loan deductions? rnz.co.nz/news/national/…
BREAKING: Journalist show the thousands of pallets of aid sitting in Gaza, waiting for the UN to pick up and distribute. Can the UN explain why they refuse to distribute the aid?
Dear Chippie. When you know the election date at least six months before but can’t be arsed registering until the last minute, do you really deserve a vote? We have to stop pandering to the lowest common denominator.
Preventing people from enrolling to vote during advance voting is a draconian measure that could rob tens of thousands of Kiwis of their democratic right to vote, and there is no good reason for it. It’s anti-democratic.
How can the International Court of Justice be described as “the world’s highest court” when its rulings are non-binding?
As the sun sets, the temperature is going down very quickly. It’s going to be another chilly night 🥶

Hosking calls out Maiki Sherman’s attempt to get Mile Hurrell to accept responsibility for butter prices, suggesting it wasn’t a good look for TVNZ’s political editor, which it wasn’t. “I just wish we’d do better” he laments. I concur. It was embarrassing from Sherman.
