Some sad news for a Sunday. Another woman has been arrested for stabbing her children and claiming post partum depression:

Since Lindsay Clancy was almost acquitted by a jury for the same offence there has been a steady trickle of these stories. Mothers attempting to kill their own children.

Here’s an unpleasant reality. If Lindsay Clancy had been convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment that would have sent a message and I would suggest none of these subsequent events would have happened.

Winston Peters has announced that he’ll increase the minimum wage by inflation annually and also increase Working for Families.

About $600 million a year. No mention of where it’s coming from.

The centre left just grew by one party. Some might dispute “centre “.

A vote for Peters is a vote for Labour.

Someone is very upset about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize:
“The United States of America, represented by me as your president, should have received the Nobel peace prize, but didn’t. And this is an indelible stain on the country of Norway, and those people that made such a disgraceful and embarrassing decision,”
“The Nobel peace prize has been forever discredited by a handful of radical ideologues who are anti-democracy and really enemies of civilization,”
“We will not forget, Norway, that you didn’t give this prize.”
“Additionally, I stopped Iran from having a nuclear weapon and blowing up the entire Middle East and ultimately far beyond the Middle East, including Europe, perhaps the US and I saved more lives than anyone in history,”
“Despite all of this and all of these unbelievable accomplishments, the Nobel prize was given out today to a liberal person who works at the United Nations, who nobody has ever heard of,”

Quake and tsunami monitoring centre closed for hours due to staff shortages

The Minister was warned …

Quake, tsunami monitoring at risk from job cuts

But why is it that when cuts are made, staff seem to be removed from areas which will cause maximum embarrassment or consequences to Ministers involved?
