As with almost everything ACT does the attack on Te Tiriti is about destroying the fabric of our society to enrich their donors Under Seymour, ACT is evil thespinoff.co.nz/politics/30-...

The real reason behind Act’s push to redefine the Treaty principles
The real reason behind Act’s push to redefine the Treaty principles

It's a calculated move to remove a significant barrier to the party's privatisation and deregulation agenda.

It's one of the things about electric motors that folks just forget about Power output is just as efficient over a huge rpm range We forget how useless ICE engines are outside their optimal rpms - which necessitates gearing

Anyway, my book is about how this belief — that we can keep using fossil fuels and still deal with climate change anyway — is both a form of fossil-fuel propaganda and the centrist consensus on both the right and the left. pages.oup.com/trade/cus/86...

Worthwhile keeping a weather eye on this It may (probably) won't develop into anything at this point but it does indicate what we have always known - that H5N1 has the potential to jump to humans I really do not want our current NZ government in charge if it does expand

What might below say about transmission potential? If (still a big if) this is a transmission cluster, then we now have 14 reported spillover cases (i.e. single human cases unrelated to others) and one possible cluster of 9 (i.e. unknown source case + patient + 7 suspected onwards cases)....
