That vs This – AI Use 

For:  If there’s one thing anyone could have seen coming from a mile away, it’s AI. It may be “new technology” to the general public, but it’s been in development since the 1950s, and a recurring character in science fiction for almost as long.   Our species is defined by innovation. It’s human nature to want to make our lives more convenient, to streamline the tedious process […]

OUR CHRISIS

Chrisis… I think I’ve mentioned the word in an article before, but to rip the bias tape off and walk through the door in broad daylight: I don’t think Labour really knows what they’re doing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯     I also don’t think National knows what they’re doing either… obviously. I mean, Luxon’s inability to answer without working through “Well what I’ll say… What I’m gonna say to you… Look well […]

Hamilton Gardens Entry Fee Increase 

Hamilton City Council is proposing increasing the price of entry into the enclosed Hamilton Gardens for non-residents.   If implemented, the price of entry would rise to $27.50 to anyone aged over 16 living outside of Hamilton. This is a 37.5% increase from the $20 paid entry fee introduced in September 2024. The enclosed Gardens would remain free for residents […]

Secret apartment in US mall went unnoticed for four years:  This is the type of shit that would have had me convinced I could do this in the base when I was like 5 years old. Maybe there’s no time like the present…  Eight children dead after Louisiana mass shooting:  No joke for this one. The prevalence of gun […]

We’re So Back: And All We Had To Do Was Build a Med School

For the second year in a row, the University has record-high Equivalent Full Time Student Numbers in Hamilton, Tauranga, and distance learning.  Tauranga campus has seen an incredible increase in student numbers this year, with its in-person cohort up […]

Opinion – Why do we keep giving David Seymour a microphone?

Why do we keep giving David Seymour a microphone?  If I had to come up with one word to describe this guy it would be ‘dogmatic.’ Most politicians are to some extent, but the way Seymour goes on about a ‘free market’ is frankly baffling. As far back as 2010 on Alberta Primetime, he argued against increasing public transport. He’s currently arguing for a smaller […]

Left vs Right – Move-on Orders

Right:  Some consider these rules extreme; in fact, one business association head argued this policy is “not the Kiwi way.” However, I strongly believe it’s about time this policy was introduced.  Personally, I’ve had one too many unsettling encounters in the Hamilton city centre. You often see groups of people—mostly rough sleepers—especially at night. At times they follow or […]

Breaks the News – 30/03/26

Not Newsmaker of the week: Chappell Roan:  Babes, I think your time as a popular artist has well and truly expired. The more you treat your fans like shit, the less likely they are to support you. Just calm the fuck down, and appreciate them for making you rich.  Max Verstappen wins at the Nurburgring, gets a post-race DSQ:  Genuinely […]
