Star Wars, Return of the Jedi, The Empire Strikes Back, and Rogue One – there are so many parallels with the current Rump administration, and so many audacious acts of a tyrant who could not give a shit about people on any planet than his own. Blowing up Luke’s home, blowing up Alderaan, demolishing the East Wing, these are all acts of a psychopath. But also…

My fledgling tender buds that started to like Chris Bishop and think that he may have a brain in his body have been trampled on.

It is absolutely fantastic that Minister Chris Penk (and others? Bish?) have listened to the people and proposed to do something about the terrible mess we have got ourselves in, in central Aotearoa.
