Hi, The National-ACT-NZ First coalition agreement(s?) are signed and New Zealand has a government. These foundational documents may promise things the parties have no intention of providing, contain contradictory wording, not add up, but what's new. We went and saw Napoleon in the theatres. To some it's a drama, to others a comedy, and to horses a horror. And a ceasefire-of-sorts in Gaza in even parts celebrated and lamented. Technical note, there's a weird thing going on with the RSS update
