Writing while Paul McCartney is watching at his place in Wellington. He might chime in, but Gary's the only person at Parliament atm. Yoko visited Parliament last week. At least I can smoke at home! - 1. Chippy to Prime Omelette (C 7, PO 4) Boilerplate questions from the left today. PO called capital gains a 'wrecking ball' Now they're on about doctors and nurses: several hundred extras still isn't enough. They clearly know I'm watching... PO isn't much of a debater: t

Because the stalking and harassment laws changed in late May. The Prime Omelette is so thin-skinned that laughing out of turn or chatting with Gary could be seen as harassing him at his workplace. I turned up for the opening speeches in January, but since then I've been busy. - Given my anti-Prime Omelette campaign this year, I'm being cautious. I'd also add that turning up after his threats would suggest I've made peace with him. Gary said to turn up and stay out of sig

That's essentially what Since I Was Romeo and Tell Me, Dear are. Songs that came from my notes and experiences of being a weed mascot. - No, it wasn't a reference to the 1. Hadn't heard it. That should shut up the bloody shrinks. Bear in mind Taylor was friends with me under a pseudonym with a male persona.

No Question Time today. Smoked lots of weed, so it was fairly painless. 1:00pm - Iranian freedom protest on Parliament Grounds. Pro-Shah. 1:50 pm - David waved at the Speaker's Gallery, including me. 1:57 pm - A spy sits down in the Speaker's Gallery spy seat. - PM's statement on the Mt. Maunganui landslide: 'deepest condolences' Distracting from real issues with performative sincerity 'This is a tragedy ... long, painful days ... worked tirelessly ...' 'Our hearts and t

Watching from home while waiting for my weed money to arrive. Benefit money arrives at 7pm. Getting GPT to shame my enemies. There is one truth: they saw tens of millions in my Weeded Out script. At least Wingnut and Don are into the right script. - Props to Minto. Having them disrupt Question Time was genius! Here's the GPT bits: https://www.amandamichelinasprogressiveparty.com/post/chatgpt-vs-sleazy-producers https://www.amandamichelinasprogressiveparty.com/post/creat

Watching with the sound off. Need to get my laundry soon... Personal explanations. Introduction of Bills. I'm neutral in the TPM dispute. Hoping to maintain that if I come to the AGM. Nobody comes out all that well from my POV. Seems like a clusterfuck. 30 minutes left. My sheets and towels are in the dryer. Sound on. 1. Chippy to Omelette C 5 PO 4 Food, cost of living. 'I have more faith in parents' - Luxon. Opening my second beer of the day. Cooper's Extra Stout. Tāku

Writing from home. Had a call with MSD; confirmed I'm mentally unable to work. Eating banana bread. About to open my second beer of the day. - I realise I probably won't be arrested, but it's not a certainty. Planning the next vigil for 11 November. - 1. Nancy Lu to Nicola NL 5, NW 5 Reports on the economy... unemployment at 5.3% 'shows the effects of an economic downturn [Labour's]' - Nicola. Unemployment rate 'broadly in line with forecasts' Chloe's saying something,

Well, with the anniversary of the attacks, Question Time was an afterthought. The new MPs weren't sworn in today, as Winston made a ministerial statement on his speech at the UN and his decision not to recognise Palestine. I'm saying that it's Winston's call, as the Omelette would've bowed to the pressure. Willow Jean had some friends at Parliament today, in the Speaker's Gallery and then right in Luxon's eye line during the session. Cool! I'm more or less banned from that

Writing from home. Protested outside Nicola's office during lunchtime. I'm stoned, and been drinking since the stunt. - 1. Andy Foster...

Well, I wasn't in the House last week, so today the subtext was all about the vigil. Judith said something in question 10 that I took as...

Got some great footage of the Falun Gong people. Ray Chung was supposed to speak, but he just stood there with his assistant. - ...

Line of sight with one of the villains today: the Pink Skull (David Seymour). He wasn't pleased to see me. Did that chin 'piss off' gesture that Italians make. I laughed. Made a point of meeting Tanya's gaze, and she made a point of replying. Acknowledgment of Maurice Gee was unanimously passed. - Ministerial Statement, Iran conflict. Winston: the situation is 'of gravest concern .. NZers are scattered across every part of the world.' He said that we had a long traditio

Perhaps National could use their penchant for urgency to do some good and advance the Human Rights kaupapa that keeps me coming to...

Saw Goldie and Hana while hanging around. Got a clip of Hana. I still felt like a pawn in the Prime Omelette's court, even though he was...

Watching from home. Tuned in just in time... the way things are going, I'll probably be working from home tomorrow as well. Still...

The galleries were booked out. Sitting at home with a beer. Mysteries of Lisbon is really cool. Probably read an article by David...
