I guess that's fair to say, but doesn't mean he's right.

For example, the legislation would amend Section 44 “to remove the Public Service Commissioner’s duty to develop a workforce that reflects societal diversity”.

That seems like a good thing to have in the Public Service? I mean I'd love to see proof that any old unqualified person off the street are getting public service jobs because of their race or gender? Allowing for diversity isn't the same as hiring unqualified applicants, considering they are serving a diverse public.

There may be an argument to award him one posthumously if he can somehow take control of Air Force One while Musk, Vance and RFK Jr. are onboard and crash it directly into Putin.

Damn you're probably right, He's been taking back the classified documents seized from Mar-a-lago a couple years ago. Who knows what else they're taking as well.

So when do we start placing bets on when Trump starts sending weapons to Russia?

Membership of New Zealand’s domain registry suddenly triples in c/[email protected]

ICANN or IANA manages country code top level domains, I don't think it's owned by the government. InternetNZ is the trustee for the .nz domain.

From wikipedia:

IANA is responsible for determining an appropriate trustee for each ccTLD. Administration and control are then delegated to that trustee, which is responsible for the policies and operation of the domain. The current delegation can be determined from IANA's list of ccTLDs.[3] Individual ccTLDs may have varying requirements and fees for registering subdomains. There may be a local-presence requirement (for instance, citizenship or other connection to the ccTLD), as, for example, the American (us), Japanese (jp), Canadian (ca), French (fr) and German (de) domains, or registration may be open.
