He said that it has been known for days that the Whangarei case was with Harry Tam (Mongrel Mob) and was traveling up through BOP and up north for days.
He said she was at a marae and by the time the police got a search warrant to get her, she had gone.
He also accused Hipkins of lying yesterday at 6:30pm when he said he didn't know these details and said the PM knew about this too.
He wouldn't confirm what marae or what the woman was doing but Newshub were reporting yesterday she is a sex worker.
Go watch the interview.
We're wanting to wait until 12w/post-NIPT to tell our friends, and I'm 9w today. We just got back from a long weekend at a cabin where really there wasn't much to do beyond drinking and board games. I had prepared myself to tell them if I got "caught out" but to my surprise it ended up working out fine! Honestly wasn't even as much work as I had anticipated to hide it:
--any nausea was easily masked as a slight hangover, and I wasn't alone. Nobody questioned my midday naps lol
--my husband finished a couple beers/seltzers and I kept the cans in our room to rinse out and fill with water or Spindrift and sip on that
--mixed drinks with no alcohol (my favorite brand is WithCo)
--for the new years toast... Canada Dry ginger ale in a champagne flute! It honestly looked so dead-on similar that I had to be careful about putting my glass down so I'd remember which was mine 😆
As a friends group we're all doing Dry January so the next few weeks should be MUCH easier, hopefully smooth sailing until we can get to a place where we're comfortable sharing on our own terms.
We’re visiting her tee-totaling and judgmental AF aunt over the holidays, and I’m in the other room installing curtains when I overhear her ask my wife, “What hobbies besides gardening does he have?” Wife: “He likes to play guitar and… well, he really likes to play guitar…”
Next day, en route to the next destination. “I heard you and aunt discussing my hobbies. Did you almost say distillation?” Wife: “Almost.” Me: “Fair enough.”
Okay I know that traditionally, you wait until second trimester to announce your big news. Next Thursday, I'll be at 11 weeks. I'm a teacher (5th grade), and I have a super cute Christmas announcement idea that I wanted to do with my students. I just have my first prenatal today, heartbeat was strong and everything is healthy.
My doctor said she would wait until second tri if it was her, but I'm just so ready to tell my students! Just curious for anyone else's experience, if anyone announced it a tad early or waited to just he safe?
I [36M] posted on Saturday about how my wife [34F], who has been in denial about alcohol dependency for years, destroyed my home after I left with my kids in tow because she came home drunk and was being awful to my teenage son. She destroyed furniture, my son’s TV, and other things. She was removed from the house by the police as I got an OP. I am angry, sad, lonely, afraid. I have cried more in the past few days than I have since my best friend committed suicide a couple years ago. I’m not generally a crier. We’ve been married for 16 years.
I have told a lot of people. I’ve told our neighbors (people we’ve gotten together with in the past, stand at the bus stop with, etc.), I’ve told a former pastor, I’ve told coworkers. After years of absolute silence about this matter, I have had a case of diarrhea of the mouth. It’s been cathartic. It’s felt good to finally tell people what I’ve been dealing with, and instead of being met with anger (when I tried to talk to my wife, the only person I was allowed to talk to about it or there would be hell to pay), I’ve been met with care and sympathy.
So tonight I sent a text to her friend that she has been staying with, and she kind of went off on me. She said this is not about me, and especially if I believe she has a mental/substance issue, why am I kicking her when she’s down, telling the whole town about what’s going on with her, etc.
There’s a part of me that’s like…she’s right, I’m probably saying too much. There’s another part of me that’s like - I’m caring for both of our kids right now, I’m the one trying to figure out budgets for BOTH of us should we get divorced, and IM THE VICTIM. MY KIDS ARE THE VICTIM. Why should I go out of my way to protect her? I also asked if the genders were reversed I should be expected to shut up. If I were the perpetrator instead of the victim, as a man, I feel it would be acceptable for her to be telling everyone about the hell she’s been living through.
In all honesty, I was talking to my therapist today because I don’t know how to feel right now. I’m cycling through my feelings every half hour. Pain. Anger. Sadness. Loneliness. I’m just glad I have the kids and my house right now or I have no idea where I’d be mentally. I want to support her, but it’s so hard to cut through all of my other feelings.
Does anyone else have experience in this? You have to hide all of this for years, then suddenly it becomes (literally) a matter of public record, and yo

spilling the beans + letting the cat out of the bag
Amazing first half hour of the show so far, taking about the immaturity and cowardice of the team when they played here, specifically trashed Guastad, named other names too.
My abuser mom is a wannabe celebrity-author-politician.
She's becoming an important person of the council in a certain town. She's been on tv, radio, magazines, news papers.... And she's keeping up the appearence of being the " imperfect, loving mom". Blegh. She's talked about motherhood in her books, articles, interviews, speeches... Admitted how she's a bad mom, but never telling the details -> people tell her "You're an amazing mom!!" without knowing the truth.
And man, am I angry.
She abused me. Physical, mental, borderline sexual abuse when I was a kid-teen and financial abuse when I started getting my own money. I have DID because of it. I'm on disability because of it. I have a big student loan because of it and no degree (I had to drop out due to mental health).
And there she goes! Lying to everyone who's willing to listen. Building a career of a public figure, loved by all.
I'm thinking about spilling the beans and taking it all from her. I know it's a bad idea. But it's a juicy idea. I want to see her face when she finds out everyone knows.
I talked with the police and I can no longer sue her, sadly. It's been too many years. I was ready to do that.
I want to spill the beans, badly. I know it's a bad idea. I probably won't do it but I just wanted to write about it. Maybe this will help keep me from doing it.
you may call me a whistleblower but info needs to get out to the public...
this poll was posted on r/asexuality and then we started talking about invading countries and then I don't actually know how we decided on denmark, that's all the info I have
Idk, just the texture is bomb, I was wondering if any of you do that?
