As 2019 draws to a close, the gun confiscation programme the government undertook this year has come to an end. I wasn't expecting the confiscation programme to fail this badly, but it did.
Both Tasman nations released their mid-year fiscal outlooks, Australia is still gunning for a surplus, while New Zealand is accepting a deficit. Jacinda banned plastic fruit stickers and the gun buyback ends this week.
The city of Sydney is in a bushfire induced smoke haze, one of New Zealand’s active volcano has erupted to cause tragedy. Natural disasters are not political nor man-made climate-induced, but political issues are still in the public sphere.
