Bit galling to see Collins and Luxon getting all the cool media footage from the new Hercules delivery, when it was Labour that approved and funded it.
Well, you’ll have to give credit to National for not cancelling the order.
Actually Ron Mark and NZF organized the purchase of the new Hercules FYI.
For the complete history of Herc funding, see Stuff here.
Everything you ever wanted to knnow.
Why is NZ Cricket playing against Afghanistan?
This year the ruling Taliban has doubled down: women must not speak or laugh if they can be heard outside the home, women are disappearing, women are being whipped and women are being stoned to death for alleged adultery.
Australia repeatedly refuses to play Afghanistan in cricket because of the Taliban’s treatment of women and girls but Afghanistan’s good status among certain players remains.
It’s still part of the International Cricket Council (ICC) despite ICC’s own rules that each member must support a national women’s cricket team (women haven’t been able to play sports in Afghanistan since September 2021).
And here we are – playing in India against Afghanistan.
