Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily. Today on The Spinoff: What does Mark Zuckerberg’s big Facebook pivot mean for the Christchurch Call? Are past careers important in politics? And a short history of permanent temporary buildings in New Zealand. But first: Gabi Lardies lifts the lid on a tramping mystery – what happens to all the poo?
