Another one who recently ‘misspoke’, I.e., lied. If Nats hope she’ll be their Ardern they’re very much mistaken. The crap she’s pulled over the curriculum, shows her up for what she is.
Hit the nail on the head! Tautoko.
And this, this is the reason why we have no chance if this coalition of muppets are in power, no matter who is their leader, "and all available actions are outside the tiny parametres of their ideology". Their ideology, no matter how they wrap it up, is the issue
Erica Stanford just joined him with the misspeaking
Begging @barbedmonds.bsky.social to revisit the taxation policy and the diluted, weak sauce, everything is exempt CGT that Labour have proposed
People want stronger action, the country (world) needs it. Be like Nike and JUST DO IT
It's not a "cost of living crisis", it's an inequity crisis

🍃🌹🌿meanwhile #NZ #Greens “Green Budget” is fully costed & fantastic. Free GPs, Dentists & childcare. Less tax for over 90% of NZers, a little more for the richest few, who mostly avoid paying now, & the wealth tax is v similar to Australia’s! #nzpol #PartyVoteGreen

Quick reminder that The Dawn Raids only targeted brown people at a time when our largest group of overstayers came from England.
Love your work for us
Flushed with success of prohibiting homeless people, the Luxon govt moved on to prohibit poor people. By Xmas we were the richest fuckers in the world

It certainly doesn't sound like the "suddenly new covid enquiry" setup to provide a report to the government a few weeks out from the election has a lot of space for nuanced analysis of the "while lessons can be learned we need to keep what was happening elsewhere in mind" variety.
Kia ora. Kei te pai ahau. Nō Tamaki Makaurau ahau. Me koe?
Kia ora. I am Maurie. One of the 1.2k.
NZ building a fossil gas import terminal in the #climatecrisis could be Luxon’s most STUPID idea yet.
Why not spend that BILLION dollars on household solar and battery installation?
Would be safer, more resilient, provide cheaper power and climate-friendly.

Labour cosying up to the Greens makes them look desperate - Heather du Plessis-Allan
I know this is about the press conference that Labour held, but also funny to read this with the firm belief that Labour being more progressive instead of centrist at best will be the only thing that wins them the election - and the hint of fear in the headline may indicate others believe that, too.
What a sad, sad wāhine she is. So many of us hanging out for a Labour Greens coalition. The cosying up between Labour and Greens much more preferable than the National Act coziness we're being subjected to now.
Waitangi 2026. A government of Atlas Network slogans confronts a complex nation unwilling to be neoliberal roadkill. Toitū te Tiriti Toitū te Taiao
So long since I heard the word 'nuddy'. Brought a smile to my dial.
Guys I enjoy hating on National's shitty economy as much as anyone but I just want to once again say that the racism, climate denial, stripping the country for parts, destroying education, screwing over women plus loads more should still be a massive problem even if the economy was great #nzpol
2020 is an anomaly precisely because the Labour government put public health ahead of everything for a hot second. People felt cared for and also like their lives mattered. We reverted back to our factory settings once that was taken away.
Definitely worth voting against it. 🗳️ #nzpol #OneTermGovernment
How is it that infrastructure can age to breaking point, www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/health-nz...
Can’t get all the way through the Springsteen song for Minneapolis because heart breaking. To quote Bob Marley - so much trouble in the world!
Please Aotearoa let’s vote for a better world. One where we are not complicit in global atrocities and genocide #NZPol #USPol #Kikorangi
But looked at their shoes and mumbled when asked for an example
When it comes to an agreement between a people and The Crown (represented by govt), it doesn’t particularly matter what the general public thinks
Te Tiriti o Waitangi is either honoured, or the government of the day are scoundrels, those are the options
