Drs (and nurses, teachers too) only ever strike as an absolute last resort - and because they care about YOU and the service they can provide to you. Unsafe staffing impacts you. Exhausted Drs impacts you. Underpaid Drs means they LEAVE.

I stand with our Drs today, and always.

Part-time workers to get less sick leave as law changed The Workplace Relations Minister says sweeping changes to the Holidays Act make the system fairer.

RNZ apparently thinks legislation happens by press release www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Sick leave entitlements decreased by this govt is a huge attack on Māori, Pasifika, students & young folks, women/parents, disabled, elderly- all demographics most likely to be employed in part time jobs for many reasons, including family responsibilities, health, CoL vs the pension, shit job market

Part time workers get less sick leave because they and/or their kids only get part time colds, viruses and covid. This is a other attack on working women. #nzpol

Pae Ora Bill's proposed changes undermine the NZ Disability Strategy Efficiency shouldn’t come at the cost of outcomes. The Pae Ora Amendment Bill threatens accessibility, Māori partnerships, and the health of disabled New Zealanders. Here’s how.

I don't share the kid publicly for good reason so the fact that children of πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡©πŸ‡¨πŸ‡©πŸ‡­πŸ‡Ή need to be in photos & videos begging, starving, dying or smiling because the parents have been dehumanized to this extent just fucks me up.

Small amounts help. Big amounts help. Sharing so that it will reach enough people to meet the target helps.
Many of us are on the bones of our arses, but we can find a way to help these parents feed their starving babies.
Ignoring their pleas is not an option.

Chief Human Rights Commissioner: Muslim immigration a threat to Jewish communities Documents obtained by 1News show Dr Stephen Rainbow raised concerns about the threat to the Jewish community posed by an increase in Muslim immigration to New Zealand in a recent meeting.

"It's absolutely outrageous. I mean, he's echoing these views that we see on the far right in places like Europe and North America β€” this idea that Muslim people pose a threat either to the wider community or specifically to the Jewish community." - Philippa Yasbek

New Zealand's Chief Human Rights Commissioner Stephen Rainbow shows remarkable, albeit reprehensible consistency: championing bigotry from transphobia at Auckland Transport to Islamophobia in current role. The man tasked with protecting minorities seems oddly committed to marginalising them instead.

Make an urgent submission on the draft Relationship and Sexuality Education Framework today – before submissions close 9 May 2025 - InsideOUT | Changes are coming to Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE) in schools and we’re concerned about what has been proposed by the Government. We believe the draft RSE framework as it stands, is dee...

Oh hey Erica Stanford lied to us again, the "replacement" relationship and sexuality guidelines have removed all mention of gender diversity, don't include menstruation until year 7, and erase Māori / Pasifika perspectives, so get your submission typing fingers ready insideout.org.nz/make-an-urge...

Hipkins responding to anti-trans stuff by NZF as "not a priority" instead of full throated support for trans rights is a MAJOR red flag about the way both he, and more generally third way liberalism, operates

"Not a priority" almost implies it would be reasonable under different circumstances

Labour's objective is (and has been the entire MMP era) to paint themselves as the responsible party of governance and procedure, and this term their overriding focus is dismissing the government's agenda as unserious. But they keep failing to identify *the harm* being done. And you can do both!

Imagine being thrilled about a party of bigots trying to reduce anything about you to a singular definition.

All your effort to use a label to set yourselves apart, to other minorities further.
You forget you're boxing yourselves in.

Imagine hating yourselves that much.
So damn sad.
Such a waste.

A floral painting featuring overlapping bright stylized flowers lays on top of brown cardboard. The five-petal flowers are yellow, orange and red, with white outlines and red and black centres. The flowers are interspersed with green and blue veined leaves on a rich blue background. The red watermark text subtly in the bottom left corner reads at the green cheetah.

WW stop ruining Black art with your lousy white-centered takes at relating to the content.

Black & brown & indigenous masterpieces finally get a spotlight on them & they just gotta post like it was created for them, choking algos with their undercooked nonsense.

It might not have made it on your radar but some sketchy things are a foot with our current coalition government looking to overhaul health professional regulatory bodies, claiming the move "puts patients first" but looks to put profit first and remove cultural competence from professional standards
