'It will be very disruptive': Grant Robertson on scrapping of fees-free policy

It's good to see the Greens reject this policy change and say they'd reinstate a fees free year. #nzpol

We must stand in solidarity with Jews being attacked by antisemitic criminals and terrorists: no ifs or buts. We must stand in solidarity with Palestinians being murdered by the Israeli government: no ifs or buts. These are not contradictory positions. They are consistent ones. 🧵1/5

“He said people like nurses and doctors were raising concerns with him about the delays and costs of getting translation services in hospitals.” This has been a problem for decades and it’s an indicator of a *funding problem. It’s not properly funded. #nzpol

Happy May Day. They can’t kill us all.
