Aotearoa 2020: "Be kind" Aotearoa 2026: "It's OK to jail a 14 year old for 3 months if it means cruise ship visitors won't have to see homeless ppl on Queen St"

I wish I believed in his Christian afterlife because this heartless evil motherfucker ain’t getting past St Peter at the pearly gates.

Voyager 1 is currently more than 24 billion kilometres from Earth and getting 17km farther every second and hilariously it is not as out of touch with New Zealand as our Prime Minister

I'm not have much luck catching rats at the farm. Mice and possums sure...rats not one. Ideas apart from the Selena Gomez oreos??

Well this was loud

So let me see if I have this right. There weren't enough police to support folk in mental health crisis at hospitals, so now they just drop them but the police are, according to Luxon, going to hook up homeless people with wrap around services as they tell them to piss off? *cough* Hbullshit! #NZPol

So just to talk to this. Homelessness is probably more a design feature of capitalism and Imperialism than a "broken system" but from my mindset firmly planted in te ao Māori this is an absolute broken system. This is not how our rangatira treated people.

Luxon saying about his 'move them on' policy for unhoused NZers that the important thing is that cruise boat tourists don't see the reality of AKL is, I mean, fkn wow.

Everything but the actual issues.

Please tell me, and everyone else, you don’t support the ‘move on’ orders. Poll near the bottom of the article. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

You know what to do people (not that it makes any difference to anything)

Some nourishing information: A friend who took her teens to the Rainbow Parade yesterday said she saw Chris Bishop looking miserable, and getting booed and heckled by the crowd for just, like, existing. Last night I also walked passed Nicola Willis as I left a hotel, and she also looked miserable.

I bought a Joan Armatrading cassette tape yesterday (Track Record) as I still have tape decks. This morning 'oh I can play that on the way to work'.....ummmm NOPE www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifAR...

A NZ politician years ago went onto the streets to find out why they were homeless and get some support for them. I volunteer Chris Luxon to do that. #nzpol

New media release published on Scoop Parliament: Te Pāti Māori Rejects Move-on Orders: “We Will Not Police Our Way Out Of Homelessness"

The reason why we can afford to put homeless people in prison but not housing is because if you house them the homeless person benefits but if you put them in prison we can funnel public funds to a private prison corporation. It’s always about funneling public funds to the wealthy. Always.

Authors you don't like to admit you've read/owned at least 3 books from: Wilbur Smith Nora Roberts Jk Rowling

and apparently Labour cannot confirm they will repeal the Move on legislation. Come the fuck on. Its not hard. Just say you will repeal it.

if the homeless are dispatched to prison they lose their right to vote, so it's on us on the outside to move these scumbag politicians on come election time in a few months

A MN protester accused of assaulting ICE officer had case dropped after vids showed no assault. LA protester accused of assaulting ICE w/ “hat” had case dropped; judge said govt acted in “bad faith” In Chicago, 92 ppl were arrested for assault/impeding ICE; 0 convicted DOJ keeps lying and losing:

Mark Mitchell felt police resources were overstretched & weren't able to lead a response on homelessness Despite this, National is now tasking police with moving the homelessness on & determining support, IF ANY Homelessness has doubled/tripled correlating to folks thrown out of emerg. housing

What’s the cost of emergency accomodation per night vs prison?

Decimate emergency and wrap around support and then fine (they have no money) and/or jail those impacted. Reason 101 as to why we aren’t enamoured of the self serving Govt and their vacuuous Leader #nzpol www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/governmen...

I knew it would be bad but this is draconian - note it is for anyone 14 years and over and it will be a $2k fine for people with no money so instead they will go to prison. It thus becomes move on to prison. This is not a solution to homelessness. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/governmen...

We can give these heartless cunts the move-on come November's election. Fucking cowards kicking our most vulnerable citizens. You utter yella bellied cowards.

Homeless people can pay a $2k fine? Prison provides housing and meals....at huge cost. This is madness
