Health privatisation isn't like flicking a switch. It's a deliberate process that erodes public and expands private. The Healthy Futures (Pae Ora) Amendment Bill is another step toward a two-tier system. SUBMIT NOW on the Parliament website. #nzpol

I made this post the other day because I can’t believe how little attention the Pae Ora Amendment Bill is getting. SUBMIT NOW. HEALTH PRIVATISATION is about to become LAW. #nzpol www.reddit.com/r/nzpolitics...

Todays Victim of RDS is none other than David Seymour. With a skin thinner than a pavlovas, David's best promotion of his bill is to attack opposing views. He cant find anyone outside ACT to promote his bill, so his derangement leads him to think he is a victim. #NZPOL #BHN

I hear cost of living in Australia is so great we're all moving there. Maybe their tax rates have something to do with it... #nzpol

@clrenney.bsky.social being denied access to the budget lockup gives strong media censorship totalitarian government vibes. #nzpol

I'm a feminist and I'm angry.

Where is NICOLA GRIGG MP, Minister for Women, on her government’s attack on the Equal Pay Act? Nicola Willis trotted out Stanford and Upston for a performative demonstration of girlboss support but from the MP responsible for representing the interests of women we hear absolute silence. Appalling.

ACT: “we need a referendum on tpb so people can express their views” Also ACT: “we don’t need to process all of the public submissions it’s a waste of time” Again showing their disdain for democracy despite claiming to be protectors of it. #nzpol

Steve Abel MP facepalming and eye rolling in the gallery behind Gerry Eckhoff while he delivers his submission on the TPB is everything I wanted from this day. #nzpol #toitutetiriti

For those of you who enjoy some light passive-aggressiveness, the @nzscientists.bsky.social website homepage now (and for the foreseeable future) tells you how long it's been since AoNZ had a Prime Minister's Chief Science Advisor. 211 days and counting! 🧪

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945. They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

I have decided to try and communicate more visually here, so here is my first meme attempt. LOL #NZPOL
