In today’s Weekend Herald #nzpolitics

Well said, Susan #NZpol

how're progressives who backed Brown and decided not to run a campaign against him feeling now? Pretty early in the term for this kinda fash, can he be 'worked with' on forcible removal of rough sleepers? www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland-...

I wonder if the cookers and transphobes have figured out he's only playing them for media attention yet. The brilliant performative politics of NZ First’s fake members’ bills thespinoff.co.nz/politics/06-...

I’d also like to take the opportunity to wish Duncan Grieve a very happy “reflect on how wrong you were about trans politics”, looking forward to your long piece discussing how you got duped by the disinfo machine jenniferkshields.nz/newsletter/i...

What they should do is push those *nasty* homeless people with their sleeping and trying to stay warm, out of the centre of Auckland, push them down Khyber Pass and through Newmarket turning left onto Remuera Road, further, on, right up to the Remuera Golf Club then build some fuckin' houses! #NZPol

"I would just ask that everybody who has an interest and a stake in Auckland city centre calms down. Hysteria is not helping." - Chlöe Swarbrick A 31 year old telling others twice her age to calm-the-f**k down. Thats where we are now, folks... www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

I have been saying for years, due to the unique nature of the disabilities, a pension is more accurate and just allow those of us who can do intermittent part time work to not lose out on that either

Gov austerity intentionally making more homeless. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Fucking nightmare!! Only a dangerously unaware egg in a borrowed suit would put this woman in charge of anything to do with children.💩🥚😱 She can't even admit that our most popular psychoactive substance is 100% toxic even though we can all count the bodies.😒 #OneTermGovernment #nzpol

I can't get over the transit here - it cost me $4.65 NZD to train ~1.5hrs from Osaka to Kyoto. It costs more than that to get from Tawa to Welly station 😅

GREAT WORK AOTEAROA ✊ KIA KAHA! Everyone deserves A DECENT INCOME and A DECENT LIFE - and if that's not what's happening, *damn straight we need to talk about it*! We demand *decent government* for *EVERYONE*, and you should accept *nothing less* than this. #Oct23Strike ✊ #NZMegaStrike ✊ #NZpol

The current Government wilfully spreads misinfo about unions despite being well aware unions are the collective voice of workers that rebalance the scales so that people in work are protected from exploitation and harm. It’s a good time to join one. #nzpol I’m retired but I’m a solidarity member.

"Our parents aren't having children."

APANZ apologises for the historical harms caused by its organisational policies. APANZ is standing up in support of the rainbow community at a time when they really need to feel that. Well done APANZ! www.scoop.co.nz/stories/AK25...

I’ll leave the detailed analysis to people like Prof Ursula Cheer, but I want to acknowledge something simple: speech can absolutely be harmful. It can humiliate, damage reputation, isolate, and endanger. These harms are social and structural, not just merely emotional. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Also useful to note that the money they spend on actual counselling has gone down despite their revenue increasing, which is explained by greater efficiency. If a charity that offers a counselling service has more money, then surely, they ought to be investing in expanding their counselling?

Someone else has has cracked 40%, it's a small protest action of activism that warms the heart #NZPol

Our govt love fascism

“Young and can't get a job in this austerity economy? Govt's got a policy to make it worse. The coalition's putting the boot in.” - DR GARY PAYINDA #nzpol

Luxon is so fucked

As one of the orgs that was privileged enough to be able to present an oral submission on the RSB to we are about to issue an emergency press release saying the opposition leaders must issue a joint statement saying they will repeal the law should the bill pass. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

The coalition government in a nutshell. ‘They fear the future, they dream of a world that never was and never could be, they’re exclusionary, they’re humourless – they’re this coalition.‘ - Chris Finlayson #nzpol

Opinion: Nation upset at the inevitable result of its own actions “Step one: push people out of work and onto the streets. Step two: get mad at people being out of work or on the streets” #nzpol

Does he still think autism is a gender thing?

Every Nicola Willis statement on the state of the economy since she became the Minister of Finance (just before blaming Labour for her mess).💩 #OneTermGovernment #nzpol

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Willis is callous & ignorant. Firstly, Fonterra despite all their money is not a Living Wage Employer. Secondly, it’s not positive if more than 1/4 of NZ kids are struggling for food & we grow enough for 40 million & govt inaction and corp greed means a steadily growing number go hungry. #nzpol

Lol. The worst bloke at his job in NZ has the cheek to criticise the ethical meticulous work of people ensuring our votes are accurately counted that he probably underfunds. Do it fast and rubbish says Luxon, thats how we pass laws. #nzpol

But only if you're a home-owner with an average mortgage who's in a position to refinance So that's landlords, right? www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

Cause out on the edge of darkness, there rides a piss train Oh piss train take this country, come take me home again Oh piss train sounding louder Glide on the piss train Come on now piss train Yes, piss train holy roller Everyone jump upon the piss train Come on now piss train

More independent media please

Input sought on draft model for palliative care

It’s all about personal responsibility says Seymour. Yeah right. Kids in ECEs just need to step up and keep themselves warm and safe. Seymour/ACT are making every corner of NZ unsafe so that corps and the worst employers/providers can make more profit. #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3606...

I actually cried reading this, because I think it's the first time I've seen my own situation highlighted in the media, and all the feelings of shame and anger that go along with it. "I’m a 45-year-old person who has been working my entire life. I should not be in such a situation."

National tries to re-invent itself as homelessness surpasses 113,000 and over 600 Kiwis live in cars #NZPol

Auckland is on fire sale, I don't know how we can survive another year of this no boat, no butter, no ideas government #NZPol

Text message from a friend of mine in DC: It’s unbearably sad in my neighborhood right now. There are at least 4 groups of patrolling soldiers in full military uniform carrying guns…Being from Africa I am frightened to see military forces in civilian neighborhoods…usually a sign of very bad things

I'm starting to think that doing things cheaply isn't good investment

Elderly facing many health and hospital risks because Labor’s care at home program ‘so badly designed’, expert warns

Good grief. Our PM wants his property portfolio and those of his colleagues/friends/donors to rise and to hell with homelessness, unaffordable rents, and people barely being able to put food on the table. Headine should read: “I want to be more wealthy and more sorted says Luxon”

“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.

#DisabilityPanel Disability righrs exoert Zara Todd appointed to lead new panel shaping labour government health & disability policy www.gov.uk/government/n...

She went from saying they would not borrow to pay for tax cuts to borrowing for paying for tax cuts with barely a whimper from the media, what is up with that? #NZPol Screengrab fro 23 April 2024

Brooke van Velden will be holding multiple street corner meetings all over Tāmaki electorate on 7th September. I highly recommend everyone comes to join them and make their feelings known about pay equity. #payequity #nzpol

I challenge anybody to listen to, or read Christopher Luxon's answers at Question Time, and just by using what he said, try to guess what the question was that he was being asked.💩🥚 #ThisGameHasNoSolution #WorstPrimeMinisterEver #OneTermGovernment #nzpol

Imagine being a woman in politics (in 2025, mind you). If it's not the online violence to shut you up and get you out, the structure you work within tries its hardest to do the same. #NZpol Please read this 🧵
