When Māori and women MPs are punished while Govt privilege is protected, that’s not neutrality its bias. A Speaker’s duty is to uphold fairness, not shield the Govt. If they can’t rise above partisanship, the real disorder is not on the Opposition benches, but in the Chair itself.

Chris Hipkins can deny it but the record is clear Māori were left behind in the COVID response. The Waitangi Tribunal researchers & our lived reality show the same thing inequitable vaccine rollout poor engagement & avoidable harm that’s why Māori led our own response

A Minister has a duty to be accountable not to twist equity into a racial grievance.Seymour’s refusal to reply is a calculated deflection. Māori are a Te Tiriti partner, equity isn’t about favouritism it’s about fairness, pretending not to see race doesn’t make him neutral it makes him dangerous

They mocked my whakapapa lied I spray-tan to “look Māori.” Winston and Plunket amplified it. Using our bodies to shame and condition us is the colonial playbook. We must call out colonial sexualised violence, our tāne esp so. When wāhine Māori are targeted, all of te iwi Māori is under attack.#NZpol

Welcoming Oriini Kaipara is powerful but how do we protect our wāhine when colonial sexual violence thrives in media & politics? What’s happening to Tory Whanau is in a system built to shame, silence & degrade wāhine Māori who lead. Ray Cheung’s threats aren’t politics, they’re violence!

The US attacks Iran without cause & Winston Peters is silent,hes quick to condemn Chinese ships in intl waters & Cook Is but won’t defend Iran. Iran, China and Cook Is are sovereign nations. Israel hoards nuclear weapons & commits genocide but the world polices everyone else. Colonial hypocrisy 🙄

NZ punishing the Cook Islands for exercising sovereignty shows exactly how colonial control still works in the Pacific. Free association isn’t freedom if it comes with threats.

Sick leave is a right, not a reward. Cutting it punishes low-paid workers, single parents, and especially Māori and Pacific women. Pro-rating fuels inequality, risks outbreaks, and betrays the workers who carried us through COVID.

Genocide is genocide. Sanctioning two Israeli ministers is a performance, not justice. Real action would cut diplomatic ties, uphold international law, recognise the State of Palestine, sanction Israeli companies, military officials & weapons suppliers. Govt doing everything it can to do nothing!

What we’re seeing from this govt goes beyond austerity, this is deliberate ideological violence dressed up as fiscal discipline. Its not about balancing books it’s about rebalancing power away from te tiriti, equity & the most marginalised toward the privileged,white, able-bodied majority

Hell hath no fury like a wāhine underpaid They’ve gutted the Equal Pay Act. Dismissed 33 live claims All to balance the books on the backs of women. One rule for the books, another for their mates If men were underpaid for years, we wouldn’t call it saving. We’d call it theft

Cleaners pay more tax than millionaires. That’s not BS. It’s Inland Revenue data. NZ’s 311 wealthiest families (median wealth: $106m) pay just 8.9% tax on their real income. Most workers pay 2–3x more. 👀 ⬇️⬇️ Source: IRD High-Wealth Report (2023)
