National MPs, with their six figure salaries, who claim accommodation supplements that are more than some state housing occupants earn in a year, stripping away accomm support for state housing tenants is some next level hypocritical cruelty.

MP Tom Rutherford reading out letters from people scared of trans people as a threat to their children shows their ignorance. Cisgender (not trans) men who are pedophiles are a threat to children. Drug pushers are a threat to teenagers. Trans people aren't a threat.

Shane is a misogynistic bully who throws his weight around when wāhine Māori stand against his extractive politics. I won't be bullied out of defending Ngāti Ruanui success. He’s normalised belittling wāhine because we are extremely informed unapologetic and prepared to challenge him!

Solar panels + batteries + electric transport gives us the freedom to take back control of our energy and transport systems from dependence on oil supply chains stretching around the world, and stabilise the climate in the process.

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.

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!

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!
