At a time when, as Winston Peters said, the international system ‘stands on the precipice of breaking down’, New Zealand’s position may chip away at what remains of its foundation, writes international law scholar Ash Stanley-Ryan. #nzpol

It's NEVER been about the hostages. Right from the start. Netanyahu is a warmongering, genocidal monster. www.timesofisrael.com/no-doubt-net...

At least my DNA kinsmen have got it right. “To do nothing is not neutrality. It is complicity,” youtu.be/-YqoY7xAluY?...

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality." - Desmond Tutu

The Green Party says the Government’s decision not to recognise Palestinian statehood is cowardly, and a stain on Aotearoa’s reputation as a voice for peace and justice internationally. www.greens.org.nz/govt_cowardl...

#BHN SPECIAL today at 3.30pm with Marama Davidson LIVE on Winston Peters' UN speech to not recognise Palestine #nzpol #nzpolitics @nzgreensglobal.bsky.social @maramadavidson.bsky.social youtube.com/live/9-sDoJ3...

. Gaza The dead boy tries to open his eyes. He wants to see the world he is leaving. But there is nothing to see here, nothing and nothing, and anyway he is gone. His parents held him while he died but they are both dead, too. Or he held them, no one remembers. .

Winston Peters says no to recognising the Palestinian state in a speech littered with Israeli talking points and arguments. What a sad day for NZ #nzpol #kiwi

What could have happened

There are many reasons to be sad about the loss of so much media culture and competence lately but one of the reasons is that there is not one single article about this headlined "BELL ENDS" www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

i-Rex ferries costs us in much more than the $677 million straight cancellation fees etc. Our only rail enabled ferry Aratere is being retired on Monday, maintenance fees have gone up tens of millions, future proofing will now be relegated to lumping this cost on future generations #nzpol #irex

Well done, Alaska.

I don't want to knock Maiki Sherman but her analysis is really not great Even The Post headline provided better clarity

So Hipkins did front the inquiry & they let him go an hour early b/c they ran out of questions. Also Winston was part of the leadership team & urged vacs, ACT were offering $ for vax and National were begging for Labour to borrow more. Such dirty politics & 1News analysis tonight wasn't great

It’s not only racism, it’s ERASISM — erase those Māori words so our children can learn the one language to rule them all. 😡😡😡😡😡 www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Love this new resource from the Green Party where you can find out about your Green candidates these local government elections. PS I am on there 💚 www.greens.org.nz/local

“Stanford ignored what Māori educators, communities, and students have been saying for years: that success doesn’t come from abandonment. It comes from mana. Language is part of that. Pride is part of that. And without it, you don’t get equity — you get erosion.” 01100100.com/apiape/erica...

Why we don't already have a Labour-TPM-Greens coalition in opposition to the current Government in NZ is just beyond me. The population of Aotearoa is crying (some of us literally) out for sweeping changes to justice, poverty, health, social welfare, education, taxation and climate change.
