Shane Jones called a trade deal with India a "butter chicken tsunami" this week. So here's Taika Waititi from 2017, still relevant, still necessary. Give nothing to racism. š¬

Luxon cancelled Breakfast over TVNZ staff conduct. Hosking named 5 National MPs as disloyal leakers on air. All of them say it's rubbish and fake news. One of those MPs has a formal Media Council complaint pending. Will Luxon cancel his appearance on Hosking's show?

Luxon cancelled Breakfast after 3 cheeky interviews with Tova O'Brien. Ardern cancelled Newstalk ZB after ~49 hostile interviews with Hosking ā four years of being called dangerous, narcissistic, and a control freak. These two things are not the same.

how are under-employed hours counted? I am only employed for 15 hours a week - would like to work full-time, but I don't think I am showing in any data because I do not qualify for government support. I imagine there are many like me in a similar boat?

Let's roll up our sleeves and get involved - whether Labour or the Greens (or TPM or TOP). If you want better messaging or more visibility on social media or whatever, then join your local branch, offer your skills, volunteer, donate etc. Send your local lefty MPs positive & encouraging messages.

Changing this govt will require all of us ordinary ppl to find a way to work together and build each other up and encourage each other and promote a narrative of hope and change and that another way is possible. While also disagreeing with each other 𤣠Harder, but feasible I think?

It's easy to point at each other and criticise each other for not being left enough or purist enough or good enough etc etc. Especially when we are scared and worried and desperately afraid of what another 3 years of NACT will mean for us all.

Top tip for National for 2026: You got elected on promising to fix the economy and the cost of living crisis. Stop blaming Labour, and just get on with it. Less moaning, and more doing.

Loved this Jon Stewart and Jacinda Ardern conversation. Too many leaders weaponise fear. True leadership treats power as responsibilityāto act with empathy, optimism & courage, and to improve lives. A good reminder right now.

Deborah Hart called the situation in Gaza 'perceived wrongdoings.' Let's be clear: killing 44,835 people, including 17,492 children, isn't perceivedāit's wrong. Full stop. And yes, antisemitic behavior in NZ is wrong too. Surely we can hold both truths at once?

What an appalling minister he is. It's a very bad sign that coalition members are tossing around 'woke' as a pejorative. It's up there with snowflake and virtue signalling as a marker of sneering right wing rejection of basic decency.
