Fucking shameful, we better not do the same.. #nzpol

Many of the reforms from that posting have come with a strong “won’t somebody think of the children” facade, while refusing to listen to experts on the wellbeing of those kids, preferring to lean on right wing religious figures for guidance. Absolute disaster for Australia with the issue mishandled

Australia’s e-safety commissioner was so politically compromised she ran “show committees” where she would allow her friends their allotted hour to speak but would filibuster anyone from the LGBTQI or sex worker community by giving a 50 minute introduction for herself, and leave 10mins of their hour

“National regulator for online safety” is worrisome given history: 98% of the time this is code for “give religious fundies a seat in govt to wage war on LGBTQI+ people, sex workers, or anyone considered morally deplorable or whatever the Christian right buzzword of the day is.

See: Australia

Someone lock this man up for the good of the world.

Evidently, I'm not the only one who thinks so.

And er… Iran in 1953 lol

You don’t think they’re well aware of this? Come on … gimme a break. Of course they are. They will take advantage where they can, while they can, and then plan for Trump’s obvious instability and lies and eventual abandonment.

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

Cartoon from 1953

US strikes on Iran ‘outside international law,’ says Macron Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the 🇺🇸🇮🇱 attack on Iran is a violation of international law.

But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

Last year, 50 Australians were serving on US attack submarines, and that number was on the rise.

The Albanese Government must answer whether Australian troops were used in this attack.

If we don't want to be involved in this war, withdraw Australian troops.

Yup. USA has abandoned the Kurds so often that it should give every US “ally” concern.

The US just uses its so-called “allies”; its real allegiances are to a worldwide, nationless oligarch class, who hate ordinary people everywhere.

Why are men

"a large majority of men aged over 50 support the National/ ACT/ NZ First governing coalition (67.5%)"

(This whole thing smacks of gender, as the dril tweet says, but seriously: older dudes think things like environmental protections and pay equity are effeminate and Not Practical)

Sad bitter old man, who will die with his kids loathing him — but it’s his grandkids in particular who will grow up to absolutely hate him when they find out how much he supported the people enthusiastically destroying their economic and environmental future.

If it’s any consolation whatsoever, the only 50+ man I know who supports them has no friends. None.

Gee, I wonder why someone with views this cruel can’t keep any friends… 🤔

Counterpoint: Winston Churchill was a gigantic racist genocidal piece of shit

I have absolutely no idea why people still quote him. My guess: they just have no idea about the man’s comments.

They need to go after Luxon for this everyday, about his LNG terminal and why he ignored advice (from every damn corner of the community) saying this would OBVIOUSLY happen

Warships were on their way to Iran already, US was engaged in fossil piracy already, when this was announced 🤡

#nzpol

NZME & Sean Plunket direct their angst at former #NZ PM Helen Clark for saying what everyone, bar USA & Israel, confirms:

The war on #Iran - months after they said Iran's nuclear facilities had been obliterated - is illegal

It is.

Just 25% of Americans support it & next steps are even murkier

Why not report on what these communities are saying themselves?

The fucking hate Trump and psychotic American imperialism…

The Kurdish people are sure no friend of the Iranian regime but they are also saying they sure as hell don’t intend to become Trump’s cannonfodder…

Penny Wong's touting double standards with absolute confidence and no shame. Apparently Iran must be attacked because it ignored a UN resolution - meanwhile Israel has ignored 173 resolutions adopted from 2015-2024 alone.

If hundreds of dead Iranian children aren't enough for you to oppose Trump's illegal war, consider this:

For the same $210 billion price tag, we could end homelessness in the US permanently and still have enough money left over to feed every child in the United States for the next five years.

My whole team was laughing about how much of a clown Luxon was today.

“I will tie our country to volatile expensive dirty fuels”

“Oh no, why is our fuel volatile and expensive”

One of the first acts of the Luxon Govt was to end the Gas Transition Plan, designed to reduce dependence on fossil gas. Luxon’s next step was to plan an LNG import terminal. I said it was stupid at the time and as LNG prices rise it looks even more so

Asians in israel not being allowed into bomb shelters by israeli authorities, as they wage war against Iran. There's so many online videos of Filipinos complaining about how their "love" and "loyalty" to israel isn't not being rewarded, because they weren't allowed into bomb shelters, lol. 🤡🤡🤡

Me:
"Build more houses."

Chris Bishop:
"We are."
