Not to mention the biggest arsenal in the world to a narcissistic attention-seeker.

So relatable & so right! Even my centre right/left husband was very impressed too. We need to have more conversations in NZ around what we need to do next to arrest the acceleration of inequality & reform our entire economy. It can be done, as it was done post WW11.

Just attended a thing, with loads of other people, and I think I met my people. We can make positive change for all of us if we want it enough for ourselves & others. Let’s flip the script in 2026! #PeoplesEconomistTourNZ #nzpol #TaxWealthMore #TaxWorkLess

It blows my mind how obvious it is that we are being robbed blind by the few with exceptional power & wealth and the rest of us just fight amongst ourselves about beneficiaries or Māori or immigrants or tax or trans people etc. WAKE UP FFS. 🤦‍♀️

I’m hoping to see at least a few from the Left bloc at Gary Stevenson’s “Tax Wealth More” event in Auckland tonight. I’ll report back for sure! 😉

New Zealanders support more taxes on ultra-rich, new poll shows Half of New Zealanders also agreed that billionaires shouldn't exist while people still struggled with basic necessities like housing, food and healthcare.

Omg, are we actually getting through to people, finally? 😱😃🤞 #nzpol #TaxWealthMore #TaxWorkLess #OneTermGovernment

“New Zealand is frequently ranked among the world's top five wealthiest countries per adult, often surpassing nations like Canada, Denmark, and Sweden.”

Also men who’ve never known the reality of WAR. Boomer babies who’ve lived charmed lives supported by socialism into free university, tons of government & private sector jobs & affordable housing for all…til the 80’s when THEY voted for neoliberalism, yanked the ladder up & laughed at everyone else.

Back when the top tax rate was over 70% for his entirely delightful journey through childhood and into free university & loads of government or private sector jobs to choose from. Back when we pooled resources to build our nation, rather than hoard them for the tax dodgers at the top. What a life. 🙄

Greens overtake Labour in sensational poll The Greens have polled higher than Labour in the latest poll by YouGov, which puts them only two points off Reform UK and five ahead of the governing party.

Wow.

The Green Party is now the most popular party in all age categories under 50 in the UK.

The first thing this coalition government should have done was scale up the renewable energy sector more than what the previous government had started. If they’d done that singular thing, we’d all be more healthy & SECURE, also with the wealth to raise future generations, in confidence not fear. 🤷‍♀️

I feel like the most proudly relevant ANZAC Day in the last 80 years, will be April 25th 2026. We need to remember the sacrifices so many innocent kiwis made in order for the next generations (us) to never have to even contemplate the pure evil of patriarchal authoritarianism or fascism. #nzpol 💔🕊️

Finding any current NZ National Party MP with even an ounce of integrity would be a bit of stretch at this point, sadly. 🤦‍♀️ #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

In other news, they’re also planning on hiking fuel prices to pay for more rOaDs, which on top of the Middle East inflationary war, means more unaffordable costs being lumped onto struggling kiwi families in the midst of a worsening cost of living crisis. Genius level incompetence. 🤦‍♀️

If you thought petrol prices would rise because of the illegal war in the Middle East, you’re correct…but wait there’s more, the NZ National Party are going to punch you in throat & rob you blind by hiking fuel prices by 12c per litre next year, increasing year on year, because rOaDs? 🤪
