How much is a Kiwi's life worth? How David Seymour, Brooke Van Velden and the right wing Coalition are prioritising money over Kiwi lives at every step

How much is a life worth? What about that of a baby? A friend?

For too long, the current Government - led by Luxon, Seymour and Peters - have prioritised money and corporate donors/lobbyists over the lives of everyday Kiwis.

Please share and help spread awareness. Thanks, Tui.

The trans community may still be nervous re any potential coalition talks between Labour and NZ First though. I think that's fair, without a commitment from Hipkins (leadershp) about that specifically.

Tax funded billboards making claims that are easily disputed by looking around the billboard...

Mark Mitchell is complaining on social media that Coster is relitigating the Jevon McSk disaster?

Relitigate? Does he know the meaning?

This is 1st time we’ve heard Coster’s side of events?

We have heard plenty from MM prior to today, even about Coster. I’m grateful for the other PoV.

Mark Mitchell shouldn't be allowed to have a career after the number of scandals on his watch

yet another display of just how decrepit National's talent pool is that all their cabinet are basically fixed in place

Government urged to ditch second military-style boot camp

📢 The Green Party is calling on the government to abandon boot camps, after revelations that another intake is planned for early next year.

Trans women to be barred from main Labour women’s conference in 2026 All delegates will be able to attend fringe programme as party tries to find compromise while complying with supreme court ruling on gender

The full-hearted embrace of transphobia by their UK counterparts is one of many reasons why people are so vocal about Hipkins and NZ Labour needing to make clear statements & policy about trans rights/trans healthcare.

UN sounds alarm on NZ racism and Māori rights UN CERD warns NZ is backsliding on racial equality: Māori land, Tiriti commitments, hate speech, youth justice, health equity, and human rights institutions face serious risks.

UN CERD warns NZ is backsliding on racial equality: Māori land, Tiriti commitments, hate speech, youth justice, health equity, and human rights institutions face serious risks.

Also noting that NZ Greens and Te Pāti Māori have consistently clearly, loudly and in official writing expressed their firm support of the trans community.

Complete Party Policy We are building a future where we do more, faster, to protect our planet and make sure everyone is treated equally.

If you’re looking for a lift- and for policy that doesn’t hide bare minimum ideas behind the rhetoric of progress - take a look at the Greens platform.
For me, a timely reminder that we don’t move forward by lowering our expectations, but by affirming that hard things can and should be done.👇

Nayyirah Waheed’s “You never ever have to inspire anyone to meet you on the bridge.”

Andrea Gibson’s “I'd sleep for hours until we reached your house. The first time in my life I'd ever rested.”

Mary Oliver’s “You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.”

He gets 1 merit point for exposing the fact that this was a broader problem. It does not balance out the fifty million demerits he gets for his role in both actively and passively maintaining a culture of arrogance and misogyny in Police.

No, Coster is absolutely part of the problem. He covered for McSkimming, allegedly pushed for the investigation to be done quickly so McSkimming could get the top job, and he somehow didn't notice his deputy accessing nearly THREE THOUSAND obscene images on his work device

I don't know who's the most reliable narrator here because it seems like everyone is covering their own ass and fucking over this poor woman at the centre of it (not to mention all the children indirectly exploited for that guy's criminal appetites) and I am sick to death of everyone involved #nzpol

Interesting how Coster and other powerful white men get to speakout meanwhile the actual victim can't as she's still being prosecuted by police.. #nzpol

Two children’s books from the “Violet and the Velvets” series by Rachael King: “The Case of the Missing Stuff” with an orange cover showing a girl playing guitar, and “The Case of the Angry Ghost” with a green cover featuring the same character surrounded by ghost imagery. Both illustrated by Phoebe Morris.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Just finished the first book. Books I wish were around when my daughters were at primary school! But after I’ve read them I can give them to my mokopuna! Ngā mihi nunui. I loved the synesthesia when Violet was playing ♥️

Honestly, with a lot of things happening right now, it's easy to feel down.

But then you go see (and celebrate) the great things that are happening, and cheer right back up :)

Need to talk up the good way more tbh!

Paging left-of-centre politicians in Aotearoa.

Govern with the public, not on their behalf.

Tears immediately down my face, I was glad I was wearing sunglasses. Trans rights NOW!

Immediately this abstract issue of politicians politicizing trans lives for political gain and interfering with clinical best practice melted into a tangible, immediately present reality with real lives in the firing line, all for political gain and fomenting of hatred and division.
