Not good enough to take 20 days to count special votes

But recognising Palestinian statehood is not a race

Feel like our priorities on what's urgent may be a bit skewed

Coward.

Brooke van Velden will be holding multiple street corner meetings all over Tāmaki electorate on 7th September. I highly recommend everyone comes to join them and make their feelings known about pay equity.

They get away with it because people don't protest like they used to.

Peaceful protests are useless against an enemy with no morals

Chris Bishop's interview was a real banger once you extricate the spin:

1. If National win a second term, they will privatise NZ without restriction
2. He admits voter suppression laws will help National
3. $64bn+ of their transport plan is unfunded
4. They don't care for business cases

it genuinely galls me that TPM and the greens get called "too extreme" but the same is never said of NZ first and ACT, who are literal fascists.

I’ve seen estimate of 100,000-300,000 people in today’s march. A sobering thought: these are also the conservative (100k) realistic (300k) estimates of people israel massacred in Gaza.

Nice work, everyone who showed up and voted down around 15 bad ideas at the AGM. And thanks to everyone who voted in the elections.

Don't stop participating! The one thing we can be sure of is that the fuckery won't stop today.

We turn up next year e te whānau and each year until these racist assholes are gone. Because let's be honest they'll be homophpbic, transphobic, xenophobic and just about everything else too.

FBI can get the hell out of NZ. We’re an independent sovereign nation. This is a shameful obsequious kowtowing to the world’s biggest bully. #nzpol

Richard Burgess, director of BBC News content, on journalists in Gaza: "if they are not able to do their jobs because [of] the lack of food we think thats a really serious situation"

What about when they're dead, Richard? Can they do their jobs then? Where have you been for 21mths?

Solid poster line up in dunedin today

I recognise that Luxon and Willis and the National Party of Business ™ didn't actually promise degrowth, but full credit where it's due.

15 year old dies from the flu. Maybe we shouldn’t go around saying “it’s just the flu”

the core idea that can radicalize people is so simple:

there is enough.

there is enough food to feed everyone. enough resources to house everyone. money and technology and medicine to stop the suffering of people around the globe.

once you accept that there's only one question:

why don't we?

Oi oi dunedin friends:

3. I’m very weary of abusive behaviour in politics being framed as ‘robust debate’ or ‘just jokes’ and even more so when the abuser is a white chap and the victim is not. Not to say women don’t bully, they sure do!
4. Why yes, I do have strong feelings on this subject…

I kinda want to know what dunedin is but I also kinda don't lol

Foreign affairs is not only the domain of your town hall, it’s the domain of your dinner table.

Palestinians have repeatedly asserted that they see and appreciate solidarity from all over the world.

The southernmost city on earth sees and cares about them. This is internationalism.

Mine was pretty short I definitely feel submission fatigue

David Seymour’s schtick works because he is not held accountable by anyone. Not Luxon. Not the media. Yeah he is interviewed here and there or whatever but there’s not true accountability. Absolutely no way a Green leader would get away with this level of nonsense. Not to mention he is dangerous.

harry potter actors: i feel like we can enjoy the work without the stigma attached to its creator

harry potter's creator: every time you watch harry potter you send money to me, which i use to suffocate the rights of minorities. i have publically said this multiple times. i am proud of this

This is dangerous for a party in government to do. It's unacceptable.

wait, ACT is going after a different member of the public EVERY day? They're actually running a direct anti- free speech campaign *targeting* people for exercising their rights?

How have they not been taken apart over this??

Government looking at cutting sick leave entitlements, Christopher Luxon says The prime minister has hinted changes to the law could be coming.

Honestly what is wrong with these people? www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

'Where was the care of thought?': Greens criticise ministers over pay equity advice Government ministers did not get advice on what the changes to pay equity would mean for specific claims in their portfolios.

A shoddy process by a shoddy government who took no duty of care on how this would impact low paid women workers. We can afford to pay people what they deserve. We can do this by making the super rich pay their fair share and choosing our communities over greed www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
