Amazing how the Labour Parties in NZ/Aus/UK now stand for nothing other than career advancement for their own politicians.

These parties literally created public health systems from scratch, but now they can't even commit to funding them properly without running things by their corporate bosses.

This πŸ‘‡ and I would go further and say questions also need to be asked about why so many senior cops also appear to have connections to fundy churches and to what extent that has influenced promotions and other decisions.

Dr Hedley said Napier’s urgent medical care needed a β€œrethink”.

He said he would push for overnight doctors to be available on-site at Napier Health if elected in November, although he added that was not currently a Labour Party policy or commitment.

β€œThat is not a Labour Party policy, but that is my commitment to the community here is advocating strongly for the restoration of overnight [doctor] services in Napier.”

How embarrassing that Labour candidates are having to clarify that the promises they're making aren't backed by their own party, even when said promises are basic public goods like ensuring Napier City has reliable after hours healthcare.

Sorry maybe if they paid taxes in Britain they would deserve some protection from the British state but they don't which is why they moved to shit chocolate and slave labour land.

According to payment processors, purchasing fictional sexy art is grossly immoral.

Betting on school children getting blown up is fine though.

Literally, at work this morning:

Clinician: Patient should stop medication A, but must keep taking medication B.

AI VR transcription of this: Patient should stop taking medication B.

Seriously NEVER LET A DOCTOR USE AI FOR YOUR APPOINTMENTS. NEVER. UNDER ANY FUCKING CIRCUMSTANCES.

Luxon could fling his own feces around the ninth floor of the Beehive and the press gallery would characterise it as a thoughtful and considered response to outside pressure.

If you investigate the full history of MMP voting, you'll see that Winston Peters has always been the toxic indicator of everything we got wrong that needs to be changed.πŸ’©

I hate the lazy talking point that whatever in the world is happening is "a distraction from Epstein" especially when all this shit was in motion way before and is 100% in line with US imperialism stretching wayyy back.

It also minimizes the psycho shit Israel and US are doing.

I’ve been wondering about the recently visible support of Iranian diaspora via Reza Pahlavi that we’ve seen from RW stunters like Seymour.

Learned (Haaretz report) Pahlavi was recently boosted by an Israeli-driven influence campaign. Ah.

How about making changes that would make home ownership affordable instead of tweaking things so more people can deplete their retirement savings just to have somewhere to live now (when they already have somewhere to live?).

Unilateral attack on Iran must be condemned We are building a future where we do more, faster, to protect our planet and make sure everyone is treated equally.

Compare and contrast. Greens name Trump and Netanyahu in the first three words of theirs. This is what a proper statement looks like. www.greens.org.nz/unilateral_a...

You're right it's a proper Labour Party statement. Hipkins is too gutless to mention by name the countries responsible for the attacks in his statement. It's exactly the sort of milquetoast statement we've come to expect from Labour.

Volunteering to solicit donations on the street, whilst being the architect of a bill that punishes other people doing so, while also doing it for a healthcare charity when his party has gutted the public health system...

The irony meter is off the charts today.

Just a thought:
Maybe if we supply the homeless with a wee vest that says β€œhomeless charity” and little bucket - they would be β€œcharity collectors” and not moved on?
It’s the uniform isn’t it? The lack of homemade sign that makes this ok, yeah?
We can give as long as it’s clean & corporate, right?

Not sure what else is left to say. All I’ve known for my whole life is most powerful country in the world and its satellite states killing as they please around the world to no consequence. And this ability to kill and oppress worldwide is the supposed testament to their greatness.

Easiest way to block Hormuz would be to place several hundred million tonnes of American steel at the bottom of it.

Screenshot of a social media post by a verified account named David Seymour reading, β€œOur dinner for Persian freedom fighters was well timed. Let freedom reign this time.” Below the text is a photo of a dining table set with plates, glasses, and a vase of flowers beside large glass doors. Outside the doors hang several green-white-red flags with lion-and-sun emblems. A folded cloth sits on a countertop in the foreground.

Let's not forget that Seymour called New Zealand's first Iranian born member of parliament, a woman whose parents fled the regime as dissidents, a "menace to freedom" resulting in her needing extra security as threats increased

He directed contributed to her being hounded out of public life

In this context, we acknowledge that the actions taken overnight by the US and Israel were designed to prevent Iran from continuing to threaten international peace and security.

Watch: Rocket Lab blasts off on hypersonic mission for US Department of War Rocket Lab has launched its latest HASTE rocket from Virginia, deploying a scramjet-powered aircraft in a US hypersonic test mission.

Not RNZ running puff pieces on Rocket Lab collaborating with the US military while they're murdering school girls 🀑

Peter Beck and everyone working for Rocket Lab should be done for war crimes.
