Oh, FFS.

The core reason why the coalition is failing OPINION: Given the mess Labour left, why aren't National and ACT light years ahead in the polls?

My commentnon various "left wing" FB comments threads.. "was no one in these comments and adult in the 1990s?"

I'm gonna try to articulate something I've been thinking about for a while, regarding *why* disillusionment, distrust, & dissatisfaction with democracy are rising.

Almost everything I read takes this phenomenon as an exogenous shock, assuming no one chose to make it so. I suspect that's incomplete.

Have youse caught up with this MAGANZ nonsense?

Lol. So about 40% of local elections supported Māori Wards ...and less than half that elected ACT candidates.

Just to clarify my position. Ryan Bridges must be sacked.

"here's a chick who..."

A fucking woman you Hosking wannabe amateur misogynist hack.

The whole interview was a disgrace, but even teenagers know this isn't how you speak these days if you want to be respected.

Is this is an attempt to look Strong and Dynamic by Luxon/National for their donor demographics...

......that's being squeaked out on a Sunday because they want to appeal to people through cruelty, but also don't want to get into trouble for it? #nzpol

I don't think Luxon feels very safe. Good.

Education Minister Erica Stanford accused of 'manufacturing a crisis' Reforms will unleash a "tsunami of work", says a former school principal and NZQA executive.

Shades of the ferries and Dunedin hospital and the polytechs. Scrap the existing programme without warning or planning, create an expensive muddle, then replace it with something less good and more expensive. All for the sake of ideology.

What do you do when the man who said you should have "the living shit beaten out of you" keeps sitting in the front row of candidate events?

You make him meet your eye.

You make him listen to the gasps of outrage when you say his words outloud.

You make him listen to the applause you get.

You got blocked for being a dick - just as you are being now. You're also dead wrong.

Half of Kiwis cut back on fruit and vegetables as costs rise Numbers cutting back on fresh fruit and vegetables increased from 23.3 percent to 47.7 percent in five years, according to a new report.

Marama Davidson described the data as "bleak" and said it showed deep wealth inequality that had left some people unable to afford the basics of a decent life, "and feeling less and less trust in the system to actually care for and represent them".

Hundreds of principals to boycott curriculum roadshows Union members say they won't attend next month's events promoting the government's curriculum changes until they get a pay offer.

"principals were asked to implement changes to the curriculum and deliver these changes at an unreasonable and exhausting pace - over three months instead of a more usual timeframe of about three years.

"This made our workloads unsustainable and caused burnout in our profession,"

Second this:
1. Colonial theatre (Nasia is nice; I’d say ‘bloviated navel-gazing’)
2. Anti-colonial solidarity ✊🏽
3. Palestinian sovereignty beyond Western permission.

Cartoon. Title: “Spot the difference” Seven frames. The first three show Stuart Nash. He’s saying, “Women… have two tits…and a pussy! Heh-heh-heh” The next three frames show President Trump. He’s saying, “Heh-heh-heh. Women…I grab ‘em by the pussy!” In each of the frames the men are making the same gestures, grabbing imaginary breasts, and grabbing at their crotch. The last frame says, “One of them got himself kicked off a delegation to the United States. The other one runs the United States”

Spot the difference.
(Feat. quotes from Stuart Nash, formerly Labour Min of Police, Min for Oceans and Fisheries, Min of Tourism and Hospitality, Min of Forestry, now good friend of NZ First. No intro needed for the other fellow quoted)
