YouTube video by The Gender Agenda How To Transition: Am I doing it right? | Episode 1 | The Gender Agenda S2 🌈 ⚧

E hoa mā, the Gender Agenda is a real excellent web series from Aotearoa for and about trans people, and the season 2 premiere has just landed! Keep an eye out later this season for a familiar face 👀 youtu.be/t9rlYnNmieE?...

Finally got to watch this and it's so beautiful! Well done team xx

Good cuppa fixes all the things. Milk no sugar teabag out and strong brew.

Tax flight is NOT A THING. Rich people don't move because of high cost of living; that's what makes them rich! Being forced out due to high costs is a poor person thing, not a rich person thing. Can you imagine a billionaire saying they moved somewhere lame because of expenses? Insane.

A government using its tax revenue to wisely invest in infrastructure and quality-of-life-enhancing services for its residents? Whoever thought of such a thing?

*rest of us

Like the test of us, we don't use it.

'Social investment' doesn't mean 'cuts'. They are being required to make cuts, and directed to use 'social investment' (i.e. normal evaluation methods) as a way to decide what to cut. 'Social investment' as a theory overall would tell you invest more in our failing, underfunded services.

Horrifying thread on the situation in Gaza.

Please press governments to take action to force supplies into Gaza and restore the ceasefire, @carladenyer.bsky.social @adrianramsay.bsky.social @maramadavidson.bsky.social @teanau.bsky.social @philtwyford.bsky.social

But y'know....I get media has to create some hype.

It's in the interview. It's what we've said for the past at least 4 elections.
We'll work with anyone who wants to support our policies and vision.
We know Nats don't.
Not as exciting as their clickbait title is trying hard to suggest.

The Green budget has great stuff in it and it frustrates me no end that they get treated like "tree-hugging weirdos" while National, who were told that their landlord tax cuts didn't add up before the election, get to throw women under the bus and still are somehow "safe hands" for the economy.

#NZPol Great work here from @maramadavidson.bsky.social (as usual).

It’s mind boggling and frustrating to me that people are so stuck believing this is the only way things can be. Having lived in a real Social Democracy I know it’s not true. Cmon AoNZ, let’s kick the neolibs out.

3 charts from Child Poverty Report 2025 - showing no change in rates of child poverty over next 4 years - and no impact on child poverty from Budget announcements.

#NZPol. Reluctant to do knee jerk commentary ... but ...

Child Poverty Report is a whole *4 pages* long - of which one page is charts.

Those charts indicate that Budget announcements are expect to do SFA to improve child poverty rates over coming 4 years.

Reflects perverted set of priorities😡.

For anyone who wants to look at the report.

Page of a report with text. Summarises the govt budget overall making things worse for children and whānau regarding poverty.

Front page of a report with title "Child Poverty Report, 22 May 2025."

Page of a report showing graphs that show child poverty reduction targets not being achieved and poverty rates increasing.

Some photos for now cos I can't find link but will keep looking.

A thing to do is amplify Greens policy (see @maramadavidson.bsky.social) and @tepaatimaori.bsky.social policy.

Talk about it with your mates. Plaster it over your social media.

The Government is trying to normalise wealth inequity, conservatism, misogyny - amplify and vote for those pushing back.

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

I went straight to the Govts Child Poverty Report that assesses their Budget.
This cruel govt has CHOSEN to put throw more children & whānau into poverty!
It doesn't have to be this way! We can decide to have an Aotearoa that looks after all of us and our planet.

Just about everything Nicola Willis is announcing in this budget is bad for our future, bad for climate, bad for our society.
Taking money from essential workers in female dominated industries, young families having new babies, KiwiSavers. It’s madness.

It is a very particular thing with this Government that businesses are the only things that drives economic growth, whereas people just, I dunno, have babies and breath too much.

Can't see the specific thing, but yes we've been clear about repealing all the bad stuff.

We've put out a couple of videos focusing on only this part which is getting good pickup but we're gonna spend heaps of time across the motu having this kōrero.

Budget 2025 must fund human rights, not ration needs

A budget that doesn’t address decades of underfunding under the guise of fiscal discipline is one that leaves people behind. #DisabilityRightsAreHumanRights #nzpol #Budget2025

Ae I announced this the past two general elections!

ACC ‘pauses’ $45m sexual abuse initiative as questions hover over $3.6b liability The sexual violence prevention programme appears to have been cut simply to save money, says Green party co-leader Marama Davidson.

“It's a cost-cutting exercise, but it's also the Government saying, ‘we don't value violence prevention work and services in communities and schools’.” My comment from this article.
