Yuck, his words of support would not help any candidate in a Māori seat. But Nats are soooooo scared of us, I love it! #oneterm

Labour leader Chris Hipkins dismisses criticism of Covid-19 overspending as 'Treasury spin' Treasury says the Labour government overspent during the pandemic against official advice.

Chris Hipkins can deny it but the record is clear Māori were left behind in the COVID response. The Waitangi Tribunal researchers & our lived reality show the same thing inequitable vaccine rollout poor engagement & avoidable harm that’s why Māori led our own response

I thgt we all wanted #oneterm govt!?

A Minister has a duty to be accountable not to twist equity into a racial grievance.Seymour’s refusal to reply is a calculated deflection. Māori are a Te Tiriti partner, equity isn’t about favouritism it’s about fairness, pretending not to see race doesn’t make him neutral it makes him dangerous

They mocked my whakapapa lied I spray-tan to “look Māori.” Winston and Plunket amplified it. Using our bodies to shame and condition us is the colonial playbook. We must call out colonial sexualised violence, our tāne esp so. When wāhine Māori are targeted, all of te iwi Māori is under attack.#NZpol

Welcoming Oriini Kaipara is powerful but how do we protect our wāhine when colonial sexual violence thrives in media & politics?
What’s happening to Tory Whanau is in a system built to shame, silence & degrade wāhine Māori who lead. Ray Cheung’s threats aren’t politics, they’re violence! #matriachy

All the hui, zooms, mobilising, social media, marae, rangatahi, kaumātua, kapa haka, kura, mahi, hapū, whānau, settled, non settled, never settled iwi, urban, rural, tangata tiriti course we’ll repeal bru didn’t do all this mahi for nothing! It’ll be gone by lunch time #toitutetiriti #nzpol

Agree 💯

The US attacks Iran without cause & Winston Peters is silent,hes quick to condemn Chinese ships in intl waters & Cook Is but won’t defend Iran. Iran, China and Cook Is are sovereign nations. Israel hoards nuclear weapons & commits genocide but the world polices everyone else. Colonial hypocrisy 🙄

NZ punishing the Cook Islands for exercising sovereignty shows exactly how colonial control still works in the Pacific. Free association isn’t freedom if it comes with threats. #PacificSolidarity #WhakapapaNotWarfare #DecoloniseAid

Remember this Winston in 2018 anti-austerity what a soul seller www.beehive.govt.nz/speech/capit...

Sick leave is a right, not a reward.
Cutting it punishes low-paid workers, single parents, and especially Māori and Pacific women.

Pro-rating fuels inequality, risks outbreaks, and betrays the workers who carried us through COVID.

Let’s be clear Israel’s attack on Iran isn’t preemptive. It’s a preventive war, illegal, immoral, and timed for advantage, not defence. The world should be alarmed!

Genocide is genocide.
Sanctioning two Israeli ministers is a performance, not justice. Real action would cut diplomatic ties, uphold international law, recognise the State of Palestine, sanction Israeli companies, military officials & weapons suppliers. Govt doing everything it can to do nothing!

Govts Seabed Mining in Fast Track is Muldoons Think Big in a Wetsuit and our community know it! Every activation is bigger and louder, standing in unity with one strong message #noseabedmining

Ever notice the trolls who oppose Te Tiriti, Māori, takatapui rights, women equity & taiao protection are the same trolls who support Israel genocide & Coc #freepalestine #nzpol #oneterm

Impossible missions Labour’s first and most urgent mission is to knock Te Pāti Māori out of the race, says Chris Trotter

While we fought the racists right-wing govt we heard a centrist tone matching this play in the house yday, thank goodness for Te Pāti Kakariki who showed our aligned values. What worked in 2017 def won’t work in 2026 🙄#oneterm #nzpol

Racist trash high on one -term energy

TTR promises $1.5B over 20 years & 77 non-local jobs.They have no mining experience no funds no smelter & no fleet.The tech, jobs & profits go offshore while the damage & mess stay. Unproven extractor relying on political favour to raise capital. When govt falls in 2026 we’ll repeal #noseabedmining

Yes @chrishipkins.bsky.social I spoke & 50% TPM were doing a song and dance with the unions, with our wahine, with aunties, with our mokopuna for equal pay, for mana wāhine, for justice. Chill, come have a kanikani our ppl need unity rn💋😘😚

Not sorry i was here supporting 300k women & not waiting for govt BS budget! #onetermgovt

E ki e ki Chris Bishop! We asked for a 15 May debate to keep Budget Week clear. Govt said no then delayed it themselves. Privilege in action.While they cut Māori housing, climate, and health, women we show up for our people. Like a marae, everyone carries the load. They stall we serve #OneTerm

Before their first move we’d already seen their endgame. Generations of resistance sharpens your vision #toitutehaka #onetermgovt

We’re much more lethal outside of the house…21 extra days to power up the movement to get rid of them #onetermgovt

Before the debates, before the noise, we have karakia - not just a ritual, but a reminder.
Of who we are.
Of why we’re here.
Of who we serve.
