Why are random citizens consistently, and continuously, turning up major scandals by the government that NZ media are both *incapable of finding* AND refuse to report on even when they learn about it via citizen journalism???

I remember when asset sales were gonna lead to mum and dad shareholders and now we just have mum and dad paying $500 power bills in the winter. The right wing ideology is a scam. It’s a pyramid scheme. It’s useless. It improves nothing.

Porirua, Wellington, and Far North keeps!

Here's what I know:
Lower Hutt, Whanganui, Nelson, Masterton, Rotorua, Whakatāne all keeping their Māori wards

The fact that Nicola Willis apparently doesn’t understand the difference between an asset and a debt explains a lot.

If you have to be less Māori to be in parliament, then parliament is a broken racist piece of shit.

And, having successfulyl adjourned its racist privileges debate, national is now passing a law which says bosses can dock your pay if you do only what your employment contract requires. Because we've all got to lick boots or be punished.

Fuck them.

ok sorry . my lawyer has advised me to say that drinking israeli diarrhea is good actually no matter how many kindergartners they murked

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Men will literally start a trade war with every other nation on earth instead of going to therapy.

This old tweet made the front page of reddit, or so I hear.

This. Crime and addiction numbers always rise with austerity.
Austerity only works for corporates who want to steal from already underpaid employees and the top 1%.
Austerity works, just not for voters. This govt serves donors, not us.

Not just "proactively threatening" but firing them, canceling their grants, rescinding their security clearances, and arresting, imprisoning, and threatening to deport them!

Us next please

We must stop this. Don’t look away—rise up for Palestine.

Our son said he wanted a normal food so we gave ourselves a collective eating disorder

Seymour’s office kicked the information upstairs to the prime minister’s office the day after he was briefed by officials, but no one informed Education Minister Erica Stanford or her office.

Seymour not informing the Education Minister of the impending Libelle collapse, but going to Luxon about it, really does speak to his rampant misogyny.

Broken system. Thinking about the alcohol-fuelled rampages in Dunedin this week on the anniversary of the student death at a St Pats Day party. One small example of the ongoing destruction and harm from the socially accepted booze, while cannabis is treated with lawfare and exaggerated moral panic.

Martin Niemoller: first they came for the socialists...

Dem consultants: our polls suggest we should also come for the socialists!!

Feeding kids at school is a start, but massively insufficient. We need to set up other systems so children are fed every day, not just the 190 days a year that schools are open.
Hungry children in a country that exports food is a shame for us as a society.

Just catching up on the news that some ADHD medications will be in short supply for the foreseeable future. Good luck to teachers, parents and also my long-suffering colleagues.🙏

How have we got to the point that it’s wildly lefty to think kids shouldn’t suffer through poverty. Ugh.

Never before have I seen so graphically what @bernardchickey.bsky.social means when he says Aotearoa is a housing market with a country attached to it.

This government doesn't have a clue when it comes to the issues of the primary health care nurses workforce. They axed a successful program for new grad PHC nurses with 15 years of success this past year to fund this "incentive" approach to pay employers without actual support for new grads

The cruelty is endless and deliberate #nzpol
