I have to admit, Luxo mystifies me. Like, Key was bad, but was also minimally competent as an administrator. Luxo's just bad at the actual mechanics of *doing a government*

Petition for men to stop enabling predatory behaviour in every sphere of life and start calling their mates out and for our justice system to stop being sympathetic to perpetrators and for media to stop writing articles just asking questions about women daring to raise their voice - in every sphere.

98% of us said an unequivocal no to the RSB, yet it has passed its 3rd reading today. This government do not serve Kiwis. They serve the lobbyists & overseas big businesses. F*** the lot of them! #nzpol

Err BUT...

❌️Potaka made it harder to access emergency housing

❌️Upston made it harder for teens to access Jobseeker

❌️Bishop cancelled thousands of planned social housing builds AND sold off existing social housing

❌️Chhour slashed OT investment into youth employment programs

I fucking knew it. I am ashamed of my country under this government #nzpol

Jeezus frickin’ Christ this government is so so awful.
But they’ve gone too far not recognising Palestine.
Time to hit the streets.

NZ Herald app screenshot with photo of Winston Peters in front of NZ flags. Headline says “Watch: Winston Peters says NZ ‘not ready’ to recognise Palestinian statehood”

Use “I” statements please Winston. The tens of thousands of NZers who marched, the thousands and thousands more who see this genocide for what it is and who know recognising Palestine is an important symbol of solidarity, your decision does not represent us.

NZ not yet recognising Palestinian state, Foreign Minister Winston Peters announces

We can never, ever, ever claim moral high ground as a State ever again. This is a stain that we will never be able to remove. I don't actually know if I believe in a soul, but if our country has one, it has been irreparably damaged.

One day a journo is gonna ask why it’s acceptable to raise taxes on EVERYONE except the top 1-2%. Not today tho. Probably not tomorrow either. But one day. I have hope.

He is SO entitled it does my head in. This expectation that we will all love him bc why? He's "wealthy and sorted"? Oh f*ck right off. He needs to get out of his wealthy privileged bubble and stop making swathes of legislation that actively harm the very people he's supposed to be serving.

Te Pāti Māori files urgent High Court proceeding over electoral roll concerns There are reports people have been removed from the electoral roll or shifted off the Māori electoral roll.

Māori are being stripped from the roll without knowing.

Te Pāti Māori has filed urgent High Court action to stop it.
This is voter suppression.
This is how they rig elections. We won’t let them. We won’t let them silence Aotearoa. #AoNZ

Hamilton - no

#BHN so has anyone asked if Judith will be voting to change the enrollment on Election Day laws?

As Attorney General she has said it breaches our Bill of Rights…Luxon says ‘who cares’ now as a National MP I assume she’ll vote it in.

This is real life people #nzpol

Hi, my lovely Otago pharmacy student is doing a menopause-related project about treatment of genitourinary symptoms. We are looking for women over 40 years and living in NZ. If you have a spare 15 minutes we would love your input! Info and survey via link: otago.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Denying working women equitable wages is, in fact, a very cunty thing to do.

The pay equity amendment legislation looks like, sounds like, and reads like a very anti-women, anti-feminist bill. It's very cunty and so are its architects and supporters.

#NZpol #CuntGate #PayEquity

“Other parts of the tax system”

You mean the other 90% of hardworking kiwis need to pay even more AGAIN to sustain the 10% and their penchant for insufferable GREED? #nzpol #Aotearoa #nz #FuckNo 🙄

'No way' of knowing Tim Jago was abuser - ACT Party The ACT Party says it took immediate action after learning its former president had been charged with sexual abuse.

'No way' of knowing Tim Jago was abuser - ACT Party. #bullshit

So maybe our media might want to discuss why ACT went so hard to help protect his identity prior to the election?

I recommend you go really hard on it, like you would if it was say, a young, brown woman in or out of politics

Minister overhauls Waitangi Tribunal membership Tama Potaka has appointed a political pundit to the Tribunal, as he replaces half of its members.

Same thing happened after at concert at Mt Smart last year. 56,000 people & lots trying to use the one that runs back to SH1 and it was closed for maintenance 🤦‍♀️

In Hamilton too. 😡

When I visit schools I get hugs and kisses and applause, and one time a little girl crocheted me an octopus.
Mind you, I've never stolen anyone's fucking lunch.

I travelled on Te Huia for the first time a couple of weeks ago to a meeting in central Akld. It was great! No traffic or parking to worry about. There seemed to be a lot of people using it too. Very enjoyable experience. WB 🙄

We make our beds everyday but when I get home this little mischief has gone around all the rooms unmaking the beds 😂

My youngest is 18 in a few weeks & so mad she misses out on voting this election!

Voted today across the road from school & encouraged our Yr 13 students to go too! Shared the link for policy.nz with them & reminded them 100% of over 70 yo are enrolled & only 66% of 18-24yo. Told them to rock up to their local polling booth even if they aren’t enrolled & vote for their future.

Loving these blossoms at school.

Yes, mostly. I like his style of writing (not all the content always though)

I’m about to start but recommended it to a random stranger in Paper Plus yesterday because I’m a librarian and can’t stop it 😂

I’m terrible at posting however, I just made this chocolate fish slice so that’s a good Kiwi place to start
