Why we don't already have a Labour-TPM-Greens coalition in opposition to the current Government in NZ is just beyond me.

The population of Aotearoa is crying (some of us literally) out for sweeping changes to justice, poverty, health, social welfare, education, taxation and climate change.

These violent fuckers will lie and ultimately kill to perpetuate their greed and justify their bullying. They need to be bullied back. They do not respond to reason.

LOL Seattle 2013 backstage with the tech crew, I use those exact words and people fell off their chairs. It was a wonderful provocation

At what point does NZ realize it don't matter if we bite our tongues & hush our mouths & suck up real good to Trump. He's gonna Trump us anyway. We should call bullshit on Gaza, illegal detentions, offshore prisons etc. Why piss away any small-power cred we have when he does this stuff? #nzpol

Why has Luxon gone against security and police advice on US terrorist group The Proud Boys?

As we now know FBI is setting up a permanent security office in NZ, an unprecedented move, we should remember that last month PM Luxon went against police & national security advice to allow terrorist group Proud Boys to operate legally in NZ

I have trouble describing how powerless and angry it feels when our government just says fuck you to everybody that voted. Without doubt the malevolence of the USA is flooding into NZ. We make deals now with lawless fascist nations. FBI has no place in NZ, where is our sovereignty coward Nact.

USA’s Kash Patel, FBI Director, was at NZ parliament today, an unpublicised visit that the US Embassy refused to confirm. I think there’s some real filth afoot. NZ is being Maga’d. Act is the cooperating agent of right extremism. National complicit.

I use this software daily. It is just statistics, it has no mind, holds no knowledge. I use it only as an enhanced dictation tool. But I read and amend and then own every note written using it. Any use without a wetware (brain) filter demonstrates a complete misunderstanding of what the tool is.

The second school uffindell was expelled from is Saint Paul’s collegiate in Hamilton, the school where I endured bullying and sexual abuse about 45 years ago. Leopards don’t change their spots eh.

It’s about time Neo Libs got to learn that making profit is a privilege and certainly not a right. This is the Nact government giving the nation a huge middle finger. They are steeped in greed and cynicism.

454,000 people enrolled during the voting period last election. The press gallery needs to get over themselves and use their platform to represent them.

Parked near my house is an Israeli food vending caravan, the kind you see at market days. The irony gets louder every day.

Each time, the dictator pushes the loyalty test further. I’ve long said this regime will only fall if forced to fall. And that will be a showdown of loyalty to have military turn against citizens. ICE is the alternate gestapo, hence the obscenely huge new funding for ICE.

The previous NZ government, as a flatmate: "We bought the ingredients for this casserole and half prepared it for the next flatmate to pick it up"

Nicola Willis, as a flatmate: (tips casserole on floor) "The PREVIOUS flatmate made this mess! The PREVIOUS flatmate wasted money on these ingredients!"

Willis manages to be patronising and snarky, again, on form. For me she comes across as somebody ham-acting being a tough teacher. Ghastly

I’m deeply suspicious that this is a pocket lining pet project. We are a really small health population at around 5 million. This multiplication reeks of local ego. Two medical schools are plenty, we should just be putting more seats and staff in to the training expertise we already have.

I hope they hold back with policy, because the nacts will weaponise any information they get. There is distinctly no honour in what these right-wingers will stoop to. NZ is being Maga’d
