Man, Chch, vibier each time i visit. Such a lovely city to walk around on a beautiful sunny day

NZ gets Juiced

Never ending context example that

Someone potentially breaks a window and is facing the system. Good-o. A politician purposely undermined a vaccine rollout aimed at certain communities; one of which he joked about a ministry representing them being blown up, and is still in the job.

Ceasefire is a great step. But while settlements and land grabs continue, state terror and murder of Palestinians, denial of rangatiratanga on their land, then it’s one step in an ongoing battle against the colonial project and state imposed terrorism.

June 67 borders or bust

There’s a consistency from when MPs were unable, with zero fucks given, to say where those kicked out of homing and the likes went, to hiding away 4000+ youth from the system cause you can’t lower the number in any meaningful way.

Cruelty.

Calling people attack dogs is not at attempt to deescalate and maintain civility, it's a attempt to escalate to distract from a failing economy. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

The coordination between NZF and Nats over this is impressive, laying it squarely at the feet of the Greens, Willis using the term "dogs" as always, telling.

But, some idiot provided a bloody good screen to help them hide away from being cowards in the face of a genocide.

The DJ needs to pull this 12” Disco Extended Version of winter off the fucking turntable

A small wrinkle in the Jobseeker policy The government’s recent changes to benefits feel like this: the house is on fire, and this policy is them turning off the smoke alarm and saying it’s fixed

#nzpol Sometimes a policy is so stupid it makes you question the very fabric of reality. Decisions so fabulously, almost wantonly dumb, you wonder if we actually live in a simulation. Welcome to the world of removing Jobseeker Support for 18 & 19-year-olds. craigrenney.substack.com/p/a-small-wr...

It’s only kidnapping and being held hostage when Hamas do it according to media.

Jesus christ, they gonna wring every bit out of the window story but gloss over the real cowardice of ignoring Palestinian independence. Get fucked.

Attacking ships in international waters, kidnapping them then releasing these hostages is an out of it deportation system aye….

“Connected to work” is a fucking hollow, meaningless statement. Poster shit from a poster govt

Coomra

This man’s thinking is simply not nuanced enough to do this job.

#nzpol The government has announced that 18/19 year olds, who live in a household where the parents earn $65,529 or more, can't claim jobseekers support. If both parents work 27 hours on the minimum wage - $634 a week - they will be expected to now financially support their adult offspring. A 🧵

$65k is a fucking heartless threshold

Goddamn, Space Cadet by CARRTOONS is sublime

I'm so hung up on Christopher Luxon saying "oh well the government has advised people not to go to Gaza for many years" as though Rana, Youssef and Samuel were on an ill-advised ski trip and not, you know, deliberately engaged in humanitarian efforts to deliver aid to victims of genocide

Deported Gaza flotilla activists claim they were 'treated like animals' "They put us on our knees, facing down. And if we moved, they hit us. They were laughing at us, insulting us and hitting us," an Italian regional councillor says.

A terrorist state. And if you a country doing shit all (kia ora), then guess what you’re enabling. www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/5...

We’re governed by cowards, but at least we got the fbi office in our country

Front row still there at 60 mins a good thing to see

Bloody stunning start to the Tami tour in Wellie. What a crowd, oooosh. And got to meet and gush over Emily Writes so a beaut night all round

Unfortunately NZ’s govt would rather sit on the genocide fence when no fence sitting should be happening in a genocide.

Cowards.

Luxon’s office admits leaking Hipkins letter to Herald In the latest instalment of ‘lettergate’, the Prime Minister’s office has confirmed it sent “one media company” the same letter it sent Hipkins requesting a “credible, bipartisan approach” to offshore...

Not enough LOLs in the world that could do justice to this ineptitude www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...
