I made a video on exactly how the opposition can win, based on strategies from Labour's own 2017 messaging strategist Anat Shenker-Osorio that helped Jacinda win in under 6 weeks. If she doesn't know how to win an election no one does. youtu.be/4UHUg7u8Dtg?...

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US.

Ok after an afternoon of results, texts, calls, messages on other apps and emails, I have some thoughts on today’s Local Election results

1) Voter turnout is depressing. 32%ish on average across AoNZ is pathetic.
2) The Māori Wards referendum should never have happened - it was a racebaiting farce…

The Olive green areas are councils where citizens voted down Māori wards (the little blue blob in the middle is Kirikiriroa, which voted by a whisker to retain theirs).
Coincidentally those Olive green areas also pretty accurately represent land confiscated by the crown after the Waikato wars.

Everything that makes Aotearoa New Zealand unique is related to Māori culture. Welcome to the country, that's a pōwhiri. We are gonna thrash you at sport, that's a haka. Traditional meals, that's a hāngī. Matariki that's our New Year

If you don't like Māori stuff maybe you're in the wrong country?

I’m enjoying the retaking of frogs. I always felt incredibly sad for the original illustrator of pepe who had his creation stolen and exploited

Regulatory Standards Bill: Select Committee Report: 166,000 submission total 0.7% supported 0.6% unclear 98.7% opposed AUTHORISED BY DUNCAN WEBB MP, PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS WELLINGTON

The select committee report on the Regulatory Standards Bill is in.
📝166,000 submissions.
❌98.7% opposed.
Yet National are going to continue supporting it.
🗣New Zealand could not have been louder, but Luxon still isn’t listening.

They wont confirm costs because its "commercial (politically) sensitive.
Mark my words we are paying more, for less lifespan and less capability. This shower of clowns want you to believe that new zealanders dont deserve nice things while they firehose public money to private pockets

Temu ferries.
Un fucking believable.

Happy 100th Birthday Margaret Thatcher.

This week’s “masterstroke” from the far right: plaster the country in St George’s crosses. Because nothing says serious politics like flag shaggers thinking hanging a bit of nylon off a lamppost will solve housing, NHS, or wages. Cosplay patriotism at its finest.

In a small town in County Cork, Ireland, a monument stands in appreciation to the American Choctaw Indian Tribe.
Although impoverished, shortly after being forced to walk the Trail of Tears, the tribe somehow gathered $170 to send to Ireland for famine relief in 1847 [Historic Vids]

Good to know. Personally I'm horrified by the FBI being here in NZ as well as the secret visit from Kash Patel. Particularly with SpaceLab now being US owned.

Interestingly, there's no "foreign police force" exemption to the Foreign Interference Bill, so if the FBI (a foreign power) spies on or lies to people so as to interfere with their human rights or compromise their safety, its a crime www.legislation.govt.nz/bill/governm...
