ACT MP asks Parliament to limit use of ‘genocide’ when describing Gaza war Despite being in a party committed to freedom of speech, Simon Court asked Parliament’s Speaker to consider restricting the use of the word ‘genocide’ to describe what’s happening in Gaza.

The party of ‘free speech’ wants to limit speech. Just another normal day for ACT.

Excerpt from a Stuff article: https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360846565/luxon-blasts-greens-over-peters-protest-its-not-student-politics-real-life "The Prime Minister’s calling it a “cowardly act” for which there is “no excuse”, pointing the finger squarely at the Green Party for not condemning the protests outside Peters’ house in the lead-up to it. “It's not student politics. This is real life and there are real consequences for words and how that plays out,” he says."

So we should be ashamed for "student politics",

but we should all be "proud" to not stop a genocide?

ok prime minister...

After meeting Myanmar’s revolutionary groups and political prisoners, MPs say we must offer more than ‘nice words on paper’ and has urged the Govt to condemn upcoming “sham elections” being held by Myanmar’s military regime, saying NZ must not legitimise its efforts to claim an electoral mandate

Why is NZ First making it so easy for us to call out their hypocrisy?

The Defence Minister wants to see New Zealand develop lethal weapons for international export through the help of tech companies.

What the ever loving fuck are they doing to new zealand

Excerpt from the RNZ Article: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/574893/government-unveils-strategy-for-the-defence-industry " Politics defence force 8:04 pm today Government unveils strategy for the defence industry 8:04 pm today Share this Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share via email Share on Reddit Share on Linked In The Defence Minister wants to see New Zealand develop lethal weapons for international export through the help of tech companies. The new Defence Industry Strategy announced on Friday aims to boost local defence businesses and encourage tech companies to branch out into military technology. Judith Collins said this would allow Defence to partner with New Zealand's advanced technology sector, but also create technology that could be exported."

Nothing more stimulates "economic growth" than killing people.

But soon we could export things that can kill people!

Onboard Yulara is NZ Citizen Youssef Sammour, who is now abducted by the Israeli Occupation Forces against international law.

Three NZ Citizens have been abducted by Israel.

Deeply concerned about the safety of those on the flotilla.

We know the government will try ignore it - it's really important we all speak up and raise our voices.

This is a group of people delivering baby food to Gaza and the Government must intervene to ensure their safety.

More vessels - Dir yassine (Mali), Huga, and Spectre - have been intercepted by Israeli naval vessels.

Onboard Huga is NZ Citizen Rana Hamida, who has been abducted by the Israeli Occupation Forces against international law.

Why the silence MFAT? When is the "when" Winston?

Our government has already made it clear in recent email responses that they will not advocate for the release of the New Zealanders on board the flotilla This is unacceptable We need to apply pressure to ensure that they take every diplomatic action available New Zealand lives are on the line, and we must demand their immediate release, safe and unharmed

Also lets call BS on this being "independent foreign policy".

Is a FBI office in Wellington really more valuable than taking action against a genocide?

RNZ Headline saying "Kiwis 'can be proud' NZ isn't recognising Palestine yet - PM Christopher Luxon"

How unempatheic can someone be in telling everyone to be "proud" in doing nothing to stop a genocide?

#nzpol

Cool. So, the ambassador from a genocidal ethnostate praised him for his cowardice. Good work, Winston.
