Just so ignorant. Trying to make a distinction between the UN definition - set in the Genocide Convention- and common usage. The word and its definition exist thanks to the convention. An arrogant fool.

Ignorant of the voting system. No splitting of the vote occurs under STV. You were voted in on a popular mandate. Sure it would have nice to have a higher turnout but that would almost certainly have benefited you.

Hosking and his wife, sorry forget her name, were obsessed with Meghan Markle. It felt personal. Like they were affronted by this black woman becoming a princess. Same thing at work here I suspect.

This feels big. How did @livingwageaotearoa.bsky.social apply pressure?

Do you really think Labour would have stopped it? Or are you saying he keeps both National and Labour in power?

Some quotes from New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon:

• “The world doesn’t owe you a living”
• “I'm wealthy, I'm ‒ you know ‒ sorted.”
• “just make a marmite sandwich”
• “I don’t care.” (said multiple times since becoming PM)

Guy is a stone cold psycho.

RNZ does regularly run pieces from the Conversation. Possibly the best way to get an op ed from one of the 20 economists is for one of academics in the group to write one. (Bertram or St John would be great.)

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Peters says New Zealand's partners are divided on the issue. Other than the US which of our partners haven't either recognised Palestine or said they will? Do we call Germany a partner?

Are the other 20% because of younger men, like Obama and Blair, who are hungry for power and significance?

Does any sovereign country not have a bespoke legal system? Isn't that pretty much the definition of sovereignty?

Does any sovereign country not have a bespoke legal system? Isn't that close to a definition of sovereignty ?

The type of friend that when he sees one of his friends kicking another "friend" to death says: "I'll give a gold coin donation towards your funeral."

We have moral amoebas for leaders.

We all have a "right of return" denied to Palestinians ethnically-cleansed in 1948 and beyond. So If I figure I have no choice really but to say not in my name.

I hesitated before signing this. I'm not religious and only Jewish on my mum's side. But that's more than enough for Israel to claim it represents not just me but my children as well. jewsdemandaction.org jewsdemandaction.org

Instead our foreign minister - lauded by many in the media - has told the families of two brave souls on the Sumud flotilla that New Zealand will offer zero support.

Italy condemns 'attack' on Gaza aid flotilla and deploys frigate Italy's defence minister directs a navy vessel to assist the flotilla's boats after what he says was a drone attack by unidentified perpetrators off Crete.

New Zealand sent a frigate to enforce sanctions against Iraq that killed one million people, 500,000 children under five. We should have one in the Mediterranean now.

"When you see that nature represents some value, like gold, you start to pay more attention to the environment you live in." resources minister Shane Jones. It's a line any good satirist would be proud of and it explains a lot.

Their grand kids will live in shame.

Proud of this kaupapa. Iwi and unions uniting for the first time is a historic moment and gives me hope for the future.

A true Kiwi hero being ignored by our media. Meanwhile, the government has washed its hands of any responsibility for its citizens taking part in an heroic attempt to break Israel's starvation of the people of Gaza. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7esj...

"When you see that nature represents some value, like gold, you start to pay more attention to the environment you live in." God help us that's a direct quote from resources minister Shane Jones. www.thepress.co.nz/politics/360...

The state’s monopoly on violence is so taken for granted that in all the thousands of words I’ve read condemning the killing of Charlie Kirk none have mentioned the more than 20,000 victims of the US’s drone assassination campaign.

Europe is channelling its inner Chamberlain, Sanchez is honouring the memory of the International Brigades. The US had a term for it in the 1930s "premature anti-fascism."

This act shows a complete contempt for international law. But then so does the US's extrajudicial killing of alleged drug traffickers last week and its drone assassination campaign under successive presidents going back to Bush senior that has killed an estimated 20,000 people.

Hooton and Prebble's economic guru.

Is the entrance way for the rich an eye in a needle? Seems the door is wide open for rapists and murderers (his latest victims the "narco-terrorist" summarily executed in international waters.)

Wellington New Plymouth, Auckland to Whangarei and Tauranga, Picton to Dunedin etc. So many low hanging climate friendly and truck removing, life-saving fruit. Public investment in public goods for the win.
