Average person. Outside the standard deviation, like everyone else! Not cool or witty, don't try to be, can't be arsed with people who do. #BHN #FreePalestine #HonourTeTiriti We are in an economic distribution crisis. Fairer tax. Save our Health System!

David Seymour has never liked democracy. Here is him interviewing Atlas Network's Tom G Palmer and asking “is it that we have a case for rejecting democracy here” He also wrote a book called “Birth of a Boom” with a chapter called “Democracy, too much of a good thing?” #nzpol

Hell hath no fury like a wāhine underpaid They’ve gutted the Equal Pay Act. Dismissed 33 live claims All to balance the books on the backs of women. One rule for the books, another for their mates If men were underpaid for years, we wouldn’t call it saving. We’d call it theft #NZPol #WarOnWāhine

You can’t make this up!! Big Alcohol blocked pregnancy warning labels for 20 years. Now they’re helping write the FASD plan Whānau live with the harm while lobbyists write the rules. This isn’t public health - it’s an industry free-for-all #WTFGovt #PublicHealthHijacked #NZPol #FASD #TePātiMāori

We’re much more lethal outside of the house…21 extra days to power up the movement to get rid of them #onetermgovt

This is absolutely true! If chippy won't stand up about this properly how can he possibly claim that he can look after all AoNZ'ders, if he can't show it in action - let alone at least show of some sort of opposition to this racist shit show! Brownlee of all people doing better on this one. #nzpol

He mucked around and will eventually find out! The charge was ONLY based on getting out of their seats but your party claim possible intimidation. No one in the chamber looked scared at all because this was natural and damn appropriate. Ignorant racist LIAR! #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Unfair punishment dished out to Te Pati Maori has been a clear example of harsher punishment for Maori vs non Maori. Te Pati Maori got punished for being Maori and doing something that was an appropriate expression in their own language, culture and communication. SHAME on the racist prunes #nzpol

We don't spend hours of our time on these things to be chucked in a sentiment analysis bucket by AI or dismissed for not being an academic. That is not democracy. Thousands of Regulatory Standards Bill submissions not read by ministry newsroom.co.nz/2025/05/19/t...

I spent so long filling out their questionnaire to add my two cents, this really pisses me off 🤬 This is not democracy in action. We need to put a stop to this foul man who continually shows a lack of care to the people he is meant to serve. #nzpol #ontermgovernment #BHN

This Bill is the Crown picking up the pen again not to sign a treaty, but to strike it out. Line by line. Clause by clause. Until nothing is left but David Seymour’s signature. No time to be polite. No time to be quiet. No time to be complacent. #Vote2026❤️🤍🖤 #ToitūTeTiriti #NZPol #OneTermGovt

#nzpol AoNZ Our Govt seems to be OK with Genocide. I AM NOT. What has happened in Palestine since the late 1800s onwards has never been ok. The 1948 Al Nakba has never ended and it just got worse and worse. We lose our humanity if this keeps being sanctioned by western Govts. #NationalNoHumanity

🚨 Hamas Says Steve Witkoff Personally Promised Gaza Blockade Would Be Lifted in Exchange for Edan Alexander The U.S. broke the deal, a senior Hamas official told me. “They threw it in the trash” and there has been “zero” progress on a Gaza ceasefire. www.dropsitenews.com/p/witkoff-ha...

It’s not exaggerating to say Witkoff’s decision to enable Israel to do as it pleases, assuming he stays that course, will lead to many thousands of preventable deaths in the coming weeks and far worse in the coming months. He had a chance to save lives & end the war & instead chose ongoing genocide

I'd never ever contemplate going into politics but the one upside of this repugnant government is the 'fire in the belly' passion that i hope and pray is instilled in the next generation who DAMN WELL WILL! #nzpol

This government keeps misusing urgency. #NZPol #OneTermGovt Require a vote in Parliament of 75% to approve the use of urgency petitions.parliament.nz/c9194f5c-e81...

This is so true. The entire ACT Party is an astroturf from Canada, David Seymour himself admits it here. He also points out that Atlas think tanks paid him to do politics #nzpol

An important read. Thanks #BryanBruce 🍃🌹🌿#nzpol #Democracy open.substack.com/pub/bryanbru...

"Over the past 24 hours, hospitals in the Gaza Strip received the bodies of at least 153 martyrs... Since the Israeli occupation army resumed its genocidal war... 3131 people have been killed... The new fatalities increased the death toll... to 53 272 martyrs." english.palinfo.com/news/2025/05...

16 May @ajplus.net posted 3hrs ago, 104k views on IG so far. Instagram is awash with posts of support for @tepaatimaori.bsky.social from within and outside Aotearoa. (West Papua whanau & Amnesty International to name but two). In 21 days, may ALL of Aotearoa haka to welcome TPM back ✊ #ToitūTeTiriti

If this doesn't make you feel their pain I don't know what will. I feel the irony that Maori having more power in parliament means Pakeha will be looked after more too along with Tangata Whenua. In awe of the strength of love. This brought me to tears. Thanks Tanya! @tangatatiriti.bsky.social

#nzpol this hit me hard!

kia ora from Aotearoa NZ, more fun than dunkin on racist ol' Daniel is listening to ♥️Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke♥️ sing with one of NZ's most successful artists, Stan Walker. The words Hana sings in the Māori language are the same she used to begin her haka in November ✊ www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpyF...

Very good explainer here of where we're at with this (prepare for Brownlee-inspired filibuster!) and why (obvious racism is obvious). One of those rare moments when the press gallery and Speaker feel really on point because this time, The Game is The Stakes.

In response to the RNZ piece: "Even the speaker is having second thoughts now he's seen how RACIST the outrageous recommended punishments are for our @tepaatimaori.bsky.social MPs & is allowing a full, extended debate of the issues on Tuesday including amendments..." @taniawaikatolawyer.bsky.social

Worth noting that we’re in the pathetic state of affairs that reporting like this only exists because the Office of the Clerk provides funding to RNZ for reporting on Parliament. Aside from the conflict of interest, ask who benefits from RNZ underfunding.

as outrageous as this is to us + the revelations in RNZ article today, i bet it's nowhere near the fury felt by the legal team for TPM who surely put <all of it> to Privileges Comm. for months. and tried repeatedly to arrange a meeting at which they could discuss. that's a fucking racist big deal.

People reacting to the She Matters mural in Hosier Lane, Melbourne. The mural contains the names & faces of 128 Australian women killed since Jan 1, 2024 This is the work of Sherele Moody of #FemicideWatch Donate: australianfemicidewatch.org/support/ Shop: australianfemicidewatch.org/shop-2/

💣 Recommendation of "immediate halt" to advancement of the Regulatory Standards Bill #ToitūTeTiriti ❤️🤍🖤 ✊ Waitangi Tribunal Report released at 5pm, 16 May 2025 🙏 Download here: forms.justice.govt.nz/search/Docum...

Excellent, & a vital read for Tues 20th. "There was surprise & shock over the recommended punishments for Te Pāti Māori MPs, which seemed both unprecedented & extreme. In retrospect... The committee report now appears partisan, indefensible & open to attacks of racism." www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

TPM given the most severe punishment in NZ Parliamentary history for a haka I loved. NOTE: Even if next week’s debate lessens the penalty, this punishment has been timed to ice Te Pāti Māori leaders out of Budget 2025, and the introduction of the anti Treaty Regulatory Standards Bill. #nzpol

This is an excellent contextual unpicking of the Privileges Committee report + recommendations for sanction of TPM's MPs. Journalism like this is essential and we are lucky to have RNZ (+ Phil Smith) to provide it to us.

Melissa Ansell-Bridges has published a useful piece examining the pay equity changes in detail and explaining how they are not small policy changes but rather a structural demolition of pay equity law that will lock in pay discrimination for years to come. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3606...

#nzpol At 5pm yesterday, the Treasury informed the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions Te Kauae Kaimahi (NZCTU) it has been barred from attending the Budget lock-up on 22 May. This is the first time the CTU has been prevented from attending a Budget lock-up in living memory

Hell yes Tui! Furious here. Will Seymour be the next Winston and Brown be the next Seymour... I don't know yet. There is no polishing these turds though! #nzpol
