I've been so honoured to learn about te ao Māori from so many wonderful people. I am a wiser, better person for being open to listening. I'm glad to be..... I'm not going to use that word. Anyone who can't see benefits of us being a beautiful bicultural nation is a plonker.

I am sick and fucking tired of the Luxification of this country, we don't even like him! We never did. Time to focus on booting those fuckers out in 2026 #NZPol

16 May 1943 | A transport of some 4,500 Greek Jews deported from the ghetto in Thessaloniki arrived at Auschwitz. After arrival selection 466 men & 211 women were registered in the camp. The remaining group – probably 3,823 people, were murdered in gas chambers.

You’re reborn as a cartoon character. Who are you?

"I have to write some letters first" - the final lines uttered by Richard Todd in THE DAM BUSTERS (1955), released #OTD 70 years ago. Emotive, because it shows the reality Guy Gibson faced and because writing to families bereaved by war was a task Todd knew too... 🧵 1/5 #WW2

Remember during Covid when all those “unskilled” jobs were actually the ones deemed essential. While many with “important” jobs sat around baking bread. Many of those essential roles are the ones being impacted by pay equity shafting. Praised then, scoffed at now. Shame on this Government.

Guess which idiot cleaned the hob, accidentally turned the gas on and didn't notice for over an hour?

So much this.

A month ago I was having the best time ever in the UK and now my heart is breaking and I'm finally admitting how sick I am.

🍃🌹🌿 Sign the petition: Protect Pay Equity #PayEquity #nzpol www.together.org.nz/fbt_for_pay_...

ICYMI. The pay equity changes are absolutely a trial run to see how far they can push on women’s rights. It’s incredibly important not to obey in advance.

There is a protest outside van Velden's office located at Meadowbank shopping centre cnr St John's Road and Gerard Way on Friday at 1pm. I will be there. Plenty of parking and the 75 bus service stops very nearby. #nzpol

Strange how a targeted campaign against one woman can stay on the front pages for weeks on end but a targeted campaign impacting all women barely makes the news for a day and then fades away from all the mainstream sites. A mystery. 🤔

Women's liberation poster demanding equal pay for women. Refers to a strike at the Trico factory in 1976. UK. Ref E.649-2004, V & A Museum.

If everyone could please repost this and share it on ur social media please…. Until we figure out how to link it from our website main page… This is absolutely everything the women need right now - furniture etc… aunties.co.nz/pages/wants-...

The good people behind the flu tracker study are searching for new participants, particularly young ones. It takes about two minutes once a week to tell them whether you've had the snuffles or COVID or anything in between. Easy as, plus you're helping SCIENCE. www.flutracking.net/Join/NZ/inv2...

Beating myself up cos I've put weight on and my HBAC has gone up.

the National-led Government is gutting the Equal Pay Act. Their changes will reverse decades of progress to balance pay for women and people of all genders working jobs that have been undervalued due to sexism. SIGN THE PETITION TO PROTECT PAY EQUITY NOW ➡️ www.together.org.nz/fbt_for_pay_... 🟣🟣🟣

NZCTU have a petition I think we should sign www.together.org.nz/fbt_for_pay_...

Waiting to get a “call” in the House so I can go into battle for the library assistants whose pay equity claim is being unilaterally struck out by the National-led government.

I think we in AoNZ may be about to see what happens when women get really really angry. Taking money from the women we rely on to make this country work is perhaps not the best way to pay for this corrupt National led government’s incompetence and handouts to their rich mates. #nzpol

Hey if cancelling pay equity settlements is about saving money, why don’t we just pay men and white people less and equalise that way

Why isn't Human Rights Commissioner Stephen Rainbow being hounded out of the job by every single media outlet? Surely what he said and then LIED about should preclude him from any roles like this more or less forever??

This morning‘s breather, before we are absorbed in the news. #otters #animals #nature

I'm confused, was Bob Jones a sex pest or am I confusing him with another old white man?

This petition to stop NZ First's stupid sex definitions bill has been open for nearly a week and has 1.2k signatures The hate group's petition that spawned this bill took four months to get 2.2k signatures Let's show just how little hate there is petitions.parliament.nz/cc70b2c2-cfd...
