Poor Āria. I read on Insta that she loved water and became known for her water-loving antics while recieving care from the team at Auckland Zoo (she had aspergillosis as a chick). Every single loss is devastating. Let's keep our fingers crossed for a big bump in 2026! 🤞💚🤞

Public service announcement FYI ... or, a random selection of numbers - just for fun ... BNZ = $795 million ANZ = $1.27 billion Westpac = $525 million (being their net profit after tax for 6 months to March).

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

These are the pay equity claims that the government wiped out in just two days to make its budget balance. It's appalling that tax breaks for tobacco companies are being funded by cutting women's pay rises and backpay. (Also listed in alt text)

I'm going to keep repeating this until the media actually picks up on it. David Seymour wrote a literal book on how much he dislikes democracy called "Birth of a Boom Saskatchewan's Dawning Golden Age" where a chapter is literally called "Democracy, too much of a good thing" #nzpol

Excerpts from Nicola Willis & Erica Stanford’s third reading speeches in FAVOUR of the landmark Equal Pay Amendment Bill. The government should be ashamed of this surprise attack on women under urgency in their fight for equal pay. Link to speeches here: www.parliament.nz/en/pb/hansar...

Imagine if men actually rallied against the govt for this. Imagine if men said ‘lay off the misogyny’. Imagine if men took the pay cut or went on strike for women’s rights.

Part of what really disturbs me about the sudden end of pay equity is the democratic implications - National did not say before the election that they would do this. It is now being passed under urgency, the same day as announcement, with no public input. NZers quite simply have not had a say.

Snap organising ka pai unions! This government just say the cruel things out loud. So we gather and unite against this attack on women and workers. Shame on Brooke van Veldon for undoing the work towards pay equity with URGENCY!

This is why retrospective laws are objectionable in principle. Law must be prospective so you can plan your life according to it. Which is what claimant groups, employers, and public servants have done for years. All in the bin in under 24 hours. Millions of dollars worth of work on all sides.

NO regulatory impact statement. NO Treaty analysis. NO Attorney General report. NO consulting the Minister of Justice. On a RETROSPECTIVELY active agreement. This is against the rule of law. Great outline in the committee stage by a furious @duncanwebbmp.bsky.social #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

National is going to make it legal to kill kiwi. I would laugh about this, but then they also just quicky gutted the pay equity laws, so, really, there isn't anything this government won't do.

She has been communicating with the NZ Initiative about curriculum changes. Personal emails are a way (she thought) of circumventing OIA requests. This is corruption.

I have a request for all of us in this archipelago to consider, not based on any particular post or poster. Could we please normalise adding "in English-medium education" if we make reference to Māori students and under-achievement? Why? Because excellence is normal in kaupapa Māori education 🫶🏾
