Thanks Blue Sky, I now understand I am a left leaning political tragic, who routinely leaves out key joining words when posting. Then discovers said error when someone likes the post (aka dyslexia)🤦🏻‍♀️. Ngāi Tahu.

Suppose it were a woman MP who was caught on camera, maggoted and ranting at an event. She'd be gearing up for a fortnight-long news cycle in which she'd be forced to admit having an unhealthy relationship with alcohol, encouraged to divulge personal information, and made to apologise repeatedly.

“Politicians are disconnected from the people they represent” - not true, they represent the businesses and individuals who give them money #nzpol

Amazing how fast Kogan torpedoed this company that was pretty much Amazon NZ.

The Green budget has great stuff in it and it frustrates me no end that they get treated like "tree-hugging weirdos" while National, who were told that their landlord tax cuts didn't add up before the election, get to throw women under the bus and still are somehow "safe hands" for the economy.

#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

OF COURSE it's two wealthy privileged white ladies (Anna Mowbray, Cecilia Robinson) driving the B416 social media ban campaign for kids. Much simpler and easier than funding the desperately needed youth mental health care, mental health nurses, psychologists, psychiatrists etc desperately needed.

I frequently don’t agree with Ms Vance’s stance on things, on this one I do. The question is will those who usually agree with her agree here. I hope so. I also hope the level of fierce feedback these past days has surprised these arrogant out of touch #NZpol politicians.

So the right needs a crisis to exploit. You need an austerity crisis…… Right on target Brooke Van Velden, Nicola Willis and Nicola Grigg. All doing Seymour and Luxons hideous bidding. We must stand up to this cray cray.

Yesterday the government legislated the killing of kiwi and scrapped pay equity… Today they have failed survivors of abuse in state and faith-based care and announced a review of the Waitangi Tribunal w/ a view to limit its scope. Nothing and no one is safe.

So at the beginning of this disaster of a government they handed out tax cuts to those who didn’t need them. Now 18 months later we are being told we are living beyond our means and it’s women who have to pay for the folly of said tax cuts. I am sure others have resigned for lesser shambles.

God this just makes me so angry. This kind of stuff should not be done in the dark with no transparency, expert advice or public consutation. They should be ashamed and haunted by this for the rest of their days.

How can Nicola Grigg honestly believe the betrayal of women so she can stay wealthy in her Cantabrian paradise is good for women? It’s an absolute disgrace and outrage! Has Miss Mt Somers ever done a moment of work as a caregiver in an underfunded, under resourced lower income areas facility?

The number of people who have to be put under duress to sell their labor at a discounted rate to capitalists, so that just one individual wealthy person can live in luxury, is probably unsettling. What number would be high enough to force you to act? 10? 100? 1000? #nzpol
