If you were in any doubt that political parties are corrupt, look no further than the fact they *honour* the corruption of their opponents, hoping their own corruption will be similarly be not just overlooked, but celebrated. #auspol #voteindependent

May I suggest each one of us asks our local Federal MP this blunt question. 'Are you going to vote to sack the #Corruption Commission for failing to charge the Ministers of #Morrison Govt who created. #Robodebt for their crimes?' People died as result of their actions.

This is the result of choices. Just as Robertson knowingly tanked the economy by printing money, then Orr knowingly tanked it by imposing too much correction for too long, Willis is knowingly tanking it for a pretend surplus that isn't in 2029. And all face zero consequences - that's our role #nzpol

Paula and the folks @stuff.co.nz and especially the sources in this series are to be commended for standing up to the CCP and publishing the truth. We may think we're out of reach in the Antipodes. We're not. We may not face as much jeopardy as those in HK & Taiwan, but it's there. #nzpol

Aside from the pathetic, childish stupidity of having a badge made, the number is 69/420. (I guess there isn't a number for Ketamine). I'll bet this cockwomble and Big Balls sniggered like 11-year-old boys when they thought that up.

This (the message in the screenshot) should make every decent person very, very sad, and those responsible for shuffling back to the Dark Ages (while saying "but our pillorying has strictly limited application") very, very ashamed.

There's Clive, threatening us all with a good time again. But I need to know @greens.org.au - can the marijuana be swapped for wine? Could be a deal breaker, so answer carefully... I'm prepared to be reasonable. No more than a litre a day. #auspol

We also need to constantly address the ways that criminalization is used to render people disposable. Every response is "well I thought they would only do X to the criminals."
