Truly insane to live in a world where being against the murder of thousands of babies is a controversial position for some. Weak immoral cowardly dogs

covid threw into high relief how many working class people are absolutely necessary to keeping society functional, and rather than that sparking a renewed commitment to an economy that rewards such workers, we've seen an elite backlash against even modest increases in their market power

From the party of 'free speech' comes the question 'can we imprison those who disagree with us'? Totally normal in an authoritarian state, so I guess that's where ACT wants to take us. #nzpol www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

Friends, is anyone a plumbing genius? I am trying to install my front-loading washing machine and there’s nowhere obvious to put the waste pipe. Is this thing (arrow) where it’s meant to go??

Luxon's leaving no room for doubt about his racist, anti-Māori credentials today. My feeling is that he personally espouses these opinions. But they must also think there are votes in it. #nzpol

Just the PM of Aotearoa New Zealand nodding agreement with Hoskins's comments about the so-called Maorification of New Zealand. And then assuring Hoskins that his government calls out the use of te reo when they see it and are getting rid of it in the public sector as quickly as they can #nzpol

Due to fiscal mismanagement and incompetency Willis and National must find billions to even attempt to balance the Budget. The Greens Budget which brings out tax rates in line with Australia (where everyone is fleeing to) balanced said budget www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Said with care, local government isn’t central government in miniature. It’s got its own rules, rhythms, and tikanga. If you’re a prospective mayor, best get familiar. X You’re not in Kansas now, Toto: it swings between consensus, conflict, collaboration, and consultation, daily; not command.

Andrew Little can disagree with Wellington City Council's Golden Mile project all he likes, but he's wrong in claiming there's something not "ethically correct" about the current council signing contracts for a project that they've consulted and voted on. localaotearoa.substack.com/p/andrew-lit...

I couldn't agree more: "You do have to marvel at a political class and media ecosystem that reacts more viscerally to a four-letter word than to the actual structural inequality " www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

Cuba St is packed with lines out the door of some restaurants. People want to be here because of its vibe, parklets and diversity. Courtenay Place can be the same but ONLY with the GM project proceeding. As it stands it will continue withering away. #nzpol

WOW! MUST READ PIECE. Devastating analysis here from Phil Smith. He pretty much implies the execrable J Collins is a vindictive racist. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

The #UKgov have mistakenly decided that performative cruelty and isolationism is what voters want: Diehard Reform voters definitely want that rhetoric - but they will never vote for Labour anyway. The truly sad outcome is that loyal and longtime Labour supporters are sickened by it all.

The Guardian editorial board finally admits that there is genocide happening in occupied Palestine. "Now it plans a Gaza without Palestinians. What is this, if not genocidal? When will the US and its allies act to stop the horror, if not now?"

"Quick maths" with 💚 NZ Greens co-leader, Chlöe Swarbrick on 11 May 2025. "The Government's gifts to landlords have been offset by record numbers of New Zealanders leaving the country… That's not a sustainable calculation." #nzpol @maramadavidson.bsky.social
