The DG of Conservation now has the power to approve the killing of endangered species, if they get in the way of roads, mines, or other infrastructure “priorities.” It’s a law written by capitalism, passed by colonisers in suits, and signed with the blood of our disappearing species.

This is true for #nzpol as well We need to stop thinking that this behaviour of tanking ferries, throwing NZ money to billionaires & ciggy companies etc is because they're stupid. It's toxic & it's wrong. The plan IS to take away our social goods & we need to combat it with everything we have.

So we borrowed to pay for tax cuts and now we have to cut health, education etc to prove to the world that we can cover our debts. Really. #NZpol

When someone says "but they already paid out their settlement" point out these numbers. It's a disgrace that we give more money to landlords over this term than has been paid for all treaty claims so far. This land is Māori land and we haven't come close to righting the wrongs since 1840 #nzpol

I often think about trust and politicians. I'm small fry, local govt, and we still struggle with councillors who have made bad decisions or behaved poorly in the past and that legacy haunting anyone in office now. It's so hard to rebuild. So MPs who voted for pay equity, now voting to undo it

“ANZ & ASB are potentially facing big penalties for breaking disclosure laws that protect mortgage holders. Tens of thousands of NZers may be owed 1000s of $$. But instead of helping those people get what they’re owed, National is trying to rewrite the rules so the banks don’t have to pay. #nzpol

Riddle me this,riddle me that;When are cuts not called cuts? Answer:when they're done by National's nuts. The second worst thing about all this is that Ministers Reti & Doocey treat us like idiots,hoping their responses are credible,that we'll swallow their bullsh*t. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Something I want us to reeeeeeeeeally think about on the left in Aotearoa is how happily the right throw out legislation that had bipartisan support when it suits them. On climate, on equal pay, on housing. Maybe we don't need to moderate and minimise our best policies in pursuit of fake consensus.

This current coalition are seeking to absolutely shred the fabric of this countries foundation. Te Tiriti is what allows this kawanatanga to govern. Additionally, the Waitangi Tribunal should have a lot more power than it currently has. Fuck you Tama Kupapa. #nzpol #ToitūTeTiriti

The message to women is that if you're nice and polite and do things through the correct channels in very proper ways... We'll still fuck you over at a moment's notice because we fundamentally don't value you. So why the hell should anyone be nice and polite. #nzpol

Saying 'We are gonna make them wait'"

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

From my 3rd reading speech on the Dumping Pay Equity Act passed under urgency Wed. The “problem” with the law we passed in 2020 was that it was too successful at getting underpaid, mostly female professionals better pay.

In the spirit of being tough on crime they all need to be locked up, extended sentences, no parole. Fairs, fair after all. If a burglar robbed a bank they'd get all the above. #nzpol

So how the pay equities arrangement worked before Tuesday's urgency was like this. Pay equity is indeed quite complex, and straight simple industry comparisons weren't actually used because of such. What was instituted when a pay equity claim was lodged was a deep dive into what a role involved.

Judith Collins when the Labour tried to defer pay equity in 2017, “What we’re seeing today is that this new Labour-led government is happy to say to NZ women, ‘Go take another two years, honey. Go take another two years because you’re not going to be man enough to stand up for yourself.’ " 🤦‍♀️ #nzpol
