Zionists rail against Palestine teen being visible in our community, solidarity gathering follows, Zionist supporter attacks and stomps two Palestine allies. Shameful stuff.

School lunch 'savings': $100m Hyundai iRex break-fee: $550m Landlord tax deductions: $2.9bn Fast-tracked contracts for donors: Priceless #NZPol

"Evidence is overwhelming that incomes are inadequate for many people, both those receiving a benefit and those in low-paid work. Current levels of support fail to cover even basic costs for many people" - Whakamana Tāngata, the 2019 report of the Welfare Expert Advisory Group Just saying.

I grew up in a house where there wasn’t always “lunch” food and I went “home for lunch” so no one would know we didn’t have muesli bars or little bags of chips or fruit or sometimes not bread for marmite sandwiches. I don’t imagine the shame of that has changed in the last 40 years.

Richard Prebble was never going to be a good fit for the Waitangi Tribunal and kudos to him for recognising his limitations as a Tribunal member. He made a relatively quick decision to resign and I hope one or two others will now follow his example. www.nzherald.co.nz/business/why...

Bloody hell. A bloke who literally couldn’t keep his shirt on in meeting and made physical contact with staff and now an accountant that was censured by the Institute of Chartered Accountants. Did Levy just look for the shonkiest guys in town who would just do his bidding. #nzpol

From tax evasion businessdesk.co.nz/article/medi... to big oil connections tomcapital.com/index.php/in..., a far-right lobby group www.rnz.co.nz/news/electio..., &, unknown to most, dark funding of 2 leading disinfo/far-right 'newsfluencers', Grenon's a cancerous influence on information integrity.

Billionaires can’t exist Without POOR WORKERS. Billionaires are 3% of global pop. WORKERS create 97% of their profits. Wake up. 🤷‍♀️ #Life

And so it begins. A crucial change is occurring, & democracy as we've known it must evolve. Capitalist greed will be exposed as international tariffs roll out. Expect losses. Collective multipolarity using our own currency to trade is the future. Sanctions must die. www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/3...

Listening to yesterday’s Mediawatch, specifically the clip of Seymour saying China had awakened the ire of the NZ public I almost laughed out loud. Just casually on my commute home through a city that has over triple the population of our entire country

Other main takeaway is how nauseated hearing JuCo say she was a happy little pixie about defence spending made me. In light of her actions while science minister... yuck

Passive observance due to lack of understanding is not acceptable in this day of info overload. On anything! Use google or AI. No action is certainly complicity. e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-...

Nationals Ferry Break Fee: $300M Labour’s School Lunches: $323M Choices choices! #NZPol

If anyone wants to see it here's the "Marmite Sandwich" video: #nzpol #kiwi

Advice for our allegedly Christian PM. When Jesus said “Suffer the little children...” he really didn’t mean “Make the little children suffer” Just saying. #nzpol

The saddest thing about the 300m ferry loss is how many schools could have built proper kitchens, created cooking classes, built small gardens and learnt how to look after their own students lunches. Seymour fired Willis fired Luxon, ship him back to the RW MAGA head office in the US. #nzpol

We want to feed our kids! and well! & the added (mini) layer of a PM shoutout supporting A Sanitarium brand w their tax free & homophobic business model. #nzpol #kiwi

#NZpol SOCIETY: "Raise minimum wages, strengthen H&S for workers... help our kids eat?" PRICKS: "WHERE WILL IT STOP? There'll be no incentive to work harder! F'n SOFT!" SAME PRICKS: "Unavoidable layoffs this Quarter but that CEO *totally* deserved their $2M performance bonus". #NZsRichPrickPM

"Everyone must go"

There's an ongoing pattern of Luxon getting pissed at being continually challenged by media about *something* and snapping back a response in anger, today we got; "make a Marmite sandwich and put an apple in a bag." which shows his distain for kids, parents, the poor and the media all in one #NZPol

Israel has resumed its genocide in Gaza. But the Western media has overwhelmingly suppressed the truth. New post 👇 www.owenjones.news/p/israel-res...

Topline analysis of Brian Tamaki's 'sermons' last Sunday, & Monday. Already passed along to queer/rainbow networks. As with previous material please share freely, & use when writing to MPs, Police etc. Dangerous speech in sermons/comments continue to instigate hate, & harms. 1drv.ms/b/s!AraWbLoj...

"[Elon] Musk quote-tweeted “I agree” to a post from someone who wrote, “It’s time to leave NATO and the UN.” Martin Paasi, a member of the Finnish parliament, responded to Musk’s post, writing, “I don’t think anyone will trust the US government for the next few decades.” But Luxon…? #OhDearMe

Making Australia American: Australians ought to see the warning in the American catastrophe. Our businessmen have been working to remake Australia in the ultimately disastrous American model for decades. & a warning for #NZ too! #nzpol #auspol #Corporatefascism open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

The world’s five largest listed oil companies – BP, Shell, Chevron, ExxonMobil and TotalEnergies – have made profits of more than $380 billion since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the ensuing rise in energy bills, finds Global Witness. globalwitness.org/en/press-rel...

Entertaining article by Sir Ian Taylor about James Cameron, Movie Director, soon to be citizen of Aotearoa and David Seymour, Minister for Fuckwits, Representative of Atlas. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

This is the ~10% owner of NZME and here's a quick write up of his profile - linked to Centrist, ran attack ads against last govt, alternative right wing websites. mountaintui.substack.com/p/canadian-b...

Just a reminder that David Cumin, a director of the Israel Institute of NZ, was the other guy in the legal case against Auckland Council for deciding not to host two white supremacist speakers. Founding Free Speech Union member too. Interesting who gets free speech and who doesn't, isn't it?

Israel Institute of New Zealand paused a media campaign on safety and tolerance on public transport because it took issue with a young teen in the ad wearing a keffiyeh. Entitled much? I take offense and am disgusted at their support of genocide. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3606...

Finally NZ media covers this important story. "New Zealand failing to release the data is clearly the government protecting the commercial fishing industry above gathering scientific information about the impact of the encounter." #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

This is the modus operandi of the #AtlasNetwork 🙄 #nzpol #Aotearoa #ToitūTeTiriti #nz #OneTermGovernment

This is the type of financial investment that this coalition govt is encouraging. Peter Thiel, now this idiot. Next Luxon will be giving him a free NZ passport. #nzpol

Heartbreaking that children in Aotearoa are treated as collateral damage to decisions made by ill-informed politicians and their agencies. I'm fukn sick of it. They're today's taonga and tomorrow's assets. Investment in our collective futures is through the children. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z29B...

APPALLING does not begin to describe the absolutely vile pig shit that is being forced upon our precious Tamariki under this abomination of a coalition government. Healthy food for our children is not a nice to have, it’s non-negotiable! #nzpol #OneTermGovernment www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3605...

So, just how “independent” are our msm outlets really? 🤨 (snapshot taken from the amazing Gerard Otto on fb) #nzpol #FuckTheOligarchy #Aotearoa #nz

Speaking of false economies (see previous post), here's @garyseconomics.bsky.social again 👍 Part 4 of Gary's "Understand the Economy" (Pt 1. What is wealth? Pt 2. What is wealth inequality and how does it affect the economy? Pt 3. Why most economists don't look at wealth inequality, ref'd within)
