Just re-read Nicky Hagers 'Dirty Politics' book from 10 years ago. Those tactics haven't gone away. #nzpol One of the key aims of negative politics is to stop people participating in politics. Exhaust us. Lower turnout is a strategy My take is to hang in there and do what I can. Tnanks Nicky.

Reading this crystallised something for me: the Deputy Prime Minister should be everybody’s Deputy PM – not just for those that support his position. Publicly attacking individuals when yr in opposition is one thing; when you’re the Deputy PM (however you got there) is disgusting. It’s Trumpism.

Submissions don't have to be long-winded and detailed, folks. Make your voice heard, shout out the people and organisations who are across the detail, keep showing up to tell this government of dickwads "NO".

As a minister and now as DPM Seymour is constantly and egregiously breaching the cabinet manual - but this seems to be meaningless as far as institutions and media are concerned. Zero consequences despite actively undermining the rules that are meant to protect democracy.

Dress it up in progressive language but you're cheating yourself by not doing the work. This is the worst thing about AI: millions of students refusing to learn, taking zero interest in the world around them, empty in mind and heart. Your punishment is the person you will become.

"When it came to Covid, we completely blew out what the value of a life was, completely, I've never seen such a high value on life" this quote should follow Van Velden to hell. she should be hounded out of public life for this alone. and that she continues to push policies of misery. 🤮

We must be able to talk about the concerns disabled people have over assisted dying policies, without immediately assuming they want to take the right away from other people We want the right to live with dignity. That’s all We don’t want to be fodder for a eugenics program disguised as compassion

There's a thread on AskReddit asking, "People who have had to drain their life’s savings on a single event, what happened?" 99% of the answers are depressing American stories about medical bills, 1% is an Australian who found a wombat burrowing under their house.

Aotearoa I’m having a hard time finding vinyl Pride stickers. I’m after a couple for the rear mudguard of my cargo e-bike. The ones I’ve seen are either not quite what I’m after, or not vinyl.
