Remember it was Māori fighting for Te Tiriti o Waitangi to be honoured that New Zealand was spared the worst that Neoliberalism could do in the 80s-90s because a lot of the policies breached Te Tiriti. So some of the workers rights that are still around are because of Māori #nzpol

#PRESSRELEASE ⬇️⬇️ The first commercial shallow seabed mining operation in the world approved right here in Aotearoa. No transparency. No public input. No consent from tangata whenua. We need to make this a #OneTermGovt Because their legacy shouldn’t become ours. @whaeadeb.bsky.social #NZPol

This is my friend Lucy who is currently missing in Wellington. She is vulnerable, low on resources, and may be experiencing paranoia and disordered thinking so if you see her please be gentle and honest. Her mother is now nearby and can come to wherever. Please share.

On RNZ midday news, David Seymour said (quote): “I still believe a full open public inquiry in front of a Select Committee is the fastest way to get a detailed, effective bill with consensus across the political spectrum." Ummm... does this apply to the Pay Equity legislation??? #nzpol

I'm thinking that gender specific slang perpetuates misogyny? It's tough though when it's so satisfying to say and has a wonderful shock value.

Nice to see this artwork. Kollwitz was one of my favourite artists when I was younger. So dark, so much contrast, so strong. I'm going to look her up again!

my favorite thing about Steven Adams is that he is 6’11” and looks like this and is somehow not the most intimidating individual in his immediate family because his sister Valerie is a four time world champion shot putter
