Is Erica Sanford the NZ RFK of education?

We need to stop pretending Luxon is being walked over by Seymour and Peters and acknowledge that he's using them for cover to do exactly what he wants. And he should suffer the same (electoral) consequences as them.

Watching a documentary on the Grenfell Towers nightmare, currently on Netflix. There were numerous points of failure, but one particular outrage was the Cameron government’s policy of any new regulation being passed requiring the retirement of two others. Fucking braindead populist murderous BS.

Speaking of “BOTS”… 🙄🤦‍♀️ Humans are very complicated beings. Neurodiversity is FACT, not an anomaly to be erased. Everyone processes the world around them differently. Ffs, this is BASIC stuff Erica. 🤦‍♀️ #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #Aotearoa #nz

Tamaki leading a hate march, Seymour spotlighting academics for his fans to harass, Malpass repeating Israeli propaganda... we have a hell of a fight on our hands next year, folks.

THIS. It's not only gendered and racialized up the wazoo, but it's always cowardly AF too. Its no accident Seymour picks his targets carefully - officials who are constrained from clapping back, academics who don't have deep pockets (or institutional support) to sue. And on it goes. #nzpol

Make no mistake, there is a very clear double standard between men and women in politics and the way they’re treated by some media. We have deputy prime ministers and ministers getting off with little scrutiny for abhorrent behaviour. #nzpol www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3607... (paywall)

Just witnessed from a bus Destiny church people assault a man carrying a Palestinian flag on Queen St, Tāmaki Makaurau. Their march was hate filled and anti immigrant. Free Palestine! End the killing and the hate

Went to Bunnings with my sister to buy big bags of mulch for another sister, and two different men asked if we needed help as we lugged them onto the trolley. I guess we look old and frail rather than just old. We are actually quite strong.

Seeing people valiantly trying to make sense of some Brian Tamaki Destiny Church position. Fool's errand. Like looking for poetic metre in calculus equations would be. It's just not that kind of language.

No matter how he dresses up the words, Destiny held an Islamophobic march today and I'd like to see stronger condemnation for that. March 15 didn't happen in a vacuum. Destiny Church protesters set flags on fire in Auckland rally www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

This is exactly the level of hate our acting Prime Minister is inciting. It’s dangerous.

They ripped him apart from his pregnant wife in her last trimester. They stole from him the birth of his baby boy Dean, his graduation ceremony, his first Father's Day. They detained him illegally for 104 days. But today, Mahmoud Khalil is FINALLY FREE. 🤍✊🏼

Jacinda's success with taking a humane and science based approach was a threat to the types of people we see currently in power in the US and in this country. They were determined to bring her down and, with the widespread funding of misinformation on social and MSM, they were successful

David Seymour’s schtick works because he is not held accountable by anyone. Not Luxon. Not the media. Yeah he is interviewed here and there or whatever but there’s not true accountability. Absolutely no way a Green leader would get away with this level of nonsense. Not to mention he is dangerous.

while ACT NAT NZF respond to any criticism of their egregious policies with a rapidly rising stream of vicious invective, Chlöe Swarbrick eloquently responds to the drivel from Nicola Willis without saying a word #nzpol

I think Seymour is testing how far he can go with these outrageous statements and attacks on public servants and academics. My fear is there will be no pushback until it is too late #nzpol

Our acting Prime Minister. He continues to bully anyone who disagrees with the Bill, and to an extent putting them in danger. He is unfit to lead. Shame on him. Shame on this government. #nzpol

After sitting on this film for months, the BBC finally announce they won't broadcast it after its Director says Israel is committing war crimes and ethnic cleansing in Gaza (they are). BBC says this isn't impartial because "Israel has denied accusations of war crimes" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Here's a big-picture geopolitical thread on Israel's war on Iran - its possibilities, impossibilities, dynamics, and delusions. My goal is to give you a full big-picture view in one place, which is why this is a long thread. If you prefer drip-fed updates, skip this thread.

Analysis: The decisions reliant on population statistics in any five-year period could be worth 100 times the $400m five-yearly cost of the Census, writes former Government Statistician Len Cook.

Has there been any media coverage of the Deputy Prime Minister starting a campaign targeting academics, even though he knows full well that whenever he does that, they experience threats and harassment? Has there been any coverage of the DPM inviting an extremist to headline an upcoming event?
