good job romania

The fact that she got away with this lie in the media speaks to their laziness and racism. The fact that she got away with this in committee speaks to the white supremacy and ongoing colonial nature of Parliament. #nzpol

"Why are they so scared of an economy that works for everyone?" @chloe.swarbrick 18 May 🟢 "91% of NZers will pay less income tax. They're not telling you about that tho are they? Only the top 3% will pay the wealth tax." 🟢 #NZGreenBudget 40yrs of Trickle Down ➡️'Rising Tide' ➡️only raised THEIR yachts

So I pay *checks notes* $1 more a week in income tax And in return I get fully funded health and education services? Fuck me where do I sign up for this shit?

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

Fuck Labour. @chrishipkins.bsky.social talked a big game with @bernardchickey.bsky.social but ultimately ran back into the middle of the road and Is patiently waiting for the next election to run him over. TPM and Greens are the only viable progressive parties left. #nzpol

Labour is right wing. Quit your addiction to them and vote green and or TPM instead thekaka.substack.com/p/bernards-s...

Stop voting for Labour! they are drifting rightwards and are on track to be not just nat-lite, but just another version of National. Vote Greens and TPM next election if you are actually wanting to see some progressive policy change. No reason to vote for these clowns when we have MMP

what the fuck is this

Share the last four games you’ve played and thus expose your gaming habits:

The Green Party budget proposes a *reduction* in income tax. More than 90% of income earners would pay less tax than currently. Everyone would benefit from massive increase in services like free primary health care, free public early childhood education, and so much more.

Most RACIST fucking Govt EVER.

IMO people who own and/or use private jets are rich fuckheads who don't give a shit about the environment. If you don't wanna pay a "private jet tax" then the solution is to take a regular plane like everyone else who travels by air.

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.

Our government are racist, petty cowards.

Greens probably will. Don't expect right wing labour to do anything of note

Greens announce humane polices Kiwis loose their collective shit in the replies on FB. When did the great unwashed start simping for the billionaires so damned hard? You can't help stupid, but you can make their lives better.

The Coalition's hysterical reaction to a Budget that is pretty middle of the road for a self-respecting and successful welfare state like most of Northwestern Europe shows it is hitting a nerve. #nzpol

This proposed budget would be exactly what this country needs, holy crap. Would especially love to have free dental care! 35,000 new public houses would be a godsend for the housing crisis also! I encourage anyone interested to read the pdf. Hoping for a Green wave next election 💚💚

Dipshits on reddit going "I earn nearly $120k, I shouldn't be taxed 45%!" ignoring that they wouldn't, since they don't earn 120k, and the 45% would only be on income over that threshold because we have a progressive taxation system.
