Trump installs jokers in to head departments knowing that they will fail and Musk/DOGE will take control. USAID is the first step in a fascist dictatorship. Tell me I'm wrong

3/ If there is doubt/disagreement about interpretation surely a conversation at the least is necessary. It may just give certainty for the next 100 years or until the language is once again archaic. As an impartial observer I can see it may be a useful undertaking.

2/ Over time language develops & therefore interpretation can vary dramatically. E.g. it was written in Hansard that Maori had ceded sovereignty to Britain & so the British understood that to mean they were rulers. The language is now archaic & people believe it to mean different things. cont on 3/

1/ I'm not an Act supporter/historian/politician but I'm interested as to why people don't want a discussion about the Treaty. As an impartial observer it's obvious that the Treaty was a document concocted by the British to take control and translated to achieve that. cont on 2/

Why do we tax pensions? We've paid tax on the money we have earned which contributes to our pension but then are taxed again when we want to benefit from those savings. Thats what they are - savings. Why is the govt taxing the state pension, it's bonkers & is just creating work to manage it. STUPID

I've watched the Select Committee presentations today, I may have a missed a few, but it seems that all the presenters bar a couple have been anti the bill. How are the presenters chosen? Any ideas?

@chrishipkins.bsky.social please read the room. We don't want National lite policies we want truly socialist values for NZ. We want investment in Hospitals, Schools, Police, FENZ, Ferries, rail freight and passenger rail, we want lite rail to the airport, we want a country that is fair to everybody

So Dickhead has given Captain No Boats the economic growth portfolio that he forgot was a part of Cabinet? He gave economic GROWTH to the twat who sunk how many millions into the cook straight last year? "Come, visit Aotearoa and get stranded at Picton!" 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️ #nzpol

If people at the Sun have admitted "unlawful activities" should they not now be subject to criminal prosecution?

Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde is a heroine of the USA. She had the guts to call out Trump to his face. Even as an agnostic myself I believe she did God's work in that pulpit. She should be Canonised - Saint Mariann

I’m working on updates the Capitol Riot Map—an interactive visualization of the more than 1,500 individuals connected to January 6th. I’ve spent more than 3-years and devoted hundreds of hours to this project, and there’s still more work to be done. Details on how to support this project below👇🏼

The failed Auckland Mayoral candidate Leo Molloy's misogynist campaign against a woman of colour, & former MP has been widely derided, & decried. Molloy's violence against women spans decades, & is a matter of public record www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/the-day-t... You'd think the matter would end there.

So just junked Facebook & Twitter, couldn't stand the shitposting, adverts, irrelevant crap any more. I have embraced this platform fully & this will be, along with instagram for now, the only places I will connect virtually with the world. Expect alot of NZ nerdy stuff & slightly left wing politics

Derek Cantona's petition had over 75,000 supporters but still the Charities commision refused to act. And to this day they have never replied to me or updated me on what they did. Shame on them 😔
