Authenticity is a complex and vexed issue when it comes to #leadership. This short piece offers some useful insights as to why that is: #AuthenticJerks #uspol #nzpol #Trump #Musk #Putin theconversation.com/trump-putin-...

Please get in touch if you are being subject to "an attempt to intimidate" by Inflection Point NZ or others of that ilk, and need help. #AkinaTeMana #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

“Denying racism is really about blocking this real progress. It provides cover for racist attitudes and excuses unequal outcomes. It gaslights people who’ve experienced racism, and stands in the way of people who want to start the real work of moving beyond our colonial heritage” #nzpol

"With hate speech, death threats, threats of violence so explicit, some New Zealand homes, including families with children, have evacuation plans in place in case someone arrives to carry out those threats." Need help? Get in touch. #AkinaTeMana #nzpol www.1news.co.nz/2021/07/13/a...

If you have submission writing fatigue, you can add your name to Gun Control NZ's response to Minister McKee's efforts to erode gun safety laws here: www.guncontrol.nz/submission Submissions close 28 Feb. #nzpol

“According to the Living Wage Foundation, becoming a Living Wage Employer extends far beyond ethical and social considerations. It can help attract and retain talent and enhance business performance, proving to be a sound financial and operational decision.” #LivingWage #BetterBusiness

Yesterday morning, this petition had 230 votes after languishing for 9 months. This morning it has climbed to nearly 8,600 Keep the momentum. Political pressure can drive a change.

#nzpol #misogyny Great piece by @legallyfeminist.bsky.social. Tautoko this! theconversation.com/online-viole...

They should just write this into the law as the Himpathy Factor (Kate Manne, 2018) excessive sympathy for violent men with allegedly great potential as leaders. Looking at you Uffindell. #nzpol #patriarchy www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/rugby-pla...

Seeing what's happening in the US it's important to note how close it is to NZ: Luxon reps the nothing but profit faction; Seymour reps the alt-right faction; Peters reps the conspiracy faction; John Key would have voted for it; Peter Thiel would likely fund it; Our corporate media parrot it. #NZpol

#nzpol Good peeps, by my reading (not a lawyer) it seems like Peters & Jones are in breach of S 61 & 63 of the Human Rights Act with their disgusting comments re Green MPs Menendez-March & Hernandez. #GiveNothingToRacism 1/ S 61:

In all sincerity, the only reasonable response to this is to say Get Fucked to the banks & Jones for this shitty & reckless behavior. We're wasting breathe to think these people have regard for facts, all they're motivated by is profits or votes. #nzpol www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Proposd Bream Bay sand mining, per Fast Track legislation, risks significant environmental harms. Petition needing your support please, good peeps of #nzpol our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/co...

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway. And those who warned America about it were right.

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.

Yes, Simeon Brown getting health is outrageous. But when your aim is to create chaos & carnage in public health so as to drive up demand for private health, it's also completely logical. #nzpol

Christopher Luxon's Coalition Government is putting a less qualified anti-choice, anti-abortion MP to lead the health portfolio. An MP who *CELEBRATES* the fall of abortion rights and abortion access in the United States. This is wildly irresponsible. We deserve better. #abortion #nzpol #Luxon

🚨⚠️This appointment is even worse! We have absolutely NO confidence that MP Simeon Brown can set aside his personal religious beliefs about #abortion when it comes to funding decisions. #abortionrightsaotearoa #alranz #abortionishealthcare #AbortionRightsAreHumanRights #nzpol #Aotearoa #NZ

Janine Hayward and I have been living our best lives curating and co-editing a special issue for Political Science journal about #Ardern and the Sixth Labour Government. We are blown away by what we've learned, and are so excited to see the first articles in print!

If you’re doing your RSB submission today, avoid Seymour’s form like the plague. It’s full of leading questions & is just utter crap. #nzpol

Yes, lots to be worried about #nzpol BUT the mass engagement* with the democratic process we're currently seeing is inspiring as heck, innit!! *I know, there may be bot submissions inflating the numbers, but those real-life submission parties are for real!! www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

The RSB #NZpol people "one of the most regressive and dangerous bills ever considered" melanienelson.substack.com/p/interview-...

Help below for our next project peeps, the Regulatory Standards Bill, another wet dream from ACT. Note to self: be disciplined when discussing hellish experience of having had a leaky home **due to a neoliberal regulatory regime** otherwise the submission could turn into a book!! #nzpol

Can Wellington people who are able to print off submissions and deliver them to Parliament today say so on social media? Gives people blocked by last night’s portal-crash an option in case there’s no extension

If you've done your submission to the Treaty Principles Bill then you may nkw reward yourself with a glimpse of Sassy and her absolute sweetness 💖 ##nzpol

Just out, my analysis of issues related to #gender #norms & Jacinda #Ardern's #crisis #leadership response to the Chch terror attacks & Covid19. Abstract below. If you don't have library access I've got a code for the first 50 people that DM me. #nzpol DOI is: doi.org/10.1080/0032...

Jan 6th, time to reflect on the 2021 attempted insurrection. For analysis of its underlying psycho-social causes, to better understand the ongoing dangers Trump & his supporters pose to democratic norms & the rule of law, see my & Sarah Chace's analysis: #USPol doi.org/10.1177/1742...

A reminder to New Zealanders we have until midnight 7 January to defend Te Tiriti o Waitangi as a foundation of our constitution (also my husband tells me rugby changes the rules all the time but the point is we already have fair procedures to deal with disagreements about Treaty (or rugby!) #nzpol

While most on holiday, influential the far-right networks in New Zealand continue to arouse, & mobilise. This kind of activity flies under radar when most who study it, including in official domains, understandably enjoying the best of Summer with whānau, & friends. The far-right knows no such joy.

Fabulous submission by Prof Jane Kelsey on the Regulatory Standards Bill please take the time to read, share and make a submission on this devious sleazy excuse of a bill - use the words of others to inspire you if you are struggling ⬇️ #nzpol
