the way that nz media feels comfortable stalking and reporting on prominent women in this country is actually fucking disgusting
its both a reason AND a symptom of the way powerful people in NZ routinely escape consequences for abuse and misogyny. NZ media need a clean out

AoNZ has imported Russian Oil! So much for our sanctions in protest of the invasion of Ukraine. NZ$70M to Russia from AoNZ. Another reason to drive an EV. Also - close ALL ‘loopholes that enable this BS. Sanction Russia effectively.

Are we supposed to believe that police or anyone else could order ministerial staff to divert emails or do anything else without the minister approving it?

Yeah, no surprise. They use the same bullshit tactics when pushing back on changes to our progressive tax system. They apply any proposed rate increase to the entire income, and not just the tier where it kicks in.
The problem is that voters fall for it, and media hardly ever corrects them. #nzpol

The Nats are really quick to go on about the CGT affecting poor old Mum and Dad kiwis that have a bach or a rental, but stop before the bit where it only affects them IF THEY SELL AT A PROFIT.
And that it's only the profit taxed. Not the entire sale amount.

At this point, the New Zealand government is just a road-building authority with bits tacked on. And not even a very good one.

As we watch the growing resistance to Danielle Smith's MAGA agenda in Alberta let's remember the powerful roots of true prairie populism. We have national health care because that generation stood up for a better vision of Canada.

If an incumbent councillor running in 2025 claims they support Māori wards please check receipts - there was a councillor vote on Māori wards in 2023. 11 voted against, & most are seeking your vote again - Fletcher, Lee, K Turner, Williamson, Baker, Newman, Walker, Watson: all said no.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.
He said this out loud.

If you live in the Ōrākei Local ward, consider voting for Wyllis Maihi. Can confirm, he’s an all round good guy.

Here's my message to MAGA ambassador Pete Hoekstra.
He gaslights our nation, blames Canadians for being mean to the US. He accuses of us being anti-American.
He says we are mean and nasty and doesn't like us saying Elbows Up.
Too bad Pete. We are proud anti-fascists

Invisible even to Aotearoa & Australia, immediate neighbours. Freedom for #WestPapua
A reminder that the brutal occupation of #WestPapua and the ongoing persecution of Indigenous Papuans is a horror that is largely undocumented & invisibilised. Like so much black suffering, furthest away in proximity to Whiteness, their revolution has NOT been televised.
