If the National Party are going to use Muppets* to depict the opposition, it's only fair they receive the same treatment. #nzpol

Fish are friends, look after our freshwater rivers, streams, and lakes <3 I designed these stickers for the Green Party here in NZ, and I just wanted to share them because they're my special little guys. I assume you'll be able to snag these from Greens events in the future!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

"I've done things you people wouldn't believe. Endorsing milk products exported to China. I led National to a crushing defeat at the 2020 election. All those moments will be forgotten in time, like second final warnings. Talofa!"
Let's remember Judith Collins for that time Danyl performed the Voight-Kampff test on her to prove it was actually her running her Twitter account.

We should be using our voices and we should not be looking away.
And the more of us that say things, the faster things change.
