I mean, call me a weirdo, but I’m reasonably sure that most, like 99% of human beings born into this beautiful nation, actually WANT TO FIND WORK THAT SUPPORTS THEIR LIFESTYLE & THEIR CHILDREN’S FUTURE. Maybe I’m missing something, but I really don’t think so…

Convenient how they announce the despicable conduct of a top cop who should absolutely enjoy hard prison time for his disgusting actions, with the announcement of NZ gun safety authority being stripped from police oversight (by 8% ACT) & into the hands of Nicole McKee & her gun nut friends. #nzpol

You know how they want to “sell the silverware” because we are all living well beyond our means & apparently drowning in debt?

Presented with a massive side-eye to governments who can’t even equitably remunerate paid work, let alone unpaid labour.
Unpaid ‘women’s work’ is worth $427 billion, new research shows. See how much your unpaid labour is worth
New analysis reveals just how much “invisible” caring and housework is worth to the economy.

…And so the descent from middle class to poverty & poverty to slavery begins… 🙄 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #Neoliberalism
Housing in Aotearoa NZ has become an unnecessary game of chicken, and climate impacts are going to make it much much worse unless there is state intervention.
The houses most at risk will be the cheapest, and their owners the least likely to be able to afford to insure adequately/rebuild.

Over the next decade NZ will transition to a “personal responsibility” risk model when it comes to buying and protecting property, Simon Watts told a private insurance event.

Some of us are old enough to remember Jacinda Ardern stating that it wasn't her job to comment on the melt downs of other political parties when National was busy eating it's own face.

I felt the same when Labour when under a cloud and lost a flurry of MPs, when The Greens had their troubles with MPs and as I do now over Te Pāti Māori
I don't want to apportion any blame, it's not my position to do so but I just think it's a shame & it will take a long time to iron out

I hate to disagree, but I’m getting the vibe that this is exactly how capitalism/neoliberalism was DESIGNED to work. That’s why they astroturf so hard to make drag queens, transgender folk & diversity (culture wars) the cause of all your economic problems. 🤷♀️ #nzpol #AtlasNetwork #OneTermGovernment

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.
For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.
The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.

NZ Misery Index: GFC 2008 saw our collective misery spike & post COVID we wallowed for a while in the misery pool too, but we were getting our vibe back pre-election 2023. Look at it now under Luxon. FYI the line should be under 6% for a happy society. It’s 9% & climbing, no global shock. 🙄 #nzpol

"Universities teach us to ask questions without tidy answers. They train us to look for truths we didn’t know existed and to challenge assumptions we didn’t realise we held. At their best, they remind us that intellect isn’t about having opinions, it’s about earning them."
