Worldwide mortality experience since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2024) shows excess deaths over that period in almost every country measured. Australia (+6%) was below average, and New Zealand (+0.1%) the lowest we measured.

I have to admit, Luxo mystifies me. Like, Key was bad, but was also minimally competent as an administrator. Luxo's just bad at the actual mechanics of *doing a government*

Petition for men to stop enabling predatory behaviour in every sphere of life and start calling their mates out and for our justice system to stop being sympathetic to perpetrators and for media to stop writing articles just asking questions about women daring to raise their voice - in every sphere.

98% of us said an unequivocal no to the RSB, yet it has passed its 3rd reading today. This government do not serve Kiwis. They serve the lobbyists & overseas big businesses. F*** the lot of them! #nzpol

Jeezus frickin’ Christ this government is so so awful.
But they’ve gone too far not recognising Palestine.
Time to hit the streets.

Use “I” statements please Winston. The tens of thousands of NZers who marched, the thousands and thousands more who see this genocide for what it is and who know recognising Palestine is an important symbol of solidarity, your decision does not represent us.

We can never, ever, ever claim moral high ground as a State ever again. This is a stain that we will never be able to remove. I don't actually know if I believe in a soul, but if our country has one, it has been irreparably damaged.

One day a journo is gonna ask why it’s acceptable to raise taxes on EVERYONE except the top 1-2%. Not today tho. Probably not tomorrow either. But one day. I have hope.
Someone is going to have to pay to keep the country's finances in order, says Treasury, and since it obviously can't be landlords or tobacco companies or the wealthy, we're afraid it's going to have to be you.

Denying working women equitable wages is, in fact, a very cunty thing to do.
The pay equity amendment legislation looks like, sounds like, and reads like a very anti-women, anti-feminist bill. It's very cunty and so are its architects and supporters.

'No way' of knowing Tim Jago was abuser - ACT Party. #bullshit
So maybe our media might want to discuss why ACT went so hard to help protect his identity prior to the election?
I recommend you go really hard on it, like you would if it was say, a young, brown woman in or out of politics

Voted today across the road from school & encouraged our Yr 13 students to go too! Shared the link for policy.nz with them & reminded them 100% of over 70 yo are enrolled & only 66% of 18-24yo. Told them to rock up to their local polling booth even if they aren’t enrolled & vote for their future.
