Think of everything that has happened since 1994: the Asian economic crisis, the dotcom bubble, 9/11, the global financial crisis and the covid pandemic.

The biggest economic crisis NZ has faced in all that time is the doctrinaire clownshow of Willis, Luxon, Seymour and Peters.

Look, @newsroom.co.nz I love ya, but you have got to do something about the floating banner on your site.

It's like I'm reading an article through a letterbox slot.

A few photos from the protest against Luxon at the rear entrance to the Art Gallery in Dunedin this morning. I'd say about 15-20 were there, although there were more people at the main entrance.

Right wing governments love nothing more than to plunder the commons and engage in short-term thinking. Especially when it comes to natural monopolies. This must be resisted.

EXC: Plans are underway for a coordinated strike across the public sector on October 23 featuring:
- Nurses
- Teachers
- Doctors
- and more

If the ballots go ahead it could well be the biggest coordinated strike in NZ history

Tidal wave of strike action planned for October 23
Plans are under way for a co-ordinated strike across much of the public sector, with nurses, teachers and other public sector workers potentially walking off the job on the same day.

@patbrittenden.bsky.social you may wish to update your YouTube spam filter. The comments section of the video from last night is riddled with bots shilling for something.

I'm heartbroken and deeply ashamed at our government's cowardly, disgraceful stance on Palestine. Bastardy bastards.

I've never been embarrassed to be a New Zealander. Until today. This government shames our country.

I'm informed the public sector unions suffering negotiation impasses with the government are currently balloting for a coordinated strike.
