Can everyone who insists on using ‘cunt’ to swear, please be aware you are committing a sexist crime against women. That word =our very private parts. How about you invent a really nasty male genitalia word as an insult instead. I’m sick of having yet more of womanhood being vilified. Stop!

Nicola Willis bemoans 'glass half empty' view of unemployment figures
I’m sure, #nzpol readers, that she’s got to be kidding. How is this a positive thing? Being unemployed is no joke, especially with how people are treated

Luxon says they want to encourage “high paying jobs here”. Meanwhile, they’ve skewered many NZ women from receiving pay they deserve when compared with comparable occupations men have. Forked tongue again?

What movies and books will students be studying under the proposed English curriculum?
And so it happens. We are now looking down the barrel of set texts -mostly decided by a small group- of what matters = teaching to the text, not teaching for the needs of those in front of teachers.
