Lots of people talking about rich getting richer & homelessness being criminalised (after number of policies increased numbers of homeless). Stop it! We need to go back to removing ‘kia ora’ from children books, attacking migrants & looking for penises under dresses. You know, real life stuff!

A “Good Government” would #Ban #Homeless by making sure they all had somewhere to live, & enough money to survive, & good job opportunities or the help they needed. It would #TaxTheRichest, to fund free public health, dentists, education, childcare & reduce inequality, poverty & crime #GreensBudget

Aotearoa, 2025, Indigenous people have to ASK for their language to be taught in school? This govt will ignite all sorts of racism & ‘culture wars’ to distract us all from theft of public good & their path to full alignment with far right authoritarian regimes #nzpol

Schools only legally obliged to teach te reo Māori if parents ask for it under law change
Some teacher and principal groups have reacted angrily to the government's sudden change which took them by surprise.

Netanyahu is an ICC fugitive accused of genocide, NZ meets Israel diplomats & cooperates militarily. Trump announces supporting Netanyahu in his domestic corruption trial, bombs & threatens to invade Venezuela & Nigeria, sends troops to US ‘blue’ cities… Luxon invites Trump to golf in NZ

I can’t stop thinking about Luxon’s reason for being against CGT: “Kiwis owning beachfront & rental properties will be taxed.” Ahm, I thought that was the point? Imagine min & living wage workers saying they’ll stop paying rent, as it eats their earnings? #nzpol

Talk about ideological extremism. We literally have a govt that puts shareholder profits above people’s lives, supports genocide over respect for international laws, imported culture wars over cost of living… They don’t care about public opinion.

1 night without electricity (Dunedin outage due to severe winds), & I was slightly annoyed. Can you imagine 2 years without electricity, water, food, & constant killing? (Gaza) Of course not. Nor should you. That’s why we object to genocide, not just empathy, but who’s next if allowed? #nzpol

Absolutely heartbreaking visit to NZ's temperate glaciers on Te Tai Poutini West Coast.

NZ's glaciers are in fast retreat due to Climate Change (see 2009 position drawn in).

when Luxon blames unions for “increase in nationwide industrial actions” (knowing unions are member-led & that thousands of workers voted to strike), what he is saying is: we need to legislate unions (freedom of association & right to collective bargaining) out of existence. Problem solved #nzpol
