Reading through the article, the authors themselves seem to have a bias against JT and the TPM co-leaders so it is no wonder they used those words. Nevermind that, like you said, it is a minor party NOT in power. Ugh.

Our, as in NZ, current right wing prime Minister didn't renew that. So, they're no longer considered terrorist organizations here. It's fucked.

Fuck I hate this timeline

If the last two years have showed us anything, it is that this government and media will push narratives about how it is needed and actually good for the country, and the middle seem to lap it up considering the government support still hasn't dropped significantly. After everything they've done.

Also the books are shit. They are bleeding money, and they need EVEN MORE to fill the hole. Their solution will be cutbacks to govt departments, and other horrific shit. That will create more unemployment, less spending, and more bitterness. They will need extra money for election lollies too.

I never thought I'd be someone who would say this, but Hipkins comments and behavior has turned me off entirely for voting for Labour next year. Greens and TPM, depending on where they are come election, are the only choices for me.

It is so fucking stupid to waste the time, energy, and resources to fight for Māori seats. But it's not surprising. After all, the MP who was in charge of the campaign to get Henare into TM ran off to nzherald and kept using the term 'maoris' because TPM wanted to speak te reo to the press.

Obvs the problem is that having the majority of schools tell them where to go is embarrassing for them

Wait so this is normal?!?!?! I thought my GP was being an ass when he refused to mask, and asked me to remove mine! Fuck. I didn't think it was widespread cause, you know, they're fucking medical professionals.

I would argue that view the Greens with the same disdain too. Despite the Greens polling well. Instead Labour would pair itself with the racist bigots.

Webb is always one of the exceptions I find. I'm so upset that he's retiring from politics.

This is when I bring up the ACC change where they wanted to focus on Maori and Pasifika work place incidents as they have the most out of any and the Nat MP was going ahead with that and along comes ACT. Nat MP folded immediately. Fucking loser. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
ACC backs down over Māori, Pasifika injury targets after ACT pressure
ACT had accused the ACC of not complying with a directive that public services be delivered on the basis of need not race.
