It's not the size of the sausage, it's what it's made up from; no one wants a sausage filled with lead, mercury, cadmium, beryllium, chromium, nickel & arsenic from smoking. We don't want a sausage that should have gone to fighting climate change. Minimum earners can't eat ghost sausages
Someone needs to break it to her that it's not the size of the sausage, its how you deliver it.

Just told my eldest that speaking and using te reo Māori is now an act of defiance towards the new govt, so that's got him fired up

"“We cannot wait to get stuck in”, Christopher Luxon said, as he looked up from this narrow, limp vision of our future.

Get “stuck in” to what?

And to whom?"

This is utterly brilliant from @johnjcampbell.bsky.social

The coalition agreement shows that Luxon and his advisors were too inexperienced and desperate for power to counter the fever dreams and donor manipulation of 2 minor fantasist parties that the majority of NZers did not vote for. How we as a society react to this populist bullshit is crucial

Removing Te Reo from public agencies is just pandering to a hysterical minority. It will also sway public option towards believing this is a majority viewpoint.

What remains unique to Aotearoa if we turn away from Māoritanga?

I don’t think it’s minor at all. This is a far right government with an obsessive hatred of Māori. The list of anti Māori policies in the coalition agreement goes on for literally pages. We’re turning back the clock at least 30 years. www.teaonews.co.nz/2023/11/24/t...

🇳🇿 Read John Campbell's article.

If this administration is so insistent on the accountability of others, then it only behoves the rest of us to do our utmost to hold the administration itself to account.

Every lie contradicted,
Every denial rejected &
Every harm mitigated
by
Helping those affected.
