The Spinoff has an article in the wake of Chris Bishop being, well, Chris Bishop. thespinoff.co.nz/pop-culture/...

In it is one of my favourite memories from the 2020 election:

I hate headlines like "Budget 2025: Winners and Losers" because it makes it sound balanced when it fact it's:

Winners: Small group of rich pricks
Losers: Rest of New Zealand, but especially women and the poors

That reminds me of this picture...
The word 'TEAM' in white on a black background, except for the 'A' which is white on red. Underneath is the phrase "There it is. The 'I' in team. It's hidden in the a-hole."

After making my submission to the Law Commission I looked back in my pictures from 25/03/2023 for a reminder of how much we outnumber the anti-trans bigots.

My son said "I can't believe how many people came out for us."

Look at this photo. It's not just Winnie and Rimmer that makes Luxon look like an afterthought in his own Government...
Christopher Luxon, Nicola Willis, Chris Bishop, David Seymour, and Winston Peters walking in a corridor. Leading this pack of nasties is Nicola Willis, with Peters and Luxon on either side of her. It looks very much like she is the leader in this picture.
