Mitchell’s hand picked man impotent?
Have police gotten even close to the recruitment targets? Or are we still bleeding cops to Aussie?
Isn’t the whole saying that a “few bad apples SPOIL THE WHOLE BARREL”
If police and lawyers are to be believed, new Commissioner Richard Chambers was impotent for nine months to have charges dropped against a woman who'd accused his deputy

Far-Right: self-proclaimed Nazis are fighting with the people trying to protect pedophiles.

Far-Left: people fighting for universal healthcare to protect people from the Republicans’ healthcare cuts.

Centrists: These are equally bad and offensive to me.

Greens are now seen as as capable of dealing with the same amount of issues as Nats, Nats rated at 3.9 out of 10, the lowest of any party since the IPSOS Survey began in 2017 lol

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Public transport solves so many issue - is cheaper are far more effective than the coalitions “doh more roads” policy. The “more roads” bullshit comes from mining and construction - the real

The public can’t trust this govt:
They lie constantly
They operate for donors
Are corrupt as fuck
Won’t listen to voters.

This coalition needs to be relegated to miserably dark neoliberal history.

When someone has a huge amount of power - social, financially and politically and someone else doesn’t. And the person that was harmed is the one with no power - there actually isn’t 2 sides to that story. It is that simple.

This is so bad. Utterly shameful. No excuses for this blatant misogyny and protection of powerful predators….that’s what this is about - protecting the powerful regardless of their crimes - a woman is to blame. Career protection? Yeah that’s clear woman-hate right there.
this should immediately have a commentator REMOVED from their roles, instead it’s a strong signal of just how decrepit and servile to power nz media is

There were 159,000 written submissions on the Regulatory Standards Bill (on top of over 23,000 submissions last year) - numbers that are second only to the Treaty Principles Bill in NZ’s history.

More than 98% of public submissions were opposed.

There’s a word for this, but it’s not democracy.

Take as old as time.
Boy abuses girl, society stands by and laughs at the girls pain, girl lashes out and society punishes the girl.

Boy grows into abusing man cause that’s what society rewarded. Girl grows into silenced woman.
A middle school boy created deepfake AI CSAM of his fellow classmate, a 13 year old girl. The girl pleaded with the school but they did nothing and instead put her on a bus with the perpetrator. She ended up hitting him and was expelled but nothing happened to the boy.

Omg. I bet this was about access journalism like the last trump regime. Media bosses sucking up to Trump, knowing he was burning the USA to the ground, because “Imagine the sales when we break the story of USA descending into civil war”
Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

How fast to the Christian, family values start on the “child brides are fine” track truly blows my goddam mind.
Also fuck you Megyn, old men raping 15year olds is so bad. Criminally, life long damaging bad.
Grown adult men wanting 15 years old children is sick. Not even close to normal
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.
