Here's Chlöe Swarbrick's speech, that led the Speaker to throw her out of the House.
Clearly makes the case for New Zealand to recognise the genocide and ethnic cleansing taking place in Gaza and the West Bank, and for it to recognise the state of Palestine.

while all the arguments against AI are good and all, lets be real
The real argument against AI is that Sarah Connor would be very disappointed in us using it.
And we can't have that.

Advice for our allegedly Christian PM.
When Jesus said
“Suffer the little children...”
he really didn’t mean
“Make the little children suffer”
Just saying.

Submissions have opened on the Treaty Principles Bill. You'll almost certainly see a lot of individuals and groups with big followings telling you to submit using a template that they provide. I am pleading with you to not do this. It's the least effective way to participate.

There are many people in NZ who were so pissed off by a woman leader ‘telling them what to do’ at the beginning of covid that they violently occupied parl lawn and spooked the govt into ignoring airborne mitigations.
Meanwhile, we were spared this:

I just got to tell 3 different men flashing anti abortion signs to fuck off on my way to the train station. They were getting up into everyone’s face, you couldn’t avoid them. I made a point of taking the flyer for the pro choice rally off the lone female trying to combat the idiots. Thanks Luxon
