If we were to protest at Parliament to object to Seymour messing with the Treaty of Waitangi, what would our song be?

Rod Oram nails it.

An inexperienced Chris Luxon is about to inflict reputational damage on himself, the National Party and New Zealand if he pursues his reckless and ill-informed plan the restart oil and gas exploration in Aotearoa.

Boy, there are going to be lots of very excited indigenous people around the world when they discover Israel and how old a land claim can be to get Western support for it!

Parihaka. Remember Parihaka. Know it’s peaceful kaupapa and it’s brutal sufferings at the hands of the pakeha crown.

Was going to say that if I was a witch I'd turn Luxon into an ugly green frog, but taking a second look, I think someone's beat me to it.

He is ugly in mind body and soul. How did we get to this?

No matter how much money you have if you are a billionaire in a country where people sleep under bridges you are a failure. You failed as a human being.

Reti is unfit to lead a ministry so important to our countries future. It would be morally wrong and a political liability but I suspect Luxon is so naive that he can’t see it. 🤬
It sickens me to think that this kūpapa could be Minister of Health.
Reti lied about suicide stats during Covid, does not support a woman's right to choose or informed consent, supports the privatisation of health, opposes the MHA and we still have leftish men who think he is a suitable health minister.

Sadly the gif doesn't work here, it shows a time lapse of how quickly Maori land has disappeared.
First pic Maori land ownership pre-1840
2nd Pic, Maori land ownership today.
PLEASE don't let Luxon get rid of the Treaty.

Christopher Luxon’s plan to reopen NZ to offshore oil exploration is STUPID.

We we can SEE the climate crisis taking an increasingly heavy toll.

We KNOW it’s being caused by burning oil, gas and coal.

Scientists say we can’t afford to burn even known reserves.

It’s stupid and reckless.

Something I suspect NZ is about to learn the hard way (again): politicians don't run the country. They make laws and high-level decisions, but they don't actually make the country function on a day to day basis. The people who do that are the people the new government is gagging to put out of a job.
