A couple of weeks ago, casey costello, in her capacity as Associate Health Minister, met with Irish anti trans activist helen joyce.
ACT hosted the terf and the FSU at Parliament.
This week cabinet made a decision to ban puberty blockers but only for trans kids, cis kids can still get them.

Interesting timing. Did Casey Costello meeting with Irish anti trans activist Helen Joyce, have anything to do with this decision?

Women's health let down again.
Ayesha Verrell asking why patients need to pay for cervical screening when every other regular screening is free.
Seymour confirming the govt has made a choice not to fund it. #nzpol

Has everybody seen the new video from Judith's friends at the Dept of Homeland Security? It contains little flickers of this guy in a gestapo coat. Everything is fine.

Wow! In the ongoing saga of Bangerz wanting to takeover the running of Kelston Boys, they have called Carmel Sepuloni "Carmel Trump" in their outline for running it as a charter school. #nzpol

I predict 27 or 28 November that he will "graciously" step aside because that's the date he gets his lifelong PM entitlements that he's entitled to.

Rana, Youssef and Samuel are in Jordan! They have their passports but no possessions. They are in a hotel that they are funding themselves... no taxpayer money is helping them. ❤️💚🖤

Greta Thunberg and 150 other flotilla captives were released and flown to Greece today. Still the kiwis languish in Israeli captivity. Luxon must act to secure the release of NZ citizens.

This is awful. The first of the Sumud Flotilla captives have been released and the descriptions of torture, especially to Greta Thunberg are distressing and inhumane. When will Luxon act on behalf of NZ? #nzpol

And then he mocks them and tells lies on camera about the brave humanitarians. Many of these people are European MPs and MEPs and he's calling them terrorists.

Dear Christopher Luxon, Ben Gvir, Israel's National Security Minister, is bragging about treating the Sumud Flotilla hostages as terrorists. 3 NZ citizens are being held hostage, what will you do? #nzpol

Stuff undermining the truth. Israel didn't block the flotilla, they committed an act of piracy in international waters and illegally captured people carrying life-giving humanitarian aide.

I thought this was an excellent post from Willie Jackson that explained the state of the economy and exactly how it got there. I'd like to see all Labour MPs repeat the exact same message again and again to try and cut through the spin from the right.
