“Yes, the people who demand their own free speech while taking outrage at comments they don’t like, the party of pay inequality between the sexes, the party that lacks all respect for Māori heritage and our binding tiriti, have the gall to say who else should live here.”

@HelenaT57230672 @IRONH3ART53 @NZNationalParty When a ‘donor’ gives you money, and you give public money back in some form … that’s called ‘corruption’.

@nickarockel Read Dame Anne’s latest Nick. ‘Free’ refers to their capital movements, not us.

@Dairy_News @Rural_News And what the f$&@ would he know about land use industrialism, and degrading our market position where discerning high value markets increasingly desire safe, clean, healthy food with a positive social & environmentally clean narrative?

@nickarockel I’m in hospital Nick. Please stand for me. I’d appreciate it. Arohanui.

Today I was ejected from the house for my response to the first reading of the Treaty Principles Bill. I just want to clarify something.

I will not apologise for what is the truth. David Seymour has continually misrepresented the Treaty. End of story, Kia Ora and Good night.

@ConversationEDU @UniMelb ‘Improving service’ by bringing in a profit motive is an absolute myth. They’ll box tick their way to mediocrity, flap around their faux ticks, and service will fall because it’s far more important to fatten up Mr Creosote with profit than look after actual people.

“People are exhausted by this government. Attacks on frontline services occur daily as they smirk and say it isn’t happening. But it is, and people are hurting and fearful because of their actions.

Is that how a government is supposed to make people feel? Hurt and fearful?”

Don't be fooled—behind all his slick rhetoric, JD Vance is just another shill for the corporate class who will sell out workers to corporate America. This ticket isn't pro-worker or pro-union. It's the billionaire ticket through and through. https://t.co/GnBvkI0ynB

The poor are Untermensch. We are witnessing latter-day Eugenics.

Neoliberals - like Eugenics - rationalise the abuse of the poor. They deserve it.

The Neoliberal rationale is a based on a world of perfect info, no culture & a robot mind. So you ‘choose’ poverty. Trite crap

[Max Rashbrooke @MaxRashbrooke]

A Budget whose tax cuts give 2x more to the PM than to minimum wage workers, has $2.9bn in tax cuts for landlords, and excludes many poor families from many initiatives, will officially maintain or worsen child poverty rates. Unacceptable. 1/

[Chris Perley @ChrisPerley]

The organised corporate criminal theft of the commons … facilitated by those parties bought by the corporate crims, promoted by corp PR, rationalised by lies & an economic mythology whose central premise is equal powerlessness - & so unleashes the Hyenas & claims they have merit

[Joe @sailingjoe]

@char_kiwi @NZNationalParty When all our assets (including water) are 'underfunded' lyin luxon can 'sell them' to his 'rich donors'! who will then make 'more' $millions 'charging us' for what we 'once owned' While kluxon retires' in hawaii !with 'obscene wealth' stolen from 'Taxpayers'! grifter crime !

"Mind you if reducing staff at MSD, just as you’re making tens of thousands of people redundant, seems like poor planning it’s got nothing on canning a $6b fund to rebuild the infrastructure so badly damaged by Cyclone Gabrielle."

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

I’m happy my tax money is used to provide financial support to those who are too unwell to work. I’m also more than happy to pay taxes on the premise that if I’m one of the unlucky ones who can’t work due to ill health I will be financially supported

It’s called civilisation

[Chris Perley @ChrisPerley]

‘This govt’ doesn’t just have wrong priorities, it is incompetently ignorant of economics, of our social systems that support our economy, and of the environment all.

And it lies like a Snake Oil Salesman … from the Deodorant Marketing Division.

[Chris Hipkins @chrishipkins]

In 2010 the whole of the public sector made up 19.7% of NZ’s total workforce. In 2023 it made up 18.8%. Claims there has been an explosion in the public sector are pure spin to justify sacking hard working Kiwis to pay for unaffordable tax cuts. This govt has the wrong priorities

Nationwide protest May 1st. An appropriate date for unity.

[Chris Perley @ChrisPerley]

It was *so* obvious that this outfit and ACT were empty vessels echoing lies to get power. Useless.

[Chris Perley @ChrisPerley]

@CardsToast @quinnjin2009 And the economy gets worse as the local $ churn declines, as does hope, trust and all the other social capacities that underpin economic performance.

Not that neoliberal spreadsheet money-minds have the intellect to think that deep.

[Chris Perley @ChrisPerley]

Neoliberals and their corporate mates are a hell of a lot more linear, silo-thinking, disconnected, mechanical, box-ticky & authoritarian than any who build cultural teams and express thought and idea through art.

Yet they claim they’re about ‘freedom’ .. 4 them to exploit us

[Grandma rules @LaikaLizzie]

Ugh. Seymour certainly has no idea of poetry. All he is doing is spouting propaganda. And no Act's world is not free at all but a distopian hell that is like Brave New World.
