Two disgusting events.

Yesterday @dbseymour attempted to force Parliament to honour Charlie Kirk, a man who celebrated the genocide in Palestine.

Seymour DOES NOT represent the majority of Kiwis. We are anti genocide and anti RW rhetoric.

Move to the USA, David. Take your hatred with you.

The British establishment have all ready covered this new Banksy up.

Can we get it Retweeted 10,000 times to show that they can never cover up their complicity in war crimes??

Protect the right to protest! RT!

Your regular reminder that the govt is planning to remove up to 200,000 voters in our next election. Disgraceful and repugnant. Enrol to vote here. https://t.co/yWQHPMsSkz

Hopefully many kiwis understand that gangs are a direct consequence of colonisation poverty,deprivation and loss of identity ‘Smashing ‘ them is simply more of the same. An endless cycle of misery.

Tax. The. Rich.

Retweet if you agree.

[Prof Jennifer Carryer CNZM @Jennifercarryer]

Exactly

Decision to build $230m medical school in Waikato is a textbook case study of policy capture, where interests of well-connected institution, amplified by high-powered lobbyists, have overridden expert advice, fiscal prudence, and superior alternatives.

For a government claiming superior financial and business skills, #NationalACTNZFirst sure can make an absolute shambles of financial & business matters

David Seymour is saying the 130,000 submissions on the Regulatory Standards Bill are mostly just thanks to a Greenpeace email campaign, and therefore not people who have something to say about it.

He's wrong.

Only about 12,000 came through the Greenpeace submission guide, and they ALL deserve to be heard.

We truly are in unprecedented times

Why the Regulatory Standards Bill would paralyse Parliament, empower unelected overseers, and unravel democratic lawmaking in New Zealand

For anyone interested in Labour’s response to the ongoing conflict.

A fair and solid response from them.

[Greg Presland @GregPresland]

I completely get this. I personally have developed Tourette’s ever since this Government took office.

The two pictures really do sum up the ever widening gap and the complete failure of the Coalition to consider other realities.

[Willie Jackson @WillieJLabour]

We have two New Zealand's.

One where the rich are wealthy and sorted and the one where people who aren't wealthy and sorted suffer.

On RNZ today we heard about the level of desperation youth homelessness is causing.

Manaaki Rangatahi Pou Arahi (chief executive) Bianca Johanson told RNZ she was hopeful the Budget would offer.

There was none.

It delivered no support for young people, slashed emergency housing, took almost $700million from Māori and took $12billion from pay parity to subside big business.

Johanson said the proposed changes were likely to make things harder for those who are already vulnerable.
This is not the way a Government is supposed to care about its people.

As I look at images of the Finance Minister and Prime Minister laughing on Budget Day, I also see those who bear the price of those decisions and it is as angering as it is sad.

Our people deserve more than the crumbs from the table. They deserve dignity and well resourced support until they can make it on their own two feet.

We used to believe in unlocking our potential by helping one another. The right wing values of profit first, people second have replaced those values and it is causing a damage in our communities that we are not appreciating yet.

The harm this budget will cause must force the rest of us to redouble our efforts to make them a 1 term Government because I don't want a NZ that is sorted and one that is suffering.
