@GaryCupertino @Underwear_Queen @henrycooke @JosephMooneyMP Kiwi racists can get in the sea too

@tonycartman1 @PhilBStewart @chrisluxonmp I went to school with the kids on my street, and some of them were migrants or the children of migrants. I'm not sure what that has to do with me becoming less of a Kiwi...

[Callum McKenzie @eleventy]

@tonycartman1 @PhilBStewart @chrisluxonmp How does it make me less of a Kiwi? Please explain.

Many refugees can't go back to their country of origin because their govt won't just not take care of them, it's the reason they had to leave in the first place. Friends and family can be made here.

@tonycartman1 @PhilBStewart @chrisluxonmp My grandfather was a doctor, his funeral was attended by hundreds of his patients and their families at the local town hall. His father came here from Gujarat, India and started a greengrocer business that continues today. I owe my existence to immigration to this country.

@tonycartman1 @PhilBStewart @chrisluxonmp People moving here doesn't make me any less of a Kiwi, and just makes more of us. If people want to move here and contribute to our country, what's the issue?

@OuterDepthsMN @SocDoneLeft I think that's what he's saying: as life conditions improve people have less kids, so if the inverse is true then worse conditions = more kids

@IanMatTheBar @MangsMichael @Keanubtc @koekemoer_no1 Nah mate, unfortunately there's enough racist fucks coming out of SA that we'll be a little suspicious of you till proven otherwise. Maybe not as much with younger Saffas, but if you came to Aotearoa in the 90s, we'll be watching out

Does anyone more familiar with the NZ twitter cooker scene know what the deal is with the "spider" thing? Clearly some sort of in-group label, but what's the relevance?

[Callum McKenzie @eleventy]

@dissdisinfo @David_Cormack Which nations did God create? Hundreds of them have come and gone over history. Whatever you call ours it's a pretty new one comparatively. It's fair to say NZ is not the name the original people that found this country called it, so "later other people" messed with those names

@pcchan1981 @kiehlmanniac Assuming this question is asked in good faith, a chromosome is only 1 factor in biological sex. Hormones and how the body responds to them make the majority of the changes. If an XY person has reduced or no sensitivity to androgens they will develop largely as if they were XX.

@JimBell_Tweets @rousetodd1 @cherio007 Except you can do a personal karakia if you want, no meeting required. They're about setting intentions, like a mantra. So no, you're still wrong.

[Callum McKenzie @eleventy]

Of course you have the usual characters in the comments who railed against Labour's "authoritarianism" supporting the coalition overruling local democracy

[Russell Brown @publicaddress]

🧵My Listener column on Simeon Brown's rule-change on road speed limits. It increases speed limits on most roads, reverts any limits enacted since 2020 and, crucially, forbids councils ever reduce any of them, even at the request of their own voters. https://t.co/SfdCBuCu22

[Callum McKenzie @eleventy]

@Jane59501255 @publicaddress If this goes ahead it literally means that councillors won't be able to listen to their ratepayers on setting local speed limits. It removes local decision making, in favour of central government's political agenda

[orange? @generic_orange1]

The government wants local communities to make their own decisions. The only problem – they keep disagreeing with the government.

@_____Hardworker @JoelMacManus Not nearly so simple, chromosomes are not the be all and end all of sex differentiation: https://t.co/rnv3iVqSky

@cla92845617 @_chloeswarbrick We just had an election like 4 months ago, and Chlöe was RE-ELECTED. I think that tells you she might have a good sense for her community's priorities
