Elizabeth Rata, a member of the NZCPR, a group accused of anti-Māori propaganda, who uses her deceased husband's surname to speak on behalf of Māori, was appointed to the Ministry of Education board.

Elizabeth has an ideological hatred of Te Ao Māori and has attempted to Anglicize our education system by banning all Māori literature in our schools, which most schools have already paid for hundreds of books that are now worthless. How on earth Erica Stanford permitted Elizabeth Rata onto the Ministry of Education board is beyond belief.

The culture wars by the Government will be their demise mark my words.

Even if wasn’t utterly racist to attack Te Reo it’s educationally wrong to assume tamariki are “ confused” by kupu - most children on this planet have exposure to more than one language, it’s normal and exciting unless you think everyone shouid just speak English, think English

There was no rational reason to have a 2nd phase of the #NZ Royal Commission on #COVID_19 when the original Commission brought down a comprehensive & objective report. It seems even clearer now that phase 2 was always intended to be a witch-hunt. #nzpol https://t.co/2cW8GRA2pw

The fact that @chrisluxonmp has tweeted proudly that superannuants are getting a 3% rise shows how little they are doing for NZers. This is a yearly cost of living rise.
Mr Luxon stop trying to take credit for something you did NOT do.

If you can't be there, and there's nowhere on the planet I'd more like to be today, the beautiful, stirring, moving, virtuosic finals of Te Matatini are live on TVNZ2, TVNZ+, and Whakaata Māori.

So wonderful.

Congratulations to ALL involved. What a triumphant, remarkable week.

Deeply shocked to see the bullying & attempted intimidation of President Zelenskyy in Oval Office today. President Zelenskyy’s people are suffering hugely as they defend their freedom. They & their leader deserve support not abuse. Europe must now step up: https://t.co/aNey7yQNNs

MPI withdraws staff from NZ First Minister’s office after complaints. ⁦@1NewsNZ⁩ #nzpol https://t.co/Q8dx7Z1Kfv

[The Daily NationalNotFitToGovern @NatlClownshow]

What does it say that MPI refuse to assign anyone to @nzfirst minister @markpfarmer's office because of the behaviour of his staff?

It says that the shambles of @chrisluxonmp's govt is only getting worse. That's what it says.

The Speaker is currently reflecting on whether he’ll require MPs to also say ‘New Zealand’ if they use the term ‘Aotearoa’ in the House.

Perhaps this might assist him in his considerations.

So a year after cancelling $510m ferries Willis announced an announcement with no detail. It’s leaked that they will cost $900m, Seymour says the whole package will be $1.8B (but wants to privatise) and now Winston says he’s wrong about everything.

What an absolute circus.
