Shut up you dickhead. Aotearoa NZ.

1/2 Anne Salmond on the alternatives available to #NZ: “First, we need leaders who understand that they are there to deliver health, prosperity & happiness to as many citizens as possible, not just the wealthy and privileged.” ➡️ 2 https://t.co/1m1OKvcvIm

Shocking!

New research shows that a whopping $11.8b has been wasted due to the government pausing, cancelling or delaying projects such as Auckland light rail, Dunedin Hospital and the Interislander ferries.

Honestly, how many records is this now?

Highest unemployment in 12-15 years. Highest business failures in 13 years. Highest youth unemployment NEET in 20 years. Highest gun related homicide in 20 years. Raging cocaine & meth crisis. Record homelessness. Record domestic violence

Over the years ive always found a few mps on either side that ive thought were ok. But our current government doesnt have 1 half decent mp. Luxon has created the most unhinged racist govt we've ever witnessed. His legacy wont be one of kindness It will one of division & poverty

A decision not to fund a prostate cancer screening pilot will cause more men to die. The foundation asked for $6.4 million over 4 years

National refused - but it's funding David Seymour's private school & Regulation Ministry slush fund to the tune of $200 million

Capitalism has ruined people’s worldview, making extreme selfishness and greed seem normal. It’s not humane, or normal, to believe that human beings should be denied shelter, food, and healthcare simply because they have no money. This is dystopian.

[Helen Clark @HelenClarkNZ]

This cannot be taken seriously. #NZ was suspended from a military alliance with the US in 1986 because of NZ’s insistence on being nuclear free. It freeloads off no one. Ramping up defence expenditure to fight others’ wars makes no sense. https://t.co/sM6CZMUGPl

The Right is attacking free press everywhere. Israeli Govt murdering journalists; Trump using licensing laws to silence; Act Deputy PM threatening RNZ and then RNZ CEO resigning; Nats cutting RNZ budget etc. No free people without a free press.

[Clint Smith @ClintVSmith]

amid all the cuts and cost of living increases in the Budget (justified by the need to shrink a deficit which is mainly paying for this government's tax cuts for the well-off), they did manage to find an extra $73m for tax cuts for people with more than $50k in overseas shares

This is what an Emmy awards acceptance speech looks like. Kudos

[Russel Norman @RusselNorman]

Just a reminder that the IRD found that the wealthiest 311 families in NZ only pay 8.9% tax on income. https://t.co/uwHpsmi70z.

Libraries are the real data centers, and they don't gobble up water and electricity.

Bros who spent the last few years posting grinning horse photos pretending to be offended by duck-faced horse

[sophist @no_sophist]

we already have a data centre in my neighbourhood. it's called? The Public Library

[plainjane @plainjane130632]

This is what @IsraelInstNZ defends. They tell us Israel has the right to do this. This is torture and abuse. If israel treats peaceful foreigners like this imagine what they do to Palestinians including children
The Israeli embassy must be closed and the ambassador sent home

[Mike Carlton @MikeCarlton01]

Global outrage at Israel’s brutal mistreatment of the western Flotilla activists. Deafening silence when Israeli so-called ‘settlers’ attack Palestinians in the West Bank, killing families, seizing their homes and farms, bulldozing their olive trees. The. hypocrisy is disgusting

@lorrainesplace @black13830 Wonder how many other Govt MPs are milking it while stripping support from people who need it

Anyone remember when David Seymour pressured cops to go easy on Philip Polkinghorne during a live investigation?

Seymour wrote 1012 words to defend a murder suspect who was the ONLY suspect in his wife's death.

Don't tell me Seymour cares about women
