The audacity is staggering. Tourism New Zealand’s 100% Pure site calls Māori culture “an integral part of life in Aotearoa, New Zealand” while the Coalition Government strips back te reo, Māori names and Treaty obligations. Māori culture is not a brand asset. It is foundational. #nzpol
My cousin
does not get how these wildfires keep happening.
My coworker
does not get how these outbreaks keep happening.
My acquaintance does not get how these scandals keep happening.
My friend does get it but nobody listens to her.

Greta wasn’t wrong when she said our house was on fire
It’s time to make the oil industry pay for the damage they’ve done as we put them out of business FOR GOOD!

Three years into government and it was, and still is, and will always be "Labour's Fault".
But wait there's more, introducing "Trump's Fault", July 26 a new fault has been found.
Although sighted, felt and in plain sight daily, the elusive "National's Fault" is yet to be found.
Bread, milk, cheese, butter; legs of lamb $100. Then there's power. Exponential. Oh, & RATES because 'somebody' killed 3Waters. Not to mention $100 for telehealth, & prescription charges. Oh, & RUCs, petrol, & insurance. Oh yeah, public transport too. They fucked the motu.
You would think that if the internal polling was so bad that they accept that they would lose their seats at election time, then maybe, just maybe, they would reconsider some of the shit policies they are about to implement before November, but it seems not... fucking idiots #OTG
Just like that, another Maori Bashing Policy by this Govt. Extinguishing already signed agreements. Line them all up on Nov 7th. Out they go. #Liars Deceivers and Charlatans. And while I’m at it, what says the Iwi Chairs Forum? Most probably mtg with the Govt as we speak.
Why cant people promise a Billion Dollars for renewable energy sources instead of taking a gamble that there is oil in them there seas? Talk about backward and retarded politics. #NZ1St
So the Westpac economist says NZ is in an economic slump, inflation and unemployment are high, many people are struggling to meet their daily needs yet Luxon says we should be happy and the polls are irrelevant. Delusional.
Kaitiakitanga, the world’s most beautiful word. What a shame it’s lacking from the vocabulary of National, ACT & NZF. An understanding of this would have saved 3 Waters, prevented mining, intensive dairy farming and protected our natural environment.

The way to deal with the climate crisis is pretend it isn't happening.
The way to deal with Covid is pretend it isn't happening.
The way to deal with corruption in politics is pretend it isn't happening.
You see the theme here?
There are about 15,000 jobs advertised today and...
- 174,000 people officially unemployed
- Another 144,000 people who want more hours
- A further 80,000 potential jobseekers
This is a failure of economic management on an absolutely tragic scale. Shame on you. Ghoul.
Some of the 55,000 tennis balls used during Wimbledon are upcycled into tiny homes for harvest mice.
After the tournament, the used tennis balls, made of rubber and felt, are collected and transformed into cozy shelters by organizations like the British Wildlife Centre.
I really have to commend Al Gore for his restraint because if I was in his shoes I would be well into the fifth year of my worldwide “I Fucking Told You So” lecture tour
