Comparing fines leveled at multimillionaires with those leveled at indigenous activists fighting to throw off the chains of colonisation and gain the rights promised to them in 1840 is pretty fucking stupid. You would know that if you studied our history at all.
I cannot underline enough that HALVING the operating allowance can only be read as an intentional attempt to destroy the country given the conditions that the National coalition have, again, intentionally created over the last 18 months
There should be zero argument about this
I will never forgive NZ media for their failure to listen to, stand with, or even REPORT ON Palestinian journalists while Israel murders them as part of their genocide in Palestine.
🚨 The promised footage of Destiny Church head Brian Tamaki confirming he gave the order to church elder Talā Leiasamaivao on 15 February to storm the library inside the Te Atatu Community Centre and shut down a children’s event being hosted by drag king Hugo Grrrl.
Tamaki goes on to also confirm he then gave a second order for his church members to “report for duty” at Auckland’s Pride parade on Ponsonby Rd later that night where they of course went on to disrupt proceedings with their Temu haka.
What follows below is Section 3 of the Summary Offences Act 1983 of which opens up the question of whether Tamaki could be liable for a charge of disorderly behaviour under the Act for inciting others in light of the below video evidence.
3.Disorderly Behaviour
“Every person is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 months or a fine not exceeding $2,000 who, in or within view of any public place, behaves, or incites or encourages any person to behave, in a riotous, offensive, threatening, insulting, or disorderly manner that is likely in the circumstances to cause violence against persons or property to start or continue”

As the government cuts the salaries of lowest paid workers from a living wage, to the minimum wage - which is an unlivable wage, it's good to remember this is the same government that accepted a 10% increase on their highly generous wages.

People should stop attacking me for making predictions like this, but very few of them ever even resile from their stances or consider that maybe they shouldn't get so rabid about it
National now openly beginning the privatisation move off the back of their initial failures

I'd just like to point out Seymour dropped everything to do an interview with an American youtube channel 2 hours after getting a press request, he's just fucking Erica about.
Still waiting for that big Tim Jago / ACT party / David Seymour investigation from any NZ media
Still waiting for ANY sustained pressure at all
Do NZ media support sexual assault??
In which Stuff's version of "balance" is David Seymour's version getting 2/3s of the story vs the entire Principals Federation
We're well past this being about giving "both sides" to a story. NZ media is openly in the corner of far-right privatisation

Yes folks, cutting Govt investment and sending the economy into a prolonged slump will force RBNZ to drop interest rates faster and lower. It's a genius plan if your primary goals are a smaller state and a desperate, powerless workforce 🫡
