Chloe was right, was right to say it & right not to apologize There are multiple govt MPs saying privately they know the govt position is deeply wrong but are putting *themselves* first when it comes to the greatest atrocity of the modern age. That's FAR more than just spineless

Money speaks louder than words: MP politicians’ pay rises: 10.5% over 4 years (plus superannuation up to 20%) Govt Crown Board members: 80% pay rise (Because it's 'important to pay for quality and retention'.) Pay rises offered to: Teachers: 1% (a -1.7% real terms pay cut when

this is a surveillance policy and will be used as the first step for identity-based locks on access to content and services *at best*, just like what we're seeing the US 1news.co.nz/2025/08/23/dri…

Please take note New Zealand govt spineless lot

I can’t in good conscience continue to work for Reuters given their betrayal of journalists in Gaza and culpability in the assassination of 245 our colleagues.
