rnz.co.nz/news/political… My bro... This coalition is fundamentally evil

Tehran's population is ~9million... there is no way for Israel to do this that isn't an outright war crime. Once again Israel is announcing it's atrocities to the world, knowing that leaders in the west will side with them and pretend it's "self defence". Something has to give.

Btw, this is also why many Māori will cringe if you refer to pūrakau as "myths and legends". "Stories" is fine, but I'd avoid anything which overtly suggests pūrakau aren't true; the same way most of us give that respect to Christianity even if we aren't believers ourselves.

I knew about Whanganui, but not about the wider context. Endlessly fascinating for this frequent visitor to Aoteaora. Thanks for these stories. ❤️

Some of the NGOs in primary mental health care had contracts expiring on 1 July & they only JUST had them renewed for another year. Meanwhile the for-profit private hospitals are being dished up 10 year contracts when they don't offer anything the public hospitals can't do?

Welly Wahine 🍉 Yup! My job (literal suicide prevention case work) was only allowed a one year contract and they wouldn’t know until month before if they could even apply to renew it (and then they weren’t). And then I had to work out what to do with my caseload

Minimum Wage increased 1.5% this year. Data just released by Stats NZ shows: - Food Prices up 4.4.% - Beef up 16.2%. Lamb up 20.3% - Cheese up 17.3%. Milk up 13.7% - Electricity up 8.7%. Gas up 15.4% - Rent up 2.8% Laser focussed on the cost of living stats.govt.nz/information-re…

Speaking of ignorance, this came up in my Facebook memories from this day in 2022. At this point I assume Luxon was fresh off the boat and had no idea what NZ culture entailed. 3 years later and he's not much wiser 🤦🏻‍♀️

Cost cutting the census is utterly stupid and a clear indication the government just wants to be able to ignore any societal problems census data might reveal by just not having the data exist

Greg Presland Christopher Bishop doesn't like that pesky democracy stuff

Remember National complaining endlessly in opposition that the Census was a "shambles"? At least the last government managed to do one!

Kia ora Christopher Bishop. What are you going to do about the devastating cuts to key history teaching and learning resources provided by the Ministry of Culture and Heritage? These are resources kids and teachers in the Hutt South electorate use on a daily basis. 1/

LOL! Shane went to flog New Zealand off to the oil industry and they said they think his promises are worthless because the coalition will likely lose the upcoming election. teaonews.co.nz/2025/06/18/int…

So gross that this is top of the front page on Stuff. They didn't give AF when Israel destroyed hospital after hospital in Gaza (and even went so far as to spend months repeat the IDF's lies about not having bombed hospitals) 🙃

Can a Trump supporter explain why this is necessary without sounding like an utter sociopath

Didn't they campaign on the exact opposite?
