Takuta Ferris posted this. Keen to know what other New Zealanders think. We don’t have a constitutional document (we have a collection of docs said to make up an unwritten constitution). If you are non-Māori do you have different constitutional rights from Takuta?

The govt was advised that two shots came with increased risk of myocarditis for young people who were at much lower risk of serious covid infection anyway. Officials advised the govt not to mandate 2 vaccines for 12-17 year olds. But they did & they made this youth campaign.

The Finance Minister distributes the Budget to all the party leaders. Well, the ones that show up to the Budget Debate. Look who is missing.

There were only 2 MPs in the Labour caucus without uni degrees according to Willie Jackson. I suspect it’d be similar in all parties. Would NZ politics be better off if we had more working class representation & fewer who’ve gone thru the uni system?

Labour rolled Andrew Little 53 days before the 2017 election after their party vote hit 24% in the polls. Does Chris Hipkins face the same fate now he has the party at 24%?

Unbelievable. This is peak Chloe Swarbrick. She tried to get one of our trade partners to do an “independent investigation” into us because she doesn’t like our current approach to climate change.

The Migrant Workers Association staged a mock show trial in which they beheaded Winston Peters - after Paul Henry was accused of death threats for playing “shoot, marry, kill” one assumes this will be treated with utmost seriousness.

Every journalist should be ready with a microphone to doorstep Chloe Swarbrick & the Greens now that their protestors have smashed a window at Winston’s house & endangered his family.

I do no consent to my rights, protections, and opportunities being taken away because a bunch of the most privileged women on the planet have used their positions of influence to sell women out. Our sport is not yours to give away.

A TVNZ executive called Police Minister Mark Mitchell to apologise for how bad One News reporting was last night. Where is TVNZ’s apology to all the NZers it is lying to?

Filming yourself complaining about petrol prices… while filling up a vintage Holden Kingswood 🤔 It’s like moaning about grocery prices while pushing a trolley full of caviar! A car designed in the 1970s… Carburettor. Built like a fridge. And drinks fuel like it’s still 50 cents a litre and Muldoon’s on the telly. I asked AI to do the maths: Kingswood: ~12–22+ L/100km Corolla: ~4–7 L/100km Hilux (ute): ~7–11 L/100km That’s 2 to 4 times the fuel burn. So yeap, if you choose to drive a rolling museum exhibit, filling it up is going to hurt. Normal Kiwis don’t have the luxury of turning inefficiency into a lifestyle. But here we’ve got Labour MP Dan “Koru Club” Rosewarne staging a social media moment in a gas-guzzling classic and presenting it as evidence of hardship. Mate, skipping one Kingswood fill could probably keep a few Corollas running for a week.

I made this back in 2024. Unfortunately in the past 2 years Chloe Swarbrick’s vibe has shifted a lot and she is a lot angrier than Ardern ever was but once upon a time she was a mini me

Today Casey Costello used general debate to call out Benjamin Doyle for his “insulting” final speech. It’s worth s watch.

What we define “woman” as underpins everything else. We can’t deal with inequality, violence, representation etc if we cannot define the people we are advocating for.
