By my count Labour and Parliament lost 4 Maori MPs, 3 Pasifika MPs, 12 women MPs, first Sri Lankan MP, only Chinese MP, only African Refugee MP and 3 MPs with direct union backgrounds. Black boy suits prevail now. #gohardNZ
This is for the young progressives out there. When I was a bit younger, I was terribly disappointed with then President Bill Clinton, who signed the hateful DOMA and Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell into law. It seemed he had betrayed all of his values and the LGBTQ community that had helped get him elected. There was a part of me that said I would stand on principle and never vote for him again. But then I remembered, voting isn’t about loving everything about your candidate. Voting for me is about making a strategic move that will best advance the cause of democracy, freedom and peace for all people, even if my candidate of choice really, really let me down. I supported Bill Clinton for a second term, even though he had just signed DOMA into law, a law that said my love for my husband Brad was not enough to be legally recognized, not ever. Candidates aren’t perfect. We shouldn’t ever expect them to agree with us always, even on the most basic of things.But we cast our votes as a prayer for them to do better because we know they can, and their hearts are in the right place. Bill Clinton came around to supporting my community, without exception. It took time. We got there. So don’t waste your vote. Use it wisely, and make the decision, even if it’s hard, to back the best candidate for what the world needs, and to help prevent an utter catastrophe if, heaven forbid, the other one is elected.
@VeronicaGlamis @nzlabour @grantrobertsonn Money. Money bought the election.
New Zealand Council of Trade Unions analysis has revealed that a select group of landlords would be made tax-cut millionaires if National Party landlord tax breaks are delivered. At the same time 350,000 people, including the disabled, risk seeing their incomes cut. A thread 🧵
The National Party went around the country telling councils they’ll repeal water reform & instead prop councils up. Now we see they haven’t accounted for a cent of funding in their fiscal plan. This u-turn will result in one thing - massive rates hikes. labour.org.nz/release_nation…
"The idea that the way to prop up your fiscal plan is to hit those on the lowest incomes during a cost of living crisis is outrageous, it is wrong, and it is shameful." 💯
As the Nats promise to 🪓 the #Māorivoice in our health service to "provider level", Te Pahunga Davis, Chair of Taranaki's Te Punanga Ora, hits back, saying the Nats "threat to #gut Māori health partnership boards would lock in poorer health for whānau." shorturl.at/bkIR5
Unbelievable that @NZNationalParty wants to slash @docgovtnz's budget by 6.5% ($46m) DOC is already underfunded (budget equivalent to Chc Council) and unable to manage the National Parks that make up one third of NZ. Defunding DOC would be catastrophic for nature and for tourism.
I'm sick of reading posts saying that the government has done nothing. This list isn't complete but you can see that they have in fact achieved a lot & Nat/Act would can or reverse much of it, which would be devastating for so many. Pse share this on social media & inform voters.
Why is this unethical, avaricious company permitted 'NAME SUPPRESSION'? What is wrong with numbskull judiciary! Company admits damaging 'nationally significant' archaeological site stuff.co.nz/marlborough-ex…
The National Party wants to scrap legislation that will ensure banks and insurers treat customers fairly – despite over $161 million paid out to customers because of mistakes found at some financial institutions. consumer.org.nz/articles/161-m…
Remember, feedback on plans for 94 road signs to be #bilingual, 🔼 our national identity & visibility of #reoMāori, closes 5PM THIS FRIDAY. Liking the idea is one thing, giving it your #tautoko to happen is another. Either way, share your whakaaro via email: [email protected]
@WakaKotahiAkNth What’s the story with congestion at the Mahunga Road on-ramp and off-ramps? It is 3pm so it’s not rush hour yet but the build up is intense and problematic.

Come on media, when are you going to name and shame these misogynistic arses?
The fuck is it with this pissing obsession?
@nz_voter That’s Waitematā Local Board member Greg Moyle. Disgusting
@Feijoa_Chutney @ninetonoon Do better @ninetonoon. Shameless grooming, the sexualisation and objectification of young women was not funny then either. Stop contributing to rape culture. Disgusting belittling of women's lived experience.
