Crime the crown legalised & continue imo.

“Would that be the reaction if we weren’t talking about Māori land? If we were talking about the property rights of Pākehā landowners? Where are all the “one law for all” warriors when it comes to laws that only disadvantage Māori?” #NZpol

"Chris Bishop says NZ rents are too high, but the evidence is mixed as to whether the accommodation supplement makes them higher"
The accommodation supplement doesn't make them higher - greedy landlords do. Why don't we ban increasing rents just because the supplement increases? #NZPol

My mum delivers junkmail too, but justifies it by saying it's paid exercise. Seems to have forgotten her days as a union delegate...

I get it’s most likely an overworked and underpaid job - I’m grateful - but if I was a supermarket delivery person in Pōneke in winter, I’d wear a head torch. Then I wouldn’t have to ☎️ the customer to come down the path & help with 5 paper bags when delivery is what’s been paid for #BrightIdea 🔦

It is outrageous that the Massey University Foundation is funding genocide by investing in Israeli Government Bonds. Please add your name to this call for divestment from Students for Justice in Palestine.

Wow. I did not know this. I'm staff, and donate to the Foundation directly from my salary. I've signed, and I'll also contact the Foundation personally to demand divestment. Thanks for sharing. #FreePalestine

Yep. So obvious only Simeon could miss.

I wish media outlets/pundits would stop referring to these kinds of people as simply 'controversial', 'colourful' or 'outspoken'.

Be honest, call them what they are: *maliciously ignorant and dangerously stupid*.

FGS, AoNZ deserves far, FAR better.

Same-sex marriage is not gay privilege, it's equal rights. Privilege would be something like gay people not paying taxes. -- Like churches don't.

I dig this chestnut up often, but it's a good one: Nothing ages you faster than when you stop embracing new music. Listen to country, listen to rap, listen to whatever, but keep listening and especially keep listening to new artists and songs. Keep yourself alive.

Also, Nicola Willis is wrong. Then again, I suspect I've talked - and genuinely listened to - a lot more Maori who think exactly that, because they've lived potentially dangerous misdiagnosis, disparities in care and offensive treatment based on ethnic stereotypes/assumptions.
