People who would have been driven away are the same people who bring the worst energy to the stadiums and bars, and who drive others away with that behaviour. I don't think it was the primary goal but I'm here for the Poua laying down some terms

No wrong time to take a stand but if there was ever an opportune time it's now, when they have little to lose and a lot to gain. Racists, right wingers and people who don't think sport and politics should mix can and will just keep supporting the men.

"The Poua will drive a lot of people away" Maybe consider that right now, with a relatively new up and coming team, with only a few thousand seats filled at their games right now, that they might be setting a standard for their growing base of fans? That they don't want racist fans?

Recognition of cultural expertise and knowledge, especially of te reo and tΔ«kanga, is not just something that affects a minority. It affects everyone because it also lays the ground to ensure there are opportunities for learning and development for everyone. More opportunities = more speakers.

The PSA raises the bar. Private sector unions raise the floor. I've brought Te Tiriti o Waitangi claims to my collective bargainings and that's only possible because of the successes of PSA members and the ground the PSA has laid

Conflating Judaism with Zionism and conflating support for Palestinians with anti-Semitism is a lie. Don’t fall for it. Don’t dignify it by letting people force constant clarifications from you. You can be unabashedly, unapologetically pro-Palestinian liberation.

We're out there calling people to show up to the polls so that we don't see FPAs flushed down the toilet and you're putting the GST back on fuel in the middle of a cost of living crisis. Wise up and offer something substantive ffs πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Personally I'm voting Green but when Green policies are ruled out by this centrist chumps in Labour, people notice. You're really not going to commit to anything inspiring or ambitious. Do you want to lose?

As a paid member of a union staff we are doing some election campaigning which I'm happy to do because it's on the clock and we all have a vested in keeping NACT out, but fuck, Labour are determined to not make this easy for us

Japan has truly stolen my heart in this world cup. Not only do they have a beautiful, controlled, fluid style of play, but they're also so good-natured, fair & good sportswomen. I have other teams I'm supporting but I think Japan has the best chance at winning and I'd be very happy to see them win.
