March against mining on conservation land, against new oil and gas exploration, seabed mining and we'll march against the Luxon Government's War on Nature and against the one-stop shop for environmental destruction that is the fast-track approvals bill.

“We should be questioning the logic behind making the poorest pay to bring down inflation. It’s no comfort to the thousands of people losing their jobs now that inflation is coming down, when their income is falling further.”

I'm trying to work out how an important link between 2 major islands seperated by a sometimes vicious sea of water can be called a "pet project"

Yes, upgrading the major non-aircraft link between our two main islands, and enabling improved business opportunities for rail, in the age of climate change, is described as a “pet project” by the finance minister as she dumps it in the bin.

It’s amazing how she can be so about face on the logic here. Where’s the business case on what cancelling this project will ultimately cost taxpayers? Oh we don’t need no stinking business cases, we’ve got vibes.

Half a million people in London right now. Jewish activists in New York last night. Polls in both countries overwhelmingly support a ceasefire in Gaza. Cannot imagine this level of support even five years ago. Whatever happens, the Palestinians are no longer alone.

Gaza is in an almost total media blackout, with only a few journalists and civilians sharing what is happening due to having international e-Sims. Israel’s communications minister says he will fight any attempt to restore communications. UNRWA has described the situation in Gaza as ‘hell on earth’.

A half million people are protesting in London because of Israel's genocide of Palestine, and the corporate media is down playing it to a few thousand people.
