He could not distinguish between the UN report that he abstained (on our behalf) from and the MBIE document John Campbell was querying the authorship of. He did not understand they were two different documents.

“Why can’t the Greens be an eco party that stays focused on the environment, not those pesky social justice issues? Why can’t the Greens just *compromise* and let our neoliberal/monetarist policies do their exploitative racist capitalist thing?” has been around for ever. It’s the planet, stupid.

It's hard to stomach the idea of a "kingmaker" who would make a shabby patchwork king out of such a scrappy group, one of whom she astutely doesn't believe and another whom she correctly calls racist, plus another who is simply dangerous. THAT's going to be king if Nats get 1% more than Labour?

Peters unable to distinguish between an MFAT document they were discussing and the UN resolution he abstained on. Abstained on our collective behalf, in light of NZ1st's beliefs. He should be sacked today.

Nice work from Neale Jones on Nat-drop-in-the-polls bene-bashing history $1.5m/yr on 10k drug tests will find not much -Jobseekers have had to pass a drug test for any job that requires one since 2013 -2018: 47,115 tests, only 170 failed (incl those who didn't turn up i.e. 0.36% of referrals #nzpol

In RNZ: "’The threshold for banning content under New Zealand law is high and requires that we balance freedom of expression with the likelihood of harm,’ NZ Chief Censor Caroline Flora said.” Surely there is huge likelihood of harm in allowing this livestream in Aotearoa. Our govt must ban it.

It’s a dog whistle. They don’t care about the drug testing, they care about what it signals to their ever-decreasing-circle of a base. Just like the cynical posturing of the TPU outlined by Nicky Hager.

What exactly is a person meant to do if they lose their benefit due to failing at job seeking or a drug test? Are we meant to have some zombie class of people who don't receive a benefit, don't qualify for housing, and are constantly cudgeled into moving on if they happen to stop in the wrong place?

I hate how we're being prepped for this as if it's inevitable. Nats pretending it's fiscally irresponsible not to, Labour as if they're taking a bullet for us by not. We spend well below the OECD average. It's only the greed of the 1% that makes this a financial issue, like everything else. #nzpol

And Richard Harmon boxing on about “bipartisan” as though there’s two parties… I think the 27% “undecided” voters would like to hear from some other partythat’s polling quite highly at the moment (and maybe some others)…

They really seemed to be implementing a Don't Mention Chloe protocol, hoping no one would notice the Greens. She and Qiulae were by far the highest ranked speakers throughout. Peters relies heavily on stock stories and banter.
