Don’t let the super rich buy (and dismantle) our democracy. Lots of small donations can make a difference! If every person who voted for me to be MP for Rongotai in 2023 gave $5 now, that would cover most of our Wellington Bays campaign costs this year. www.greens.org.nz/wlb_donate_g...

Large donations received by political parties in NZ in 2026x Act has received by far the most, followed by National, NZFirst, and Opportunity.

Just watched Caolan Robertson's latest report from Ukraine about the insane, reckless ways the Russians are abusing the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Powerstation. Their stupidity, careless, criminal ways mean that conflict is a threat to us all, because the Russians aren't following the rules of war.

It's Christmas Day, and I'm traveling to see mum for a few days. I decided to go lite: no carry-on. Now I'm wandering around Wellington Airport's departure hall bagless feeling like I don't belong... Thankfully I printed a boarding pass (how quaint!) and can hold that 😁

Anyone interested in why most of us feel like we're going backwards as we run ever harder forward? Believe it or not, it's because political choices made 40+ years ago have had long term consequences. It's time for a real change: #TaxWealth What r u voting 4 in '26? youtu.be/gAV0bkTHui8?...

This feels important. Get to 15m0s... It explains why our #CoC government's policies just feel wrong. Neither the Finance Minister her Ministerial colleagues understand government's role in the economy. Is there a Party in Aotearoa New Zealand that *does* understand? youtu.be/Q03GKwMxmAo?...

Yes, you are right. In the Preface of the book we talk🧪 about science and truth: "Our “true” is just the ideas (theories, hypotheses, models and scenarios) that agree most closely with the results of observations and experiments" at a given moment. 🧪⚛️🔭

Criminal justice - a hot topic - often supported by reference to "Deterrence theory" aka justice's dirty little secret. How well served are we by knee-jerk raising of prison terms, 3-strikes, and other retributive punishment actions? Research says: not well! youtu.be/m4GTiHkQvc4?...

Resene management willingly employees people on wages at rates that don't recognise hazard, experience, supervision or loyalty. They use the legal Minimum Wage as their benchmark. Employers like this make me wonder what they'd pay if there wasn't a legal minimum? The "market rate"? God forbid!

Denying working women equitable wages is, in fact, a very cunty thing to do. The pay equity amendment legislation looks like, sounds like, and reads like a very anti-women, anti-feminist bill. It's very cunty and so are its architects and supporters. #NZpol #CuntGate #PayEquity
