As someone who built her own business from the ground up with a handful of clients & grew it to a team of 13 employees, handled PAYE ,GST & all creditors by myself for 11years before my health (& the GFC) eventually killed it, I can confirm this prick is a polished turd compared to SMB in NZ #nzpol

Delighted to stand with @nzpsa.bsky.social and Deb, who works for Nurse Maude. She is one of the 250 care workers on strike today, because their employer wants to cut sick leave, and has offered no pay deal. Deb & other care workers deserve decent pay, decent conditions, and our total support.

Similar to the lengths women take to make sure their drinks aren't spiked, there's already an app to notify you when someone around you is wearing the glasses. It's free and open source. It's called Nearby Glasses: techcrunch.com/2026/03/02/n...

Actions speak louder than words.....the current government and every single MP is supportive of throwing women under the bus by gutting equal pay claims and moving the goal post. They've also thrown women under the busy by trying to define women....what a farce. PAY US! #nzpol #equalpay #Selwyn

National, ACT, and NZ First has donor-funded media outlets ready to make YOU believe that the Greens don't care about working Kiwis. So @maramadavidson.bsky.social has this to say: www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361... #nzpol
Excerpt from Stuff Article:

Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson has labelled the coalition government “a pack of bastards”.

And when challenged by The Hui presenter Julian Wilcox that her language was “harsh”, Davidson doubled down.

“It's not harsh enough, Julian. The real-life damage that they have been doing to people, women, disabled people, Māori, the trampling over Te Tiriti, the absolute desecration of our tāiao, our living systems. There's far stronger words. I'm being mild.”

Davidson said people were feeling that their communities had been “spat on”.

“Let's just look at women workers and having their hundreds of thousands of pay equity claims stolen, real cuts when it comes to wages and incomes, cost of living through the roof.

“People are struggling to heat and eat, are struggling to pay their rent; people are doing their best. People are feeling that and they're not about to be gaslit that things are okay.”
