no taxes? I’d rather NZ political parties dealt with the fact we have 1) NO rules around lobbying 2) NO disclosure of targeted digital campaigns 3) NO limits on party donations

@chewienz.bsky.social puts the final argument on #CapitalFlight from #WealthTax perfectly. They DON'T contribute. "Drive them to the airport." #nzpol (add to: Norway's wealth tax INCREASED. They EAT tax - in "deductions". Their "philanthropy" is 75% paid by OUR taxes, forcing WHERE tax is spent.)

"... Prime Minister Luxon's "cry me a river" comment was recorded in Hansard. If one of your staff is discussing exchanges in Parliament with a guest then it's a reasonable expectation that they would have the written record open to refer to. In an election year this is more crucial than ever..."

At the Hamilton PSA debate, candidates were asked about disability NZF: Incoherent answer Labour: We don't have a policy announced Opportunities: We have no policy whatsoever Me: this govt's attacks on the disabled community are unacceptable, here's our policy, it was co-written by disabled people

The Green Party will build an Aotearoa where disabled people are valued and they and their whānau live with dignity and autonomy. An Aotearoa where disabled people and whānau have access to the services they need — like transport and good quality housing — means everyone can thrive in caring communities.

Our current laws, policies and social norms mean disabled people are often denied the same rights as others and are excluded from places and activities non-disabled people take for granted. These barriers are often worse for tāngata whaikaha Māori and for disabled people from marginalised communities.

The current Government has made it harder for disabled people to access the support they deserve and which enables them to participate equally in life and their communities.

The Green Party is ambitious in its plan to create a more accessible Aotearoa by building on the Enabling Good Lives framework and grounding our approach in Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Our approach will operate on a high-trust model and apply to all disabled people, including those with disabling conditions who do not currently access support. The Green Party is committed to an Aotearoa where disabled people and whānau thrive in caring communities.

Reckon we need to keep these potential relative percentages in mind when we look at positive / negative reactions to social media posts on culture war issues. And maybe also keep in mind that back then you could find out as a layperson, and now it's been made harder to.

Tiny little way to add some reo into your life that I have adopted. Instead of saying "Mississippi" or "potato" when counting out seconds, use the 4 syllable Māori place name of your choice. I have landed on "Whakatane" for some reason but the options are many, "Ōtepoti", "Rangiora", "Papanui" etc.

I wondered about this. Why are their polls still reported, following deregistration?

Screenshot from linked article, text reads:

And in August 2024, Farrar resigned Curia from the Research Association of New Zealand while its Professional Standards Group was dealing with a complaint against his firm, a process the association took the unusual step of concluding without him. Curia remains outside the body that polices polling standards. The mainstream media report its monthly numbers as though nothing happened.

Screenshot from linked article, text reads:

When I worked for National, the party ran a "red dot, blue dot" database that categorised every voter. Farrar was key to maintaining it. A pollster with that database has a solid inkling of how you will vote before you pick up the phone. Choose who you dial, and you can produce any result you want.

There’s enough food in Aotearoa to feed everyone. Let’s start by making sure every child has a nutritious lunch at school.

Graphic announcing the Green Party's plan to provide free and nutritious school lunches for tamariki. Below the headline, a school cafeteria counter displays healthy lunch options including fruit, wraps, baked items, and drinks. Two children hold trays at the serving counter. The text reads: “#BREAKING The Green Party will provide free and nutritious school lunches for tamariki.”

Campaign graphic showing a child looking into an open refrigerator containing a small selection of food and household items. Text reads: “At a time when more whānau are struggling to afford the basics and 1 in 5 children live in households that run out of food, every child should have access to nutritious food.” Decorative strawberry, arrow, and broken-heart illustrations appear around the text.

Campaign graphic showing two children sitting on the floor reading a book together in a classroom or library setting. Text reads: “Our tamariki learn better when they are well-fed. Every child across Aotearoa deserves healthy, delicious, locally prepared kai that helps them thrive.”

Campaign graphic showing children seated at a table with trays of school food, including sandwiches, fruit, vegetables, and glasses of juice. Large text reads: “The Green Party will restore, expand and protect funding to feed our kids in schools. No child should come to school uncertain about their next meal, and the Green Party will fix that.”
