It is dumbass neoliberal "survival of the fittest" mentality that ignores the fact we are an interdependent species. We need to look after each other, not simply race towards individual agrandissement.

America is in that part of the historical cycle where words and books are banned but executions are good clean entertainment and everyone is pretending not to notice the national leader eating his own poo. If only history offered a guide for where this all leads.

What has this government been up to? Brad knows. Brad's been keeping a list (over on FB)... #nzpol

Over the last three years, I’ve been keeping a list of the rubbish this Government has done.
Stopped work on Auckland light rail.
Stopped all work on the Lake Onslow renewable battery project.
Disestablish the Ministry for the Environment.
Scrapped the smoke-free law to fund tax cuts.
Scrapped Fair Pay Agreements.
Gave $3 billion in tax cuts to landlords.
Tired to paid himself $52,000 to live in one of his own many properties, on top of his half a million dollar salary.
The so-called party of infrastructure ... cut Cook Strait ferry deal, then paid $8 million for consultants to tell them they need new ships. $700 million wasted in total. Still no ships.
Stopped the Clean Car Discount, after Luxon took an $8,000 discount himself.
Blocked statistical reporting on who does and doesn’t pay their share of tax. Think about that!
Broke its election promise and didn’t scrap the app tax.
Scrapped Three Waters, pushing costs onto ratepayers and increasing rates.
Used $4,150 of taxpayers’ money to pay for his te reo Māori classes after saying, “People in the real world should pay for it themselves.”
Halved the crayfish take for locals, but cut the commercial take by only one-fifth.
Gutted freshwater protections so cruel intensive winter grazing could continue to pollute water ways.
Took $80 million from hospitals.
Cut DOC funding by $125 million.
Scrapped the First Home Grant.
Gave half a million dollars of taxpayers’ money to their mate Bill English to do a "review".
Blew $8 million on consultants for a proposed tunnel under Wellington.
Wasted $4 million on a six-person advisory group to talk about crime and reduce youth offending. They achieved nothing.
Gave big tobacco a $216 million tax cut.
Refused to reinstate Jobs for Nature while unemployment soared.
Reduced the qualifications needed for relief teachers.
Introduced new road tolls.
Deprioritised police responses to mental health and family violence call-outs.
Slashed $107 million a year from school lunches, costing…

A view of the International Space Station floating in the stars above the earth. A cat in a space suit floats outside. An astronaut within the station looks out of a window and says "In? But I just let you out."

Opportunity‘s bottom lines are wobblier than the lines on a Squiggle. All the party has done is confirm what everyone I argued against said: they’re probably willing to swallow anything to be part of government. So, as someone who just resigned from the party: I was wrong about them.

In the last 6 months my YouTube feed has offered up dozens of clips with pseudoscience authority about them, using DNA heritage as a basis for discrediting Maori as indigenous to New Zealand. More colonial gas lighting, paid for out of the usa I expect.

It is a battle against greed. Health treated as a cost and not as an investment. Layered with the false assumption that profit is a right. The approach is to break the system in order to justify selling it off to profit takers.

Just to add that, as a practice nurse, it's a continual negotiation around the barriers to accessing appropriate care. I find it so grating when a patient needs something but they only get it with private money. I'd like a fully socialised healthcare system, and fight against creeping privatisation.

For those in the back: The total amount the New Zealand government has spent on all historical Waitangi Tribunal settlements over the last 30+ years is less than the cost of a single year of the 2024 tax cuts for Landlords.

It's nearly time for #BirdoftheYear2026. This year, I'm campaign manager for tītī | Cook's petrel. It's a trans-Pacific jet-setter with an underground bunker in Aotearoa, but this bird's emissions are actually GOOD for the environment!
