Ok BUT also random drug tests for the millionaires and billionaires getting government contracts too. Why? Because if you're gonna make poors stay off drugs for 372.55 a week then you should expect the ceos getting part of the $52 billion in government spending to do the same. #nzpol

If only politicians talked about climate change mitigation and reversal the way they talk about the AI revolution. The assumption is inevitability of one while inactivity on the other, or even flat out denial. What's the price in donations to flip it? Genuinely, neolibs? Name a price. #nzpol

Labour admitting they don't want to raise the minimum wage to the living wage is admitting some people don't deserve to be paid enough to live on. Meanwhile, Conservatives who own businesses harp on about returning to family values but refuse to pay their workers enough to live on one income. #nzpol
