Seems to me that it's a bit rich to be 'surprised' at racism against our Indian communities, when we learnt that racist language and behaviours at the feet or our parents and grandparents. It's fair to argue that's not who we are now; however, the evidence would appear to disagree. #nzpol

The economy is recovering for those whose voices matter. Those struggling can be safely ignored - unless it's to tell them that their struggles are (somehow) being caused by those also struggling. And the more they struggle, the better for those whose voices matter. #nzpol

If you've looked at the history of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and how it failed to protect Māori rights, would you then be comfortable having your rights protected by this same document? Would you like to be treated the way Māori have historically been treated in this country? #nzpol

#nzpol Tēnā koe, Prime Minister Luxon, I am reaching out to express my profound concern over the decision to exclude Newsroom journalist Aaron Smale from the official apology to survivors and victims of abuse in state care. I am writing to implore you to reverse this decision.

I could spend $500 today to address an issue, or, I could spend $100 but it will cost me a further $1000 later on. However, by the time the bill comes due someone else will have to deal with it. Then, I can yell at them for spending the $1000. National/ACT/NZ First austerity logic. #NZpol

Surely the NZ Labour Party can win the next election if they just present watered down versions of existing National Party policies as their campaign manifesto, or just 'cautiously agree' to changes to show they are a 'serious' party. I'm sure nothing will go wrong because of it.
