I went on Hinge because that’s what you do when you’re single for the first time in 8 years (it’s okay, it’s life) and I HATED it. Can we go make to the ridiculously old neighborhood Jewish woman being full-time matchmakers.

A wealth tax isn’t radical. It’s fair. While the richest 100 now hold over $100b, whānau are struggling to pay for kai, rent, & power. Te Pāti Māori’s wealth tax would shift the burden off working people & back onto those who can afford it. Tax wealth, not wages. That’s how we fix this. #NZPol

Good news everyone, despite the planet dying, public services collapsing, wages going down and workers' rights being trampled on, the rich have gotten richer! Just in case you were worried.

TIL “What's the story, filthy Tory? Out! Out! Out” Is a classic protest chant from the Muldoon era. We brought that one back today. Any other classics for anti-National protests?

An honor and privilege to stand with Scabby the union rat at our protest outside an Auckland Business Chamber event hosting Nicola Willis.

The People's Select Committee of 10 former MPs is taking submissions on the Pay Equity changes. Since nobody got a say before the govt passed it under urgency. www.payequity.org.nz

A group of former MPs from across parties are running their own select committee on pay equity
A group of 10 former women MPs from across the political spectrum announced today that they have a formed what they're calling the 'people’s select committee on pay equity' to examine the Government’s changes to the Equal Pay Act.

It will serve as an extra-parliamentary committee tasked with considering public submissions and independently examining the new law. Parliament passed the law changes, under urgency, on May 12 which meant it did not go through the select committee process, or have input from the public. Finance Minister Nicola Willis said the swift process gave people 'certainty'.

Professor Marilyn Waring, a former National MP, said the former women MPs, have set up this committee to collect the evidence and hear the voices of New Zealanders regarding the policy debate on pay equity.

Just about everything Nicola Willis is announcing in this budget is bad for our future, bad for climate, bad for our society. Taking money from essential workers in female dominated industries, young families having new babies, KiwiSavers. It’s madness.

makes sense, if things had carried on the way they were going, Millennials were in danger of having enough money to survive to age 67 or even 68

The Government is halving its contribution to people’s KiwiSaver accounts. Currently, people saving in KiwiSaver can get $521 a year from the taxpayer, this has been cut down to just $260.72.

An awful budget that raids our retirement scheme, steals from working people and punishes the poor. Thanks, National.

Classic National. Destroying retirement funds because they’re so shit at the economy. Muldoon did it in the early 80s and if he hadn’t, we’d be such a wealthy nation by now. But no. National are fuck knuckles who keep fucking is over through financial incompetence. Literal economic vandalism.
