It's demeaning while RW politicians drink at their internal parliament pub, receive accommodation allowances and get incredible incentives for life #nzpol

Drug testing has (by design) captured all the attention, but it's nowhere near the worst bit. For more than 30 years, benefit levels have been kept lower than the cost of staying alive. On purpose. Campaigning on the back of cutting them even further is monstrous. The cruelty is the point.

Wish I could talk to Chlöe or Marama for 5 mins. Just wanna let them know if they form a government, & during negotiations they made getting rid of relationship means testing for the permanently disabled/chronically ill a non negotiable, & got it across the line, it would change my life. #nzpol

Yesterday I caught up with an old friend and we went to an art exhibit - turns out we're very good at figuring out (making up).what the art represents. It's not our fault the artist didn't see our vision 🤣🤣🤣 But it was really fun and we were talking about it so I guess that's successful arting.

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.
