Reflecting on Kim Hill: the skill of being fully present, then razor sharp astute, present then astute, leaning forward then back. So impressive. So needed in a democracy.

Went to see my local MP today about Gaza. It went surprisingly well and I've just heard the govt is going to be calling for a ceasefire! Thank freaking goodness 🙏

Don't let anyone gaslight you into thinking that standing against genocide is being against a particular ethnic group of people. Standing against genocide is simply pro humanity. There are enough horrendous diseases and accidents that take us humans out without us turning against each other.

Can our govt please stop using the self defence line? That was relevant in the days immediately after the Hamas attack. It's completely ridiculous now. Update your lines already. #nzpol

In 2008 TVNZ sent me to Rwanda. I saw the aftermath of genocide. I wondered how the world could've done nothing while it happened... now I know. I won't sit back and do nothing while I watch another genocide happening before my eyes.

Does Luxon think there should be consequences for him not meeting the promised deadline for the release of their fiscal policy before voting starts? Keeps going on about targets, outcomes, discipline...

Perhaps National think if people were just forced to get a job, any job, their problems would be solved. If only life was that simple. They're tapping into that old school "tough love" idea, the "this is what's best for you" punitive approach. Sigh.

What a troubling interview. This populist policy clearly hasn't been well thought through and is using those with the least power, influence and resources as political pawns. It's frankly disgusting. Our Tangata are too precious to break. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/audio/player...
