Happy Mother’s Day from the Coalition Government My Stuff #cartoon today #nzpol #WomensPay #Fairpay #Equity #KissMyFatArseMyDarling
Cartoon. It says, “Happy Mother’s Day to all you women, mothers and child-free alike! Thank you for selflessly giving up fair pay and for sacrificing your families, your welfare, your security, and your retirement, to save our budget. YOU ARE THE BEST!” In the lower right corner are Finance Minister Nicola Willis and PM Christopher Luxon applauding. Luxon is looking a little anxiously at MP Brooke van Velden, who has gone into robot mode and sending signals to the mother ship.

Despicable attitude. Betting kosher meals for Jewish students are in the same boat here too.

John Campbell: Waitangi in the age of the Treaty Principles Bill
ANALYSIS: The crowd was smaller, the Prime Minister was absent and, one year after the jubilation of 2024, the mood was different.

Hi you don’t have to post it. And you don’t have to re-post it. And you can think about the fact that Jewish people are gonna be traumatized every single time you make us see it over and over and over and over. You can just not post it.

Reposting as a reminder. Get your submission in. You can literally write something like: I oppose the Treaty Principles Bill because it is unjust and ripping New Zealand apart. I recommend this bill be ditched.

Policy interventions can do amazing stuff. This newish analysis of the intensive Healthy Homes Initiative finds: - 18.6% drop in hospitalisation, or about 10k/year. That's a small hospital. - 5% drop in school absenteeism. - Slight increase in wages. www.tewhatuora.govt.nz/publications...

Well, yes, if you cut 8500-10,000 public sector roles, and drive 79,000 people to leave NZ, plus give landlords a tax break, of course the tax take will be lower 🤦🏽‍♀️ This is a very simple maths equation. www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

I should think so. It's a record of events. But don't know for sure. I just went inside and asked staff if they would be collecting signs and they said yes. It would best to check with them.
