ACT wants to freeze minimum wage and reduce youth training rate
The ACT Party would freeze the adult minimum wage for three years and reduce the training minimum wage for workers under 20 years old to 60 percent, if re-elected.

Some f*cker keeps ripping my Toitū te Tiriti sign off my front fence. We don't have an inaccessible place to display it. It's making me grumpy. It lasted a long time, so it feels like a new neighbour.

The funding sitch is a whole other thing.. turns out less than 1% of funding from philanthropic orgs in Aotearoa is targeted to family and sexual violence. Shitty but true. Fortunately we have plans for a diversified funding model but for now..💙 givealittle.co.nz/org/tika

It is a sad reflection of our social and justice systems that a service like this is needed. Abusers KNOW they will more than likely get away with it. Hopefully this scares the shit out of them... Including the monster in the beer industry. www.tika.org.nz/how-it-works

Newtown pocket friends. My little cat - Waitī - has gone missing. She regularly goes on hikoi, but it's been over a week now. 😭 We think she hangs out around the hospital. If anyone works there and can post her on the bulletin board, it would be appreciated. We're worried about her.

Cannot believe that RNZ minimised the Tom Philips case as a "saga". FFS. He was a violent kidnapper and abuser, including a child abuser. Those kids and their mother went through more than a "saga". Gross reporting that minimises family violence in the most extreme form.
