If we were to protest at Parliament to object to Seymour messing with the Treaty of Waitangi, what would our song be?

Boy, there are going to be lots of very excited indigenous people around the world when they discover Israel and how old a land claim can be to get Western support for it!

Was going to say that if I was a witch I'd turn Luxon into an ugly green frog, but taking a second look, I think someone's beat me to it. He is ugly in mind body and soul. How did we get to this?

Reti is unfit to lead a ministry so important to our countries future. It would be morally wrong and a political liability but I suspect Luxon is so naive that he can’t see it. 🤬

Sadly the gif doesn't work here, it shows a time lapse of how quickly Maori land has disappeared. First pic Maori land ownership pre-1840 2nd Pic, Maori land ownership today. PLEASE don't let Luxon get rid of the Treaty.

Christopher Luxon’s plan to reopen NZ to offshore oil exploration is STUPID. We we can SEE the climate crisis taking an increasingly heavy toll. We KNOW it’s being caused by burning oil, gas and coal. Scientists say we can’t afford to burn even known reserves. It’s stupid and reckless.

Thinking about all the essential workers that will keep NZ safe, clean, fed, and moving over the long weekend who will get shafted if FPAs get ditched. FPAs ensure people are paid fairly for their work & stop the race to the bottom on wages & conditions union.org.nz/fair-pay-agr... #JoinYourUnion

Reti lied about suicide stats during Covid, does not support a woman's right to choose or informed consent, supports the privatisation of health, opposes the MHA and we still have leftish men who think he is a suitable health minister.

When the Right are up against it, 1 of the tactics they use is to make the campaign as messy as possible. They make ambiguous statements & scaremonger "the sky is falling cos Labour didn't pin it up properly" etc . People get sick of the crap & end up not voting. The RIght ALWAYS vote. Vote !!!

U may not need a benefit now, but what abt tomorrow Our grandparents fought for an effective welfare state so 'no NZer would ever go hungry'. Today, NZ's Right is threatening the very core of that institution. How many hungry kids will it take to make you vote against them?

Avoid infection by avoiding eating slugs, snails, crabs, frogs, and rats, or by really really washing and cooking your vegetables that rats and slugs, etc, also may enjoy.
