"No Farmers, No Food" they love to wail, demanding we bail them out and cut the tax on their utes, and yet 27% of our kids are going hungry.
This country is a failed state when it comes to self-sufficiency. It would rather sell its soul than feed its children.
I guess it’s down to the women to lift us up again? 🤷♀️ #nzpol
Wow.
New evidence acquired under OIA by Greenpeace has revealed that dairy giant Fonterra first requested, and then helped to write, the Government’s new grass-fed standards.

#RSB Following the Oral Subs by NZ Initiative 💀 & Bryce Wilkinson #AtlasNetwork @duncanwebbmp.bsky.social & Deborah Russell asked questions of BW which are well worth hearing. Qstns are not answered ofc, but grateful for the points raised. #SoImpoverished #nzpol Pt 1 of 3
Eternally strange to me that the RSB submissions are second only in New Zealand’s history to the Treaty Principles Bill, constituting an outpouring of public engagement in the same year on Bills championed by the same person and I can’t find reference to anyone in media who has made this key point.🤔
Happening now. Here. In America. It’s up to us to save us. Are we up to it? I honestly don’t know.
This needs to be screamed from the rooftops. If Luxon agrees to let this through, I think we should have a nationwide strike - and ask the Governor General to intervene, in the long-term interest of the country.
@schiff.senate.gov calls out his
cowardly colleagues 💥
colour photo taken in a carpeted hallway somewhere inside Parliament buildings. a young wahine Māori has her back to the camera and in one hand she holds up a pile of A4 paper documents. she wears a black coat which has printed on the back in red and white: "Ka Ora Tonu Taatou Ake Ake Ake".
screenshot from @hana_rawhiti on 20 May 2025 at 6pm. "We did a little something today… while the house was debating on silencing us, wiri, haka and worrying about “Te Reo Maaori go signs” 🙃 I dropped my first ever member’s bill, taaku Ture tuatahi ki te Whare Miere ‼️ “Members of Parliament (Duty to Uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi) Legislation Bill.” Te Pire mō Te Here ki Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Our response to the problem is not the issue, it’s the problem itself, which is that this system, this house doesn’t have any provisions to Te Tiriti o Waitangi in the constitution Act 1986, and there’s no duty for member’s of parliament to uphold to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. This is how all these bills get brought into the house, the treaty principles bill, The Regulatory Standards bill, removing 28 clauses of the treaty. Enough is enough, this is how we need to move forward as a country, this is a in-house clean-up not a country clean up. We are having to be the Opposers and Proposer’s at the same time. Hopefully this is a bill everyone will be able to support in submissions rather than oppose. #ParliamentCleanUp #TeHereKiTeTiriti."
What a way to top off the day! With the #ToitūTeHaka crowd outside Parliament, Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke announced her first ever Members Bill.
❤️🤍🖤 Members of Parliament (Duty to Uphold Te Tiriti o
Waitangi) Legislation Bill ❤️🤍🖤 #TeHereKiTeTiriti
The Regulatory Standards Bill has been a loaded gun from the start aimed straight at Te Tiriti.
Today, the govt pulled the trigger. It’s on the Order Paper.
This isn’t just another bill. It’s part of a calculated assault.

Scenes & commentary captured by the NZ Herald, from the hundreds who marched on Workplace Relations Minister Brooke van Velden’s office in Auckland & the 200 odd who gathered outside Tama Potaka’s office in the Waikato today to protest changes to the Equal Pay Act.

When a small sector of society relies on creating desperate families, students, workers to line their greedy pockets what do they expect?
This party has no shame. Talk about taking a leaf from Trumps book 'An idiots guide on how to lie'.
LOL.
The older generation tend to vote for parties that keep this mindset alive. It's time we all change. Pay our youth a living wage and look after our elderly. Greed and individualism keep this from being a reality.
We can learn from this terrible trend. Remember when young people were shamed for living with their parents due to house prices sky rocketing. Well in traditional customs including Maori, living with parents and grandparents was the norm.
Are we “Great” yet?
The Believed too much hat, had me rolling on the floor.
'They say people should be responsible for themselves' cuts off speech and proves WHY people need people.
Hahaha....wonder how much American's will be paying for their imported lettuce this year?
Yesterday I told the story of an apparent request from a Trump-run government agency that Amazon de-list my book. As a result, in the last 16 hours, the book has shot to number 6 across all of Amazon out of millions of books. I am absolutely stunned.
In any normal time this video would be the end of someone's career. This sums up all of these MAGA propagandists perfectly. (via @projectliberal.org)
Because women are visible and more than an object. They are angry the world has changed.
Lettuce will win...again.
Agree.
@stuff.co.nz @nzherald.bsky.social Journalist - watch this to remind you what journalism is. @chrishipkins.bsky.social @duncanwebbmp.bsky.social All MPs of the left - watch this to ask journalists to hold this govt to account. @patbrittenden.bsky.social @chewienz.bsky.social Thanks for doing it 👍
