NZF truly is the political party for folk who'll sell their souls for a paycheck

ACT is the political party for folk without a soul to sell

National is the political party for folk without a spine, but will sell their soul cheap

Vile, repugnant folk

Albanese must lead a strong response to the Boorloo Day of Mourning bomb attack.

After the horror at Bondi we saw that leadership on violence and racism is possible with political will.

The same urgency is needed on rising threats against First Peoples.

The TPU produced a "study" (numbers by Castalia, the firm behind Nation's foreign buyers' tax shambles) before the last election claiming that there was no urgent issue with water infrastructure and therefore no need to save ratepayers. Just bad faith all the way down.
