… give it to the electoral commission, have it run like a general election, look at online options, more education and tools for councils and candidates, much better and more media coverage, a uniform voting method and some better accountability tools for candidates.

I think I hyped this already but if you haven't checked out the album Nogom Nikamowin, you NEED to. It dropped September of this year and afaik is the second ever contemporary music album in Algonquin after Samian's album Nikamo. It's folk-indie-ish, but it's pretty diverse.

this is beautiful! he aataahua teenei!

to be clear it's good greyhound racing is going away it's just so strange to see an opportunist prattle about his moral centre when it's basically the only time he's showcased its existence

so weird seeing winnie stand up for greyhounds like what about the horses winnie what about the horses

I know Erica Stanford and her office, Elizabeth Rata, and Michael Johnston have had this sent to them by an irate educator.

The accusations I make are heavy: someone erased Māori and Pacifica authors from the curriculum at the last minute.

I have had no push back.

Make of that what you will.

Pleeease make time to vote today if you haven't already 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

local elections are almost over please vote / don't let landlords and racists decide ur future

had the lyrics of Melbourne's Pureora explained for us in reo class the other night and yeah I'm inclined to agree. incredible songwriter and lyricist.

If Winston truly believes Chlöe is responsible for his broken window then logically it follows that he must be accepting personal responsibility for every single death threat made to Benjamin Doyle and their whanau.

This has been the vicious fucking thing about the "Jobseeker Benefit" ever since Paula Bennett coined it in 2013

In addition to keeping people in poverty it's been a term of propaganda forcing us all to accept the frame of welfare as economic obligation instead of social support

Good to see this angle is being picked up. What hapless policy-making.

refusing to recognise Palestine statehood wasn't enough for Simon Court; now he wants to stop MPs from using the word genocide to describe...GENOCIDE. fuck this guy and fuck the 'Free Speech (except when we don't like what you're saying)' ACT party.

like, run some sentiment analysis on the replies to politicians, and without even having done it, I can tell you right now how wildly out of sync the replies will be.

should tim jago's victims have been safe? David Seymour protected their rapist because his name being public would've "been a distraction in the run-up to the election". And he's the deputy fucking prime minister.

Aotearoa: there's been at least 21 people in hospital with covid PER WEEK (if I'm reading this correctly)

Please keep up to date with your covid-19 booster vaccinations, if you can

I'm currently recovering from my 2nd bout. Being boostered & masking helped reduce my risk of being hospitalised

just rolling my eyes and chanting capital requires a reserve army of labour to keep the worker down over and over again

Any discussion about political violence, & this event is going to be *milked* for that, must as a matter of context include discussion about the rhetoric of NZF and ACT & the impacts it has already had. This is pure projection from Peters, no one in leftwing spaces is even close to either of them.

Still waiting on Peters to apologise for inciting violence against Benjamin Doyle.

also to the dumbass who thought it was cool to undermine all the peaceful protest by smashing a dickheads window - if you're not a right-wing plant then what are u doing

greens somehow being blamed again what a fucking joke

"The world doesn't owe you a living" - Christoper Luxon - who continued to claim $52,000 tax free taxpayers money for not living in his 2 official residences, saying he was "entitled to his entitlements".
Luxon finally relented after Newstalk ZB listeners criticised him #nzpol
