To ask a pakeha majority to remove representation of an indigenous minority is ongoing white supremacist colonisation. #nzpol

My first band, 1971. Bringing country and pop to the pubs and halls of Wellington, the Hutt Valley and the Kapiti Coast. Spot the 15 year old drummer at the back! Anybody got a copy of our only record, "Moonshine"/"Mountain Dew", on the Sonic label? Would love to get a copy.

For some reason had avoided watching Bank of Dave until last weekend. Just finished watching the second one
What a lovely bloke. Genuinely surprised at the movies. Honestly don’t know now why I didn’t watch them earlier

I got a job at 17 at a good chain hotel. Zero connections. So not necessarily
However for Luxon, I wouldn’t put it past him. But I seriously hope the son did this by himself.

It's weird how Luxon's son got a job as international cabin crew at the age of 19 with the airline his dad had just spent 7 years as CEO of (did you know he used to run an airline?) which means he must have spent at least 18 months working in a high pressured customer service environment prior...

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Instead of taking up with the RNZ opinion piece, see that 20 economists from around Aotearoa have written and hand an open letter to the government asking them to change tack in the direction they are leading the economy.

Please share this letter.

Luxon and his govt have consistently prioritised landlords, tobacco industry, and their wealthy mates over and above everyone else in their legislation and policy making. This is no different.

This is Luxon rewarding wealthy business owners with a supply of cheap labour.

“The world doesn’t owe you a living,” has to be the most mean-spirited thing I’ve read in some time.

Just how many ways CAN you say, “Go and die in a ditch” to the unemployed?

In a first coordinated African-led effort at the United Nations, leaders have declared the Transatlantic Slave Trade as “the greatest crime against humanity” and called for reparations.

For Black Americans, the motion — backed by a coalition of world leaders — intensifies calls to confront slavery’s enduring costs.

If Luxon wants young people who can't find work (because the government has screwed the job market) to do training... he shouldn't be cutting training.

What a lying hypocritical piece of shit

Calling it a war now is reducing Palestinian genocide to othering of people

My quote I got removed all demo, painting and things I can do myself. Yet most definitely not anywhere near that. And I’m only doing shower, no tiles, bathroom cabinet and toilet.
