This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.
Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

A KiwiSaver election? Oh piss off.
KiwiSaver is popular currently not because people like the idea of a nest egg, it's become the liferaft for some of us to pay our bills and feed our families now.
Fix the cost of living crisis dickheads.

Video of this train in Belgium spray painted with a message calling Israel a ‘terrorist state’ has gone viral online. Earlier this year, the Belgian government imposed sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel, before the Gaza ceasefire which Israel has violated nearly 500 times.

Who cut the $1000 Kickstarter? National
Who reduced the minimum contribution to 3%? National
Who reduced the member tax credit from $1040 to $521? National
Who then reduced the same member tax credit from $521 to $260.72? National.
Don't believe National on Kiwisaver.

this is so much of right-of-centre politics in NZ, just scolding the left for not caring about real issues like saving 10 minutes on an airport trip. who cares if the standard speed limit will instantly kill any child hit by a car, it might takes 1 minute longer to drive through this school zone
$4 BILLION to save 'up to 10 minutes' during peak traffic. Fucking hell - imagine what that $4B could do for housing, education, health, etc, in Aotearoa.

So if I am to understand this, there are people in Israel who are angry about the r*pe of Palestinian prisoners by their captors.
Not because of the actions of soldiers, but because the actions were made public.
WTF is wrong with these r*pe apologists?
