I too would slam my head in the desk if I had to listen to the nonsense coming out of Willis’s mouth. Tax is not confiscation. I think most of us know what confiscation actually is. Kia Kaha. Chloe. We feel your pain.

The New Zealand government made a lot of promises it can't keep to balance the budget, so it decided to just start stealing from women by removing Pay Equity laws. Post NZ women who make cool stuff please:

Part of what really disturbs me about the sudden end of pay equity is the democratic implications - National did not say before the election that they would do this. It is now being passed under urgency, the same day as announcement, with no public input. NZers quite simply have not had a say.

I wouldn't have the need if the land providing those necessities wasn't stolen from underneath my ancestors.
