So the supermarkets have breached Golriz’s privacy and were called out by the Privacy Commissioner.
1) Where’s the public apology and cost of damages to Golriz
2) When are these weird men going to stop obsessing over her and other women of colour in politics?

Families fight to put food on the table. Meanwhile the ACT Party and Coalition Government spent $150,000 on a 'Road Cone hotline'.
Closing after 6 months & 200 cones removed, costing Kiwis ~$750 per cone (and they gutted Worksafe - putting real lives at risk!)
We too wish this was satire ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why we need to tax the super rich more.
Their wealth is growing MUCH faster than everyone else's.
And they're using it to outbid you for real resources: housing, assets, healthcare, education and everything else of real value.

The change we need is more fundamental than a mere change of government. The fact the the present government is able to govern so undemocratically demonstrates the weakness of a system based on norms and good faith - it has no answer to bad-faith actors. The status quo is not working for us. #nzpol

The professionals who spoke at the protest, like those listed, were clear: the govt hasn’t acted on the science, or for the care of adolescents, they’ve acted on bigotry, & lives will be lost.

MUST READ: "The real story isn't about the ads you see but the power you don't. It's about the candidates who never run, the policies that never get debated, and the slow, systemic drift of our democracy away from the will of the majority." 💯
Study after study shows campaign ads barely move the needle. So where does money’s real power come from? I ranked the five ways money corrupts politics—from least to most corrosive. What I’ve learned from 15 years of tracking political money:
Money Doesn't Buy Elections. It Does Something Worse.
Campaign ads barely move the needle. The real influence is hiding in plain sight.

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.
It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.
There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

Worldwide mortality experience since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2024) shows excess deaths over that period in almost every country measured. Australia (+6%) was below average, and New Zealand (+0.1%) the lowest we measured.
