The only thing that grows the economy is people spending money and the only way people spend money is if they have more money and the only way to have money is spend less of it on housing, food, power (basics). Nothing in this budget will make us spend less than last year. K bye.

There's some organised right wing lot to take out Wellington council, install a commissioner, in order to privatise Wellington Airport. It's all there in plain sight and it is cos someone powerful out there is mad they can't buy the airport.

In what's far more resonant, & poignant today than it was then, my research surfaced the virality of images of people had come out onto Gaza’s streets in solidarity with the victims of the massacre in New Zealand. A shared humanity, highlighted by Gazans, remains a valuable lesson today.

There’s a very real effort to rewrite NZs early COVID experience. Let’s make sure the enquiry don’t just hear from those who’ve fallen for disinformation!

US healthcare is so broken. It's the second-biggest COVID wave so far, and patients have to call individual hospitals to beg them to reinstate masks.
Meanwhile, the Spanish government simply overruled right-wing anti-maskers and made masks required in all hospitals nationwide.

At the centre of the surreality of the situation is this: the Climate Commission report was written for a government with a distinct vision of what the climate response will look like, but it has been received by a Government with no clear picture of the future.

Among the Government's first actions on climate, spelled out in the 100-day plan and coalition agreements, are moves that directly conflict with the Climate Change Commission's advice
