Victim blaming is supposed to be a thing of the past. Shame on @guncontrolnz.bsky.social and their co-founder Hera Cook for these tone-deaf and inappropriate comments. They both owe the family a formal apology. #NZPOLS #COLFO #GuncontroINZ

It's the anniversary of the 1927 Raglan byelection won by Labour's Lee Martin, who later became Savage's Min Agriculture 1935-41. Marilyn Waring, the great-granddaughter of the defeated 1927 Reform Party candidate, won the seat for National in 1975 #NZpols

Privatizing resources.
Privatizing resources.
A case study of how broken Ohio is….
This is the very definition of a broken system. In Ohio, we prioritize private school students over public school students when it comes to busing — and it’s all tied to our Republican-controlled legislature’s budget choices. 👇🧵

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left."
It’s between democracy and oligarchy.
The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

What I'd say to you is, yes the Northern Expy won't add to our productivity & will cost 10% of our ENTIRE capital funding for infrastructure incl hospitals & schools, for the NEXT 25 YRS but we did stick our finger in the air before committing to it

The crisis in water infrastructure caused because “… councils of the 80s, 90s and 2000s cheaped out on pipe renewals to keep rates artificially low” will be repeated in the 2030’s because politicians refused to deal with climate change. thespinoff.co.nz/politics/22-... #nzpols
Windbag: The government’s misleading case for rates caps
Pretending colourful toilets are to blame for council rates rises is like saying millennials can't afford a house because of avocado toast.

Another mayoral candidate, Graham Bloxham, has also published malicious and untrue rumours about me. These men do not belong on council. We must protect the integrity of our democracy and make others aware of their behaviour. Our city is better than this. #nzpols
