Heh! NZ MSM (Mainstream Media) should refuse to publish Curia’s polls from now on. Oh what a joyful day would that be! I genuinely despise the psychological-political torment the use of such terribly misinforming polls that the media uses as a cudgel ...Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 6:46 pm, August 15th, 2024
I support a discrimination case too in addition to the current legal action case I mentioned. We need a better deal when it comes to the welfare and support system(s) and it sure ain't our current deal. It's definitely overdue.Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 6:33 pm, August 15th, 2024
If all the disabled and their carers and whanau turned up to protest outside every MSD it might bring home the enormity of this. That would be true :)Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 6:30 pm, August 15th, 2024
To the best of my knowledge, nobody is considering a discrimination case on the basis of these questions you are raising (though these are great questions and definitely worth raising) however, there's a legal case underway against the state regarding the ...Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 6:06 pm, August 15th, 2024
This is indeed correct and this has deeply disappointed us all in the community. Some of us are considering taking legal action against the government, some are going to write articles, some are going to phonebank and we are either organising or intent on ...Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 2:23 pm, August 15th, 2024
Thanks for the support, Patricia! As always, I'll plug away within advocacy and activist disability groups with my comrades-in-arms in order to push back at this appalling government's reactionary moves. This shifting of Whaikaha to MSD is like shoving an ...Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 2:14 pm, August 15th, 2024
This is making me feel afraid for the future as a disabled person. I shout so much and get so angry publicly because this is so damn important that we must band together against the bandits in charge lest they slip into worse quagmires of banal evil.

I appreciate you truly, Patricia You've been a true light in the landscape of the Standard for a very long time.Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 5:22 pm, August 14th, 2024
I'll miss this site for sure even though in recent times I've been frustrated at the displays of horrible politics often put forth about a minority that hasn't really done anything to merit that level of vitriol or dark mutterings. I'm sorry that I've been ...Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 5:09 pm, August 14th, 2024
Yet... National is abusing us in ways that Labour hasn't which has meant that we may die or get harmed in the process throughout this term of government. I think the coalition at its heart is acting fascistic towards people it deems "bottom feeders" and it ...Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 5:06 pm, August 14th, 2024
COVID showed that someone in the bureaucracy is aware of what a punitive shit show MSD runs when a second tier benefit appeared for middle class people, $490 odd a week, partner still allowed to work! no passive aggressive Case Manager to deal with… I ...Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 4:57 pm, August 14th, 2024
Is this true, Lprent? You're closing down the site? That's a damn shame :(Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 4:55 pm, August 14th, 2024
It is utterly disgusting how badly we are being treated on the benefit. We all should hang our heads in national shame in how we treat people who need help and that we ever voted in such a nakedly evil government as the current coalition. Labour also ...Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 2:37 am, August 14th, 2024
She was one of my reasons for going into left-wing politics. Without her vindictiveness, I would have been a placid sort of teenage person with some vague sympathies for anti-landlord politics and some drug legalisation politics, and thought nothing more ...Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 8:06 pm, August 13th, 2024
Amen!Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 5:43 pm, August 13th, 2024
Now that this is the reality: It is incumbent on us all to prevent the deaths that are happening to disabled people in Britain and any such country that is abusing its populace on the benefits here in Aotearoa. This is only the beginning: https://www. ...Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 3:36 am, August 8th, 2024
That genuinely shocked me to see. Hobson's Pledge has no place whatsoever in mainstream politics. Fuck you, The Herald for espousing such far-right nonsense.Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 1:41 am, July 19th, 2024
This is why I consider Upston worse than Simmonds - Upston has to go. She has previously said heinous stuff about beneficiaries before especially cancer patients and it may be likely that she will make that particular dream come true someday soon.Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 11:17 pm, July 17th, 2024

J D Vance will sink Trump IMO.Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 10:43 pm, July 17th, 2024
Caitlin, this exactly is why I rarely contribute to the site nowadays – I am non-binary and I am disabled and I genuinely despise transphobia or its adjacent hatreds, whether from my own side or their side. I bit my tongue so much that it's not even funny. ...Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 12:44 am, July 6th, 2024
More politicians should be more like them around the world. In a way -- Corbyn should be walking around the world by now.Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 12:39 am, July 6th, 2024
I genuinely admire him, Diane Abbott, John McDonnell and all their comrades - I can only hope UK politics improves with more people like them in time.Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 12:35 am, July 6th, 2024
Thank goodness Corbyn won Islington North!!!! That was the only thing I cared about, tbh.Written By: Rolling-on-Gravel - Date published: 10:54 pm, June 29th, 2024

This just proves that NACT doesn't even practise what it preaches: food banks are what they are supposedly all about and they're not even letting them exist? They are one level below even the most hardened Objectivist apologist. At least they call for ...
