I will be there for the protest.
This has galvanised the disability community profoundly. There's been petitions, emails, letters, meetings, questioning the government and the activist groups & political parties are acting now. This will be one of the factors for a new social movement and...
Jeez, David Seymour putting on a Canadian accent while berating unions? Talk about being pathetic. https://youtube.com/watch?v=stkaorwJ6o8&si=-UVssIjlV2mVfVN9
No more incrementalism :)
Disability in politics is vital to have, same as any other background. If nobody is around to help represent the 24% of New Zealand in politics then can it be said truly to be a representative democracy? Do not imply disability to be ineffective.

Shame on Israel, good on Moldova. They should throw Netanyahu and Likud & Ben Gvir & his pet pro-settlers out. Palestinians and Israelis deserves better than this situation.

Goddamn disgusted with this shifty move. I hope these corrupt pillocks are run out of our country when the time comes. It's moments like this when you wish there was a revolution sometimes. If it can even defy the actual history of revolutions... God, I am...
A truly alarming interview of Louise Upston on welfare. https://youtube.com/watch?v=PLC40ghYpeE&si=FHnUxx6LKVGg2H1g
I would love for them never to pass a policy ever again until they learn never to be destructive munters again. Our nation and land is too important for their tawdry shenanigans.
Sorry to see you go, Jilly and Anne. I'm hopeful you both can return.
I massively support Chloe Swarbrick for co-leader of Greens. I think she's the only real successor to James Shaw and I hope she carries on the pro-disability mahi that the Greens are doing.

This article by David Farrier is exactly how I feel about the Golriz Ghahraman affair: Yesterday, Ghahraman resigned. It’s a big news story here, as it would be if any MP was caught shoplifting. These are elected officials, and we have to hold them to ...
Being tough or soft on crime has nothing to do ...
I support lowering it to 16 and enfranchisement of prisoners and more MPs because we need more types of democratic voices. If 100 years old people can vote so can 16 years old people; if you are free or imprisoned then you need a voice in society that ...
My thought: I think Golriz has done all she could have done as far as she could. She will have to have a think about her actions. Her part is done, more or less. What I want to critique is the constant media attempts to controversialise left-wing/left-...
May you all have a good day.
EDIT: Nevermind - found the link to her article!
I know what you mean, Jilly. Ardern did a great deed in declaring a lock down or two and protecting the most vulnerable amongst us the best she could have done and that was all anybody could have asked for in that time. I am grateful that she was there ...
I'm going to stay out of the matter of Golriz Ghahraman and Scottie's until all is said and done, due to the rhetoric around that being pretty off-putting. I assume nothing yet. See ya. Hopefully my break isn't interrupted this time.
