Showed this to my husband with no context and his response was "what country is this?"

Fooled him. Would have fooled me.

Holy shit is democracy screwed.

I honestly believe all govt MPs should shadow all roles under their portfolio affected by decisions made by them for at least a month before they are allowed to make or change policy.

They've got the time to fly about and gloat their success in press stand ups, they have the time to do this.

If Simeon Code Brown thinks it's easy being a doctor how about we put a white jacket on him, stethoscope and protection garments and tell him to work 12 hour days.

Fucking idiot

Send him to work an ED for a day, or ride with an Ambo all the way to ED.

But that probably wouldn't even change his mind 🙄

Just to be an "Um, Actually" 🤓 idiot for a second but the phrase "you might not do politics, but politics will do you" is a rephrase of @philipdefranco.bsky.social 's

"you might not fuck with politics, but politics will fuck with you".

Credit where credit it due 😅

And funny that our current govt MPs in power are NOT having open conversations online about their enshitification of our country. Esp on the international stage.... All behind closed doors and expensive business conferences with them.

You won't find anyone as passionate and genuine about politics, good policy, fighting a broken system and wanting a better life for all than Chloe in NZ.

So good to see her make the most of being overseas to show #enshitification is a global issue!

"we've made $100m in savings, what do u want to do with it?"

"we're going to build more classrooms than labour did!"

Anything but give teachers a pay rise, incentivise new teachers and support them how they've requested.

Erica you're an idiot.

Again, general strike when?

Cynethryth @cynethryth.com · 23d

I just feel like with the government's take on Gaza and the strikes happening for our medical services, things might actually be reaching a boiling point in NZ. Like, and don't think the water's boiling over quite yet, but I think it's getting closer.

I have never been more ashamed of my country than now.

Both the prime minister and foriegn minister are living in a fairy land. This was their springbok tour moment, their nuclear free moment....and they fucked it.

I will not forget this
