Time to get the corrupt filthy Nazis out
This Bill could invalidate the votes of enough people to swing the next election in favour of the current government for no reason other than that they failed to fill out the correct piece of paper by the "proper" time (as defined by the people who benefit from the rule change).
Justice Committee recommends passing Electoral Amendment Bill with some amendments
The bill would prevent same-day enrolments, ban prisoners from voting, and tighten up the rules around treating.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

The media must stop changing language to soften narratives for the regime.
“Device hoarding” is people keeping technology longer because they can’t afford to upgrade.
“Maternal fetal separation” is an abortion.
“Detained by ICE” is a kidnapping.
“Barely legal woman” is a child.

Well done to those calling for a lobbying register. I’ve just read that those proposing it believe everyone in the policy advisory system needs to be on their register: iwi, hapū, whānau, small businesses, academics, researchers, lobbyists, industry advocates – the whole damn lot. I told you.
