Calls for formality in Parliament should remind us that Western dress codes were designed to express a colonial, patriarchal idea of authority. It's just another tool of erasure. #nzpol

Would a stricter dress code bring political order?
The clothing of our politicians has become increasingly casual and political in recent years.

Fucking cake stalls - literally let them eat cake is this miserable pack of wankers answer to the crumbling economy.

They're not even fit to run a cake stall at a Kindy let alone treasury's books.

Police culture still completely toxic.

If they treat each other like this, imagine how they treat the public.

As has been noted many times Simple Simeon has led a very insular life. I saw yesterday him being compared to the Taliban which is apt. In fact all these fundy Christian types (esp US) have strong similarities with the Taliban yet performatively rail against them.

it is clear however that we have two not dissimilar parties with two insipid leaders running close to neck and neck in the public popularity stakes.
Te Pāti Māori email: 'Not clear how many Māori Parties there are' - Labour leader
"It seems that there are a number of different segments to the Māori Party," says Chris Hipkins, "and it's unclear whether they actually form a cohesive whole at this point."

Resene’s unionised factory workers will strike this week after rejecting what they described as an “insulting” pay offer.

One union delegate said the offer of an average of 76 cents per hour extra for workers, many of whom are just above the minimum wage of $23.50, was a “slap in the face”. #nzpol

The Post, Newstalk ZB et al should note that despite their consistent and malicious campaigns against Tory and the majority of the council (and their promotion of the extreme minority) Poneke came out in (comparatively) large numbers to return them.

Israeli leaders screamed their genocidal intent at the top of their lungs all the way through.

No crime in history has been so confessed to as it actually happened.

But almost all Western media outlets suppressed this.

Kudos to @scotnational.bsky.social for not being one of them.

Hey Chris Hipkins....this is what leadership looks like. There is no place for middle ground, look at the people here who are hurting & make them the fire in your belly or move aside for someone who will.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

And Hipkin's said when PM and some workers were about to strike "we don't have a money tree". Actually we do have a money tree and it grows in a bottomless pit.

#nzpol so what is Labour actually going to do? Are you going to commit to repealing the changes if you get into power next year? Or are you just going to stand there wringing your hands as if you have no choice but to accept the massive and ongoing environmental harm this will cause?

Just watching an episode of NZ Food Story about Electric Cherries and their orchard and an ambition that NZ should become a leader in climate agriculture. All good stuff but the Govt is trying to engineer the opposite. We know that there are some who will not change unless they are forced to.

Listening to Luxon on Breakfast this morning and the ducks guts is they sought advice from a variety of sources to determine the emissions target. The climate change experts said the target should be n, the farmers said "Yeah nah, it should be n minus heaps" and they sided with the farmers. #nzpol
