Given tomorrow's weather warning, it's looking ever more doubtful I can rally in support of the #MegaStrike, so here's my sign. #nzpol

A placard of the "distracted boyfriend" meme, with Luxon's head in place of the BF's, the outraged GF with "Health" and "Education" in text over her torso and the distracting woman in red with "Landlords" and "Tobacco" written on her.

So it appeared. I think it was mainly to keep the driveway clear. The Crown car came tearing down the street and executed a very quick 90 degree turn like the driver was playing Forza Horizon or something. I didnt even catch a glimpse of our hairless leader in the end.

A few photos from the protest against Luxon at the rear entrance to the Art Gallery in Dunedin this morning. I'd say about 15-20 were there, although there were more people at the main entrance.

Right wing governments love nothing more than to plunder the commons and engage in short-term thinking. Especially when it comes to natural monopolies. This must be resisted.

@patbrittenden.bsky.social you may wish to update your YouTube spam filter. The comments section of the video from last night is riddled with bots shilling for something.
