Malicious compliance with dress standards should also look like constant points of order about the Speaker not wearing a wig, or his tie being crooked, or Luxon looking like he's wearing a blue sack.

I didn't realize Sabine was over here, but when I looked at her feed ... she endorses the "low white birthrates" stuff, in addition to being anti-trans and friends with noted sexual harasser/friend of Epstein Lawrence Krauss. So, I recommend blocking as fast as possible.

The Compost never miss an opportunity to slam her and rehearse an inaccurate account of her term. And what is ‘ousted’? Outed? She lost a race fair and square. Surely that’s it. Tiresome and loathsome #nzpol

LOL! Like Bitter Wellington/Independent Together also got basically no seats. Ray Ching is only slightly ahead of 4th on provisional votes so may still get the boot.

The Māori ward election was epic - on preliminary results it was over 67% in support. For WRC, it was 63% in support! A super majority rejection of ACT, National and NZFirst’s racist bullshit.

So the “protester” who broke Winston’s window was actually burgling his house? Maybe he should complain to the government about crime rates rather than falsely accusing the Greens. #NZPol
