At this point, the kerfuffle over MP's not turning up in person has everything to do with creating another diversion to the sins (by omission, commission, or by deliberate fault) of the Coalition. Every day, a new punch to individuals, communities, societies, the economy and democracy. #nzpol

The fates have declared that though I haven't moved, I'm being bumped back into the Epsom electorate, after two terms in Auckland Central. Regardless, Chlöe will always represent me, and David never will. (Does he represent anyone but himself, we wonder.)

Even a glance through Hobson's Pledge's public statement shows that they were more concerned with self-justification than anything else. This level of division and racism is abhorrent and deceitful. I feel for Ellen and her whānau.

Nick Rockel asks "Where was Winnie in all of this? Surely there can’t have been something more important to attend to?" Clearly not in the Cook Islands. 🤔

Please could someone source the breakdown costings, and actual or even potential savings/benefits, of the things this coalition has scrapped or introduced? Then we'll see how fiscally responsible they are. Starter for 10? #roadcones...

I'm trying to digest healthy things to help heal myself from abuse.
🔸️Meaning is in the moment.
🔸️Attend to the little wins, the micro-victories.
🔸️We begin to heal when our pain is witnessed.
Ngā mihi nui to my Kikirangi whānau. We all know abuse. 💔

The school lunch debacle, with who was rewarded, who suffered, and the way it was planned and executed, says everything we need to know about the Coalition's priorities. We haven't heard the last of it. Kia kaha to whoever is still on the case. #nzpol #schoollunches

I'm delighting in #MWSecretSantaAoNZ gifting (giftees and gifters) and reflecting on how many of them forward the creativity and generosity of someone else, or facilitate the forwarding of that to others. I'm thinking #stewardship, #legacy, #aroha, #community, #connectedness, #whanaungatanga... 🙏🩷

Just saw a pride-rainbow-emblazoned AT double-decker bus, with the wording "You Are L♥️ved," sail by. I'm very glad the anti-woke sentiment hasn't wholly taken hold. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

I was yesterday years old when I realised that electorally my whare's being moved from Chlöe's electorate to David Seymour's electorate. 😱 Very distressed! Too late to submit an objection, but not to object to objections. I think I'll tautoko the relevant objections instead! 🤞

I'm still dumb-founded about "very relaxed" Luxon's response to a flagrance that would get any other public servant marched straight to HR. 🤯 #nzpol

So the Plain Language Act demonstrably a) improves services, and b) saves money without having invoking addition expense. I have to ask: is Judith Collins being lobbied, and if so, by whom?? #nzpol

From what I understand about the UK ruling, and its antipodean echo, the fundamental problem is systemic sexism and misogyny. Our most vulnerable are getting caught in the crossfire. 🥺🏳️⚧️ #nzpol #listentoChlöe
