If we still had a Labour govt we would still have - a construction industry, new Ferries next year, a public health service, clean rivers, new schools, low unemployment, low inflation, apprenticeships for our young, a failed business model for energy but a chance of a future.

Justin Tipa, Chair of @NgaiTahu says it’s "overwhelmingly clear" that it's "no longer the coalition partners thumping their drums, but a National Party that is 100% behind anti-Māori legislative changes. They’re leading those changes." @etangata #nzpol e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-…
My local MP told me that these changes wouldn’t affect people on Supported Living Payment. Louise Upston has made a liar out of him.
This is cruel. How do we stop them?

“Not sure”
Such a callous answer to “what happened to those 1500 people who had their benefits completely cut?”
Followed by an assumption that only a small % have kids.
Unemployment is rising and so are benefit numbers but govt is pointing more fingers at those doing it tough.

How the fuck did we get to a place where the Minister for Arts and Culture invites dignitaries to a Matariki - Matauranga Māori celebration, but orders his minions to remove ALL Te Reo Māori from the invites? An official language AND the original language for Matariki? WTAF?

Hiring freeze on all graduate nurses into the hospital system. Thanks National. Let’s just watch our nurses leave.

First they scrapped the First Home Grant, then they chose not to fund the 13 new cancer treatments they had promised.
Now it's workers' sick leave that looks to join National's growing list of broken election pledges.
How many more campaign lies will Luxon be exposed for?

Go Kieran. He doesn't accept putting English as the man to head KO as independent. He was responsible for selling off the most.
At last, someone said it.

Imagine thinking that the needs of landlords and other wealthy NZers are more important than speech and language therapy and educational supports for kids with disabilities, refugees, and migrant kids.
Is there a list of all of the repeals, cuts, redundancies, stripping of rights that the Government has done so far? #nzpol because it’s really hard to keep up when awful things are happening every day

The public sector jobs cuts are causing deep anxiety, guilt, trauma and even emotional collapse for people - all for the sake of a tax cut and a windfall for landlords.
It’s not worth it and we will all pay the price for many years to come.
