I've gone barking mad, and I'm taking part in the PAWGUST challenge to raise funds for Blind Low Vision NZ Guide Dogs. Rain, hail or shine, this August, I will be pounding the pavement! Please support my challenge by donating today! pawgust.co.nz/s/66619/78357/…

In my 14,671 days on earth, LGBTQIA2S+ folks have caused me exactly 0 problems. Can’t say the same for billionaires.

1/ Seymour claimed 150,000 more kids attending school regularly. John Gerritsen @RNZeducation checked the math. Actual number: ~135,000. But even that's misleading. The school roll grew so ~65,000 of the "improvement" is just more kids existing. But wait, there's (a lot) more 🧵

They won’t subsidise electric vehicles, won’t give people cheap public transport, or spend a penny on cycle ways. But Robbie Williams concerts, open the govt cash spigot: rnz.co.nz/news/business/5900…

Doesn’t include homicide, family violence, abductions, kidnapping etc. Cherry picked. Look up Police stats.

When I met with @IKEA representatives a few years ago, they spoke positively about their preference to work with mana whenua and Māori, they were actually looking forward to it. They celebrate that IKEA engages with Indigenous communities globally. Most people aren’t anti Māori.
Great to see IKEA finally open its doors in Auckland. But we've made it harder for IKEA than it needs to be. IKEA had to jump through layer upon layer of resource consent requirements before they could even start work. The screenshot speaks for itself.

ACT protected Jago by sending complainants to their lawyer rather than the Police.
Supporters of the party that protected a pedophile with a 30 year offending period are telling you that teachers are a danger to students.

It's almost like she knows less than FUCK ALL about education and how the system runs. I mean she couldn't work out NCEA, so why expect her to know that TEACHERS DON'T SUPERVISE EXAMS and IT'S STUDY LEAVE. DAMNIT ERICA!!🤪
nah we’re actually pretty supportive of the incredible professionals doing the mahi all year round for our kids

Our Minister of Education, Erica Stanford, is either ignorant of the fact that teachers aren't involved in the supervision of exams or she's deliberately pushing misinformation to create backlash against teachers. Either way it's pretty embarrassing.

This should be the headline of the story. Instead, it's buried at the very end.
