This year, all of those previous fears remained, but the leaders of the Government’s spy agencies also spoke in detail about their concerns for New Zealand’s young men.

Oddly not mentioned: support for violence against women
predicts support for violent extremism.

“Misogyny is often central to violent extremist indoctrination, recruitment and ideology and yet it mostly escapes scrutiny by policymakers.”

We should check on that.👇

Mercia's plea: Why Hawke's Bay should continue to donate to Red Cross Mercia Paaymans' family lost 20 vehicles: 'They were the only entity who came and helped'.

This is my lovely friend & former colleague, Mercia. The toll the Gabrielle flooding took on her was huge. If you can donate to Red Cross, that would be awesome, thanks 🙏

Ffs, underfunding is not under pressure and decades of evidence says private healthcare serves profit not patients. Why isn’t proper funding on the table? Does Westpac have private healthcare providers as customers? This is not an objective balanced analysis #nzpol

how can you say no poll will make u resign because you're focused on what new zealanders what, when the poll is telling you what they want?

Unfortunately the govt don't think these are mistakes.

It's a process that funnels money to their mates and results in brutality (or death!) for marginalized kids: they love every part of it, and we can see that because they keep going back despite the results.

Everything else is lies. #nzpol

Government cuts are directly responsible for people dying. This government’s thirst for landlord tax cuts is killing people.

Politics live: Christopher Luxon responds to poll result Finance minister Nicola Willis says a Labour government would be terrible for the New Zealand economy.

Christopher Luxon is horrible in a crisis.

He is an impudent toddler who is throwing his toys at journalists for asking valid questions as the world burns.

He has no empathy and no life experience and thus can not connect with every day people.

As things get worse, so will he.

Luxon: No one is talking about me

Us: Yes we are, we are constantly talking about how much we hate you. Why don't you fuck off? #NZPol

Luxon repeating the untrue "NZ has 88% renewable energy".

It has that for electricity, but not for energy in general, which is 40%.

But in my recent dealings with Chch Hospital, without knowing the circumstances fully, I'm putting this fair & squarely on successive Govt underfunding of the sector.

NZ has seen zero progress on pay equity, home ownership, sexual assault (and justice for it), medical misogyny, roles in leadership/politics.
Women earn $900K less than men over a lifetime. Women/girls are routinely sexualised and subjected to violence.
Stupid jokes are really, really not it, team.

Petrol forecourts 'profiteering' as fuel prices jump nearly 9p a litre.

Opportunistic profiteering

Companies quick to increase prices, slow to bring them down.

Govt must act. Also clawback excess profits through windfall taxes.

Holy shit. I thought this was a "funny" Photoshop at first — like, "lol Luxon is wearing a crass white baseball cap like Trump did earlier"

But no, it's a real photo. And it was posted by Luxon's team on his official social media.

NZ, particularly Wellington, is now mostly folk who can't leave for commitment reasons and people who can't leave because they can't afford to.

It's fucked.
