this article from a couple of years ago, basically about US politics, could've been written about destiny church's weaponising of stochastic violence in Aotearoa "claimed drag queens participating in book readings were trying to sexualize children" #nzpol

Political violence always benefits authoritarians because liberals will always condemn it and authoritarians, regardless of whether they are perpetrators or victims, will always use it to claim more power.

Senate Dems should take one of their assorted gun control bills off the shelf, rename it something like "Trump Assassination Prevention Act," and force Rs to do a talking filibuster to block it

wish i could write this coherently "Simeon, I don’t actually care that you had no work experience other than as a BNZ branch worker and community/Church leader, before taking the reins of some of the most important, structurally significant, and heavily monetized portfolios in New Zealand." #nzpol

So.. We've wasted half a billion dollars /before/ we stump up for the cancelled ferry contract. And then we'll buy new ferries that do less, for more. And still have to build the infrastructure Utter madness #nzpol #newzealand www.1news.co.nz/2024/07/09/t...

Taxpayer bill for abandoned mega ferries project climbs to $484mwww.1news.co.nz In December, Finance Minister Nicola Willis announced Cabinet had declined a request from Kiwirail for more funding, meaning the iRex project would be wound down.

The worst part of neither Doocey nor Luxon bothering to read this report is that they are about to begin a new cycle of abuse in care with bootcamps. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

PM on defensive after minister admits not reading interim abuse reportwww.rnz.co.nz Matt Doocey was personally sent the Royal Commission's interim report into abuse last November - turns out he hasn't read it.

since Luxon is heading to the US next week, whatever's left of our media going with him better be paying close fucking attention to *every single person* he meets with, because if he meets with any trump associates, I'm fully onboard with a coup.

I’ll just leave this here again. #nzpol New ferries “The two new ferries would have meant double the passenger and vehicle capacity and triple rail capacity, while reducing the carbon footprint by about 40 percent.”

This will come back to Bite the Stupid Luxon.

Government maybe need to check this out before they sign Children up to Boot Camps.

Wow. A restaurant in Chicago O’Hare, one of the biggest airports in the world, banned an infectious disease doctor from entering because they were wearing a mask. This is unacceptable.

The chances of the ultimate solution this govt enacts being a) more expensive and b) less fit for purpose than the contract they cancelled are so high that you wouldn’t make a cent betting on it. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3503...

So where’s the Petition for Ms Nicola Willis to resign or be relieved of her Minister of Finance Portfolio.

Apparently Kiwi Rail Chairman handed in his Resignation last week.
