This is the mark of a fascist dictator who launches a criminal investigation into anyone he believes opposes him. America, if you wondered why Germans did not rise up against Hitler you are living it.
@DiscussingFilm
I think a film about this is actually pretty bloody tone deaf. The community of Christchurch are still traumatised by this and the Muslim community still grieving.
This project should be reconsidered.

The dog bite was distressing for all concerned. A dog, in most cases, will bite when startled, or it or it’s people appear threatened.
This dog is not aggressive by nature as has already been demonstrated.
New surroundings with lots of strangers can be extremely intimidating.

Just spoken to my brother in Perth WA. They are facing rationing on certain food items because of covid. If you think the NZ Government have overreacted to this pandemic then you’re a bloody idiot.
Be thankful for the common sense approach our Government has taken.

Americans need to be aware McConnell and the GOP are lying. What he calls socialism is not it at all. He is saying that to strip away Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP and all benefits everyday Americans enjoy. Do not buy into this scare tactic.

Excellent work to both you and the team who worked on this case. It is a shame it ever came to this in the first place.
Donald Trump is a cruel and inhumane bigot and should never have been given access to so much power in the first place.
Congratulations to

for being the first Prime Minister elect to have the outgoing Prime Minister Chris Hipkins sworn back in because you couldn’t organise a booze up in a pub.
Not this Green voter. If they say they will work with National then Labour gets my vote, it’s that simple. National are unfit to govern & are polar opposites of what the Greens stand for.
54% of voters say Greens should consider working with National
Matariki, also known as “White Fragility Melt Down Day” is a beautiful opportunity for remembrance, celebration, and togetherness.
Anyone calling it a made up festival is idiotic. All festivals are made up.

Yeah you did. Feminism rose up as a direct result of oppression from men. Men are not oppressed yet you blame feminism for not allowing men to continue to do what they’ve always done.
Get a clue. You keep being wrong. Maybe just shut up & accept Tate is a sick & twisted scumbag.
If you have not read this article yet you should. There is zero doubt that Trump has been on the Russian radar for a very long time. Any kompromat they have on him was well researched and well planned.
What on earth is the Westland Mayor on about. He just went on TV3 and said the South Island has never had a Covid outbreak. Say what now?
The biggest cluster in the first Level 4 lockdown was Bluff. Queenstown also had an outbreak.
Be part of the solution NOT the problem.
Just a reminder that free speech is not a right to a podium, a platform or a silent audience. Nor does it guarantee you will be free from criticism, condemnation, opposition or protest.
A salient lesson to
@ThePosieParker
Free speech is not without consequences.
Posie Parker is the equivalent of the trash taking itself out.
Her decision to dox and release the name of someone with NZ name suppression means she can’t come back here without facing prosecution
Serves her right.
A personal message to the Anti-vax crowd. I don't care if you get vaccinated or not. It is your right to choose your own health outcomes.

Watching the racists melt down over the news that Air New Zealand conducted an entire flight briefing in Te Reo and then English is delicious.

You know what most adults lose that we should all fight to keep? The joy of simply living in the moment. As a former HS Principal Mr James coming to my school to behave like that with my former students would have been a pure joy to them and me.

Hey
@nzherald
instead of blaming Jacinda Ardern for a shortage of Chefs (unintelligent response) why doesn’t the industry look to itself?
The chef shortage started under John Key. Was he blamed?
To those in hospitality, here’s a hint: pay more and people won’t train then leave.
Where are all the right wing trolls who attacked Nanaia Mahuta over her declared conflict of interest?
Don’t you lot want to wade in on the undeclared conflict of interest and proven misuse of parliamentary position of Barbara Kuriger?

At the Dunedin clan rally of Batchelor’s hate tour, according to the audio, an attendee stated that they hate Māori and called for their “extermination”.
Not a single attendee objected to that statement. Not one person saw it as a step too far.
Let that sink in!
Never forget this Government are actively choosing to take from the least privileged and give to the most.
They are NOT governing for all New Zealanders and that is a truism that has ALWAYS existed with National led Governments.
I'm seeing a lot of complaining from the usual suspects about Maori getting targeted funding for the cyclone clean up.
One comment was about how farmers aren't being afforded the same consideration. Are you people lazy thinkers or just determined to lie about everything?
Never forget, Te Tiriti was signed to allow rights to British subjects & uphold already established Māori rights.
How it got turned around to be seen as somehow conveying special rights to Māori was the greatest deception perpetrated by white supremacy. It’s time we corrected it!

@ThePosieParker
Firstly it’s not the place of any man to define women.
Secondly it’s not the place of any politician to define women.
NZ has self identification laws.
That means that women, ALL women including Trans women define themselves.
You DON’T speak for women OR NZers.
@Geranthrimin
You do nothing, 12 is far too young to be making those kinds of decisions. No means no and that young lady needs to understand that she is a minor. When she is of an age where she can make her own decisions she can change it if she wants.
Hey
@chrisluxonmp
sort out your ignorant deputy PM.
Women don’t get told to be silent on the Marae. Theirs is the first voice you hear & their voices are heard everywhere, even on some paepae.
Peters needs to learn his kawa instead of running his misogynistic mouth!
Common troll account theme:
They used to vote left but won’t any longer because of Labour.
I had one today tell me she was Māori (of my iwi no less, unfortunately for her) and used to work for the Labour Party.
Keep an eye out folks. That’s their new lie.
Corruption across the board. This Govt is unfit to govern.
Experts detail swathe of possible connections between Coalition Government politicians and tobacco industry; David Seymour responds
Remember when Simeon Brown wanted photos of potholes sent to him?
Now that he’s in Government he’s in a position to do something about that right New Zealand?
So keep those pot holes photos coming folks.
Time Simeon walked the talk.
I just ran into a former teaching colleague in the supermarket. She has held positions within the National Party in our province. She stated, unprompted, and I quote "what do you think of our new Prime Minister?" then followed up with "he's weak as water".🤔
@LindseyGrahamSC
Absolutely not! Trump incited rebellion. Five people died. A sixth committed suicide & it now turns out he had links to manafort & the Russians.
Healing WILL NOT occur until justice is done & all responsible are held accountable.
How dare you try to brush this all aside!
@josiepagani
@HDPA
I disagree wholeheartedly. There was a power imbalance that was manipulated by HDPA to negatively impact the interviewee. She mocked, ridiculed & spoke over top of Lizzy.
I am a former Principal. That was classic bullying behaviour. Stop excusing what was essentially abusive.

@A_RaneyDay
Yet you went out of your way to spew toxicity about bandaids because your white fragility literally can’t handle seeing a product that caters to more than your whiteness.
What a sad life you must lead if products that don’t reaffirm your caucasity trigger you so much.
@NZStuffPolitics
Oh come on. Cut this crap out. She was already scheduled to be in the US. The Aussie PM flew out to Japan.
Do your damn jobs instead of trying to create scandal. Naturally she called him.
Since when do heads of state fly out to meet each other following a political victory?
How much taxpayer money has that little stunt pulled by Winston Peters cost this country?
Having both Luxon and Seymour fly down to Wellington for a meeting that he chose not to show for and then them flying BACK to Auckland for a brief meeting is all at our expense.

, you are not the employer of NZ Principals. They do NOT work for you.
You however, DO work for them and every other NZ voter and don’t you EVER forget it you arrogant little fascist upstart.
Real leaders don’t punish kids.
YOU are here to serve US!
Seriously Brenda grow up. Shut the stall door and stop being a drama Queen.
If someone is intent on doing you harm a sign on the bloody door saying “women” won’t stop them.
If your arse is in plain view of everyone you’re an exhibitionist not a victim.
Yes!!! We undress to use the bathroom! I’m fully exposed. My butt is out. I don’t want to be in the bathroom with a strange man while changing my tampon.

@chrisluxonmp
Can you explain why your MPs used their official social media accounts to celebrate a decision that infringes on the rights of women & removes body autonomy, essentially ensuring a country with the worst maternal mortality rate in the developed world will increase those stats?
Just came across this. It perfectly describes Windbag Winnie Peters, Fascist Seymour, Shane Porn Jones, Shane Ciga-Reti and even Brian Eftpostle Tamaki!
No idea who coined this term but it is the best neologism I’ve ever seen. 👏👏👏well done whoever you are.

Rubbish. Former Principal here. It wasn’t hazing it was aggravated assault. I attended youth court for a 16 year old boy who assaulted someone with a fence paling. He got locked up.
Uffindell broke the law & admitted it.
Calling it hazing is to ignore that a crime was committed.

Under Republicans America is the land of the dollar and the home of the coward.
Shame on all Republicans, and most shame on Rand Paul. Supporting 9/11 first responders should be a damn given.
With every right we claim there are also responsibilities.
You don't have the right to claim the freedom to choose and then attempt to take it away from others.
I personally don't care if you choose the Darwin option or not, but stop interfering in the health choices of others.
It is important to realise that gender identity of only male and female is a colonial (white) construct. Indigenous people's around the world have long traditions recognising gender fluidity and the unique place that these individuals have in their communities and culture.
Are you getting it yet NZ?
If you voted for these greedy fascist jerks YOU are responsible for the cruelty and destruction this Govt is wreaking on this country.
Was your misogyny and racism worth selling the future of your children and grandchildren for?
#SelfishAF
There needs to be an inquiry into what happened on election day.
No enrolment forms in predominantly low socio-economic areas.
No Māori roll enrolment forms in areas where people could enrol.
People who switched to the Māori roll during the correct timeframe still in general.
While the intentions of this kakistocracy Govt is to take this country back to when te reo was neither seen nor heard, it's too late.
One way to tell this coalition to shove it is to learn te reo.
Free to all NZ citizens from anywhere in the World.
100% it does.
This Govt is so determined to push through their agenda for their Atlas Network overlords that they ignore expert advice.
They forget, Te Tiriti is the ONLY reason they have rights here. Breach that with authoritarian rule and it’s all on.
Amazing support for these Rangatahi. Glad the school backed down. I know the principal received multiple emails, not just this open letter.
Haka response a 'learning process' - Freyberg High principal

I’m so sorry. That would be so traumatic. Every day we look at the US and cannot imagine a country that fails its citizens so comprehensively and so often.
I hope your little girls are doing ok and your family can heal from this experience.

@MarkMitchellMP
You’re a liar and a hypocrite.
Zero taxpayer money was provided to gangs.
A Marae based drug rehabilitation programme received funding from revenue seized from criminality.
The pilot for that programme began under the National Govt.

Case in point Michael Woods resigning over $13,000 in undeclared shares held in a family trust. At the same time Nat MP Andrew Baylor had $91,600 of undisclosed shares in a family trust and he spearheaded the call for Woods resignation.
Nothing happened to him! Get it yet?

how does it feel knowing ACT are dictating Nat policy? They clearly see you as weak when they are setting such openly racist policy & expecting you to be led around by the nose.

Tova O’Brien ad-libbing on TV3 news. The PM did NOT say the elimination strategy has been abandoned yet Tova reported that it has been and that there will be no further lockdowns at Level 4 and we now have to learn to live with the virus.
That is NOT what was communicated.
Should Wayne Brown go ahead with selling shares in Auckland airport I urge local iwi to purchase them. This will not only provide a revenue stream but also prevent land grabs and asset on sell to foreign interests.

Make the complaint. Teachers should not be bringing their personal political views into the classroom. Nor should they be spouting anti-science nonsense.
Put your complaint in writing as well as asking to speak to the Principal.
I was a Principal & no way is that ok.

So where does labelling impoverished New Zealanders as “bottom feeders” sit within concern for mental health? That, after all all is how
@chrisluxonmp

Nor should we forget National cut funding to health including mental health.
#NationalNotFitToGovern
I am sick to death of seeing Bots and Russian chaos agents amplifying the Biden mental acuity thing.
From now on, any account I see doing that will be blocked.
I have had enough.
What kind of arrogant incompetence sees a party release policies to the public that were conceived in a single day, had no expert consultation, and no costings or modelling worked out prior to the announcement.
They’ve had 3 years ffs!
#NatPartyClowns
This is arrogant & inaccurate.
Very few NZ journalists managed to do a good job prior to and during the election campaign. The fact it took the CTU to expose the glaring inadequacies of this Govts policies speaks volumes. With a few notable exceptions you were all MIA.
MediaRoom column: Despite the sometimes lazy, partisan and malign social media criticism of our political news coverage, journalists served the public well this campaign
Remember the 99 year old veteran walking laps around his rest home to raise money for healthcare workers?
I don't know who did this but thank you for such a beautiful tribute to this man.
