Neighbour tried to early vote and found out she is not on either roll, despite living in same place for at least ten years. Did not get an easy vote card. What are their options?

I’m smiling because students took to the streets for months & forced out a pro Putin RW dictator. And now the Student Win group along with other progressive parties will form a new govt in Serbia. & please don’t forget they are still protesting daily in Albania and Georgia! Power to the People!

OK if everyone who hangs out with gang members has to resign, let's do friends of pedophiles next.

Nz voters take note

She seems nice...😳

Thanks for reminding me us how our representatives  are supposed to represent us for the good of all!

Someone alert Thomas Coughlan

no taxes? I’d rather NZ political parties dealt with the fact we have 1) NO rules around lobbying 2) NO disclosure of targeted digital campaigns 3) NO limits on party donations

Worth remembering that if it costs the government $4.5b to reverse the gender pay tax, then it costs the women affected $4.5b to leave it in place.

Are you tired of Aotearoa New Zealand’s politics being dominated by racism and xenophobia? We’re sick of it, and we’re fighting back. SAVE THE DATE: 17 October, and follow our friends @workersfirstunion.bsky.social to stay in the loop. #nzpol

Fuck this guy and his media fluffing. Remember when he got drunk while on the job, called a vineyard worker a loser, did a L on his forehead and told him to fuck off? www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

NDAs in sexual harassment cases only protect harassers — ban the bloody things 🤷‍♀️

Never change, Canada

Now of course we do hope that regardless of the election outcome this isn’t picked back up again out from the Box of Stupid Ideas that this originally emerged from, but still, take the win.

Dirty Tricks. Dirty Works. It reminds me of Metiria 💔. And since then, to name a few, Golriz, Tory Whanau, Maiki, & lets not forget Jacinda. & now the dirty tricks brigade have set their sights on Tamatha & Tania Waikato.Time to shine a light on these sleazy tactics & expose their dirty work

Today it is 186 years since Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei tupuna Apikai Te Kawau gifted 3,000 acres to Governor Hobson for the establishment of Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.

Unfortunately we see our politicians captured by the narrative that all migration is bad. But what is the alternative if you're hoping to have an economy that can build roads, schools and hospitals and survive major traumas like earthquakes and cyclones? AI is not going to build those bridges.

For those in the back: The total amount the New Zealand government has spent on all historical Waitangi Tribunal settlements over the last 30+ years is less than the cost of a single year of the 2024 tax cuts for Landlords.

Waitara Foodbank posting thanks to Knox Church in Waitara, who supply them with ready meals to freeze - 300 of them today. All fresh ingredients cooked from scratch, all voluntary. This is Christian charity above reproach.

Oh dear, Florida doesn’t have any visitors again!

Just to give a idea of how serious Canadians about not buying US products. This is what stores look like now.

Is there anything more on the nose than a homeless man dieing on the doorstep of the government minister that introduce move on orders for homeless people?

Great summary. And it should be the lede in every report on this so-called deal.

Also could we do this here on Aotearoa?

Overnight Canadians have become ‘Buy Local’ consumers on a massive scale. Social media promotions, lists, spreadsheets detailing Canadian products everything from house paint to mascara. Small businesses who relied on US sales are quickly finding Canadians rallying to fill that gap. Love it.

What we DO want is simple: 🟢 Hospitals staffed properly 🟢 Homes built for people, not speculators 🟢 Kids fed at school 🟢 Medicine affordable. 🟢 Water clean 🟢 Energy renewable and publicly owned 🟢 Work that pays enough to live 🟢 Tax that's fair 🟢 Public money for public good. 8/9

Buy Canada: I found only US nectarines in Save on Foods in Victoria, at the height of the Okanagan Valley fruit season! Best fruit on the continent. Do better @saveonfoods, we’re not buying your American inferior fruit.

Turns out he was the PM that Canada needed atm.

This post is a joy & I want to add some 💗 for Canada’s amazing indigenous culture .. the art, clothing, food, carving, jewellry, music & film. Here’s one of my faves, Kali Spitzer’s stunning photography. And who can explain how it feels to land @ YVR & be welcomed by majestic indigenous expression?

I understand “ gettong the books back in shape” but the reasons for doing must be to be create funding for bold brilliant programs that secure our future, fix our social services & protect our planet. Without those commitments its all meaningless.

Do you know how hard Trump had to work to create the level of loathing Canadians feel toward the US? Well fucking done, eh🇨🇦
