There are few things that force me to gasp anymore.
My black cynical splinter of a heart is so jaded at this stage, the only thing that makes it feel anything is ‘Welcome to Wrexham‘, but sometimes, just sometimes the astonishing audacity of another manages to cut through the numbness of Late Stage Capitalism on a burning planet and force ny being to ignite.
Nicola Willis’s op ed yesterday that was desperately attempting to garner sympathy from us because other woman had called her mean names was such a moment…
Pay equity: Enough with the slurs, now for some facts
Nicola Willis is the Minister of Finance
OPINION: Having the C-word directed at me by a journalist in a mainstream publication wasn’t on my bingo-list for Mother’s Day 2025. Nor was being accused of “girl-math”.
But there you have it, that’s what was thrown at me and my female colleagues in a recent newspaper column as hopelessly devoid of facts as it was heavy on sexist slurs.
…Let me see if I can get this completely straight.
Nicky No-Boats, the ideologically driven wicked witch from the NZ Initiative, who is amputating the State with the sort of gleeful intellectual vandalism that David Seymour orgasms to, THAT NICOLA, is sad sad because some other women called her mean mean names after she has literally – not metaphorically or figuratively, but LITERALLY take billions directly out of the pockets of working women in an abuse of process that was so extreme, they announced the cuts and then simply rammed them through.
She’s sad sad because other women called her mean mean names.
Mean names that are completely fucking acceptable when you consider the damage Nicola has caused all our mothers, sisters, wives, girlfriends, cousins, Aunties, mates and friends so she can afford tax cuts, Tobacco subsidies, rich Landlords and the bloody Military!
$200m for Tobacco subsidies!
$3Billion for rich landlords!
$14Billion for tax cuts!
$12Billion for the Military.
But no money for working women who were engaging with the process to enable their pay negotiations that were redressing historic sexism and continued neoliberalism of those workers rights!
Instead of actually having any sense of the damage she has caused, she’s suddenly the easily triggered Karen demanding to see the manager because she’s offended.
FFS!
These right wing arseholes are causing enormous social carnage with their punitive cruel social policy that is hollowing out public services and ensuring their rich donor interests are implemented as economic policy, and Nicola is sad sad because some woman called her names?
These right wing free speech champions are a joke!
The only reason National are suddenly talking banning under 16s from social media and crushing boy racer cars is a desperate attempt to change the topics from their war on working women, but the sheer number of workers involved in these Pay Parity claims was almost 500 000, so the anger will not dissipate even if they flood the media with these issues.
Nicola is on no position to play the wounded Karen.
Senior Journalist Andrea Vance wrote this about Nicola Willis and her decision to kick working women…
“Turns out you can have it all. So long as you’re prepared to be a c*** to the women who birth your kids, school your offspring and wipe the arse of your elderly parents while you stand on their shoulders to earn your six-figure, taxpayer-funded pay packet.”
…Andrea Vance can’t be more wrong!
After the social carnage this wide eyed free market fanatic has caused New Zealand for her austerity budgets, you simply can not call the Nicola Willis a c***!
The Finance Minister lacks the depth and warmth for that!
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Nicoliar is a whimp, Jacinda Arden received many death threats, some of which were of concern to the State Security Service.
Jacinda also was abused in the foulest terms on social media in his by thousands of Natzo and Act supporters, Ms Willis homies.
Jacinda quit.
Dame Jacinda to you Bob Troll and Jacinda left politics due to death threats to her child.
Once again you simply make troll shit up to suit your biased right wing diatribe.
Just like Key eh!
Im sure you would have been happy to have your daughter rapped by a gang from the river of filth .No doubt you may well have been lining up to take your turn .
Free speech being promoted by a Marxist is unbelievable.
Free speech being promoted by a Capitalist is unbelievable.
Poor poor Nicola et.al what did these government women seriously expect that women lie down take it and tell Nicola Willis et.al to go and have a nice cup of tea . She knows she’s made the biggest mistake in her political career and women will never ever forget it
“LITERALLY take billions directly out of the pockets of working women in an abuse of process that was so extreme, they announced the cuts and then simply rammed them through.”
Thankyou for calling it what it is. Not savings to plug Nicola’s big budget hole, but theft of wages of hard working kiwi women to sate the greed of landlords, tobacco interests and fat cat political shrews who are guaranteed 10% pay rises for eternity.
The only positive out of all of this is that we know where women’s votes will go now and it’s not the right bloc.
Willis lacks the intelligence to accept this is all her undoing.
I have said it multiple times, this Coc is morally and financially corrupt.

Now just watch Mark Mitchell become Karen!
Mitchel said he would resign in october if numbers noy achieved and crime is not reducing so double wammy
Well all I can say is:
Nicola Willis has one. Christopher Luxon is one, David Seymour is not a thorn in the side of government, just a prick.
Quote of the day bro sums them up nicely
Obviously Martyn is braver than me and actually read her article. I clicked on the stuff article as the headline was a bit ambiguous but the first couple of lines were enough to show that Willis wrote it so I didn’t bother reading any more. I don’t use bad words but you can be sure that I don’t expect any positive news from her.
Both Willis and Seymour are singing that the country is approaching its debt ceiling. Alas, the Nact must have borrowed too much, $4billion for landlords and the $1billion ferry build penalty clause, but it’s all ok, 150,000 women are stepping up to fund the bailout.
My dad used to say c***s are useful ,in this case he is so wrong and he would have to agree .
The problem with Vance article is that nobody in the NZ media is talking about pay equity – instead every headline and discussion is about the use of appropriate language. This was an own goal by Vance – she handed the government an out – on a silver platter.
