Enabling parents to be able to spend those precious first weeks with their newborn is the best start to life, that this Government can’t see that speaks volumes of what their values really are.
We have so many bloody pressing issues on this planet, preventing people from using the bathroom they feel comfortable in is such a mean spirited petty bigotry.
Winston’s handling of this is to the right of the Labour Party so it’s an issue he has all to himself, but the simplicity of his solutions are just pantomime and make him look a bit daft rather than critical and stance taking.
…our racist justice system is destroying and hollowing out huge sections of Maori families and communities. Pora represents a system that has imploded upon itself due to its corrupted bias.
…this Government is desperately trying to keep a property bubble afloat to bribe a property speculating middle class while slashing public services for the most vulnerable amongst us.
The issue the mainstream media are refusing to focus upon is the simple bare faced truth that this wasn’t all some giant mistake and misunderstanding, this was the framing of an innocent man by the Police who knew he was innocent.

The news that our Government will only increase our pitiful 750 refugees per year by a mere 250 to 1000 is an insult to their humanity and ours.
