Trump: NZ needs to double military spending
Luxon: We'll definitely do that
NZDF: We'll cut the stopping sexual harassment measures...
Make it make sense?
As a bleeding heart pinko, I am fine with this #defence spending. I suppose that is the problem.

Oh 100%
If that was the only lunch on offer for Seymour and Co the school lunches would be fixed by the end of the week.
As a leader the two things I ensure are:
- would I eat the same meal that I’m serving
- has everyone eaten before I get my meal
That’s the proper way to feed people you have authority over, whether a leader or officer or politician. Unless they’re cowards.
"Luxon says NZ must confront forces that led to mosque attacks on the sixth anniversary"

ACTIONS speak louder than slogans
Chuck Schumer is a dumbass letting that budget pass because he just diverted all the blame off Trump, Elon & the GOP it pretty much guts what little safety nets there are for poor working class Americans and his dumb ass will get the blame.
A shit load of America kids just started going hungry with no healthcare because off that dam ass cockwomble.
Wonder what the “we must boost productivity” talking heads in #NZPol would think about an actual real world example of boosting economic wellbeing. stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/1…

RIP to those 51 New Zealanders and yes they were NZers as far as I'm concerned who lost their lives to that Aussie arsehole and Fuck Seymour who still till this day brings up the idea of letting those weapons back into our communities and most importantly fuck racist.
It’s somewhat *surprising that the UK multinational corporation #CompassGroup receives #NZPol tax funding regardless whether their processed nutrition free slop lunches are delivered late or not at all.
*Surprising until you discover the contract was orchestrated by pedophile defender David Seymour.
I'm going to register a company called Cheap School Lunches LLC get a juicy check off Seymour and declare bankruptcy since old Seymour is that gullible easiest money scam ever.
We are not to remember we can come together and support each other.
We are not to remember the kids asking for a livable planet.
We are not to remember who the enemy is and how they came to divide us and dehumanise the vulnerable amongst us.
We are not to remember the power of Solidarity, diversity and Kotahitanga.
Take a minute to wonder why that is.
The March 15 Christchurch Mosque white supremacist terror shooting was 6 years ago.
That same day we had one of the largest climate protests in the country, School Strike 4 Climate.
The pandemic started 5 years ago.
It's telling that our "leadership" refuses to remember either, lest we learn anything that might change things.

So since the election, every time Luxon has been asked about a current issue like ferries, Dunedin hospital, school meals, etc. his reply has been either that he "wasn't over this" or "was unaware".
Asked today about National bombing in another poll his response was:
“To be honest, I’m just really focused on the task at hand”
Mate, if you just done that from the start then perhaps you wouldn't be bombing like this.

@strypey Every time the media reports about this programme, I want them to reiterate the entire package of damages this new programme causes: lack of nutrition, waste of food, hours spent by teaching staff to sort out lunches, loss of jobs in the communities, small businesses that had to close and environmental impact from transporting these meals hundreds to thousands of km every day. I haven't seen this last point mentioned once in any of the reports. It's a disgrace!

“The rioting that took place in the US Capitol was a disgraceful attack on democracy that has rightly tarnished those who incited and enabled the violence,” she said.
