The cost of capping rates sooner than required (as some at WCC are pushing) is a reduced ability to borrow to repair our already failing infrastructure. I’m yet to see an argument to justify the rush to meet a rates cap before we have to thepost.co.nz/nz-news/361086…

Christopher Luxon lied to Parliament. He said Labour had turned down the South Dunedin Future Programme last year. In fact Nicola Willis signed off its “discontinuation” in a Treasury briefing dated 23 May 2024. When will they own the consequences of their own decisions?
Would I be less of a woman if I was very physically strong or if I got a hysterectomy & my hormones changed?
Or is being a woman mainly about my vagina?
These Qs come up when trans women are called men or intersex & non binary people are debated. As a cis woman, it scares me

Bristol, we made history💚
Thank you so much to the people of Bristol Central who have elected me as their MP
As this city's first Green MP, I promise to be a strong, independent voice for Bristol's values, pushing the govt to be bolder on the issues that matter

In 2010 the whole of the public sector made up 19.7% of NZ’s total workforce. In 2023 it made up 18.8%. Claims there has been an explosion in the public sector are pure spin to justify sacking hard working Kiwis to pay for unaffordable tax cuts. This govt has the wrong priorities

It’s sad and bizarre some people are spending their energy suppressing simple symbols of the visibility and pride of our - my - rainbow community. You can’t paint over our existence. Love always wins.

I’m sad for Pōneke today. I’m sad for the result of the by election but what makes me the most sad is how few people voted for this result.
What I do know though, is that this result doesn’t represent us - next time, we’ll get out and vote for our future.
