Tax the super-rich vs cut corporate welfare: How Green, Te Pāti Māori and ACT would run NZ

Stuff asked each of the parties what their budget would look like if they were solely in charge. ACT, Te Pāti Māori and the Greens replied. This is what they said.

The real wealth story of Aotearoa and what we won’t see in any budget. Time to tax the rich. (Pt 1 intro)

Hope everyone is comfortable. Especially the ones without homes, and the ones being ‘moved on’ because they’re ‘not a good look,’ and the ones paying more thn 30% of their income in rent, or the ‘lotto winners’ in state homes.

Louise Upston 'comfortable' with rules allowing her to collect $1000 a week to live in own apartment

National MPs, with their six figure salaries, who claim accommodation supplements that are more than some state housing occupants earn in a year, stripping away accomm support for state housing tenants is some next level hypocritical cruelty. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360... #nzpol

MP Tom Rutherford reading out letters from people scared of trans people as a threat to their children shows their ignorance. Cisgender (not trans) men who are pedophiles are a threat to children. Drug pushers are a threat to teenagers. Trans people aren't a threat. #NZpol videos.parliament.nz

Shane is a misogynistic bully who throws his weight around when wāhine Māori stand against his extractive politics. I won't be bullied out of defending Ngāti Ruanui success. He’s normalised belittling wāhine because we are extremely informed unapologetic and prepared to challenge him! #nzpol

What's interesting is Maiki's statement confirms: 1. Lloyd Burr may have made the alleged racial slur to Maiki 2. Nicola Willis knew & despite it being closed a year ago, in the same week National complained about Maiki, its story was leaked by Suit & Tie & Ani O'Brien 1/2

Acting like a police state in regard to freedom of media.The Govt have shown media they will take out anyone in their way! A Min sat on it for a year raises it when the Govt in trouble. PM only fronts privately owned media. Loss of strong wāhine Māori reo speaker who was to ask the hard questions

"These are roles that have been chronically undervalued for decades. A year on, workers are no closer to justice...This isn't about one claim or one sector. It's about whether the law itself now creates a system that structurally disadvantages women." #nzpol

Formal complaint lodged with United Nations over changes to New Zealand's pay equity laws

When kaumātua see you in Tokoroa and demand you go to their hui, you immediately change your plans & listen. Māori electorates are huge, voters diverse, but guarantee kaumātua rule everywhere…love it #nzpol

I can tell you now its the cost and lack of subsidies not red tape Never once in all the time I have talked to people about solar has red tape been an issue www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Regulation Minister ordering review of solar panel installation

David Seymour said less than four percent of households used solar, despite power savings of about $1000 a year.

My seat for the day 🤣 Let’s just get them out #nzpol

Spent the day in Tokoroa with rangatahi learning about parliament watching them debate. All agreed wanted free public transport for everyone but millionaires who cd do more to help. Their empathy respect care for struggling communities is something govt cd learn from Brilliant students #proud #nzpol

Coming from Taranaki watching oil companies come & go…it annoys the !!!k out of me that this govt uses a fuel crisis to justify their fossil reliance and not invest at scale in solar on rooftops & electrify Aotearoa #nzpol

Solar panels + batteries + electric transport gives us the freedom to take back control of our energy and transport systems from dependence on oil supply chains stretching around the world, and stabilise the climate in the process.

“Burn the Bill” tonight govt passed their dumb foreshore & seabed Maca bill continuing to show how anti-Māori they truly are. #oneterm #nzpol

When Māori and women MPs are punished while Govt privilege is protected, that’s not neutrality its bias. A Speaker’s duty is to uphold fairness, not shield the Govt. If they can’t rise above partisanship, the real disorder is not on the Opposition benches, but in the Chair itself. #nzpol

Govt fails women ✊🏽 Wāhine workers should never have to drag the Govt to court for fairness. We stand with the unions, this elite Govt has failed wahine, failed unions, failed Aotearoa. #oneterm #PayEquityNow #StandWithWāhine

Chris Hipkins can deny it but the record is clear Māori were left behind in the COVID response. The Waitangi Tribunal researchers & our lived reality show the same thing inequitable vaccine rollout poor engagement & avoidable harm that’s why Māori led our own response www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
