    CW: NZPol Pay equity

    "Almost a year ago, on May 6 2025, the Government announced it was using urgency to alter the historic pay equity process agreed to under 2020 amendments to a long-standing law, the Equal Pay Act 1972.
    It's hard to put into words how devastating these amendments were for working women in Aotearoa."

    "The clip of the USA Men's hockey team yukking it up on the phone with a rapist perfectly encapsulates how men keep kneecapping themselves with toxic masculinity.
    ...
    All these men had to do was remember they're paid to be role models and be gracious. ...
    ...
    Alas, toxic masculinity is, well... toxic. It's like sludge. You can't hide it; it always finds a way to foul a room."

    What has David Seymour’s response to the #hīkoi been?

    "He had a tantrum and introduced the bill two weeks ahead of schedule. So, yeah, he’s nervous that maybe #Aotearoa isn’t as racist as he thought it was."

    CW: NZPol Wealth Tax cuts and other cuts

    I’ve been thinking a lot about poverty. And the rich getting richer.
    ...
    I wanted to really lay out who will pay for this extravagance. The Government’s attacks our country’s most vulnerable are happening at such a frightening pace that it can be hard to even fathom how much has been taken from us to line the pockets of the already very wealthy."

    CW: NZPol "Deserving Poor"

    "We’ve been talking a lot about the election and how bloody brutal it is on anyone who gets Government support. There’s also been a lot of talk about ‘the deserving poor’. Helen wrote about what it feels like to be the one who is being talked about, and the one whose life is at the mercy of political parties that loathe anyone who seeks Government aide."
