NZ's soon-to-be-former deputy PM Winston Peters has been sucking up the Trump cool aid. He wants to wipe out ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ & remove “woke DEI regulations”.

“This Bill would put an end to the woke left-wing social engineering & diversity targets in the public sector. NZ is a country founded on meritocracy not on some mind-numbingly stupid ideology.”

Old man throws toxic scraps in the general direction of his cooker voters.

The Wages Theft Bill raises sharp opinions across New Zealand https://www.byteseu.com/782965/ #EMA #ERA #LabourParty #NewZealand #NZFirst #TheCrimes(TheftByEmployer)AmendmentBill #WageTheft

NZFirst are channelling their inner-Trump & doubling down on Shane Jones' attack on immigrant MPs.

Winston Peters reckons Green MPs Lawrence Xu-Nan and Francisco Hernandez should "show some gratitude" for being in New Zealand. Negativity, meet ignorance.

And where's our PM when he's needed? Is he terrified of criticising his coalition partners, or is he just way out of his depth again?

Xenophobes Peters & Jones truly are yesterday's men.

Winston Peters is at the Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is in attendance & issued a "global SOS to Save Our Seas" from rising sea levels, calling it a "crisis entirely of humanity's making" and "a worldwide catastrophe putting this Pacific paradise in peril".

Winston is the *only* climate denier in the room. The cooker coalition has embarrassed NZ on the world stage, yet again.

Alternative headline. Instead of

"Costello brushes off revelation tobacco giant Philip Morris targeted NZ First"

how about "Costello stubs out big-tobacco corruption claims".

Our associate health minister Casey Costello is a bobble-headed clown.

RNZ has discovered that in 2017, Philip Morris targeted NZFirst (the weakest link) seeking favourable terms for its heated tobacco products. Former Taxpayers Union chair Costello duly obliged, setting NZ's smokefree plans back by years.

Like most of the coalition cabinet, Costello is out of her depth and up to her armpits in corruption.

And evil. I almost forgot evil.

Shane Jones is a blustering fool. In a May meeting with his seafood industry mates, Jones demeaned High Court Judge Cheryl Gwyn, who has awarded Customary Marine Titles to Māori. Jones called her a “Communist Judge”.

The Cabinet Manual states that ministers should not express any views... reflecting adversely on the impartiality, personal views, or ability of any judge.

Luxon "doesn’t believe it is a Cabinet Manual matter".

Meh!

If you ever need proof of how #illiterate English speaking #pākehā can be, just hop onto #Facebook, and read the complaints on ANY post made by the #NZCivilDefence. Majority will have profile pics showing support for #National, #ACT, #NZFirst, and #Groundswell.

It has been said that #NZFirst MP Shane Jones plays the stereotypical corrupt politician.
Thinking of which infamous villain character Shane Jones most reminds me of I find myself thinking of Aloysius O' Hare from The Lorax.

Being budget day for our #NZPol government we will see more of our country’s wealth be redistributed to the richest people and further austerity measures being used to punish the poorest. It’s important to understand this is #neoliberalism working as the #AtlasNetwork, #TPU #NZInitiative, #Act, #National & #NZFirst intend. I recommend watching this interview with George Monbiot to better understand what neoliberalism is.

The coaltion of puritans rages on. We all knew Luxon had it in his wheel house but then Seymour and Winnie... well they've tossed their 'freedom' and 'libertarian' ways to the side. With an ease that suggested they never cared about freedom or the individual in the first place.

BE WARNED #NewZealand

The Tories who are responsible for privatising England's #3waters have also been advising our #National #Act #NZFirst govt on NZ's 3 waters reform. The one legal collective defense Aotearoa still has against privatising or foreign ownership and control of NZ water is te Tiriti o Waitangi principles.
