Thank you, Tamatha Paul, for acknowledging the atrocities carried out on Palestine during your speech on the Treaty Principles Bill. #nzpol

Hahahaha, Willie Jackson calling David Seymour a disgrace to the house, and a liar regarding Te Tiriti of Waitangi with his final words. Brownlee asking him to withdraw. Jackson says no. Brownlee asking him to leave.

Rawiri Waititi interjects saying "I think he meant David Seymour was lying down"

Impressed with Webb here, managing to say The Thing - that the Bill itself was a lie, that it didn't do what its supporters said it would do, that their understanding of democracy was shallow and didn't recognise indigenous, human or minority rights. An argument about a hundred years out of date

Personally, I will NEVER forget this moment.
It started a fire, and Aotearoa is SO much the better for it.

Imagine to have failed so badly that a whole country marched against him and 270.000 people bothered to sit down and write their opposition. It is a pretty epic failure.

Watch live: Treaty Principles Bill debate at second reading in Parliament Follow all the debate and the speeches as the controversial legislation returns to the House, and looks set to be killed, at its second reading.

Stunning truths dropping from @duncanwebbmp.bsky.social and quoting Rt Hon Christopher Finlayson. You can't legislate to make the world flat. You can't legislate the Principles of the Treaty out of existence. Some complexities and realities are too big.

If the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill had taken off with the NZ public Chris Luxon and National would have supported it.

They have made no effort to talk it down as the divisive legislation it is.

Confirms 3 parties are 1 on this matter.

Having read Careless People, I'm surprised it hasn't been talked about more. It's damning on multiple levels. (Also: Republican reps professing to be outraged about China using state power to suppress dissent is pretty fucking rich.)

Gallery applause after someone tries to start haka. Brownlee kicks them out.

Anyway a big fuck you to David Seymour. And a bigger fuck you to National to entertaining this at all and committing to still fucking with te Tiriti in other legislation.

Treaty Principles Bill voted down amid fiery MP debate The only party to support the bill was ACT with its 11 votes.

11-112 votes! The only MPs voting for the #TPB were #ACT. They must put #TeTiriti back in legislation, where removed or changed, & should foot the bill for the $6m+ they wasted. Now to get rid of the #RSB -another very nasty bill waiting in the wings #NZ #nzpol www.1news.co.nz/2025/04/10/t...

Elon Musk Ignites Online Speculation Over the Meaning of a Hand Gesture

Speaking at a celebratory rally in Washington, Mr. Musk twice extended his arm out with his palm facing down, drawing comparisons to the Nazi salute.

My thoughts on what’s to come. I got a emotional writing this, but it was important to me to share.

Holy moly. This is deeply creepy.
And very worrying given that he’s now in charge of the health sector. He has a dearth of experience or expertise, and an over abundance of blinkered ideology. What could go wrong?
