Hipkins: "this is a grubby little bill from a grubby little deal"
"Sometimes the majority of people get it wrong - just look at this government" π Perfect line from Willie Jackson
#NZPol #ToituTeTiriti #TPB
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 An argument about a hundred years out of date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.

Happy βThe Treaty Principles Bill Fucking Diesβ day to all who celebrate! #nzpol
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.

On to opposing the Regulatory Standards Bill!
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.

10. C. Developing more resilient crops, with lower water and nutrient demands: the work on finding/breeding perennial grain crops by the Land Institute and others should be attracting much more public support. landinstitute.org
9. B. Taking some food production out of agriculture, to create a back-up system operating on different principles and less susceptible to environmental crisis. Iβm thinking in particular of precision fermentation: the brewing of edible microbes. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
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.
And one more time..

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...
I should thank David Seymour really for causing me to resurrect the phrase "hoofwanking bunglecunt".

Watch for the RSB.
Seymour can get fucked.

My thoughts on whatβs 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 heβs 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?

This was VERY interesting listening, Aotearoa, related closely to our current #nzpol situation π€
