So cults, abuse and slavery are ok now?. How insulting for the victims. And that abuser shepherd “Christian” should not be allowed home detention.

Yes and “not a priority” is causing harm and does equate to being anti-trans I reckon. And people need to keep a close eye on what this Govt’s “ally” America is doing to their trans communities.

Young people understand how grotesque this is. vote.nz/ is the shortest url ever. I’m gonna set about recruiting voters.

It is so so vile. Sadly I was surprised she’s chosen to be so close to home.

Move On orders are so vile. Now we are criminalising some of the most vulnerable people in our community who should be receiving support. This truly exposes how the Govt and their supporters think. We need to do better. #nzpol

He can say “People work their guts out only to find that they're further behind” in one breath and, in the next breath, boast killing pay equity claims. Deregulating kicks people in the guts. It removes protections from harm.

NZTPU is a social problem that needs fixing.

Making the voting age 16 would be a great start I reckon. Getting them interested while they are still at school and creating lifelong voters !!
