Stephanie Rodgers - Toitū te Tiriti!
Feminist, leftie, māmā. Tangata Tiriti, she/her.
- Hey just a random reminder, as the coleaders of te Pāti Māori are suspended for three weeks over a haka... David Seymour *personally* fought for the rights of anti-choice protesters to scream at pregnant people outside abortion clinics because that's the kind of "free speech" he approves of
- So let me get this straight, under the Greens' alternative Budget I would have to pay a little bit more tax... and every child in my neighbourhood could go to kindy for free? *offstage muttering* AND free dental! 😲 Will no one stop these Marxist monsters??
- Reposted by Stephanie Rodgers - Toitū te Tiriti!"What if we started taxing income at the levels they did in the communist days of - Keith Holyoake and Robert Muldoon?" Aahgg aggh im being dragged to the gulag!!!
- Brooke van Velden and by extension this whole government is currently illustrating the basic ~classical liberal~ philosophy: "what if we said discrimination is bad, but also didn't do anything about it because it would cost money?"
- Reposted by Stephanie Rodgers - Toitū te Tiriti!The Greens ask the daring question, "What if things could be better?" and "What if $11 billion went into public transport in our three biggest cities, instead of drones and weapons?" and "What if corporation tax was at the average level over the last 34 years?" and will be punished for doing so.
- Yeah this doesn't take away from the appalling actions of our government in cancelling 33 pay equity claims with no notice, but I really need people (on the left; the right are being disingenuous) to stop insisting the Equal Pay Act 1972 fixed the problem of women being paid less for the SAME job
- Sneak peek at my piece in next week's Listener: "The disagreements between the Empire and the Alliance are starkly binary and it's increasingly difficult for centrists to tread a path between them, especially as Rebellion academics cancel anyone who suggests SOME planets SHOULD be Death Starred"
- The kōtiro gets her 4yo immunisations this week so I'm having feelings about measles cases in Auckland. Please, please vaccinate your babies and speak up for the babies in your lives if their parents are listening to antivax bullshit.
- This has happened enough now that I feel I deserve a subtweet: US AMERICANS STOP ASSUMING EVERY POLITICAL POST IS ABOUT YOU, challenge level: simply will never
