Political corruption
The bombs fell on a girls' school. Eighty-five daughters of Iran will never come home. And Winston Peters "monitors the situation closely."
"They weighed the bones of our mokopuna and called it a surplus — while the kura that should have saved them stood empty, their doors padlocked by the same hands now clapping at the press conference."
Political corruption
They slashed 7,000 public sector jobs. They watched unemployment climb to a decade-high. Then they built a traffic light system to punish the people they threw out of work for not finding the jobs they destroyed — and called it "accountability."

Sixty-seven years. One man. One truth the state spent seven decades trying to bury: the justice system does not fail Māori — it was built to consume them. And now a grinning Prime Minister is feeding the machine faster than ever.
They built him a throne of emergency powers. His own judges kicked the legs out. Now $142 billion in stolen revenue sits in a constitutional ditch, and the man who promised to make America rich stands naked before the world
They beat te reo out of our mouths with leather straps. Now they legislate it into silence with two pages of colonial paper. The weapon changed. The war never stopped.
