Political violence is always unacceptable. It must be rejected and abhorred no matter the victim.
Being the victim of political violence does not absolve a person from their own acts of, incitement of, support for, condoning of, or minimising of political violence themselves.

So far, over 90% of respondents to this survey say the government isn’t doing enough on climate change. What do you reckon? What are your TOP Priorities for the Environment? top.org.nz/top_priorities_en…
With Shane Vested Interests Jones overseeing fast-tracked resource management decisions there will be no fish left in the sea, no coal left in the ground, and no environment left for future generations to thrive.

So National has finally figured out that ACT’s Treaty bill is toxic. Passing Ministerial responsibility to Seymour won’t do much to distance them from it though. Luxon had no idea what he was getting National into.
Has a Minister straight- up lied about what they are working on? If so the consequences should be severe. rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/5074…
