That sign deserves to be in Te Papa.

Aotearoa 2025: where Ministers kill kiwis, slash pay equity, and BlueSky whānau stand in the rain to defend the truth.

You’re a legend, Tanya.

Hell hath no fury like a wāhine underpaid

They’ve gutted the Equal Pay Act. Dismissed 33 live claims

All to balance the books on the backs of women.
One rule for the books, another for their mates

If men were underpaid for years, we wouldn’t call it saving. We’d call it theft

Unbelievable. Can’t remember, must have short term memory loss when this Govt pulled the rug on pay equity.

The Week That Was:

Under urgency, Govt rushed bills that kill kiwi, silence pay equity claims, & punish striking workers. A war on wāhine, workers, & wildlife all in one week. Meanwhile, developers laugh all the way to the bank

Hika mā!

As a Māori woman who’s been paid $10K less than a male counterpart, I know what it’s like to be undervalued. The Govt scrapped pay equity, 33 claims gone, 10yrs of silence ahead.

💰 $3B for landlords.
💣 $13B for the military.
❌ $0 for pay equity.
