Impeachment is not some special exception from normal politics where you shouldn't say it unless you already have the votes in hand. You go out and plainly advocate what you think should be done, and attack those who refuse to do it, just like on anything else.

The real criminals are inside the base

These unhinged rants are why we should not be following the US into war. Also a reminder that Israel and the US started this war by dropping a bomb on a school full of children. Say no to AUKUS. Say no to US military payloads being launched from Aotearoa soil.

Strange days, indeed, my friends.

Turns out we actually needed renewables to firm fossil fuels for when the ship doesn't sail and the pipeline doesn't flow.

Edgelords are always whining about how you can't make comedies today because of woke. Know what might actually be hard to make today? THE SOUND OF MUSIC. How many of the handful of US studios left would be willing to make a movie about how military officers need to desert to defy Nazi commanders?

The American delusion: what didn't work with bombing will work with more bombing. IIRC Einstein had something to say about trying the same thing over and over again in the expectation that it would work next time.

Petty corruption: cultural training wheels.

Browsing around, it looks like a couple of NZ's solar developers - Rānui, Lightyears, plus Myfarm - are wanting investment from wholesale investors to fund new stuff, and I'm surprised no-one is doing this and bundling it into an exchange-traded fund so normal people can help.

I think their spaceship knows which way to go... www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

Good to see Green MP Lan Pham is also on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/lanp... #nzpol

Met some of my feijoa fans, wandering past to collect socialist fruit on their daily walk. I may hate the fruit, but I love the sense of community it builds.

First French Ship allowed to cross the Hormuz after French President rinses Trump. Luxon and Peters kissing Trump's arse is not really going to do us any favours is it team? www.nzherald.co.nz/world/middle...

See here's the thing. It was hard arguing against a department of defense. Because it's for defense. Do you not like defense? The department of War, conversely, can get fucked from low orbit. I don't need any wars. Zero conquest required. I would like none of my money going to the lies, thanks

this is an admission they're out of military targets

@dbanisar.bsky.social @georgegreenwood.bsky.social @petergeoghegan.bsky.social @mrosenbaum.bsky.social @mattburgess1.bsky.social @da.vidh.scot A few thoughts on forthcoming attempts to weaken NZ’s #FOI law and why it should be resisted. May resonate in England newsroom.co.nz/2026/04/04/f...

A few years ago, James Shaw got up and made a speech on a Member's Day about a particularly odious bill in the name of Simeon Brown. I think about this speech a lot. I am thinking about it again today. #nzpol

Chaosium Con New Zealand - Badges are now on sale! Join us in November in Wellington!

If the global community were serious about reopening the straight of Hormuz the thing they would be proposing would be sanctions on Israel that meaningfully limited their offensive military capacity. Ending the War is the most direct route to opening the straight.

Well, the real estate industry isn't really known for its moral integrity, is it? www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Andy Foster MP, one of the NZ First sponsors of this disgusting and disgraceful Bill, pictured holding a trans rights flag 🏳️‍⚧️ in Civic Square on 13 July 2021. It seems Mayor Foster had different views on trans people’s right to exist?

Collins says there are no plans to get the public service to work from home to help manage the fuel crisis. Because Wellington cafe-oner profits are more important than fuel supply #nzqt

Tangerine fascist said absolutely nothing of consequence. Nothing new. Purely an ego boosting grab of primetime eyeballs for propaganda dribbling.

Do I actually want to watch the orange shitgibbon?

On NRT: Parliament is now a hate-platform - norightturn.blogspot.com/2026/04/parl...

This bill is a fucking hate crime, and parliament is a fucking hate platform bills.parliament.nz/v/1/295e8f5e...

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

Penk almost certainly runs or directly involved in the network of sockpuppet accounts and bots that plague fb and twitter with far right bigotry, there have been plenty of clues for this but nz media completely incurious for some reason

A consequence of NZ First's terf bill is that it will only be a crime to destroy human greyhounds classic.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/2...

Parliament is a hate platform

#NZpol WHAT HE SAID WAS: “Having a strong ministerial team with real-world experience to deliver our response is crucial. Today’s reshuffle reflects that...”. BUT WHAT HAPPENED IS: Simeon Brown becomes Energy Minister and Penny Simmonds on Tertiary Edu, science, innovation and technology. JFC.

Of course #nzpol

So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

Rats roaming around #Auckland public hospitals #NZ. National's underfunding of public health while shovelling money to fancy private facilities is sickening

There is no -FUEL CRISIS- in New Zealand There are no sheep on our farms But everybody's talking about WW3 'cos everybody's talking about WW3 But we're as safe as safe can be There's no unrest in this country We sleep in a well made bed in a well made bed #nzpol #OneTerm old songs the best

Everyone suggesting we should block VPNs, even for kids, needs to take a read of this, then a long hard look at themselves.

Goldsmith being made Minister for the Public Service as well as being Minister of Justice means he’s now responsible for promoting good practice on the #OIA as well as any amendments to it. He’s also minister responsible for NZ’s membership of the Open Government Partnership. #nzpol

So how long will Iran have to keep the strait of Hormuz closed for if the US "declares victory" (admits defeat) tomorrow? Until the US economy collapses?

Iran struck an Amazon data processing center in Bahrain, according to reports, while Tehran also said it would target 18 American companies, including Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Tesla, En.Haberler reports.

“Why are you always searching for ways to turn Copilot off?”

Winston First get a taste of their own medicine. #NzPol

The US is the chief opponent of Ukraine joining NATO, because they (like Putin) believe in great power politics. The US leaving will remove their objection, and allow Europe to negotiate a better future among themselves.

we can all keep perfectly calm

Based on their response to select committee submissions and OIA requests, we can probably expect National to investigate making it illegal to email the prime minister www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...
