Ooh she's deliciously mean, no wonder Winston got mad (and I think he wants you to put in the paper that he got mad). Sunday Star-Times Sun, Jul 5, 2026 Andrea Vance Wel­come to the NZ First mano­sphere of the undead pressreader.com/article/2815...

Following our reporting this morning, Erica Stanford now says the Govt is *NOT* pursuing a VPN ban or restrictions. This comes after ACT made clear it would not support such a ban, and after her office did not deny it yday. We had multiple sources confirm it *was* the push.

Some shade from Spider Hoof to lift the mood, as we merrily skip towards our Matariki celebrations ✨😎 #Matariki #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ

Well well well, turns out we can fund functioning cities with thriving public services, and not scare the unicorns…. www.realtor.com/news/trends/...

"Every time there's a major event like 9/11, we don't have a massive exodus. And, in fact, the city continues to grow. Why is that? Because of what it offers. The wealthy don't move strictly based on taxes." cool, lets tax the ultra-rich #nzpol

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

They keep saying they don’t want to pass on “future debt to future generations” as their excuse for gutting our life sustaining services, but who has calculated the billions of $$ in consequential debt from NOT INVESTING NOW? I’d argue, it’s smarter to invest to need, not cut for greed. 🤷‍♀️ #nzpol #NZ

And I say this with my whole chest: The anti-trans movement is not about trans people. It’s certainly not about protecting children It is about legislating conformity It is about restricting bodily autonomy It is about erasing all free expression they find disagreeable —It is about control—

Why Labour MPs are still on X

Wait. So Luxon lied to us? I’m shocked. SHOCKED! #nzpol

An inquiry has found David Seymour’s cost-cutting overhaul of the free school lunches programme beset by poor planning, inadequate monitoring, waste and low or no nutritional standards #nzpol No standards Seymour strikes again. thespinoff.co.nz/the-bulletin...

this is actually a good reminder that you should delete the tracking nonsense off of any url that you share online. just delete everything after the ? (including the question mark) and share like you usually would

’The head of the US’s largest utility has warned that the nation could face blackouts as soon as 2027 due to the strain AI has put on the grid, saying electricity bill increases are needed to fund new infrastructure.’ www.ft.com/content/14d2...

How is it that those executives who cost the company billions haven't all been sacked? How is the C-suite still all gainfully, well I won't say 'employed'... gainfully profiting. How is it that there are never, ever consequences for falling to brainworms?

Some amazing quotes in this article about how Ford replaced hundreds of engineers with AI, which broke a bunch of shit causing billions in damage and forcing them to rehire those people. www.the-independent.com/tech/ford-ai...

jk rowling is still palling around with fellow transphobe kaeley triller on twitter, who admitted to the statutory rape of a minor under her care when she was working as a youth counsellor. rowling knows this because she blocks people who tell her

the core of the centrist freakout is “how could voters unsatisfied with the status quo choose such an extreme ideology” and man what those voters are choosing is a lot less extreme than what republican voters did in similar circumstances so idk what you guys expected

Microsoft blaming the rising costs of computer components after spending $146 billion dollars on AI investments

I took election pamphlets to Foodbank to check everyone was on the roll. It was easy & they were receptive & thankful. They didn’t realise election day enrolment wont happen this year. 1 woman was taken off the roll so appreciated the reminder. Cld you do this somewhere? #nzpol

#nzpol The NZCTU Te Kauae Kaimahi will always back plans that put working people, strong public services, and communities first. The Green’s new tax plan is a step in that direction.

We have just launched a parliamentary petition calling for mandatory AI transparency in the public sector. If AI is going to be used in the delivery of public services, it must be AI that is worthy of our trust. Sign: petitions.parliament.nz/7bfe1c60-b99... Read more: www.trustworthyai.nz

We are enduring a multi-decade campaign to portray the tax regimes NZ had for a long time, and which many OECD countries have to this day, as ‘lunacy’. A campaign run by parties whose track record on economic growth is substantially less impressive than they claim. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Oh well look at that... 😂 ✅✅ Āke, ake, ake! #nzpol

*Using better prompts* is to AI as *Recycling* is to Climate Change. Which is to say that blaming the consumer allows the companies that cause the problem to shift blame onto those who have no power in the relationship.

Laughed my arse off at Luxon describing how "wealth creators", as he calls them, will not stay in NZ. Luxon is running scared! They are NOT wealth 'creators' - they are WEALTH HOARDERS & they can fuck right off. Vote National OUT in November! #NZPol

AI has started blocking the Wayback Machine from chronicling the web. Considering that nearly 40% of websites disappear after 10 years, this will enforce a giant loss in collective memory.

Your reminder that fairy tales are full of stepmothers because women once routinely died in childbirth, from postpartum sepsis, or from other infectious diseases and left behind housefuls of motherless children. Stable nuclear families are made possible by vaccines, antibiotics, and safe abortions.

#nzpol Extremely colonised liar. What fashion of surety is ‘bits and bobs’???? They’re opening up 60% of conservation estate for disposal so they can get rid of ‘bits and bobs’. Yeah right 🤢

Ooooh boy this is scandalous and clearly corrupt. Now Luxon’s “admin error” line is proved to be a lie as well. Jones’ position is untenable #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Teenagers will find a way around a ban. If you want to reduce the harm of social media, go to the source. Regulate these platforms so they will be responsible for what they allow to be circulated. Time to email Labour's MPs. #nzpol

How could anyone with any sense expect Jobless beneficiary numbers to go down in Aotearoa when NZ govt cuts public servant jobs and govt and community funding? Flow on effects of cuts mean fewer hired NZ Gov't projected to be 44% over Jobseeker benefit target 🎯 #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Hey RNZ when you have finished chasing every conceivable edge case for this very cheap proposal, could spare some time to look at the massive $50+billion vast hole that is the govt’s transport policy?

people will continue to maintain that 'real names' will allow people to be held to account while watching the people who post appalling things under their real names not get held to account in any way because power structures

Having failed to overcome the united community response to Operation Metro Surge, Trump's toadies are now attempting to divide and conquer—purporting to support the right to protest while targeting "Antifa" protesters. Make no mistake, this is directed at all who do not welcome authoritarianism.

Today, the US Attorney's Office in Minneapolis and Homeland Security Investigations announced "Antifa" charges against accused anti-ICE protesters. In short, after ICE murdered people in the streets, they want to pretend that those who stood up to ICE represent the real threat to the public. 🧵⬇️

My main takeaway is that I want to see indictments for ICE agents who have misused their power to commit murder, assault, and rape.

The Prime Minister of AotearoaNZ was caught red handed committing a fraudulent act 2 weeks ago, and nobody on MSM apparently cares at all.🙄🤷‍♀️ #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ

💰the Richer they get, the poorer we get NBR Rich List: NZ’s wealthiest people revealed, 150 individuals, families & duos with a dubious honour of $129b combined worth.

It’s kinda tragic that confessing that you have to deliberately underpay 50% of the populace in order to reach your budgetary requirements isn’t a career-ending move #nzpol

A bunch of people still living in a West Wing fantasy world regarding situational awareness of what Western media is and where it has landed in 2026: Private equity ownership, billionaire buyouts, layoffs, editorial manipulation, protest paradigm, extractivism, clash of empires, genocide denial...

Really good news is that the BSA aligned decision with HRC and law opinion that gender discrimination is covered for all people. #nzpol

It’s wild that the Opportunity Party has a set of really good policies but make it impossible for anyone who shares those values to vote for them by saying they’re happy to go into coalition with National.

a few hours ago, a judge in wisconsin ruled that everlee wihongi's 2014 marijuana charge has been vacated. this means ICE now have *zero* legal grounds to keep her detained. please RT, and thanks for carting about this story: www.webworm.co/hugewin/

Legit the NZ press gallery constantly whining about this last election gave cover to this government to very likely disenfranchise tens of thousands of voters (via making it harder to register late). But I'm sure being able to make a call on the night (you still won't be able to) is more important.

The Gvmt is paying just 2% of its income on interest, & still wants cut backs, amid a housing and public services crisis. #nzpol open.substack.com/pub/thekaka/...

Unpopular opinion but if you work and contribute to the economy in New Zealand you should be afforded the same basic rights as everyone else including a path to living here normally because you are a person who deserves dignity SORRY FUCKING NOT SORRY FOR MY CORRECT OPINION.
