Gosh I hope the Green Party gets their act together and capitalises on this. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Labour is a bit of a lost cause atm

I'd be more pissed off at the person that actually wrote that email my guy 😅

New Zealand media is shamelessly in the tank for Israel, and they embarrass themselves more with every article.

In the early years of my PhD I remember being asked if we'd ever treat or cure diseases like HIV or Huntington's. I remember saying maybe, but not knowing if I believed. Seeing research pay off as real impact on human lives is - incredible. www.bbc.com/news/article... www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you want to watch a funny murder mystery with a start-studded cast, check out The Thursday Murder Club. A good movie to lift the mood in these times.

NZ, led by Nazi arsekissers.

This guy was claiming last month that no kids in Gaza are starving even though Israeli media admits it's true - now he is claiming Kiwi doctors are lying and no-one is dying either. The Wright Family really know how to back a winner #nzpol #kiwi

In a time of increasing grocery prices, our GBs have been trying out a variety of butter-free, egg-free and all-around more affordable recipes! 'Depression cake' and Chelsea Winter's Crazy Italian Chocolate cake have been popping up all over our chapters, with these made by Wellington GBs 🍫🍰

I want to remain at the Council table and influence decisions that affect our community. I want to protect our progressive long term plan that we worked so hard for. I commit to giving the seat the mana it deserves. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Why are wearing hi-vis for a media briefing? Is Coughlan threatening to give Luxon a hickey?

Once is unfortunate. Twice is carelessness. Or fate. Luxury yacht sinks near Slipper Island, Coromandel, after earlier salvage just months ago www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Eat shit you xenophobic asshole.

Graham Bloxham and his dangerous behaviour is at it again #nzpol

Shamubeel Eaqub is speaking to NZEI Te Riu Roa's Hui-a-Tau about how we could have a better New Zealand. Better is possible and requires us to pay it forward. Stop believing in the myths and lusting after unicorns. What we've done for the last forty years has not worked!!

Another day in this campaign, another eg of online abuse of women candidates. I would recommend engaging with the civil regime under the HDCA, takes ages but there's good evidence of breaches of communication principles (easier than the harassment route to prevent him from contacting you & posting)

#NZPol Sound familiar?

Fred Brown recreated Banksy’s removed mural on Scarborough beach. Amazing.

"Women play cellos and violins in symphony orchestras. They're playing Beethoven and Bach. What do you mean they can't play rock and roll?" Joan Jett, born on this day in 1958 youtu.be/ksrYQhFCOpg

Have money, get a discount off your sentence for giving a mere pittance of it to charity. So, if you are rich in NZ you not only get name suppression, you can also buy yourself a reduced sentence even for extreme examples of child pornography. That’s not fair. So which very wealthy family is it?

Yes but what will the per capital number be? #RapturingAboveOurWeight

No, Stuff. Not "unproven". The word you are looking for is "DISproven", or you could use "thoroughly debunked". I would also accept "A steaming pile of horseshit" but I doubt you'd consider printing that. #nzpol

“Six thousand senior hospital doctors and dentists began a 48-hour strike just after midnight Monday, as the battlelines hardened in their long-running pay dispute with Health NZ.” #nzpol

Also, if someone is promising no rates rises or, even more bizarrely, 'lower rates' then they are lying and are not worthy of your vote.

"I can't represent their views, so I just become one individual expressing my opinion. That's not consultation. That's a sham process that allows the ministry to claim they've consulted with the sector when they haven't," she said. #nzpol

Liam hehir lied on national radio today, he said there hadn't been cuts, as a parent of a disabled child who's support has been cut by his Party of choice, he's part of a very very oppressive group of people, and doesn't follow catholic social teaching (like Willis as well)

Apparently, it’s socially unacceptable to compare anyone or anything to Hitler. Mention Hitler, and you’ll be shouted down with a chorus of “Godwin’s Law”. Well sod that. Until we start comparing Trump to Hitler, we’re unprepared for what is barrelling towards us. 🧵1/4

New Zealand media livestreaming a racist podcasters funeral is blowing my mind .... what have we come to - oi vey 🤯

Privatisation = Thames Water & US-style healthcare. Pass it on. #nzpol

When privatisation is on the agenda, the question needs to be asked? #nzpol My power bill is unaffordable now, what will happen to my healthcare if it’s privatised? Profits as the driver for essential services is always a disaster.

#nzpol Do we have to do this all the time? beehive.govt.nz/release/20-mil… It’s not new funding. “the initiative will be funded from Health New Zealand’s baseline”. So it’s actually being cut from somewhere else. We already underfunded the health system at the Budget. This is a further cut

For every fantasy Spanky has about elevating NZ to some sort of shrine to Ayn Rand, there's a graph... Yeah businesses rock, rah rah!

I want to emphasise the importance of anyone with a progressive or even a fair-minded bone in their body in the Wharangi Onslow-Western ward giving me their first preference. Please hit up friends in Karori, Ngaio, Wilton, Northland, Wadestown, Khandallah etc to check they voted

So Simeon Brown just announced $20m "investment" in ED frontline staff, immediately after it was revealed Christchurch hospital is in code red every single day. But it turns out it's just OLD money from the 2025 budget & already allocated. Brown strikes again #nzpol #Kiwi

Yet another indictment of the current government’s decision to host an FBI base in New Zealand - this is disgusting and anti-trans extremism has absolutely no place here. 🏳️‍⚧️

Whānau Please don’t vote for this racist twat, Nigel Elder, in our Wellington Regional and local elections Oh and don’t by ‘The Elder’ wines… #nzpol

“Nobody voted for Rogernomics 41 years ago — the free market failed our people in the 1980s and it is failing us today. The legacy of Roger Douglas must be torn down root and branch. It is time to end the era of neoliberalism once and for all.” open.substack.com/pub/elliotcr...

Remember when National MP Joseph Mooney tried to get a Massey academic fired just for pointing out we don't want American politics in NZ and to beware of those that want it? I do. #nzpol Joseph Mooney

i don't think anyone who's even roughly half my age understands how extremely fucking transphobic white colonialist culture is in New Zealand not Aotearoa, btw, we're still running two cultures here i'm a late 50's child, it's fairly mild now, rapidly getting worse again ta, ACT NAT NZF #nzpol

#nzpol “I think this government needs to stop and really take a look at the people, and work for the people that they're representing, because they're working for their big buddies with big money, they're not working for society.” www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

#nzpol “[CTU Secretary Mellissa] Ansell-Bridges said this was "more than a protest — it is a celebration of the women who nurture, lead, and resist". "It honours the suffrage legacy and amplifies our collective power to shape the future." www.1news.co.nz/2025/09/20/p...

The decision as to whether an oil company is responsible for the costs of decommissioning an old field now rests entirely with Shane Jones. Taxpayers previously had to pay $300m to decommission the Tui oil field after the owners onsold it to a company that then went bankrupt.

Better Wellington/independent Together not even managing to switch to the right Facebook account to claim they’re not the same organisation is some kind of performance art, right?

This is both sad and funny. Hilarious how bad they are at politics. #nzpol

So Ruth Richardson & Roger Douglas want Nicola Willis to adopt the Liz Truss libertarian playbook, even though its failed. everywhere And Douglas wants David Seymour to take her place. What could go wrong with the Atlas Network (NZI/TPU) formula? A lot - as every country they touch knows #nzpol

An ever-so-casual reminder that the bill for the leaky buildings deregulation fiasco is around fifteen to twenty times larger than all Tiriti settlements either finalised or in progress put together. www.1news.co.nz/2025/09/20/m...
