Study of ~700 videos on this account very clearly bring out that it isn't a 'grassroots political movement' by any stretch of imagination. The account is in effect a propaganda channel for NZ First, and Winston Peters. #nzpol

Same with the diabetes drugs special authority criteria, taking away ethnicity. Deadly. #nzpol

GOOD NEWS! Amivantamab has demonstrated unprecedented results in an international trial for cancer patients whose disease has become resistant to chemotherapy AND immunotherapy. Tumors shrank in OVER a third of participants, with 15 patients experiencing COMPLETE eradication of their tumors.

Oh, so everyone thinks Hanson & her band of aging sov-cit cookers will run Australia better (with racism) for the regular Aussie (coal billionaire) battlers, say a bunch of dubious polls on corporate media sources owned by (or bullied by in the case of ABC) fossil interests. I'm not buying it.

Ha ha! They didn't focus group that one and now they're having to 'walk back' their comments. #nzpol #Dropkicks #Dickheads

NEW: lots of you have sent me this article asking for my thoughts. I’ve been able to confirm it. Just as she says, Trump’s administration is staging vote.gov on a non-government cloudflare account under the EOP where there’s no oversight or accounting. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/thedreyd...

I was heading out to do some phone calls for the Greens last night and I saw a bunch of young peeps marching down the Terrace, holding signs and heartily chanting. They were heading towards parliament. #nzpol

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

Jo Cribb, the former head of the Ministry for Women, says the ministries most at risk in the public sector restructure are those that exist precisely because mainstream agencies failed to deliver for the people they represent.

We have to vote these wreckers out.

Holy shit. This is quite serious. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

..it appeared the Prime Minister's office withheld a document that now showed direct lobbying of PMO staff by the defendants in the Smith case. The document only came to light due to "discovery obligations on the various corporate defendants.

📢 Sunday 24 May 📢 outside Te Papa 📢 12pm - 12:30pm Really important that this rally is an unequivocal demonstration of numbers by *non-public service workers* and We Will Not Accept This Shit in the lead up to Budget Day. (Tamatha Paul posted on IG she'll be there & believes it is crucial.) #nzpol

Politicians endlessly blame immigration for their own failures. So, when immigration is reduced, their ‘success’ isn’t recognised. No one’s life has particularly improved. Because no one’s life was ever going to improve by reducing immigration. Because our problems were never caused by immigration.

I've heard that some of the property buying and development he's undertaking is quite fuckin' weird too, btw

With the drive by Nact to replace public servants with AI tools - or to use this as an excuse to employ fewer people, we really need to be drawing the attention of decision makers to content like this - and the example of California in making laws to protect workers. #nzpol youtu.be/aooiDA-AsNo?...

The amount Upston claimed last year was $52,000, on top of her $320,600 ministerial salary. Upston says her crack down on poor people acquiring accomodation help is about being fair. But tell me, do you think its fair that Upston herself takes an even larger suppliment at the same time?

Submissions are now open on the terf bill. Let them know you hate it. www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

National MPs, with their six figure salaries, who claim accommodation supplements that are more than some state housing occupants earn in a year, stripping away accomm support for state housing tenants is some next level hypocritical cruelty. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360... #nzpol

Tbh, isn’t this also the current Government’s policy and approach to everything. Shiny on the outside a hazard on the inside. #nzpol

What an unforgivable lie from Nicola Willis as she hands landlords more $$ of taxpayer money, as if the over 2bn they’ve already received from Govt policy isn’t enough. It’s those with multiple houses that have won lotto with this policy and many of those sit in Govt now. #nzpol

$500 Billion dollars of untaxed cash just sitting there in private trusts…💭 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #NZ #TaxWealthMore #TaxWorkLess

Get fucked

It’s deeply shameful for National and Act to vote for the NZF anti-trans bill tonight. Clearly they’d rather the limited resources of govt be used on this culture war nonsense that nobody wants rather than the things that New Zealanders actually need from them.

Have you noticed that the claimed ($2.4b) savings Nicola Willis is planning to extract from our public services is a similar amount to the ($2.9b) tax cuts she gave away to landlords?💩 #OneTernGovernment #nzpol

Have they done a thorough proof of concept for AI in public service? No. But are they using it successfully themselves? Also no. But do they have clear plans for how AI will be deployed? No. This article would be hilarious if it wasn't devastating. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

The Right needs new talking points and a check on their California Derangement Syndrome. California is the top-performing economy in the US. We dominate in EVERY category — from manufacturing to venture capital, engineering, and research. We are writing the rules of the future.

The student loan scheme was only introduced in New Zealand in 1992. Before that it was possible for a unistudent doing part time work to emerge debt free, walk into employment & walk into a bank & get a mortgage for a starter home avoiding the rent trap entirely. Time to rise up. #nzpol

Everlee Wihongi jailed by ICE for a month now moved to another prison unable to communicate with family or lawyer. Labour is calling on Foreign Affairs Minister to advocate with US govt for her release or at least she should be told why she is being held and able to communicate with family & lawyer.

Justice Alito relied on misleading data to support his claim that “Black voters now participate in elections at similar rates as the rest of the electorate." Using the DOJ’s data, Alito omitted the fact that the racial voter gap is actually widening. trib.al/QIDuIYb

Does he think things are going to get cheaper or something? If so, he needs to be removed from his position, because he's obviously mentally incapable of being in Parliament. #nzpol

It didn’t take long for the motivation behind canning the BSA to be thrown into the spotlight. They want unfettered racist hate speech to become normalised. #nzpol

It's wearying.

On the sudden "democratically indefensible" move to abolish the BSA: "Eschewing enforceable standards that apply to all media places too much faith in deregulated markets and the industry's willingness to police itself in the public interest." #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

In summary: “… they will purge the agencies that enforce accountability, they will rewrite the law so that they are no longer breaking it… and if they are clever, they will eliminate any structural protections you had before the majority realizes the extent of the damage.” - Sarah Kendzior #nzpol
