What the hell

wtf. nerds. What a nark. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

I had a relative who was very pro cutting the public service. Said it was overbloated, lazy, etc. After the cull had reached 6000, I said "how has your life changed now with 6000 fewer public servants?" "It hasn't" they said. "And how do you think their lives have changed?" "Oh" they said.

Māni Dunlop on predetermination. #NzPol

this is quite the dog whistle right?

Probably gathering evidence for a police report😉 It's great to hear you're in a better place, I struggled for a good while but am coming out the other side. +1 for therapist recommendation. I can also recommend Martin Sloman and Brent Cherry in Kāpiti. Martin co-founded Whirlwind

Fucking nailed the singing here. He's back.

the slash fic we all wanted #nice

ever taken on a $10.5B mining company and won? neither. until yesterday. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Sweeping changes to Treaty clauses across 23 laws could lower te Tiriti to its weakest legal standard, reshaping how it influences decisions in health, environment and beyond.

yes we've all been frothing with the coup, meanwhile Mani Dunlop is out here reporting on this fuckery and what it means. www.teaonews.co.nz/2026/04/20/a...

These are all better than it's the same day David.

thanks for your views, former senior trump white house staffer chris liddell, who doesn't mention the word trump anywhere in his piece, or his disclosure. i love the reckons of a man who stayed with trump even after jan 6 when several others quit. www.nzherald.co.nz/business/eco...

Oh. This is the new strategy then. Wheel out the Whānau. Except she doesn't seem to actually say what the good parts are? www.1news.co.nz/2026/04/04/a...

Greta is playing a game getting us to guess what foreign words mean. She gives us hints when we're struggling. What do you call a cooked chicken, was one such hint. Folks, the answer was chicken.

Come for my own embarrassing Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi song. Stay for Labour's bigger embarrassing Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi song. Leave for my embarrassing singing. vt.tiktok.com/ZSuw5UsxW/

Sooooo spark network just... Gone?

When a party finds itself in polling trouble, Mother Mary comes to me. Speaking words of wisdom, don't support another US-led incursion into the Middle East that will predictably result in an oil shock. www.patreon.com/posts/its-go...

if u like this piece, tell yer friends. While it's cool to get some money for these sporadic pieces, I make all of them free and open after a few hours. So save your money.

boy what great PR at this very specific time www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/so...

Bruh we *wanted* [checks notes] prescription charges, inequality, more jobless, decimated health systems, terrible school lunches and more smoking!?!

how can you say no poll will make u resign because you're focused on what new zealanders what, when the poll is telling you what they want?

so this is a hell of a subtweet. it makes our statement being milequetoast-ly supportive of the US clearer, govt doesn't want to upset gas-daddy at a time when they have shown no economic plan and are desperate for something - anything - to take into the election. remember kids, always be craven.

"Luxon hit back at Clark saying: 'What is disgraceful is a regime that kills its own people they way it has'." wow, can't believe Luxo has come out this hard against the US...

not everything needs to be viewed as a meta political story on polling. humans are dying.

Reading Hollywood gossip on reddit is my secret shame. But really I don't know why. Who the fuck are these people? I recognise Peg Bundy's name and that's it...

what.

I cannot deny this.

fixed it

Corporate wants you to find the difference...

the guide for my new IEMs sure does look like an IUD...

'Being detained at your brother's pleasure' will never not be funny

ANDREW MOUNTBATTEN ARRESTED

bit shit

Not one nazi will drink at this bar

fuck this news story is exactly how I think news stories should be presented. Te Ao is the only outlet I have push alerts for cos it delivers content like this. What's unfolding is real shit. www.teaonews.co.nz/2026/02/11/p...

i just think that in the era of smartphones, office toilet lights on a timer should be a thing of the past

The more I think about it, if we *must* have a parliament, then a Māori Upper House would be a good shout. That would be actual te Tiriti Partnership.

Jfc it's the razor blades in the joints of the hydroslide urban myth come true.

Everything's kind of shit. But this is still nice.

it's the same picture etc

love it when wage growth being subdued is "favourable conditions"

One must assume that someone who uses slurs as freely as Winston does, knows full well what globalist is used for. Jfc.

No you don't understand, Trump asked who was "bored of peace?"

Fix it from who? The fuck have you been doing the last 3 years, you festering cyst of a government?

I'm not sure job creation is the winning idea eh. Like, most folk have jobs. And we only want one. Given us the means to afford life. Whether that's jobs, wages, regulation, benefit increases, whatever. Give us a better life.

Bold to assume anyone was. He's done a bang up job of managing that belief for nearly three years now.

Haven't seen Luxo's speech, assume the tldr is: - crime bad, but we done good on it. - National deserves credit for global and economic improvements it had no control over, while ordinary people still can’t afford life - selling me austerity under the code name "responsibility"?
