Of course they will. Winston will lie about anything for votes. NZF will campaign on breaking up the duoply and then do nothing AGAIN but blame the coalition agreement. We see you Winston you’re 100% bluster, bigotry and bullshit #nzpol

Prudent And something I have been saying since the oil crisis kicked off

Chris Hipkins says: No plan for shortages. No relief at the pump. No straight answers. Our entire economy runs on fuel. Essential services, farmers, tradies, construction, tourism – none of it moves without it. Uncertainty has a cost. Kiwis deserve answers

DITCH THESE USELESS PRICKS

Mike Hosking buying an EV feels like something, something. I mean it's not "the times they are a changing", he just wants to be able to drive if the dinosaur juice has a whoopsie run ou. But it's funny, it's like he has had to make some kind of back down. I'd love to laugh right in his face #NZPol

Lebanon is 33% Christian. Israel is illegally invading Lebanon & bombing Christian villages. Moreover, Israel has warned Lebanese Christians & Druze to forbid any Muslim from hiding in their homes & Israeli troops are now hunting for Muslims hiding in attics of Christians. These Are War Crimes.

The fact that this government is just letting this happen…. It’s a choice. It really does make them look completely incompetent. #nzpol

With NZ food prices rising I'm thinking about foraging. We have wandering weed tradescantia in our garden. Tips in the article ⤵️ for using it when potting plants, and as eating the leaves or flowers in salads. Like lettuce or silverbeet. Ate a leaf to test. OK if bland🥬 www.rnz.co.nz/life/lifesty...

there is no reason in the world for western media to be giving so much more coverage to the US pilots than they gave to the murdered Iranian schoolgirls other than pure fascist, dehumanising intent these people make me fucking sick

Stop Wars Aotearoa Rally and March at 2pm, Saturday 11th April! AUCKLAND

Ministers staged a NIMBY revolt against their government’s own housing policy for Auckland. As a result fewer homes will be built. Rents and house prices will be higher than they would have been. And you wonder why so many young people are going to Australia! Full speech: youtu.be/YG2t5XzY7UI 2/2

Our city needs more houses but the communities I represent in West Auckland have had more than their fair share of development because the leafy suburbs have refused their share. The Govt cutting planning targets due to NIMBY pressure will make that worse. youtu.be/YG2t5XzY7UI 1/2

Chris Hipkins says: The test of leadership in a crisis isn't just managing what's in front of you. It's being honest about what's coming - and acting before you're forced to. Enjoy your Easter. I hope you get a chance to rest and spend time with the people you love.

It's important we maintain a consensus that migrants contribute positively. We do this by constantly fine tuning the immigration system so the public are confident it is fair, and run in the interests of this country. We should also strengthen our commitment to human rights. (2nd of 2.)

The Government has no credibility talking about the “international rules based order”. It criticises Iran at every turn but says nothing about the US-Israel illegal war of aggression. #StoptheWar Full speech here youtu.be/aiusHG5NOoU 2/3

If the National Government sends New Zealanders to “clear the Straits of Hormuz” they will be seen as belligerents in the war and New Zealanders will become targets. #StoptheWar Full speech here youtu.be/aiusHG5NOoU 1/3

Under the National Government New Zealand’s once proud independent foreign policy has been reduced to abject servility to the Trump White House. #StoptheWar Full speech here youtu.be/aiusHG5NOoU 3/3

Of course they did because you can tell when a Reform politician is lying. Their lips move.

Chris Hipkins says: Before this current crisis NZ families were already struggling Groceries were already too expensive Power bills were already squeezing families That didn't come from the current crisis It came from choices made by the National Govt @philtwyford.bsky.social @nzlabour.bsky.social

Is there a way to achieve a clean renewable energy transformation without mining critical ecosystems on land or at sea? A new report by Greenpeace and the Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology Sydney, shows how it's possible. www.greenpeace.org/internationa...

“Hands off Palestine Hands off the Middle East Hands off human rights in Aotearoa RALLY AUCKLAND 21/3/26 2PM

Watching the media casually talking about fuel rationing & the possibilites of carless days or other radical reaction, calmly & yeah I get it, don't spook the horses but by god I am outraged because I know if this happened under a Labour government there would be "Waily, waily, waily!" #NZPol

HANDS OFF CUBA PUBLIC MEETING 7PM FRIDAY MARCH 27TH AUCKLAND

Chris Hipkins says: The cost of food, power, & petrol has been rising - and it's been made worse by a National Government that prioritised tax cuts for tobacco companies & offshore tech giants. Christopher Luxon promised to fix the cost of living. Instead it’s got worse. @philtwyford.bsky.social

Chris Hipkins says: A resilient economy doesn't just manage costs, it creates opportunity & builds for the future. That's what the New Zealand Future Fund is about. It will invest in innovative businesses, creating jobs & wealth so that people can build their futures here @philtwyford.bsky.social

TODAY AUCKLAND 2PM THERE IS NO CEASEFIRE

Around the world politicians are demonising migrants, dividing people and damaging democracy. We don't want that in NZ. Migrants benefit our society. We need to get better at helping them settle successfully so they benefit and New Zealand benefits. (1 of 2 videos from a recent speech in the House.)

The New Zealand Labour Party condemns the US attack on Venezuela including kidnapping its president as a blatant violation of international law.

And here we have it. Due to Nikki Noboat's gross incompetence, we are down from 3 to 1 ferry. Had she not cancelled the iRex ferries, we'd have TWO BRAND NEW SHIPS this year. This incompetence is on her and Luxon.(Date checked.This is a current story.) www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/wellingto...

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Spain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse. 1/2

Even with everything, I'm struggling to process evil this brazen.

David Seymour talking absolute shite, a falsehood so egregious that a schoolkid could dismantle: “Well you only have to look at New Zealand as a success story. Even the poorest people in New Zealand today are living like kings and queens compared with most places and most times in history,” he said.

in 2022 i wrote a series for webworm about NZ's biggest megachurch, arise. webworm exposed bullying, abuse & the coverup of rape. it led to the leaders john & gillian cameron resigning, & much of arise folding. well: they've emerged footloose & fancy free in australia: www.webworm.co/johnbrentcam...

📢 At Waitangi, the colourful, immersive tent has invited mokopuna, rangatahi and whānau to slow down, reconnect and "simply be".

A billionaire cabal of Thiel, Musk, and Trump is systematically dismantling our democracy and stripping away our fundamental rights. This isn't just greed; it’s a coordinated assault on Western liberty for personal profit. They are the primary threat to our future, and they must be stopped now.

Thousands showed up in Seattle—nurses, doctors, educators—people who heal and protect life. Congress is voting to fund ICE instead of care. The public is choosing dignity and health. Lawmakers should listen. #FundHealthcareOverICE Let’s unite in compassion

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

Also explains why middle class kiwis continue to vote NACTZ… bags not telling them. 👀 #nzpol
