In Albany, Georgia, Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital paid an exorbitant sum to acquire its crosstown rival and became the town’s only hospital. But as the company’s debt increased, patients suffered. ➡️ Read more: https://propub.li/48VvnFH

Shameful #nzpol

What ceasefire? While the world celebrates Christmas, occupation soldiers were celebrating in their own way: Bullets striking children's homes in Tulkarm, and destruction devouring residential neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip #BoycottIsrael #auspol #ukpol #nzpol #cdnpol

I mean, maybe we could just tax equitably for a happier existence overall? #nzpol

A very thoughtful and well written piece. "We can be a country that people choose to stay in. We can be a country that honours its elders with more than rhetoric. We just have to choose it and 2026 is as good a year as any to start." #NZPOL

National rips up Labour's ferry deal costing NZ at least 700 million for nothing, then the fuckers want Labour to bail out their underwhelming India FTA.. Fuck off .. #nzpol

Unless, of course, the whole thing is really a ploy to make Willis look less heartless than she really is.

www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-dept.... This is what the difference between responsible government policies and making shit up as you go looks like. The adults have left the building. #nzpol

Sad thing about that Luxon promotion sitting by his pool is a lot of families wont be able to have a Christmas. Many have lost jobs, going through divorces, alcohol and mental issues, watched mortgages rates increase, housing equity lost. While Luxon quaffs his water from his gold tumbler #nzpol

"Customs may become a user of Auror, which may expose police information entered into the retail crime side of the platform," “widespread police use of ANPR is being legally challenged at the Court of Appeal” #nzpol

‘The public will not have their say’ is a feature of what style of governance? #nzpol

To infinity & beyond…🙄🤦‍♀️ #nzpol

Journal retracts weed killer study backed by Monsanto, citing ‘serious ethical concerns’ Highly cited paper was used as evidence that the widely used herbicide Roundup is safe www.science.org/content/arti... #nzpol

No public input, not even any people in the public gallery in parliament, while the government pushes through hugely consequential and damaging climate legislation. #nzpol

"Why are you obsessed with children's genitals?" should be the first question Danielle Smith and every other UCP MLA gets asked by the press in every interview. This question should haunt them for the rest of their miserable lives. Because this obsession is fucking weird and should be stigmatized.

And we're there! Thank you all! We've still got a ways to go to our goal but reaching this landmark is huge. This money will help PATHA put forward the best possible case, giving us the best chance of overturning this ban. Onwards and upwards! 🏳️‍🌈 itch.io/b/3421/ban-t... #rainbow #ttrpg #nzpol

Kia Ora Earthlings, Richard J Murphy discusses the tax myth. TLDW, tax doe NOT pay for government services. If you're like.. huh??? WTF???🤔 grab a snack and have a watch, this Dude knows his shit! #nzpol #tax #economics #debt #education #MMT www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrO9...

Remind us why the similar regulation had to be repelled under urgency, before being replaced by something substantially similar, again under urgency...? Each time loading costs as Councils and trade professionals have to deal with the impacts of the 750+ pages of quality legislation... #nzpol

You can tell nicola willis and chris bishop have never had real jobs because they think an actual solution to things is "go negotiate with your bank or landlord".

Beware!!! National's Judith Collins' plans for you all to have your Driving Licenses digitally installed on your smartphones!!!! in the guise of making life easier for you!!This is National introducing its 'Gestapo tools' & Peter Thiel's Palantir software to gather yr info.Don't do it. #NZPol

Stanford on the news tonight saying Cabinet want a social media ban, and THEN they'll look at regulations. What a buck wild thing to do. #nzpol

The Parliamentary Inquiry into Online Harm and Young People has published their report. Let's get into it! 🧵 The following is my opinion, informed by my own research background. #nzpol selectcommittees.parliament.nz/v/2/8611cb90...

Our central, local, and regional govts use MS products for many, many things. So do our universities and Public Research Organisations (former CRIs) along with a whole heck of a lot of private companies all around the motu (e.g. law firms and banks). No guarantee of data sovereignty. None. #NZPOL

Why doesn't TVNZ's business reporter just go on the National Party payroll and be done with it? Last night's puff piece on the far-reaching RMA rewrite was a disgrace #nzpol Also, where is Chris Hipkins?

Oh dear…

PRESS RELEASE: The Government’s rewrite of the RMA allows companies to claim financial compensation when councils introduce rules to limit pollution or protect the environment. #nzpol #climatecrisis www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/pre...

This protest march on parliament is tomorrow, Wednesday 10 December #NZPol

Cool how a minor opposition party having problems is 'the political shitstorm of the year' and not the governing party doing full racism and climate denial and stuff 🥲 #nzpol (Like yes this definitely matters and should be covered but wtf)

Exciting result from the NZ Supreme Court: Full-time carers' appeal for employee status upheld by Supreme Court www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

This is what banning under-16s from social media looks like for EVERYONE

‼️UNION WIN‼️ ACC have scrapped their controversial plans to limit working from home. Working from home is good for workers, and it’s good for employers. #NZPol #Kikorangi

Keep Peter Thiel out of New Zealand! #NZPol

I really think a lot of centre-left Labour-supporting people, if they truly want to change the government *and* get genuine progressive/left policies over the line, need to brush up on the history of the ACT Party I'm quite serious

#NZpol "...as Utah Phillips put it, “The earth is not dying, it is being killed. And the people who are killing it have names and addresses.” What our government is doing? It's on purpose. Our insane system is not "broken", it's working *exactly as these monsters intended it to.* #ItsByDesign

Jason Walls is basically like a National Party propaganda puppet on 1News. Unsurprising given his Newstalk ZB background, but much worse than expected. Unbearable and provides shit analysis, leaving out 3/4 of the story each time. #nzpol #kiwi #1News

Where are the advocates for the trickle-up economy: where you give the poor people all the money and rich people sell them goods and services? #nzpol

“Takapuna community members are calling for a reversal of a decision to remove a 400-year-old pōhutukawa, considered a “living cemetery” by local iwi. The ancient tree is one of the few remaining in Te Uru Tapu, Sacred Grove, near Takapuna Beach.” #nzpol

BONKERS! The Luxon Govt’s rewrite of the RMA laws allows companies to claim financial compensation (from taxpayers) when councils introduce rules to limit pollution or protect the environment. Let that sink in. #NZPOL

Letter to the Speaker of the House from Palestine Forum of New Zealand #NZPol

Two pieces of shit debating over which stinks more gives neither credit. Make sure to watch the star-studded debate, brought to you live by the people who profit most of both of these dickheads policies. I'd give money for these two to shut up for good, but I've got none. #nzpol

Despite everyone's best efforts, this isn't going away. #nzpol

Fuck David Seymour For "savings" of $100m, he's put local businesses out of work and kids are now being fed pigswill. I fucking loathe the cunt #nzpol

NZ #GreenBudget Highlights: Free GP and free dental care ✅ Free early childhood education (35hr/w) ✅ Income guarantee ($395/w baseline) ✅ (And more!) Paid for by: Raise corporate tax (28% -> 33%) ✅ Wealth tax ✅ Private-jet tax ✅ #nzpol #Greens www.greens.org.nz/green_budget...

Luxon & Seymour's new laws are a trap. Hidden in the fine print: ratepayers must compensate landowners with cash if environmental rules stop them from developing. It’s your hard-earned money going straight to the wealthy. A kick in the guts. #nzpol thespinoff.co.nz/politics/09-...
