Like this #nzpol because we can see what happens when we dont vote enough.

This is stupid. Its the job losses, fear of more job losses and low pay. You can force people back to the office 5 days a week and just make them miserable by having to pay for and endure more commute time. But they still won't be able to afford to buy lunch when they're there.

Single occupant vehicles: forget SUVs we need SOVs

Oh dear.

It just makes you feel hopeless. Not all politicians lie, just some.

But you can earn as much additional income as you like and still receive the pension? If we capped earning at $106 would that a) disincentivise work, or b) disincentivise pension uptake? I dont understand how its possible to track this for one and not the other www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

"Could it be Jessica Rose instead though? She’s running alongside Labour’s Waitākere incumbent Shane Henderson, who’s long been the loudest pro-housing voice on council. Her platform aligns with the Greens, with a focus on encouraging alternative transport and protecting the environment."

@georgeweeks2014.bsky.social now Auckland transport is in house, how about this:

What we need in New Zealand

Cr Turner now asking how we get rid of increased housing capacity. Complaining about Glen Eden housing built _under current rules_ cos landlords are leaving houses empty. Cr Hills heroically trying to explain to him PC78 is the default & the new plan actually decreases density in much of Glen Eden.

Ain't that the truth.

Help me get elected. I'm a good egg. #nzpol #climateaction #aucklandcouncil #localelections

I don't really care if the future is short videos. I like words. Words have gotten me this far and I'm gonna stick with 'em for the duration

This makes sense now I know. And its a zinger! Based on recent criteria, this is indeed, a woman.

Please please vote in local and general elections

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

What I find fascinating about this chart is that people voted for this government because they were unhappy about the direction of Labour government, but at no time since the election have the majority thought this government is doing a good job #nzpol

Warning, may cause pstd:

This is the biggest reason for me putting my neck out and doing this election campaigning again. Its going to hit. Often and unpleasantly, we need to be prepared to act when it does. #climate

Abundant community space and retail business, achieved by regulating scarcity of cars.

#nzpol Say no to seabed mining. Say no to bottom trawling. Say no to further destruction of our environment.

And they're up! But so many who haven't responded. If anyone is looking for suggestions on who to vote for, you can narrow it down to the people who actually answered the questions - admittedly, it did take hours. #nzpol #democracy #votejess4west policy.nz/2025/aucklan...

Been up to some pretty epic meet the candidates around Waitākere- these communities are engaged #af we're fielding about 2 a week. Hoping I find time to actually share my answers to the questions!

A friendly gasp for fundraising - scan the qr code if you can spare a dollar Although if you had tree-fiddy that wouldn't go amiss ;-)

So it goes.

It doesn't get more simple than this.

another school shooting. ban the guns, not the books!

As was pointed out some time ago and remains true, 'This isn't a govt. It's a collection of semi-autonomous industry-appointed action groups fronted by a tootpaste salesman.' Sharpen your (metaphorical) pitchforks. #nzpol

No freaking way. No words to describe this

Well, that's #placemaking at its finest. At its core, it's to support civic cohesion in public spaces. Such a great example of designing for people.

Hey multi-modla active transport #urbannerds Me and AI made this song for you, its called #Tripchain: suno.com/s/Fsb7YgIrOS... @carolgreen.bsky.social @greaterauckland.bsky.social @patrickreynolds.bsky.social @georgeweeks2014.bsky.social @nzdodo.bsky.social @pippacoom.bsky.social

Every time 3 News covers the "haka in Parliament" story, they show the clip. And my middle-aged Pākehā heart swells each time I see it. #toitūTeTiriti!! #kikorangi

Ah, diplomacy level 100

Not enough attention paid to this little gem.

Im shocked. Shocked! I hope JD has a couch to crash on. Thoughts and prayers.

The #cats are tucked in for the night. Let this be a lesson: If Jack & Mayhem can put aside their differences and share the same territory while at their most vulnerable, there is hope for all of us. #lookatmypet

This is what a lot of cycling infrastructure in Auckland looks like. But the rail line is the road and the road is the random bit of bike infrastructure that doesn't go anywhere.

We're back to the system that is a war on anyone not white, cis, male and conservative.

I'll be recommending votes your way this election!

Sometimes #nzpol feels like this than anything else:

There is hope.

They’re building rainbow cycle tunnels in Norway. With no cars. Nice video by Critical Mass Bergen.

Local councils could pursue advanced environmental protection measures, but they’ll have to compensate landowners, reports Fox Meyer.
