New Year and National are still just as out of touch. #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

#NZpol The guy is a firehose of utterly manipulative horseshit, bullhorned by our (apparently) "paper of record" incessantly, and wall to wall Talk-Crap Radio on peoples drive to work, during the day and drive home. Accurately summed up by the Side Eye, and in addition, this one *directly* below.

The Prime Minister reckons regular Kiwis just don't understand his plan. Oh, we get it alright. The plan is cutting our services to fund tax breaks for landlords and corporate mates. #nzpol www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

Strong “I’m not failing, you just don’t understand success” energy here 🤦‍♂️#nzpol

#NZpol People might recall that when M-Bovis hit he didn't do FUCK ALL about it as a Minister and *neither did his government*. People might also recall when farmers were losing to climate change damage he simply said "That's a shame, talk to your bank about it..." The guy is an absolute munter.

Another day, another cushy job for a former National Party Minister while public services get slashed to the bone. #nzpol www.nzherald.co.nz/the-country/...

#nzpol Data released today shows that for all the talk of green shoots, the economy hasn’t grown at all in 2 years. Unemployment is up, & the cost of living is still rising for middle and low-income New Zealanders. The GDP increase today simply balances out the fall previously. A Thread

While Luxon wraps up the year cracking jokes in Parliament, families are stressing over empty fridges and sky-high rents. It is obvious that a government focused on handouts for landlords and corporate mates was never going to hold up once the bills came due. #nzpol thespinoff.co.nz/the-bulletin...

Well well well www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

National: putting the "N" in Cuts. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

#nzpol HYEFU data today showed that unemployment is forecast to stay much higher than forecast by Treasury at the last election. There will be 76,000 more people on jobseekers by 2027. Wages going up by less every year than forecast at the last election.

So much for being the superior money managers. We have seen public services slashed and landlords looked after, yet the return to surplus has been kicked down the road to 2030. #nzpol www.thepost.co.nz/business/360...

This under urgency bullshit has to stop What part of foreigners buying kiwi property needs changes under urgency overnight? #nzpol

So much for being the party of fiscal responsibility. The surplus is disappearing, but they still managed to prioritise tax breaks for landlords over keeping the lights on in our public services. #nzpol www.nzherald.co.nz/business/eco...

Okay but having Willis and Richardson debate "is the government not right-wing enough or just the right amount of right-wing?" is a trap, and it's a trap that's explicitly being run by the TPU. Y'all see that, right?

Australia has had solar subsidies for so long that some of my Aussie colleagues are eligible for a second round of upgrades because it's been ten years. NZ meanwhile, we can't have nice things. It might upset the status quo.

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-...

Pretty rich seeing Christopher Luxon try to sales-talk his way to re-election by cutting ribbons for projects he didn’t even start. #nzpol thespinoff.co.nz/politics/08-...

You first m8 I'm back on 5 January, I expect to be able to tune into a post-cabinet presser at 4pm that afternoon www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Oh lord. You need a strong stomach to read this self-aggrandising garbage. He only sleeps 4 hours a night you know, and he talks up his own emotional intelligence. #nzpol

It’s funny how climate change only seems to matter to this government when it threatens the profits of their corporate fishing mates. #nzpol www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/minister-...

'The ruling means she’ll be able to attend the party’s annual conference in Rotorua this Sunday.' Meanwhile, the country's public broadcaster appears to have no story about this on its website. #NzPol

Nicola Willis is trying to spin this, but it is pretty simple: you can’t squeeze families dry while handing billions in tax cuts to landlords and expect the country to thrive. #nzpol www.odt.co.nz/news/nationa...

Luxon talks big about catching up to the Aussies, but National's recipe of cuts and wage suppression is just driving our people and our future straight across the ditch. #nzpol thespinoff.co.nz/society/02-1...

Seymour: let's not make "assumptions" that a serious food safety incident is the responsibility of a company with a record of food safety incidents so bad that officials strongly warned against contracting it. Maybe it was the person who reported it! What a prick. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/christchu...

Sure feels like crime has gone up under this National coalition. Another aggravated robbery in Chch this morning. Higher shoplifting rates. More burglaries. Before you start on backhanders, tax avoidance and selling things that don’t belong to you. #nzpol Vote them out!

We expect a fair go for our children and safe food in their bellies, not more arrogance and excuses from ACT and National. #nzpol

Beautiful...

“TeEtHinG PrOblEMs” It’s been 2 years David. #nzpol

After cutting 70,000+ jobs, causing recession & poverty & kicking families out of emergency housing & selling state houses NZ Coalition & PM Luxon confirm #SimeonBrown action plan on ‘move-on’ orders for homeless #Neoliberal #austerity #cruelty #AtlasNetwork #nzpol www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

I'll just leave this here #nzpol

How shit do you have to be if you’re politically outmanoeuvred by Luxon? 🤣 #nzpol https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360903547/chris-bishop-behind-failed-national-leadership-coup-report#nzpol

“oddly unpopular Luxon” Oddly??, there’s nothing odd about it. Luxon is often unaware of issues, he misinforms, ignores evidence, sucks up every entitlement while many NZers have their benefits cut & social supports ripped away, he cuts jobs & services and tells us he’s wealthy and sorted. #nzpol

While National slashes public services and tells everyday families to tighten their belts, the top brass are walking away with a massive payout. #nzpol

"This is not a power grab!" gabs guy with grabby gear. #nzpol #FramersWeeklyNZ

While Luxon and Bishop are busy scrapping over who gets the top job, the rest of us are worrying about keeping our own. Instead of fighting for power, they should try fighting for a fair go for the ordinary people paying the price for their mess. #nzpol thespinoff.co.nz/the-bulletin...
