Wealthy ppl are doing VERY WELL under this coalition - and they want to continue to be extractive + exploitative, hence donating large sums to ACT. The wealthy know ACT will allow them to exploit workers, exploit the environment, + extract wealth to benefit themselves (& only themselves) #nzpol

Luxon is a MAGA. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. The evangelical christian millionaire & CEO that refuses to call out racism, uses his power to give himself tax cuts and make it harder for people to vote, while taking a payrise during a cost of living crisis is a MAGA fanboy. Simple as that

Ladies and gentleman the “party of business” 🙄

I've been thinking about this more... I think "you should have complied with some theoretical process you might not have even been aware of" is a really awful position for our Minister of Foreign Affairs to take in response to the US imprisoning a New Zealand citizen for six weeks or more.

The Iran conflict has reached a terrible quagmire where the best options remaining for each party are: Moar bombs (US), indiscriminate droning and mining of the Gulf (Iran). The Nash equilibrium is another shitty forever war, but this time with (economic) costs borne globally.

Willis asking Hipkins how he is going to fund Labours policies, insinuating they would reverse the 'savings' this govt has achieved. Those savings were made via underinvestment, cancelled projects (some that resulted in massive penalties). No boats. Dicks. Smug vandals drunk on power. #nzpol

WOW at a little over $10k more than the top Ford Ranger, honestly if you're in business now & you don't upgrade to an EV you really are a stupid business operator.

the indoor smoking bans of the 90's and 00's were the last genuinely great win for organized labor in this country and absolutely could not happen today, trying to reopen this door actively sets us back as a civilization, don't give them an inch

"Yes, now how come you haven't told the public that?" Because her decade old conviction for possession of cannabis that has already been sorted by the courts, shouldn't mean she's detained for 9 weeks in a damn concentration camp. Why haven't you told the public that, Winston? #nzpol

TVNZ please sue Ani O'Brien 🙏David Seymour is enjoying it a little too much. Wonder why? 🤔 #nzpol

The system is rigged. An illegal war hikes bills for stuggling families - meanwhile energy giants rake in profits. We don't have to live like this any more. Vote Green on May 7th.

Australia has secured hundreds of millions of litres of extra diesel from overseas, offered free public transport, promoted WFH, cut fuel excise National has run ads, wants to let trucks drive more & asked Z to store more diesel that will increase prices while denying there's a problem

What brilliant strategy from this genius coalition! Whoever came up with the idea of refurbishing a disused tank at Marsden Point and filling it with government owned diesel to act as a buffer should be applauded. Of course, I'm talking Labour coalition here. Shane Jones AXED IT IN 2024. #NZPol

RNZ headlines Nat claims despite detailed rebuttal from Labour. #NzPol

Now confirmed: Plays out predictably Nicola Willis is using the 1 year old story as pretext to now exclude TVNZ from the Budget briefing

Nonsensical oil crisis response from the coalition #nzpol - If you take things out of your car, it will be lighter and use less petrol. - If you allow heavier loads in trucks they can carry more things and use less petrol too. Very good logic here. They have clearly thought this through. We […]

Hoo boy. You got TVNZ's Sherman calling Stuff's Burr a homophobic slur but it all comes via bad faith instigator O'Brien's Substack? And it happened a year ago but comes out now the govt has an anti-TVNZ crusade before the election? There's no chance of the whole truth coming out of this.

#India PM Modi reminding #NZ PM Luxon and National that the US$20b / NZ$34b deal is a "commitment" by New Zealand. But NZ Trade Minister McClay this morning told RNZ it was just about helping to promote and not about any hard dollars. Huge contradiction at play #nzpol

So Simeon Brown took $4,000,000,000 of our taxpayers money to create a pot hole hotline across NZ Now his party & ACT are allowing more freight, heavier loads, and more wear and tear for truckies as the govt's first response to the global fuel crisis Make it make sense, NZ

“If you don’t vote, you’re voting for this government” Not a bad interview for Hipkins. He even used some super woke trigger words like “empathy, kindness, compassion & values”. Mind blowing stuff…for the RW. #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #EnrolToVote #Election2026 #NZ youtu.be/NwEuwBg99Cc?...

Enough of the stage-managed theatrics at journalist dinners far, far away, let's get back to what we are seeing here with a rework of an old classic. #nzpol

The Greens often get called "ideological" when their ideology is basically people and planet first. The ideology of this government is basically "fuck people and fuck the planet". VOTE THEM OUT!!!! #nzpol

The 2024 GPS gutted road safety funding, changed the goals of transport, siphoned money to gold plated mega highways, and tried to ban multi modal funding. For some reason NZTA who is statutorily independent decided this applied to a project already funded, and mid construction.

A tale of ignorance, arrogance, and magical thinking. The healthcare sector was teetering before the coalition took office; now it’s in full on crisis and the govt is looking for someone to blame. #nzpol

Now, before anyone comes at me, I do agree with Keynes - 'Anything we can do we can afford'. We don't actually need rich peoples' money to pay for infrastructure. But, the accumulation of wealth in the rentier tier of society and the widespread, desperate poverty are toxic for the country. [Ends]

AoNZ is a rich country. The desperate poverty of many of its citizens is a political choice. We can and must do better. #ItsTheInequalityStupid #nzpol

Look. What I say to you is this. Utes kill at a rate seven times that of other light vehicles. It's their size, weight, 50 kph urban limits and diesel fumes. That's why we've done so much to promote them, destroy clean car sales and dump safer speeds. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
