Look National Gasless! No LNG terminal #Election26 #nzpol

This is our regular reminder that - according to IRD in 2023 - the richest 350 families in AoNZ pay an effective tax rate of only 8%. The reaction of the government to this news was to tell IRD to stop collecting the data, and give the families a tax cut #nzpol

Yeah. But seriously, the cost of living is not funny. Fuck successive NZ govts from doing anything about competition in the supermarket industry #nzpol all parties must be receiving donations from said industry????

Tim Murphy’s “omg everyone hates Luxon” piece is so funny bro white bread is up 60%, there’s no jobs, there’s literal shit in the air in the capital city, people responsible for the engines of economy are leaving in droves, no workers rights, no action on climate change, voter suppression 🤷🏽‍♀️

Useful graph for the debt scare folks. Govt debt-servicing costs are super low these days. So much headroom to invest in the many, many things we need for the long-term, yet still we beg for eye-wateringly expensive private finance.

The Coalition Government are sitting in their little room with an abacus trying to work out why NZ Inc has no money to fix the existing infrastructure projects. Really dumb economics. They aren't very intelligent. #nzpol

NZ ban X. #nzpol

US and NZ goverments in corrupt lockstep missing the solar wave. #nzpol

We have a tiny window of opportunity to lead the world out of a political right wing fascist nightmare. 2026 is that opportunity. We are one of the first countries voting in this new right wing AI disinformation hellscape. I really don’t think left wing political parties are ready? #nzpol 😖😰

This is the whole point of David Seymour/ACT attacks and the creation of the 'Free Speech Union' in Aotearoa "[T]he 'free speech' grift was never about protecting individuals from the state. It was about protecting a specific type of speaker from the social consequences of their speech." #NZPol

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

"The English language is not under threat. We are literally speaking it and debating in it right now. This is a bill which is an answer to a problem that does not exist," said Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Chloe once again telling it how it is. This government isn't stupid, they do know exactly what they are doing when they manufacture conflict and culture wars just like they are doing with this stupid languages bill. #ChloeForPM #ChloeHasASpine #WheresChippy #nzpol

Fuck off Winston. YOU'RE IN THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT THAT PASSED THIS BILL!!! YOU'RE THE DEPUTY PM OF THAT GOVERNMENT!! if you wanted to stop that bill you would've stopped it, just like you've done with other bills you didn't like in the past. don't fucking come with this bullshit. #nzpol

RNZ need to stop putting the lie in the headline. The truth: NZF put no amendment papers forward. “There was no pushback from them at all against this terrible, horrendous bill." …. there were many opportunities for NZF to voice their opposition, or done something to make the bill better.” #nzpol

TAX FREE

So just to be clear Luxon wants Kiwi families to pay a new tax on their power bills to build an LNG terminal that we don’t need & that will cook the climate, so that Methanex, a company contributing 0 dollars in tax themselves, can keep sending their profits offshore. newsroom.co.nz/2025/04/30/m...

Imagine being such a useless sack of skin Speaker that a senior Government Minister blatantly defies your own rulings and you react by disciplining the person who complained about it.😵 Most. Useless. Speaker. Ever. Retire Brownlee, you're an embarrassment, just like Luxon. #OneTermGovetnment #nzpol

Gerry Brownlee bringing Parliament into disrepute and further staining the role of Speaker by protecting and deflecting clear racist statements #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Julie Ann Genter's passion is clear but she's in a toxic work environment. #nzpol www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1UL...

Brownlee is truly one of the worst speakers ever. Gets visibly hot under the collar at expressions of tikanga in the House, referring MPs involved to the Privileges Committee, but waves racism by govt ministers through with barely a word of reprimand #nzpol

We kill or injure this many workers every year WITH health & safety regulations in NZ law…The NZ Government has doubled down & jumped straight to state sponsored negligent homicide, so CEOs can buy themselves another yacht to park at the viaduct. 🤬 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

The last line NZ the last line in the sand. #nzpol

Last night I did some research on debt during Ardern Labour years and the top google results all returned with Christchurch Matthew Horncastle raving on about how Ardern ruined the country Not great That big lie is what National hope will secure them a second term with ACT/NZ First #nzpol #kiwi

70 of us may die, but it's a price Brooke van Velden is willing to pay #nzpol

1/3 Every New Zealander deserves to come home healthy and safe. Workers’ lives should never be put on the line in the name of profit. #nzpol

Who are these wannabe facist racist Trump supporting head in the sand climate change denying dirt bags supporting NZ First? #nzpol

NZ must reckon with the grim reality of our future: more storms, floods and heat. This is a confronting situation. And yet, if we are to shield our communities, our infrastructure and our economy from the worst excesses of climate change, it is one we must confront. newsroom.co.nz/2026/02/18/c...

The Reserve Bank’s refusal to grant Fintech company Dosh a banking license amounts to open defiance of clear instructions from Parliament … a 🧵 #nzpol www.thepost.co.nz/business/360...

Winston Peters is a reprehensible blot on our parliament. Gerry Brownlee did his best to cover for him, but Peters wouldn‘t even take the out offered to him. I’m glad Chris Hipkins stood up to denounce Peters and tell Brownlee to do his job. #nzpol

David Spanky Seymour recently visited Argentina & espoused the 'economic' genius of their idiot President. This is who our current Deputy Prime minister is calling *checks notes* a "legend".

~$4000 per year for a daily commute over the Auckland #HarbourBridge is fricken insane We should not be repeating their “$9 per trip” propaganda that makes it sounds small, by the way. It’s about a $4000 per year cost to an Auckland commuter, it’s a *humongous* new tax #nzpol #auckland #willis

@teanau.bsky.social highlighting the awful anti worker government's latest move This is really bad, and yet many people will have no idea of it Join a Union, look after each other✊🏻 #nzpol

Howabout making it a fucking drawbridge for the rich to pull up behind them. #nzpol

More extreme weather more often. What do our leaders think we should do? In a word, not much. My Stuff #cartoon today #NZpol #Climate

Budgeted for this = canceling $6bn climate resilience fund Infra not being political = canceling iRex and politicizing 3waters to the max I've not seen this level of gaslighting in NZ for a while #nzpol

Mōrena, An important thread for all #nzpol ⬇️⬇️⬇️

This needs to be constantly shouted from the rooftops! #nzpol

Regular reminder that money is created either by Govt spending or bank lending. The phrase 'public money' for the former seems entirely appropriate. Indeed, bank lending is effectively state licenced.

Toll = Tax #nzpol

#nzpol Prices for basics are rising again at a rate much faster than wages, new data from Stats NZ shows. 70% of workers got a pay rise less than 3% last year and 44% got no pay rise at all. Food prices rose 4.6% overall, with the price of white bread rising 58% this year. A 🧵

Toll: a fixed charge or tax for a privilege, especially for passage across a bridge or along a road. lol. #NZPol

#nzpol The Employment Relations Amendment Bill has passed. This is a dark day for working New Zealanders. Our Government has let Uber and the ACT Party set the agenda for employment law in this country. They need to grow a backbone and stand up for the interests of New Zealand workers.

I think it’s time for nationalised, Government-run supermarkets. We don’t need a third player in the market who will just cartel up with the other two and keep prices soaring. We need a baseline store who undercuts those motherfuckers until they are the ones doing the panicking. #nzpol

Must be pretty embarrassing for them to still be eating from the collective food chain, perhaps they should just fill up directly from the short pipe instead. 😳🙄🤦‍♀️ #nzpol

Golly gosh... 🙄 www.legislation.govt.nz/bill/governm...

How many climate related States of Emergency have we had this year already? How many deaths? (9 by my count) These are sick, stupid people. #nzpol
