Jim Hubbards cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3609... @thepost-nz.bsky.social Luxon has a voodoo doll next to his bed and snuggles soundly with his little teddy bear... #NzPol #Cartoon #Voodoo

Surely there's a difference between white and translucent.

Quick reminder: Stockholm Syndrome doesn't exist. It was made up by a male psychologist who used it to explain why a female hostage was angry at police for making the situation worse.

Libertarians are like house cats. Convinced of their own independence, while completely unappreciative and unaware of a system they totally rely on.

Which is weird, because they all talk out of their assholes.

"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

Weird. You'd think with all the marketing a political party currently in power is doing outside of an election that there wasn't a cost of living crisis. But throw a shiny new logo on the billboard with vague inflation percentages then, I guess. #nzpol

Just a quick tip - don't treat your partner like a therapist. Better living everyone.

Mike Hosking just called Chris Hipkins "a pillock, a pratt and a prick” but apparently that's fine Media standards is what National truly care about

Who would've thought the most narcissistic president that country has had (and that's saying something), would make the 250th celebrations about himself...

For Minister Shane Jones the jewels are the resources in the ground. For many of the rest of us the jewels are the earth, the sky, the sea, the bush, the rivers, the mountains, and the creatures My #cartoon today #Taonga #Mining #Clutha #Environment #FastTrack #UNESCOWorldHeritageSite #TeWāhipounamu

What do we reckon? A bad attempt to justify selling TVNZ to NZME? #nzpol

Yeah, those circumstances are her lack of a conscience and being an ideologue. The events happened well after the consequences of her circumstance. What a shame we're victims of her circumstances and events. #nzpol

Yeah? Well I heard about this other party that happened last year. Apparently Willis said a racist slur. Do I get an article? Or does that only apply when it's about Māori journalists on a network I don't like? #nzpol

Academy awards forthcoming 😂

Oh great. The govt that wants to load all its responsibilities to its constituents wants to overload trucks during a fuel crisis. Remind me, what's the job of the govt again? #nzpol

It was already obvious that this was just an ideology showcase. They really didn't need to prosecute one parent after a year of "cracking down" to reinforce that fact. #nzpol

When I was at HCC, we were having a briefing on what trainings we'd have liked etc at the start of the term and I pointed out there was no training on AI or LLMs, no advice on how you shouldn't put confidential or public excluded information into them. I watched a colleague's face go white.

Ah, but my job is replaceable with AI but not the MPs who are deliberately making it replace them? Thing about "the laziest employee working efficiently" is that they still have the same result after finding the easiest way. This is just cutting corners while hoping it's still a square. #nzpol

Ah, I see. It's the old "we failed to fix the economy, so blame the immigrant next door for you not having any bread" tactic. So, how we doing this? Cause if they're gonna blame asylum-seekers, can I blame the immigrants from 186 years ago? #nzpol

"We'd love to be able to present an estimate of how much fuel these four initiatives can save..." Oh great. We'd love it if you did your job and made decisions based on the facts and data available, not some idea you pulled from what's essentially a talk-back hotline. #nzpol

Right. Who shaved the monkeys and gave them consciousness?

Imagine everyone in the world is suddenly teleported to a room with two buttons, a red one and a blue one. If more than 50% pressed the red button, everyone who pushed the blue button dies. If more than 50% press the blue button, nothing happens. Which one are you pressing?

Well then. If this doesn't push one of the most remote countries in the world to at least inch towards sustainability, nothing will. Enrolled to vote? #nzpol

You wouldn't think people would vote based on vibes... #nzpol

This is not wrong.

Yeah, people got sick from COVID19 and then died. Funny how that works.

Well shit. Who'd have thought. Anyway, did you know the sky is blue?

Also, how does borrowing money to spend it NOT solve issues? That's literally why people get loans in the first place. And a good business would raise revenue streams (like taxes in this case) to solve their fiscal issues. So they could do EITHER and choose NEITHER? Love that for us... #nzpol

Wait, did this daft *insert insult here* claim that the fiscal downgrade from "stable" to "negative" justifies their decisions? HOW!? It got downgraded AFTER her dipshit decisions! Guess that's the problem with ideology, it can be made of really, really stupid ideas... #nzpol

𝚂𝙾 𝙵𝚁𝙴𝚂𝙷. 𝚂𝙾 𝙲𝙻𝙴𝙰𝙽.

When the devs pipe up

Has there actually been a time when this coalition was stable? Hell, it took them longer than a month of negotiations before they even formed the damn thing. Shame they're in charge of everything, or it'd be entertaining watching it fall. #nzpol

This is some top level gaslighting here, folks. #nzpol

Very good Willis. Now, point to the part of your explanation that shows it's Winston's fault you formed a govt with him... #nzpol

What's the bet the people being threatening are idiots who think THEY'RE the ones who are gonna strike gold and own the mine (this isn't the 1800s) or they're directly benefiting from it. On look, one of the loudest is Shame Jones. Figures. #nzpol

In today’s NZ Herald

Every decision you make is an emotional one. Even the people who use data have an emotional connection to that information.

Anyone in Wellington, head to Daily Bread (when/if you can) and show them some love!

Censorship always appears in plain clothes.

Ugh! Bloody hell! I need another hobby other than complaining about things on the internet...

Well, if I'm gonna have nightmares about this image, you should too. #nzpol

Like this?

Oh, they kept Luxon? So they're happy to lose the election then? Weird tactic. #nzpol

Did they move the block button? Cause if I had a dollar for every time I've had someone tell me to stop following them over something I posted, I'd have at least three dollars. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened at all.

Coming after me because Shane Jones said something stupid and I shared an article about it, isn't doing anything about racism, last I checked...

That's stupid. We all know butter chicken is an English invention. #nzpol

Thats great but he really should've known how to do these things before becoming Prime Minister.
