#nzpol Pay attention Aotearoa, New Zealand, because our horrid government sure isn't. “It’s really sad, frankly,” he said. “As an Australian, I wish the alternate government of Australia was much more persuaded by 97% of the world’s scientists, by the economics, and we’ve had a sensible approach.”

Oh, fuck that!

10% of Meta's 2024 ad revenue came from outright frauds and scams; the platform shows consumers 15 billion ads for fraud and scams every single day. This doesn't even include agitprop and AI slop. the existential collapse of this monumental pile of shit company simply can't come quickly enough

For less money? As volunteers? How out of touch can an MP get?

Brace yourselves for an influx, Hamilton & Tauranga!!

I can be sure of one thing, we HAVE to vote these economic and ecological vandals out next year, or we're really in trouble #nzpol

More red flags #NZpol "Christina Hood, an independent climate policy expert who has advised governments of all stripes on climate and formerly headed the International Energy Agency’s climate unit, said the changes to consultation requirements were unacceptable." newsroom.co.nz/2025/11/06/g...

Ooh, an iwi backed grocery chain?? I could get behind this 🤔 #nzpol

If only there was an alternative source of power for our vehicles where this wouldn't be necessary🤦🏻‍♂️

MJ was challenged when he referred to the bs phonics data as proof the changes were working. He responded with anger. He wasn’t invited to speak about boys achievement. He chose to do so. His presentation put boys poor achievement down to the strong female culture in schools. Nothing else.

Tech-Bros in a nutshell

Ya'll know #Whamageddon, right? Well, listening to The Hits' dismal, simulcast afternoon drive(l) show, I heard they're playing the utterly unimaginatively named "The Mariah Carey Game" from now til Christmas. I you hear "All I Want for Christmas is You" you're 'out' Creativity is dead at NZME HQ

What the fuck are this chaotic coalition going to do?! Just where do they plan to banish all the rough sleepers and homeless in Auckland's CBD to? Hamilton's CBD??!! I hear Tauranga's CBD is full of empty shops and National / NZF voters...

It doesn't get said enough that Nats have built just 45 State houses since coming into government, no one is being housed in your ghost houses Bishop and now you want to hunt people off the streets? Where worse can you send them, the sewers where you slither? #NZPol

I found an ancient tapestry. Circa 1995...

Have they considered low unemployment, a liveable wage, affordable housing and breaking overpriced supermarket duopolies?

Chris Bishop demonstrating the selection process used for fritters millions of dollars of taxpayers' assets to party donors...

And the funny thing is, underneath, they're the same car. Basically.

Ok it's finally happening. My Calendar 2026 is now available for pre-order. Printing by end of the month to allow for international shipping. (sorry no international orders just yet, still setting that up). So happy I could cry. paullecomtephoto.nz/products/202...

Did Bowden host all of them?

How are these two, who have been so instrumental in the economic and employment destruction, not amongst the 160,000?

And this is more cr@p from Stuff. The heading is utterly misleading. The punter didnt bet $730k - he bet SEVEN DOLLARS FIFTY CENTS! But thats how rubbishy our media has become. Not just trivia presented as "news",but openly misleading. (4/4)

A must read for any educators "The reforms have been roundly criticised for removing and minimising the place of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, te reo Māori and mātauranga Māori in education.".... e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-...

Absolutely amazing: they've got so much solar in Australia that they need more people to use more of it, so the gov't has instructed energy retailers to offer *at least three hours of free power* during the middle of the day. Meanwhile fossil-addled US struggles with an energy-price crisis ...

Elizabeth Rata is *at best* a crank and the fact that Minister Stanford gave her so much influence is malpractice.

Let's be clear: the removal of Te Tiriti from the Education and Training Act is an attack on the human rights of every child in every school.

I can only read the first 3 paragraphs of this, but calling Emily Writes a "blogger" given her very impressive background is a bit naff. Anyway, ask me why I helped pen the letter template to Andrew Little 🙂 #nzpol www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

I was in a discussion last night where it was pointed out that what is happening here is exactly what happened in the UK with Gove, & it hasn’t turned out so great for them over there. We have to stop this, MUST stop this!! #nzpol

There have been so many stories in just our seven years, and we have so many crafters, but the thing crafters and people searching to buy the perfect gift have in common is they all want to knock it out of the park!

Oh wow that’s an impressive number of close off’s and massive for it to be the last one.

That is amazing! These little (huge) moments are why people sign up, and, I'm sure, why @foxylustygrover.bsky.social @ninjakitty.bsky.social @orthanc.nz & the crew keep putting in the time, effort, blood, sweat & tears into this slice of what makes AoNZ special.

Hey, hey it's Monday that wonderful day of the week where we celebrate all the small to big wins with everything in between. Mine is that I have been getting a lot of stuff done before I have a carpal tunnel surgery tomorrow. What's yours?

Waipukurau's Killer Boobs worth a look?! www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-t...

So TPM is both a very minor party therefore the media can dismiss them without a thought, and also the biggest party ever now that there is infighting so the media are right to talk endlessly about them.

This is why I #SecretSantaAoNZ

Being a wannabe National Party MP / Spokesperson / Schill is indeed "concerning behavior" that NZ's media should already have been aware / immune to...

"When you cut nearly 400 jobs in MPI, it's going to make a big, big impact, and the government needs to just admit that it was wrong, step up and fund them properly, and just throw everything at it that they can to eliminate these hornets, before next summer." Well who wouldve thought?! Next...(1)

If the ex All Blacks come for you, people and the media will pay attention. Seymour's in the shit now. #nzpol
