Unhinged...

*clears throat* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

While the likes of Elizabeth Rata have just pleased themselves about what rules they'll bother to follow, actual frontline educators get slapped with NDAs. It's grimly absurd.

Liam hehir lied on national radio today, he said there hadn't been cuts, as a parent of a disabled child who's support has been cut by his Party of choice, he's part of a very very oppressive group of people, and doesn't follow catholic social teaching (like Willis as well)

Is this not just restarting all the stuff they stopped in 2023 and 2024? You know, when they stopped projects with builders literally on site to save money for their tax cuts?

The eclipse got eclipsed in Napier..

People are going into debt & taking loans for power bills. National said privatisation would reduce bills. Seymour says power companies shouldn’t be renationalised as it would interfere with profits for s/holders. It’s what Seymour wants - profits for private providers ahead of healthcare for us.

So Simeon Brown just announced $20m "investment" in ED frontline staff, immediately after it was revealed Christchurch hospital is in code red every single day. But it turns out it's just OLD money from the 2025 budget & already allocated. Brown strikes again #nzpol #Kiwi

I think this is a testament to the mahi of Zealandia wildlife sanctuary, we’ve had Kākā in our suburb for a couple of years, but for the first time we’ve had them in our garden, having a feed on our Kōwhai! Amazing!! Tūī suddenly stay away!! 🌱 #BOTY

Attention, Aotearoa New Zealand Long list of recalled Tasti brand products - suspected presence of metal fillings. www.mpi.govt.nz/food-safety-...

If you’ve bought Tasti snacks recently or know others who have, please read and pass on this info about the recall. Just want spread in case it helps someone ✌️ #nzpol #bhn #nz www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

My brother from another Supermarionette mother!

The decision of the Luxon Govt to cancel the NZ Battery Project, which would have underpinned security of the nz electricity network, sure looks short sited as we watch the wave of industrial closures driven, in part, by security of supply and high prices of electricity.

Willis is a list MP. No one comes to her office for "electorate matters". Lol. Maybe she's not aware of this as well as all the other things she's not aware of.

Guys, is it a good negotiating tactic to insist that the other folks are at fault when they are doctors (most trusted profession in 2023) and you are a politician (second-least trusted profession)? Asking for a little ratty boy.

According to his Facebook page, Life in One Chord star Shayne Carter is doing solo gigs in Nelson, Blenheim, Lyttelton, Oamaru, Invercargill and Hokitika next month

Hey you. Yes you. Can you unclench your jaw and unpretzel yourself? You're doing great. Luv you.

If only we had journalists who would incessantly ask the people in charge "why are you defunding NZ science?" The arithmetic is easy guys you just gotta ask every politician, again and again, to defend their choices

As the uptake of solar power accelerates, New Zealand should develop policy that requires recycling of panels and supports installations on rental properties.

Imports of cheap Chinese preserved peaches skyrocketed in 2024, and Wattie's has been seeking Government intervention.

Noooo!!

At least some good news to end the day... Stuart Nash dumped from trade trip after crude comments www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Utterly ridiculous. We're a giant fruit basket, cow farm and font of renewable energy sources in a time of rising commodity prices. You would have to be completely incompetent to fuck this up so badly *listens to earpiece* just a moment I'm hearing that the government IS completely incompetent

yeah guys we're not handing it to Roger Douglas, he's *not* in the right , he's mad she hasn't fucked NZ *enough*.

Wait! Douglas doesn't think Willis has fucked up, he thinks she hasn't fucked New Zealand's healthcare system and old people up ENOUGH!? (Nothing to do with canceled ferrie fees, and billions in tax cuts to landlords and big tobacco, eh?) There's the toxic old cretin we all know and despise!

The fact that she still has a portfolio after the $671M ghost ferries debacle still blows me away. 🤯 #nzpol

You know you done fucked up when..

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: In Kmart at 9pm. Two men (late teens) are looking at the Star Wars Lego. One slowly says to the other: "Hey...whaddya think the Death Star smells like?" The other frowns: "Dunno. Lynx deodorant?" Thoughtful silence follows. (1)

I love the way National, in opposition, refused to acknowledge that global markets were the main driver of inflation, but in government, after a massive campaign of cuts, they're all like "waaaah, global pressure!"

New research overrides the Government’s insistence that nursing shifts are safely staffed, suggesting thousands more hires are needed. My analysis: newsroom.co.nz/2025/09/18/s...

Hahaha, Talleys is so hopeless. You know if you bring a defamation case seeking costs, you'd better bring receipts. www.1news.co.nz/2025/09/16/t...

Sounds like someone was "blowing smoke," and it wasn't Snoop!

D is the best option by far.

It’s a nitrate emergency alright. Canterbury has landscape scale toxic water contamination from industrial dairy. And the current Govt is deliberately making it worse and this is the second emergency - our Govt is captured by agribusiness www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

it's cool how when you're great friends with luxon (and the CEO of private healthcare firm tend) you can text luxon's office staff to figure out how to "best get in front of Simeon Brown urgently"

Honestly, the incoherence noted in this thread is ridiculous.

I can't find the Casey Costello corruption news on front page of any media but RNZ. That's been the case from the start. Also, this isn't the first time she's been found acting contrary to the law. The Chief Ombudsman found the same last year & not one journo is chasing this ex TPU Chair anywhere

So the media and opposition politicians will hound Costello for days and demand apology and discipline, nay, resignation? #nzpol

*deep breath* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

Hey chat in terms of actually running a country is this objectively worse than shoplifting? Looking forward to months of articles if so #nzpol

Kuhu Mai turns Hastings car parks into new park space for unhoused whānau www.nzherald.co.nz/hawkes-bay-t...

Is it even a love song if there's not a random spoken word section in a different language from the rest of the song? I would argue not. Happy #tewikiotereomāori you fullas www.youtube.com/watch?v=5trF...

I know rock fishing is quite common, but this is just bloody CHEATING!

No, we don't.

Branding is off Napier Countdown now. Soon, Napier will have twin Woolworths across the road from each other!

First it was the haka in parliament that was intimidating, now it is clergy protesting outside the office.

I’m thrilled to make an appearance in the latest episode of “SpongeBob SquarePants” (I play I.M. Poster, the pirate who sings the slightly altered theme song in “Bizarro Bottom”)!

Things I have discovered about the UK after 40ish years away. The sparrows are all gone. Sheep on Yr Wyddfa have a strange half smile. High streets that have independent brands are thriving. Those that have standard retail brands are not. It is not standard to have a fridge in budget motels.
