Just FYI, I’ve been a regular subscriber even while I’ve been on a ‘Carer’s Allowance’ benefit/bludger payment while caring for mum. Totally worth it.

A lot of people might say that the Nats have extraordinary audacity to announce a headline policy about KiwiSaver that largely just reverses changes they made when last in government

Thou shalt not kill baby ducks and then blame it on ‘radical leftist lunatics’ because you’re an anti-science moron.

Surely we can do both?

It is wildly frustrating how unusable Google has become. Just looking for jello mold recipes. I tried duckduckgo and holy cow it was nice to have the search just work. All I want is the search to do is, you know, search the interwebs? Silly. I know. 🤷‍♀️

AotearoaNZ whānau - anyone associated with VOYCE? Can you please DM if so? #nz

I went to a restaurant. It was packed. No place to sit & a wait that was over 30 minutes. I pulled out my phone, held it to my ear & said loud enough for everyone to hear, “Hey. Get over here, he’s here with someone else.” 5 couples got up & left quickly. Got a table in under a minute.

There are reasons I say never trust a conservative.

Happy Father’s Day to all the Bluesky users on here who make bad jokes

The planet isn't dying. It is being murdered. By greed, pollution, deforestation, plastic, oil, and endless consumption. We call it development, yet forests are vanishing. We call it progress, yet rivers are turning toxic. We call it business, yet the air is turning into poison.

This was our PlayStation in our day 😂

The shortest hour of the day is from 4-6 o’clock.

Just watched this interview with Chloe Swarbrick. She is just so impressive. Do yourself a favour and watch it if you need a shot of hope #nzpol

Sorry, no #MWSecretSantaAoNZ this year. Apart from @foxylustygrover.bsky.social being very ill, we Elves have not had the spoons either to make it the event we all love. Hopefully by the end of the year normal service will resume ✌️❤️

The Minister of Education and the Smart Tool. My #cartoon today #NZpol #Education

A timely read. www.thepress.co.nz/business/361...

There's no alt text, but basically it's this cool optical illusion thing where if you look at one of the purple dots, the rest start to fade away. Eyes and vision are so weird. 🤣

Something, something, price of EGGS. Who needs a war to shaft consumers? #nzpol

Every now and then the ol' fella sounds like an actual mayor 😂😂😂 #nzpol

A low income doesn’t equal criminal Ffs. Shame on the Browns Bay residents who want people without adequate resources out of sight and out of mind. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/regions...

So you're not a big corporation or earn a truckload of money? Then they don't care about you, or your family.

The scum CoC gang have to be voted out in November.. they not only have demolished decency in living standards, but reduced health/education/policing.. trying hard to sell off pristine lands, give themselves HUGE salaries n entitlements, blame the last govt for their failures, pollute the air/sea

Totally inept minister for health and safety. She has never stepped out of her office to a work site. Only listened to barrackers and moaners on the campaign trail or her political donors. Nasty piece of work for what she did to women in swiping away 33 pay equity claims.

Bare faced lying - luckily for him, Luxon has no issue with dishonesty.

"The United States was the only other country to vote against a suite of safety assurances, minimum wage standards and protections against being unfairly kicked off online platforms." Embarassing doesn't begin to describe the fuckery 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️ #nzpol

This ought to be career ending, I doubt it will be (Remember Michael Wood's shares?🤦🏻‍♂️) #nzpol

Free prescriptions Public transport caps Free maternity scans ❤️ policy that supports in the cost of living crisis and National hasn’t a leg to stand on. Billions/millions for no ferries, tobacco companies, landlords, tax cuts that benefitted the very wealthy, wasted money and damaged us. #mzpol

And yet they go on tv to describe this conservation land grab as 'low conservation value land' somethng like 'a decrepit building' that no-one wants that just happens to be on conservation land.

"....and gives the Conservation Minister more power to "exchange or dispose" of conservation land." These assclowns really are trying to burn it all to the ground before they they get the fuck outta dodge 🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾 #nzpol

DR CONGO'S GOAL & CELEBRATION! 🥹🥹🥹

Stanford is a liar. An insulting liar at that. We have plenty of extremely capable people able to compare our curriculum against those of other countries. How dare she! #nzpol

It comes after RNZ reported Smith accused the government of a "co-ordinated campaign of secret lobbying" following the court ordered release of previously undisclosed documents. At the time, the prime minister indicated he only became aware of the document through the media. #nzpol

Does anyone actually answer questions during Scrutiny week? Otherwise, might want to rethink the name 🤷🏾‍♂️ #nzpol

I know, so many terrors it's hard to get track of them all, but if you haven't put in your submission for this one yet, it's very important and not to be missed. Link to submissions are in the second skeet of the quoted thread. 💚

Taps the sign.... bsky.app/profile/kent...

Shell gaslighting the fuck out of New Zealanders. "Ah it can take some time for the global oil prices to flow through and affect gas prices here" Yeah well you put prices up day fukn one you lying cunts.

Bob Odenkirk is a national treasure. Take 44 seconds and watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0rB...

Today’s Bluesky phenomenon (at least for me). Porn account promoters with a link in their bio, but no posts, who like a lot of my comments (not my posts). I hope fake accounts don’t start predominating here

The reason that he’s paying Iran 300 million is fake news is because it’s 300 billion.

Dr Ben said she was "outraged" and that many of her colleagues locally and nationally were angry at this unprecedented move by a health minister. "Cultural safety does say, look at your own biases, I wonder if the minister needs to look at his," #nzpol

I regularly drive the Hawke’s Bay expressway that’s having lanes added over a stupidly short distance & thinking how much better that money should have been prioritised REPAIRING AN ESSENTIAL BRIDGE, & investing in increasing public transport so it’s REALLY useful & cost effective for locals #nzpol

What the fuck has happened to people? This is just ridiculously dangerous, and for what?

That is sad, but then I had a lady at a farmer's market tell me she didn't want my eggs. A chicken shit them out she says. I told her all eggs come from the same place. No, she wants the store eggs that they make in the back of the store! I don't think my opinion can go lower.

I've just heard two grown adults ask each other what chicken broth is And then Google it My faith in humanity continues to plummet

Why do people get so obsessed taking about box office results. Did you like the movie? Yes or No. How the movie performed has no bearing on your life. Be happy, stop worrying.

I don't think many people understand how much we are paralleling the US in the contemptuous hijack of democracy and corrosive shutdown of evidence and knowledge bases. It's like there is a hard right box of chocolates and we are just eating them in a different order. #NZPol

And here's the reason for Seymour's "bully boy" antics..... Party of fiscal responsibility my ass 💩💩💩 How the fuck do you spend 17k over 2 years on parking!?! 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️ #nzpol
