Oh, a special bribery zone, where Shame Jones gets to hand out consents (in exchange for bribes) to his personal cronies. Fuck that shit www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

BREAKING ‼️ My members bill has just been drawn from the biscuit tin that would draw a line in stopping any new mining on public Conservation land 🌳🦎🐧🐝🦋 ...with all the Government's attacks on nature, this could not come at a more critical time. Big ups to the original bill holder Eugenie Sage 🙌

Example:

For the past six weeks, an AI Facebook account has been pulling my history posts on Instagram and slopping out new captions, so I’ve been feeding it poison pills and its followers are having meltdowns in the comments. It’s been pretty spectacular.

If you're a sensible human being and only want to email the Social Services and Community Select Committee who'll be considering the Marcroft Bill, here they all are. Their details are here: www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/scl...

Seymour is going to cause unnecessary deaths for the sake of his personal ideology.

Hipkins seems to be NZ’s version of Keir Starmer. Gently drifting towards the Right, and having nothing of substance to say or do.

As horrifying as this is, these brains may have more capacity than the NZ government. We should hear them out

Found it. Fuck me that was worse than I thought I remembered

new zealander everlee wihongi - kidnapped by ICE 41 days ago - was meant to take the stand today in front of a wisconsin judge. but ICE had other plans. webworm has the latest on this story - please RT, and share: www.webworm.co/everleemay21/

Finance Minister Nicola Willis and one of her plans for saving her Budget. My #cartoon today #NZpol #PublicService

incredibly exciting day today as we break cover on Lume, and get to start sharing everything we've been working on for the last couple of years. you'll see us everywhere in the Aotearoa media today, but I also wanted to share what it means to me personally. newsletter.sachajudd.com/archive/anno...

I don't loathe Nicola Willis because she's a woman or a Tory. I despise her because she's an insufferably stupid, mendacious and feckless ghoul who is astonishingly shit at her taxpayer-funded job. #nzpol

Great charity shop find

I say never forget, never forgive. Such an awful person, happily punching down on the most vulnerable with a smile on her face.

In Aotearoa New Zealand (and in the USA and the UK) the neoliberal con actually started in the 1980s. It has run its course only in the sense that, as planned, the world is now run by a handful of multi-billionaires and true democracy is on life support while ordinary folk get poorer and poorer.

National are about to fuck up another generation of Kiwi kids. I know they love fucking exams. I hated them. There's absolutely no scenario in the world where you have to sit down for 2-3 hours and answer question expertly on a single subject outside of exams. They test the ability to take exams.

The best place to be when It happens would be a music venue mid-concert. A little drunk. A little sweaty. The news rippling through the crowd as people’s phones light up. An abrupt halt to a banger before the announcement is made from the stage. Everybody kissing like it’s V-J Day in Times Square.

We've normalized working people living out of their cars because we can't normalize taxing billionaires.

I am SO OVER lefties making out like the Bish is "one of the good guys" when he is quite happy to sell our vulnerable communities down the river. The Bish values his career, his paycheck, and his wealthy mates over ordinary NZers. Folk need to stop pretending that Tories care about us #nzpol

This is cycling in the Netherlands 🧡 Wide, quiet and scenic paths for both recreational cyclists and commuters.

It will be interesting to see this government actually choose social stability over the bottom line. It hasn't happened yet. #nzpol

Ever since the whole FBI office in Wellington malarkey things have been weird and uncomfortable. The rare minerals stuff. The complete lack of opposition to the genocide. This partnership is deeply troubling. This should be a bigger election issue.

Saying it louder for those in the back: "The United States was not founded, in any sense, on Christian principles. It's simply not true." More people would know this if they were taught history without restrictions. History doesn’t fit your narrative. #Pinks @timothysnyder.bsky.social

Unlikely

The student loan scheme was only introduced in New Zealand in 1992. Before that it was possible for a unistudent doing part time work to emerge debt free, walk into employment & walk into a bank & get a mortgage for a starter home avoiding the rent trap entirely. Time to rise up. #nzpol

we don’t really need to report on/talking about this using dumb incel culture terminology. we can just call it “male body dysmorphia” because that’s what it actually is

I came across a David Attenborough documentary on YouTube that autoplayed after some archive footage from the 60s. The entire thing was AI video. I thought they just lifted his voice from a different documentary. No his voice was AI too. I could tell because he was just freaking wrong. Shit sucks.

Experience the stunning beauty that surrounds us every day. Dive into a world where nature and art collide in breathtaking harmony.

Taxing the working poor, while the wealthy buy political parties, is not a democracy

-Move fees free to the last year and then dump it all together -Reduce govt Kiwisaver contribution until there’s no contribution -Get rid of personal grievance claim at salaries over $180k then slowly make it for no one -Turn sickness beneficiaries into jobseekers Anti-universalism sucks balls.

The National Party MP Joseph Mooney wanted me fired for my job for speaking out about the patterns of US style white supremacy in NZ politics. Now he is calling for civility and free speech. Essay here: culture-centered.blogspot.com/2025/09/how-...

Half of rentals are owned by people with 4 or more. It's big business, and this "Mum and Dad" idea is a smokescreen.

The thing with fascism is no matter how far you give in, it's never enough until they have absolute control. Media have tried to 'play ball' with this govt with friendly headlines & verbatim quotes, often unchallenged lies - but it won't be enough. We've seen this in the USA too

Recently I opened up Microsoft Teams and was greeted with a deepfaked version of my own face. Here's how we got the Chinese-language software being marketed to scammers, and which can be used on WhatsApp, Zoom, other platforms. This is where fraud is right now More: www.404media.co/hello-boss-i...

There's all this excitement about Pierce Brosnan touring the Auckland Art Gallery... Have these people not see renowned 1999 documentary The Thomas Crown Affair? He was clearly scoping the place out for an audacious heist!

The economics are brutal. Anywhere that a litre of diesel costs more than 10 kilowatt-hours of electricity, an EV truck pays for itself in 12-14 months. After that, it will be more profitable than diesel every single month: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Hey what if, just for one government term, we switched the budgeted funding for the health system (~4b) and the budgeted funding for roads (~25b)
