Very useful video to settle debates (in New Zealand, and elsewhere) on whether increasing speed limits on highways from 100kmph to 120kmph make any sense. You only ever save, at best, around one minute. Taken from Instagram, www.instagram.com/reel/DaP4kyF... #nzpol

This is very useful information

I think we should start measuring government programmes in Hayden Donnell's 'metres of roading'. Lowering the age of bowel cancer screening to 45? 5 metres of road. A year of Three Waters? 63 metres of road. Reading recovery? 13mm of road.

19/20 Have a go

July 2nd, 1982: A Los Angeles man, Larry Walters, took off from his backyard in a lawn chair attached to 42 Army surplus weather balloons. Lawnchair Larry ascended to 16,000 feet and descended by shooting out the balloons with a pellet gun. He was fined by the FAA.

How about we don’t govern by bro code in 2026?

So when the Luxon regime says that NZ needs imported LPG to keep the lights on, they really mean they need it to give peace of mind to the slop-merchants. #nzpol www.404media.co/henrico-virg...

Loading zone unavailable because it’s a clearway during the morning commute? No problem for these guys apparently

saw this question posed, checked the map, immediately burst out laughing

How is it the power grid couldn’t handle electric cars but it will be fine with all these data centers?

🔥 "The experience that people are having of politics getting ever more toxic & our society becoming ever more divided is ABSOLUTELY caused by deeply, extreme inequality. If we want to meaningfully arrest those issues as a country, then we need to tackle wealth inequality." @greens.org.nz #TaxTheRich

In today’s NZ Herald

The exact distribution of who gets the most from the income tax changes is interesting. Almost all earners get something but there is a dip above $40k.

Interested in how the Green Party's tax plan would impact you? I have another calculator! Most workers would get a cut, but some workers would get a much larger one thanks to the rejig of brackets across the board. www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361...

What I would love to see in the Greens tax discussion: 1. Repeated comparisons to other countries. NZers are very insecure and we need to be told that everyone else already has tax-free thresholds, wealth taxes, inheritance taxes; the phrase “it’s a bit embarrassing” is NZ kryptonite.

This was just shared by @naomialderman.bsky.social and it deserves the widest possible audience. Ladies and gentlemen and all others, for your graphic design delight, I present… … the logo for the Paris Tennis School.

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

It's time for the super-rich and big corporations to pay their fair share. Visit greens.org.nz to learn how "A Tax System for All of Us" can build a fairer country for everyone 💚✊

The decision to shoot most of this video at the Michael Joseph Savage memorial is pretty spectacular, tbh.

Tax cuts for 96% of New Zealanders. #nzpol Greens propose wealth, corporate, and inheritance taxes to fund income tax changes www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

McSweeney’s on the economics of the AI bubble. This description of AI driven layoffs is excellent satire.

"Tell Jabba I'll get him his money..."

Hey RNZ when you have finished chasing every conceivable edge case for this very cheap proposal, could spare some time to look at the massive $50+billion vast hole that is the govt’s transport policy?

(This turns out to be the case for basically every supplement not specifically prescribed for an actual deficiency that's shown up in medical tests.)

If Shame "Matua hub" Jones is lying about stuff as small as this, imagine the deceit he engages in around ministerial decisions worth millions/billions. #NZFarce #Coc #nzpol #VoteThemOut

I am genuinely boggled that Labour isn't responding to every criticism of the cost of their policies with, "It's less than they paid for No Ferries."

Judges said it was a "superbly executed multi-media story", and it stood out for its impact, as the same week it was published the Government included feral cats as a target of Predator Free 2050.  www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/i...

Without discounting wrongdoing by officials, by same measure, what then of a Minister who misled entire country, & invites intergenerational harms asymmetrically impact Māori? | New Zealand, WHO, and the conversion of disinformation into foreign policy sanjanah.wordpress.com/2026/06/09/n... #nzpol

The magic money tree exists! Chance for the media to practice their newly found finance skills to run a multi day campaign to tear this odious, entitled prick a new one? #NZPol

I’ve been mad at Friedman since the 80s. If there’s been a single architect of the downfall of civilization, it’s him.

It’s not hyperbole that part of what kept the queer liberation movement going in the Reagan era was the partying part of the “bury your friends in the morning, protest in the afternoon, and dance at night” schedule. Without joy there is no air left to fight

did you guys know they still allowed good news

How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways.... #climatecriminals #nzpol

“The government is aggressively utilising Te Tiriti to secure elite global market access, while actively dismantling the domestic legal architecture that is required to give the text any real meaning,” writes Nicola Hoobin about NZ trade agreements such as the one signed with India this year #nzpol

I know Calvin’s dad is already having a moment, but every terrible “outsource precious and fleeting moments with your children to tech so that you can spend more time on your work” pitch makes me think of that one strip I never really cared about as a kid, but care a lot about as an adult.

How have these clowns kept their jobs? (rhetorical) Shane Jones Chris Luxon David Seymour All 3 have threatened media organisations.

I want every journo and presenter to push back firmly and immediately whenever a Minister tells them to 'be careful'. Deliberately erosive. #NzPol
