"The absolute idiocy of slashing 9,000 jobs just so they can spend four times as much on expensive consultants." Tamatha Paul @greens.org.nz 8:50pm, 20 May #nzpol

Really have a hard time getting over all these guyAIs looking at this world simply teeming with problems with well known solutions & deciding the best way they can help is to create whole new global problems that no human alive even remotely understands never mind knows how to actually fix

The AI business strategy has almost entirely become: "corruptly install this in government departments, AGAINST public wishes, and then extract wealth FOREVER because we have their data hostage"

Also: if you must, for some reason, frame your message around distraction, it is *entirely possible* to do this without minimising the issue. "National are so desperate to distract NZers from their litany of failures that they're throwing trans people under the bus and we won't stand for it"

Seymour: we want a smaller govt Also Seymour: can I keep growing my new govt ministry This guy 🤦 #nzpol

Perhaps business owners who want less taxed income from capital gains should consider working for a living. In a job

The Coalition of Corruption putting ideology before reality once again. #NZpol #OneTermGovt #VoteThemAllOut

They're right you know

So which MPs in Parliament are planning to be the Genital Detectives? Are we expecting ACT Party officials outside bathrooms, with their recent history? Are National MPs volunteering to check the sports locker rooms on the weekends? Is NZ First pledging to be undermining your privacy? #nzpol

Tldr: I went to the famous Oxford Union Debate to hold Empire accountable. Against 3 older power laden men pimping for colonisation. No biggie. I shat myself. It was terrifying. I won by just agreeing to do it, and telling my story anyway. But the win of 163-86 was a bonus. youtu.be/SlZE8BT_fio?...

Transparency, yeah nah These fucking arseholes are just mirroring the Trump administration #nzpol

Who here knows a contact at FIANZ? @alinasu33.bsky.social's no longer there, and I don't want to trouble her anymore. Need to flick through something to alert community on what's in a new manifesto modelled on ChCh killer's one, now accessible on social media. Have sent Police. Please DM me. #nzpol

Willis and Goldsmith talking about replacing people with LLMs just highlights their lack of understanding of the technology and all the reporting on how that is going in corporate America (badly) #nzpol

The world feels way too awful. I think I gotta get off the socials and take a walk. Fuck all these bigoted, money hoarding (or wannabe money hoarding) assholes literally destroying everything good about life just so they can have it all to themselves as everything else dies. FUCK ALL OF YOU ASSHOLES

Hey Nicola Willis. I can be just as useless as Christopher Luxon for only $100k. I also have friends who are willing to be just as useless as everyone in the current cabinet for only 100k each. Save millions without degrading coalition uselessness. Win Win. #OneTermGovernment #nzpol

#NZpol Ah. It's a pretty simple exercise from his point of view... "Everyone has to tighten their belt — except the office of Prime Minister, why would you do that, DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" Given how much Luxon bends to his will and Seymour doesn't frighten him, we all know who the real PM here.

this is where we are at #NZPol

"Everyone just wants a decent cost of living, secure home and their privacy. Today the Government has instead chosen to import another culture war to try confuse and divide us." Chlöe Swarbrick @greens.org.nz 20 May #nzpol

ACT thinks the definition of a "woman" is someone you can definitely say is safe from your former party president.

National thinks the definition of "woman" is someone you pay less because otherwise the economy falls down

* This variant has no therapeutics or vaccine. * WHO is struggling to respond, in part because Trump left WHO and pulled out our money. *monitoring is late, and people in the area are on the move because of armed conflict. apnews.com/article/ebol...

If Democrats had the political instincts and media machine Republicans do, in 48 hours 95% of Americans would know Andrew Paul Johnson's name and be LIVID that the government is getting ready to give him some of your tax money

A great example of how creating *and enforcing* marine protected areas works! 🌊

A reminder that this year is an election year. - Public service cuts are NOT inevitable. - Depriving the Public Sector to get "efficiencies" and "savings" is NOT inevitable. - Privatisation of our public resources is NOT inevitable. Register to Vote. Get your whānau to Vote. #nzpol

Every damn day, #ChristopherLuxon's govt boils my piss. Critical minerals being sent to #Trump's war? 🤬🤬🤬HELL NO 🤬🤬🤬 #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Turning the corner #NZpol #sketch #cartoon

It really is quite remarkable how far the NZD has dropped against the AUD - as the economic vandalism of Willis & Luxon has become more apparent it just keeps falling. #nzpol

It's funny that the pie hasn't been growing but the very rich have been increasing their wealth by taking more and more of it. That's the issue that the barely-numerate finance minister Nicola Willis needs to address, not the size of the pie. #nzpol

What the fuck. Why is RNZ posting junk-tank nonsense. These people are just pure propagandists! Funded by the corrupt fossil fuel and tobacco lobbies. Get your shit together RNZ!! #nzpol
