Time to email people. Esp if you're a Wellington city constituent. This open corruption and laissez-faire response is the type that will create even more havoc if it is not quickly dealt with. [email protected] [email protected] #NZpol

How many chances is this Chung going to get? These free passes men give to each other for any kind of despicable or unethical behaviour are eternal.

How's that chair appointment going, Wellington?? #nzpol

Imagine fighting to keep shitty, shitty Courtenay Place the way it is…

Watching the Prime Minister doco and the March 19 mosque attack and reminded how David Seymour was the ONLY MP who voted against the gun reforms.

"It was hard work to try and get $44 billion worth of savings out of the back office of the public service so that we could go off and get extra doctors, nurses, corrections officers, and spend that money on the front line" God should strike you down for lying like this you fundy fuck

Imma have one of these daily

The Petty Post. It's exhausting reading their articles full of juvenile perspectives catering to boomer juveniles clutching to a past that broke rules, got contraception, and aged to become their parents' lens. FFS, you whiny bastards. Please die. Respectfully, GenX.

At some point Tracey Watkins needs to get over it.

This is why I refuse to subscribe to The Post. Their persecution of Tory is unforgivable

This is just getting pathetic

He is directly responsible for the sexual & physical violence & abuse experienced by those babies! Our babies! OUR BABIES!

There's a story on 1news from today about a guy getting 5 years for the same thing except he wasn't the top cop in the country. And the time sentenced should not be related to the number of images saved, that's a stupid metric.

TW: Sexual violence and child exploitation I hate this so much. I feel sick. 280 images of toddlers & children. HUNDREDS. Accessing these has an impact on demand, therefore creating more harm to the children and others. This man is a monster and is getting an easy ride.

You're not meant to SAY the "we have to keep the lowest paid poor so everyone else knows they're better than them"

So the supermarkets have breached Golriz’s privacy and were called out by the Privacy Commissioner. 1) Where’s the public apology and cost of damages to Golriz 2) When are these weird men going to stop obsessing over her and other women of colour in politics? #nzpol

I really hope that we can now move on from revoking or reviewing decisions from the last council, and start to look forward for Wellington in 2026 with future focused decisions.

200 cones removed, I think we should have an #nzpol sweepstake as to how many dollars per cone removed the hotline cost. I'll start with $2500

govt spends $750 per road cone to appease people who think $5 per road cone is excessive just normal everyday NZ shit now.

womp womp. Performative culture war policy doesn’t last long. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Well well well www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

INCREDIBLE

nz media intentionally failed to learn the lesson that reporting PR verbatim is bad, now we're here neither Seymour, OR any people reporting on him, would have a career in a half-decent society. But that's not where we are. Both the far-right and nz media have been inching towards outright libel

I really can’t be arsed with another whole year of this nauseating filth. Please make it stop. 🙄 #OneTermGovernment #nzpol

Ending the year MCing a UN Wellington event with a smile and my spark back 💕

Vanessa is a badass 🔥 www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Watching wealthy funders support the worst candidates and make decisions for a city they don’t have to struggle in is… a choice.

It seems pretty clear this was an antisemitic attack on evidence so far, & looks like Aus is going to increase gun controls & support jewish communities - the right things to do NZ politicians & agitators trying to claim that leftwing NZ MPs are somehow to blame is fucking foul & should be punished

Luxon’s reply on last night’s TVNZ interview with Maliki Sherman to her question on whether he would be at Waitangi in 2026. ‘Waitangi ? It’s all drama, soap box stuff.’ Fu¢king racist POS #nzpol

This is such patronising bullshit. We’re not aspiring to “unrealistic” things like a three-day work week, a holiday house and a pony. We want kids fed, a health system, a role in life for everyone. Those things aren’t unrealistic, they’re a *choice* successive governments are making to deny us.

The hero who disarmed one of the gunmen in Bondi has been identified as Ahmed al Ahmed, 43 year old fruit shop owner. He was injured and is currently undergoing surgery www.aa.com.tr/en/asia-paci...

If you’re looking for a lift- and for policy that doesn’t hide bare minimum ideas behind the rhetoric of progress - take a look at the Greens platform. For me, a timely reminder that we don’t move forward by lowering our expectations, but by affirming that hard things can and should be done.👇

one of the greens biggest narrative challenges is people believing that they “can’t deliver” it is imperative that greens engagement over the next 12 months is overtly pitched to show that they can, and will, fight for and implement progressive policy & the comms needs to be highly tangible

I think the bigger news here is not the case of who donated to Wayne but Central Labour being absent yet again. Unless it is to put down a Wahine Toa from running as they did with Hulse and Whanau and put in a very inspid pale, stale male candidate (Goff and Little) newsroom.co.nz/2025/12/12/w...

I've been doing a bunch of media about Australia's social media ban for under 16s this week. NZ looks likely to follow. Before we copy-paste a ban, here’s what actually matters (imo) 👇 #nzpol

There’s a lot more we need to understand before we rush to amalgamate. I don’t buy the argument that pre-empting an onslaught of government reform creates certainty - it could just add the chaos. Let’s take a breath www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Folks in New Zealand should pick up latest copy of Listener magazine. Peter Bale's long form journalism is excellent, and comprehensively captures pulsating far-right landscapes, and what it all risks evolving into given Govt's platforming of, & dalliance with thinly-veiled extremist ideologues.

Shame bro www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Another day, another attack on this principal by David Seymour. If Seymour wanted to avoid a week of drama he could have started by shutting his slop producing mouth. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/education...

The Parliamentary Inquiry into Online Harm and Young People has published their report. Let's get into it! 🧵 The following is my opinion, informed by my own research background. #nzpol selectcommittees.parliament.nz/v/2/8611cb90...

Only way Luxon might get a half decent cabinet.

WTF

It’s not okay. Given the deliberate erosion of norms over the last couple of years, and normalised behaviour which absolutely helps inform our wider culture, it’s more important than ever to say this out loud. Thanks to those who refuse to normalise it - and to dissent out loud on behalf of others.

Ka pai @misswhanau.bsky.social I'm still pissed off that you were hounded out, but enormously grateful for your mahi. You'll be amazing wherever you land next, don't forget to come back💚 #nzpol

“If it’s okay for our ministers to speak like that, saying that our academics suffer from ‘derangement syndrome’, it makes it okay for the general public to say that.”

Proud to stand with Louisa Wall, Marama Davidson, Rawiri Waititi and Green MPs as we delivered a 30k strong petition calling on the PM to bring his ministers into line. Whether it’s Seymour calling academics “deranged,” or Peters taking cheap shots at anyone who disagrees with him, it’s not ok.

You first m8 I'm back on 5 January, I expect to be able to tune into a post-cabinet presser at 4pm that afternoon www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

30,000 signatures calling for integrity from our ministers. Tomorrow I finally hand it over to @maramadavidson.bsky.social. I’m stoked this is my final political action before heading off. I’d love to see you there to support the kaupapa #nzpol

It is such a "blokes blokey we're all mates here" way to minimize abuse of women and play it down as nothing more than an affair "ending badly" 👀
