It's been another hell week for #nzpol. Take a break and celebrate Dr Bex's kid's album track. Have a listen and pass it on. And have a relaxing weekend, whanau.

I did my PhD on environmental impacts of one of the largest gold mines on Earth. This one, in my beautiful community with the clearest water in the world at threat of arsenic & tailings pollution, is an atrocity: Fast-track fears coalesce at proposed Golden Bay mine newsroom.co.nz/2025/11/12/f...

hey @pault.bsky.social You were saying?

The UFW stands w/ @sbworkersunited.org workers going on strike today. For nearly 4 yrs, Starbucks baristas have been fighting for a fair union contract, just like the fight that farmworkers face, far too often, when up against greedy employers. Join us in our support. #NoContractNoCoffee

AoNZ, does this look familiar? It should. #nzpol

If there was ever any doubt they're working for the same people 😠 #nzpol

Guys, stop digging. Really. #nzpol

Because when in doubt, start a stressful and time-consuming restructure!! It's the New Zealand way! 😒 #nzpol

#jafas, have your say on Simeon Brown bullying Auckland transport to remove a few metres of cycleway. The intersection here handles 40,000 vehicles per day. Bikes are not the problem. #TamakiMakaurau #BuildMoreBikeLanes

please give these workers a couple of bucks if you can spare it. tysm #kikorangi #nzpol

So if Andrew Coster had had his way, we would have had an alleged corrupt sex abuser and (now) convicted child pornographer and horse fucking enthusiast leading the police. "Law and order", right?

big fucking surprise. have any of those useless pricks tried finding a job recently? something permanent with decent pay? we've had a precarious workforce for years and now people have just given up? this is not the fault of workers, this is squarely at the feet of our two main parties. #nzpol

Wayne Brown go and lay at the bottom of your ocean pool thing for 20 years challenge.

Auckland's Mayor Thinks It's Up To Central Govt To Establish Workhouses I just can't with these people... To our unhoused whanau, and the good citizens of Ngāruawāhia - I'm truly sorry. That colonial mentality dies hard. #jafas #nzpol via @bernardchickey.bsky.social

Our train guy is checking our Hop cards bi-lingually and it is a delight! Ka pai!!

Savings advice. I have some. 1. Vote in a Govt that DOESN’T gut employment, lower wages & kick pay equity to touch. 2. Vote in a Govt committed to affordable housing for all. 3. Vote in a Govt that is committed to affordable childcare, PT and free healthcare - including dentistry. 1/2 #nzpol

Another banger from @domesticanimal.bsky.social #nzpol

in addition to the #sparecat, this girl moved in as well 🙄 #chickenlife #sparechicken

Politics, I hear you ask? Why, yes. Under this fossil fuel-driven government, every inch of bike lane constructed and every bike ride is an act of rebellion. #BuildMoreBikeLanes #jafa #nzpol

Giving people $$ to purchase their own healthcare? Gosh, where have we heard those exact same words, AoNZ? Beware RW grifters pretending to gaf about your wellbeing. #nzpol

People seem very squeamish about taxing billionaires, and now we're seeing suggestions of a trillionaire When you look at it as a number, you won't feel as squeamish A billion $1,000,000,000 A trillion $1,000,000,000,000 #taxtherich

Receipts Oh boy, the receipts

Friends! Have you seen this auction? There's TONS of items up for bid! Super cute items, one-of-a-kind items, gift items! And all to support a good cause! Check it out! 🐾🐾

#NZpol "All of the economists I speak to..." say we're recovering says Nicola Willis. Brad in person, Brad on the television AND Brad on the telephone then? Amaaaazing🙄 "Jobs are always the last to recover..." she continues, having presided over a Govt that *sacked 1000s without good reason*.

This cause is close to my heart - please sign: our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/ge...

why are there still dickheads setting off fireworks? why?? 😭

If the official unemployment rate for Pacific people is 12%, dollars to donuts the rate for Pacific youth is closer to 20%. Then there's this cn*t 'I am very confident we are in a recovery. All of the economists I speak to think that the economy is currently growing...' Oh please #nzpol

Treasury has tunnel vision. As a sovereign nation we print our own money. A wealth, inheritance & CGT b4 one more asset sale. Make Treasury redundant & save $43.6m per year.

I'd replace the word "gullible" with complicit, or corrupt. My honest opinion is that there is money going into pockets or campaign funds. And I would love a criminal investigation into the current government. Wanting to give $ to yet another company with a history of corruption.

Treasury advice gets us into the schtuck and the best they can come up with is 'asset sales'. They're as fucking useless as they were 40 years ago. #nzpol

Thank you all so much! I went down the curry paste/ fish sauce and lemon juice route. We get a Thai curry paste from the local greengrocer and it's pretty good. Not perfect but OK and will try again. 🥜🥜🌶️🌶️

The crown has done reprehensible things to minimise victims claims and chance of redress. It is still happening but now with financial redress. #nzpol “The Crown lawyer was musing on the idea of psychological stress and its impact on the victim’s mental health as a means to win the legal fight.”

Please send a couple of bucks for your local foodbank if you can 😸

OK amazing cooks. I need a good doable (I'm not a great cook) peanut sauce recipe. If you could share in the replies I'd be very grateful. Thanks 😁 #kikorangi #kai

@fmacskasy.bsky.social has already posted this but I'm going to repost because it seems relevant. AoNZ has always had high youth suicide rates and now we've thrown them to the wolves. #nzpol

Well, well, well.🤔 "Turning the corner", "has peaked" with "green shoots", AND "fixed the foundations" ... all at the same time. Wow! Unclear of evidence of *actual* achievement. But, awesome clickbait☹️. Can we wait for next deliverable to be communicated? 😠😡 www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

YES!!! Stop listening to your establishment political consultants and give the people something to vote for.

spineless, weasley cowards all of them. if you're happy to destroy the planet at least have the courage of your convictions and tell people. #nzpol

Like some others of you, I keep thinking I've reached Peak Hate with this govt. But they always come through with more surprises. So tired of braindead policies that just inflict more misery. And Goldsmith may be the worst of them 🤬 #nzpol

Banning fireworks is the thing that could turn me into a single issue voter. But not NZLast, not now. Maybe another time.

Fuck these guys

nzlabour should sack its Wellington consultants and do the same. #nzpol
