Well Mr Prime Minister, capitalism has failed society so maybe socialism is what’s required.

Kiwi Way strikes again

LP.8.1 vaccine availability From 2 March 2026, the COVID-19 vaccine for people aged 12+ will be updated from JN.1 to Comirnaty LP.8.1. The vaccine for children has already moved to LP.8.1 and the vaccine for infants will change during February. www.pharmac.govt.nz/medicine-fun...

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

And how much are they paying in tax?

NZ be like...

What's wrong with this picture, #NZPOL ?

in order to save this country we are probably going to have to do things that make rich men sad 😔

Limited number of prime ministers, but a lot of months under Prime Minister's to be data points. As ever, another graph I haven't updated since 2019. A Labour Female Prime Minister in a period of 10% growth has a lower Business Confidence rating than a National Male Prime Minister with -5% growth

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Helluva rollercoaster day for NZ Herald yesterday 'numbers day fellas, get ready to fluff the govt' 'oh shit, the numbers are bad' 'it's not good fellas, but lets fluff the govt anyways'. Fucking farce

Brad being Brad.

Another day in paradise

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Builds high efficency battery chargers but can't put a solar panel on their roof

When the government is one of the biggest customers of many businesses and you cut spending which means private enterprises don’t make money and so they also don’t hire any of the public servants you fired for no reason, you end up with the economy we have now. Even Nicola should get this.

My apologies to France, I was not familiar with your game.

Did Māori cede sovereignty? The historical answer is clearer than politics allows

Has Mark Mitchell resigned yet?

Pep Guardiola used a news conference to speak out on a range of humanitarian issues, including calling the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by U.S. federal agents indefensible and again expressing his support for Palestinians. More from Sam Lee & @lukebosher.bsky.social

This did not age well. (Article was posted at about 10.20am. Unemployment stats came out at 10.45am. Unemployment is up.) #nzpol

Back on track? Tied to the tracks more like. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Green shoots baby www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Bloody hell. More people out of work. Time to stop wittering about "green shoots" and face the reality: this government is failing New Zealanders. #nzpol www.stats.govt.nz/indicators/u...

Can't lose all your citizens to Australia if you're a part of Australia

Funny how they want full disclosure over other people, but no scrutiny over themselves

@domesticanimal.bsky.social gets it exactly right as always. www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Mark of Cain singer comes out as trans ‘to finally live as myself’

I lose a big chunk of my uh monthly job winnings to tax! And I have expenses!

Obvs my instinctive reaction is fuck off, but could someone please get DPF on the record that he wants Aus labour law and property taxes in NZ plz

Some pundits genuinely think right wing economic strategies work. But as Kiwisaver hardship withdrawals double to half a billion %, company liquidations hit records higher than the GFC, and 140,000+ Kiwis leave our shores, it pays to remember - their confidence is unmatched by capability #nzpol

Y'all we are cooked

Considering all of the fires regarding the Epstien Files, one would think our media would finally pick up the Tim Jago Story and start asking why David Seymour and others hid this from everyone. Oh right, we don't have actual journalism in Aotearoa (in the mainstream media, at least). #nzpol

JK Rowling in the the Epstein files getting him tickets to Cursed Child and arranging a private dinner???? that play premiered in 2016 so this was well after he was convicted in 2008 so I need this to be brought up every time that transphobe opens her mouth or unfurls her fingers to spew venom

The NZ Free speech union has Dr Pinker talking them tonight. He is on video on a plane with Epstein and a young girls voice is heard asking where she is being taken. Amoral at the least to be paying him to speak.

So get your restricted, sit back and wait 12 months, and then apply for a full licence?

Nope

Now can they pay some tax too?

Consistent with sportspeople but FFS, would I get that leniency because of my potential career, I think not.
