The Money would go a lot further if it was means tested. I go to docs several times a year, about $75. It would be nice if it was free. But the reality is I don't need the free visits. Better for the country to make someone else's visits free or cheaper www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... #nzpol

The oligarchy wants full control of what we watch and read.

No ferries.⛴️ No trains.🛤️ No trams.🚊 Only roads.🛣️💩😡 #OneTermGovernment #nzpol

I am getting older

Harden the fuck up Brownlee, this is not America. Burning a few sheets of paper isn't worth the time I have wasted on this let alone the time parliament is about to waste on it. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... #nzpol

Man Chlöe is so good! #nzpol

umm. that aged well

So, we are driving down the road at 50 or 6o or what ever the speed limit is, and they want us to whip out our phone and take a photo of a pothole - are they stupid or something? www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa... #nzpol

So lemme get this right, we burned 50k jobs, lost 90k citizens, fucked the energy, retail, hospo, manufacturing businesses, murdered worker rights and equal pay, set fire to public services and threw the entire health service in the dumpster And we didnt fix inflation? #Nzpol

Annual inflation rises to 3% in the September quarter, with the increase driven by electricity, rent and local authority rates and payments www.interest.co.nz/economy/1357... Hmm

#nzpol. We don't have the money, we gave you $12 a week tax break, and me an extra $340 a week. Ohh, yea, we also gave $2.9 billion to landlords (hey, that is me also, woohoo), and $300 million tax break for tobacco companies. But we just don't have the money for teachers and medical staff, sorry.

In the past our unemployment has been as low as 3% and it stalls there. 100k people out of our 3.4m working aged. Those are the ones who wont work. That 3% will always exist and punishing genuine job seekers when there are no jobs for them wont change that 3% www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... #nzpol

How fucked is this? The nats say it is legal to strike but that they might have to change that and make it illegal FFS, pay them what they are worth! They govt is offering in real terms a pay cut for 90% of doctors, and a real terms pay cut for all nurses www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... #nzpol

werewolf.co.nz/2025/10/gord... Gordon Campbell On The Government’s Dodgy Claims About Reading Achievement

To the surprise of no one, the government of cu ts was making shit up.

Nice to see politicians focusing on the issues of the day, fighting the good fight, working on the important stuff, the kind of shit that will produce huge benefits for our people... <sigh> www.rnz.co.nz/life/lifesty... #nzpol

#nzpol, translation "Everyone else is fucking over their staff so why shouldn't we"

#nzpol, if the Nats sell Chorus we can all get an increase in our internet bills for exactly the same quality of service, or probably an even lower quality, but hey what do I know, other than past experience I have nothing to judge this idea by

#nzpol, if the facts don't fit change the formula, leave things out

Ahh, a cost cutting government hard at work fucking us over www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa... #nzpol

Do they know this is New Zealand? Here we don't make plans to fix things, we wait for them to break then slap some duct tape on it and hope it lasts another 50 years www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... #nzpol

Where do I sign up for this? www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines... #nzpol

#nzpol. taking a page out of trumps playbook the nats are trying to setup the left as terrorist

The fucker is even sounding like trump now "We care about these young people. We love these young people, but the best thing for them is to make sure that they are either in work, or study, or employment, you know, or in training," luxon said. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... #nzpol

#nzpol, how many people is the #USA going to kill in a futile attempt to distract people from the fact that its president is a pedophile and rapist? For this piece of shit they will go to war on a country that less than 1/000th of the resources for defense, US$740million vs US$850 billion budget

The list of people initially included Craig Renney & the CTU but also the likes of Chartered Accountants of Australia & NZ. In the end we were separated into "analysts" & "media" & Willis (after too long a speech) then ignored any questions from the analysts side of the room. Very underwhelming.

I've been attending Budget Lockups since 2010. During each lockup the Minister of Finance of the day will make a short speech & then take questions. By a long way Willis has been the least impressive & confident. Remember this year she tried getting potential critics banned. /1

The data in this article is absolutely damning. In the face of this, Nicola Willis’ response is idiotic. It’s a long article. If you don’t have time for all the words, the graphs tell the story. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

#usa #nzpol USA is reminding me of those 80s party movies, they are still at the 10:30pm point and the parents aren't due back until tomorrow 🤣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-Tu...

The New Zealand government economic geniuses have us "back on track"....

Worth reading to see who suffers the most when the retirement age is raised. Hint: it's women, low paid workers, and those already out of work in their late 50s. We need proper conversations about this in AoNZ #nzpol

Was there really on one in all of NZ who could do the work? #nzpol

#nzpol meanwhile in america the precrime unit is being formed

Basically they have caved without trying to fight, accepting and cementing trump as emperor www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/5... #nzpol

Iwi around the motu stand in the way of corporations & govt selling off our resources to the highest bidder. Iwi are the last line of defence particularly for our environment & this shitty govt has attacked & undermined Māori & Te Tiriti relentlessly. Vote these racist arseholes out. #nzpol

reading about trump invading Portland Oregon, #nzpol, lets hope luxon can't read 🤣

Maybe #nzpol its time for him to acknowledge that other country is real?
