It's your job to be the one that doesn't shut up about being registered to vote. Especially around young people.

Budget 26: Country, Opposition, advocates have low expectations of support for those struggling most FTFY RNZ #nzpol

Shane Jones wakes in a cold sweat #nzpol

Rātū: Tuesday

Out of band EZ AI rant, a handy summary of the bubble, and the river Willis/Goldsmith are selling us down via AI Public Service #nzpol

"Growth" #nzpol

Day 27 #nzmusicmonth

Key budget message is a bit on the nose. But fair enough - I appreciate the honesty.

Day 26, no #nzmusicmonth is complete without some Clean

#OtD 25 May 1978 police in Aotearoa/NZ attacked a land occupation by Māori people at Bastion Point, near Auckland, demanding the return of the stolen land. They were evicted but protests continued and in 1988 the govt agreed to return the land stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9772...

Day 25 #nzmusicmonth

Jones and Nash effortlessly slotting into NZ First says more about the appalling decline and degradation of the core values of the Labour Party since the 1980s than it says about Jones and Nash.😒 #OneTermGovernment #nzpol

Just discovered the office kitchen is in bluetooth range of my desk, I can make coffee during Team’s meetings that should have been emails #smallwins

Not just tech exec's and managers Ed, Ministers of Finance also #nzpol

TLDR: We dont know how or if it will work, and as long as Nicola makes her numbers we also dont care #nzpol

Tangaroa: God of the sea and fish

The ethos behind the Luxon government's energy policies: we can't invest in cheap, plentiful, renewable, environmentally-neutral energy sources when we can persist with expensive, limited, diminishing, climate-compromising fossil fuels that still offer vast profits to global corporations. #nzpol

Wonder why they didnt use images of famed National Party runners, Goldsmith, Willis, Bishop and Walls #nzpol

Betteridge's Law kinda gives it away, but lots of pretty red numbers none the less

I hope you realize how much all those tokens are going to cost Nicola #nzpol

Long fucking sigh with eyeroll

Congratulations to Maiki Sherman, Political Journalist of 2026: "I won this award for my coverage of TPM.. I am courageous, and I am fearless when it comes to holding politicians to account, but that’s across the board, and I make no apologies for that." National took her out for covering coups

This is the trillion dollar bubble of hype Nicola Willis doesn't understand the use of, or cost of. The reality is she doesn't care, its just a shiny distraction to slash public service cost/voodoo the numbers to deliver a budget surplus at some stage in the future #nzpol

Day 22 #nzmusicmonth

ingoa: name

Finance Minister Nicola Willis and one of her plans for saving her Budget. My #cartoon today #NZpol #PublicService

Day 21 #nzmusicmonth

I have a strong suspicion the dog can count, how else would he know there are slices of cheese left to eat when the block goes back into the fridge... #🐕nz

Something for Willis and Goldsmith to watch given the complete lack of policy and guardrails as the Govt rushes toward AI nirvana... #nzpol

Day 19 #nzmusicmonth

In the ongoing side quest to degasify the whare I have procured a Micathermic Heater (electric). When a new stove top (electric) is procured and plumber/sparky types have been engaged to do things I shouldn't mess with we will be down to gas hot water only #smallsteps
