Cigarette 🚬 Willis is full of s**t not sugar. Conned the electorate with tax cuts that govt borrowed $ to pay for. When a Nat loses the TPU they are doing something really wrong. Even Ruthless Ruth is criticising her! #PutTheNatsLast it's where they put you #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

here's what was happening to your jobs while he was rockin'out

Important for those here who aren't on Twitter. Some very important, and interesting questions to consider. | The New Zealand MFAT’s seeking public views on next Strategic Foreign Policy Assessment. Complete the survey at www.surveymonkey.com/r/J7J8P9V #nzpol

#nzpol 24,000 votes. I KNOW! It’s far from accurate, but JFC, it gives me a little bit of hope. I like hope 💚.

Is this not just restarting all the stuff they stopped in 2023 and 2024? You know, when they stopped projects with builders literally on site to save money for their tax cuts?

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

My cartoon in today's www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3608... Erica Stanford & her ministry are axing Art History in Aotearoa for senior school students. This cartoonist wouldn't be the person I am without it. I thank all those who've come before me, who work now, and to future artists.

Imagine paying nearly $700M for no boats and still having the confidence to say this? #nzpol

Even 95 is too optimistic 😆👀😳 #NZPol

Recommend this detailed long summary of NZ's decisions around debt and housing. We need fresh thinking. Bernard Hickey is a national treasure. #nzpol @bernardchickey.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiuI...

Spine? Have a good rummage through your pocket's and see if you can find some balls.....👀👀👀 #NZPol

This closeness is perhaps why the coalition is looking to stop people enrolling to vote during the voting period. Special votes usually break left. At the last election, National ended up with 2 fewer seats than on election night after special votes were counted. #nzpol

Kia Ora Earthlings! You know how Luxon kept saying that our inflation was caused by massive gov spending? Well, that's BS. Our Inflation followed global trends, in fact slightly below global average. NB: We are the yellow line #nzpol #economics #inflation

Three individuals. Three narratives. One coalition. Zero coherence.

Shane Jones has been given $200 million in taxpayer money for a fossil fuel slush fund. But he's used wildly inaccurate gas data to justify it! If you don't want to see new oil and gas exploration here in Aotearoa, take action and sign the petition to resist Big Oil 👉 greenpeace.nz/x4e6gq #nzpol

3,500 organic signatures in 4 days. People are tired of the constant bullying and belittling from this government. This is only the start. We deserve better from our country’s leaders. #nzpol Sign at our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/lu...

Both are useless and dangerous af #nzpol

Indeed, as you pointed out in the thread below. #nzpol

“I was recently quoted as saying the Regulatory Standards Bill ‘will stop lawmakers considering broader public health.’ This exchange led Minister Seymour to question my sanity in a public forum. I stand by my statement.” — Dr George Laking. #NZpol The RSB is bad for your constitution

This needs to be screamed from the rooftops. If Luxon agrees to let this through, I think we should have a nationwide strike - and ask the Governor General to intervene, in the long-term interest of the country.

Great watch. #nzpol

Not sure who to attribute this too - it’s on point #nzpol

You just have to read this. Willis and Stanford speaking passionately in FAVOUR of the bill they are now junking under urgency. #nzpol

If the citizens do not have a say then New Zealand Aotearoa has now become a country with a Dictatorship #nzpol

If this isn't already in the news... It should be. #nzpol #bhn #craigrenney youtu.be/-_dPeOXqeD4

Well worth watching. We are so lucky to have had the calibre of scientists and their teams working during the first years of Covid. Very worrying that our preparedness for the next one and public health work around infectious diseases is not a priority of the current National led government #nzpol

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

If you actually wanted to protect women you'd be spending zero energy trying to define us and one thousand energy trying to eradicate intimate partner violence. #nzpol

I've assembled ingredients to make rocky road to replace easter eggs this year. Choc blocks, roast almonds, dried raspberries and marshmallows. What else should go in?

Oh no its leopard time #nzpol

Just reading a post by my boss. The reason given for Contact not using FastTrack to get their wind farm approved was telling. tl;dr; Contact don't trust the FastTrack process because of how politicised it is and the social and sovereign risk involved. #NZPol www.ackama.com/articles/the...

My heart bleeds for them.

I sat down with sacked UK High Commissioner Phil Goff to find out why he said what he did. The context, and the sacking itself, are fascinating. The extended video interview is halfway down the story. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3606...

#NZPol If they can't defend the policies then they attack the messenger.

Māori Development Minister unaware Goverment ruled out Treaty clause in RMA reform Sure, Potak! Even if true, a big if, I've seen how proudly you stand in National's power and how many damaging policies you've endorsed. Chris Bishop is a toad but those who support him are no better. #nzpol

The Government’s push to reduce its own borrowing to lower borrowing costs for all is backfiring because it turns out pushing costs and debt out and on to councils in an abrupt and chaotic way has just forced S&P to cut 18 council debt ratings. 1/4 thekaka.substack.com/p/s-and-p-do...

When the economy has suffered a coalition king-hit and is lying on the ground completely unconscious and at risk of drowning in its own vomit, assisting the economy into the recovery position counts as an improvement.😒 #nzpol

“Global chaos”? Really? Nothing going on locally that could be to blame huh. Mass unemployment, mass emigration, housing affordability crisis, public service reductions, divisive treaty bills, chunderous school lunches… #nzpol

Rob Campbell, Bernard Hickey, Simon Wilson and Craig Renney all warning us about the hidden costs in PPPs compared to cheaper govt investment. In short it's debt for our grandkids. No free lunch in overseas investment (not even a late or inedible one) #nzpol newsroom.co.nz/2025/03/17/n...

In today’s HeraldOnSunday… #nzpol #tariffs

See the Trend, ain't it keen? All things serve the fucking beam! #NZPol

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

Meanwhile,from last year.Borrowing $12 billion for tax cuts,including $2.9 billion for landlords. Honestly,the next Nat voter who tries telling me that they are better "fiscal stewards"I'll put a slice of bread both sides of their head & call them an idiot sandwich. www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350...

Imagine giving an impassioned speech on how important it is to be able to pay people less Yes Nicola, the minimum wage is the floor, the absolute floor, the bottom rung, the complete and utter least. Then you wonder why folks aren't productive #NZPol
