Hope someone in the coalition saw the numbers for today’s Pay Equity March - cause they need to realise what they did was not popular.

If you need proof many right wing commentators are full of shit look back to August 2024 Today's economic results reveal a near 1% drop in GDP in the latest quarter - that's a significant but not unexpected contraction #nzpol

Earthlings! @musicalchairs.bsky.social goes into ganster mode for this explainer about the dynamics between asset owners & working class.

Earthlings! This article is very counter intuitive to what most people believe about local Councillors. Most of us believe that they are just all “over paid bureaucrats”, hence why the pay cut agenda is so effective. #nzpol #local #council #education open.substack.com/pub/localaot...

Greetings earthlings, check out this pretty flower...

Ray Chung is still polling 2nd for Mayor and likely to get elected to his Ward + Greens are being shouted down at debates. We’re fighting hard to win and need your help. If you can, give a little to my campaign to back a strong, principled voice at Council🌿#nzpol www.greens.org.nz/donatetory2025

I suppose many had a cause, but one person definitely had the capability to take him out. Reminds me of how Russians keep falling out of windows.

Kia Ora Earthlings! As a young snowflake, I appreciate @bernardchickey.bsky.social work. I've learnt more about #Aotearoa s history from listening his podcasts & reading his news letters, than when I was at school. #nzpol #education #history #context #economics thekaka.substack.com/p/why-a-reco...

No shit Sherlock! 🤦‍♀️

Kia Ora Earthlings! Here is my public submission against the Electoral Amendment Bill, the one that stops people from registering to vote on or within 13 days of election day. #nzpol #civics #education #vote #democracy substack.com/home/post/p-...

The Auckland Anniversary floods and official response in 2023 were the low points of Mayor Wayne Brown’s term. Fresh claims have emerged about what was happening in his office that night.

Our love language is to pull the next govt to the left ❤️🤍🖤, unapologetic about it.

What Sir Geoffrey Palmer says in this Q+A interview is very counter intuitive to what so many people often say about our MP’s, politicians & the size of our Parliament. I personally feel the same way about local councils. #nzpol #education #democracy #civics www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryVH...

As a Proud South Aucklander, I am chuffed to see people utilizing this infrastructure. Good on ya Patrick, and safe Travels Mate 😎

i call bullshit NZ Herald, history is not on your side "Interislander ferry Aratere was retired recently to allow for work in Picton." #nzpol

Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

#nzpol Big turn out tonight at the Living Wage Election Forum Event. The Living Wage right now puts an extra $172 a week into the pay packet of a full time worker. Dignity at work comes from decent pay for everyone - not from tax cuts.

The more we learn about the RSB the worse it looks. #NZPol Dr Ryan Ward and Melanie Nelson have published an investigative piece on the foreign influence on the RSB and extensive lobbying by Bryce Wilkinson. youtu.be/LPO26Rc8pls?...

"The company unveiled the plans in 2021, saying the data centres would open in 2024 -but construction was halted in 2023. As of last December, the plan was to open the data centres this year. ... However, he refused to comment on how much energy or what form of cooling the centres would use." #nzpol

Here's a little story from VUW on receiving a distinguished alumni award. www.wgtn.ac.nz/news/2025/08...

Remember folks, all this is entirely self-inflicted: there was no underlying national or international crisis. The only rationale was to defeat inflation that was already decreasing, and to address the allegedly high government deficit that Willis has now increased

#nzpol Nicky: - no boats - no new supermarkets - no-one getting $250 a fortnight - no debt reduction - no jobs - no pay equity - no child poverty reduction - no Central Bank Bosses left - no hope The quiet whispers of leadership must be getting louder

Get a hot chocolate, some snacks… & a box of tissues. This is a profound Korero about education & teaching. Thanks @claireamosnz.bsky.social & fellow teachers for all the work you do. #education #NCEA #teachers #nzpol #aotearoa

Thanks @foxylustygrover.bsky.social This is not an easy topic. 🙏

All claims about #generations are actually eternal cliches about age group. Young people have always moved jobs (voluntarily or otherwise) more than older people. This is still true, but 15-24 less mobile than in the past. Still, nonsense about Gen Z job-hoppers gets run. www.thenewdaily.com....#generations

Paul Conway has a compelling take on the role/limits of the #RBNZ on #Aotearoa ’s economy. I invite you to watch the full interview with @bernardchickey.bsky.social, it’s pretty interesting. #economy #nzpol #inflation www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9u9...

Kia Ora Earthlings, Sir Geoffrey Palmer does NOT hold back in this Oped about #Aotearoa 's democracy & what's at stake. #nzpol #democracy #votersurpression #civics #education newsroom.co.nz/2025/08/12/g...

Local government in NZ doesn't need artificial constraints... ...it needs proper resourcing, and more progressive folks elected, so we can deliver better things for our communities. Sooo show up and vote this year, and if you're in Waitematā in the big Aucks vote @cityvision.bsky.social #nzpol

Just sitting here with my English degree looking at the discourse of "we want kids to learn English first before exposing them to other languages" and there's so many thoughtful sensible responses to make but all my brain wants to do is scream the word "PYJAMAS" over and over

Kia Ora Earthlings, #Barbados is way ahead of #Aotearoa, they've recognized the Palestinian state since last year. Even acknowledging this conflict as a #genocide. #nzpol #geopol #freepalestine www.middleeastmonitor.com/20240504-car...
