Kia Ora Earthlings, Here is the actual press release from our overlords... errr... I mean Government. #nzpol #economy #employment #publicservice #aotearoa www.beehive.govt.nz/release/publ...

Greeting Earthlings, ever wondered why governments have no problems bailing out corporations but have trouble helping those unemployed? Yeah me too. #economics #nzpol #aotearoa substack.com/home/post/p-...

NEW DEPARTURE. Esteem Endeavor 49999DWT has departed Singapore. Due in Lyttelton on 1/5. #nzpol #nznews #tankers

The urge to have a little piece of bread with something is always lurking.

Earthlings! Some important analysis regarding our governments policies & how they have affected Kiwi businesses. #nzpol #economics open.substack.com/pub/annie354...

Earthlings! This is must watch from our teachers in Aotearoa. @claireamosnz.bsky.social discuss the trojan horse of charter schools & ERO reports #nzpol #education open.substack.com/pub/aecnz/p/...

right guys, economic cycle is not going to save us, let's get our brain cells tuned into this thing big-style, Burgess - get on the whiteboard... now... what you got Erica? www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

SHE JUST BLAMED LABOUR She blamed Labour She blamed Labour for National's plan to do jack shit to help us out #nzpol

A summary of Nicola Willis’s 1pm media conference for anyone that missed it #nzpol

Huge shoutout to @taniawaikatolawyer.bsky.social for raising awareness on this. Amazing use of her platform. See the stats: nzpt.cjs.nz #nzpol #onetermgovt

Crazy cvid years clearly visible... just look at those excessive subsidies to, errrm, keep businesses afloat and support our creaking health system. Spend on social protections hit 13% of GDP in 2022! Numbers not seen since 2011 🤔. Oh, and in 2025 after RBNZ & Govt tanked the economy.

So 2 Covid-19 Royal Commissions now find Labour did an excellent job & led NZ to one of the best outcomes globally. The report also vindicates the economics. If $30 billion was spent on schools, infrastructure etc that's amazing and supportive. National are borrowing $120 billion w/o a pandemic

Find all the data you can - we’re clearly going to need it to keep correcting the MPs who plan to campaign by spreading total bullshit and hoping people don’t bother to look up facts, while trying to drown out those that do. A lie will run around the world before the truth has got its boots on

Kia Ora Papatūānuku te Iwi Greeting earthlings Wonderful explainer from Māori Minds regarding the terms/phrases in the treaty-Te Tīriti and their context. #nzpol #tetiriti #maori #education #aotearoa www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8Et...

newsroom.co.nz/2026/03/04/t... Oh dear. Can we get an OIA on Goldsmiths communications with the board member? Perhaps we can have a look at what National MPs were telling the media to publish in the run up to the last election. #nzpol

I hosted a 'Hoon' yesterday with Cathrine Dyer PhD & Catherine Knight with epidemiologists and public health & climate specialists Alistair Woodward & Caroline Shaw.

"Mum/Dad/Aunty/Uncle (over 50s), I want you to do the children a favor. You know things have been going rapidly downhill. Right & centralist led government austerity policy is making things worse. I want you to think about the next generation & consider voting Green in the upcoming election." #nzpol

Kia Ora Earthlings! @bernardchickey.bsky.social & @labourcartel.bsky.social get nerdy & dirty discussing the economics of LNG in Aotearoa & the consequences from Geopolitics. #aotearoa#nzpol #economics #LNG #geopol #iran #energy www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8Mk...

Dumpster fire is an understatement. 😬

Earthlings! Ooof!!! Sad but true!

Chorus out: LNG terminal in Taranaki will tie NZ wholesale electricity & gas prices to global gas prices; Gas price rose 47% last night after Iranian drones shut Qatar's LNG plant; NZ power prices would follow #nzpol open.substack.com/pub/thekaka/...

Earthling, check this out! “They are fighting the Epstein class that either rape little girls or bomb little girls” Dr Foad Izad of the University of Tehran -March 2026 Video from Al Jazeera on Facebook #nzpol #geopol #iran #epsteinfiles #economics

Begging for basic fact checks. These conflicted NZI ghouls appear to be able to simply take-up column inches because (a) media needs content, and (b) their sponsors pay their wages. And, when they get those inches, they basically lie through their teeth to shape opinion. Let's have a look [🧵 1/n]

Earthlings! @bernardchickey.bsky.social interviews Paul Conway from the RBNZ. Here are a couple of compelling moments from todays interview. #nzpol #economy #inflation #rbnz Full interview here: thekaka.substack.com/p/mini-hoon-...

Earthlings, see the ironic contrast between the PM's quote and the ZB show caption. "I don't take advice" vs "every view from every angle" I can hear music from curb your enthusiasm in my ears LOL. #nzpol #irony #luxon

Govt can ofc conjure up $200m out of thin air and use it to buy equity in a company. The Govt balance sheet expands by $200m on the liabilities side, and $200m on the asset side. As long as the return on the assets exceeds the cost of the debt, they are quids in. The ghouls hate it. BUT... [1/2]

Please can you guys share this piece or if not the piece, the information in it, on social media. #nzpol NZCPR Author on Tamatha Paul Cycleways vs Water Piece Doesn't Exist. Minutes from the meeting and those there, on the left & right of council, have confirmed the vote never happened as described

Earthlings! If you are not following Bernard Hickey, what are you doing with your life? 😉👌

Moving on from "eat the rich" to "guillotine the rich"

An image says a thousand words! #economics #homelessness #cruelty #housing

Earthlings! Bernard discuses the cold economic facts of the “move on orders” policies from this government. TLDR: Not only is it heartless it is shitty economics. #nzpol #cruelty #economics #prisonindustrialcomplex #homelessness #humanity #kindness

Our ✌️fiscally responsible✌️ government 😨🥴

So a Government that is restricting spending on health, housing, investment etc is handing over $650m a year to four banks that make nearly $10b profit per year…kewl kewl…

Quick look at the Govt bonds and settlement account debt outstanding and the interest rate payable on each. Govt pays about $7bn per year in interest - equivalent to less than 3% per annum on the $240bn total. Yes, that's less than inflation (has been for years).

Useful graph for the debt scare folks. Govt debt-servicing costs are super low these days. So much headroom to invest in the many, many things we need for the long-term, yet still we beg for eye-wateringly expensive private finance.

Tim Murphy’s “omg everyone hates Luxon” piece is so funny bro white bread is up 60%, there’s no jobs, there’s literal shit in the air in the capital city, people responsible for the engines of economy are leaving in droves, no workers rights, no action on climate change, voter suppression 🤷🏽‍♀️

Huh? Banks have been using a cost-plus model for the last decade with the enthusiastic endorsement and active support of RBNZ, to our national impoverishment #nzpol

While legacy media in the U.S. ignore the plight of the Cuban people due to U.S. actions, it’s up to diehard independent journalists to bring you the truth. open.substack.com/pub/extremea...

I think the look on his face is the image people have in mind when they use the phrase ‘royally fucked’

Congratulations to our PM. 😝

Last night I did some research on debt during Ardern Labour years and the top google results all returned with Christchurch Matthew Horncastle raving on about how Ardern ruined the country Not great That big lie is what National hope will secure them a second term with ACT/NZ First #nzpol #kiwi

The RBNZ says the economy must grow from now on without housing booms super-charging consumer spending, but isn't sure the 'bits-tacked-on' in our 'housing market with bits tacked on' type of economy are enough to power growth. 1/2 #nzpol open.substack.com/pub/thekaka/...

Earthlings! “Where is the economic growth going to come from?” A simple questions that is complicated to answer. @bernardchickey.bsky.social had some very thoughtful questions at the RBNZ conference yesterday. #nzpol #economics #growth #productivity #RBNZ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Orc-...

EARTHLINGS!!! What being "woke" really means. This latest video from Richard Murphy explores what being woke actually means. I invite you to have a watch and a think: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRd6... #nzpol #uspol #ukpol #geopol #democracy #education #economics

NZ govt (and voters) are still hiding their collective heads in the sand when it comes to the costs of caring for an aging population. It's not only hospitals and health centers, its also GPs, housing, nursing care, hospice staff, paid and unpaid care work, assistive devices, mobility etc
