#nzpol Today he’s separating himself from Brian Tamaki, but in 2018 Seymour and Tamaki were bosom buddies. Video from @mountaintui.bsky.social youtu.be/Wb2sC2XMMfA?...

I changed my in game handle today (on my wifes suggestion), to "your mothers got a lovely blouse" and let me tell you... ...it gets quite the reaction from the community

David "Nutrition is arbitary" Seymour

News around seizure of Brian Tamaki's guns highlights limits of NZ's ability to address hate, even after March 2019's lessons. I've studied every speech, & every 'sermon' by him online going back to '21. He's NZ's leading proponent of dangerous speech, but always with plausible deniability. #nzpol

who knew that if you tried to feed children prison food where lowest unit cost was the only consideration, that this would happen, how utterly predictable. this is what Seymour wanted, the whole program is a farce, a waste of money, and the poors are ungrateful curs www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361...

Open to all. Hipkins says 'Neoliberal, trickle-down economics is a hoax,' but he hasn't disavowed the 30:30 rule at the heart of National & Labour's three-decade-long adherence to neoliberalism; Not yet at least #nzpol open.substack.com/pub/thekaka/...

Just read that Akihiro Miwa, the great Japanese singer/actor/drag queen, passed away at 91. You might have known him as the voice of Moro the wolf goddess in Princess Mononoke.

I think we should start measuring government programmes in Hayden Donnell's 'metres of roading'. Lowering the age of bowel cancer screening to 45? 5 metres of road. A year of Three Waters? 63 metres of road. Reading recovery? 13mm of road.

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

given he was investigated at a previous workplace, then installed by Goldsmith AGAINST advice of selection committee this is wildly unsurprising slightly more surprising this government continues to blunder around like this without consequence Yet another case that should have Goldsmith resign

Hipkins not only happy to shaft his potential coalition partners but also his own colleagues. "After weeks of wrangling, Chippy ruled out the wealth tax... I was gutted" Grant Robertson from his memoir.

Tax Policy @greens.org.nz #nzpol i've watched this several times. it's the best explainer of party policy i've ever seen, & it made clear to me how hungry i am for concise, detailed, relevant policy announcements delivered in real talk. @taniawaikatolawyer.bsky.social Part 1 of 3 - the Super Rich ✅✅

They left out an incredible note from the lawyers: "I would note as an aside, the use of AI for the legal challenge has put Council to considerable time and expense and has found no legal irregularity with the report"

Climate change is here 🌏. While Europe is again experiencing extreme heat, here the Council will debate the South Dunedin Future programme one of Aotearoa's biggest large-scale managed retreat plans for an urban community. Some are keen to halt it 😔, let's hope for a positive outcome.

Being that Hipkins polling at a pathetic 16%, isn’t enough for Labour to roll him, is just one of the many many reasons @greens.org.nz are going hand them their arses come November. #nzpol

Interested in how the Green Party's tax plan would impact you? I have another calculator! Most workers would get a cut, but some workers would get a much larger one thanks to the rejig of brackets across the board. www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361...

Missed one; Tax appropriately

"I have accepted Keir Starmer's resignation as my chief servant and have invited Andy Burnham to lay out details for how many meals a day he'll give me"

I'm going to miss George Fouracres Starmer impression; youtu.be/W0lr8o24RJU?...

Bills up. Wages too low. Record profits for Oil & Gas. 50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population. Shit in our rivers. Pensioners jailed for protesting. Migrants thrown under the bus. Supporting a Genocide. That's Starmer's legacy.

You think the Greens having a typo in their tax policy document is bad? I heard Chlöe Swarbrick personally cancelled a half-billion dollar deal to replace our ageing interislander ferries via text message and then we had to pay Hyundai $144 million in contract breaking fees for it oh wait.........

Using the length of one UK PM career as a reminder to replace the batteries in my smoke alarms.

are there lessons for NZ Labour in the Keir Starmer debacle? what an unknowable and mysterious mystery... middle of the road, nothing to no body positioning doesn't seem to be a winner. but then the U.K is a basket case, with GENERATIONS disengaged, FPP and the rising right

#BHN LIVE:Marama Davidson on Tax Policy | National's KiwiSaver promise | Helen Clark on NZ's Future #nzpol www.youtube.com/live/f2xbGnF...

#BHN Tonight at 9pm 📌Marama Davidson joins to discuss Green's Tax Policy proposal this election 📌National announced another election policy, auto enrollment to KiwiSaver at birth, cash topup and more 📌Helen Clark on NZ's past failings that have lead to the problems we're now facing

but Willis has an insatiable appetite for cruelty...?

INCREDIBLY bad faith headline & piece of coverage by RNZ they haven't changed the policy - looks like it was a literal typo & that the numbers themselves are sound aside from the nasty coverage, always amusing to see that rightwing parties never get treated like this even with FAR worse mistakes

Quite the restrained teardown of the book Barry "old man shouts at clouds" Soper has shat out newsroom.co.nz/2026/06/22/o...

The rise of fascism comes with the explicit targeting of queer communities. With a {rising) sea of other, more pressing concerns, our govt are wasting time and money progressing laws that will improve the lives of exactly zero people. The gender definition nonsense can get in the bin.

Claims by National that this would bring NZ into line with Australia are deeply misleading. In Australia, compulsory superannuation contributions equivalent to 12% of employees' salaries are made by employers on top of those salaries.

Just watched this interview with Chloe Swarbrick. She is just so impressive. Do yourself a favour and watch it if you need a shot of hope #nzpol

Besides taxing the super rich the change in tax rates will result in everyone earning under $160,000 receiving a tax cut. That has also been changed since last year’s plan, which would have seen anyone earning under $115,000 receive a boost.
