This is Pike River level gross negligence by gov. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/regiona...

We've had one term of Trumpism foisted off on #NewZealand through the rotting corpse of the National Party by #ACT and their backers. Another term would surely be much worse. Don't let this kind of bullshit spread to #NZ #NZPol.

Are you 50YO or older in Aotearoa New Zealand? Hanging on till you get superannuation because it's harder to find work? Think about National's plan to raise Superannuation age! Will you live long enough to retire? Register to vote on 7 November 2026! #NZpol www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

“Author’s note: The article serves as a warning about what could happen if NZ First becomes the kingmaker. The threat is real, and the pattern of policies confirms it. I hope this message reaches everyone, including those who support NZ First.” #nzpol

It remains utterly disheartening that there are a ton of men in New Zealand who are generally decent blokes but they would rather cut off their own ballsack than take an unabashedly leftist position on something or admit that anything is actually deeply alarming. #nzpol

National unemployment figures under Labour government vs National Government; notice how one side creates jobs and the other just rips them away? 🤔 #nzpol

As of the March 2023 quarter (reported in May 2023), Auckland's unemployment rate was 3.4%. One term under Luxon; Auckland 6.6% Wellington unemployment rate was even lower, averaging approximately 2.8% / 3.0 % for the 2023 calendar year. One term under Luxon; Wellington 6.3% #nzpol #NZ

“trade data shows that butter is far from the only item that has a higher price when it's made in New Zealand.” #nzpol

This woman is an evangelical church member and an obsessive racist. All she posts is defamation of Indians, Muslims, etc – including clandestine photographs of people in public places (with a side of Charlie Kirk and Winston Peters and herself in a bikini). I can see why police may have had a word.

Oh shit, Hoskins is still on air! #nzpol

Umm ... "Now over the last few days I have spoken to many business owners & business leaders who are experiencing real difficulties, & if that's you I would encourage you to explore that wage subsidy and that information is available at workandincome..." #nzpol

Dr Singh: "I hope this message reaches everyone, including those who support NZ First." i do too but don't know how to realistically achieve that irl. but maybe someone in #nzpol has an NZF-supporting whanau member or acquaintance and the table below is something you can talk through with them? 🤞

Now sure, nobody is going to complain about quicker activation or a bit less cost in paperword Australia gets solar live in 24 hours But they've also subsidised install of 380,712+ home battery systems for a total of 10gwh of storage *since May 2025* #nzpol www.energy-storage.news/australia-in...

As for investment - no shit. We've kind of forgotten how. To be fair, Govt capital investment is picking up now - but it's the wrong stuff! Roads instead of green energy, jails instead of hospitals. [4/n]

Groan. Labour productivity is just (salaries + profits) / (hours worked). So, if your economy is increasingly low-wage, low-tech and service-focused (hi, work visas), and profits are siphoned offshore... voila, low productivity. [3/n]

The economy is not recovering slowly - it's stopped getting worse. Some of the $ being spent on debt servicing costs is now being spent into the economy. Govt is also spending capital. That has enabled some companies to make a few extra dollars and jobs have stopped disappearing. Now what? [2/n]

Great example of myths getting embedded. RNZ reporting on the OECD economy review of NZ: 'high public debt' a big concern? The report *actually* says NZ has low public debt... but then parrots Treasury's concern that debt will grow exponentially. Treasury's fiscal policy is so 1985. More? [🧵 1/n]

Very good piece and highly relevant to austerity’s effects in Aotearoa. #nzpol @l11p.bsky.social @gtiso.bsky.social @kentduston.bsky.social

"In one 24 hour period this week, on Monday, the party made 4 false or misleading claims alone on their Facebook page ranging from Labour was soft on crime using their cherry picked and wildly extrapolated crime stats they keep repeating..."

"It's probably not a bad thing to remind people [about] things like ...women having equal rights...to have them positively affirmed is probably a good thing." Says the man who recently cancelled pay equity claims for women in Aotearoa NZ. #nzpol

'Why aren't more people worried about climate change?' we wonder, as Stuff ranks a dire new climate report below Simon Barnett's fit body in order of importance #nzpol

"lots we can do" The climate change denying parties will never admit they are wrong so they will never "do". Costs will be pushed onto the wrong people. Just like Three Waters. #nzpol

Daughter works for an educational institution & said the numbers of students dropping out of studying is unreal. Gone are the part-time jobs of my day, kids are totally stressed financially. Accepting this as ok endangers the future of this country #nzpol

If I don't hear major radio stations telling this govt to go fuck themselves live on air, then getting rid of the BSA really was a waste of time and money. #nzpol

ACT’s 6-point plan for Immigration: 1. Deport. 2. Expire. 3. Stand-down. 4. Fees. 5. English. 6. Enforcement. My #cartoon today #NZpol #Immigration

Slowing the move to renewables through the cancellation of schemes like GIDI isn't look quite so "fiscally responsible" now #nzpol businessdesk.co.nz/article/ener...

As the pushback from teachers and the public grows larger so do the Government’s lies and its not just on Education changes #nzpol They lie because there’s no accountability and too often the media present the misinformation without context or credible analysis www.rnz.co.nz/news/educati...

A story crammed packed with the usual suspects and tactics preventing higher standards for Aotearoa and food production and protecting low animal welfare standards or imported pork. #NZpol

Imo, amalgamation of Waitakere into the super city created a power shift away from communities - total disenfranchisement for many. Connections were severed & the decades spent building relationships with Council/Councillors, built on knowing the area, people, community and needs went. #nzpol 1/n

Rooftop solar is a no-brainer in NZ now: not just because solar got cheap, but because grid power got expensive. Residential prices ~23% above the world average, up 12.5% in the year to March. The grid is the problem; the roof is the workaround. #nzpol

Regional scale government has been a conservative dream for years now. They rightly see it as a powerful tool to stop cities from investing in the things that cities need (eg public transport; safer walking and cycling).

#nzpol 🇳🇿 this is the party NZF are aligning themselves with. This isn’t a one off with this one would be politician. It’s a repeated pattern.

Senior leadership role at *checks notes* Planitir?! Oh hell no. 🤦‍♀️ #nzpol

#nzpol Perspective?!? PERSPECTIVE!!! Please, someone, anyone, give Seymour some bloody perspective. 🤬

Are you fucking kidding me? Who are they forcing us to become?! 🤨 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #PEACE #NZ

It’s worth remembering that in the 2017 election where Act campaigned on its truly toxic economic policy, it got only 0.3% of the party vote. The only thing that gets it above the 5% threshold is the added racism #nzpol
