Video shows a man pinned to the ground as Australian police strike him repeatedly during an arrest. The man appears already subdued as blows continue. The incident occurred at protests in Sydney against Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Video: Jared Kimpton via X (@jared_kimpton)

#nzpol While I do have issues with Bryce Edwards and his repeated quoting of Ani O’Brien and irrational hatred of the greens (not in this piece), this one is really important to consider

This is obvious to anyone who observed their reaction to anything that contributed ANY hardship to one of their wealthy constituents.

Hey guys, friendly reminder to park outside Queensgate if you have a hankering for mall stuff. Parking is a nightmare. #LowerHutt things

Once a b̶r̶i̶l̶l̶i̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶s̶c̶i̶e̶n̶t̶i̶s̶t̶ marginal sketch comedian, he was exposed to toxic levels of gamma-irradiated far-right bullshit. Now Rob Schneider is ... The Incredible Sulk

Ah, Leftovers and No Obligations Day.

The “master negotiator” couldn’t even line up his own ducks in a row, so it now suits him to be bipartisan - but wouldn’t uphold his end of bipartisanship when it came to housing or climate change. Useless is the only adequate descriptor for Luxon.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

Thinking this year will be the last we do the big trip to Auckland. If we were staying with family it would be different , but accommodation costs are stupid.

A PERMANENTLY LOWER GDP?! “Treasury reports 45,000 fewer people employed than in 2023, and its latest forecasts show a permanently lower GDP growth trajectory compared with May projections due to this smaller workforce.” Economic vandalism. 😠 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

Ah Motels, where everything is fine until you do the one thing you really need to use a motel for and attempt sleep, only to find that the fridge is some kind of ancient Eldridge horror.

Read about this last night (complete with the detail of his own-head-like finger tracing the carefully scripted line as he read it out), and thought it might be a new low for Luxo, and perhaps the most blatantly racist statement from a PM since Muldoon.

LOL. You’ve always been a list candidate. You’ve never won an electorate seat. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Quick reminder: The govt that goes on about "wasteful spending" has spent more money on things that have either failed, given 0 return or produced worse outcomes than any previous govt in decades and thats just in 2 years.

Strong 'ha, you can't dump me because I dumped you first,' energy here. #nzpol

Thank fuck no one has to put up with her as MP, but for fucks sake fact check her - labour has announced one new tax affecting 1/10 people, she’s borrowing more than Labour has and ANY investment they make will go towards bettering us and future generations. #nickitreatjunky #nzpol #bhn

Any time David Seymour appears in this news claiming to be standing with a minority targeted by prejudice and violence journalists have an obligation to remind us he accepted a donation from a man who threatened to "destroy mosque after mosque until they take me out" www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350...

I appreciate this graphic issued by the NZ Central Sikh Association in response to the Destiny racists for its inspiring message of anti-discrimination, mutual aid and unity across ethnic & faith communities, and also its subtle reminder that Sikhs are known badasses so why would you fuck with them.

Not only is this blatantly unfair, but for a Party that doesnt believe in collective responsibility,theyre holding ALL children responsible for the actions of others... www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Government performance rating hits new low in survey #NZPol Russell Palmer, Political Reporter [email protected] Greens are now seen as as capable of dealing with the same amount of issues as Nats, Nats rated at 3.9 out of 10, the lowest of any party since the IPSOS Survey began in 2017 lol

98% of us said an unequivocal no to the RSB, yet it has passed its 3rd reading today. This government do not serve Kiwis. They serve the lobbyists & overseas big businesses. F*** the lot of them! #nzpol

And John Key gave him NZ citizenship as a bolthole.

The public almost missed out on learning of the police hierarchy’s cover-up of its disgraced deputy commissioner’s behaviour – because until the 11th hour the Crown wanted a permanent suppression order of his identity. - Newsroom Pro - $

Wtf?!! These are great questions

Just seems a little short while ago that various government politicians, and people acting as their media surrogates, were outraged and scandalized by, and poured scorn on, comments from younger women politicians for suggesting many people don't trust cops. Highest levels of the force - filth.

I was in a discussion last night where it was pointed out that what is happening here is exactly what happened in the UK with Gove, & it hasn’t turned out so great for them over there. We have to stop this, MUST stop this!! #nzpol

Anyone crowing about the removal of politics from the Aotearoa History Curriculum is crowing about the removal of history from the very same curriculum.

Doddering fool

You know how the NZ govt are scrapping the Art History curriculum? You run the risk in 30 years time of people looking at new images like this and not going going YIKES OH NO OH FUCK THAT'S BAAAAD. Like I am right now. HOLY. SHIT.

The Ministry of Education under Erica Stanford is asking NZ Teachers to implement a janky, written for Australia, Maths Curriculum with only 8 wks of planning time. Singaporean teachers will be getting a two year cycle to get ready to implement theirs Too much, too fast, too bad - the National Way.

This needs to spread even wider. Being an ICE agent should lead to pariahhood

Major bonus of finishing that damn loft bed monstrosity is getting all the real estate back in the garage and workshop.

Tonight was a didn't get my arse organized kinda night. So bacon and eggs three ways was.

Just spent the day wrestling together one of those kids loft beds with built in desk, drawers, and wardrobe and can confidently say: "Never fucking again".

Teachers, drs, nurses, etc are dealing with a government that has refused to listen and has steadily stripped away anything that is useful and makes it possible to do a great job. The strike on the 23 Oct is 100% necessary. The strike on the 23 Oct is 100% justified.

lmao god i love linkedin

National are breaking even more things this year.

We have someone with no education knowledge or experience who has decided to be more than the Minister of Education and become the ministry, and media in this country have swallowed it whole. They have let our kids down and should be ashamed.

🤮🤮

And now old mate Luxon has joined in the lying.

Brian Roche is the worst That's the skeet.

So let me get this straight In preparation for this new attack on the unions #JudithCollins asked for the unions to bring them some concerns that sat outside of pay and conditions Then turned around and claimed that one of their responses (Palestine) was “their top priority”, not pay?? #nzpol

A Senior Cabinet minister issuing "open letters" to the public is some amazing third-term lost-touch don't-understand-the-machinery-of-government can't-even-control-the-media-narrative-any-more stuff and it definitely, positively proves they are NOT panicked and running scared and out of ideas

Also, you can absolutely get fucked telling me yhere is no money to pay us properly when you give billions to landlords, tobacco companies and increase spending on killtoys.

The absolute utter desperation of the National Party to be rolling this out 🤣🤣🤣 Teachers and doctors do so much for us & our kids; we are all in solidarity with them - not the wealthy ruling class desperately seeking control 🙄 It is rather amusing that they think this will change any of our views

Your regular reminder that unions represent PEOPLE. They are simply the voice of the PEOPLE they represent. Nothing more. Nothing less. Attack them and you’re attacking the people they represent. It’s pretty simple. #nzpol
