Not to be a whinger, but there is a large constriction trailer blocking my driveway. So annoying and inconsiderate 🤬

The fundamentals of our government, no workers on WorkSafe board They are a death cult that cares nothing about kiwis. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

A reminder that the Greens have a much more thorough proposal based on tax reform that not only includes free GP visits but also... * Free dental care * Income support increases * Building 35,000 new homes * Residential clean power subsidies * Unwinding pretty much all of Luxon's cuts ...and more.

God Orcon are fucking useless. Currently getting about 10 % of the download speed I have actually paid for. Been like this for days now. Not the first time this has happened to me, and last time it took their tech department ages to fix.

No thanks Adobe Acrobat, I don't think I will use your stupid generative AI to summarise the pdf.

ACC is run like an insurance company, and like all insurance companies, it profits by cheating its clients www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Warren Forster is absolutely right: this is exactly what ACC did in 2009-10. I’m proud of my part in the successful campaign to reverse that approach. Needed again. ACC stops payments to record numbers of long-term clients www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Horrific. Why do we allow this cult to continue? Its disgraceful that successive govts have let this go on.

"People will leave the country" scream National To where, fuckers? Australia that already has CGT? Where 90k kiwi's have already left because of your policies and mismanagement? #nzpol

Better than nothing but still completely milquetoast and disappointing Would have preferred a wealth tax sold on the fact that it targets the super rich. This will be painted as taxation on "hard working Kiwis" and Hipkins had better be prepared to defend it #nzpol

I'm not a huge fan of reducing policies to what they'll benefit or cost me per year but a capital gains tax to save me $60 a year? $5 a month? That is pathetic.

Labour trying out center left policies

This is so fucking pathetic. Meaningless tinkering that will do very little to solve wealth inequality, and the absolute demolishing of public services caused by the neo-liberal economic plan. But I am not surprised, Labour is the party of milquetoast liberalism & do-nothing meaningless platitudes.

She will rule it out. But Gloriavale is a child rape and abuse cult, every fucking person in NZ knows it, and EVERY government that has allowed it to remain in existence is culpable.

Labour just went for CGT-lite. It won't raise much money & won’t change the incentives in our housing-market-with-bits-tacked-on economy. It’s focus-group-hugging performative politics. It tells low wage renters flying to Australia: not much will ever change. It says; ‘Fly my pretties. Fly’. #nzpol

🏺🧪🦣 Was more than happy to speak to @killgrove.bsky.social for this: even if you ignored the horrendous, insurmountable ethical issues, what we'd learn would do almost nothing to advance our understanding of prehistoric #Neanderthal lives, nor our encounters with them. There's zero justification.

Andrew gets it. Shame the buffoons in power don’t. 🙄 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #CostOfGreedCrisis

I don’t care how much you liked these stories, do not watch the new series or buy merch or read the books to your kids. Don’t support a genocide.

BIG NEWS. The NZ Green Party have signed our open letter calling on bipartisan effort to regulate AI. Looking at you now @chrishipkins.bsky.social Luxon 👀 #nzpol Regulateai.nz

I have finished my 4th reading of 1984 by George Orwell. Such an amazing book. I highly recommend the Frank Muller audiobook if reading via audiobook.

Every few months discourse about eating with hands/fingers. You’re not gonna gaslit billions of people who wash their hands every 2 hours that they are dirty lol. Give it up white people 😂 racist Nazis with 0 flavor talking about food lol the audacity.

I'm sorry but why the fuck were you driving a caravan around in a red wind warning?

I'm in Dunedin and can confirm it got quite bad for a few minutes there. Seems to have calmed now

Former University of Mississippi employee Lauren Stokes is alleging that Chancellor Glenn Boyce violated her First Amendment rights when he fired her after she shared a social media post criticizing Charlie Kirk. The post called him a “yt supremacist and reimagined Klan” member. buff.ly/PikB3JN

Not just the striking health workers. I support every worker from every union striking today. These folks are hardworking pillars of the community here in New Zealand, and they deserve better. #Oct23Strike

I'm also a frequent patient -heart condition- and support the nurses ✊

Please use the #Oct23Strike hashtag for related posts. Easier for Dan too

The welfare state could be "an essential tool to maintain the social fabric of society, rather than a cost to be reduced"? Why did no-one mention this??

Ultra-conservative= fascism. Just say fascist ffs! Also I hate the implicit liberal appeal of "yeah they're a fascist... But at least it's a woman doing the bad things and not a man. Yay girl-boss." Literally the female-drone pilot meme.

This slow pivot towards a sort of budding global fascism has been wild and deeply unsettling to watch in real time

Remember this Judith Collins thinks people like her, but they really fuckin’ hate her. We had a whole election about it

I don't know what pathogen will cause the next pandemic - Disease X - but what I do know is that the combination of the immune dysregulation effect of SARS-CoV-2 and the political legacy of our response to Covid means this pandemic makes us much more vulnerable to the next one.
